Hello Josh enjoyed listening to you speak today on Twitter and look forward to following a few of our rabbit holes here.

Awesome article, adding on. From January 2023, "My Path Forward", the key update would be that I am "no vaccine now":

_____________

In a perfect world, this is what I would like to see happen to begin to unravel this tangled web that vaccine safety advocates have been talking about for a long time and that Covid has brought to the mainstream discourse:

1) Repeal the 1986 Vaccine Act: Big Pharma needs to be held financially accountable for bad products and bad recommendations. If there is fraud, make the Big Pharma executives criminally accountable.

2) Abolish pharmaceutical Direct to Consumer media advertising. This will release the media from the chokehold that Big Pharma has as one of their top advertisers. The Media machine does not want to bite the hand of Big Pharma that feeds them.

3) Block the addition of the Covid-19 vaccine to the Childhood Vaccine schedule. There is absolutely no reason for it at this point for all the reasons stated earlier. And block any planned or future Covid-19 vaccine mandates for school-age children (California’s school Covid-19 vaccine requirement is on hold until at least July 2023).

4) Let’s look at the entirety of the “Vaccine Schedule”. I like this suggestion from Dr. Sylvia Fogel, “what we really need are trials that assess long-term off-target, non-specific effects that might influence a range of health outcomes not typically studied in relation to vaccination.”

5) Stop the censorship that has been prevalent in both mainstream and social media. Twitter is a start. Stop labeling anything that doesn’t fit the Big Pharma narrative ‘mis-information’. Allow free-flowing exchange of ideas. Allow people to really ‘follow the science’ – all the science, not just the version that is cherry-picked and spun that supports the vaccine narrative.

6) Repeal all remaining Covid 19 vaccine mandates. There are still hundreds of colleges that mandate the original vaccines as well as boosters. There are many cities and towns that mandate vaccines for municipal workers (NYC and LA County included – even visitors to NYC schools still have to be vaccinated - once again with the original series developed against an ancestral strain no longer in circulation!). We had a big win in New York State this past week when the healthcare worker mandate was struck down, thanks to our friend Mary Holland of Children’s Health Defense. They financed the lawsuit on behalf of Medical Professionals for Informed Consent. Promote informed consent, let individuals (and parents) do their own personal medical calculus (risk/benefit analysis) and decide for themselves.

7) The bigger picture: Support a fit and healthy lifestyle: Begin to address the underlying reasons why Covid-19 was so severe for so many people in this country. Start having the real conversations about health, diet, exercise, and fitness. Sure I had been an athlete all my life (walk-on Basketball player for Boston College, triathlete, runner), but Dustin Sweeney taught me the realities about ‘food is medicine’. We are an unhealthy, unfit country. From the CDC - 32% of adults over age 20 are overweight, 42% are obese; 10% have Diabetes, 13% smoke. Our answer to this during the Covid vaccine rollout was prioritizing shots for smokers and obese individuals. And Krispy Kreme rewarded the vaccinated with two free donuts every day for a week! We need as a society and a country to address these underlying co-morbidities that resulted in so many Covid deaths. We need to re-direct some of the money being poured into vaccine development and procurement to educating people on the importance of diet and exercise and providing them support to adopt and maintain a fit and healthy lifestyle that will in turn support a more robust immune system better suited to confront Covid or the next disease to come down the pike.

Fantasy, I know. But just raising awareness and having the dialogue (without fear of retribution) I think helps. A movement starts with a single step.

How it finishes

Now that I have gotten this off my chest, I go back to answering the BIG question for my wife and I, universal among parents with severely Autistic, non-verbal children: What happens when we die? To think of Dusty on this Earth without one of us to protect him, advocate for him, make decisions for him that are in his best interest (because he cannot), and love him like no one else will or should be expected to is gut-wrenching. My wife and I are striving to build a promising future for Dustin Sweeney and his friends, one filled with purpose, hope, and joy. We hope the integrated community we are helping to create at Endeavor21.org, becomes a model that will help other Autism families answer that big question.

I wrote this piece because I wanted and needed to share my position. I hope it helps some to reignite critical thinking skills and listen and discover and open their minds back up to considering alternate perspectives. But above everything else, I profoundly hope that respect and civility for viewpoints and positions that are different than ones’ own begins to creep back into the lexicon.

I love your work, makes it is easy to understand things even for people like me <3 and is very well documented! <3 I cannot become a supporter because my fight against evil is...to take care of 52 children in Nepal (I live with them), and for us 25 $ are enough o buy one meal for them :) I hope people with not such commitments will become supporters. Thank you for your work! <3 <3 <3

Vaccines are a tool to control population from exploding out of control.

Their purpose - along with loading our food supply with sugar - is to ensure we do not end up top heavy with retired people because that would collapse the system as most of them are not productive barnyard animals

It's like keeping all your chickens that no longer lay alive... they are a drain on resources

Agree, I know eight people that died suddenly from that religion! Youngest was a healthy 30 year old male.
