I don’t claim to have the answers but ultimately it was the Antiscience disinformation campaign from the Russian Government, together with the Atlas-led WH CoV TF, Texas-led “health freedom” campaigns, and national groups that massively expanded the deaths from COVID19 in America

Their major vehicles were 480 Antiscience websites and Facebook, while Amazon was overwhelmingly the largest promoter of fake health freedom antivaccine and anti Covid books 📚. Some of it amplified by Murdoch media holdings

Unless we stop the nonsense and begin dismantling the Antiscience confederacy or empire, the deaths will mount, our nation will be further destabilized. I’m doing my best to speak to conservative news outlets, to save 150,000 additional Americans lives in Heartland + Texas by Feb

So far I’m appreciative that Fox News invited me back, and now Daily Caller and Wash DC Examiner. I honestly don’t care about political parties, ideologies, I just want to get our nation through to the other side so they can get vaccinated

I’ve been lucky to work all over the world 🌎 people of West Texas, Midwest = nicest kindest people you could hope to meet. They would give you the shirt 👕 off their back if you asked. But they are falling through the cracks because of extreme politics on both sides, I say “no”

In addition to our low cost COVID19 vaccine, I am devoting the all my remaining energies, up at 4 AM to 11 PM to prevent the loss of life of 150,000 Americans, including 17,000 Texans by February
