Poor Canada... More and more and more countries around the world are dropping ALL their travel and domestic covid restrictions. Meanwhile, certain Canadians call for more restrictions. Very odd and disturbing behavior.

On the other, a grassroots group of mostly pro-bono (many fired/canceled for their views) doctors, PhDs, experts touting another.

I've been from one side of the planet to the other over the last 3 weeks. Zero masks in Armenia. Zero masks in Warsaw. 1% masking in London. 10% masking in JFK/NYC. Arrive home in a small east coast town in the Boston area? 30% masked. Pure madness. Fear embodied.🤦♂️

Then why is this still policy?
“Air Travel: All non-U.S. citizen, non-U.S. immigrants traveling to the United States by air are required to show proof of being fully vaccinated against COVID-19.”

I find it evil and despicable that some are celebrating, due to government mandate, the firing or removal of essential workers who have toiled these 18 months. It's difficult finding redeemable qualities in any who believe this is worth celebrating.
I hope you're not one of them.

4 out of 5 commercials were Big Pharma pushing new drugs for mood disorders, diabetes, STDs, weight management, or all of the above. No wonder the masses are programmed to accept anything Big Pharma and Media push. It's ubiquitous.

I'm becoming convinced that people with disorders are driving policy. Those who are touch averse, anxiety ridden, fearful of connection, germophobic, and hypochondriacs are driving policy to make everyone else live like them. It's sad.

One can only hope a counterrevolution will take place, a Great Reawakening, that will lead Westerners back to the core principles of both genuine science & the faith tradition that inspired Zev Zelenko to become a great doctor & an even greater human being
One of the biggest mistakes people make when advocating for and passing new laws/punishments is to not consider how that law would be administered in the hands of their worst enemies. 🤔
Response to the pandemic: lockdowns, mandates, restrictions, closing businesses, stopping commerce… these are the causes of inflation, soaring prices, crime spikes, frustrations, shootings. Not Putin. Not 1/6. It’s so obvious even Captain Obvious is looking at you sideways 😒
Biden is not America. Putin is not Russia. Jinping is not China. Zelenskyy is not Ukraine… An individual is not a collective as a collective is not an individual. War collectively destroys individuals.
I hug people and shake hands every chance I get. Been doing it all year. Living life normally in all places that make it possible. I will seek out more people and places to interact with and within as normal. This other approach is abnormal.
It still amazes me how many people I thought were "Question Authority!" types who are now the biggest supporters of state and government powers. It just goes to show that they were never really principled people. They were only seeking the power for themselves.

Virtually 100% (99.9%) fatal after onset of symptoms unless vaccinated. It is the deadliest virus on the planet.
Found this interesting chart today from April of 2020. "How they beat Covid-19."
Since then South Korea, Greece, Austria, Iceland, Croatia & Slovenia out pace USA in total cases per million, while Slovenia, Slovakia, Croatia, & Greece are far above in deaths per million. Win!🤦♂️

Amazing! The difference in tone between these people is palpable. All the GBD offered was choice, a debate, and a second opinion. All of the language I've seen coming from the other side is "there is no debate, we will take you down, the science is settled, shut up, sit down!"
New email dump showing Anthony Fauci and Francis Collins coordinating a propaganda campaign to attack the Great Barrington declaration last October. More coming soon so here's a teaser...
The “Covid Crisis Group” met with funding from the Rockefeller & Koch Foundation & slapped together this report. Despite being celebrated as definitive by the New York Times & Washington Post, it has no credibility.

Eugenics: socially normalized in ways we never anticipated or imagined. A rush toward a singularity that, for all intents and purposes, is a collectivist's wet dream.
Whenever I see someone arguing that any of the mandates or lockdowns saved lives, I think of the utter idiocy that accompanied the propaganda. This gaslighting and spin is all too obvious. A grotesque caricature of profound absurdity.
My children all homeschooled. But here’s the thing. We paid for that education, my wife and I…while also paying taxes that fund government schools. How about freeing up those funds and giving parents, children, families, and communities better choices? 🤔
As a Brazilian-American who spent most of my early years in Brazil, I support free speech over the insanity of Lula and his corrupt administration. Socialism is death for Brazil. The people need to take back their country.
