...and that would have been the smart thing to do." SAGE HANA's substack article is reference; Weinstein was wrong as i)no economy to emerge to ii)selective pressure placed due to NPI drives mutants
I would be surprised if Weinstein stood by those comments now. He and his wife have admitted they were wrong about a whole lot early on, and that is key, that they admit they were wrong. Something that Trump has never done. By this logic of condemning Weinstein, why would you not also condemn Trump. Trump still claims that Cuomo handled Covid better than DeSantis…
good...nice to hear this too...can you send me some things...so much to read.
I have condemned Trump...please read my work...saying he is the best hope among all the worst people, the best of the worst and blaming him for the lockdowns and vaccine...go read my work...
Another absolute must-watch 15 min clip. Neil Oliver on Bret’s DarkHorse podcast on www.Odysee.com
Most intellectual yet basic explanation that will help you understand “why” you didn’t accept this “vaccine” from the get-go. And reaffirm how right you (we) were just by following our gut!
To be fair, a lot of people got things wrong and later recognized they were wrong and corrected themselves. I remember Peter McCullough rather adamantly saying that if you had been infected you would not catch it a second time. I think some people did catch it a second time, and of course many previously infected people caught subsequent variants. So we should qualify any disparagement of incorrect claims with verified updates of whether and when the claim was later repudiated.
true...but he was wrong. we were right. see my writings 3 years ago with others...and McCullough argued based on bread and butter immunology and virology, they phucked something up here...this is not behaving normally...
We don't even know what people caught. It could have been a cold virus, flu, or bioengineered weapon. So, you can't trust anyone at this point. Use common sense and follow people who don't benefit from this plandemic.
Valid point about what caused any flu-like illness. However common sense has to tempered by the recognition that commonly accepted understandings are usually simplistic and do not accommodate special cases. For example, common understanding is once recovered from a communicable infection you are immune to a second occurrence. This is obviously not true in every case. 'Immunity' simply means that prior exposure has resulted in 'memory' cells which, possibly in conjunction with residual antibodies) enables your body to respond to a subsequent exposure more quickly, to the point that the new infection is subclinical, ie you don't even notice because the pathogen was dealt with more quickly than on that very first exposure. Now, if you are immune-compromised, perhaps you will not resist a second or subsequent exposure as effectively. Another example is infection in a cut or other wound. The infection may be controlled by your immune system on one occasion, but on a different occasion, depending on the location and quantum of pathogen, the infection may result in sepsis, despite the body having been exposed to the particular pathogens before.
BTW on the question of immune-compromised individuals, you have to wonder about the logic of those who claim that such people have a greater need for prophylactic vaccination. Surely one has to evaluate the particulars before making any such generalization.
And speaking of generalizations, some may say that plandemic skeptics who have blogs or substacks etc, are 'benefiting'. So I would not agree with unqualified advice to follow only those who don't benefit from the plandemic. Rather, examine their motivation and the content.
Yes, and it totally creeps me out to hear my now-13-year-old UK granddaughter speak of 'during lockdown'. Edit: speaking casually of 'during lockdown'.
Walked around the neighborhood today (catching those sunbeams!), waved to an oncoming car of neighbors: both, inside their car, masked. Indian. Eye doctor.
IF YOU DO NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS MILITARY LETTER ADDRESSED TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU SIGN, SHARE AND PASS IT AROUND TO EVERY LIVING AMERICAN!
AND IF YOU SAY “IT WON’T DO ANYTHING” OR ANY NEGATIVITY THEN KEEP THAT S**T TO YOURSELF! I GET TIRED OF HEARING IT!
This is just a general comment/observation Doctor.
You recently put out a sub stack in which you said one doesn't have to believe everything one reads,as long as one just reads it.That is true.That's why I repost most of your articles,as believe they merit the attention of others to ruminate on and digest as they will.You will notice I used the word"most".The ones I do not repost are those you are having "issues"with,especially Dr.Malone and Dr.Kory.I won't debate or get into an argument about the validity of your remarks,as you obviously have something important to impart.But to me this is pure infighting,no more,no less.We all here are warriors for the truth.God knows I've done my part and continue to fight against those that would suppress and distort the truth and our freedoms over the last four years.But what we don't need is sniping at each other like animals.We need to stand as one,because the establishment is looking to exploit our weaknesses at every turn; using the old divide and conquer strategy. It's your right to continue on and tell everyone how badly this and that person is doing.But for me Dr.Malone/Dr.Kory were there at the start,and despite what faux pauxs they have committed,I still consider them on the right side of things.I would appeal to you to save those slings and arrows for those who really deserve it and after all this is over,then hurtle your best at these folks.But for now let's stand hand in hand and fight this "Goliath"together.
With respect,thank you for what you've done and continue to do.
Agreed, and Bret would agree with you today also. The article you reference however seems to be casting doubt on Bret's intention, which I vehemently disagree with. Thanks for all your amazing research Dr Alexander.
I vehemently disagree as well. Bret (and his wife Heather) have come A LOOONG WAY. I’d venture to say almost all the way! (Whatever exactly that is!).
Anyone can watch their Dark Horse podcast on Odysee.com (cuz they got demonetized a couple years ago off of YouTube for telling too many truths!!). There are clips that can be watched or full podcasts. TRULY EXCELLENT both of them being evolutionary biologists.
Dr. Alexander, I truly hope you will take the time to watch their videos and then please post an update on Bret. He is too important in this fight to lose him through “misinformation” about him.
Awesome. Thanks for the link. I haven't seen it yet. Yes, both Heather and Bret have been such an incredible voice in the freedom movement. I am so grateful for this community.
Interesting how the scum always rises to the top. Any REAL virologist screaming from the rooftops that herd immunity only comes from the HERD getting together, was silenced and their reputation pulverized.. People still think a vaccine creates herd immunity. It doesn't create complete immunity to anything...
People that believe in vaccinations are in a CULT. You can't reason with them or teach them anything. They would just assume shoot you dead as listen to your opinion. Facts be damned!. This is more than mass formation. It is complete brainwashing....nothing gets in...nothing of interest comes out. Imo
I remember listening to Bret and Heather early in the pandemic. He spoke if how he would come home, strip off all his clothes in the garage, throw them in the washer and then jump in the shower. I thought to myself that is this VIRUS was that contagious and eaily spread around - there was no way society could keep up Brett's measures- or any measures to stay on top of it. And if the VIRUS was that deadly - well, we might as well just carry on as per normal. As it turns out - you are NEVER going to control a virus to any great degree - and this VIRUS was going to kill the USUAL SUSPECTS in any case.
I do not have any post secondary education and I was really surprised at the effort Bret and Heather were attempting. Bret and Heather are so well educated and informed, yet this is what they thought.
I really don't understand how we have lost the capacity to comprehend that good people make errors. My experience is that people have certain epistemologies, which means how one comes to know what one knows. People have very different presuppositions which form the basis of the paradigm or belief system through which they understand the world, and they confer authority to sources based on their education and experience. People with common sense and intuition did far far better than most of the educated. Common sense people and highly educated epidemiologists, virologists, microbiologists, and conservatives, in general did far far better when this all began. Other people were trusting the wrong sources and didn't have a clue ---and this isn't an accident as it was a psyop --that the sources they rely on have become corrupted and captured. This is a major error, but not an evil or nefarious error, or part of a deception,necessarily. So all of you who saw it were superior to all of us that didn't. You win, and probably you win in ways that the recently red-pilled wish they were winning in as they took the vaccines. But where does that get any of this? They are still pushing this poison, using psyops, on Africa, on the poor, on the elderly, on people in care settings. Isn't that what matters? Not who was better than anyone else? Wouldn't you rather have someone who can admit their failings and change their mind? I didn't see it until Dr. Kory went on Dark Horse---total epiphany. I have highly educated friends who still send me articles on how the Nobel went to mrna to prove to me that I"ve gone down a rabbit hole. The whole gone-down-a-rabbit-hole psyop for those still blue-pilled is coming from many sources including Wapo and NYT. It is like the Moonies or Jim Jones trying to keep people in the fold. Error, the poet Roger Sauls writes, is the lyric form of knowledge.
I do not think about this in terms of winning or superiority. Truth be told, I am absolutely sick about what has happened - for everyone. Most people I love went along with this despite my attempts to warn them. And who can blame them? All trusted authorities were in agreement, and what credentials did I have to refute their findings? NONE. But somehow I could see that something was very wrong. There was a spirit that felt very anti human. All of it - lock downs, masks, 6 foot distancing, mandated medical procedures. It was cruel and I could see that it was unlikely to help. I guess you could say that I was simply astounded that people that are far more educated and far more intelligent than I could not see it.
While I was in the first group of sensing that this was all terribly wrong, and therefore was willing to lose my career of 35 years over this forced mandate (it was TERRIFYING!), I still absolutely agree that we must bring as many along with us as our willing to see.
This in my opinion was some type of weird psy-op…a word I did not know before 2020…but it certainly was not normal, and my gut told me this. More are understanding this now, and we must have the humility to bring them along, as they start to see as we did. Step by step.
To those who were outright horrific to us (those in “authority” or in media)...that is a different story…but to the average person who just wasn’t told or didn’t see the information, I believe we must welcome them into the fold as quickly as possible, as things are about to get worse if we do not stop The WHO!
Bret Weinstein is also heavily tied to the intelligence community and has zero credibility. His rise was and is, a IC created force of controlled opposition.
Thank you so much for this, Cynthia! There is the longer version of this video on Rumble. I would have found it there soon enough as I follow Tucker Carlson there… A few different accounts so try to follow the one with his videos posted. I also periodically put in different peoples names in case I’m missing anything. Like Naomi Wolf.
I highly recommend always first looking for videos on Rumble or if you find them on YouTube, put the name of the video or the people speaking into their search engine and watch it there.
YouTube is part of who kept the important information away from people and are continuing to do so! I will not watch anything there if at all possible!
About to watch the full 59 minute version with Bret and Tucker versus the YouTube 29 minute version.
Bret is wrong in my view in his incompleteness. I do not advocate for lockdowns and have one of the very few peer-review analyses of their total cost. Theoretically, at the start, we could have slowed the roll to far less than the at-peak typical 3% infection rate per day. My early models told me (april 2020?) that an initial total lock-down - 30 days - not more - followed by truly informed EFFECTIVE AND ACCURATE testing and suspected exposure self-quarantine, mass distribution of effective antivirals, and an effective vaccine could cause a very, very slow roll (for the sake of theoretical completeness - NOT ADVOCACY OF LOCKDOWNS) - but we did not have 3/3 of the control elements. Fauci et al. acted like they did. I say in theory because clearly a slow roll was only to protect the cowards in the hospitals. So to have deleted cowards from hospitals is a must then society can see the protecting those at most risk made the most sense. also, #THEBROWNSTEINPROTOCOL Also, it's easy to blame people trying to pick up the pieces. I found mccullough and kory early on looking for people who knew anything about antivirals. For me, it all started with selenium in a discussion on facebook. We need people like me and paul as the eye and ears watching the decision makers as they bumble through complex issues. I knew the virus would become endemic, it was just a matter of who do we pick to carry the morbidity and the mortality. Brownstein and his team showed up. hospitals clammed up for 3 mos. COWARDS.
Agreed. The virus was bound the become endemic given its R-naught value. However, my models told me a combination of effective control factors included tests that actually worked, informed self-quarantine, and mass use of antivirals upon suspicion of exposure COULD have initially driven the infection rate (New cases per day) to far less than 3%. One of factors was an effective vaccine. That never happened. caveat. If that was ever a worthy goal to slow the pace, which clearly it was not. Protecting those at highest risk and keeping the rest of society thriving... and deleting cowards from the hospitals ... would have been the most humane through. Also... #TheBrownsteinProtocol
At the time i was modeling, i had no idea. I ran the models with hypothetical interventions. All roads led to endemism. The best I could do was a very low constant buzz - and those models had a 30-day lockdown and 60-70% coverage with three interventions. It never could have been contained.
I would be surprised if Weinstein stood by those comments now. He and his wife have admitted they were wrong about a whole lot early on, and that is key, that they admit they were wrong. Something that Trump has never done. By this logic of condemning Weinstein, why would you not also condemn Trump. Trump still claims that Cuomo handled Covid better than DeSantis…

This is EXCEPTIONAL listening. Very important. Recent.
This does not represent Bret's position at all. Please contact him directly for his positions instead of repeating others. Very disappointing.
I can't believe we are not already half way through Nuremberg 2.0 Trials by now on Cable Television.
To be fair, a lot of people got things wrong and later recognized they were wrong and corrected themselves.

boom
Covid is a bioweapon created by the US government.
True whether biological, chemical or psychological.
Combination of all three.
Yeah probably forgot an ‘and’

No one knows if someone caught something more than one time. People got sick more than once. With what? COVID? Based on what? A fake test?
I used to catch a cold twice in each year. For decades. A cold is a corona virus, no?
Lockdown is a prison term.
Yes, and it totally creeps me out to hear my now-13-year-old UK granddaughter speak of 'during lockdown'. Edit: speaking casually of 'during lockdown'.
Everywhere I go, I am noticing more masking in the past few weeks. Luckily no one is asking, let alone demanding, that I wear one.
Walked around the neighborhood today (catching those sunbeams!), waved to an oncoming car of neighbors: both, inside their car, masked. Indian. Eye doctor.
So a pessimistic optometrist as opposed to an optimist.
Nice.
