That "How to report accounts" snitch page is particularly chilling. Straight out of Communist East Germany...or modern China.

Yep. Chilling, indeed. Mediaeval Salem vibes, too.

OM(F)G...I totally missed that. And I grew up in the area.

I think given the chance they'd still be burning "witches". Did you watch Netflix "Wednesday"?

Oh, the burning is still happening, make no mistake - it's just taken on a new form: injections, mandates, shaming, quarantine, you name it.

Nope. I cancelled Netflix to help save my brain from further atrophy! 😂 No implication intended there. Your Substack attendance helps mitigate that. 😉

I proposed charging a number of elected officials with practicing medicine without a license. I did medical school, in Germany, in German, and failed to be licensed for individual unsupervised practice because I could not pass the surgery rotation. My first practice tracheotomy I beheaded the dummy. I wound up completing the equivalent of the first year of a psychiatry residency. The basics of epidemiology haven't changed. Specifically, the basics of dealing with a respiratory viral infection haven't changed.

By February 2020 we knew that there was little if any danger to those under seventy and neither obese nor immune-compromised. We had learned with the Spanish Flu that outside was better than indoors. So, states with governments inclined toward authoritarianism ordered everybody kept indoors and treated as though they all had identical threat profiles. Other states made other choices.

The deliberate obfuscation of scientific debate was criminal. I thought initially that, since I understood messenger RNA technology that it was safe. I know better now.
