Dr Fauci was promoting the existing, sensible pandemic protocols (get some sun, exercise, eat healthy, forget masks) until he did an overnight reversal about March 2020. The public was scarred and the political atmosphere had become panic-fuelled and I think he saw the opportunity for fame and glory. If he did anything provably illegal throw the book at him, but he seems to have behaved like a typical politician: leading by walking out the front facing backwards, watching which way the political winds are blowing.

I’d suggest you expand your research into the man, ‘the real Anthony Fauci’ book would be a good place to look.

Well I’m pleased to see that at least the Dutch police don’t stand by and enable these loony activists by doing nothing. British police take note.

Even better though to take out your frustration in toppling the WEF government. All that anger, rightly focused and contained, could be the powder keg to bring down governments that are betraying their people. Has to be done peacefully though – they expect violence. So, yes, Mogs, sometimes a few minutes occasionally with a baseball bat and some old crockery could be useful to let off steam…!

“Jesus could have been transgender, claims Cambridge dean”
The woke brigade simply don’t care about what damage and destruction they sow, nor how their actions and words can cause so much upset, just so long as their message gets out to poison the minds of vulnerable and gullible people. Their pernicious agenda now reaches back into history, ancient history at that, to explain such things as an individual artist’s depiction of Christ 1400 years after the man was dead and buried. They can then build a case to say that Christ had a transgender body – imagine the implications of that, that Christianity is actually a transgender religion!! This is the most egregious example of the wokeists looking for evidence to support their clearly bonkers agenda. Why and how they infiltrate the upper realms of academia is beyond me. These people are meant to be intelligent. Are they simply playing the woke card so that they can hold on to their tenure? It does make you wonder…and catches me out in the lazy moments of a Sunday morning when I’d rather think about something meaningful and inspirational.

What he said……👇

@DrJBhattacharya

Mid 20th century: In the middle of a terrible pandemic and with a promising vaccine candidate in hand, Jonas Salk ran a randomized trial involving 1.8 million children.

Early 21st century: The FDA approves the ba4/5 booster on the basis of mouse antibodies.

We’ve regressed.

Pandemic Logic

“Experts”: There’s no such thing as immunity debt.

Also “Experts”: China can’t open up due to lack of exposure.

https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/massachusetts-death-certificates-excess-mortality-covid-vaccines/

In this article, I highlight the work of independent investigator John Beaudoin, Sr., who analyzed nearly seven years of Massachusetts death certificates he obtained through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.
Beaudoin’s findings demonstrate that the Covid-19 death toll in Massachusetts was largely confined to a short window of time in 2020, and that COVID-19 deaths in 2020 resulted from pulmonary causes — in contrast to COVID-19 deaths in 2021, which were more closely linked to illnesses of the heart and blood.
There is no reasonable way to explain how SARS-CoV-2 dramatically changed the way it attacks and kills human beings and why it did so at precisely the time the experimental mRNA inoculations were deployed.
Beaudoin’s analysis also suggests that medical fraud and negligence may have been in play on a scale yet to be definitively determined.

Pandemic logic

You can’t compare countries because they’re all different. What worked in one country wouldn’t work in others.

That’s why every country had to have the same approach and vilified if it differed.

As far as we know the laws of physics are universal. Biological life, if it exists elsewhere in the universe, may well appear different depending on the environment it exists in, but here on Earth biology follows a similar set of rules.

Observationally, I look at fish flesh and crab flesh and see they are very similar in structure, which is also very similar to steak flesh. No doubt there will be some expert who will jump in to say they’re not the same at all.

Life on Earth has evolved over billions of years and is intrinsically linked.

Why is it then that when a novel virus appeared, “experts” treated it as if it was a freak of nature that would act like nothing seen before?
