@BrianTamakiNZ It's not what they thought might happen.
It's what they hoped would happen is the point of the exercise.

One of the most thought provoking speeches I've seen in a while.

@Miss_Snuffy on how raising a generation to see the world through oppressors and the oppressed is changing the West.

@curryja Thank you Dr Curry for everything you have done.
Your articles and posts have helped me see that there was hope in the face of this battle against climate hysteria.
Unfortunately in New Zealand our politicians and bureaucrats are still locked in to Net zero and cow farts.

I want @nzfirst leader @winstonpeters to be the Prime Minister of New Zealand. Not because he's perfect. But because he isn't pretending to be perfect. We've had one of them recently. An imposter at the podium. Job #1 in 2023 was to get her out. Job #1 this year is to wipe her legacies from our culture. The current guy isn't anything more than a talking head right now, with little connectivity to what makes this country great. We're not an economy or a debt or a migrant dumping ground. We aren't governed by other nations decisions and ineptitude. Our culture is unique, not a melting pot. Our land is best managed by those who understand how it is worked, not how it's distributed. The Red/Blue dichotomy has held us back. Time for a sea change.
Let's do that.

Why is it only pushed in the West?

[Kenny Carmody @KennyCarmody]

COVID changed something in me that cannot be unchanged.

Not the virus. Not even the mandates. What changed it permanently was watching every government on earth arrive at the same silence, at the same moment, and hold it for six years running.

Nearly six years since the rollout began. Not one head of state has stood before their people and said: some of you were harmed, we know it, and you deserve an honest accounting. Not one parliamentary inquiry with genuine authority. Not one compensation framework built on the actual scale of injury. The vaccine injured remain without diagnostic codes in most countries. Without legal recourse. Without the most basic institutional acknowledgment that what happened to their bodies was real.

This is what accountable institutions do after genuine public health emergencies. They review. They audit. They ask who was harmed and how. They produce findings that are uncomfortable because the discomfort is the point. The discomfort is how trust gets rebuilt.

What we have instead is a wall. And behind the wall, people who lost careers for raising questions that turned out to be legitimate. People who watched their governments promote Long COVID with full institutional weight while refusing to ask a single honest question about overlapping presentations in the vaccine injured. The same symptoms. The same mechanisms proposed in the literature. The convenient frame that points in every direction except at the product.

The coordination is what tells you the most. Individual negligence looks different. It is patchy. It is inconsistent. Individual negligence produces whistleblowers, outliers, one government that breaks from the rest because the political cost of silence finally exceeds the cost of honesty.

What we have is not that. What we have is universal. And universality of this kind does not emerge from independent actors independently deciding to do nothing. It is decided.

There is a particular cruelty in what this does to the injured. It is not just that they are uncompensated. It is that the silence communicates something to them about their value. That they were considered acceptable losses before the fact, and inconvenient liabilities after it. That the calculus was made, and they lost. The psychological cost of that message, delivered not once but every single day through continued institutional indifference, is its own injury layered on top of the physical one.

The children absorb this too. They are watching their parents fight for recognition against institutions that will not move. They are learning what governments actually mean when they say they will protect them. They are developing a relationship with authority that no civics class will be able to undo.

The universal silence of world leaders on vaccine injury is not the behaviour of people managing an honest disagreement about evidence.

It is the behaviour of people who have made a collective calculation that the cost of telling the truth now exceeds the cost of never telling it.

And that calculation, held simultaneously, across every major government on earth, is the most important public health finding of the last six years.

Not what the virus did. Not even what the vaccines did.

What the silence, together, reveals about who was making decisions, and who they were making them for.

[Milton Friedman Quotes @MiltonFriedmanW]

Milton Friedman on 4 ways to spend money:

1) Your money on yourself (you’re careful about both cost and quality)
2) Your money on others (you care about cost, less about quality)
3) Someone else’s money on yourself (you care about quality, not cost)
4) Someone else’s money on others (you care about neither)

The last one is how government spending works.

"Propagandists in the classroom are a luxury that the poor can afford least of all. While a mastery of Mathematics and English can be a ticket out of poverty, a highly cultivated sense of grievance and resentment is not." - Thomas Sowell

“Much of the social history of the Western world over the past three decades has involved replacing what worked with what sounded good.”

"What 'multiculturalism' boils down to is that you can praise any culture in the world except Western culture, and you cannot blame any culture in the world except Western culture."

[Sowell Economics @sowelleconomics]

Thomas Sowell reminds us of Milton Friedman's lesson: a system of profit and loss forces correction. Losses signal failure, they push people to stop doing what doesn’t work and redirect resources toward what does.

[Sowell Economics @sowelleconomics]

"Intellectuals have a great tendency to see poverty as a great moral problem to which they have a solution. The human race began in poverty, so there is no mysterious explanation as to why some people are poor, the question is, why have some people gotten prosperous."
