I knew the media and health industrial complex was out over its skis after the Diamond Princess (a worst case scenario: floating close quarters incubator) revealed a fatality rate of about 0.3%. Everything from that moment forward was a lack-of-context horror show of Salem Witch Trial level mass hysteria. Only in the last few months have people started to sober up to the reality that perhaps they were taken for a ride.
You echo my early thoughts regarding a supposedly safe and effective vax for a coronavirus. I waited (and am still waiting) for solid proof. When real data was suppressed and the only way out was an experimental vax, seemed very suspicious to me. All risk and likely no reward is my expectation.
You really need to keep writing this stuff Robb it is so valuable in this day and age.
For some context I work in a retirement home in MN. The vaccine was mandatory. I have had two doses but since they did not mandate after that I stopped. Now in fairness I am a pretty healthy 40 year old. I have been saying since the start of this that folks need to be as strong as possible (my catch all for good metabolic health). I was silenced in a big way here as well.
That being said we are now 2 plus years into this thing and I have witnessed yes a lot of people over 80 die from COVID (sorry but kinda expected that) but what is mind blowing to me is how is still keeps picking off our "young and healthy" staff. I can assure you most of the staff here is not very healthy. I have even been offering free exercise classes to staff with very few taking advantage of the offer.
So many have had 4 doses, wear N95s all day, but are overweight, get no sun, and are getting their butts kicked. As of now I have not had it that I am aware of (I am sure I have just no symptoms). I can no where articulate things they way you can and I am aware of the "powers to be" but this thing really did not need to get so out of control if people would eat some steak and lift some weights!

my strong feeling from the beginning was that i would wait and see but probably not take the vaccine. it was too new, developed too quickly and how many blockbuster, game changing cancer treatments have come to market with extravagant promises to justify their billion dollar price tags only to be proven in the real world to extend life by a miserable few weeks?
the initial claims of 95% efficacy were enough to raise suspicious eyebrows. the virologists on TWIV swore that a vaccine couldn't be developed safely in under 10 years and then immediately reversed course and pronounced them "miracles."
you had to wonder when they started with all the carrots- free donuts, lottery tickets, $100 bonuses. i can see giving a crying tot a lollipop to calm it down but treating adults like children who have to be bribed with "a spoonful of sugar?" give me a break!
and when that wasn't enough, the sticks- shredding the constitution, threatening your job, family members and friends disowning you, penalties in the form of higher insurance rates, the blaming, the name calling, the president encouraging open season on dissidents, pharmacists refusing to fill legitimate prescriptions for ivermectin, etc.
it all points, if not to actual conspiracy, then at least to massive bureaucratic over reach and group think
My husband, my son and myself didn't get vax'd. Everyone else around us did. Recently almost everyone has gotten covid except for, low and behold the three of us. And its not even the first time it happens. All everyone says when I point this out is, "well you don't test so how would you know?" My questions is since when do people get random testing for things if they're not sick? No amount of pointing out the obvious make any difference from what I have seen.
and they are trying to start it all up again. masks forever, 4th - endless boosters....shutdowns, plastic barriers, floor stickers....all the same stuff that made little to no difference in a positive direction (plenty of negative) It must be met with measured but severe resistance. The next heads of the CDC and NIH had better be people like Marty Makary or we are doomed. Related - lll engage on the topic of how we pay for healthcare for all once we start talking about measures that improve our nations underlying health. This wont happen given the oversized influence of pharma and food conglomerates....
Beautiful rant! And just like other countries, Canada has begun to pull publication (from easy public access) of data that no longer supports the "the vaccines are effective" covidian narrative. Surprise!
I keep hearing about “all the side effects” of the vaccines/mRNA, etc., but when I take to the internet in search of “truth” I…
1. don’t find too much newer than this article
2. don’t find anything much else beside what the screen shot above shows
3. do find A LOT about the benefits and the “why we should” - no surprise here…
My search results are of course determined in large part by my search term (robb wolf covid vaccine moderna mrna) so perhaps I need to improve those but for now they’ll do as I arrived here. There is proof of censoring Google searches and other big tech media and I’m sure that leads to my #3 but we can tackle that on another comment.
So, getting to the point of this comment…
I’m currently 40, got the Moderna (2 shots) in 2021, probably about 80lbs overweight with low Vit D, high blood indications of liver and thyroid problems, and pretty much sedentary. This is my situation currently and well before I got the Fauci Ouchie. The only reason I got the shot was for my job. I beat myself up about it everyday since so there won’t be any comments here that could shame me more than I already have. Another separate story…
I have no symptoms that could not be explained by my poor health. What should I be looking for as far as symptoms? Are there blood test results that can show vaccine related/caused problems? Basically, how does a (below) average Joe figure out what my level of risk is after getting the vaccine? I can’t undo it (or can?) so is there any recourse now that I am vax’d? Obviously I need to get healthy. And I’m probably barking up the wrong tree. Vax’d to the max or not, my current health state is probably worse than having been vax’d?
Nice write-up Robb! I'm not so sure that we can take a retrospective look at this thing yet though. (not saying that was the intention here, but...) People will fall ill again when winter comes, for the same reasons that they always have, and it might of course be worse the coming flu season due to the factors you've described here. Only if the powers that be decide that we should focus on something else this winter can we be spared. It might sound cruel, but I'm almost relieved as long as the Ukraine thing is still going on.
I’ve always respected your perspective & insight since I saw you on JRE years back and read your books. You are fighting the good fight on health, meat, and on critical thinking, kid! Thank you.

Always glad to hear your perspective on anything Covid!
"I knew fuckery was afoot" Best line ever Robb!!!!! I think we should replace COVID-19 with Fuckery-19.

eloquently put, in a 'salty' way. Thank You. (very interesting 'typos') this whole thing has forced me to reconsider all sorts of long held positions.
Transactions -> transfections
Definitely looking forward to reading your thoughts on the unvaccinated, as you alluded to some future article.

Any thoughts for people who had to get jabbed for jobs? Or is it too late?
