What is surfacing now, five years later, is a stronger understanding of just how the establishment medical complex determined the safety and efficacy protocols of the COVID-19 vaccination. They had theories, they had speculation, they had scientific discussion; but ultimately, they did not know to what extent the vaccine was safe – and statistically it wasn’t safe.
Looking back on recent history, the COVID experience stands out. The lessons from observing the government’s response, and how people reacted to it, have influenced our perspective on many topics related to liberty and freedom.
I turn to faith, read the gospel and recognize in more than a few ways the COVID experience was a generational test.
It is generally accepted that somewhere around 60 to 70% of Americans accepted the COVID vaccine, although a great many of those who took the vaccine did so under tremendous pressure, essentially under duress and without fully informed consent.
There really was no way to apply “informed consent” to the process because the ‘information’ that should have supported the consent was skewed, shaped and in many instances intentionally manipulated. Again, the pressure for compliance to the process was extreme; beyond extreme. I said at the time we had never seen such a pressure campaign on any topic or issue as aggressively oppressive as we endured during two-years of COVID vaccination compliance pressure.
I do not fault anyone who took the vaccine. In fact, I hold great empathy toward those who now live with the hindsight question of their life potentially being shortened. Everyone has been impacted by this medical experiment and the subsequent sociological implications in the aftermath.
A few days ago, a person wanted to discuss Dr Anthony Fauci’s testimony with me. I never bring up the subject of the COVID vaccine; not ever in personal discussion. However, if it is brought up to me, I will engage carefully, honestly and with empathy. I was asked about Fauci taking the fifth amendment and his previous grant of immunity by Joe Biden.
My response was short, purposeful and direct. Why would Anthony Fauci need criminal immunity? A lengthy reframing of the question resulted from my friend, who essentially then repeated it. Again, I responded, “why would any agent of the United States govt even begin a thought process that immunity for criminal activity would be needed?”
Silently, inside my mind I wonder if perhaps I’ve spent too much time learning about the way Russian people think. They are like American mid-westerners of old; the questions are much shorter and more direct; there is no pretense.
Why did Fauci need immunity? Why indeed. Someone knew something, eh?
That sense, the one we all carry that alerts us when something just doesn’t add up, doesn’t sit right, doesn’t reconcile unless we pretend something else exists in the sentence to explain the stuff that doesn’t reconcile. The stuff inside the sentence we create in order to explain or justify is the nonexistent stuff, the pretending stuff. Take the pretending out of the thought, and suddenly you know the answer. [Again, now you are thinking like a Russian.]
We are in an abusive relationship with government. The COVID-19 experience created a shortcut to show us just how extensive and abusive that relationship is. How many Americans have physically been harmed in this example, and how many millions more are suffering the downstream consequences of continued codependent denial.
COVID-19 was the embodiment of the truism: “when push comes to shove.”
How far are you willing to go -what pain are you willing to suffer through- to retain your definition of liberty, freedom and sovereign control. Is there a price? The COVID-19 experience gave us all the uncomfortable answers….. and now the discussion necessarily gets quiet in mixed company.
Many people are angry. Many people have every emotional right to be angry. The scale of vaccine compliance suffering runs the gambit from collapsed friendships to lost jobs, broken marriages, to painful isolation and yes, to death itself.
There is no way to measure cold anger at a scale not entirely visible.
Several years ago, CTH said to gently avoid touching the sensitive nerve of those vaccinated, there is no way for them to retreat from the decision. Done is done.
Genuine human empathy must be applied generously, while simultaneously a pragmatic perspective must be maintained.
Each person can define and judge but choosing to express that judgement is a different matter entirely. Remember, for the vaccinated all discussion is zero-sum.
As the revelations about the vaccine administrators, their thoughts, their severely compromised and corrupt activity continues to surface, it is worthwhile reminding ourselves that some people need to retain cognitive denial in order to avoid seeing the vaccinated person in the mirror.
The credibility of all U.S. government institutions has collapsed; all of them.
Let me repeat. When you stop pretending you accept the credibility of all U.S. government institutions has collapsed in our lifetime. The only people left covering for this collapse are those who need to retain the illusion of institutional credibility.
The Food and Drug Administration permits toxic chemicals in food and is controlled by Big Rx.
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is controlled by Big Ag.
The corporate media are controlled by their corporate advertisers.
Manage your personal affairs accordingly.
We may not live there, but we are all Russians now.
This is a must watch clip from the pandemic.

I find this discussion & the vast majority of the comments by the self identified “un-axed hero’s” comical, yet not at all funny!
I’ll be clear, I reluctantly received the first 2 jabs for a plethora of reasons & as more data & information evolved I refused to receive any booster or other follow-on product. I was excoriated yesterday by some on here claiming i was part of the problem for allowing myself to receive the jab as a former health care provide on the front lines. When I state I was on the front lines, I don’t mean awaiting to treat you at your local clinic or ER, I mean I was in your house, your car, your office, your bathroom, your bedroom, your kitchen etc… As a retired Commander for a high profile, county wide, high-volume Emergency Medical Services agency. Overnight, I witnessed our daily patient call volume go from an average of ~750 emergency responses per day to ~1200 calls for service, while each individual incident now taking double the amount of time in duration due to all the additional PPE now be required to don & doff, the delays at the ER’s due to increased over capacity of patient intake volumes & now additional disinfection time of equipment, while simultaneously, in the span of one(1) week, I witnessed our department lose ~25-35% of our work force due to infection that mandated they be remanded & isolated to home confinement for 14 days each. We even made accommodations for our medics if they were uncomfortable or unable to return home for fear of infecting their families. So imagine that, your workload nearly doubles while losing 30% of your workforce?!
Why do you not see professional Paramedics running on calls? We train them not to….if you’re running & you injure yourself, you are then of no benefit to the patient or your partner. You have then become an additional patient & now a liability. My point being do what you need to do when you need to do it in order to accomplish the mission. Our mission is to get to your or your loved ones side & provide life-saving intervention!
Conversely, one of my closest friends was an ER/ICU nurse who elected to not get the jab & was able to obtain a falsified vax card in order maintain his livelihood. He was infected 5 times & was off the job for 14 days each. Subsequently, I knew I’d be of no assistance to my department & community therefor I elect to take the jab. I was never infected & didn’t miss a single shift or responsibility during COVID. BTW, I don’t attribute this to the jab. Regardless, who’s the “hero or villain”, that’s not for me to say as I believe each individual has to do what they need to do.
Not a single soul who lived through these deceitful COVID years should bear any disparaging opinion for anyone’s decision to receive or refuse the jab. Each person had to walk a different path & navigate an individualized decision tree based on their own personnel, professional or spiritual circumstances, in some cases all three. Each persons lived experience & journey was entirely different.
Apologies for all the misspellings & grammatical errors, it was more difficult than I thought to conceptualize & convey these elongated thoughts on a mobile device. Hopefully, the core of what I was attempting to share will not be lost in translation.
I also took the first two jabs and then declined to proceed. Thank you for so vividly illustrating the difficulty of making the decision at that time, especially in view of all the deceit that was occurring .

Exactly. That sense is the Holy Spirit.
It is hard to wrap your head around how horrific this is.
It is much bigger than killing millions of people. It was part of a bigger plan to isolate people and put them in fear. Many have not recovered and you notice this when you are in public shopping or doing daily duties. Many are not casually friendly like folks used to be and defensive over things that are pointless, An interesting viewpoint that shows this is accurate is a professor named Mattias Desmet
I’ll keep repeating myself but the one thing I learned from the COVID human experiment is that MOST don’t know SQUAT. MOST repeat what they have read or told. VERY FEW utilize their god given brain and instincts. VERY FEW use critical thought process. I don’t trust ANY so called “professional”. People are full of it. We blindly follow. Sheep onto the slaughterhouse
I’ve talked here before about taking the shot. It was something I was not comfortable with, and I regret it.
It was a horrible time in this world, with all the threats if you didn’t take it, etc. Being locked down was hard enough even without all the other garbage. I was literally not in my right mind. Stress will do that to a person.
I am thankful all of my grandchildren were born to unvaxxed parents (either before covid or after). I am thankful my youngest grandchildren have a mom who questions and declines every vaccine that she feels is not safe or necessary.
And most of all, I am thankful for a loving God who answers prayers and who has removed any trace of the vaccines’ effects from my body and from the bodies of those I love.
That shot was from the enemy. And Jesus defeated that enemy by the finished work of the cross. The victory is His.
Towards the end of the pandemic, I was offered a great opportunity at a local hospital, but they still required all employees to have received the China flu vaccine. There was no way I would allow myself to be injected with the experimental mRNA gene therapy, so I sought out one of the few remaining local clinics in my area that was still offering the Johnson & Johnson vaccine which was developed using tried and true vaccine technology. Ironically, it was the aggressive campaign against J&J launched by the media and our government that compelled me to trust it. I feel confident that I made the right choice.
