2/ But it gets worse. Both of these groups STARTED w/= unemployment rates.
The EXCESS unemployment is literally 4x higher in the 10 most vaxed states, than the least vaxed. This translates to nearly 850,000 people who are unemployed in these states.
3/ My state, currently the MOST-VAXED state in the country for 1st dose, was the ONLY state whose unemployment rate INCREASED last month. wbjournal.com/article/mass-i….
4/ This is what happens when fear is used to compel policy—and when intrusive government spending saps the will to work from the people. And as noted, there is no association b/n vax rates and cases rates.
5/ The CDC dishonestly used the seasonal summer spike to claim this. But when you look at other less politically-motivated sources, there is NO relationship—actually slight positive.
7/ Continuing with a policy that CANNOT achieve its goals (stopping COVID spread), but WILL exclude tens of millions of people from society is pointless at best, and amoral at worst. brownstone.org/articles/vacci…
8/ If you want me to be able to continue doing this kind of analysis during my campaign, please consider donating.
Otherwise, I have to spend all my time on the phone begging rich people for money.
This was an invited guest, yet Stanford DEI admin ginned up so much fury about his visit that she closed her PREPARED & PRACTICED remarks with “I don’t look out & say, ‘what is going on here?’ I look out & say ‘I’m glad this is going on here.’”
2/ By ginning up this fury, she ensured these students would not join w/an open mind. She robbed them of the oppty to hear an opposing argument articulately stated. Was that the plan? That if exposed w/o being prejudiced these LAW students might find the rationale compelling?
3/ Stanford and other institutions are of course free to mold their students in this manner. It will backfire. This kind of behavior is toxic for workplaces, and the only reason people esteem places like Stanford is b/c you get better jobs w/more certainty.
Join me at my (new) home in Austin, TX for a fundraiser to support @Rstorechildhood. Their mission is to make sure what happened over the past 2+ years NEVER happens again ➡️ documentation, advocacy and research. Want to meet #TeamReality? Come! donorbox.org/events/372292
3/ This group is GOOD. They have done incredible work documenting the harms of pandemic policies. For a taste, check out here. youtube.com/restorechildho…
1/ Chickenpox vax doesn’t stop infection, DOES mostly prevent disease. You need a booster (after ~4 yrs). Developed 1974 ➡️ on US vax schedule in '96.
COVID vaxes don’t stop infection OR DISEASE. Boosters ~4mos. Developed in 2021--ACIP voting tomorrow (2022) to add to sched.
2/ Would you get the chickenpox vax if you still got chicken pox--seemingly more frequently than people who didn't? Probably not.
Even as it is, the chickenpox vax isn't recommended in the UK. Because it doesn't stop infection, and chickenpox not a bad disease for most.
3/ Yet ACIP is voting tomorrow to add this to the US kids' vax schedule, despite being disallowed for administration in children in many European countries. The safety signal is atrocious. The benefits--especially for children--non-existent.
1/ I see a lot of stuff now about whether fascism is left or right. It doesn't really matter.
Totalitarian mechanics are always the same--terror, isolation, atomization--they just have different motivating ideologies. The results are the same, whether Bolshevik, Nazi, Maoist.
2/
We fail to recognize this new threat as totalitarian, because it lacks the charismatic leader that we are used to--no hitler, no mao.
But the totalizing nature of the ideology, the inversion of reality to suit the ideology and so many more are unquestionable hallmarks.
3/ I can't recommend strongly enough Hannah Arendt's "The Origins of Totalitarianism". It's dense, but you will find so much of what she describes (the last third is most pertinent), describes what we are experiencing--just without the leader.
1/
The authors of this newest mask study acknowledge that masked districts exempted masked close contacts (all) from testing, but still claim it is legitimate. Let’s explore.
2/ But as usual, the opposite is true. We looked at data from more than 20 million kids, and found that masked districts missed 3x more days of school last year, than mask-optional.
1/ Effective immediately, I am withdrawing my candidacy. In search of normal, will be relocating to Austin, TX. This move is 100% due to the policies of the last 2 yrs.
2/ We have been unable to protect our children from the shrapnel of fear emanating from the media & Beacon Hill.
Our kids are set to be un-masked on 2/28. But I can't trust that. All it will take to undo, is a louder, more potent constituency making its demands known.
3/ So, we are leaving. Despite living here for nearly 20 years—longer than any other place we have lived.
18 months ago, I thought this was impossible, from a professional and real estate perspective. But necessity is the mother of invention.
