This is a very important interview! Thank you for sharing it, Joel. Also, if anyone wants to read the bullet points quickly, I interviewed Mathew a couple of weeks ago about his findings, and wrote up a summary, trying to make it as clear as possible.

I think that your interview got the ball rolling with a topic others were hesitant to approach. Thank you.

Great interview (maybe I was biased because I agreed with everything you said :-) )

I have left several jobs because I could not ethically continue in them. The problem there though is, as others have commented, that as more people leave, the remaining culture becomes more skewed.

In academia when you can have entire departments of people who would lose their jobs /livelihood if they fail on a project and funding is cut, that creates a huge incentive for bias (and that’s just that one area). When we moved to having universities pay their way I think we took a big step in the wrong direction.

I have also seen the culture of “everyone does it” so we have to do it too. ( I think there was a lot of that in early 2020).

As a student it was drummed into me that working in a professional ethical manner was key, I think that has been abandoned as being weak or old fashioned.

Lots to work on everywhere you look!

And another bites the dust... my wife's work colleague told her that a good friend in his early 30's had a heart attack last week ... apparently his ex partner committed suicide recently and he's been feeling down and drinking a fair bit ...

He works for a hotel so is definitely fully vaxxed... my wife asked if he'd been boosted -- no that's not the cause ... he's been drinking to much

I chastised my wife and said what kinda question is that -- you know the vaccines are Safe and Effective and vax injuries are Rare! Her eyes are still rolling around in her head and she's smirking...

Most people are actually not waking up --- the problem is --- they have this poison pumping through their veins .... so to acknowledge it is dangerous ... puts them in an uncomfortable position ....

Better to attribute the injuries to anything but the vax.... plenty of choices on offer such as fluffing the duvet -- ref whistles --- long covid -- hangovers ... rolling the clocks back or forward...

Imagine the power one would need to have ... to be able to basically poison the army of the empire ... and then cover up the ensuing injuries and deaths.

This would normally be an act of treason --- and the people involved would be strung up.

But nobody will hang ... and the MSM will not report on this.

"the DoD issued a vague statement through PolitiFact"

These days when I see something on these fact checkers it gives credibility to the original claim.
