The more liberal the worse the discrimination and intolerance. I USED to be liberal, but I can no longer in good conscience support this hate that is based on lies and easily verifiable.
I have noticed the same trend. The liberals who shout about #mybodymychoice from the rooftops--as well as about inclusion and equal rights for all--are the ones who are the most canceling of anyone who is unable or unwilling to get vaccinated. They may not realize it, but they are playing into a Big Pharma agenda in the saddest and worst possible way.
My body my choice is only for execution of babies. I live in the Midwest and we are mostly free from facist idiots. Health care and education are still using covid as an excuse to shame and demean people. Luckily, my immediate family members are strong, critical thinkers! Here is an excellent substack article. Stay strong and welcome to the right coast!
I too once considered myself rather 'liberal' although 'anarchist' was closer to reality. However, now that 'liberals' have ALL morphed into LIBTARDS, I would be VERY INSULTED if someone made the mistake of identifying me as 'liberal' and they would DEFINITELY GET A FUCKING EARFUL FOR IT!!!
Succinctly written and on target. This is exactly why I quit being a democrat! Bobby Kennedy wrote a new book for liberals who became shills for big Pharma due to Obamacare when Obama struck a deal with Big Pharma. From then on the Democrat party started shilling for their biggest funder. Big Pharma now dominates the liberal agenda
It's bizarre, isn't it, that Big Pharma dominates the liberal agenda? They KNOW that the opioid epidemic was courtesy of this industry. Yet when it comes to the Holy Grail of vaccines, the same money grubbing pharmaceutical executives can do no wrong. Why anyone would want to fund their golf course purchases, private yachts, and luxury condos in Boston (I'm referring to that recent article in the Wall Street Journal) is beyond me.
I watched Dopesick some months ago, which by the way is excellent. Hari Sreenivasan interviewed one of the actors. Below is towards the end of the interview.
SREENIVASAN: You know, John, I wonder — this is a spoiler alert for the audience, but when you figured out that the person at the FDA who helped write the rules for how OxyContin could be distributed went to work for Purdue Pharma afterward, what went through your mind?
HOOGENAKKER: We have to — as best as we can, we have to keep stories like this alive. Not just instances like the one you mentioned, Hari, but stories like how the opioid crisis came to be in this country. We have to demonstrate that it’s important to us and we have to push lawmakers to pass things like the Sackler Act. I looked it up this morning and it’s stuck — it’s bouncing around in subcommittees, it’s currently in the anti-trust commercial and administrative loss committee They’re just passing it around. I think it looks good, but I don’t know. Why don’t you have a look at it? No, I think it looks, but I don’t know. Why don’t you? And then, you know, another election happens. The country moves in a different direction and maybe nothing happens. And this is how it goes on and on and on. But we cannot become complacent. It’s very important that when we’re given the opportunity to vote, that we get out and make it happen.
It was watching Dopesick where the term "Breakthrough Pain" was used by Purdue to get the FDA to allow higher doses of oxycontin. And of course the FDA, CDC, and the media all use breakthrough covid instead of injection failure, because we all knew these injections would not stop transmission or infection. And on that point, Democrats are the most deluded and dangerous.
I just hope Michael Keaton is in the movie about the covid vaccine playing the lawyer that uncovers the fraud and puts every last one of these evil grifters in prison. He’d kill in that!
Bobby said that prior to Obamacare Democrats wouldn't accept campaign money from dirty industries like NRA, tobacco, gas, oil & Big Pharma. This left Democrats with funding from trade unions and trial lawyers. When Obama struck the deal with Big Pharma to pass Obamacare, suddenly Big Pharma became acceptable. That's how the Democrats became the party of vaccine mandates and lockdown liberals.
If Billy (from the) Gates (of hell) would simply stop “helping humanity” by injection and maybe dig some wells and buy people some cows & chickens instead, he could possibly regain the pedestal from whence he used to rule.
Thank you for continuing to work towards getting the truth out there. The madness here continues. I have a public records access request pending that inquires about vaccination status for the 11 deaths with covid in the post vaccine era. When I let my former friends know, and I hypothesize that all 11 deaths are most likely in fully vaccinated residents, they still can't admit that the vaccines aren't doing what they are expected to. Even if this turns out to be true that no unvaccinated people with covid have passed, and that 80%+ covid cases are in the fully vaccinated, and that we have bulletproof evidence that our dear friend died from the shot, none of it buys us back into ordinary civic life. It is time to admit that I live in an open air psych ward.
I had not heard of the death of Sara White. Conspicuously that has gone unreported by Berkeleyside, our local paper. As has the death of Phillip Geissler, a 48 year old chemistry professor. Both are sad. Hard to say if they are vaccine related. Scores of people in their 30s and 40s one or two degrees from me have died in the last 18 months though. Only one thing seems to be different.
My heart sinks to read this story, Dan, but this is a battle cry, isn't it? Thank you. I live in a similar open air psych ward (ha- love this!) in Marin County which loves to tout "Most Vaccinated County in the Nation" including 1/3 of our under 5 year olds. Criminal. I too have navigated this with a VaxFree teenager - -it's been traumatizing. I have spent the past several months nursing Covid infected, vaccinated friends. Many getting it more than once. Still - no one questions anything or expresses concern. Daughters with menstruation issues, aggressive cancers, friends suddenly in wheelchairs. Nope. Not the shots. The trance is strong.
We’ve been saying that for years as the tolerance of the meth and heroin addicted and mentally Ill and homeless makes it feel like an open air psych ward. Now, it’s a different kind of psych ward. A psych ward of intolerant “intellectuals” caught in a dangerous group think.
Had there been an 800# here to call to turn in the unvaccinated, nearly everyone I know from my sister in law to my old best friend would have called to do it.
The fight is getting tiresome but I wouldn’t change a thing. Fight here now or fight somewhere else later. That’s how I see it. At least these leftist losers aren’t willing to engage beyond slander and through the bureaucracy. I’m sure I’ve been put here for this battle! Ultimately it’s a battle for western values that everyone here is super eager to destroy.
Jennifer, you know how to shine your light on the inequities of the "health"care (jabbed) agenda. I lived in the Bay area in the early 70's. Berkeley was the bastion of "Free-speech" and tolerance. Alternate opinions and ideas were once welcome. Now, it seems the emphasis is on freedom to discrimate if you don't adhere to the propaganda line. The programming has been so ingrained that, despite empirical evidence to the contrary, the hard-liners are clinging to their programmed beliefs.
Thank you so much for posting this and shedding light on the pain so many of us have felt from the discrimination and intolerance from our community, friends, and neighbors right here in Ashland, Oregon. I have been ridiculed by friends that I had for 10+ years, harassed by neighbors about proper quarantining, had my kids rejected from playdates due to parent's "vax status" and so much more. When I have aired my concerns about discriminatory political views being aired at Ashland Public Schools my emails have been completely ignored by the superintendent. At this point the only solution seems like to move away to a more tolerant community.
I knew 25 families that left Oregon before we considered finding a more free and open place to be. The West Coast is so discriminatory it takes my breath away. That said, there are SO MANY wonderful people who live in Ashland and it is such a fabulous town (and the Ashland Food Co-op BARRED my friend's son who has cerebral palsy from entering. He cannot wear a mask because he has occluded nasal passage ways and they did not honor his medical exemption. It's. So. Sick. I will never shop there again.)
this is so heart breaking to hear. Especially because people think of liberals as educated, tolerant, inclusive. How educated are they if they don't study what is going on outside their American bubble? Most of Europe accepted prior infection or a negative test for the Covid Passes we once needed to use to enter restaurants, swimming pools and some events. The vaccine was offered and I have a lot of expat friends who took it - (most expats are liberal and very educated), but many local Swiss did not take it. Nobody asks or cares. Everyone has now caught Omicron and nobody even discusses the vaccine or Covid any longer. I pray for America.
Thank you. Allopathic medicine has become a loser in all this too. As a nurse of over 55 years, I have lost my faith in conventional medicine in most instances. My husband died on Feb '22 with COVID complications. He ended up in the ICU bc the hospital insisted on following their protocol even tho it didn't work; and tho we fought them we weren't allowed to visit until after he was ventilated. To give these vaccines to kids is unconscionable. And they will continue to sweep these deaths under the rug bc it doesn't fit their agenda.
I'm a nurse too. I have always felt like a square peg in a round hole at my hospital, due to my preference for alternate therapies, and health care (as opposed to sickness care). One day I even told a patient in ED that if she was admitted for her sudden low back pain, she would end up having surgery, and she might want to consider seeing a chiropractor first. Now, more than ever, my faith in the 'healthcare system' is very minimal. My sympathies to you.
Oh yeah, I was also fired for refusing the jab. Here in Australia, the mandates for the 3 initial inoculations plus ongoing boosters are still in force.
I am so very sorry. So much collateral intentional damage that will go on for years. All the strides made in the name of medicine is now a huge black hole.
Thank you. Great article too. I wish it hadn't needed writing. My husband and I are quietly noting the 'coincidences' that are happening with health matters. My fit and healthy brother (3 jabs) died suddenly in December from a brain bleed. My son-in-law had an unexpected seizure (they said it was his meds for cluster headaches - could be?) and his best friend suddenly developed type 1 diabetes in his 30s (they said it was because of his appendicitis). Many people I know have said they've never been so sick before the pandemic - repeat or prolonged colds, flu, coughs. I see 'sudden and unexpected' in the obituaries almost every day. The 18 yo healthy son of a former colleague died in his sleep after he finished his final school exams (leavers' camps were about to happen, and unvaxxed were not allowed to attend). And if we see the news, any reported deaths of younger than expected people are suspect. Given that more than 95% of Australians are allegedly jabbed, it's reasonable to assume these people took the juice. It's horrifying.
Isn't it just awful? And...we will never trust the medical establishment or the MSM again. We will be getting our information by word of mouth about healthy people dying. That will be the small spark that will turn into a mighty fire if we just keep at it. There is no hiding the truth forever.
Excellent. It's not much better in the NE though things have been getting easier here. Liberal strong-holds seem to be most susceptible to the spell. Thank you.
Here in France, kids were banned from playing the sports they love unless they were vaxxed. In rural SW France, where my sport mad nephews live, rugby and basketball is a way of life for hundreds of thousands of young people. They were banned from their teams, however, if they did not get vaccinated. Imagine that: at zero risk from the virus, yet forced to take an experimental treatment to participate in their sports.
To the East of Berkeley 2 hours, here in Nevada County CA, I found little white dots, 6 feet apart, painted all over the school yard. I saw kids running cross-country practice behind my house with masks on. On the school's main office bulletin board, near a County poster extolling masks, you'll also find a notice of pesticide application. Mostly I feel a great loss.
So odd that today I read that CCP— as in Chinese Communist Party has had a far bigger hand in all this than I ever imagined. Dr. Naomi Watts laid it all out in her substack responding to Media Matters’ David Brock calling Naomi a liar, in response to Steve Kirsch’s stats saying hundreds of thousands have been killed by the vax. Y’all should find it.
Berkeley backing anything CCP + medical treatment would have seemed unthinkable in prior years.
Tell me about it. Family and friends of decades duration do not want to associate with me or even be Facebook friends, as they apparently don't want to risk seeing anything I might post anymore since their name-calling on social media didn't stop me from posting items that contradict their narrative.
The more liberal the worse the discrimination and intolerance. I USED to be liberal, but I can no longer in good conscience support this hate that is based on lies and easily verifiable.

They may not realize it, but they are playing into a Big Pharma agenda in the saddest and worst possible way.
My body my choice is only for execution of babies. I live in the Midwest and we are mostly free from facist idiots. Health care and education are still using covid as an excuse to shame and demean people. Luckily, my immediate family members are strong, critical thinkers! Here is an excellent substack article. Stay strong and welcome to the right coast!

This is such a good article!
yes, the tolerance they ask for is never given first.
Yep. They don't view "DEI" as a two-way street.
I too once considered myself rather 'liberal' although 'anarchist' was closer to reality. However, now that 'liberals' have ALL morphed into LIBTARDS, I would be VERY INSULTED if someone made the mistake of identifying me as 'liberal' and they would DEFINITELY GET A FUCKING EARFUL FOR IT!!!

Right? What's so "progressive" and "left wing" about following Bill Gates over a cliff?
If Billy (from the) Gates (of hell) would simply stop “helping humanity” by injection and maybe dig some wells and buy people some cows & chickens instead, he could possibly regain the pedestal from whence he used to rule.
And they’re all convicted felons.
LIBTARDS. 'Liberals' all died out while wearing their idiot fucking FACE DIAPERS!
Let’s face it. Liberals are the New Democratic Party are the party of fascism. How can they call themselves democratic?
