Honestly I'm not really sure why I've resisted all aspects of the covid narrative. Maybe it's just my inherent distrust of authority or my oppositional personality and intense dislike of being told what to do. It helps that I have a like minded husband who couldn't care less about the friends we've lost and has kept us moving forward and never looked back.
Excellent teachers at a young age who demanded students to question everything. That first criminology class in law school--day one from the prof: “I’m going to teach you how to think like a criminal. Just don’t become one, and how to detect bullsh*t.” Best class ever. The experimental injection fraud was easy to spot.
I’m not the sharpest dog on the tree, but “Covid”, like “Ukraine”, smelled of bullshit right out of the gate. The propaganda was just too shrill, and the media mafia accepted so many dubious propositions way too quickly, without even the slightest nod to the possibility that they could be wrong. With the jihad against repurposed drugs, only the most naïve could not see that the fix was in for the poison. The whole thing strained credulity from day 1.
Also has to do with social pressure/group think/herd mentality as well belief in the infallibility of their doctors. Has nothing to do with smarts or success. It’s amazing who I’ve seen turn into obedient sheep.
It’s really quite simple. Robust and truthful information requires no props: subterfuge, ad hominem attacks, hyperbole, strawmaning of arguments, misrepresentation, omissions, coverups etc. This is what all false information has as its feature. It’s unavoidable because they are attempting deceive so they must use deceptive tactics which can never be hidden in full. Conversely, the truth is always presented in dispassionate language, complete with links to evidence. It is clear and concise and attempts to persuade through the weight of its evidence and precision of its language. A disinformation piece - and the fact-checked ones are always guilty of this, use inflammatory language, are a jumble of ideas and half baked notions, they make assertions with no evidence, they strawman constantly and belittle the intellect of their readers. The difference couldn’t be more noticeable.
Most people fall into the trap because they are time poor and their minds are exhausted from working etc. They don’t have the inclination to read widely or to seek out multiple sources, check references, follow up on further readings etc. In short they are lazy and just want to be told what to think. A dumbed-down msm “news” article ticks all the boxes they need.
My son was vaccine injured 16 years ago. This was when I finally took the time to research vaccines. No one in my family has ever had another vaccine after I went down that rabbit hole. It's limited my career as an RN but in all honesty, I have no regrets. I was able to avoid all masking and vaccine requirements during COVID and never participated in the mass genocide that has gone on in our health care institutions.
Within a week of the UK lockdown we were treated each evening on the BBC news to what me and my son came to call the Parade of Death - photos of a selection of the people who had tragically died that day of Covid, “with no underlying health risks”. Except virtually every single one was heavily overweight, obese or morbidly obese. Ergo, an underlying health risk staring us straight in the face. Next exhibit: the 5pm daily press conferences at Downing Street, with the chief scientific officer and chief medical officer being “questioned” by political journalists, not science journalists. And those questions were so meek, so flattering, that we’d be sitting there shouting at the TV screen - why are you not investigating? Why are you not holding their feet to the metaphorical hot coals? And the masks... just complete nonsense when you consider the size of the virion compared to the size of the weave of the mask material (or the fact that glasses steam up when you wear one). I felt increasingly isolated re my dark dissenting views until I came across the website Lockdown Sceptics (now the Daily Sceptic) and thence to believable, rational voices like Igor’s, Robert Malone, Peter McCullough etc. And finally, I always used to wonder how the Germans fell for the Nazis and their persecution of the Jews. Having watched the hatred stoked up for the unvaccinated, I then understood.
None of the hard core covidists around me, dare talking about "the thing" anymore. They all got either covid or side effects or someone near them with either. They know they were scammed. They know that to not reneg on their ideology (forget the science, it's long gone) they will need endless boosters that will kill or hurt them. So they just shut up. And we enjoy their newfound silence. That's their way of pleading guilty. And guilty they are.

I avoided the jabs, for months, but had finally made an appointment. On the day of it, I just was somehow creeped out by it, and I think my very cells were trying to yell NO NO NO. Cellular intuition I call it. I am also a bit Algonquin, and so there may be some memories of (attempted) genocide that played in, who knows. Another lack of trust.
It was not a clear decision, it was a 'i think i can avoid this a bit longer' type of decision...but soon, maybe weeks after that. when I saw Dr. Bhaktis video and the look in his eyes said it all...that 'medicine' had really effed up this time, and to avoid this jab at all costs. You cannot fake the look in his eyes. He saved me from a thousand miles away from ever doing it and I am so grateful to him, Dr. Bhakti.
I think it likely that if I'd NOT become a Naturopathic physician, I'd likely not have given the whole thing much thought. In our first years @ school (1996-2000), we were introduced to the concept of iatrogenic disease/morbidity. At the time, I was shocked to find iatrogenic dz has been listed as the 3rd leading cause of death in the US for years. Certainly, that little nugget of truth has only worsened since I read about it. I'm pretty confident that the general population has no idea that right after cancer and heart disease, drugs and medical procedures are the next big killer. I mean, who would even think that they actually coined a name for it! Can't google something when you don't know what it's called.
Since then, I've read MANY books about the baked in scams in medicine. Robert Whitaker's classic "Anatomy of an Epidemic: Magic Bullets, Psychiatric Drugs, and the Astonishing Rise of Mental Illness in America," Irving Kirsch's classic "The Emperor’s New Drugs: Exploding the Antidepressant Myth," & finally Marcia Angell's book "The Truth About the Drug Companies: How They Deceive Us and What to Do About It."
So when this covid puppy came along, I stood back and watched. Quickly, however, I became suspicious. Then I was desperately looking to hear SOMEONE from the BS narrative actually make some sense. But they were no where to be found. Vinay Prasad in the early days was somewhat compelling, but I believe he has too many blind spots. Then I found out about absolute risk vs relative risk and the whole thing started to unravel for me in early 2020.
However, I know some life long friends/family that have always been very liberal and even somewhat progressive. They had ZERO knowledge of the entrenched skulduggery in medicine. They didn't even suspect that the government and big pharma could be in cahoots. So they just drank the kool-aide hook line and sinker.
Unfortunately, some of them are still fully or partially snookered. But back to my point. I suspect if I'd not gone to an alternative med school and learned about iatrogenic death, and then many books subsequent spelling it all out, I'd have been just as likely to have gotten jabbed as the next guy.
I suspect that many of us who couldn't buy this outright, had some deep skepticism and or ability to stay somewhat stoic to begin with. Or, like me, we had some fore-knowledge of the immensely profitable scam that medicine has become.

Like you Igor, I was "this close" to getting the shot back around April of 2020. I was tortured about it. Some mornings I would wake up and think "fuck it, I'll just get it today and be done with it." I was terrified of Covid and the jab looked really protective. But at the same time I am so profoundly distrustful of Western medicine that I could not bring myself to actually take the shot. I held out and around the end of July, the news started coming out of Israel how dramatically protection had waned and how the Israeli hospitals were now full of vaccinated patients. Thank God I never got it!!!
They told us that a new vaccine would take 10 years and suddenly they had one! What?
Being in New Zealand we had more time to think. We were not eligible for jab until Oct 2021.
Started asking everyone I knew in the US if they knew anyone with an adverse event. One of my only right-wing friends told me it wasn't a vaccine, told me the real IFR, and I started digging. He started sending me links.
When I saw Maddie de Garay and her mother at Ron Johnson's hearing I was shaken - especially as a mother of a 12-year old.
Then Jimmy Dore and Max Blumenthal started speaking out and it all came together...from right-wing friends to left-wing youtubers.
I scheduled and resscheduled our jab several times until they started pushing it on under 16s and I was overcome with a feeling that "something isn't right" and stopped rescheduling. Then Omicron showed up and there was no turning back!
To this day I am grateful to my Trumper friend for all the time he took to respectfully push back on me and debate with me so that I could learn. I'm also proud of myself for listening with an open mind to an opinion outside of my bubble.
Sounds easy now but it took a lot of time, anguish, obsessing, sweat, tears, and stress! Substack like this also providedsupprt. Thank you!
It was pretty easy for me .........I have never followed the crowd and been on the outside looking in most of my life.........so "just another day". I smelled a rat right away and so I went searching and found the carcass very early on. I am retired and so work was not an issue and I gladly gave up family and friends who removed me from their lives. I found a whole new group of like minded people in the "alternate media" and although I know none of them personally, I feel closer to them than most people in my life.
It was actually intuitive. When the nerd, non scientist, non elected, non doctor, with a bad history pretends to know how to save the world, (Gates) and says if we don't ALL take an experimental, untested, gene therapy, or WE won't be able to go back to 'normal', my alarm bells immediately started ringing. Any other time, without the manufactured threat of a deadly disease, this would sound like an insane statement, and rightly so.

Thank you for this, Igor!
I do feel psychologically toyed with. Groomed and tested, if you will.
I appreciate these substacks. Prior to discovering the platform I was so very lonely and on the verge of going stark raving mad.

I subscribe to several substacks. Igor never disappoints and is by far, my favorite. Again, thank you!
