My criterion for dubiousness is whatever doesn't fit what happens in the real world. As an unvaccinated person, I should be long dead according to your rationale, and yet here I am, in perfect health. I never even caught Covid. I know a lot of people who can say the same, so it isn't just me. Unfortunately the same can't be said about the vaccinated. I can PM you a social media post where 2000+ Thai people (unquestionably real people, these are not "statistics" or sweeping third-party statements) comment on their health issues since taking the jab. Are you interested?

Undeniably.

"Nothing can change that" includes dubious statistics of course.

Context is everything, Steven. I will gladly clarify for you: "Waking up" here means breaking free from the paradigm under which "science" is the de facto way forward and all those who challenge it are somehow lacking intellect or "education". What Hotez refers to as "the rise of anti-science" is in fact the rise of awareness: awareness that the parmaceutical industry is worth billions of dollars and does not profit from healthy people. Hotez and his pharma-sponsored acolytes don't get to decide who is smart and who isn't anymore. People are doing their own research and feeling a lot better for it, and nothing can change that.

"The rise of anti-science and anti-intellectualism" aka waking up!

No, Israel is the theocracy. Rabbis are systematically consulted for foreign policy (and in times of war such as in 67, 73 and now). The Likud and Netanyahu (who have been in charge since Rabin was taken out in 1995 – because he was going to achieve the two-state agreement, and he was not taken out by Palestinians) are "active Messianists" who have turned the Old Testament into a political project, using the book of Josue as a model for the conquest of Palestine.

Does he also condemn the Nakba? https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/5/15/the-nakba-five-palestinian-towns-massacred-75-years-ago

Fantastic news.

There is a massive problem in Western politics today, pushing confused kids to have irreversible and very painful mutilating surgeries, as well to take puberty blockers which cause an array of very serious medical problems, is evil and sick beyond words.

This study confirms what we already knew, John. You're the smartest guy on this forum.

Yes, that is their plan. The question is, will it come to fruition?

Doesn't look like Biden to me. Which reminds me, can any of you guys explain this? What's that on his ear? https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/president-joe-biden-attends-the-ceremony-at-the-national-9-news-photo/1235181192

It's not just about diet. The introduction of clean water and sanitation systems was pivotal in increasing life expectancy.

This is the guy who chickened out when RFK Jr. challenged him to a debate. If he's such a hot shot and RFK is such a loony, he should have taken the opportunity to humiliate him and show the world how "science" is so far superior to "conspiracy theories". It's more likely he was afraid of being exposed for what he is, a hypocritical Pfizer sales rep with lots of dubious interests. The title of his book is very telling and encouraging. The pharmaceutical establishment can feel the tide is turning and that is a very good thing.

And he looks pretty unhealthy. This guy obviously has no clue about health.

So your rationale is that it was worth it?

True. The vast majority of people just did it so they could work and put food on the table. Even here in Thailand, the honest, simple, hard-working people just did it because the authorities told them it was the right thing to do and it was either that or get fired. I do feel for them as lots of them are injured. I recently watched a video where a Thai guy explains the vaccine uptake has dropped significantly in the country due to obvious injury and death. The most compelling thing is the comment section: there are currently over 2,000 comments by people saying they are suffering in various ways, constant fatigue, joint pain, rashes, limb pain, always sick… as well as testimonies about loved ones dying or bedridden. It is, quite frankly, heartbreaking. Of course, the vax proponents refuse to look at that type of source. "Not approved", you see… There are none so blind as those who will not see.

What the governments did was one thing. But none of this would have been possible without the active participation of the ordinary citizens who condoned and facilitated authoritarianism, segregation and discrimination in the strictest sense of the terms. I said from the very beginning that I felt this forced injection was not right and that there was cause for concern in many respects, and was subject to extraordinary abuse and pressure. The further the government went down the authoritarian, segregation and discrimination road, the more the “good, abiding citizens” condoned and aided it, without batting an eyelid. There are countless examples on this forum, and I am adding a few examples below. What are the lessons to be learnt from this? Well, those who are familiar with Stanley Milgram’s work (as yours truly is) did not find it all that surprising. But forgiveness? Now that is a tricky one indeed, as those people now saying “it’s all behind us”, “let’s move on”, “nobody was forced to do anything” etc. are the ones who would have gleefully watched me getting arrested and forcefully injected (which was advocated by several heads of State and media outlets at the peak of the crisis). https://aseannow.com/topic/1249061-are-we-just-going-to-have-to-live-with-unvaccinated-people-across-thailand/?do=findComment&comment=17165049 https://aseannow.com/topic/1240027-anutin-speaks-out-on-the-unvaccinated-possibly-facing-restrictions/?do=findComment&comment=16990342 https://aseannow.com/topic/1240027-anutin-speaks-out-on-the-unvaccinated-possibly-facing-restrictions/?do=findComment&comment=16990711

I agree with all your points except one: the WHO has not lost its way. This offshoot of the UN (ex League of Nations) was always about establishing a supranational world order. I see sovereignty as the main contemporary issue. Nations and individuals need their sovereignty back.

Some deadly pandemic, eh?

No clue, but never infected (nor were any of the people I know who did the same). Life is unfair, Steve, I should have died ten times in horrible pain, screaming "why did I not get the jab" in my final throes, and yet here I am, fit as a fiddle.

I have a similar experience with this forum. I have been living here since 2009, but hardly ever used it, until two years ago when I just couldn't just sit there and let them get away with the stuff they were saying (forced vaccination is the only way to get over this, the unvaxxed are nutcases, a danger, they shouldn't be allowed in hospitals, should be deported etc.). I have screenshots of the worst ones. In radical times, people reveal themselves unequivocally.

I have been following the Zelenko protocol daily for 3 years and I am pretty sure that's what prevented me from catching it (or anything else for that matter): zinc, quercetin, vitamin C, vitamin D. Also NAC and turmeric. This whole Covid episode revealed quite a few Gestapo wannabes, in real life and virtually.

Wise words, Owl.
