Memo to all corporate media and GOP politicians, who don't understand all the continued Covid vaccine hesitancy/opposition, and why you're being booed by your own base when you bring up your love for the jab. Come now, let us reason together in this thread:
If you're vaccinated and boosted and still getting that which you were supposedly vaccinated and boosted against getting, you are not vaccinated and boosted by any definition we accepted prior to marketing these products.
The traditional definition of vaccination is an immunization. The Covid jabs don't do that, and haven't since Delta as CDC admitted on CNN in August. The current data from here as well as Israel and the UK shows Covid case explosion coming among the jabbed.
Just today, in fact, our own CDC advised even jabbed Americans not to go on cruises. So if it doesn't stop me from getting it at the outset, the entire risk ratio changes.
They are actually medicines/therapies, and their effectiveness/safety profile should therefore be debated within the context of other potential treatments for similar ailments/symptoms (many of which are unethically denied).
For example, people struggle with whether to do chemotherapy because it doesn't stop you from getting cancer. If it did, the side effects and dangers of it wouldn't be debatable. It becomes debatable when you realize it's a therapy.
Most people still decide to ride the risks of chemo because cancer is such an overwhelming killer. But here we're talking about a 0.57% IFR according to our own CDC before we even stratify, thus much less for people under 75 and from there depending on your health profile.
Yet these things are marketed/imposed as a magic elixir. Hence the staunch resistance from so many critical thinkers, and that's before we even address the last 22 months of denying natural immunity -- or thousands of years of established scientific precedent.
The minuscule IFR also brings much more into focus the adverse side effects these shots may cause, which is why we're not persuaded by your charts showing how those unjabbed are most likely to die from Covid. Very few people under 75 are likely to die from Covid -- PERIOD.
So then what about the safety of this experimental tech? We know two things about that, both overly general. 1) They are rare, 2) they're also more plentiful than previous "vaccines."
Now, is that because of sheer volume, meaning we've never injected a substance more so while the rate of adverse effect remains low the overall number will be skewed greater, or is it something specific about this tech/injection?
We don't definitively know the answer, because we're not really given transparent information on that courtesy of the EUA. The vaccine injured are treated by the system like it treats former homosexuals, as in people that don't exist (or aren't permitted to be acknowledged).
You also cannot sue or get any remedy/recourse if you are vaccine injured, so all the real risk here is being assumed by the public. Along with the risk of speaking out and perhaps being de-platformed/shunned for doing so. That doesn't inspire confidence among critical thinkers.
This also explains why all the threats of job loss and mandate coercion only raised our overall rate of jabbed Americans a few percentage points the past few months. You've already reached most of the people you were going to with that, or your promotional propaganda prior.
The next group of people you're going to need to reach are only with real answers. The vast majority of us who haven't already gotten the jabs NEVER will without those answers, no matter what your threat is. And the more data we get, the more our suspicions are confirmed.
Speaking of which if you won't provide us those answers, we may very well get them from the control group known as #Omicron in real time anyway. See the data from Israel I posted here in my feed just this morning as one such example.
I conclude by asking these two questions: Do you want a dialogue or not? Do you truly want to convince us of the greatness of these jabs or not? Then you can start by simply addressing the issues presented in this thread. Otherwise, we will not be moved.

25 Theses On Tucker, Fuentes, the Fallout and Future
Tis the season for the nailing of theses and requesting of disputations. Just as there had been attempts for reform within The Church for many years before Tetzel's infamous proto-televangelism on behalf of indulgences was the redline that sparked Luther's 95 Theses and the events that followed, long-simmering differences among us boiled over last week when perhaps our most influential platform decided to try and mainstream one of our culture's most infamous fiends.
For many on both sides of the debate, a redline had been crossed: either it's time to take Fuentes seriously, or seriously reconsider associating with those that do.
We are never going back again. On my show last week I was critical of the @TuckerCarlson Fuentes interview, but then the next day felt compelled to defend his overall legacy against calls for cancellation. After taking a few days to observe, ponder, and pray, I'm going to lay out my thoughts in this thread fwiw. If we're going to have a debate, then let's have a real one.
How We Got Here and Why Fuentes has an Audience
We are now reaping the whirlwind from a bitter generational harvest of fatherlessness (literal or figurative) in the home and gutlessness in the pulpit. Many of our institutions and traditions are feared irrevocably lost.
As a result, an entire generation of males collectively now do not know how to be men (preserve, provide, protect), or exercise their God-given headship/dominion with Christ-like meekness (or power under control). This all too often leads to reactionaryism being mistaken for initiative, retardation mistaken for critical thinking, and passivity mistaken for self-control.
The anger of our young men, particularly our white young men, at the mortal damage permitted to our heritage and way of life by the last generation, and has now been placed in their laps to fix, is entirely justified.
As a result, the Right needs and is now having a generational reckoning after the failures of the past several decades, especially given how close the Left came to ultimate victory. Any attempt by the older generation to stymie this reckoning will just drive scores more exasperated young men to the likes of Nick Fuentes and his groupies/impersonators.
On Nick Fuentes
Nick Fuentes is a malignant Satanic force, and barring sincere repentance and regeneration offers nothing of value. Like his true father, his native tongue is slander and accusation -- and often by the cruelest and most vile means possible.
We are more than capable of addressing the justifiable concerns of our young men without creating our own Louie Farrakhan.
If Nick Fuentes is permitted to be mainstreamed on our side it will end up irredeemably splintering our coalition to render us politically impotent, as well as cause much of our donor and advertising base to eject rather than take on his baggage in an increasingly politicized marketplace.
I looked into the cross tabs of this poll in 3 key battleground states -- Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Because it is absolutely impossible for Trump to get the required 270 Electoral College votes without winning at least 1 of them. Darned near impossible for him to get there without winning at least 2 of them.
Here are some cross-tabs that just don't make sense:
Nevada
-Claims Trump is winning women by 9 there when he lost them by 10 in 2020 (if this is true, why all the caving on abortion then?).
-Claims Trump is winning men there by 18 when he won them by only 5 in 2020.
-Claims Trump is winning Hispanics there by 11 when he lost them by 26 in 2020.
Pennsylvania
-Claims Trump is only losing women there by 3 when he lost them by 11 in 2020 (if this is true, why all the caving on abortion then?).
-Claims Trump is ahead there despite doing 5 points worse with whites than he did in 2020.
-Claims Biden is only getting 44% of the Philadelphia vote when he received 81% of it in 2020.
-Claims Biden is only getting 50% of the black vote there when he received 92% in 2020.
Percentage of electorate that is suburban/black during Trump era:
2022: 52/11
2020: 51/13
2018: 51/11
2016: 49/12
Can someone, anyone, please explain to me why the level of Righty election obsession on this app is like 90-10 more fixated on gaining another point or two of the voting bloc that is a sliver of the electorate — compared to the largest bloc of swing voters in every election?
Is it just as simple as the whites who consume our content are so desperate to be told they’re not racists anymore, that we are likewise this desperate for their business?
This is what I mean when I say the content we produce as an industry too often puts us at odds with what we claim are our stated goals as a movement.
Furthermore, check out this chart of states with black populations higher than the national average (blacks are 14% of US population). There are 16 of these states. What may surprise is you there are 6 solid red states and only 5 solid blue states. Furthermore, other than Michigan, the other 4 swing states here (GA, NC, VA, and FL) are swing due to wait for it…wait for it…wait for it…LARGE SUBURBAN POPULATIONS! You can’t make this up.
Text from someone who spends millions each election to help Republicans:
“I tell my donors this is a waste of money, and there is much more crossover appeal with Hispanics, but they don’t want to hear it. They’re tired of being called racists.”
Some takeaways from the #IACaucus results in this thread, the first official votes of the 2024 election.
Before the vote, I said I was confident in 4 things:
1) Turnout would be down. ✔️ 2) DeSantis would over-perform his polling. ✔️ 3) Haley wouldn't finish second. ✔️ 4) Haley would be closer to Vivek than DeSantis. ✖️
So I was right on 3/4. But there are details in there that must be further discussed, so we shall.
Turnout Would Be Down.
Make no mistake, this was a dominant performance by former President Trump. He more than doubled the record for largest caucus win ever (previously set by Dole 1988, who didn't win the nomination btw). Before we get into some other ominous signs within the turnout, though, that needs to be acknowledged from the jump. It is clear 'muh polls' were right about his support. Congratulations to him and his team. Tip of the cap. You blew the roof off the joint. Give them their flowers.
However, this election isn't about winning the Iowa Caucuses. It's really about winning 294 days from today. And to that end, there are concerns.
Yes, I expected turnout to be down. Until recently, this has been a low energy cycle in Iowa. Then we had the worst winter weather I can remember leading up to the in-person vote. However, I never expected a 41% drop in turnout from 2016. That is not good. When you factor in we have by far the most registered Republicans in the state's history, this is the worst turnout in the history of the Iowa Caucuses.
Can it all be chalked up to weather? Perhaps. But remember, GOP turnout was noticeably down across-the-board in the special and off-year elections in 2023 as well. So this is something to watch as we move forward, because I can't think of a time when a party had diminished turnout in a primary cycle and then went on to success in the general.
The biggest driver in depressed turnout? Shockingly it was white evangelicals -- long considered perhaps Trump's strongest base. They were 64% of caucus goers in 2016 but just 55% this year. No GOP nominee is winning a general election with depressed white evangelical turnout like that, no matter what percentage of them he gets.
My man is the first elected official to snap the spines of the demonic teachers' unions in a major urban population center. This is a generational accomplishment. All he does is win on policy, which is what matters most. Except when it doesn't...
The problem is it's very hard to build an uber-lucrative following in this business with a narrative of winning on policy, because much of the GOP base doesn't actually care about policy despite its claims to the contrary. We are not the people we claim to be.
Since we're not backed by gubmint and global corporations like Left Media, we often need to move where the food is. Which is more often found perpetuating a victim narrative more than a victor one, and exposing Leftist hypocrisy more than demanding GOP accountability.
