Is the medical establishment finally admitting that conspiracy theorists have been right all along?

This pandemic has been built upon a foundation of lies and mistruths,  After about a month this became apparent to those of us who actually question what information we receive from the government, so called experts, mainstream media, and social media.  Things just didn’t add up to those of  us who do not blindly follow what those in authority were spewing about the Wuhan Virus and the draconian measures governments at all levels were imposing on their people. 

Those of us free thinkers seek news and information from a very wide pool of knowledge. We examine and evaluate evidence from all sides.  We make up our own minds about what we discover, after careful deliberation.  What we discovered angered us because we learned that just about everything governments and experts told us was a pack of lies and untruths.  There was no scientific or medical basis at all for the draconian lockdowns, mask mandates, vaccine mandates, vaccine passports, and social distancing.

We shared what we we discovered on social media and were labeled conspiracy theorists and science deniers.  We were constantly fact checked by FaceBook and Twitter, and had the bandwidth of our accounts severely limited, or even suspended, for sharing “misinformation,”

A couple of weeks ago Joe Biden actually spoke the truth.  He admitted that there is no federal solution to the Coronavirus pandemic.  It is as if certain members the medical establishment took this as a cue to actually begin telling the truth.

For about twenty months all of us conspiracy theorists have stated that hospitals were inflating the number of people hospitalized with Coronavirus by not differentiating between those who were hospitalized with Coronavirus, and those that were hospitalized for other reasons, and subsequently tested positive for that virus.  New York City was the first to break the dam by telling the truth on this.  Check out this tweet.

This article Massachusetts to Change How It Reports Coronavirus Hospitalizations, very pleasantly surprised me because it confirms the same truth.

Nearly two years into the pandemic, Massachusetts hospitals will make a distinction between patients who were hospitalized “for” coronavirus and those who were hospitalized “with” the virus.

Massachusetts’ Department of Public Health (DPH) announced on Thursday the coronavirus reporting changes would begin next week, noting whether hospitalizations are “primary or incidental” to coronavirus.

Fellow conspiracy theorists have also been stating that all of the mandates are a tremendous over reaction because Coronavirus is only truly fatal to those in poor medical condition to begin with.  The CDC director confirmed we were telling the truth.

We’ve been stating for many months that the mRNA vaccines were ineffective, proving that vaccine mandates were not backed by science or medicine.  We were right.  Check out this article: Pfizer CEO: Our Vaccines Offer ‘Limited, If Any Protection’

Speaking during remarks to a J.P. Morgan healthcare conference this week, Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla openly stated current vaccines the company developed for Wuhan coronavirus offer “limited, if any” protection against contracting current variants of the disease. He then encouraged booster shots. 

We the conspiracy theorists have been stating very forcefully that the mRNA vaccines are dangerous, causing heart complications and blood clotting.  I predict that in the near future we will be proved right by the medical establishment. 

Report from Louisiana: Why is Covid testing still so difficult to find?

SHREVEPORT – One of the benefits of retiring from the classroom is that I no longer pay attention to the hysterical headlines about Covid, whether there will be another national shutdown, how high the case count is, and what the spread rate among school children may be.

I don’t pay attention to any of it. I don’t read it.

So, that being said, I may be a bit behind the curve on what’s what in Covidland.

What I do know is this: my and my spouse both had Covid in January last year. It wasn’t fun. But hey! Natural immunity!

And call us sheep if you must, be we both opted to be vaxxed and boosted, but that’s our own personal choice and I think that’s how it should be. Personal choice, like a flu shot.

There’s been a Covid outbreak at our church in the past couple of weeks; that is, several people have tested positive. Everyone is doing fine, nothing to worry about, but today my husband thought maybe he should get tested. He’d been directly exposed and has been feeling a bit under the weather for a couple of days.

We went to Ochsner Quick Care so he could get tested. This is where we both went last year in January and at that time we were in and out quickly. Today, it was going to be a two hour wait for a test.

Seriously?!

We went across the street to a Velocity Care and it was a three hour wait there.

He said never mind, came home, and decided to just self-monitor and self-isolate if necessary. He felt well enough to get out and do his daily three mile walk so I guess all is well.

But my question is why in the world at this point in this pandemic are we having to wait two and three hours for a nasal swab?!  I’ve seen people posting do-it-yourself swab tests but there are none to be found around here and even if you could they’re at least $30.

Something is just upside down it seems to me. 

I can’t bear these polarized discussions about Covid; that’s not my point here. I know people who have died from Covid, some with comorbidities and some not.  (Those with comorbidities, by the way, were living just fine with diabetes or COPD until Covid got them). The politicizing of the pandemic has been absurd, if you ask me, and caused much more harm that ever should have been the case.

Anyway, not to tread those waters, but I would be interested in knowing why it’s so damn hard to get a test now, two years into this pandemic and when this is supposedly basically a harmless variant.

I was happier in my oblivion.

Government mandates and the Overton Window

Posted: January 6, 2022 by Jon Fournier in Uncategorized

If the founding fathers of this nation were alive today they would be absolutely outraged that the federal government, state governments, and local governments are imposing vaccine mandates, implementing vaccine passports, and subjecting countless millions to mask mandates.  They would be outraged because they worked tirelessly and shed a veritable ocean of blood to break away from the tyrannical British monarchy. They would be distraught that we have allowed the federal government, state governments, and local governments to become far more tyrannical than the British ever were.

The founding fathers of the United States created a country where freedom and liberty formed this nation’s bedrock and foundation.  They left us a Constitution and Bill of Rights to preserve our freedom and liberty.  In these three articles The Right of Conscience is being obliterated by vaccine mandates, With the vaccine mandate the Biden Regime has now become a petty dictatorship, and Vaccine Passports would be unconstitutional, immoral, and unscientific I proved that vaccine passports and vaccine mandates violate the US Constitution and state constitutions.

Some federal courts have set aside the Biden vaccine mandate, only to be overturned by a higher court.  I am unaware of  single court overturning any state or local mandate.  I have no hope that any will.  I have no hope that the Supreme Court will set things right because they abandoned the Constitution decades ago.  The same is true of all levels of the United States court system.

For the past twenty months I have been shocked and saddened that the American people have not risen up and put a stop to all of this freedom and liberty destroying nonsense. Far too may blindly accept what is going on.  None of this was even remotely acceptable during the founding period of the United States.  That generation would have grabbed their muskets and pitch forks a week or so into this nightmare.  Succeeding generations have allowed a gradual eroding of freedom and liberty through a process called the Overton Window

The Overton Window is a model for understanding how ideas in society change over time and influence politics. The core concept is that politicians are limited in what policy ideas they can support — they generally only pursue policies that are widely accepted throughout society as legitimate policy options. These policies lie inside the Overton Window. Other policy ideas exist, but politicians risk losing popular support if they champion these ideas. These policies lie outside the Overton Window.

But the Overton Window can both shift and expand, either increasing or shrinking the number of ideas politicians can support without unduly risking their electoral support. Sometimes politicians can move the Overton Window themselves by courageously endorsing a policy lying outside the window, but this is rare. More often, the window moves based on a much more complex and dynamic phenomenon, one that is not easily controlled from on high: the slow evolution of societal values and norms.

Progressives have proved to be experts at using the Overton Window to steadily transform the United States from a freedom and liberty loving Constitutional Republic into a nation of meek sheep that more closely resembles a socialist democracy.  They have accomplished this through the culture war and decades of indoctrination at all levels of education, through the mainstream news, leftist Hollywood, and courts such as the Supreme Court. 

The only way to fight this is by yanking the window back to where it belongs, where it was right after the ratification of the Constitution and Bill Rights.  The only way to accomplish this is by spreading the truth on social media and through mass demonstrations.

All government mandates, no matter how beneficial they are, destroy freedom and liberty. Because of this they violate the U S Constitution, and state constitutions if they are on the state or local level. Even state and local vaccine mandates mandating children receive extremely safe and effective vaccines such as the MMR and Polio vaccines violate the freedom and rights of the parents to make medical decisions for their children. With this article I am not attacking vaccines or the science behind vaccines, only the mandating of vaccines. I know the courts and I disagree. That is proof that the courts abandoned the Constitution a great many decades ago.

There is no medical or scientific proof that vaccine mandates aid in the fight against diseases in any way. I know for a fact that there is a large minority of individuals in this country who will not do something specifically because it was mandated by government, no matter how beneficial it is. If governments want to ensure that the highest percentage of the population is vaccinated against certain diseases, they will inform and educate us of the medical and scientific benefits of that vaccine. Nagging and pestering us is acceptable. Mandating and coercing is not acceptable because this is a free country.

Report from (South) Louisiana: Good food, Good Times, and Happy New Year

ARNAUDVILLE LA – Welcome 2022! I did not post last week – you may not have noticed (ha!).  As you may or may not recall I retired from teaching in May. As a state employee in Louisiana, I did not pay into Social Security but instead into the Teachers Retirement System for the state. However, previous private sector jobs means that a little Social Security dividend may be on the horizon if I can get nine more quarters. So, I have picked up a part time job working as the secretary at my church. It is a nice three-day a week gig, 18 hours, and eventually I’ll get my nine quarters. All that to say, I didn’t post last week because I was juggling off days so I could go out of town over the New Year’s weekend.

There’s no way I was staying in Shreveport over New Year’s weekend, I mean…seriously. Guns fired in the air…sounding like a third world country.

We spent the past week in my beloved south Louisiana, in a tiny town called Arnaudville, which I love. The population here is about 1500, but we are 15 miles from Breaux Bridge, about 25 miles from Lafayette, an hour away from Baton Rouge, and a little further than that from New Orleans but I don’t need to go to NOLA except to see the WWII museum. 

I’m sure I’ve waxed rhapsodic about my Cajun paradise before, but man it has been a great week. You’ll never find friendlier people anywhere on the planet – of this I am convinced.

This part of Louisiana is a conservative bastion. NOLA is another story, but Cajun Country is ultra conservative. We have had very interesting conversations with people here and met many like minds. As a rule, these Cajun people are hard-working, family oriented, and faith based. Work hard, play hard.

It is depressing to think about returning to Shreveport this week. Shreveport is a culinary desert. Nothing but chain restaurants and heavy on the Mexican and Chinese. You would think that just three hours to the north of Arnaudville I could get decent seafood, but you would be wrong. I can get decent frozen seafood, but here, in south Louisiana I can get seafood fresh and prepared in delicious sauces that would make you weep. Lump crabmeat topped with crawfish etouffee, hot steaming crawfish seasoned with a spicy Cajun blend, and fried alligator so tender it melts in your mouth.

We have stocked our freezer in our Air BnB with food to take home: chicken thighs stuffed with boudin and pepperjack cheese, wrapped in bacon; a pork roast stuffed with bell peppers, onions, and garlic, a pork chops stuffed with crawfish dressing. I can’t get food like this three hours from here.

Last night we went to a local brewery famous for their beer of course, but also their wood fired pizza. My favorite is the Alien Autopsy which is topped with a spicy tasso ham, andouille sausage, and candied jalapenos. For New Year’s Day they offered an eggroll stuffed with black eyed peas and shredded cabbage. We listened to live Zydeco music, people danced under the live oaks, and we talked with a local business owner for hours about the state of our country. His recommendation, in short, is for all the producers to just go “off the grid” and quit feeding the system. Quit supporting the welfare state.

He may not be wrong.

Here in Arnaudville, there are two Catholic churches served by the same priest. He is fabulous. To attend an Episcopalian service, we’d have to drive into Lafayette, probably.  So, when here, we walk down half a block to the Catholic church and listen to Fr. Travis. He is young, energetic, and always on point. His sermons are amazing. And I love a town where you can go to the brewery to hear a live Cajun jam, order a pizza, and run into the priest. We were able to visit with Fr. Travis today and discuss several theological questions we had while the fiddles and accordians played sad Cajun ballads and lively dance tunes across the room.

I hope we can move here soon and get out of Shreveport. My son is in nursing school, starting clinicals, and I don’t want to move off until he is on his own two feet. But man alive, I can’t wait to get out of Shreveport. Life is short and I want to spend the rest of my time in a happy place with good food, good music, good people.

Here’s hoping the New Year brings good things to us all.
