Until people understand there’s a multi sector industry commercially invested in & monetarily rewarded for the proliferation of fear, the pandemic never ends Bureaucrats, politicians, media/press, some sectors of healthcare, huge e-com retailers etc There’s no life without risk

Sal Grover’s case exposes a profound contradiction: if women cannot lawfully define a “women only” space, then what exactly remains of women’s sex based rights? The supreme paradox is modern leftist feminism has done more to erode women’s protections than any conservatives, ever
According to Australian law if you can accurately identify who is male and who is female in these photos you’re in trouble.

Lockdowns were grotesque abuse of public power. Never forget what was done.
A small group of us made our reasonable concerns on lockdown costs clear at the time - we were labelled as murderers and 'COVID deniers'. It is becoming overwhelmingly obvious that lockdowns will take far more life years than they saved - I believe harm caused by delays in cancer diagnosis/treatment alone will outweigh those 'saved' by lockdown in terms of life years lost. It decimated our economy, ruining the life chances of countless children. All of this costing hundreds of billions. Just think how that money could have been spent instead? We destroyed the country, paying vast amounts to do so. The poisonous debate did its job. I personally know many scientists who saw the vitriol, and understandably didn't want the same. For personal, financial and professional reasons. The lack of a free and open debate during lockdown killed thousands, and punished millions. I hope those responsible are sufficiently ashamed. Lockdown was an appalling error, driven by media hysteria and never subjected to any proper level of scrutiny. The greatest Government policy mistake in my lifetime, without a doubt. telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/03…

It’s so important that learned & credible voices like Dr Bhattacharya keep exposing the grave errors of public policy during the pandemic. People want to forget & move on, to sweep it all under the carpet. That cannot happen. These were grievous actions, often made in bad faith
Consider that "public health" may have caused the pandemic, instituted lockdowns that decimated children, the poor, & the working class, told "noble" lies, and violated basic civil liberties at scale. Humility, contrition, and reform are in order. Not whatever this👇is.

A very important thread 🧵
.@moderna_tx bankrolled the Orwellian "Public Goods Project" aimed at defaming mRNA vax critics. @lhfang reports that the company targeted me for tweeting a preprint by @US_FDA affiliated scientists that showed elevated seizure and myocarditis levels in kids after vax. 1/5

I’ve stayed in the financial district 5 times this year. Was shocked when I couldn’t buy a toothbrush in a Walgreens without pressing a button and waiting for a staff member to unlock it. Seems petty crime is encouraged and effectively rewarded?
I am extremely disturbed by what I witnessed in Lower Manhattan last night. I lived on Wall Street for years - directly across from The NYSE. Last night - I went to grab a few items at Rite Aid - only to find out that almost everything was behind a lock. I asked an employee how often things are stolen from the store. He said - every day. Numerous times a day. I was shocked. Next - the employee told me that even when they catch a criminal - they can’t do anything - unless the criminal is a repeat offender at the location. When they do take action - the offender is let out almost instantly - only to start stealing from the store all over again. I have no words for what I see happening to this city that I no longer recognize. Before I left the store - he said this: “They give the criminals more power than the workers.” New York City is completely out of control. Why are we empowering criminals?

What little trust left in public institutions has been destroyed since March 2020. The lies we were told are simply breathtaking
Deborah Birx from her memoir, explaining how "two weeks to flatten the curve" was just marketing for harsh, months-long lockdowns that she was really planning: "On Monday and Tuesday [March 9th and 10th, 2020]…we worked simultaneously to develop the flatten-the-curve guidance I hoped to present to the vice president at week’s end. Getting buy-in on the simple mitigation measures every American could take was just the first step leading to longer and more aggressive interventions. We had to make these palatable to the administration by avoiding the obvious appearance of a full Italian lockdown. … No sooner had we convinced the Trump administration to implement our version of a two-week shutdown than I was trying to figure out how to extend it. Fifteen Days to Slow the Spread was a start, but I knew it would be just that. I didn’t have the numbers in front of me yet to make the case for extending it longer, but I had two weeks to get them."
