Thank you for your brilliant takedown of pseudoscience and its malevolent practitioners, Doctor. I'll be quite busy perusing the insightful links you've provided and instantiating your relevant and timely analyses within my conceptual framework.
Your commentary is a cautionary tale for us all, a grim reminder to convey only verifiable facts and abjure the calumny and distraction inherent in fallacious forms of ad hominem.
It is just this sort of communication that will result in an epiphany, an awakening in the minds of a naive and credulous public. The perilously misguided rebellion against reason that has overtaken a small but vocal cohort must be stopped at any cost, compelling the misguided public to return to the fold, where they abashedly regain their will to submit to whatever dictates a wise and benevolent partnership between disinterested industrial concerns and selfless government leadership may proffer.
You are leading the charge against misinformation, but many others must follow your example if the bright light of reason is to triumph over the entirely unwarranted mistrust of public health authorities.
How anyone could doubt that messenger ribonucleic acid genetic expression technology is perfectly safe and effective, defies imagination. It's comforting to know that wiser and cooler heads are beginning to prevail.
Wow, you have some serious social issues there, Hickie. You might want to see a shrink. We're here for rational discourse. But hey - you do you. Show your colors with every stinking post.
Side note, I just had a realization. My old man would wake up, and drink his coffee while reading the newspaper. For the past few months, I whip out my tablet, get my coffee and wake up to reading Substack.
Substack is the modern day newspaper. Peak progress. A newspaper where you get to choose what articles by which authors you want to read. Imagine telling your parents back in the day, “in the future, newspapers will only be articles written by authors you like.”
Yes, a newspaper where all the writers (at least, that we choose to read), have integrity. Many read what we say in the comments, some reply. Where old school communication like words is used. Where there aren't multiple distracting things all over the page.
I never thought I would love anything resembling social media ... but I love Substack ...
Yes, part of that integrity is the quality of many the comments, giving us readers reasoned arguments/premises and supporting links to related data. Great stuff!
I typically avoid stuff that counts on imagery and appeals to emotion because I don't want my emotion to override my objectivity but this was worth making the exception.
The shot of the playground reminds me when they closed ours down and we walking past it and I got the impulse to go on vacation somewhere to get away from it..and that wierd realization there was nowhere in the world we could go. (I mean probably Florida) But still the global scale of it hit home.
"It’s an artist’s duty to reflect the times" - There is a brilliant artist near where I live who had an artwork painted over 2 days after it's debut in May of 2021 because it had the phrase "Let Us Breathe" written on the mask.
It was everything great art should be. Beautiful, timely, thought provoking. The artist was Elena Bushan. Here is a link to the art the "authorities" painted over.

What's funny is the fact that you show your intense biases with every post, and you're not intelligent enough to see it.

Yet here we are.
I tend to read a few by total nincompoops too - "balance"...;>)
I, too, read my stacks over my morning coffee. Best way to start the day (well, on your own, at least).

This version was older, but lacked musical accompaniment...
I might be biased, but it's pretty good too, lol:

I’m gonna see what we can do about putting this to music. The lyrics are genius!
Brilliant words ...
Dr. Jack - I'm one of the singers! Thanks for posting this...
Awesome!🙏
Well done, Diane!

The idiot authorities have never heard about the "Streisand Effect" I guess LMAO.
Profound… it touched my soul!
Humbled! 🙏
Amazing! Saving it as an icon of these times.
