I'll be honest. I'm usually not a vindictive person. But for these people, I can't find it in my heart to forgive them. I really need my.pound.of.flesh. I need people to be sent to jail. The amount of angst I had to go through to get covid exemption for my two kids is something no parents should have to go through. It's as if we're living in a draconian authoritarian rule (by mid level college morons no less). I really need FDA/CDC et al to be punished. Tear down the system where on person has control of fund/research grant. Where every researcher has to toe the line. We have to get rid of the Pharma as the oversight board (by proxy with money). Do I expect any of this to happen, no. But it makes me smile imagining these people being hauled off to jail.

I was in TX recently and I was chatting with a 70 year old woman and naturally the topic went to the shots. She said that she got her 5th shot, the bivalents just a few weeks earlier. I told her that I wasn't going to get it, that my doctor (a direct pay private practice) told me that given my age, my health and everything else, it didn't make any sense for me to get the shots as they are not very effective. This woman's response was that her doctor told her that she needed to get the latest shot and she should get more in the future. She was adamant that she would do exactly as her doctor told her to do and that her doctor didn't tell her that the latest shot isn't effective, quite the opposite.

Until the doctors start keeping up with the research and start putting their patients first, like they are supposed to, nothing will change. The doctors just follow what the CDC and FDA tell them to do. Those organizations are nothing but marketing for the big pharma and will happily sell their mother's souls to the devil to put a dollar in their pocket.

Vinay,

I have to hope that the die is cast. The entire lot of three letter agencies and the politicians that support them need to go. Any replacement would be better. No replacement would be best. I hope you have come to see that government is physically incapable of doing the right thing, even though you believe it should be able to do so. No government in the history of the world has shown that it can -- it is just a fantasy.

Local, informed populace is about as well as we can do. There has been an enormous struggle to keep this from happening, but it is, perhaps, all that can save us.

Wondering if they did anything right. After a few weeks of uncertainty two views emerged. The first, stop everything until we become safe was adopted. The second, protect the vulnerable and let everything else return to normal had to be discredited and censored. Following unelected bureaucrats ruling while censoring other voices should never be repeated.

Do not understand why he still has his job.

Physicians are largely ignorant, don’t look at evidence, don’t know how to interpret it anyway. They believe what they’re told from on high. The least skeptical profession in the world?

Got any idea why cdc is claiming vaccinated are 18.6 X less likely to die than unvaccinated? That’s what my medical board claimed in an email reporting the CVA signal. But navigating the CDC website is torture. I can’t tell how they arrived at that number. Can anyone out there more research inclined help?
