This scene from White Lotus is very poignant. It perfectly captures every progressive person that I know especially academics. It is unthinkable to them that a person might not share their political orientations.
COVID interventions can’t be “re-litigated” because they were never actually litigated in the first place.
They weren’t chosen on their merits. There was no vetting process. No discovery, no depositions, no meaningful back-and-forth between experts, no review of evidence from both sides—just the rapid rollout of clearly contraindicated “mitigation”measures that carried obvious and foreseeable harms.
To round out the legal metaphor, the whole thing was a kangaroo court.
“Interventions” were imposed, mandated, and moralized into being. And people who questioned them were discredited, dismissed, and outright silenced.
Which brings us to now.
Any reasonably intelligent person acting in good faith should welcome a clear accounting of how some of the most damaging public policies in modern history came to be. Figuring that out is how we prevent it from happening again.
Shutting your eyes and plugging your ears, however, is a defensive posture.
There are a lot of people, like Harrison, who don’t want to grapple with how egregiously thoughtless and wrong they might have been—or who they may have harmed — or what that implies about who they are as human beings.
But that’s not a reason to avoid the conversation. People were hurt and killed by those un-litigated policies. A lot of them. And they deserve answers.
If Harrison is “exhausted,” he should probably go take a nap. Because the critical mass of people whose lives and livelihoods were trampled aren’t going to stop asking how and why just so he can safeguard his intellectual and moral identity.
This is an interesting interview. Neither of them has a scientific background, yet both are rock-solid convinced they’re right. How is that possible?
Well, you’ve got those who suffer from intellectual laziness and just blindly lean on big names, famous institutes or organisations, and data that looks convincing at first glance, like ´protection against severe disease’ -which, on closer inspection and over the longer term, turns out to be one of the most alarming ‘side effects’ of the C-19 mass vaccination as it got triggered by vaccine-induced immune refocusing.
In contrast to the people who almost instinctively felt something was smelling fishy off from the start and, therefore, did their own research, the first group simply continues to repeat whatever mainstream brainwash is being served up that day. The emptier the brain, the more arrogant the argument tends to sound.
The second group is a small minority. I feel lucky to have got to know many of them and even to count some as friends. They’re the real intellectual elite. These are the people who, despite having zero formal biological or scientific training, refused to settle for the naïve barking of the MSM. They did their own research, weighed the conflicting opinions, hit us with a steady stream of common-sense questions, joined the courses and seminars we ran, and wouldn’t rest until they’d acquired enough knowledge to puncture the MSM’s veil of mysterious, contradictory, or outright ridiculous claims.
I have a lot of admiration for them. RFK Jr. is one of them.
And when -just once in a while- an actual debate between the two groups does take place (something that has been systematically denied to us), it very quickly becomes obvious who knows what he’s talking about and who’s just the ape copying all the other apes.
The most striking part is still that D. Bash is so breathtakingly stupid that she apparently thought she could checkmate someone as thoroughly trained and deeply steeped in the subject as RFK Jr. with a handful of arrogant cliché questions and copy-paste statements.
I was one of the very first people in the USA to figure out the lab leak. I'm not bragging, and there are famous people who will vouch for this.
A better question is why a rocket scientist professor at a state university was able to figure this out. The answer? I had worked with most of the agencies at least one time in my career, and understood their dynamics when they lie. And I spoke Mandarin. Those three things.
There are no papers published ANYWHERE (to my knowledge) on how specific agencies lie. You have to gain this knowledge on your own, through interactions. And once you know, you can't publish (for example) how DARPA lies. Or NIH. Or some such icks. Or you'll NEVER work again.
Why is it that we have such little knowledge of obvious, repetitive patterns, to these organs of government we literally entrust billions of dollars to? As well as things in the national interest? Why is there no discussion?
Look -- I'm a smart guy. I know that. But I'm not the ONLY smart guy. And I'm not THAT SMART. Maybe we might do better if we start by discussing what 'transparency' really means. Or we simply cannot fix the problems the pandemic unearthed.
And we're doomed to repeat the mistakes we've already made -- which directly contributed MASSIVELY to human suffering.
Fauci in 2022: “I am very happy to testify before any congressional oversight committee.
I have nothing to hide. I can explain and validate everything that I’ve done.
I’m going to do what I need to do, and that is cooperate fully, because we have nothing to hide at all.”
It just feels like the Democrat party is a criminal organization right now. Just a large money laundering operation created to usher in something truly dark that was allowed to grow for too long. Just a bunch of scammers hiding under the guise of civil rights and social justice. I think it’s time for us to be honest about that and realize they will be the downfall of our nation if we don’t wake up and stop falling for their game.
Harvard circa 1700s:
"No student shall be admitted unless they can translate Greek and Latin authors such as Tully, Virgil, The New-Testament, & Xenophon."
Harvard circa 2026:
"We can't assign whole novels anymore."
now take this information and flip it. constantly pointing out the things you are grateful for can train your brain to notice more things to be grateful for. constantly noticing abundance will train your brain to notice even more abundance. flip the script & stay in control.
Scientific journals should provide scientific articles. They should not be endorsing anyone for any office from any party. Such endorsements for either side can do nothing but harm their credibility.
No, ClayTravis. Extensive searches of sports media (ESPN, Sports Illustrated, Fox Sports, etc.) turn up zero articles criticizing any champion team for accepting a congratulatory call or White House visit from Obama, Clinton, or Biden. Those were standard, positive or neutral events. The pattern of scrutiny for Republican presidents doesn't have a Democratic counterpart.
Just so I'm clear, the guy who went on camera and told America "I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Ms. Lewinsky" is the same guy testifying before a House Oversight Committee today that he did not have sexual relations with any of Epstein's underage sex slaves?
Scientific journals like Lancet and Nature, which endorsed Joe Biden for president, are not trustworthy sources to comment on reforms in public health. They traded science for politics, and have not altered course since.

The Lancet published the fake Surgisphere paper and embraced the Covid origins cover up. Sec. Kennedy is fixing the mess they helped make.
