For the record, I resisted the war on covid
For the record, I resisted the war on covid
When the Covid Tribunals are held, I'll have lots of evidence to prove I didn't support our govt's unscientific, tyrannical & dishonest war on a virus that allegedly killed 1 million - 7% under 50.
Just in case I need to defend myself against charges that I supported the war on covid, mask mandates, vax mandates, etc., here's are some old Facebook posts I wrote about the insanity and criminality of the war on covid.
I wrote them for the 25 members of PFS: Pittsburgh Frontline Skeptics, a small group in Pittsburgh devoted to challenging and asking questions about the official Fauci/CDC covid line.
Facebook’s algorithmic robots, of course, fact-checked the tiny site constantly to make sure no dangerous ‘disinformation’ about the lousy efficacy of masks or the dangerous side-effects of vaccines went unchallenged — ‘disinformation’ that now has turned out in many cases to have been true.
I knew the efficacy of masks was a joke.
This post from March 2022 holds up pretty well, and I am only sorry I forgot to mention that the vaccine was not going to be the safe and effective miracle weapon the people in charge said it was.

Masks off.
Hug thy neighbor.
Rip up the vax cards.
All national covid hysteria programming has been cancelled, mainly for political reasons.
Ukraine and its fight against Russian invaders is now streaming on the national media 24/7.
Now that it's too late, we await the inevitable reports and studies that will prove that the 'deniers' and those who said from the get-go that the threat of covid was being overstated by government public health officials and politicians were correct all along.
Also who were correct were those who complained that the threat of covid was sensationalized by the media to make everyone think they and their toddlers were at dire risk of dying from it, not just the people who actually and always were -- the very old and already multiply sick.
We will eventually learn, if we don't already know:
-- that the mass-vaccination-and-multiple-booster approach, like the put-covid-patients-on ventilators approach in hospitals, was a huge mistake.
-- that actual covid-caused deaths were vastly overstated here and in the UK and no doubt elsewhere;
-- that the CDC and FDA were deliberately fudging the real data or hiding it;
-- that both corrupt bureaucracies always knew vaccines were way more harmful than they should have been and didn't work as well as they claimed, either;
-- that the CDC and Fauci always knew cloth masks were virtually useless; ditto for six feet of social distancing.
-- that hospitals were incentivized by federal subsidies for handling covid patients to count hundreds of thousands of deaths from covid when they were actually deaths with covid.
-- that Big Tech were eager accomplices of the feds in suppressing or cancelling any doctors or scientists or journalists who did not toe the official government lines on covid treatment or tried to say, as the Great Barrington Declaration doctors did, that we should let society operate and focus on treating the truly vulnerable.
Beloved wife Trudi wrote this on her Facebook page on March 22, 2020 — and it holds up as both wise and prescient.
I am an Uber driver. I didn't drive last weekend because there was virtually no business. But no one has told me (yet) that I may not drive. Is this because I am in a vital industry? Is it because I and the people who work in restaurants and grocery stores -and, in Pennsylvania, beer distributors(!) - are expendable? Or is it because the powers that be actually know that I am not in any more danger from Covid19 than I was from the seasonal flu that kills tens of thousands of mostly older people every year. Yes, there are people in my life that I'm worried about catching the thing. And I'm not going to go visit them. But, at the risk of pissing off all my family and friends, I must ask - and this is a sincere question - were these drastic zero-tolerance measures worth the virtual destruction of the economy? People are going to lose their jobs and homes. It's easy to imagine that there will be suicides of healthy people who will survive the flu but not the new "great depression" that will surely follow.
John Tierney nailed it in August, 2021
Pittsburgh-born journalist extraordinaire and libertarian John Tierney, once of the New York Times, knew what was going in the summer of 2021 — and what was still to come. He wrote this for City Journal:
"… the nation’s crisis-mongers aren’t about to relinquish their hold over the public, so they’ve set new goals that are as unachievable as they are unnecessary and harmful. Making vaccines available to every American adult is no longer sufficient; now the crisis cannot end until the entire population has been vaccinated. Instead of focusing efforts on vaccinating the vulnerable, officials obsess on compelling universal obedience, even if that means squandering vaccines on people who already have acquired natural immunity or are at minimal risk of serious illness.
A letter to the New York Times — almost
As often as I can I try to shame the NYT and its smug, pathetic NY-centric readers, who are 98 percent liberal, parochial and sheltered from all non-NYT thoughts and opinions.
That means sending comments like this in response to the Times' article claiming that "The Unvaccinated!" -- soon to be a Jordon Peel-produced limited series -- are the main cause of the breakthrough infections in the vaccinated. (No journalistic wonderment was directed at whether the vaccine is flawed or over-rated, of course.)
I'm pleased -- and surprised -- the Times moderators approved it -- along with 1690-plus others.

It's really heartwarming to see the hundreds of great ideas posted here by the elite, all-knowing and morally superior readers of the NYT for oppressing, segregating, shaming, ridiculing, taxing, punishing or exiling those people of all colors and classes and political stripes who have not yet lined up like sheep to get their government-backed, barely tested and scientifically shaky covid vaccine.
Whoopsie -- I typed too soon.
Though I got an email from the Times congratulating me on having my comment approved, when I followed the link to it that they provided, I was told "the comment you are looking for is no longer available."
The CDC’s Useless VAERS site & worthless Big Media
For the record, here's the CDC's useless VAERS page: https://www.cdc.gov/.../2019-ncov/vaccines/safety/vaers.html
Last updated May 14, ha, it blithely describes the possible side-effects of a vaccine -- and elsewhere says with a straight, unmasked face that, "If you are fully vaccinated, you can resume activities that you did prior to the pandemic."
It basically says the VAERS info is useless as a measurement of bad reactions to the Covid vaccines because anyone from a doctor to a family member can file a report. So isn't it interesting, when the pandemic shut down the world, everyone no matter how old, feeble or already sick who had a cell of Covid detected on their body was counted as a Covid death.
The politicians and the un-skeptical media were a panic-pushing tag team that did its best to boost covid deaths and positive test cases, and now they're doing their best to downplay the bad reactions to the vaccine.
The CDC's sacred data has been fuzzy and outdated and confusing from Day One. It still is. And the fact that the stinking vaccine-boosters in the national media are more interested in throwing cold water on any vaccine-related problems is just the latest example of how useless and servile most of the big-shot media have become.
If were honest, the NYT or WaPo would be digging into the VAERS data and trying to determine exactly how many people are dying or being harmed by the vaccine, which is made out to be as good as grapefruit for every individual human being, no matter whether they are young or old or pregnant or sick in any way.
