Vaccine mandates and institutionalized segregation

Vaccine mandates: a new form of ‘institutional segregation’
Increasingly, vaccination is no longer a matter of choice. Hundreds, perhaps thousands, of workplaces and schools are instituting COVID-19 vaccine mandates, with more expected following formal FDA licensure of the vaccines. But mandating people and their children who have consciously chosen not to get vaccinated — a group that tends to be younger, less educated, Republican, non-white and uninsured — is a recipe for creating new and deeper fractures within our society, the kind of fractures we may profoundly regret in hindsight.
Let’s not sugarcoat it: This is a new form of institutionalized segregation. Yes, some unvaccinated adults may swallow this bitter pill and comply as a way of doing their part in making America safer. But many will see it — along with requirements that the unvaccinated wear masks or undergo regular COVID testing — as a thinly veiled attempt at public shaming. After all, if the goal is to maximize the interruption of spread, then surely all people should be masked irrespective of vaccination status.
Forced compliance will come with future consequences. The ensuing anger, resentment and loss of trust forms a ticking time bomb waiting to go off. Are we ready to add this mandate to the list of issues helping erode the fabric of our society?These practices diverge substantially from the historical norm of equal opportunity. For all other required vaccines, religious and philosophical exemptions allow unvaccinated children to enjoy the same educational experience as the vaccinated. This is because exemptions reflect a social value that in the United States, there are valid reasons for refusing treatments or vaccines, and these reasons will be respected. Once exempt, there are no sanctions experienced in everyday life. But with COVID vaccine mandates, even those with exemptions are being sanctioned, sending another clear message: We really don’t care about your reasons.
Even though not everything here is true Joe still makes a good point.

Interesting viewpoint
An appeal for an objective, open, and transparent scientific debate about the origin of SARS-CoV-2
On July 5, 2021, a Correspondence was published in The Lancet called “Science, not speculation, is essential to determine how SARS-CoV-2 reached humans”. The letter recapitulates the arguments of an earlier letter (published in February, 2020) by the same authors, which claimed overwhelming support for the hypothesis that the novel coronavirus causing the COVID-19 pandemic originated in wildlife. The authors associated any alternative view with conspiracy theories by stating: “We stand together to strongly condemn conspiracy theories suggesting that COVID-19 does not have a natural origin”. The statement has imparted a silencing effect on the wider scientific debate, including among science journalists. The 2021 letter did not repeat the proposition that scientists open to alternative hypotheses were conspiracy theorists, but did state: “We believe the strongest clue from new, credible, and peer-reviewed evidence in the scientific literature is that the virus evolved in nature, while suggestions of a laboratory leak source of the pandemic remain without scientifically validated evidence that directly supports it in peer-reviewed scientific journals”. In fact, this argument could literally be reversed. As will be shown below, there is no direct support for the natural origin of SARS-CoV-2, and a laboratory-related accident is plausible.
Read the rest of the article and make up your own mind on what you get from it.
I’ve read that the virus was discovered in bats in China over a decade ago and the sample was taken to Wuhan for study. I have learned that Fauci and others were doing gain of function research there and that those involved have made lots of money from whatever they had been doing for some time. 2/3 confirmed facts sure look like I don’t yet know enough about the coronavirus that has run rampant through the world and that some countries got different origins of it at the beginning. That’s pretty much all I know.
Good question
More selective masking.

Too bad the sleep with your boss
meme misspells "coercion". That detracts from the impact.
A client came for an interview today. A dentist. For business reasons, I asked her what her office did for precaution, and that led to the jab discussion. She will not get it, will not require her employees to take it, as does my vet client/pal near here, as does my Dr. nearby.
I can't believe this mandate supplants Constitutional rights, but it might.

"coercin" sounds like the patent name of a drug. i suppose i should leave it to the imagination as to what the drug does.
my imagination
goes to wild places.

The constitutional question
is interesting. But I think it's been more than a century since Scotus last had a major vaccine mandate question before them (1905 Jacobson) and voted in favor of the feds. Edit: That involved a state vaccine mandate, not a federal edict.
Biden currently has only a partial mandate in place. -- fed workers and companies w/more than 100 employees. He probably heard from advisors it is a dicey proposition politically and maybe legally, and decided just to do a partial. Let the state, local govt and smaller private entities do the rest.
But seems to me a good legal challenge at the fed or state level would want to show the trial court how these vaccines just aren't effective at stopping virus spread, and so their reason for being is in serious question. You can't really insist on a govt vaccine mandate where the main purpose is for reducing the rate of deaths/hospitalizations, which is how these vaccines have been advertised for most of the past 9 months since rollout. I don't think that a showing of marginal reduction in those areas would be nearly sufficient to overcome personal privacy/body autonomy objections.
There would be other challenges too, likely involving the questionable way these dubious vaccines were not given the usual long time for clinical study, and so by their very nature they tend to be more experimental drug products rather than true vaccines.
Hard to tell whether having a 6-3 conservative majority would help the anti-mandate forces, but there's that possibility.
I am all about the right
to privacy.

I came across a
personal story on social media the other day regarding a doctor who declined to see a regular patient suffering near-urgent symptoms upon learning he was unvaccinated.
Has anyone heard of doctor vaccine mandates wrt patients? First I"ve heard of it, no way to verify, haven't heard on any msm stories along these lines. It would be unethical, imo, for the doctor to refuse treatment on this basis.
hmmm...
i could imagine a doc asking a patient exhibiting covid symptoms to go to a hospital emergency room where they have facilities to isolate a patient to prevent spread, rather than his/her office. perhaps i am being overly generous with my imagination, i dunno.
The poster's story
didn't mention Covid symptoms, just a near-urgent situation with something. But perhaps the doctor sensed a Covid situation. First time I've heard of a doctor asking a patient about his vaccine status. I hope this doesn't become the norm.
Still, imo, the doctor from a purely ethical pov should not decline to see the patient. No 100% guarantees of safety in the medical profession. For sure, from a doctor's business pov, he has the right to not see patients. A matter of what he CAN do vs what he SHOULD do.
heh...
i pretty much agree with you about the ethics, with the caveat that a doc should have the discretion to direct a patient to a specialist or facility that is better able to treat said patient. i wouldn't fault a doc for not wanting his office staff or patients in the waiting room to be exposed to a potentially nasty virus when it could be more safely handled in another setting.
i think that it would be reprehensible for a doc to refuse to see patients to punish them for not getting a covid vaccine.
Def agree on that
last point, the heart of the matter.
As to Covid safety, we know that being vaccinated doesn't prevent getting the virus and spreading it (and vaccinees might even be more likely to spread, per that VN hospital study reported a month or so ago). Far better, if the doctor has great concerns about Covid spread in his office, to require a very recent test which would probably turn off a number of his patients, or set up a quick 15-min test in his office, which doesn't seem practical.
I have been to 2 doctors.
Both for skin problems. Headed to a 3rd next week. On the list you fill out, the question is, had a vax or not?
I have not been asked about flu vax before, or any other vax. Ever. I feel "tracked" and just a bit pre-diagnosed.
"We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false." ---- William Casey, CIA Director, 1981
I'm somewhat sure
from a few yrs back that I saw a Flu Vax? question on one doctor's intake forms. I saw it, unremarkably, as just one of the many Qs a doctor asks to get as complete a picture of your medical situation as possible. I recall other Qs on the intake about other vaccines like Last Tetanus Shot; probably most of the others. Of course there was never a question of those other vaccine qs being a threshold question to permit you to become the doctor's patient.
I have been asked about tetanus within 7 years.
But the Current vax is obviously added into the previous forms. I guess it bears on allergies and skin cancers. (snark)
"We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false." ---- William Casey, CIA Director, 1981
The directive here
is to call Healthline or your doctor if you have concern that your symptoms are covid related. From there you would be directed about what to do. Understandably, doctors don't want patients with symptoms of the virus to visit their office where they see other patients. Covid is not the one and only medical condition that deserves attending to.
We have a bit of a problem here
It appears that asymptomatic and presymptomatic persons can transmit the disease according to the CDC.
The following is CDC guidance for non-healthcare workplaces:
"Given the risk of transmission of SARS-CoV-2 from asymptomatic and presymptomatic persons with SARS-CoV-2 infection, use of antigen tests in asymptomatic and presymptomatic persons can be considered."
Maybe the rules s/b that EVERYONE get an antigen test before they visit the doctor or hospital?
Maybe so, CB
I understand this to be the current practice. I assume that after careful screening (by phone) of the individuals symptoms, appropriate advice would be given. Likely, it would be to be tested first.
I guess time will tell how the current practice works here. I'll try to keep up to date.
Every day.
Every doctor my wife and I go to asks about vaccine status, requires masks, and observes special coronavirus protocols. I had rotator cuff surgery 2 weeks ago and had to bring my vaccine card along to get into the surgery center. My wife's rheumatologist begged her to get the 3rd vaccine shot just yesterday.
Mask requirements for sure
I've been to 3 different doctors for different reasons (PCP, dermatologist and ophthalmologist) since the vaccine rollout, and not once have been asked about my vaccine status. I have cataract surgery coming up mid-Oct and a pre-op sheet of important things to do before that, but nowhere on that list is there anything about having to produce a vaccine card before entering the surgery room. It would moreover be a bit absurd as I will effectively be masked during the surgery (they put a light cloth over my face), and the surgery lasts only about 15 min.
And with some studies out there (VN controlled hospital study) suggesting vaccinated actually carry 241x more viral load than unvaccinated, the HCWs will be much safer with this unvaxxed patient.
What would have been the consequences of being
unvaccinated? Say, 1 jab, or 2 jabs but not plus 2 weeks?
Would you or your wife been denied care?
I wonder if drs. are demanding the vaccinations as a prerequisite around the country. I am wondering about the legal consequences. It looms large, down the road.
If drs. can do it, then ers and hospitals can.
If so, shamans will get a lot of business.

OMG! Just look at all these people of color protesting vaccines
Google Image Search for united states vaccine protests
Source: Photos of vaccine protesters enduring rampant institutionalized segregation
Well they may not
engage in organized protests on the vaccines, but it's still true that the Black and Latino communities are more resistant to getting these jabs compared to Whites, so a sort of quiet unseen protest. https://abcnews.go.com/Health/us-blacks-latinos-remain-covid-19-vaccine-...
Didn’t read the article huh?
Yeah why bother to?
Segregation in this vaccine sense
has nothing to do with race.

Salient points so you don't miss them
NOTICE: With this change of tune, the Lancet is signalling a MAJOR shift from SARS-CoV-2 being of zoonotic origin to being laboratory designed. Something is up. I'm wondering how Fauci is going to extricate himself to leave the blame solely on the Chinese. Is this the first salvo in the coming war on China?
Long Past Time To Hit The Panic Button
Lawsuits? In this environment? This was over a long time ago.
Preposterous non-sequiturs are public policy and anybody who points out the absurdity of ideas like the unvaccinated are making the vaccinated sick is told to shut up with more than a hint of punishments to come. There is no legitimacy anywhere in any public authority.
I certainly agree, as a guy who went to law school, that the obvious and normally triumphant argument to defeat the mandatory vaccination directives is that there is no rational purpose for the mandate. All the Plaintiff needs to prove the case is the material from Pfizer and Moderna about their products. You cannot simultaneously reduce symptoms and prevent infection. No amount of sophistry or peer reviewed research can evade this contradiction at the core of the vaccine narrative.
But that obvious contradiction gets pointed out on message boards and some non-main stream media without making a dent in the MSM and governmental narrative of blaming the unvaccinated for the continuation of the pandemic.
.
Opposition to these irrational mandates starts from the assumption that the disease is real and calls for public health intervention. The question is whether the current vaccines are a necessary component in the effort to end the pandemic. As a society we have already allowed our leaders to change all our lives drastically and the result so far is by any measure disappointing.
From the start of the pandemic shutdown, I have heard from countless business associates that "they will have a vaccine in X months and life will get back to normal." Those hopes were misplaced and the authorities are riding on the inertia behind that very widely held assumption to avoid explaining their failures to end the pandemic and the lack of any convincing evidence of success.
As I have posted before, establishment supporting voices rely upon the age old sophistry of reversing the burden of proof. Since I cannot prove the the vaccines are not working, of course they are working perfectly.
When the lies are this bold, it is long past time to hope for a better outcome. It is also past time to do much of anything to stop this roller coaster ride. As Rip Torn said to Will Smith in Men in Black about the imminent destruction of Planet Earth, "Sucks, doesn't it?"
August 1914 seems to me the best analogy. A global network of "powers" led by self important nincompoops misunderstood everything about what they did as they all bumbled and stumbled into The Great War. Most of the countries of the world are now bumbling and stumbling into a multi-year calamity that is ripping civilization apart.
Meanwhile, with the travel and retail industries decimated, somehow the stock markets have skyrocketed during the pandemic while housing prices have increased by upwards of 15%. By the way, 15 million out of the 140 million single family dwellings are unoccupied. There is a bizarre disjunction between crashing sectors of the global economy and these ridiculous market rallies. There is no secret about how such a weird result can happen -- both market rises are driven by The Federal Reserve creating over a trillion bucks a year for the specific purpose of "supporting" those markets.
The only sure thing about this weird juxtaposition is that there some heavy bullshit at work.
None of this adds up.
.
With the vaccine narrative being ram rodded with braindead bullying, I can see nothing good on the horizon. Just because I can't see it, it does not necessarily mean there is nothing real to hope for.
I hope I can figure out something to hope for. . .
I cried when I wrote this song. Sue me if I play too long.
“ None of this adds up.”
The following video on “Mass Psychosis” may clarify that perception. You will first need to accept the possibility that you, and the vast majority of the population, are susceptible to subliminal and overt manipulations. I had no problem with that notion. You will also need to accept the possibility that your government is not a “representative” body, but answers to other interests. Again, I had no problem with that notion either.
Where I DID have difficulty was in accepting the notion that the motivations being served are malevolent in the extreme. My difficulty is that I could not find a benign explanation more likely than the malevolent one.
Watch at your own peril.

A very interesting presentation in the video. Most importantly, it offers a way to fight back against the manipulation.
I am with you in having had to re-think how bad this is. Up to now, I still believe that we are watching an ad hoc response to the outbreak of a respiratory virus, letting loose the dogs of neoliberal logic. Every player in this Great Game simply follows its own self interest via profit maximization. The Pill Business has always run on Expanding the Market and the pandemic was a god send for Pfizer and Moderna.
Never kill the Golden Goose and sell booster shots forever.
It can't be that simple, can it?
I cried when I wrote this song. Sue me if I play too long.
It's not clear why
it's "too late" for lawsuits. Biden just announced these mandates a few weeks ago. His admin hasn't even completed the legal paperwork at Labor/OSHA to formalize the edict.
Will the many current legal challenges or those in the works face a difficult legal path given the Jacobson case? Probably, even definitely. But we won't know until it's tried, so there's no sense in just throwing in the towel before the game even gets started. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. To sit back in frustration and do nothing or not use all weapons at our disposal would be even more cowardly than AOC voting "Present" or Obama cravenly caving to the anti-healthcare reform Rs on 95% of what they wanted before negotiations began.
And since this is football season: It would be like that NY Football Giants Super Bowl team of a few yrs ago seeing the mighty undefeated NE Patriots take the field and deciding, nah, it's not worth it, why bother risking injury when they don't lose, they have Tom Brady and Bill Parcells? Close students of football history will recall that while it took at least one miracle play, the NY Giants did indeed defeat the mighty Patriots that day. And it could happen in court too, including at the Scotus level.
And there might be some important differences between Jacobson and today's situation, starting with the challenge to the safety and effectiveness of these vaccines in open court and in the discovery phase, which fundamental challenge was not allowed to be fully fleshed out back then due to bogus "prejudicial effect" concerns by the trial court judge. And the smallpox vaccine of that time had already had a century of development behind it when rolled out again in 1904 via a local MA mandate. Contrast with today and these experimental rushed-through vaccines on a novel, highly complex virus.
Contrast too the relatively tiny number of adverse vaccine reactions then to the govt' s own VAERS numbers on these vaccines -- startlingly high for deaths and serious reactions. Further, the smallpox vaccine actually was effective in stopping the virus spread; not so the Covid vaccines, which have been advertised as more to prevent hospitalization rather than prevent infection and spread.
And so on. A virtual kitchen sink of legal objections to the Biden mandates could be used, and it only takes one.
I hope you are right
And I cannot prove that my fatalism is accurate. But, I have zero faith in the legal system being any more legitimate than the medical system in the current chaos.
Please believe me when I say I want to be wrong -- as of about six weeks ago I had your point of view. This shit is a massive violation of Fifth and Fourteenth Amendment. It should be child's play to get it enjoined. We shall see fairly soon.
My best hope is that the Biden Government does not put real teeth in the mandate and that specific strand of totalitarian rule will not materialize. Nothing in the "news" suggests that this is likely, but it could happen.
The only point of active disagreement I have with your post is that it only takes one case to blow up the program. I can easily imagine whoever is pulling the strings on Sleepy Joe having him go Andy Jackson on us and tell a Judge to go fuck himself during this Life and Death Crisis.

The song, if you are not just joshing me, was written by Steven Stills when he was part of Buffalo Springfield. "For What Its Worth." Nice shot if you are giving me the business here . . . .
I agree that a win is definitely a win, but this ruling is not on the merits. The Internet Law has been turning on whether people have a right to refuse to cooperate with life saving public health policy. Ignorant sophistry calculated to bamboozle. The real legal argument as we both mentioned upthread is quite different -- there is no logical connection between mandating this vaccine and the purported goal of stopping the spread of covid variants.
.
The headines these last few days show umpty dump thousand health care workers or teachers or whoever getting fired for refusing to get inoculated. That is the real news in these legal stories. People are voting with their jobs. Many of them doctors.
I quit my job on August 31 to avoid being fired on September 1 for failure to produce proof of vaccination. I have skin in this game.
As of late 2020, I was not enthused with the idea of Operations Warp Speed. I knew nothing of the science, and I still don't. (I am also very skeptical of Message Board Scientists who share their ironclad assessment of how wonderful these particular treatments are.) But that is beside the point -- I was cautious and the word "reluctant" was accurate.
.
Six months later, well what do you know? Booster shots were planned as of then. Other variants were an "opportunity."
And these guys who were selling a product that most people around the world presumed were designed to stop the spread of "the" disease were planning on "the" disease to mutate and last forever.
Yet so many people are STILL assuming that these treatments will stop the spread of COVID. Oy ve.
Reading this cold blooded approach to Saving Lives through contracts with governments, my very low estimate of the global health establishment's credibility took another nose dive and my plan to monitor the performance of the vaccine before taking the jabs was put on the shelf.
Month after month and the Vaccine Narrative fell apart. Breakthrough Cases? Oh, yeah, that was to be expected if you had listened to Pfizer to begin with. See above. As I keep repeating on this board, you cannot simultaneously prevent infection and mitigate symptoms.
With such a gaping hole in the core of the Vaccine Narrative, I decided to re-think the issue. There are two risks. Getting Covid vs. Serious Side Effect from therapy. That is a pretty easy exercise as the death toll is trumpeted on a daily basis by the main stream media. So I take the death figures (clearly inflated btw) at face value. The Death Odometer just flipped over a major number -- passing two tenths of one percent of the American Population. It is not so easy to find a public number of "serious" bouts, but I do know one person in real life who had a very rough go of it early in the pandemic. So, just as a way of clarifying the risk, I multiply the official death toll by a factor of five -- one percent chance of death or serious illness.
Hmmmm. All this hoopla about a one percent chance of real trouble? To avoid this risk you take the utterly unknown risk of taking this experiment. Utterly unknown.
As this past summer ground on, I saw that the public authorities were both lying about the facts and actively trying to silence skeptics.
Case closed as far as I'm concerned. There is no reason to trust either the pharmaceutical companies or the various governments of the world. So the burden is on the jab to sell itself to me.
Not buying.
This is not to say that I think, believe or imagine that the Side Effects will come. It is just that I have no confidence whatsoever that the current system is telling the truth about Side Effects.
Instead of worrying about what us plain old folks think or do about our decision on vaccination, I keep asking myself and anybody unfortunately within earshot of me, "Why would they lie about this shit so aggressively unless there is something really horrible hidden behind the lies?"
I cried when I wrote this song. Sue me if I play too long.
My only regret
in the above post, apart from once again letting my keyboard-loving fingers get out of control, is that I had "Bill Parcells" as the Pats coach in the football analogy. Careful scholars of American football will note that the correct name for that example is Bill Bellachick. Although in my defense it can be said that Parcells also once coached the Ps, and that both coaches are two Bills in a pod, as Bill Bellicheck got his big break in coaching under Bill Parcells with the Football Giants.
corporate capture kabuki is what we get
Hi all,
I have worked at staying out of these frays... but have a few thoughts to throw out...
This is the first vaccine that confers immunity only to the manufacturer. Pretty amazing feat if you ask me.
The CDC web page definition of what a vaccine is/does was changed Aug. 2021, Pretty amazing the definition of something so well established had to be uh, fixed on the CDC website. It no longer confers immunity (except see above), now it just offers protection.
The VAERS system has been a joke in many ways, as is using terms like 'herd immunity' and 'fully vaccinated' (how is there such a thing?). I see kabuki.
If the gov wants a couple or few tens of millions of people to get shots, they would line up if IF they simply said: "Any and all problems that result from the vaccine, you and your family will be taken care of". You will not be fought against like we did over Agent Orange, tobacco, Gulf War syndrome, etc.. That is all. A huge portion of the not vaxxed can not afford for anything to go wrong. Grant them immunity from ruin for the experimental treatment, like you did the manufacturer. People would line up.
Then check the wiki page on drugs that have been removed from market. Dozens, with billions in settlements and who knows what human carnage. All have one thing in common. They were pushed as GREAT game changer treatments by the manufacturers, and they were all approved by the corporate captured FDA and CDC.
Making a mandate in the current circumstances seems hard to justify, and harder to sell.
I have been vaxxed all my life as a child born in the 50's, but am not covid vaxxed. There has not been one within a 100 mile roundtrip drive as far as I know so far. Which I would not do. A big city contact would be more risk than my normal. I go a couple miles to a small small town one visit a couple hours a few places, per week. That's it. Masked, gloved, sanitized. I would guess that if I walked out on Main St. and yelled, I need some Ivermectin, people would come out of buildings to offer me some.
Everyone has to make their own best guess with the info out there, and they should know the gov has a long proven history of BS'ing you for the profit of big Pharma.
Play it safe! Be well all.

Great comment!
That sums it up very nicely. Well said.
Dr.
Lena just admitted that she has to be very careful with her kids because even though she is vaccinated she can carry a very high viral load and she risks giving her kids Covid because they aren’t vaccinated.
But it’s the unvaxxed that are spreading the virus?
Dr. Lena's 1st audition for a spokesperson for the WEF.
Traumatized by golly.
Mandates really make no sense
..the vaccines leak...that is vaccinated folks spread the virus as effectively as nonvaxed.
It does appear the vaccines do minimize symptoms, but they don't stop spread. So the purpose of the mandate is? Vaccinated people are as likely to give you COVID as non-vaxed.
what blows my mind is the refusal to use and actual suppression of effective treatments. Even folks here think there's a preponderance of IVM poisoning.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckIQhGKyvd4&t=23m
John explains of the 3.7 Billion doses of IVM administered to PEOPLE there have been only 5648 adverse events. Where as amoxycillin has had 135960, and the Pfizer vaccine over 2 million.
India has had excellent outcomes with IVM as the slowly vaccinate their huge population.

I guess Robert Malone has now decided that his best role is to stir up passions regarding "segregation" and "shaming" instead of a sense of community compassion and sharing of responsibility. I really find that man quite unpleasant and culpable when it comes to sowing fear. In our town, we have lost a local teacher and a 15 year old to Covid. And yet, a local family of some prominence thinks its important for them to not only to refuse vaccination, but to publicly call out the vaccinated as "sheep". Some nurses in Louisville found themselves at the butt of pressure from other nurses to resist vaccination. And kids who wore masks to school found themselves being called "Biden lovers" in school and teased to the point that their parents decided to home school them. I'd like to see people like Malone do a video on that phenomenon particularly since he is so passionate about the topic of shaming.
"Without the right to offend, freedom of speech does not exist." Taslima Nasrin
That looks like
a lot of unwarranted shaming and blaming of Malone, with no causality shown wrt various actions by others, for having the courage to speak out against these alleged vaccines when it would be far better for his professional interests to just shut up and go along with the program, which it seems you would prefer he do.
Actually the way these things are supposed to work, as I understand it, is if a medical professional has great concerns about a drug or procedure, they are ethically duty bound to speak out, at least per the Hippocratic Oath that doctors are bound by. Seems to me Malone is doing his duty as he rationally sees the situation from his rather lofty perch having helped these mRNA "vaccines" -- er, experimental drug products -- to be created, and thus he's all the more under an ethical obligation to speak up if he sees danger, having played such an important role.
All these many, yet still too few, doctors and scientists and other experts have put themselves and their careers on the line in most cases in trying to point out the serious problems with these dicey drug products that millions are being forced to take. TPTB in response are publicly shaming, blaming and finding other creative ways, like threatening medical licenses and jobs, to get them to shut up. This has sent a chilling effect into the medical community with many doctors afraid to go against the grain on these experimental drugs. Is that Good Science? Are threats and coercion ethical in the medical field?
This man has promoted claims about the mRNA
technology and the effects of the vaccines made from that technology that are totally and unscientifically untrue. Like...the spike protein is cytotoxic. Or that the Pfizer vaccine was outside of the liability laws because it was granted under emergency use...he had to admit he was wrong on that because he relied on some attorney's advice rather than looking it up himself.
Not that I think you will take this into consideration... but here is an article by someone who personally interviewed Maline.
https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2021/08/robert-malone-vaccin...
I stand by my assessment of him.
"Without the right to offend, freedom of speech does not exist." Taslima Nasrin
Imagine a non-lawyer
scientist relying on a lawyer for a legal opinion! What gall.
But regardless of the technical legal situation, the end result is the same -- those hundreds of thousands who are injured by these vaccines are left with little legal resort, and the one remaining fed program to address this has a history of approving only a tiny pct of claims, and none so far for Covid vaccines.
The other legal issue might be whether any vaccine mandates can be said to be legal if only EUA vaccines are available. Only the Comirnaty-labeled vaccines are FDA approved, but apparently they are not available in this country, while the EUA Pfizer vaccines are but cannot be used in any legal mandate program.
On both issues of immunity and mandates, the fed govt and vax companies have made it difficult to understand with their public statements couched in thick, opaque bureaucratese and legalese, and so confusion (perhaps deliberate) abounds.
As for that deeply biased-for-the-Establishment Atlantic article, you or someone in the pro-Pfizer camp has posted it before, and I noted then how one-sided the article is, as it displays undertones of gaslighting on the vaccines, as if to say Imagine a scientist having questions about the safety and efficacy of these wonderfully safe and effective vaccines!
Beyond that, why not allow a 2-hour debate between Malone, Dr Kory, Dr Geert Vanden Bossche, Dr Jessica Rose vs Pfizer/Moderna/FDA scientists? It could possibly resolve some of the safety/efficacy questions such as the spike protein, and all the rest. I understand CNN, even occasionally Msnbc, have these 2-hour public forums on various issues. Why not a two-sided debate instead of the usual pro-Covid vaccines programs?
Is the shutting out of all Covid vaccine skeptics in the msm an indicator that the pro-vax side has something to hide? And if the pro side has such allegedly strong arguments, why not engage in debate to expose the anti side's weak arguments, and thereby strengthen the case for the vaccines?
It is true
the vaccine makers have TOTAL immunity from what happens if they injure people. Sure people can jump thru hoops and get a small amount of compensation, if they qualify, but most are on the hook for their medical bills. This has been know since the beginning.
Do you have a link to his apology?
From my reading of the emergency grant of the vaccines, not only are the manufacturers granted immunity, but so are drs., nurses, and pharmacists. I would not take a case against those entities for that reason. It is barred.
I would appreciate seeing my legal understanding is wrong. I want in on any action to sue Big Pharma and to make things right for those injured by the vaccines. I want the green light! There is retirement money in them there hills!
"We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false." ---- William Casey, CIA Director, 1981
yes...
from this..https://www.factcheck.org/2021/08/scicheck-researcher-distorts-facts-on-...
David Bowman, a spokesperson for the Health Resources and Services Administration — the federal agency that oversees compensation programs for those who allege injuries following vaccination — told us in an email that there “are no liability or compensation differences between a countermeasure approved under an EUA or one that has received full FDA approval.”
Malone did not respond to our request for comment, but acknowledged in an Aug. 30 tweet that he was “wrong” about the purported differences in liability. Malone told the Washington Post‘s Fact Checker: “On this particular legal liability issue I did not hunt down the details myself, and relied on comments from a third party lawyer which were not fully correct.”

I only read the except from
the "factcheck". It appears this has to do with applications to federal programs, not medical malpractice suits.

This recent piece
is a pretty good overall analysis, the best I can find at explaining the current confusing legal situation, both as to legal immunity for the vax makers and as to the legal ability to use these vacs in a vax mandate program.
https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/no-one-can-force-you-pfizers...
The authorized Covid vaccines
will fall under the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP) for now. Some of the differences between the CICP and the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) is it will be an administrative process with no judicial appeal (lawyer fees not paid) versus a judicial process with appeal by either party to a higher court (lawyer fees and costs available). The CICP also limits the time to make a claim to one year instead of the three years for VICP.
Basically, the CICP program significantly limits the amount and scope of a claim.

Key point tho
Kids who are vax exempt for other viruses aren't being shamed or made to stick out like a sore thumb. Mandates do not make sense since vaccination DOES NOT STOP the virus from spreading or from people getting sick if exposed. A negative test for the unvaxxed while a vaxxed could be sick too gives people a false sense of security. Tell us how that makes any sense? And as dystopian pointed out too damn many things changed from settled science to fit the current narrative.
And the biggest sore thumb sticking out is that people who had Covid and now have immunity still mandated to get a vaccine and the only reason that makes sense is that changed the way a person gets immunity. From these leaky vaccines that don't give one immunity or any protection from getting infected and spreading the virus. If that all makes sense to you please help me out because it makes NO SENSE to me.
In case you didn't know, Malone has gotten vaxxed on top of getting the Rona so he is hasn't always been against this vaccine.
I know Malone was vaccinated.
He blamed people trolling himself and his wife forced him to do it. A real jerk.
But this kind of thinking scares me...
"When you give up Liberty & Freedom for perceived safety, you lose everything.
This is about control and power, not a virus."
Those buzzwords, Freedom and Liberty (capitalized) is what I see every super conservative candidate in Kentucky use as their "reasons for running". It's code for Christian dominionism, anti gay, anti women's rights, pro-gun and every other hard core position that conservatives take.
Also, tell those people in the hospitals dying that it's not about a virus!
"Without the right to offend, freedom of speech does not exist." Taslima Nasrin
Liberty and Freedom are still
useful words, still the best way to describe what most of us favor and seek, despite the terms being coopted recently by the far right. I want to have the freedom to speak out as I please, and the personal liberty not to be forced into taking an experimental drug concoction.
If you have some good substitute words that are as economical, let's hear them.
No one is going to take your freedoms away.
And you have the liberty to choose not to get vaccinated. Unless you work for an entity that demands vaccinations... you know like the Freedom and Liberty group called the US Military. I talked to a vet last night who laughed about the mandated vaccines issue. He said he lost count as to how many the army made him take. No protests allowed.
"Without the right to offend, freedom of speech does not exist." Taslima Nasrin
And thank goodness
I still have the freedom not to go into the military, where it's well known that most civilian freedoms are severely curtailed.
But outside of the military where this discussion is most relevant, our freedoms are indeed being abridged. Freedom of speech for instance. And now vaccine mandates coming to an employer near you. Here's personal testimony of a CA doctor forced to resign over her employer's vaccine mandate
Over a hundred HCWs
lose jobs over med center vaccine mandate. Likely many such cases all over the country in recent months. https://apnews.com/article/houston-coronavirus-pandemic-business-health-...
And this impressive PA ousted over trying to help doctors at her hospital fill out VAERS forms. Without her help, those cases would not have been reported. But her hospital didn't apparently want them reported. Amazing and yet not surprising. https://apnews.com/article/houston-coronavirus-pandemic-business-health-...
Yes, THEY are taking away your freedoms
Are you personally prepared to accept a 'booster' jab every 6 to 12 months even if you contract COVID in the meantime? I hope so because that's where this is heading.
"CDC: Experts are looking at all available data to understand how well the vaccines are working for different populations. This includes looking at how new variants, like Delta, affect vaccine effectiveness."
The Delta variant is ubiquitous in the Indian subcontinent. So, why has the US (pop 331 mil) with it's considerably higher rate of vaccination with the most advanced and costly medical system in world fared so fucking miserably against Bangladesh (pop 166 mil) and India (pop 1,396 mil) both with lower vaccination rates while spending about $1 per person for generic ivermectin?
Countries with almost half their population living like the following have fared MUCH, MUCH, better than the US!
Something is going on here. I believe TBTB are gaming people like yourself to do their bidding.
I worked as a teacher's aide in a public school system
for many years. When I started, I had to have had a list of vaccines to get the job. Then I had to have yearly physicals and any other vaccines that became important for public health. A couple of the children I worked closely with were handicapped.
Now do you think it was a violation of my freedoms for the schools to make medical requirements of me and all other employees in order to keep the job? Do you think the school system was in cahoots with the vaccination makers to control me? I still had freedom of choice. I could choose not to take the job. Or I could protest and say that the rules for the job amounted to "segregation" based upon my medical status. I'm sure that would work.
"Something is going on here. I believe TBTB are gaming people like yourself to do their bidding."
I'm sure you really do think that. Seriously. So we'll just have to see what comes next-right?
"Without the right to offend, freedom of speech does not exist." Taslima Nasrin
What do you think the cause for the high
death rate in the US compared to many other nations?
I know but I want you to explain it to me.
You are glossing over my questions
and jumping to another topic instead. It is my observation that there is no intention of addressing my points seriously.
See you around.
"Without the right to offend, freedom of speech does not exist." Taslima Nasrin
I've discussed your topics for months
and am tired of repeating myself.
You, on the other hand, have yet to address why the US has so many deaths despite their high vaccination rate. This is 'where the rubber meets the road'.
FYI
Love to hear your thoughts on this.
Incorrect
Malone got it so that he could travel and he thought it might help with his long Covid symptoms. I heard him say that. If your information here is wrong then what else do you know about him is wrong too. And Malone is not the only doctor speaking out about this. There are thousands who are, but the media will not cover it. One sided information is just ridiculous.
It is about liberty and freedom. If you have to choose between getting vaccinated or losing your job and means to take care of your family it’s not really an option. Nurses and doctors spent time and money for their careers and they will have to walk away from them if the mandates hold up.
It’s none of those things. It’s medical tyranny brought to us by big pharma and politicians and who the hell knows who else. I’m surprised by your attitude for mandatory vaccines that haven’t been through complete trials yet. All other vaccines were studied well over a decade. They went through extensive trials and on all types of people. The studies for the current ones will not be available until 2023. Pfizer is still under emergency authorization because the one that got approved.isn’t available yet.
If people want to take them that is fine. It’s medical battery to force it those who don’t.
You can continue to defend Malone if you wish.
But that won't change the fact that he lied about his role in the development of mRNA technology and lied about the vaccine causing cytotoxicity in cells and genetic changes in humans. He is a seller of medical/scientific misinformation and fear. I have absolutely no respect for that.
People are not being physically forced to have vaccines. However, since this is a public health crisis vaccination status must be considered in many arenas of life.... health care facilities, schools, etc. etc. I think people have the right not to choose a vaccine, but they also have a responsibility to their community around them... like to health care workers who are being totally burned out trying to save lives of people who chose not to get vaccinated. So I think it's perfectly reasonable to have vaccine and mask mandates and to limit where the unvaccinated can participate in large gatherings... concerts, restaurants etc. These places should also have the freedom to restrict those who have chosen not to vaccinate. These restrictions are not "medical battery". They are necessary in order to protect people. I'm sorry that you don't see that.
"Without the right to offend, freedom of speech does not exist." Taslima Nasrin
Absolute nonsense
Which part is nonsense?
The fact that Malone has been dishonest or my opinion of the Covid situation? Or both? I can prove the Malone stuff, so it can't be that.
And as for my opinion on the Covid situation.... I'll just ask you a question. If you had to go to the hospital ER and it turned out you needed surgery, would you be OK with the idea that the surgeon or the attending nurses had a highly contagious and/or deadly infectious disease (you can fill in the blank on that one) while they were working on you?
"Without the right to offend, freedom of speech does not exist." Taslima Nasrin
You've been debunked on your false accusations
of Malone by myself and many others innumerable times. Please give it a break.
With COVID you can be an asymptomatic spreader and a surgeon would have no idea he was infected. The standard PCR test is not 100% reliable and would have to be daily. Besides, hospitals are traditionally geared to protect the patient from infections for the most part - some much worse than COVID-19. I would have no qualms about a nurse or surgeon not being vaccinated as long as they appear healthy. In case you didn't know, humans have a well developed, instinctive ability to judge the health of people they meet by their appearance and movements. Unfortunately, a vaccine that is capable of completely masking these cues of the presence of disease is actually a dangerous thing.
And that is exactly what these poorly developed 'vaccines' do!
I have not been debunked on Malone.
What has happened time and again is when I share this information, it is ignored. I have made two claims about Malone.... that his claims of being the "inventor of the mRNA vaccines" is not true, AND that his claims that the spike protein is cytotoxic are also not true. He has made other claims on interviews with Steve Bannon and others, like the one regarding Israel and Pfizer (https://www.techarp.com/science/israel-pfizer-adverse-effects/), but I have mostly mentioned the first two.
Now, and here we go again, try to take the time to read the Atlantic article at the very least.
Again, my discussions of Malone have not been debunked.

Again, please tell me what the cause of the following graph is? You have failed time and time again to address this. Instead you continue to beat a dead horse.
BTW, Israel and other countries which have a similar vaccination rate have a similar graph. I can duplicate this graph with most other countries like Venezuela who have a considerably lower vaccination rate. Please watch the video and we can discuss.
Again, please tell me what the cause of the following graph is?
I gave that answer already. If you wish, you can comb through my comments to find it.
There is no give and take with you. You just keep coming at me and others like an evangelical who claims to have seen Jesus. It's very unsettling and frankly sad.

Vaccine mandates just cost me a friendship.
My travel pal lives in Canberra. He was furious at the deployment of soldiers to monitor the strict lockdown protocols. It diminished his freedom.
However, when the protesters came out against vaccine mandates,he cheered those people getting beaten and shot at point blank range with rubber bullets.
Shaming does seem to go with the territory.

Relatedly, I see this below
as more evidence of the tremendous power of Big Pharma/Big Vax with governments and institutions in the war against treatments other than vaxxes and approved expensive but ineffectual and possibly unsafe other non-IVM drug treatments.
https://trialsitenews.com/icmr-pulls-ivermectin-from-covid-19-treatments...
As I understand, this latest now makes all the major Indian national health agencies in line as being against IVM as treatment for Covid, which will probably put great pressure on officials in states like Uttar Pradesh and Goa to stop giving out the home IVM treatments. Apparently powerful Indian national health officials see it as a bad thing for Covid numbers of deaths and serious illnesses to go down. That's some very curious upside-down thinking.
Uttar Pradesh, the largest province in India
has recently reported no new cases of SARS-CoV-2. The provincial government had introduced widespread use of Ivermectin.
I think the US could do with a little ivermectin and not save it for the horses /s. The death rate continues to climb despite increasing vaccination rate of close to 120 per 100 people. The CDC blames the unvaccinated and the "more infectious Indian Delta variant" for the increase in death rate.
As to why the Indian government wants to now ban ivermectin - it's all about putting the
benjaminsrupees ahead of people. Modi has always been in the pockets of the multinational agribusiness so it's no surprise he would do the same with big pharma - the country could lose a lot of subcontracts.Among the vaccine hesitant are many medical professionals,
many of whom will have to choose between submitting to the vaccine mandate and keeping their job. A case in point is Deborah Conrad, a VAERS whistleblower, who is the subject of the following interview on ‘The Highwire’. We desperately need to keep such committed professionals, such vigorous patient advocates, in the system. Instead we are sacrificing Deborah, and many others, on the altar of institutional messaging and the COVID vaccine push.

How many unvaxxed will get vaxxed before the courts rule
on whether it’s legal or not? This is what I think the game plan is. Scare people into believing that they will lose their jobs if they don’t get vaccinated even when they are questioning if they should get vaccinated in the first place.
And are people who have less than 100 coworkers safe from getting infected? Are WH employees safe from getting infected more than the rest of the public? How about congress and their staff? How are they protected if they get an exemption? If the vaccinated can carry such a high load of the virus then why are they just insisting that the unvaxxed get tested before they can play in public events?
Headline in Helena Independent Record.
I am currently in Montana. This state has experienced an overall increase in Covid cases of 77%. One particular county, Sanders County, has experienced a 488% increase in cases. Sanders County also has a low 36% vaccination rate. A county health officer in Sanders County has resigned because he is being threatened by anti-vaxx and Ivermectin proponents in the county. They are protesting mandated vaccines and mask wearing. They have also come out and blocked the entrance to the local health clinic (not clear why). The Sanders county resignation is one of 17 in the state of Montana. There are over 300 such resignations in counties across the US. The entire health department of Pondera County MT resigned over not being able to do their job of protecting public health. Health commissioners are frustrated with the threats and the lack of support from government and the public. They have also pointed out that for decades we have been pulling funds and support from local health districts. The Sanders County health officer believes that in order to maintain public health, vaccines, social distancing and masking are essential. He is being attacked for that position and so are hundreds of other public health workers and officers.
The governor of Montana, Greg Gianforte, has put Montana on the map by passing legislation that forbids local governments and employers from mandating vaccines and masks. There is a lawsuit filed to overturn this law. Gianforte is an ultra conservative. He is the politician who body-checked a local reporter a few years ago, so public violence and physical bullying are not strangers to him.
I bring this up because the debates we are holding here about the topic of Covid 19 and how to end the pandemic are playing out in real life across the country. Greg Gianforte is a political poster child for those who call for total freedom from any governmental mandates and incursions into a person's right to make their own health choices (unless, of course, you are a woman who wants reproductive freedom). My main residence is in Kentucky. Our Covid numbers there are terrible and our vaccination rate is still much lower than the national average. KY has a liberal governor who has lost the battle in terms of public health to a totally conservative legislature that has taken the same POV as Gianforte.
Bottom line. What I see is two states who have strong anti-vaxx camps, very visible proponents of Ivermectin, and very high case and death numbers from Covid. Take what you wish from this information. I just thought it was important to add it to the conversation.

You can’t end the epidemic with leaky vaccines
There have been enough articles on that posted here that you can only support your position if you haven’t read them. Mandates won’t do crap for it either because the vaccines do not kill the virus which causes them to both mutate and become deadlier. Plus the virus lives in animals..
For a great explanation on what could happen with this virus read this. They vaccinated chickens…and that didn’t work out very well at all.
https://www.pbs.org/newshour/science/tthis-chicken-vaccine-makes-virus-d...
Even the CDC has admitted that the more people get vaxxed the infections will rise in them. Paraphrasing but close. That essay you commented on the wotb this morning details why they won’t end it. Might want to read it again and see if you missed that part.
This "leaky" Vaccine stuff has been countered by the very
scientist that Joe Rogan and other anti-vaxxers have been circulating.
Here is just one article that points it out.
https://www.boomlive.in/world/fake-news-joe-rogan-covid-1-9-vaccine-sars...
It analyzed Marek's disease in poultry, which has plagued the agricultural industry for decades. The study found that for this disease and vaccine, immunization which stops serious illness but fails to stop the spread of disease can enhance "the fitness of more virulent strains" in the flock. The study said this is often called a "leaky" vaccine. However, the posts attributed to Lindsay extrapolate the logic to apply to the today's COVID-19 vaccines and variants. Read told AFP that this comparison is "irresponsible." The study deals with chickens, not humans, and a herpes virus, not a coronavirus. "Covid involves very different vaccines and viruses, and the biological details matter," Read said.
Dr Anna Durbin, an international health professor at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, also debunked the claim. "The Delta variant did not arise because of vaccines. The Delta variant arose out of natural competition with the Alpha variant," first identified in the United Kingdom. She noted that Delta arose in India in the absence of widespread vaccination against COVID-19.

CORONAVIRUS
Author of 2015 vaccine study 'terrified' his work is being misinterpreted
Penn State study examining the dangers of chicken vaccines has gone viral, fueling misconceptions about COVID-19 vaccines.
GOLDEN VALLEY, Minn. — The misinformation started on Facebook, with a post from a toxicologist claiming “…it is the vaccinated NOT [sic] the unvaccinated spreading the mutant variants.
That post spread through Facebook, Twitter and Instagram until its theory landed on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast garnering millions of views on YouTube alone.
The toxicologist said her theory is backed by science, due to the “classic” example of Marek’s disease in chickens from a 2015 study from Pennsylvania State University Professor of Biology and Entomology Andrew Read.
“I'm actually quite terrified that people could die because my work has been misinterpreted,” Read told KARE-11.
His study showed a vaccine for Marek’s disease prevented chickens from dying but still allowed the virus to spread freely between flocks. His team's work showed the herpesvirus mutated into a variant that became even deadlier for the unvaccinated chickens.

Some people, like this toxicologist, wrongly applied the logic of Read’s study to the current COVID-19 pandemic, coming up with the vaccines-equal-deadlier-variants conclusion.
“I guess what I found irresponsible about the way that Rogan covered it was the implication that it’s bound to make things worse and the implication that the only solution is to stop the vaccination,” said Read.
He said vaccines don't cause viruses to mutate, replication does. The more a virus spreads, the more chances it gets to randomly improve.
Here's an important difference between the vaccine given to the chickens and the SARS-CoV-2 vaccines given to humans right now.

Just because states have proponents of ivermectin
doesn't tell us anything at all about their actual use.
You missed some...
https://www.bozemandailychronicle.com/ap_news/ivermectin-advocates-push-...
more...With the increase in prescriptions, comes an increase in overdoses, whether prescribed, or bought from the internet. DPHHS also reports an increase in calls to poison control as people ingest forms of ivermectin that are meant for animals.
This year in Montana, poison control has received seven calls relating to ivermectin, compared to only one call last year. There have also been seven emergency room visits for patients claiming to have taken the drug. No emergency room visits were reported involving ivermectin last year.
One of the reasons the health officer in Sanders county resigned was because a man accused him of killing his wife by refusing to give her Ivermectin. The local government is so beset with the numbers of the Ivermectin proponents, they did not give this official the support he needed to stay in his job.
So now we see Ivermectin proponents using threats and lawsuits to force their views on others.
This is OK with you?
"Without the right to offend, freedom of speech does not exist." Taslima Nasrin
Did you even read the link you gave?
“When dosed appropriately and given under the care of a physician it’s one of the safest drugs on the market,” Moring said. “People are getting COVID and they’re getting scared and they think more is better — and that’s why it’s getting a bad rap.”
“Ivermectin is not an anti-viral (a drug for treating viruses),” according to the website. “The FDA has NOT approved it for use in treating or preventing COVID-19 in humans.”
Hundreds of drugs have "off label" uses. A good example is aspirin (another drug originally found in nature like ivermectin) which was originally used for pain, fever and inflammation I is now used extensively as a safe prophylactic for heart attacks and strokes. The ONLY drugs the CDC has authorized to treat COVID-19 is Veklury (remdesivir), (IV) sarilumab or oral tofacitinib and only after hospital admittance for very severe cases. All other cases you are told to stay at home, isolate and call the hospital if you are short of breath. People have been turned away because they weren't "sufficiently" short of breath and have died as a result.
"Moring, who is executive director of a wellness center at Tallahatchie General Hospital in the town of Charleston, said she isn’t against inoculations in general, but believes COVID vaccines present unnecessary risks. She went to a group called Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance for help getting an ivermectin prescription."
The drug companies are now working on oral drugs that function in the very same mechanism that ivermectin works.
When asked why the FDA and CDC warned against ivermectin, Moring said it comes down to money. She pointed to the $3.2 billion the administration is devoting to developing new antivirals.
“But we already have one. It’s just that there’s no money in it,” Moring said, echoing a common conspiracy theory that the government is working with big pharma companies to maximize profits. “Ivermectin is about as cheap as it comes.”
Again, you have said absolutely nothing about the situation in Bangladesh and India where COVID-19 is treated with ivermectin on a huge scale without using vaccinations. How to account for the differences in their death rate compared to the US?
Ivermectin use is on the rise in the US, despite what naysayers like yourself say. This following is just for prescription rates for insurance claims. I would estimate there are orders of magnitude larger population that are using it. Maybe this will turn around the horrendous death rate for COVID-19 the US has been experiencing for the last 4-6 months.
You may want to take note the NIH does allow the use of ivermectin. Unfortunately, Big Pharma has a vested interest in NOT funding the testing of the generic ivermectin in a multi-million study. This not the first time and it will not be the last time. These companies have a rapacious need to cover their bottom line. We only need to look to their history of greed that puts people's health and well-being second to profits.
I gave the link to demonstrate that the Ivermectin
crowd is not being censored in Montana, which could be a factor in the poisonings. You claim that everything is being censored when it comes to IVM and it is just the opposite.
