Definitely they are not done. I had to take my daughter to a doctor this past week and in a very red state in the US, the medical system still demands the use of masks. Intentionally I wore a large bright yellow bandana loosely and got deep animosity from everyone in the building we encountered, particularly from the doctor. These people are angry and mentally ill, they will not give up their power easily.

Agreed. And we still have to deal with the thought of our friends dying. Fooled without informed consent. I hope they don't die prematurely after each injection. Hoping these young deaths are anomalies and will drop off. Life has a surreal quality and has turned us into drafted soldiers. my spouse and I see reality similarly so it reinforces my sense of understand. I become exasperated at my belief in this calamity and lies and think i slipped into an altered universe. I hope everyone finds support during what I believe to be intentional upheavals.

I’ve said it before Joel, you saved my GP husbands sanity with your analysis of the data. It confirmed to him what we both thought was going on. Our WTF moment is now 2yrs + old and counting.

That's all we want. Freedom of choice without persecution.

For everyone.

I, also, think focusing my energy on my children is the best investment possible. I look forward to reading articles in 10 or 15 years with titles like "vaccine uptake falls to all time lows, how come there are no major disease outbreaks?" or "Why are young people healthier despite low rate of seeing doctors?" It will be glorious.

Spot on Joel! I have ceased trying to convince anyone, except those that approach me with questions about my stance. If they are interested, I engage them in a philosophical discussion of what trust is and how do we come by it. If they want evidence and analysis, then I take them to my ammunition factory.

"I am not interested in winning arguments.

I am not interested in debunking pro-narrative analyses.

I am not interested in “converting” normies.

I am not interested in saving humanity (or even society)."

- That's pretty much where I am too. If people can't or won't see what is going on at this stage then there is no hope for them. And I'm not just talking about Covid, I'm talking about everything.

Beautiful. Pretty much sums my efforts up into the bargain!

I prefer it with twitter banning dissenting voices. It is easier to know what the truth is and therefore safer.

Thank you for this clear and beautiful post! It soothed my soul and made me smile when you wrote about teaching the children. In this difficult to navigate world, it is a welcome break to simplify life and know that we can trust ourselves, and that we do not need others to agree with our viewpoint or to validate us.

Your honesty and integrity is so welcome. I still get very upset when I see what is going on with humanity at the moment but I’ve come to believe that we are all hear to learn something and my lesson is that I can convince no-one else of anything and that I just have to let go. We all have a choice - however difficult that maybe and we have to live with the choice that we’ve made. I have made mine and nothing will change my mind.

Let us collectively teach how not what to think

At least here on substack we have the freedom to present our views. My choice is to continue to hammer the quackcines and the concept of contagious viruses. As the harm of quackcines becomes more evident by the day, perhaps more will question germ feary and look into what really causes illness. Thanks for your contributions.

On the censorship, I am noticing a change. Since Musk took over Twitter, facebook has stopped putting warnings on my covid and excess deaths related posts!
