Spinning the infectious disease scenario to keep growing the bottom line will never stop until the masses confront the fear demon for what it truly is. Aggressive Marketing for profit. I will say it again. Stop 30,000 people from dying each year fromC-Diff. I fear being hospitalized and acquiring the spores from unsanitary conditions!

Tulsi may have gotten the ball rolling. The media cannot totally ignore her report and already signs of public ire are arising

A truth seeker that will be missed! Hope you are right. Seniors I meet believe that RNA saved their life and then tell me they had Covid 3 times!

I daresay the great success of the fear-mongering is driven, in large part by the weak unmarried leftist females, and their cucked males who are highly risk-averse and teach any children to be as well.

People who are driven by emotion are unable to make rational risk assessments, therefore all risks becomes equivalent and at some point the fear becomes overwhelming. And because the weak female looks for external protection from harm, she is readily convinced that the solution to her fears are what pharma and government offer her.

The cultural change needed to remove the weak female from the driver's seat of our western societies is far greater than just resisting the blandishments of those who would profit from us.

It might be useful to recall that during the Obama years Obama reassured woman that they would be good. That his government would step in and care for them when needed as needed.

Absolutely!

And then there are the ticks. Reportings on hospital emergency visits for tick bites. But nothing on how many were justified with findings of disease. Just yesterday, major article on deadly, untreatable disease being transmitted (very rarely) by black legged deer ticks.

Our media at the ready to inform us of any and all threats. Our pharmaceutical industries working hard to be at the ready with "vaccines" to protect us. Our doctors, public health operations and drug stores at the ready to vaccinate.

Our answers, for the 'brave' - healthy practices, good nutrition, relevant information and watchfulness? Support for treatment solutions, when needed.

Thank you for sharing Dt Bell's insights!

To our much respected and appreciated Dr Robert M. - a healthy, happy leadup to Fathers Day!

Excellent article. I’m so tired of the pandemic hype. Just like the tick bite hysteria. All we hear about is how bad the next infection could be and how badly we need vaccines for all of them. Thanks for sharing it.

One big grift market for Pharma. Medicine today is scary stuff.

The panic focuses on things whose "solution" makes Pharma money. I do disagree about antibiotics. We are not keeping pace with those because they do not provide enough profit.

Necessary info - Thanks Docs.

Check out the prophetic 2017 Jordan Peterson lecture Biology and Traits (beginning at 41:28) summarizing Bruce Thornhill’s (200 publications/35,000 citations) “Parasite Stress Hypothesis”.

TLDR: the correlation between infectious disease - pandemic outbreak and the rise of left-wing authoritarian government is in Peterson’s empirical world the third strongest correlation in all social science - on the order of IQ and learning. WWI’s influenza gave rise to collectivist Hell.

The most active part of the human genome is response to infectious disease. Disgust sensitivity - a separate emotional system is a marker for danger and is common among Conscientious people (industrious and orderly). It’s active below the level of consciousness, however its surficial expression- fear is not and is weaponized by the malevolent.

Watch until the end as he shows how Hitler became Hitler not through fear, but by a a disgust energetic feedback loop with industrious and orderly Germans

PS: in later work in his lab, Peterson identified the personality traits most associated with Left Wing Authoritarian governments.

With a correlation equaling that of IQ and grades was Low Verbal Intelligence;

2. Women

3. Men with a female temperament.

4 having taken a woke course.

Sounds like the temperament of the Canada that tossed him out and the Diabolical Alliance formed by a naive woman and a weak man in The Garden.

There were drs who recognized and recommended Ivermectin (and other effective treatments). Many lost their license. Now that we have the evidence that they were correct shouldn’t there be apologies and compensation?

How about some retrobution!

Eradicate the illegal / immoral bio labs spread around thr globe and this problem goes away 99%. Those labs are creating the infectious disease problem, not searching for answers.

Flesh-Eating Fly Returns To U.S.: What To Know In VA: I thought you would be "INTERESTED" in the latest.. for VIRGINIA. :) right.. I got an early morning email from the "THE PATCH" in Mt Vernon..what Virginians should know about the 'SCREWWORM" flesh eating fly.. yes I have seen small biting flies in the past. THE ARTICLE SAYS: Virginia residents are being urged to keep an eye on pets, livestock and wildlife after federal officials confirmed new U.S. cases of New World screwworm, a flesh-eating parasite once eradicated from the country but now raising new concern in some parts of the country. For residents in northern states, the immediate risk remains low, health officials say. But veterinarians and animal owners are being advised to watch pets and livestock for wounds that do not heal, especially if animals have recently traveled from affected areas in the South, Mexico or Central America.

New World screwworm flies lay their eggs in open wounds, and the maggots bore deep into the flesh of the livestock and pets who have traveled to SOUTH, MEXICO and CENTRAL AMERICA. right the so the PETS AND LIVESTOCK WHO TRAVELED TO SOUTH, MEXICO and CENTRAL AMERICA..

HOW DOES THAT EVEN MAKE SENSE? :) .. OH GOOD MORNING BTW :)

Doesn't have to make sense, just potentially lotsa cents ($$$)?

Micheal Nash, Ph. D.'s avatar

Been yammering about that here in Texas a week or so. The governor has a task force on it already. Another form of illegal entry on our southern border

Though not really an optimist, I will make an optimistic conjecture: The public at large may tire of unfounded infectious disease alarms, as we are starting to see in the global warming sphere. The public health industrial complex and corporate news media will never reform, so the best that can happen is a pivot away from ID end-of-the-world scenarios to something like a possible asteroid collision or major volcanic eruption. Maybe we'll get lucky when some nation hurls a nuclear weapon to destroy a city or two.

My admiration for Tulsi Gabbard. Another beloved publisher has succinctly characterized Fauci as a human cockroach. If we somehow conquer all infectious disease, it would push MSM and pharma profits down, but would it then make us immortal ?

We do have our work cut out for us to try to figure out ways to demote fear. Fear is inflammation of the psyche and the immune response therein. I do want to make one point that I do think is important and may help reclaim a teeny weeny bit of valuable real estate. Jill says in the intro, "As traditional infectious disease mortality has declined due to improved sanitation, nutrition, antibiotics, and living conditions". Let's always add new class of drugs we tried in Covid and were shouted down for. It is not a class, per se. But right there next to antibiotics should be added ivermectin and Hydrox(don't say it). As we tried to demonstrate during covid there are drugs that are not antibiotics that can quiet or modulate or help defend and we should list them in their broadest categorization along with the infrastructures of water, sewer, food and antibiotics. This is particularly important given the outright nuclear war that was declared on them. It is essential we claim them for our side.

Getting a prediction/projection wrong is forgivable. Destroying and unleashing psy-war on narrative skeptics is not. Doubling down on lethal lies for the purposes of CYA is most definitely not.

Refreshing wisdom of old…

Boomers. Without this demographic I’m not sure Covid would have gone down like it did. Declining health, trust in media and big institutions and generally with a huge sense of entitlement, you get the drift. Nothing is more important to them than them, damm the consequences (that they didn’t have to suffer)

Dolce Far Niente's avatar

I think you will find that later generations are far more feminized and risk-averse than boomers. YMMV.
