Using your logic you will get any injection your TV tells you.

You do understand that doctors are compensated by meeting their KPI's, and vaccination is a big part of that.  If a doctor does not hit their numbers the other doctors will criticize them because then the practice as a whole will suffer financially. It is not an honest system. The media is paid to promote vaccines, your doctor is paid only if they give you vaccines
Politicians are paid by Pharma, it is the number one contributor in many states and Federal races.

Regarding "Irrelevant MSM rant"

Those are the folks telling you to wear masks, inject yourself and loved ones, and demand to see other people's medical papers. You sure you want to listen to them, as they have been lying about many things, and are paid to promote vaccine trust?

Answer my question. How do masks work in in confined spaces at some times and not at others? How is it that one must have a face mask on to enter a place but can take it off once seated amongst a crowd in a confined place?

100 percent agree.

So if the media colluded with the govt about the election (the laptop issue), blatantly lying over and over again, then what else are they hiding?

The extensive analysis skills are curiously absent regarding what they are paid to promote.

The media got billions of dollars to promote vaccines, for example.

So of course they are not going to rock the boat.

According to "The Science", you should only follow the directions of the TV weather person. No other thinking about weather is allowed. If you come up with your own theories of what the weather is doing then you are anti-weather and should be canceled and banned and purged from the herd.

New York City Health Commissioner wants all children vaccinated, wear masks until then.

 March 19, 2022 8:52am Updated

During his first press conference as commissioner, Dr. Ashwin Vasan cautioned on Friday that children under 5 years old should continue wearing masks because they’re not old enough to get vaccinated. He also cited high hospital rates for young children with COVID-19.

“I think it’s indefinite at this point,” Vasan said. “People who have tried to predict the future in this pandemic have had egg on their face, and I’m not going to do that today.”

“As a father of a 2 1/2-year-old and two other older kids, I want to keep them as safe as possible,” he said. “I would love nothing more than to send my son to daycare without a mask. But as a scientist, and as a doctor, and an epidemiologist, I want to keep him safe.”

Did NYC'S woke health commissioner who wants under-fives to wear masks forever lie on job application? Left previous position after creating 'toxic' work environment and may have falsified his CV

If your workplace requires injections, good news, you will be super-protected and safe. Feels good!!!

Get ready for FIFTH jabs this autumn: Sajid Javid says over-50s will 'probably' need another Covid booster later this year - as he insists No10 is NOT concerned by rising cases and hospital admissions because surge was inevitable

  • Sajid Javid said it was 'possible' there would be an autumn booster 'probably for those that are 50 and over'
  • The most vulnerable in society will be able to request their spring booster jab against Covid from today (FORTH DOSE)
  • A total of around five million people are expected to take up the offer including over-75s and the vulnerable

Why Anger towards the Unvaccinated was Intentional Psychological Manipulation

A look at a study from 2020

NE - nakedemperor.substack.com
Mar 21

As the first wave of the pandemic died down in 2020, the narrative was already being pushed that vaccines were the only way out. However, even before it was clear that the vaccines would predominantly be mRNA based, many were rightly hesitant to receive a novel vaccine that had been produced at warp speed.

With The Science™ so convinced that their solution was the only solution, something had to be done to increase uptake. Even though there were many opposing opinions (that were ignored), it was thought that without high rates of vaccine uptake, the pandemic would likely be prolonged.

Something had to be done about vaccine hesitancy, so along came Yale University with a study which began in July 2020. The study, which was not published online until October 2021 (once everyone was vaccinated) was to test “how persuasive messaging affects COVID-19 vaccine uptake intentions”.


The messages that were tested in the first experiment were:

  • Baseline (To end the COVID-19 outbreak, it is important for people to get vaccinated against COVID-19 whenever a vaccine becomes available. Getting the COVID-19 vaccine means you are much less likely to get COVID-19 or spread it to others. Vaccines are safe and widely used to prevent diseases and vaccines are estimated to save millions of lives every year.)
  • Self-Interest (Stopping COVID-19 is important because it reduces the risk that you could get sick and die. COVID-19 kills people of all ages, and even for those who are young and healthy, there is a risk of death or long-term disability. Remember, getting vaccinated against COVID-19 is the single best way to protect yourself from getting sick.)
  • Community Interest (Stopping COVID-19 is important because it reduces the risk that members of your family and community could get sick and die. COVID-19 kills people of all ages, and even for those who are young and healthy, there is a risk of death or long-term disability. Remember, every person who gets vaccinated reduces the risk that people you care about get sick. While you can’t do it alone, we can all protect every-one by working together and getting vaccinated.)
  • Community Interest + Guilt ((3) (Imagine how guilty you will feel if you choose not to get vaccinated and spread COVID-19 to someone you care about.)
  • Community Interest + Embarrassment ((3) + Imagine how embarrassed and ashamed you will be if you choose not to get vaccinated and spread COVID-19 to someone you care about.)
  • Community Interest + Anger ((3) + Imagine how angry you will be if you choose not to get vaccinated and spread COVID-19 to someone you care about.)
  • Not Bravery (Soldiers, fire-fighters, EMTs, and doctors are putting their lives on the line to serve others during the COVID-19 outbreak. That's bravery. But people who refuse to get vaccinated against COVID-19 when there is a vaccine available because they don't think they will get sick or aren't worried about it aren't brave, they are reckless. By not getting vaccinated, you risk the health of your family, friends, and community. There is nothing attractive and independent-minded about ignoring public health guidance to get the COVID-19 vaccine. Not getting the vaccine when it becomes available means you risk the health of others. To show strength get the vaccine so you don't get sick and take resources from other people who need them more, or risk spreading the disease to those who are at risk, some of whom can’t get a vaccine. Getting a vaccine may be inconvenient, but it works.)
  • Trust in Science (Getting vaccinated against COVID-19 is the most effective means of protecting your community. The only way we can beat COVID-19 is by following scientific approaches, such as vaccination. Prominent scientists believe that once available, vaccines will be the most effective tool to stop the spread of COVID-19. The people who reject getting vaccinated are typically ignorant or confused about the science. Not getting vaccinated will show people that you are probably the sort of person who doesn’t understand how infection spreads and who ignores or are confused about science.)
  • Personal Freedom (COVID-19 is limiting many people’s ability to live their lives as they see fit. People have had to cancel weddings, not attend funerals, and halt other activities that are important in their daily lives. On top of this, government policies to prevent the spread of COVID-19 limit our freedom of association and movement. Remember, each person who gets vaccinated reduces the chance that we lose our freedoms or government lockdowns return. While you can’t do it alone, we can all keep our freedom by getting vaccinated.)
  • Economic Freedom (COVID-19 is limiting many people’s ability to continue to work and provide for their families. People have lost their jobs, had their hours cut, and lost out on job opportunities because companies aren’t hiring. On top of this, government policies to prevent the spread of COVID-19 have stopped businesses from opening up. Remember, each person who gets vaccinated reduces the chance that we lose our freedoms or government lockdowns return. While you can’t do it alone, we can all keep our ability to work and earn a living by getting vaccinated.)
  • Community Economic Benefit (Stopping COVID-19 is important because it is wreaking havoc on our economy. Thousands of people have lost their jobs and are unable to pay their bills. Many others have been laid off by their employers and do not know when they will be called to return to work. Remember, every person who gets vaccinated reduces the risk that someone else gets sick. While you can’t do it alone, we can all end this outbreak and strengthen the national economy by working together and getting vaccinated.)

This was a large trial. Over 4,000 participants were randomly assigned to one of the treatment messages or a placebo group which looked at the effectiveness of bird feeders.

The first baseline message described how important it was to receive a vaccine so as to reduce your own risk and reduce transmission. It also emphasised that it was safe, effective and saved millions of lives.

The subgroup of messages focussed on “what other people might think of someone who chooses to be a free rider by not vaccinating”.
