One in October, one in January, and two now in February. Why? Because I fail to meet some ethereal community standards, none of which they explain. It's simply a corrupt ploy at censorship by the hired help, and I'm guessing with values that are antithetical to everything that's sound for America. I keep protesting their decisions for trashing these pieces, all of which now appear below. So, tell me what possible community standard could I be violating? Is it possible some at Blogger hates the concept of truth, justice and the American way?
Interestingly I republished some of these in a different Blogger account and no one seemed to think there were an violations of their sacrosanct "Community Standards". So, it appears I have a personal censor for P&D at Blogger, and Blogger needs to give someone there a serious attitude adjustment.
October 12, 2024 P&D and the Week That Was
By Rich Kozlovich
Normally I don't add video's to my P&D monologues but I really
consider this "one of the essentials", because all we know Kamala's
"rise to the middle" in California wasn't through her competence. But
this video entitled, "The Shocking Origin Story of Kamala Harris and All
the Crimes She’s Committed", not only shows she's incompetent, she's
lazy, she's corrupt, is one nasty human being, and has been so her entire career. In point of
fact, according to this video, she's violated California law in her
actions. In short...she's also a criminal. But hey, this is California,
is there any politician in California who hasn't? Probably not. This
is what she would bring to the Presidency.
- Kamala’s long history of lousy leadership is revealed in a 2002 evaluation October 12, 2024 by Andrea Widburg Whether as Vice President, Attorney General of California, or a lawyer long ago in San Francisco, Kamala consistently fails Leadership 101.......In other words, on every management attribute a leader needs—say, for example, the leader of the most powerful nation in the world—Kamala was a failing student.......Kamala was profane, abusive, unfriendly, and demanded that she be treated like royalty......Employee reviews about Kamala’s leadership style in the Vice-President’s office have been equally awful.......
Why do people keep saying, "everything will turn out for the best"? Let's stop being delusional, everything does not always turn out for the best, and we have untold thousands of years of history to show that to be true.

Biden was elected through voter fraud, and what we ended up with
was levels of corruption and incompetence America's never seen in all
the nation's history. More of which Kamala intends to double down on. How's all that working out for you?
In John Mauldin's Thoughts From the Frontline he states:
A challenge in writing a weekly letter like this is that the economy never stops. Important data keeps accumulating, whether I write about it or not. A lot happened in the last four weeks: an FOMC meeting with major policy changes, a surprising jobs report, important shifts in the bond market and yield curve, hurricanes, China, some geopolitical events, and a political race, just to start. I haven't mentioned them because I was on other, also important topics. Now it's catch-up time....... Normality is always a moving target......We do know one thing, however. The effects of 2020, 2023, the pandemic, the Fed, the inflation, everything else grow more distant with each passing day. The runway metaphor is overused but it fits: Planes can't stay in the air forever. This one will land. The question is whether we passengers will feel a hard or soft landing.
Make
no mistake, there's a massive international economic downturn coming,
Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, that axis of evil are all broke. I'll
have more on this in my next geopolitical issue.
Now all the "conspiracy theories", and "misinformation" about covid are coming home to roost, as the only misinformation was from the CDC, Pfizer, WHO, and the Biden administration, and as I predicted long ago, the long term consequences for their lies will impact humanity for decades. The false vaccines increased the risk of myocarditis in children, but somehow they felt the public didn't need to know that, and now, WHO, another vile corrupt international organization, admits monkeypox is a "side effect" of the covid vaccine. Even I didn't see that coming, and someone needs to go to jail for all of this.
Western civilization has gone completely insane. In order to protect abortionists (like those Baal worshiping priests who sacrificed babies into burning pits, they make their living by murdering the innocent unborn) Scotland has made it illegal to pray at home, declaring private residences must be considered "abortion safe zones". So now putting people in jail for silently praying outside an abortion clinic isn't sufficient, all thoughts against abortion must now be a crime, and don't you dare discuss your feelings with God over this. Scotland has forbidden it.
I do hope more people start reading the book 1984, because the only thing Eric Arthur Blair, aka, George Orwell got wrong was the time frame.
Because of the Democrat's policy of open borders, a violent criminal gang from Venezuela, all here illegally, Tren De Aragua, has been allowed to become out of control here in America by these leftist nitwits, and Kamala intends to double down on that and end all border controls. Trump on the other hand has announced “Operation Aurora” in massive move to oust foreign gangs like Tren De Aragua. And yet, if polls are to be believed, there still are Americans who are confused as to who they support?
The left hates, and wants to unleash their hate violently. That's all they have. If your a man who won't vote for Kamala, one professor wants you shot. Your outraged a the cost of food? Then your outrage is misplaced as that's nothing more than false information, and price gouging, but under no circumstances is it the fault of Biden's polices. Democrats openly despise Catholics, and according to Obama if your a man who won't vote for Kamala, you're a
racist, even it you're black, and a misogynist. It turns out the real
racist is Obama!

January 7, 2024 P&D and the Week That Was
By Rich Kozlovich
So much for the credibility of the FBI... but then again.... they gave that up years ago, and will soon be facing the consequences. However, this pandering to Muslims by all the governments of western civilization is suicidal. Muslims are destroying western civilization, and the leaders of these governments are helping them do it. You have to wonder what's wrong with these people's minds.
I read yesterday that China is experiencing an outbreak of human metapneumovirus (HMPV). Wow! Metapneumovirus....now that's really scary....Right? The symptoms include coughing, fever, nasal congestion, sore throat and shortness of breath. Okay, so maybe I missed something. Let's see if I have this right. They have a flu outbreak and so there's now a worldwide announcement?
Well, a couple of weeks ago I had the
most painful sore throat I ever had in my life, with a lot of coughing
to boot, and I'm still coughing a bit, and I was really hazy for over a
week. The world didn't even send me a get well card. Imagine that.
I wrote what I considered a very credible article on this H-1B Visa issue, and then yesterday I found out Bernie Sanders and I are in agreement, with him saying:
“Elon Musk is wrong,.......The main function of the H-1B visa program is not to hire ‘the best and the brightest,’ but rather to replace good-paying American jobs with low-wage indentured servants from abroad,” ......“The cheaper the labor they hire, the more money the billionaires make.”
I almost broke out in hives, but .... hey.... even a blind coconut can find a squirll occasionally, even if that coconut is "squirrely", and a blatantly corrupt lying hypocrite. And then it got even worse. I found out Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD),
for whom I have nothing but contempt, agrees with me about these visas,
but having gotten one thing right for once in his life doesn't give
this misfit a pass on the rest of life.
When SCOTUS shot down the Chevron ruling
I knew that was just the beginning since these agencies were not just
going to role over and say.... okay... we were out of control, and we're
really sorry, so we're repealing all those illegal regulations. It was
going to take lawsuits, and a Federal Appeals Court Strikes Down FCC Net Neutrality Rules,
saying the "Communications Commission did not have the authority to
adopt the regulations." I like it! As a result of the Loper Bright
ruling that overturned Chevron so much information has come out (stuff I
and many others have been saying for years) people are now far more
aware, and it's going to get better at many levels. (More here.)
- Voters Balked on Natural Gas Bans, but Climate Advocates Are Hoping to Withstand Court Challenges - by Kevin Killough - When a Consumer Project Safety commissioner suggested in 2023 that the federal government would consider banning gas stoves over safety concerns, it set off fierce nationwide backlash. While the Energy Department finalized stove efficiency standards, they were watered down from the original proposal and no outright ban ever materialized. No federal ban on gas stoves materialized, but climate advocates seeking to stop consumers from accessing natural gas have tried a number of state and local efforts to achieve their goals – all with similar results as that on the federal level. Despite more recent losses, they’re looking at trying some other strategies
The left is like rust, it never sleeps, and it never gives up, and it doesn't have to because they're funded to the tune of billions of dollars of dark money.
The central tenet of this secular religious movement is lying, ergo,
eternal vigilance, aligned with uncompromising resistance must be
absolute. There's no substitute for victory, and the left's lies and
machinations must be attacked and destroyed intellectually as well as
legally. And much of that must start with making their funding sources
transparent, and ending their tax free status.
On the international stage, America first is going to be the foundation principle of the Trump Doctrine, which will replace the Truman Doctrine
of unending intervention in the affairs of other nations, which was
really an extension of Woodrow Wilson's vision, which dragged America
into the WWI meat grinder that killed 40 million people, and not one
person then or now can say what that war was all about that justifying
all that blood and destruction. Well, ending that doctrine is long
overdue. No more shedding thousands of gallons of American blood and
trillions of American dollars fighting wars for irresponsible and
illogical reasons, and getting nothing in return, except wasted lives.
Let me say this, I don't care what happens to Europe. Since WWI the US/Europe relationship has been akin to an adult holding a little kid's hand to keep him from falling, but at some point you're not holding that kid up, he's dragging you down, and that's what Europe has been doing to America for over 100 years, and they've been arrogant and ungrateful about it.
They brought all their problems on themselves, and should have been left to fix those problems on their own. It's long overdue for America to let them deal with the catastrophe they've created including their energy crisis, their economic crisis, their immigration crisis, and that includes Ukraine. We have no skin in that game, and the players have been corrupt and stupid. That's not our fault, and it's not our problem to solve, let Europe fix it or not, we don't need NATO, and the UN is a vile wretched hive of scum and villainy.
Victor Davis Hanson, who I think is America's premiere historian. I've read a number of really great historians who just can't seem to tell a good story, and reading their books is a bit of a task. Hanson not only gets the history right, he turns that history into a great story, here's one of them.
Commentary: Devin Nunes Reemerges, by Victor Davis Hanson - 2024 proved to be the year of the reemergence of many once and unfairly pilloried public figures..............After January 6, 2021, the media swore that Donald Trump was supposedly washed up. He left office with a 34 percent approval rating. Over nearly the next four years, Trump would face 91 felony indictments and be liable for over $400 million in assorted fines. Now he is a reelected president. Former oppositional world leaders traipse to Mar-a-Lago to seek his approval even before his tenure begins. His erstwhile critics at home are scurrying about in disarray.................
As a result of the need to have a Speaker in place in order to make sure Trump can be sworn in as President, so Speaker Johnson won the vote in the House yesterday after only a couple of votes, and now he will have to watch his behavior, because the conservatives most certainly will. They have his number, and there could be another rebellion, and nine Republicans have made it clear, they have the votes to "vacate".
I have nine commentaries of my own, and twenty five from other writers, and I hope you will find them all worthy of your attention. I'm adding one link here, an article by Andrea Widburg of American Thinker because I think it's extremely important.
Since the Muslim rape and grooming gangs of the UK have been written about in America, that's a story that's well known here. In the UK, not so much....until now..... and people are arrested for making these crimes public.
I've
said harsh things about Elon Musk, and I don't take one word back, but
you gotta give credit where credit is due, and he's managed to break
through the lock the Brits have on information with his "X" site
exposing the horrors these Muslims have perpetrated on these poor
innocent young girls, and have done so for many years, with the UK
judiciary, the police, and both the Tories and the Labour governments
having been a party to all of this. Someone needs to be held
accountable.
Will Elon Musk bring down the British government over the grooming gang cover-up? - January 3, 2025 by Andrea Widburg - By revealing facts to the British people, he may be responsible for bringing down the Labour Party and making Nigel Farage the UK’s new Prime Minister.....My X feed suddenly started featuring posts about the infamous and utterly heinous story that Muslim rape gangs in Northern England had, for more than three decades (from the late 1970s to 2013), exploited hundreds of thousands of British children. Worse, they were enabled by British police and politicians afraid of “inflaming tensions” with the Muslim population.......
Let's try and get this right. Islam isn't a religion, it's a criminal political movement masquerading as a religion, and all these vile things Muslims perpetrate against "infidels" is perfectly acceptable and encouraged in the Koran.
Have a good weekend, and best wishes,
Rich

February 4, 2025 Cautiously Optimistic
By Rob Pue @ Wisconsin Christian News
I have to admit that I’m a skeptic when it comes to politicians and their promises. I don’t trust the government to have our best interests in mind. The Federal Beast in DC and the swamp creatures that have taken over our nation are not our friends, our representatives or our public servants. DC is a cesspool of corruption, shady backroom deals and dirty money.
But I must say I’ve been encouraged by Donald Trump’s first couple of weeks back in office. He’s done more positive things for America in a couple weeks than Biden, Harris and Obama ever did in their entire careers. Of course, the Leftists I just mentioned have a different agenda and a different vision for America. Their stated goal was to “build back better,” but of course, in order to do that, they first had to tear down and burn down our nation as much as possible. And what they consider “better” is actually a perpetual nightmare for us citizens, and a one-way ticket to all-out communism and dictatorial control.
As I’ve said before, if something is a good idea, and a real positive thing, people will flock to it on their own. If something is, in fact, a burden, an affliction, a hindrance, a punishment and a nightmare, then it needs to be forced upon us. Obamacare. Forced to buy something you don’t want, that doesn’t benefit you and that costs a fortune, or be penalized for refusing. The jab. “Take the jab or lose your job.” The Green New Deal. No more gas stoves, everything electric, including the car you drive. Mandatory. Forced upon us, whether we like it or not.
If Obamacare was what it was sold to us as: “If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor;” “Cheaper than your monthly cell phone bill,” etc., then people would have loved it. I remember when Obamacare took effect. Our family had a wonderful health insurance policy that cost us around $400 a month. Then we got the letter from our insurance provider. Effective the first of the year, our new premium would be $1600 a month, and our deductible would increase to $12,000. Pay the bill or pay a penalty on your income tax return. Your choice. We took the penalty. Because there was no way we could afford what amounted to more than a whole new mortgage on a whole new home.
The jab. At first, they coerced people into taking it, calling it “safe and effective.” But of course, if you got the jab, it wouldn’t work unless I got the jab too. We later learned, as Big Pharma confessed, it was not effective...it didn’t stop the spread of any virus, and though they still try their best to hide the data, we now know it wasn’t safe either. In fact, it’s been the cause of millions of hideous deaths and life-long injuries. Blood clots were pulled from dead bodies by morticians who never saw anything like it before. They described the clots as “window caulk” and “liquid nails.”
We saw young people who’d been jabbed dying of sudden heart attacks. “Turbo cancers” rose to levels we’ve never seen before, as life insurance companies struggled to keep up with the death rate, and millions of people just “died suddenly,” after taking the jabs.
But our Federal government forced this upon us and many lost their jobs because they refused to be lab rats for Fauci. Others went along because they couldn’t risk losing their jobs, and soon after, they lost their lives.
Not to mention the hospital mandates, forced upon us, once again, by the Federal government. The only allowable treatment for COVID was Remdesivir — a bioweapon that literally melted internal organs. They knew this would be the outcome, but free speech was so stifled, we couldn’t even post alternative remedies to COVID on social media — Vitamin C, Zinc, Vitamin D3 — all “disinformation.” Ivermectin was called “horse paste,” and that, along with HCQ — proven by multiple doctors around the world to dramatically cure patients of COVID quickly — were forbidden. Pharmacies refused to fill those prescriptions, and many doctors who advocated for them lost their licenses.
Let’s not forget that. Nor should we forget the Green New Deal...shutting down our energy resources in favor of all-electric everything. Never mind that you need to burn something in order to create electricity. It was all a money-making scam, and hopefully most people understand that now.
It seems like a new day in America now. I’m grateful to President Trump for pardoning the J6 political prisoners...hunted down and persecuted by a weaponized DOJ and FBI. And while our FBI lied about the infamous Hunter Biden laptop, loaded with damning evidence of crimes committed by the sitting president and his family, they relentlessly pursued all those who rallied in DC to question an obviously stolen election.
Most of those arrested and imprisoned never broke any law, but that made no difference to the Biden administration’s so-called “Justice system.” You could be charged with a felony just for holding a flag at the rally. Radical Leftist judges would offer “plea deals” — meaning you would plead guilty and get a lesser sentence. Those who refused to take the deal were aggressively prosecuted. A pastor friend of mine, who simply preached to the crowd on January 6, was sentenced to thirty years in prison. He never even entered the capital building. This was our nation just a few weeks ago.
On his first day in office, Trump pardoned all those J6 hostages — including those who had been hunted down and jailed but not yet charged. Today, they’ve all been released. But through their ordeals, many incurred huge legal fees while trying to fight for fair trials. Many lost their homes, their jobs — and some have lost their lives.
Trump also declared a national emergency at our southern border and ended so-called “sanctuary cities” across America. Approximately 10,000 troops have been sent to the border to assist the border patrol. Gangs of illegals are now being deported back to their home countries. We need all criminal illegals to be sent back where they came from, and others to become American citizens legally — learning our history and taking an oath to become Americans. But what a totally unnecessary expense. Not only have taxpayers beared the burden of bringing these illegals here in the first place — some with direct flights from their home countries, and then providing them with free food, housing, healthcare and more — but now we have to bear the financial burden of sending them back.
In his first days in office, Trump also cut the size of the federal workforce, ended federal “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion” programs and declared there are only two genders: male and female. Not 72, only two. What a concept!
It seems DEI is on its last legs, as even major corporations are stepping away now from kowtowing to the LGBTQP+ and “trans” agendas. Target stores, in particular, have announced they are ending their association with the Human Rights Campaign, an organization that shames companies into supporting these degenerate causes. Target, you may recall, was the first to implement the “transgender” restroom policies and last summer, promoted “trans” clothing, including swimwear, for children. For me, it’s too little, too late. Target hasn’t gotten one cent from me in years and never will again.
Trump also removed us from the Climate Change nonsense, by withdrawing the US from the Paris Climate Agreement. And we’re withdrawing from the World Health Organization, which has been poised to implement global control of sovereign nations.
And at the end of his first week, Trump visited North Carolina, devastated by Hurricane Helene in September. Many people there are still living in tents, in the middle of winter. The majority of helpful support residents there received was from individuals who volunteered their time and talents to help with cleanup, emergency supplies and temporary housing. FEMA’s efforts can only be described as a colossal failure. Months after the devastation, thousands who applied for FEMA aid are still waiting for something — anything — and many have already been told they don’t qualify for any aid.
Trump has vowed to speed up the process and cut the governmental red tape that’s been holding up the recovery process there. He also visited California, which is still burning, and he pledged his support to help the fire victims there.
I should also mention Trump’s pardon of the many pro-lifers who have been jailed for simply standing in the gap for the unborn, about to be slaughtered by abortion. The previous administration hunted down pro-lifers, just as they hunted the J6ers and many went to prison. They’re now free as well. Now, a bill has been introduced in the Senate to repeal the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances act (or FACE) — the law the Biden administration used to convict 23 pro-lifers who prayed outside abortion clinics and urged women in unplanned pregnancies to choose life.
He also followed through with his promise to declassify the files on the JFK, RFK and Martin Luther King assassinations. And he has promised to release “everything.” It will be interesting to see what “everything” entails. I hope it really is everything, because then we will finally have the solid proof that our CIA orchestrated all of those killings.
And he’s halted all foreign aid, pending review, including all aid to Ukraine. Hopefully a peaceful end to this needless war will soon be coming. And he ordered the Secretary of the Interior to officially rename the Gulf of Mexico, the Gulf of America. Even Google Maps is complying with this.
It appears to be a new day in America, where our new President is truly putting Americans ahead of the interests of our enemies. I still think the Federal government has too much power. Apparently, they have the power to remove our rights and the power to restore them, if they so choose. That’s not how it’s supposed to be, and our Founders set this nation up with three branches of government to give us a system of checks and balances. It shouldn’t have to take executive orders by any president to get things done.
But Congress, I believe, will remain hopelessly lost in gridlock. Two opposing parties, fighting each other, rather than fighting for what’s right and best for our nation. Trump’s actions in his first days have been mostly encouraging, but those charged with the duty to represent us as citizens should have been doing that all along. If they had, we wouldn’t have such a disastrous train wreck to come back from. But that’s the way it is in DC, and I don’t see the Swamp changing. Too many there are making too much money, serving their own interests rather than those of the people.
I am extremely concerned though, about Trump’s big announcement regarding a massive expansion of Artificial Intelligence, or “AI.” He’s got companies investing more than a half trillion dollars to rapidly expand AI in this country, with a specific focus on our healthcare. This is dangerous stuff.
First of all, if you do some research, you’ll find that AI is truly demonic in nature. I’m sure Trump believes it’s just the next new wave of technology and he wants America to lead the way. He doesn’t understand the evil behind it. He envisions AI being able to detect pre-cancerous cells in our bodies and then be able to manufacture new mRNA vaccines — specific to each individual — within 48 hours.
Have we not learned our lesson regarding DNA-altering jabs? Or the tyranny our healthcare system will heap upon us when given the chance? Leave our DNA alone, Donald. Nothing good can come from this, but rather, I believe, it will put us on the fast track to something so evil we can’t even imagine the implications now. Yes, I think he has good intentions with this. But once again, I think he’s being manipulated, just as he was with COVID, only a million times worse.
For now, there’s much work to be done, and we can’t just sit back and leave it up to Trump to “fix it all.” Those of us who claim the name of Christ must take this opportunity to “build back better,” and by that, I mean courageously and boldly working to bring individual people, couples and families back to God and His perfect plan for mankind. If we don’t take this opportunity to return our culture to one of personal accountability and holiness — if we continue to sit back and do nothing, then our nation will remain under judgment, and things will be even worse four years from now than it’s been the last four. If you can imagine that.
February 7, 2025 Vaccines: The Good, the Bad, & the Ugly
An overview of traditional vaccines and mRNA injections
By John Droz jr. Feb 06, 2025, @ Critical Thinking About Select Societal Issues
Vaccines have become a controversial issue — partly due to RFKjr, but mostly because of the government’s vaccine policies. Here is a brief overview of this matter, from the perspective of a Scientist, not a medical professional.
The Good Old Days —
When vaccines first came out, they were only approved following rigid Scientific testing and protocols (RCTs). These studies typically took 10± years to carefully asses Safety (especially long-term) and Effectiveness. Here is the CDC's definition of vaccines they had for decades:
“A product that stimulates a person’s immune system to produce immunity to a specific disease, protecting the person from that disease.”
Not surprisingly, as time went on, pharmaceutical companies tried to reduce the high cost of developing these vaccines, as well as the time needed to get approval. Critics claimed that these amounted to shortcuts in the Scientific assessments, and lawsuits became more frequent.
NCVIA (National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act) was a major milestone in 1986. This largely indemnified Big Pharma: “With the stroke of a pen, Congress essentially abolished vaccine injury lawsuits against vaccine manufacturers…” COVID-19 precipitated another major vaccine milestone (see below)…
My outline has twelve points for you to consider about how we have gone off the rails from what was a successful traditional vaccine program. I could add more, but believe that a dozen should adequately get the message across…
Problem #1 —
Since traditional vaccines became widely used, some Big Pharma parties apparently concluded that it would be profitable to expand the bandwagon. In other words, if parents would automatically agree to get four vaccines for their child, why not make it five? Then six? How about seven?
Today (e.g., see here) there are nearly twenty different vaccines for children!
But, it’s worse! Look at the number of injections, the CDC is recommending: by the time a child is two (2) years old they will get some FORTY injections!
One does not need to be a Scientist to suspect that this situation is driven by Big Pharmaceutical profits, not the health benefits to children.
Problem #2 —
Although there was some Scientific testing regarding Safety & Effectiveness for most of these different vaccines individually, there does not seem to have been sufficient Scientific testing for these vaccines in combination.
In other words, it is well-established that there can be serious adverse reactions between two otherwise good medical treatments (vaccines, pills, etc.). Has there been adequate scientifically testing about the longterm safety effects on a two-year-old who gets some forty (40) vaccinations?
Not to my knowledge.
Problem #3 —
Why isn’t this being done by the CDC or FDA? Good question!
Why haven’t prominent medical organizations (like the AMA) made more of an issue about this clearly risky situation? Good question!
Note the AMA’s mission is stated to be: “To promote the art and science of medicine and the betterment of public health.”
Regretfully, the answer to both of these questions appears to be that these agencies and organizations are heavily influenced by Big Pharma.
What that also means is that these agencies and organizations have significantly departed from their publicized mission statements.
For example, its website boldly states: “CDC increases the health security of our nation. As the nation's health protection agency, CDC saves lives and protects people from health threats. To accomplish our mission, CDC conducts critical science and provides health information that protects our nation against expensive and dangerous health threats and responds when these arise.”
FYI, these are the same people who insisted on the necessity of COVID masks, despite 100+ studies concluding that they were unsafe and ineffective.
Problem #4 —
Then COVID-19 is dumped into this unscientific caldron.
Make a wild guess as to what “solution” that Big Pharma will tell federal politicians and government agencies that they ought to rely on for this “global medical crisis”?
Since they have government health agency approval, plus doctors’ support, plus parental compliance to give two-year-old babies some forty injections, clearly no one will object to extending this thinking to adults in an emergency!
Wait! Why not prescribe a medication instead? Reread the prior paragraph.
But shouldn't the federal healthcare policy regarding COVID-19 be what is in the best interest of American citizens? Reread “Problem #3” above.
One silver lining of COVID-19 is that this NIH Study explains how it exposed what was already going on regarding the failing US medical bureaucracy.
Problem #5 —
So our Federal health agencies supported the COVID-19 “solution” of a vaccine. However, there was a HUGE obstacle to that plan: Scientific Safety and Efficacy testing for traditional vaccines takes 10± years to do properly.
Their answer was: since we are in a “global emergency” (pandemic), the normal (i.e., Scientific) way of producing a vaccine will not work.
The solution (agreed to by government agencies who are no longer adhering to their mission statements) is to approve a new type of injection: mRNA.
Here is an outline of some of the significant technical differences between a traditional vaccine and an mRNA injection, and some of the mRNA dangers. Near the time that mRNA was being enthusiastically promoted to the public, this voice of reason spelled out realities. Years later this Study bluntly stated:
“To date [2023], there are no published studies on the biodistribution, cellular uptake, endosomal escape, translation rates, functional half-life and inactivation kinetics of synthetic mRNA, rates and duration of vaccine-induced antigen expression in different cell types.”
The justification for approving these technical changes was that mRNA injections could be developed more quickly than a traditional vaccine could.
Problem #6 —
So now that we understand that we will NOT have the same Scientific testing done on mRNA injections that has usually been done for traditional vaccines, let’s look at the Safety part, as there are several concerning differences.
For example, some studies (e.g., here and here) concluded that short-term adverse events from COVID-19 mRNA exceeded those of traditional vaccines.
That said, the most disturbing difference is that there is essentially zero mid-range and longterm safety testing of mRNA injections.
The possible negative consequences of a COVID-19 bio-chemical injection are far-reaching, and many may not be apparent for years. This study identifies eighteen (18!) pre-existing medical conditions that can lead to adverse COVID-19 injection outcomes, including death.
Here are many other medical conditions, which are mostly not tested for prior to mRNA injection approvals. This study says: “No one actually has any idea of medium- and long-term effects of COVID-19 vaccines.”
All this is due to what is marketed as a benefit: mRNA injections can be approved in a year or so, whereas traditional vaccines take 10± years.
Again, the most important part skipped in the mRNA injection approval process, is medium and long-term safety testing. That’s a VERY BIG deal!
Problem #7 —
Another serious safety concern is that pharmaceutical companies have not disclosed (to date) all of the ingredients in the mRNA injection! Their stock excuse is that this is proprietary information.
“Proprietary information” is a legitimate concern when a company has heavily invested in a product and doesn’t want a competitor to copy their product without incurring the time and cost of R&D. (Think China.)
But who are the COVID-19 competitors of Big Pharma (Pfizer, etc.)?
Further, the primary customer for 95%+ of these injections is the government — and Big Pharma already has signed contracts. So how would they be financially harmed by disclosing the contents of their mRNA injections?
Problem #8 —
Yet another serious obstacle that the powers-that-be encountered in getting the American public to accept their COVID-19 “solution,” is that the mRNA injection did not comply with the CDC’s definition of what a vaccine was!
As mentioned above, for decades the CDC's definition of a vaccine was: “A product that stimulates a person’s immune system to produce immunity to a specific disease, protecting the person from that disease.”
Their solution was simple: change the definition!
The new CDC definition of a vaccine: “A preparation that is used to stimulate the body’s immune response against diseases.”
Again the takeaway here is that mRNA injections are NOT anything like traditional vaccines, so it is a major misnomer (intended to fool the public) to call them a “vaccine.” The reality is that they are “bio-chemical injections.”
[For some additional concerns about mRNA injections see here.]
Problem #9 —
We probably could have dealt with all of the above, IF there was honest and accurate data regarding the mRNA injections, publicly available. There were two major reasons why this did not happen.
First is the inherent weakness of the voluntary VAERS data system. This Harvard study concluded that (typically) only 1% of adverse outcomes are reported through VAERS! Why wouldn't that have been fixed a long time ago?
Second is that since everyone in the medical establishment involved was laser focused on PTA (instead of Safety and Effectiveness for Americans), accurate mRNA adverse effect data was not going to happen (e.g., see this report). When there were adverse reactions to adults and children getting injected, many of those were ignored, explained away, attributed elsewhere, etc.
As a result, when one looks for data to see what really happened with COVID injections, it is misleading, woefully inadequate, etc — i.e., essentially useless.
Problem #10 —
Yet another pesky problem to the political COVID-19 “solution” was that there was increasing scientific evidence that there were alternative solutions that were: a) much less expensive, b) had few (if any) side-effects, and c) also had solid long-term safety records.
Ivermectin (IVM) is an example. See the details of some 105 scientific studies.
The FDA’s public mission statement says that they are:
“Responsible for advancing the public health by helping to speed innovations that make medical products more effective, safer, and more affordable and by helping the public get the accurate, science-based information they need to use medical products to maintain and improve their health.”
If that was anywhere near accurate, that would mean that the FDA would certainly objectively investigate such a potentially superior option, right? NO!
It would be one thing if the FDA simply ignored IVM — but instead they actually aggressively attacked it — and mocked IVM users as fools for using a “veterinary” product!
It’s stunning that the FDA would take such a stance on what is universally acknowledged as not only a medical wonder drug, (it has been documented as being antiparasitic, antibacterial, antiviral, and anticancer!), and also one of the safest pharmaceuticals in history.
To see an agonizing expose about this, watch this short powerful video.
Problem #11 —
Another stunning revelation during the COVID fiasco is that few (if any) preventative options were ever discussed as being beneficial. For example, did the CDC, the FDA, the AMA, or Dr. Fauci ever say anything like:
“Keeping yourself in good health is your first barrier to COVID-19 defense. Part of that would be to take Vitamin D, which has been shown to be a safe and inexpensive anti-viral treatment.” [Note that the study I referenced here was published in 2020, so medical “experts” would have been aware of it.]
Not to my knowledge.
Problem #12 —
An exacerbating situation here is that (pressured by pharmaceutical lobbyists), Congress chose (via the Prep Act, which built on NCVIA ) to protect the interests of vaccine and injection manufacturers, rather than to protect the public’s right to safety, or to provide the public with legal recourse against malfeasance or incompetence by pharmaceutical companies. Hmmm. Didn’t they learn anything from NCVIA?
Big Pharma’s argument was that lawyers were indiscriminate in filing frivolous lawsuits against them, so defending such suits would make it uneconomical for them to produce vaccines, so they would stop.
Certainly, there is some merit to protection from frivolous lawsuits, but it seems like there should be a middle ground here. Instead, it appears that we have gone from one extreme to another.
The Bottom Line —
So when people like RFKjr cast aspersions on vaccines, don’t be fooled by the wails of lamestream media, and other self-serving or misinformed parties.
The takeaway is that the US “vaccine” business has lost its way, and is long overdue for a complete overhaul from stem to stern.
