You're describing millions of gullible people who believe far-right conspiracies spread by grifters who are already filthy rich. There is absolutely no evidence of any malpractice or malfeasance in the development or administration of any covid vaccine. All medications have side effects, and nobody was forced to do anything in America.
Eric I don't want to detract from your stellar work in this article - the best I've read so far. I would have subscribed on the spot based on this single piece of writing. But man you torpedoed the whole thing with this comment on the Covid vaccines.
I don't get how someone can be so astute, and so clear-eyed about the lobbying, the corruption, the profits-at-all costs mentality, and the exploitation of customers - but then completely sandbox a product with now thousands of studies showing its gross harms and (worse) decry it all as some “right wing conspiracy theory”.
A product, using unprecedented new technology such as those shots, should have seen 10-12 years in safety testing, and instead it got 12 weeks and a rubber stamp. Vaccine surveillance databases across the world (even the WHO's own Eudra Vigilance) immediately showed the signal. They are a prime example of the corrupted, broken system you've otherwise so eloquently documented here.
It is criminal that these companies have so much power now that they can willingly suppress information relating to the harms of their products, and continue to get away with inflicting injury on the public for profit (in Pfizer's case, $50 billion from that one shot alone, and the most lucrative pharmaceutical product in history).
There are not thousands of studies that is a ludicrous thing to say. I present evidence and background showing that United Healthcare is committing what almost everyone would consider to be crimes against their customers. The covid-19 pandemic killed more than 7 million people around the world, and unless you have something to prove the numbers wrong, 1 million died in the United States, the richest country in history. I know people who refuse to take the vaccine, and died. And guess what they did? They begged for the vaccine on their deathbed when it was way too late. Still to this day not seen a single reputable report showing any significant adverse consequences from the vaccines that are widespread or any different than many other medications.
I guess here's a quick question to gauge your seriousness on this topic: are masks also bad?
“There are not thousands of studies that is a ludicrous thing to say”.
How would you even know? You haven't looked, believing as you do that it's all fictitious and a “far right conspiracy”?
I can assure you there are.
You don't even seem to understand that the Covid shots were unlike any other injection that had preceded them, as indicated by your statement “Still to this day not seen a single reputable report showing any significant adverse consequences from the vaccines that are widespread or any different than many other medications”.
I still have the good grace to commend you on your article, but your words here reveal you have a grasp of only some of the picture, but not all of the picture.
I won't bother addressing your 2 strawmans about disputed numbers and masks, but on this I will say;
“I know people who refuse to take the vaccine, and died. And guess what they did? They begged for the vaccine on their deathbed when it was way too late”.
This was literally a TV Ad.
Here's a small sample of the studies you deny exist.
Australian COVID-19 pandemic: A Bradford Hill analysis of iatrogenic excess mortality.
You could use this information to further educate yourself, or you could pretend it doesn't exist. Personally? I'd want to know (especially if I took it).
Okay. I know you must have spent time doing this, but I am definitely not going to click on Google drive links from a stranger, when I ask for evidence, I expect published research in medical journals. I'm not talking about TV ads. I'm talking about my friend in Montana whose mother refused to get the vaccine specifically because she watched right-wing news that told her it was dangerous and told her that covid was not a real thing, contracted covid, and died in a hospital bed begging for the vaccine that would no longer provide any help.
Fact that you didn't respond at all about masks, and you don't seem to have indicated any belief that the disease was actually a problem, leads me to think that you were looking for evidence to prove your preexisting belief, rather than following the evidence to form a conclusion. I have read much about the covid vaccines, from medical journals, and the statistics of reactions, specifically myocarditis which was at least 10 times more likely among unvaccinated individuals who contracted covid than it was from the vaccine itself. I'm sorry but I'm not clicking on Google drive links from a stranger. I also wouldn't download any files from any source from a stranger.
You found a preprint??! AND it was dated April 1st?? OMG.
My goodness Lesley, you are one sharp cookie. You could get a job at the FBI. I'm sure they’d highly value obedience and compliance, and your commitment to safe spaces and fact checking is very impressive.
It's just a shame your mind is so tiny and boxed in, that you can't consider anything that would require you to utilise your own critical thinking skills, unless first approved by authority.
Being the expert in “Peer Review” perhaps you can explain to us the process, and elaborate on some of the flaws you’ve found? (Or did you just go looking for a ‘gotcha’ moment, and got all warm and giddy when you thought you'd found one?).
We don't all get our information from TikTok, or have Facebook accounts (though I'd GUARANTEE you have both) and we don't all immediately recoil when our preconceived biases are not confirmed, or discount entire research papers because they haven't been canonized as Safe & Accepted.
We used to call it narrow-minded. Today we'd call it a mental prison of your own making.
But seeing as you're such an expert on Peer Review, perhaps you'd like to check that these are up to your standards?
It is unlikely either of us will ever find anyone that we agree with 100% on everything. Even twins have differences of opinion. I have read much about the vaccines including the published peer-reviewed research and the statistics from the United States and around the world in order to form my conclusion.
Yup totally. I'm glad that I red that comment before I almost shared the article on a non-substack forum. Apparently he's one of those "just hasn't been tried the right way" people.
This is just such a spectacular example of utter and complete idiocy I just have to stop and comment
"There is absolutely no evidence of any malpractice or malfeasance in the development or administration of any covid vaccine. " Now that's a mouthful right there.
After 4 years and 17MILLION + deaths it is hard to find anyone- either from the camp of the utterly amoral will do anything for a few sheckles, or the completely hopeless brain dead twats who still trots out the DOD/ pharma cloak of righteousness tropes in such a pathetic attempt to shame others. Most that did are either dead, sadly, or if they have survived, are severely chastened by the turn of events. I suspect you are likely an LLM chatbot because no human could actually be this stupid haha.
This is the best writing I’ve seen on this story yet. It seems the ruling class just told a whole bunch of the rest of us just what it takes to get their full and undivided attention.
And this fervor already forced Anthem health to reverse its announced plans to limit anesthesia coverage. Turns out a good guy with a gun actually can save lives! 404media also covered the range of companies that have removed their "leadership" biography pages from their websites. I've never seen such rapid action following a news cycle. Thank you for the kind comment.
I guess CNBC will have many fewer CEO & CFO interviews now. And their will be far fewer celebrity CEOs except those billionaires who will pay millions for private security.
Well stated. Thank you! The reckoning is upon us. They can run, they can hire security, remove webpages, but they cannot hide forever! Come out, come out wherever you are….
The Rich Protect the Rich, a tale as old as time; nothing more than an amoralistic club of golden-tinted courics of fecal matter who thinks (& probably feels) that they are olympian gods amongst mortals (aka "common" humanity)
John Lennon was worth 800 million when he was murdered by a stalker outside his NYC home. How did the murder of that multi-millionaire benefit the class war?
Let’s count the reasons our politics are rotten to the core:
1. The just mentioned for profit health insurance, the most expensive in the world.
2. The most expensive health care system in the world, matched with poor health outcomes.
3. The most expensive costs for medicinal drugs in the world.
4. The highest rate of mass casualty shooting events in the world, particularly those still happening with sickening regularity in our children’s schools.
5. The highest military and intelligence expenditures on the planet, with next to no good outcomes in terms of peace and prosperity, yet plenty of death, destruction, and destabilization.
6. The highest national debt, with the highest annual interest payments on that debt, yet we have the lightest tax levy on wealthy corporations and wealthy individuals.
Enough. Let’s rekindle the spirit of 1776, burn our thing one and thing two political parties to the ground, start over, and recreate a political system and an economy that works for THE PEOPLE, not the favored fucking few. A massive Jeffersonian revolt, shall we,because what we have is simply not working.
in order to "rekindle the spirit of 1776" the people will need to resolutely refuse to reliquish or restrict their 2nd amendment protected means to take back control of their governance from tyrants- as designed and intended by the framers of the Constitution. The same monsters who you are waking up to realize are gleefully murdering us all through massive DOD poisoning programs disguised as "public health initiatives" and "vaccinnes", perpetual engineered societal mayhem endless grift and foreign wars for the Judaic supremacist syndicate are experts at orchestrating and staging "false flag" events of all kinds, including but not limited to shocking episodes of mayhem that are designed to compel you, the free sovereign individual you are, to voluntarily surrender your natural rights and freedoms protected under the Constitution and Bill of Rights in return for "protection" from your fellow sovereign human beings. Stand firm my fellow humans, do not fall for the ruse.
The one published link that you shared here is not peer-reviewed and begins with a conclusion rather than an explanation of what the research entailed, which is probably why it hasn't been peer-reviewed, because that is simply not how scientific studies are supposed to be conducted. We don't have to agree on this to agree on many other things. Without strong provable evidence, I have no reason to change my belief about the covid vaccines which virtually everyone I know received with no adverse reactions. My personal anecdotes are not what my conclusions are based on, though.
FWIW I don’t have medical insurance and have not received medical “care” for 4 years. I agree with you USA’s “healthcare for profit” is a disaster. But under government-paid models people also experience denied and delayed care. Whether you are denied by a corporate bureaucrat or a government bureaucrat, what difference does it make? But looking past that, I personally view the whole medical model as the scam. I would want access to a hospital and medical care if I became injured. But for someone who lives with a chronic condition, they will 100% have pills pushed onto them, or expensive procedures. Curing or healing is not the model, “condition management” is the model because it creates a lifetime customer. Regardless of who pays, the profit motive still looms over modern medicine.
Agree with most of that, but need to add that pharmaceutical costs in the United States are anywhere from 5 to 100 times higher than other countries, because we do not have a national system and the laws allow literal price gouging. Universal Healthcare is vastly cheaper and produces better outcomes for entire populations, including better life expectancy, lower incidence of chronic conditions (likely due to primary care and earlier detection of issues to address), and far less stress and anxiety relating to the health system itself. No system is perfect, and it won't be until we also address the cost of higher education and train many more medical professionals.
Probably 5 years ago, the internet linguist Cliff High ( Substack) forecast that at some point the leaders of the corporate/government machine that is enslaving/poisoning/killing We the People would not be able to walk down the street without being assaulted by survivors of their crimes. The trigger event, he said, would be a public assault captured on video and broadcast worldwide. Maybe Cliff was right. Maybe this is just the start…maybe.
What’s your next article going to be on? The virtue of shooting grocers who overcharge for vegetables and how everyone would be better fed if the government ran all our supermarkets?
Actually, this one has us at 23: https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/best-healthcare-in-the-world. Plus most comparisons jumble up lifestyle issues with healthcare issues and discount America’s pharmaceutical subsidizing of the rest of the world. But since you’ve made it clear that it’s good to murder executives for poor performance, I’m sure you’ll also be writing articles justifying the murder of US public school superintendents and high ranking officials in the Brazilian healthcare ministry.
Carl, you're a f****** moron. Nobody's talking about the CEO's poor performance. We are talking about his murder of thousands of americans by denying care on purpose to boost profits. If you can't understand it, I suggest you go the f*** away.
Also nobody “called for assassinations”, carl. You just keep licking boots all day. Brian Thompson was also hated by many UnitedHealthcare employees. He was under criminal investigation. He was a giant monstrous piece of shit who directly caused Americans’ deaths for his personal profit.
Do public school superintendents make $10 million a year specifically by denying healthcare to paying customers? No? OK then it’s not at all the fking same lololol
Okay. So now you’re justifying murder based on compensation levels. For what it’s worth, the slope gets slippery when you do that; I imagine those Superintendents’ salaries can look exorbitant to people living in poverty.
And your explanation of the “core evil” of a for-profit healthcare system is that it obscures control. Do you feel you have a lot of control over government agencies? The GAO reported $100 billion in wrongful payments by Medicare and Medicaid in 2023. Will you be writing articles about how we should be understanding of taxpayers murdering the Secretary of HHS for “obscuring control” of their tax money?
Or I could just be someone who knows the difference between the French Revolution and the American Revolution.
Feel free to block me if your rule for blocking is that you don’t like people questioning your assumptions or pointing out the implications of your positions. And, I don’t care one iota whether the mob you claim to speak for is angry at the healthcare industry(which I’m not in, by the way). I don’t believe in mob justice.
One assumption you make is that someone turning a profit in the healthcare field, or some amount of profit that you deem too high based on some unstated metric of yours, is evil and deserves mob justice. Does Julio Palmaz deserve mob justice for earning millions off the invention of the balloon-expandable stent? How about Raymond Damadian for earning millions off the invention of the MRI? Or is it wrong to assassinate inventors who make multi-million dollar profits but not insurance executives? If so are you conceding that maybe your claims about the inherent evil of the profit motive in the healthcare industry might be misguided and that the issues involved are different than you or the mob you claim to speak for believe?
So block away. I’ve been unimpressed by your reversion to ad hominem attacks anyway.

When every other country achieves better outcomes for society by having government run grocery stores, then you can make that analogy.

Here are the questions you asked to prove the the CEO was venal and deserved death:
“Did the company start offering more popular services? Did it greatly increase its customer base? Did it eliminate unnecessary expenses?”
Now ask the same questions of public school superintendents or the Secretary of HHS.
Are you going to call for the assassination of these VA employees: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/facing-1-billion-cost-overruns-154800192.html.
You start to find justifications for assassinating a lot of people using your metrics.
Also nobody “called for assassinations”, carl. You just keep licking boots all day. Brian Thompson was also hated by many UnitedHealthcare employees. He was under criminal investigation. He was a giant monstrous piece of shit who directly caused Americans’ deaths for his personal profit.
Do public school superintendents make $10 million a year specifically by denying healthcare to paying customers? No? OK then it’s not at all the fking same lololol
Okay. So now you’re justifying murder based on compensation levels. For what it’s worth, the slope gets slippery when you do that; I imagine those Superintendents’ salaries can look exorbitant to people living in poverty.
And your explanation of the “core evil” of a for-profit healthcare system is that it obscures control. Do you feel you have a lot of control over government agencies? The GAO reported $100 billion in wrongful payments by Medicare and Medicaid in 2023. Will you be writing articles about how we should be understanding of taxpayers murdering the Secretary of HHS for “obscuring control” of their tax money?
Or I could just be someone who knows the difference between the French Revolution and the American Revolution.
Feel free to block me if your rule for blocking is that you don’t like people questioning your assumptions or pointing out the implications of your positions. And, I don’t care one iota whether the mob you claim to speak for is angry at the healthcare industry(which I’m not in, by the way). I don’t believe in mob justice.
One assumption you make is that someone turning a profit in the healthcare field, or some amount of profit that you deem too high based on some unstated metric of yours, is evil and deserves mob justice. Does Julio Palmaz deserve mob justice for earning millions off the invention of the balloon-expandable stent? How about Raymond Damadian for earning millions off the invention of the MRI? Or is it wrong to assassinate inventors who make multi-million dollar profits but not insurance executives? If so are you conceding that maybe your claims about the inherent evil of the profit motive in the healthcare industry might be misguided and that the issues involved are different than you or the mob you claim to speak for believe?
So block away. I’ve been unimpressed by your reversion to ad hominem attacks anyway.
