EUAs for Covid19 vaccines were granted by FDA, one of the pHARMa captured agencies. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_vaccination_in_the_United_States "The Moderna vaccine was granted emergency use authorization on December 17, 2020,[7] and the Janssen (Johnson & Johnson) vaccine was granted emergency use authorization on February 27, 2021.[8] By April 19, 2021, all U.S. states had opened vaccine eligibility to residents aged 16 and over."
I'm not a huge fan of any pHARMa medications including "Operation Warp Speed" vaccines(two FDA "regulated" prescriptions shortened the lives of my Mom and Dad). However, I do stand by President Trump's Right-To-Try-Act, his permanent stance for Medical Freedom and his commitment to early Covid19 treatments such as HCQ etc. (which pHARMa propaganda mocked and destroyed since it would nullify 'justification' for their Covid19 vaccine EUAs.) https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/04/blood-hands-media-rather-see-americans-die-report-honestly-hydroxychloroquine/
Imho we need to focus on the "laws" protecting vaccine industry against liability, and the Hitlerian mandates against our USA Civil Liberties and our international human rights of INFORMED CONSENT. The safety issues of vaccines would take care of themselves if they were sued out of business. Obviously the US Govt has done nothing about vaccine safety issues for decades since 1986 when they were exempted from liability by NCVIA. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Childhood_Vaccine_Injury_Act
I loved the speech and you. Lots of stuff about you in the day that I didn't know about. You are a great example of logical consistency: the woman who stared down W. for corruption currently criticizing the Democrats for corruption.
You obviously remember the turn of the millennium; I remember the turn of the millennium. Why do so few others remember? They're too busy slapping "I have a healthy skepticism of authority but I took the vaccine" on their Facebook photo. If you don't question authority when it forces you to put something in your own body, then your skepticism is just a hobby.
My initial reaction to Covid in late 2019 & early 2020 was similar to yours: some kind of profiteering hoax.
But everything in this culture, hoax or not, becomes a profit making opportunity.
There were so many valid observations in your talk, Cindy, but one seeming contradiction that maybe you could address:
The warehousing of covid patients along with the warehoused seniors was — as you mentioned (or implied) — criminal. Since covid was deadly, regardless of its origin — from markets, from nature, from a lab as a bio weapon or synthetically created disease — why avoid so many of the precautions to avoid it?
I’m a frequent sneezer, so I still frequently wear a mask indoors in public (changing or cleaning often), especially on transit & when I take my wife to medical appointments.
I’ve had the vaccines & boosters, too.
I personally knew a few people who died of covid. I’m sure you did as well.
I consider myself as living a healthy “lifestyle”, but caught covid (after having the vaccine & a booster) this past summer. Fortunately I got over it in about a week. Perhaps I would have recovered without the vaccine/booster, but supposedly the shots reduced the risks of complications and/or death. Either way, my wife would have made my life miserable if I didn’t get the shots.
I haven’t studied the impact of school closings, but have read that even with the closings there were children, teachers, and caregivers who died from covid.
By the way, I’m not in CA, but your campaign against Pelosi ( and so much of all you’ve done & continue doing) brought joy to the world.
You should do whatever you need to do based on your own health. The elders on facilities were mostly vulnerable and needed protection. At least 95% of those who died had 3 or 4 preexisting conditions. In most people it was an illness then they got better.
Many of the elders died due to the fear porn instilled in the care workers, as well.
I was never afraid of the virus and the only factor I had was my age and I will stake my immune system against many who were far younger than I.
I don’t find any contradiction in my talk. Why put sick people in with elders if it wasn’t to kill them? Any kind of communicable illness.
If you think the shot helps, get as many as you want, take mine.
The contradiction I thought you were presenting was that the seniors in the facilities needed protection, but they didn’t need protection from covid.
Clearly I was wrong and that was NOT what you were suggesting.
WSWS.org did a presentation sometime ago with an epidemiologist calling for international cooperation for shutdowns — with financial support for all — to prevent the spread and wipe out covid. Unfortunately I don’t think international cooperation at this stage is likely for much of anything, except war making.
My point in mentioning the wsws is that we’re not all out here waiting for Fauci declarations.
Also, at the very beginning of the covid pandemic — early 2020 — the Revcoms (Avakian’s followers) had some very good info presented by an ER physician.
This is brilliant, Cindy! Well done. I love it. Thank you so much.
thank you!
From one super avoider to another, I loved your speech! Thank you for driving all those hours to give it.
we should start a club: The Super-Duper, Super Avoiders!
Speaker Pelosi out, GOP House majority in ... will they prioritize promised probe???
"If GOP gets majority, to-do list includes COVID, Fauci" https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/overnights/3718782-health-care-gop-plans-covid-probes-if-they-have-majorities/
they should bring in mr. Operation Warp Speed

great speech. thanks.
So great to see you join and speak with your local CHD chapter! I remember when you caught on to Donald Rumsfeld's bird flu profiteering many years ago https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/donald-rumsfeld-makes-5m-killing-on-bird-flu-drug-6106843.html
This is not my local chapter, though. I live in Nor Cal---7 hour drive.
There are some chapters up here in the Bay Area that I am going to check out, thoughl
Wow! I belong to CHD-FL, I think that is the only chapter in Florida

I know a lot of people who think Fauci declarations are dangerous and motivated by greed.
You do you, just give me the space to do me.
That’s all many of us ask,
As long as you or the people you mentioned aren’t calling for me to be ostracized from society because my informed choice is different from yours.
