Should we call this progress or kissing up to Jay Battacharya so NIH funding doesn't get cut off? In any case, yesterday's conspiracy theories are now mainstream news...5 years too late.
I beat the "great" Dr Fauci by 7 months when I said the virus could enter through your eyes, the masks were pointless, if not useless, the holes in the masks we had to wear were bigger than the virus.
I used to work as an RN in infectious disease, and I was saying the same thing about masks from the very beginning. People either laughed or yelled ugly things at me. At the time, one lady said she had seen clear bubbles that wrapped around the neck and completely cut off the air supply. 🤯 She said it had “no airflow whatsoever”. 🙄😒 I congratulated her on finding a cure for COVID, because—death cures everything, right? No airflow = death. 😳 She actually thanked me for pointing out that giant elephant in the room. 🥰🙌🏻
You may have hit the nail right on the head. What happened to the Hippocratic Oath and “good science leads to more questions”? Ugh, I now have zero faith in mainstream medicine or mainstream media. 😥
Yes! Same! 🙋🏻♀️ I saw a revolving door of drug reps when I worked in a pediatric clinic, and mamas who made their own vaccine schedules or who refused some were vilified. I learned much when I worked there, and then I learned so much more when I worked for a different pediatrician who was fully open to alternatives. He was in the movie Vaxxed, but unfortunately he passed away from COVID early on. 😢
I agree! I’m sure any who did were threatened with losing their jobs. It truly felt like we were in an episode of The Twilight Zone. People would yell at me to “Trust the science!” and I would always ask, “Which science?” The rules just kept changing.
Great post! Had me laughing. Lone masked people in their cars with windows up (or not) was one of my very favorite circus acts. I sure hope to see that one again. Actually, thanks to the "bird flu" encore, I saw one the other day.
Unfortunately, I still see folks riding around by themselves with masks on. Sometimes they’re under their chin. Maybe their neck needs protecting. 🤷🏻♀️
You made a good point concerning the "apology" that folks need to understand and never forget.
You said, ""...I want an admission of guilt on the part of all news sources such as the Globe because it would signal to me that they "learned their lesson and will be less likely to make the same mistakes in the future.""
People should remember the biblical teaching that a "pig will return to wallowing in the mire". Unless evidence is presented that God has changed their hearts, one might well expect a repeat of the same thing if permitted opportunity. It's up to us not to allow that to ever happen again by learning why and how we ever permitted it to happen the first time and repenting and asking for His help to change us so that we will be wiser next time and follow "truth" rather than men. There are answers to this but the answers can only be received by "humble" hearts that are prepared and willing to receive those answers.
Bravo Leslie, Bravo.. Fortunately the circus left town, unfortunately the clowns and the main players are still around. Along with a very large part of the attendees that gave a standing ovation from the left and a large part of the right as well. Never forget..... I sure won't..
Great post. Humor is the only way to get through the insanity - seriously! Remember when "no symptoms" was a symptom? Natural immunity was no longer a thing? LOL. Remember the lotteries, free beer, employee bonuses offered to take an unproven and dangerous medical experiment? When restaurants and stores wanted proof of said protocol to enter and they had little dictators at the door to check? The coercion, wealth transfers and the massive media gaslighting?! Brought to you by Pfizer?! Losing family and friends because you noticed this wasn't about health and spoke up? Don't get vaxx'ed lose your job? Our governor actually had reader boards along the freeway that said Stay Safe Get Vaccinated! He then claimed thousands of lives were saved, with no proof.
Every time they threw marbles, I would adapt improvise and overcome. This was psychological warfare, no doubt, and actually it was the riots in June of 2020 that woke me up - people were suddenly exempt from wearing masks and I said "I'm out". I know manipulation, and never looked back. Great post and great reminder we can never let this happen again. Thanks Leslie.

I am surprised that more doctors didn't challenge this nonsense.
I'm convinced that one of the purposes of medical school is to kill all curiosity and create big pharma automatons.

Same. But before I had some faith in them but that faith was entirely undeserved. Now at least we have woken up to reality.

1984.
Exactly. 😏

I saw a lone masker in their car move their mask away to take a drag of their cigarette then put the mask back over. I died laughing. The irony!
Now that’s funny! 😆
Two thirds of the population are below the average intelligence, so no surprise.
Unfortunately, I still see folks riding around by themselves with masks on. Sometimes they’re under their chin. Maybe their neck needs protecting. 🤷🏻♀️
Sweet sarcasm, Leslie. Good job!

Wel written. Thanks
This is such a delightful walk through the stupidity of the past. Excellent reminder. Thank you!
