    WASHINGTON ù Elias Rodriguez, the man charged with killing two Israeli
    embassy staffers in Washington, DC, approached police on the scene after >>> the shooting and told them, ôI did it for Palestine, I did it for Gaza,ö >>> according to a court document filed on Thursday.

    Rodriguez allegedly murdered Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim outside
    an event at the Capital Jewish Museum on Wednesday night. Lischinsky and >>> Milgrim were a couple, and Lischinsky was planning to propose in
    Jersualem next week.

    The US Justice Department said Rodriguez has been charged with two
    counts of first-degree murder, as well as other charges, including the
    murder of foreign officials.

    An affidavit filed by an FBI agent in support of the criminal complaint
    said that as police escorted Rodriguez from the building, he shouted,
    ôFree Palestine.ö

    The document said police reviewed security footage showing Rodriguez
    walking past the victims outside the museum, then turning, pulling a
    firearm from his waistband, and shooting them in the back.

    Investigators recovered 21 empty shell cases and a 9mm handgun from the
    scene that matched a firearm Rodriguez purchased in Illinois in 2020. He >>> flew from Chicago to Virginia with the firearm in his checked baggage,
    the affidavit said. He had declared the firearm for the flight.

    people of a bright future together.ö

    æFree, free Palestine.Æ This was done in the name of a political agenda

    FBI and police investigators are poring over apparent writings and
    political affiliations of the suspect.

    FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino posted on social media that
    investigators were ôaware of certain writings allegedly authored by the
    suspectö and hoped to soon have updates regarding their authenticity.

    BonginoÆs statement appeared to refer to a manifesto signed with
    RodriguezÆs name that was posted to an anonymous X account on Wednesday
    night shortly before the shooting.

    Posted with the title ôEscalate For Gaza, Bring The War Home,ö it
    condemned IsraelÆs killing of tens of thousands of Palestinians since
    the October 2023 Hamas attacks, and discussed the morality of ôarmedö
    action.

    FBI Director Kash Patel called the bloodshed an ôact of terror,ö
    although Bondi told reporters that authorities believe the suspect acted >>> alone.

    Investigators are also delving into the apparent political affiliations
    of the suspect, who worked for a healthcare nonprofit and was believed
    to have had past ties to far-left groups.

    At his first appearance in court on Thursday, the suspect waived his
    right to a detention hearing, and a preliminary hearing in the case was
    set for June 18.

    Rodriguez said little during the proceeding except to answer, ôI doö to
    questions from a federal magistrate judge about whether he understood
    his rights.

    FBI agents were seen at his apartment in Chicago on Thursday, where law
    enforcement blocked off the street.

    Rodriguez was once affiliated with a far-left group in Chicago, the
    Party for Socialism and Liberation, according to a post from the group
    on X. The group said that Rodriguez had a brief association with a PSL
    branch that ended in 2017 and that they knew of no contact with him in
    more than seven years.

    Rodriguez was also identified in a 2018 local news report as a member of >>> the Chicago branch of a national group called ANSWER, an acronym for Act >>> Now to Stop War and End Racism, which has organized demonstrations in
    solidarity with Palestinians.

    Rodriguez worked at the healthcare nonprofit American Osteopathic
    Information Association, the organization confirmed in a statement
    expressing sympathy for the victims.

    He had also worked as an oral history researcher at The HistoryMakers, a >>> nonprofit dedicated to preserving African American stories, according to >>> a now-deleted biography on the groupÆs website.

    Rodriguez was born and raised in Chicago and graduated from the
    University of Illinois Chicago with an English degree. He previously
    worked as a content writer for commercial and noncommercial technology
    firms, the deleted page said.


    The absolutely only godly way to permanently defeat all enemies of
    Israel on all "eight fronts," including either Hamas and/or Hezbollah
    now but also all others in the future, is by lifting up Israel's
    http://WonderfullyHungry.org (Luke 24:42-3) Messiah.

    You got that right!

    If Elias Rodriguez has any problem with the National Alliance, the
    White Aryan Resistance, and the Stormfront White Nationalist Community,
    it is ONLY because he considers them to be rival gangs.

    Ethics Quote of the Month: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
    May 26, 2025 / Jack Marshall


    æöFree PalestineÆ is just todayÆs version of æHeil HitlerÆö
    ù-Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu this week, referring to the
    murder of two young Israelis by a man who screamed ôFree Palestineö in
    Washington, D.C.

    The context of that quote, from NetenyahuÆs remarks last week:

    ôà.A brutal terrorist shot in cold blood a young, beautiful couple,
    Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim. Yaron had just bought an engagement
    ring for Sarah. He was planning to give it to her in Jerusalem next
    week. They were planning to start a new and happy life togetherà that
    tragically did not happenà Yaron and Sarah werenÆt the victims of a
    random crime. The terrorists who cruelly gunned them down did so for one >>> reason and one reason alone: he wanted to kill Jewsà ôFree Palestineöà
    is exactly the same chant we heard on October 7, [2023]. On that day,
    thousands of terrorists stormed into Israel from Gaza. They beheaded
    men, they raped women, they burned babies alive. They butchered 1200
    innocent people and took 251 innocent people hostage to the dungeons of
    Gazaà. German Chancellor Olaf Scholzà said to me, ôThese Hamas
    terrorists are exactly like the Nazis.ö ôand if they could get away with >>> it, these Hamas terrorists would have slaughtered every last Jew on
    Earth.ö àFor these Neo-Nazis, ôFree Palestineö is just todayÆs version
    of ôHeil Hitler.ö They donÆt want a Palestinian state. They want to
    destroy the Jewish state. They want to annihilate the Jewish people
    whoÆve been in the land of Israel for 3500 yearsàI could never
    understand how this simple truth evades the leaders of France, Britain,
    Canada and others. TheyÆre now proposing to establish a Palestinian
    state and reward these murderers with the ultimate prizeà [F]or 18
    years, we had a de facto Palestinian state. ItÆs called Gaza. And what
    did we get? Peace? No, we got the most savage slaughter of Jews since
    the Holocaust. You wonÆt be surprised to learn that Hamas thanked
    President Macron and Prime Ministers Starmer and Carney for demanding
    that Israel end its war in Gazaà Hamas was right to thank them, because
    by issuing their demand, replete with a threat of sanctions against
    Israelùagainst Israel, not Hamas ù these three leaders effectively said >>> they want Hamas to remain in poweràwant Israel to stand down and accept
    that HamasÆs army of mass murderers will survive, rebuild, and repeat
    the October 7 massacre again and again and again, because thatÆs what
    Hamas has vowed to do. When mass murderers, rapists, baby killers, and
    kidnappers thank you, youÆre on the wrong side of justice, youÆre on the >>> wrong side of humanity, and youÆre on the wrong side of history. Now
    these leaders may think that theyÆre advancing peace. TheyÆre not.
    TheyÆre emboldening Hamas to continue fighting forever. And they give
    them hope to establish a second Palestinian state, on which Hamas will
    again seek to destroy the Jewish state.ö

    The pro-Hamas, ôAww, poor Gaza!ö distortion was the position of the
    Biden Administration, whoever that was, as well. It is the current
    position of the Democratic Party, progressives and their allies, the
    journalism and higher education Axis cabal.

    Case in point: Here is the reference to the October 7 Hamas massacre in
    HarvardÆs latest yearbook:



    Harvard Chabad, the campus community center for Jewish students, pointed >>> out that this whitewashing is the equivalent of describing 9/11 as ôWar
    breaks out in Afghanistan.ö It urged employers: ôIf you are going to
    hire Harvard graduates from 2024-2028, please ask them what they were
    doing on campus the last two years,ö suggesting that if they called for
    a free Palestine, maybe the employers should look elsewhere.

    WhatÆs Hebrew for ôBingo!ö?

    The absolutely only godly way to permanently defeat all enemies of
    Israel on all fronts, including either Hamas and/or Hezbollah
    now but also all others in the future, is by lifting up Israel's

    Declassified: Biden Admin Labeled COVID Dissenters æDomestic Violent

    Those who spoke out against vaccine and mask mandates were designated as >>> ôDVEsö

    Newly declassified intelligence records have revealed that the Biden
    administration labeled Americans who opposed the COVID-19 vaccination
    and mask mandates as ôDomestic Violent Extremists.ö

    The documents, which were declassified by DNI Tulsi Gabbard, show that
    they cutely abbreviated the term to æDVEsÆ.


    Catherine Herridge, one of the journalists who obtained the records,
    notes ôThe designation created an ôarticulable purposeö for FBI or other >>> government agents to open an ôassessmentö of individuals.ö


    A former FBI agent told Herridge that this ôis often the first step
    toward a formal investigation.ö

    Herridge further reports:

    The reportà claims that ôanti government or anti authority violent
    extremists,ö specifically militias, ôcharacterize COVID-19 vaccination
    and mask mandates as evidence of government overreach.ö A sweeping range >>> of COVID narratives, the report states, ôhave resonatedö with DVEs
    ômotivated by QAnon.ö

    GOWDR

    Check it out
    The FBI, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the National
    Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) coauthored the December 13, 2021
    intelligence product whose title reads, ôDVEs and Foreign Analogues May
    React Violently to COVID-19 Mitigation Mandates.ö

    The report cites criticism of mandates as ôprominent narrativesö related >>> to violent extremism. These narratives ôinclude the belief that COVID-19 >>> vaccines are unsafe, especially for children, are part of a government
    or global conspiracy to deprive individuals of their civil liberties and >>> livelihoods, or are designed to start a new social or political order.

    ôItÆs a way they could go to social media companies and say, æYou donÆt
    want to propagate domestic terrorism so you should take down this
    content,Æö said former FBI agent Steve Friend.


    Wow. Those violent extremists believing that COVID vaccines were
    potentially unsafe for young people.

    ItÆs not like they were 100% correct and big pharma is being forced to
    admit this is exactly the case.


    Herridge also reports that ôThe newly declassified report seems to draw
    a straight line between opposition to vaccine mandates and elevated
    levels of domestic terrorism.ö



    Not unless Trump officially reverses all the pardons made with the autopen. >>

    In the interim, we are 100% prepared/protected in the "full armor of
    GOD" (Ephesians 6:11) which we put on as soon as we use Apostle Paul's
    secret (Philippians 4:12). Though masking is less protective, it helps
    us avoid the appearance of doing the evil of spreading airborne
    pathogens while there are people getting sick because of not being
    100% protected. It is written that we're to "abstain from **all**
    appearance of doing evil" (1 Thessalonians 5:22 w/**emphasis**).

    Meanwhile, the only *perfect* (Matt 5:47-8 ) way to eradicate the
    COVID-19 virus, thereby saving lives, in the US & elsewhere is by
    rapidly (i.e. use the "Rapid COVID-19 Test" ) finding out at any given
    moment, including even while on-line, who among us are unwittingly
    contagious (i.e pre-symptomatic or asymptomatic) in order to
    "convince it forward" (John 15:12) for them to call their doctor and
    self-quarantine per their doctor in hopes of stopping this pandemic.
    Thus, we're hoping for the best while preparing for the worse-case
    scenario of the Alpha lineage mutations and others like the Omicron,
    Gamma, Beta, Epsilon, Iota, Lambda, Mu & Delta lineage mutations
    combining via slip-RNA-replication to form hybrids like "Deltamicron"
    that may render current COVID vaccines/monoclonals/medicines/pills no
    longer effective.

    Indeed, I am wonderfully hungry (

    Being Kept on Machines to Gestate a Fetus. It Was Inevitable.ö (IÆm
    using my last gift link of the month on this one, so youÆd better read
    it!) The writer was Kimberly Mutcherson, a professor at Rutgers Law School. >>>
    The entire piece radiates contempt for the concept of treating the
    unborn as human lives, which, you know, they are and rather undeniably
    so. Readers are informed that Adriana Smith is brain dead, and has been
    connected to life support machines for more than 90 days to save the
    life of her baby. Smith was nine weeks pregnant when she died from
    multiple blood clots in her brain.

    ôHer fetusÆs heart continued to beat,ö writes the professor, as if it
    was an abandoned car with a functioning carburetor. Georgia, she
    explains, is one of those crazy, fetus-worshiping states where a nascent >>> human being is deemed a human life that canÆt be snuffed out on a whim
    if it has a heartbeat. This, to the op-edÆs author, the headline writer
    and the New York Times is completely unfathomable.


    ôLegislators did not seem to have considered a situation in which a
    pregnant woman is legally dead,ö she sneers. Funny, I donÆt see why the
    death of the mother compels the decision that the child she is carrying
    should be considered a non-person and a life not worth saving. The
    professor quotes the dead womanÆs mother as saying, ôWe want the baby.
    ThatÆs a part of my daughter. But the decision should have been left to
    us ù not the state.ö Wait: donÆt we all believe that it is a proper
    function of the state to protect the lives of human beings and to pass
    laws that embody that duty? Do families have the option of letting the
    children of parents who are killed die from neglect because itÆs the
    familyÆs ôchoiceö?


    What is stunning (depressing, annoying, telling) about MutchersonÆs
    essay is that she canÆt grasp why anyone would argue that a brain dead
    mother should be kept alive so a vulnerable human being can become
    strong enough to live a life outside her womb. Many quotes in the op-ed
    make that clear, likeà

    ôReproductive justice advocates have long been clear that abortion law
    is never only about abortion. It is about the exercise of control over
    all pregnant women, regardless of whether they plan to carry their
    pregnancies to term. ThatÆs why the anti-abortion movement has pursued a >>> broad agenda of legal personhood for embryos and fetuses.ö My comment:
    ôThe Horrorö! These misguided people think that a human beingÆs life
    should be saved if at all possible. The monsters! This is the ôIt isnÆt
    what it is,ö ôHandmaidenÆs Taleö propaganda of the political left, not
    objective analysis. Anti-abortion advocates think that living human
    beings shouldnÆt be killed, thatÆs all. The position has nothing to do
    with ôcontrollingö the people who want to kill them any more than laws
    against murder are ôabout the exercise of controlö over citizens who
    would like to kill someone.
    ôThis kind of catastrophic event was inevitable, given the expansive and >>> imprecise laws written by legislators who generally lack medical
    expertise, and the inability of politicians to fully predict every
    emergency situation.ö My comment: The professor isnÆt referring to the
    motherÆs death as the ôcatastrophic event,ö but rather the brain dead
    womanÆs body being kept functioning so her baby can be born. I can
    conceive of valid arguments for why this should be considered bad policy >>> or a situation requiring special legislation. But whatÆs the
    catastrophe? The author is incapable of comprehending that in a
    utilitarian analysis, a Kantian analysis favoring human life, and
    reciprocity principles (ôIf you were the fetus, what would you want the
    hospital to do?ö), the situation is thoroughly defensible.
    ôEmory University Hospital, once Ms. SmithÆs place of employment, would
    not be legally allowed to remove organs from a brain-dead person without >>> family consent if this person hadnÆt previously registered her wish to
    be a donor, even if doing so could save or improve dozens of lives.
    However, according to Ms. SmithÆs mother, the hospital informed her
    that, because of the fetus her daughter was carrying, it could not
    legally withdraw the artificial means of keeping her body functioning.ö
    My comment: So? The professor thinks thatÆs an apt analogy: the dead
    womanÆs organs canÆt be harvested without her prior consent, so they
    will be allowed to die along with her. But a liver isnÆt a human being.
    Never mind; abortion advocates canÆt concede that what is at stake in an >>> abortion decision is a second human life. If they do, they know what
    abortion becomes.
    ôKnowing the tremendous work that the body of a pregnant woman must do
    to sustain and nourish a pregnancy, the harm to the fetus from being
    trapped inside a body without a functioning brain cannot be known with
    certainty.ö My comment: Consequentialism, the refuge of the ethically
    inert: ôItÆs a bad decision because it might not work.ö
    Mutcherson concludes by calling the situation ôdystopianöùthereÆs ôThe
    HandmaidenÆs Taleö mentality again. She can see no benefit or reason to
    try to save a human life. Bias has not only rendered her stupid, but so
    morally and ethically blind she canÆt see the other side of a genuine
    ethics conflict.

    As new Covid strain from China hits the US... some experts are calling
    for FACE MASKS to return

    Some experts are urging people to mask up amid rising alarm over a new
    Covid variant ù and fears of a summer wave of infections.

    The NB.1.8.1 strain is already thought to be driving a wave of
    infections across China, Hong Kong and Thailand ù along with upticks in
    hospitalizations.

    In the US, there have been fewer than 20 cases detected to date. But the >>> strain has been detected in travelers arriving in California, Washington >>> state, Virginia and New York City, raising fears it may be spreading
    quickly.







    Lab tests suggest the variant is more infectious than currently
    circulating strains, which means it could lead to a spike in infections
    and potentially hospital admissions.

    In Hong Kong, officials are already urging people to mask up,
    particularly while on public transport or in crowded places.

    And in the US, chatter about masks is beginning to creep in. Dr Amy
    Edwards, a pediatrician at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, >>> Ohio, told CBS News today that anyone who feels a 'little under the
    weather' should 'wear a mask'.

    Another expert calling for masks is Dr Melanie Matheu, an immunologist >>>from California who previously studied at the University of California,
    San Francisco.

    She told her 336,000 TikTok followers the US should brace for a 'summer
    wave' worse than that from the previous year.

    The above shows people wearing facemasks in Bangkok, Thailand, in March
    this year - which is among the countries reporting an uptick in Covid
    cases thought to be due to the new variant

    Patients sickened with the strain are suffering from similar symptoms to >>> those infected with other variants, scientists say, including a fever,
    cough, sore throat and fatigue.

    It is not clear how many deaths due to the variant have been recorded.

    Officials in Taiwan are also reporting a surge in Covid ER admissions,
    with numbers rising 78 percent in a week over the seven days to May 3,
    the latest data shows.

    And in Hong Kong, the proportion of swabs testing positive for the virus >>> has now hit a 12-month high ù at 13.66 percent of samples used.

    Dr Edwards said: 'If you're a little under the weather, but well enough
    to be out and about, wear a mask.'

    Advising on other strategies to control the virus, she said: 'Good cough >>> and sneezing hygiene, good hand washing, staying home if you're not
    feeling well to keep other people from catching what you've got.'

    Dr Matheu added: 'My advice would be the same around these variants.

    'Make sure you get your updated booster, wear a mask ù especially if you >>> are vulnerable, high risk, live or work with anyone who is vulnerable or >>> high risk ù and make sure there is good air circulation in your indoors

    Authorities in Hong Kong have already urged people to start wearing face >>> masks again amid concern over the new variant.

    In a statement posted to the Hong Kong Department of Health's website,
    officials said: 'High-risk persons (e.g. persons with underlying medical >>> conditions or persons who are immunocompromised) should wear surgical
    masks when visiting public places.

    'The general public should also wear a surgical mask when traveling on
    public transport or staying in crowded places.

    'When respiratory symptoms appear, one should wear a surgical mask,
    consider avoiding going to work or school, avoid going to crowded places >>> and seek medical advice promptly.'


    A spokeswoman for the CDC said the agency was 'aware' of the new
    variant, but said few cases had been detected to date.

    NB.1.8.1 was first detected in January this year and is thought to have
    originated somewhere in Asia.

    To date, it has now spread to 22 countries and a total of 518 cases have >>> been detected. There is no data on hospitalizations or deaths.

    Scientists say, however, that the infection figures are likely a huge
    underestimate ù pointing out that many now do not test for Covid and
    that government's have majorly scaled back their Covid variant
    monitoring programs.

    The proportion of cases caused by the variant is spiking globally, and
    is up four-fold in the latest month with data available. It was behind
    2.5 percent of all Covid cases globally at the start of April, but by
    the end of the month, this had surged to 10.7 percent.

    Travelers arriving in the US infected with the variant arrived between
    April 22 and May 12 from the following countries: China, Japan, Vietnam, >>> South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, France, the Netherlands and Spain.

    The variant has also been detected in Hawaii, Rhode Island and Ohio.

    In the interim, we are 100% prepared/protected in the "full armor of
    GOD" (Ephesians 6:11) which we put on as soon as we use Apostle Paul's
    secret (Philippians 4:12). Though masking is less protective, it helps
    us avoid the appearance of doing the evil of spreading airborne
    pathogens while there are people getting sick because of not being
    100% protected. It is written that we're to "abstain from **all**
    appearance of doing evil" (1 Thessalonians 5:22 w/**emphasis**).

    Meanwhile, the only *perfect* (Matt 5:47-8 ) way to eradicate the
    COVID-19 virus, thereby saving lives, in the US & elsewhere is by
    rapidly (i.e. use the "Rapid COVID-19 Test" ) finding out at any given
    moment, including even while on-line, who among us are unwittingly
    contagious (i.e pre-symptomatic or asymptomatic) in order to
    "convince it forward" (John 15:12) for them to call their doctor and
    self-quarantine per their doctor in hopes of stopping this pandemic.
    Thus, we're hoping for the best while preparing for the worse-case
    scenario of the Alpha lineage mutations and others like the Omicron,
    Gamma, Beta, Epsilon, Iota, Lambda, Mu & Delta lineage mutations
    combining via slip-RNA-replication to form hybrids like "Deltamicron"
    that may render current COVID vaccines/monoclonals/medicines/pills no
    longer effective.

    https://groups.google.com/g/sci.med.cardiology/c/6ZoE95d-VKc/m/14vVZoyOBgAJ >> ) and hope you, Michael, also have a healthy appetite too.

    ôNever Mind!ö The Axis Media Spreads Hamas Anti-Israel Propaganda, and
    There Are No Consequences
    June 4, 2025 / Jack Marshall


    The Washington Post last night retracted its story misrepresenting an
    incident in Gaza. The Post, like most of the news media, falsely claimed >>> that Israel killed 30 Gazan civilians who were just trying to get some
    food (you know, the ôAww, poor Palestinians, still being persecuted by
    those evil Jews!ö narrative).

    The PostÆs statement was posted on X rather than on its website, and
    announced that the paper had ôdeleted the post below because it and
    early versions of the article didnÆt meet Post fairness standards.ö
    ThatÆs another lie, as it is pure deceit. The story had to be deleted
    because it was false and should not have been published in the first
    place. Yes, false news stories are unfair, but thatÆs a secondary problem. >>>
    Palestinian Arab sources had spread the claim that an Israeli strike
    near a humanitarian aid distribution center resulted in at least 30
    deaths and numerous injuries. The international media outlets didnÆt
    consider the source, and leaped to the conclusion that Israel was
    committing war crimes.

    Later that same day, the IDF released the findings of its initial
    investigation into the incident. These findings indicated that the IDF
    did not fire at civilians while they were near or within the
    humanitarian aid distribution site, and that the reports being
    circulated as fact by media outlets were false. Yet even after the story >>> had been discredited, CNN and MSNBC (among others) continued to stick
    with the original. anti-Israel spin. I saw this in real time: a Fox News >>> guest told viewers that the report had been debunked, and at exactly the >>> same time, the two Axis networks were repeating the original account.

    The IDF again called on the media to be cautious with information
    published by the Hamas terrorist organization. Gee, ya think? But they
    arenÆt careful and donÆt want to be careful. They want to back the
    Democratic PartyÆs position that Israel is the villain for reacting to
    an unprovoked terrorist attack exactly as the United Sates would (and
    has): by crushing the attacker and ensuring that the actions could never >>> be repeated.

    Saying ôOopsie! Never mind!ö does not undo the damage caused by the
    original false reporting. That the Post and other media outlets would
    accept without confirmation a Hamas narrative shows where their
    confirmation bias lies, and why they are no longer trustworthy.

    The only godly way to establish lasting real peace for Israel is by
    lifting up their real Messiah Who is our #1 Example of living
    http://WonderfullyHungry.org (Luke 24:42-3).

    Indeed, I am http://WonderfullyHungry.org (Philippians 4:12) for food

    A case study in groupthinkÆ: were liberals wrong about the pandemic?

    Were conservatives right to question Covid lockdowns? Were the liberals
    who defended them less grounded in science than they believed? And did
    liberal dismissiveness of the other side come at a cost that Americans
    will continue to pay for many years?

    A new book by two political scientists argues yes to all three
    questions, making the case that the aggressive policies that the US and
    other countries adopted to fight Covid û including school shutdowns,
    business closures, mask mandates and social distancing û were in some
    cases misguided and in many cases deserved more rigorous public debate.

    In their peer-reviewed book, In CovidÆs Wake: How Our Politics Failed
    Us, Stephen Macedo and Frances Lee argue that public health authorities, >>> the mainstream media, and progressive elites often pushed pandemic
    measures without weighing their costs and benefits, and ostracized
    people who expressed good-faith disagreement.

    ôPolicy learning seemed to be short-circuited during the pandemic,ö Lee
    said. ôIt became so moralized, like: æWeÆre not interested in looking at >>> how other people are [responding to the pandemic], because only bad
    people would do it a different way from the way weÆre doingÆ.ö

    She and Macedo spoke to the Guardian by video call. The Princeton
    University professors both consider themselves left-leaning, and the
    book grew out of research Macedo was doing on the ways progressive
    discourse gets handicapped by a refusal to engage with conservative or
    outside arguments. ôCovid is an amazing case study in groupthink and the >>> effects of partisan bias,ö he said.

    Many Covid stances presented as public health consensus were not as
    grounded in empirical evidence as many Americans may have believed,
    Macedo and Lee argue. At times, scientific and health authorities acted
    less like neutral experts and more like self-interested actors, engaging >>> in PR efforts to downplay uncertainty, missteps or conflicts of interest. >>>
    ItÆs a controversial argument. Covid-19 killed more than a million
    Americans, according to US government estimates. The early days of the
    pandemic left hospitals overwhelmed, morgues overflowing, and scientists >>> scrambling to understand the new disease and how to contain it.

    Still, Macedo and Lee say, it is unclear why shutdowns and closures went >>> on so long, particularly in Democratic states. The book argues that in
    the US the pandemic became more politically polarized over time, after,
    initially, ôonly modest policy differences between Republican- and
    Democratic-leaning statesö.

    After April 2020, however, red and blue America diverged. Donald Trump
    contributed to that polarization by downplaying the severity of the
    virus. Significant policy differences also emerged. Ron DeSantis, the
    Republican governor of Florida, moved to re-open physical schools
    quickly, which progressives characterized as irresponsible.

    Yet in the end there was ôno meaningful differenceö in Covid mortality
    rates between Democratic and Republican states in the pre-vaccine
    period, according to CDC data cited in the book, despite Republican
    statesÆ more lenient policies. Macedo and Lee also favorably compare
    Sweden, which controversially avoided mass lockdowns but ultimately had
    a lower mortality rate than many other European countries.

    Covid is an amazing case study in groupthink and the effects of partisan >>> bias
    The shutdowns had foreseeable and quantifiable costs, they say, many of
    which we are still paying. Learning loss and school absenteeism soared.
    Inflation went through the roof thanks in part to lockdown spending and
    stimulus payments. Small businesses defaulted; other medical treatments
    like cancer screenings and mental health care suffered; and rates of
    loneliness and crime increased. The economic strain on poor and minority >>> Americans was particularly severe.

    Covid policies escalated into culture wars, amplifying tensions around
    other social issues. TeachersÆ unions, which are often bastions of
    Democratic support, painted school re-openings as ôrooted in sexism,
    racism, and misogynyö and ôa recipe for à structural racismö, the book
    notes, despite the fact that minority and poor students were most
    disadvantaged by remote learning.

    These measures also had a literal price. ôIn inflation-adjusted terms,ö
    Macedo and Lee write, ôthe United States spent more on pandemic aid in
    2020 than it spent on the 2009 stimulus package and the New Deal
    combinedö û or about what the US spent on war production in 1943.

    Yet of the $5tn that the US Congress authorized in 2020 and 2021 for
    Covid expenditure, only about 10% went to direct medical expenses such
    as hospitals or vaccine distribution, according to the book; most of the >>> spending was on economic relief to people and businesses affected by
    shutdowns. Ten per cent of that relief was stolen by fraud, according to >>> the AP.

    The pandemic was an emergency with no modern precedent, of course, and
    hindsight is easy. But In CovidÆs Wake tries to take into account what
    information was known at the time û including earlier pandemic
    preparedness studies. Reports by Johns Hopkins (2019), the World Health
    Organization (2019), the state of Illinois (2014) and the British
    government (2011) had all expressed ambivalence or caution about the
    kind of quarantine measures that were soon taken.

    ôWe take a look at the state of the evidence as it was in early 2020,ö
    Lee said. ôIt was clear at the time that the evidence was quite
    unsettled around all of this, and if policymakers had been more honest
    with the public about these uncertainties, I think they would have
    maintained public trust better.ö

    They wanted there to be an answer û that if we do X and Y, we can
    prevent this disaster. And so theyÆre kind of grasping at straws
    The Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security hosted a wargaming exercise >>> in October 2019, shortly before the pandemic began, to simulate a deadly >>> coronavirus pandemic; the findings explicitly urged that ô[t]ravel and
    trade à be maintained even in the face of a pandemicö. Similarly, a WHO
    paper in 2019 said that some measures û such as border closures and
    contact tracing û were ônot recommended in any circumstancesö.

    ôAnd yet we did all of that in short order,ö Macedo said, ôand without
    people referring back to these plans.ö

    He and Lee also believe there was a strong element of class bias, with a >>> left-leaning ôlaptop classö that could easily work from home touting
    anti-Covid measures that were much easier for some Americans to adopt
    than others. Many relatively affluent Americans became even wealthier
    during the pandemic, in part due to rising housing values.

    At the same time, the laptop class was only able to socially isolate at
    home in part because other people risked exposure to provide groceries.
    Stay-at-home measures were partly intended to protect ôessential
    workersö, but policymakers living in crisis-stricken major metropolitan
    areas such as New York or Washington DC did not reckon with why social
    distancing and other measures might be less important in rural parts of
    the country where Covid rates were lower.

    Lockdowns were intended to slow CovidÆs spread, yet previous pandemic
    recommendations had suggested they only be used very early in an
    outbreak and even then do not buy much time, Macedo said.

    Policymakers and experts often embraced stringent measures for reasons
    that are more political than medical, Macedo and Lee argue; in a
    pandemic, authorities are keen to assure anxious publics that they are
    ôin chargeö and ôdoing somethingö.

    In strange contrast, policymakers and journalists in the US and
    elsewhere seemed to take China as a model, the book argues, despite the
    fact that China is an authoritarian state and had concealed the scale of >>> the outbreak during the crucial early days of the pandemic. Its regime
    had obvious incentives to mislead foreign observers, and used draconian
    quarantine measures such as physically welding people into their homes.

    When the WHO organized a joint China field mission with the Chinese
    government, in February 2020, non-Chinese researchers found it difficult >>> to converse with their Chinese counterparts away from government
    handlers. Yet the WHOÆs report was ôeffusive in its praiseö of ChinaÆs
    approach, the book notes.

    ôMy view is that there was just a great deal of wishful thinking on the
    part of technocrats of all kinds,ö Lee said. ôThey wanted there to be an >>> answer û that if we do X and Y, we can prevent this disaster. And so
    theyÆre kind of grasping at straws. The Chinese example gave them hope.ö >>> She noted that Covid policymakers might have been better served if there >>> had been people assigned to act as devilÆs advocates in internal
    deliberations.

    Lee and Macedo are not natural scientists or public health
    professionals, they emphasize, and their book is about failures in
    public deliberation over Covid-19, rather than a prescription for
    managing pandemics.

    But they do wade into the debate about Covid-19Æs origin, arguing that
    the ôlab leakö hypothesis û that Covid-19 accidentally leaked from the
    Wuhan Institute of Virology, rather than spontaneously leaping from
    animals to humans û was unfairly dismissed.

    The Wuhan Institute studied coronaviruses similar to the one responsible >>> for Covid-19, had a documented history of safety breaches, was located
    near the outbreak, and is known to have experimented on viruses using
    controversial ôgain-of-functionö methods funded by the US, which involve >>> mutating pathogens to see what they might look like in a more advanced
    or dangerous form.

    If policymakers had been more honest with the public about these
    uncertainties, I think they would have maintained public trust better
    Perhaps because Trump had fanned racial paranoia by calling Covid-19 the >>> ôChina virusö and rightwing influencers were spreading the notion that
    it had been deliberately engineered and unleashed on the world by China, >>> many scientists, public health experts and journalists reacted by
    framing the idea of a lab leak û even an accidental one û as an
    offensive conspiracy theory. Dr Anthony Fauci and other top public
    health figures were evasive or in some cases dishonest about the
    possibility of a lab leak, Macedo and Lee say, as well as the fact that
    a US non-profit funded by the National Institutes of Health allegedly
    funded gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute.

    Since then, though, the CIA and other US intelligence agencies have
    cautiously endorsed the lab leak theory, and the discourse around Covid
    has softened somewhat. The economist Emily Oster sparked immense
    backlash by arguing against school closures in 2020. Now publications
    such as New York Magazine and the New York Times have acknowledged the
    plausibility of the lab leak hypothesis, for example, and there is
    growing consensus that school closures hurt many children.

    The reception to In CovidÆs Wake has been more positive than Macedo and
    Lee expected û perhaps a sign that some of their arguments have
    penetrated the mainstream, if not that weÆve gotten better as a society
    at talking about difficult things. ôThe reception of the book has been
    much less controversial [and] contentious than we expected,ö Macedo said. >>>

    virus
    Read more
    Yet the wounds fester and debates continue. Some readers of the New York >>> Times were furious when The Daily, the newspaperÆs flagship podcast,
    recently interviewed them, with subscribers arguing that the episode was >>> not sufficiently critical of their stance. And some coverage of the book >>> has criticized it for underplaying the danger of the disease.

    Macedo and Lee said that a few of their colleagues have expressed
    concern that their critique could fuel political attacks on science û a
    worry that crossed their minds too. ôOur response is that the best way
    to refute criticisms that science and universities have been politicized >>> is to be open to criticism and willing to engage in self-criticism,ö
    Macedo said.

    ôWe need to make sure these institutions are in the best possible
    working order to face the challenges ahead. And we think thatÆs by being >>> honest, not by covering over mistakes or being unwilling to face up to
    hard questions.ö

    In the interim, we are 100% prepared/protected in the "full armor of
    GOD" (Ephesians 6:11) which we put on as soon as we use Apostle Paul's
    secret (Philippians 4:12). Though masking is less protective, it helps
    us avoid the appearance of doing the evil of spreading airborne
    pathogens while there are people getting sick because of not being
    100% protected. It is written that we're to "abstain from **all**
    appearance of doing evil" (1 Thessalonians 5:22 w/**emphasis**).

    Meanwhile, the only *perfect* (Matt 5:47-8 ) way to eradicate the
    COVID-19 virus, thereby saving lives, in the US & elsewhere is by
    rapidly (i.e. use the "Rapid COVID-19 Test" ) finding out at any given
    moment, including even while on-line, who among us are unwittingly
    contagious (i.e pre-symptomatic or asymptomatic) in order to
    "convince it forward" (John 15:12) for them to call their doctor and
    self-quarantine per their doctor in hopes of stopping this pandemic.
    Thus, we're hoping for the best while preparing for the worse-case
    scenario of the Alpha lineage mutations and others like the Omicron,
    Gamma, Beta, Epsilon, Iota, Lambda, Mu & Delta lineage mutations
    combining via slip-RNA-replication to form hybrids like "Deltamicron"
    that may render current COVID vaccines/monoclonals/medicines/pills no
    longer effective.

    Indeed, I am wonderfully hungry (
    https://groups.google.com/g/sci.med.cardiology/c/6ZoE95d-VKc/m/14vVZoyOBgAJ >> ) and hope you, Michael, also have a healthy appetite too.

    So how are you ?

    I am wonderfully hungry!

    While wonderfully hungry in the Holy Spirit, Who causes (Deuteronomy
    8:3) us to hunger, I note that you, Michael, are rapture ready (Luke
    17:37 means no COVID just as eagles circling over their food have no
    COVID) and pray (2 Chronicles 7:14) that our Everlasting (Isaiah 9:6)
    Father in Heaven continues to give us "much more" (Luke 11:13) Holy
    Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23) so that we'd have much more of His Help to
    always say/write that we're "wonderfully hungry" in **all** ways
    including especially caring to "convince it forward" (John 15:12) with
    all glory (Psalm112:1) to GOD (aka HaShem, Elohim, Abba, DEO), in
    the name (John 16:23) of LORD Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Amen.

    Last month marked the fifth anniversary of the day when New Delhi
    announced the most stringent lockdown in the world, giving just four
    hours to over a billion people to prepare to be trapped in their homes
    for at least three weeks. I will never forget that evening. It was my
    first encounter with police brutality as I was lathi-charged along with
    dozens of fellow villagers as we scampered to buy groceries in the
    middle of the night, a brutal reward for having been patriotic citizens
    who obeyed our leadersÆ exhortations to not hoard food. And I bore
    witness, in the weeks that followed, to the tragedy of millions of the
    urban poor, who were left without work or shelter and had to trudge on
    foot for days to reach their homes in distant villages. How can we ever
    forget those images or the harrowing devastation which swept the country >>> the following year?

    Five years later, what are the lessons we can draw from the local,
    national and global response to the pandemic? The pandemic exposed the
    brittle and polarised character of our own society, and of countries
    around the world, amplifying its worst features when faced with an
    existential threat. The results, in hindsight, were predictable. Those
    who wielded historic power in society, from the wealthy to politicians, >>>from medical practitioners to scientists, from global institutions to
    the media, all acted in ways which fell well short of what our
    communities were entitled to expect. We were offered ideology instead of >>> science. We endured hubris instead of humility. At a time when enormous
    uncertainties prevailed, inequities were accelerated as solidarity with
    the weakest, already much eroded after half a century of neo-liberal
    economic policies, faded altogether.

    In the end, perhaps the biggest casualty of all was truth itself.

    Although truth is often viewed as the objective interpretation of facts, >>> the tension between them is as old as humanity. Still, there is no
    denying that this tension has been greatly catalysed by the confluence
    of the smartphone and social media. While the expression of truth
    requires thoughtful reflection, analysis and confirmation of facts,
    social media posts need nothing more than an impulsive,
    emotionally-charged reaction that could be issued in an instant and
    spread without any filter. The pandemic offered fertile ground to
    accelerate this growing rupture between truth and facts.

    Thanks to the billions of dollars spent on investigating the origins of
    the pandemic, its impact on populations and the effectiveness of various >>> strategies to control it, there are not only countless facts but
    equally, divergent versions of the truth to interpret these facts. This
    leads to even more questions that remain unanswered. Consider just a few >>> of them. Could less restrictive measures like masking and staying at
    home when you had the infection have been just as effective as a total
    lockdown? Did we need to spray all items, even human beings, with
    disinfectant? Did we need to shut schools for as long as we did, leading >>> to the largest loss of learning in children and decline in mental health >>> in young people ever recorded? Did vaccination stop the spread of the
    infection and, if not, why was it compulsory? How much money did Big
    Pharma and the medical profession make along the way, peddling medicines >>> that turned out to be useless?

    And perhaps the biggest questions of all: What was the origin of the
    virus and how many people actually died? How is it that some of the most >>> celebrated scientists in the world jumped to conclude that the virus
    emerged from the wild just months into the pandemic, while, five years
    later, every investigation has concluded that we donÆt know its origin?
    If anything, it now appears that the consensus is shifting to an
    accidental lab leak, which, if it was ever confirmed (a remote
    possibility given the assiduous clean-up of the potential crime scene in >>> Wuhan), would surely prove to be the deadliest cover-up in history.

    How many people died in India? Given that the estimates of the
    government and those of independent scientists vary up to eightfold, and >>> there is no reliable mortality data for the deadliest year of the
    pandemic, will we ever know the truth?

    Truth is increasingly fluid, and the line between truth and lies is
    becoming ever more amorphous, with ideology and emotions seeming to
    carry more weight than facts. While it may not be surprising that policy >>> making is only occasionally guided by facts, science, which claims to
    put facts at the heart of its mission, often betrays its ideological
    moorings too. For example, I recall being warned, during the early days
    of the pandemic, by colleagues in the academy to quieten my advocacy
    against school closures and lockdowns to minimise the risk of appearing
    to side with the anti-science brigade. The influence of ideology on how
    a fact is interpreted or different facts presented to address the same
    question, has now become the norm for a whole range of actors ù the
    government, civil society, pharma, healthcare providers, scientists and
    the media.

    Truth, then, has been the biggest casualty of the past five years,
    powered by the distortion or denial of facts and accompanied by the
    decline of trust in the institutions that people rely on to tell the
    truth. In its place, propaganda, rumour, myths and misinformation have
    taken hold of the collective imagination. While the pandemic today seems >>> like a passΘ topic that most prefer not to think about, it is important
    not to forget that people were dying by the hundreds of thousands just a >>> few years ago. Moreover, the pandemicÆs enduring legacy, the inexorable
    decline of truth and trust, continues to dominate our lives, grievously
    wounding our humanity and, arguably, the very idea of democracy.

    somebody put there with a Welrod."- 4/26/1996

    It is hard to imagine that this was twenty-nine years ago! Chris has >>> greatly influenced my own political views since then.

    How is this even possible?

    It is written that "with GOD all things are possible" (Matthew 19:26).

    He got that right!


    In the interim, the only godly way to stop gun violence and others
    forms of terrorism including racism, bigotry, and antisemitism, is our
    lifting up our #1 perfect (Matthew 5:48) Example of living Wonderfully
    Hungry (Luke 4:2, Matthew 4:2, and Luke 24:42-43). So indeed, I am
    "wonderfully hungry" (Philippians 4:12) for food right now (Luke
    6:21a) and hope you, Michael, and others reading this, also have a
    healthy appetite for food right now too.

    So how are you ?

    I am wonderfully hungry!

    While wonderfully hungry in the Holy Spirit, Who causes (Deuteronomy
    8:3) us to hunger, I note that you, Michael, are rapture ready (Luke
    17:37 means no COVID just as eagles circling over their food have no
    COVID) and pray (2 Chronicles 7:14) that our Everlasting (Isaiah 9:6)
    Father in Heaven continues to give us "much more" (Luke 11:13) Holy
    Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23) so that we'd have much more of His Help to
    always say/write that we're "wonderfully hungry" in **all** ways
    including especially caring to "convince it forward" (John 15:12) with
    all glory (Psalm112:1) to GOD (aka HaShem, Elohim, Abba, DEO), in
    the name (John 16:23) of LORD Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Amen.

    Ontario backs down, admits that roadside billboard does not promote hatred >>> April 29, 2025
    Share this:



    Media inquiries: media@jccf.ca

    George Katerberg on top of his original billboard (Courtesy of George
    Katerberg)
    SUDBURY, ON: The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms is pleased
    that the Ontario Ministry of Transportation has reversed its decision to >>> ban a proposed roadside billboard that criticized politicians and health >>> officials for Covid vaccine mandates.

    George Katerberg is a retired HVAC technician and business owner. After
    the era of Covid lockdowns, he decided to close his business, sell his
    home and move to Thessalon, Ontario, along the shores of Lake Huron.

    On March 1, 2024, Mr. Katerberg rented a billboard along Highway 17 near >>> Thessalon.

    The billboard displayed the faces of various Government of Canada
    officials, including former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, the Deputy
    Prime Minister, the leader of the federal NDP party, the Ontario
    Premier, the Chief Public Health Officer of Canada, and the former
    Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases,
    Dr. Anthony Fauci.

    The sign read, ôThey knowingly lied about safety and stopping
    [transmission],ö and ôCanadians demand accountability.ö The sign also
    featured an image of two hammers behind a Canadian flag. Mr. Katerberg
    said the design was inspired by a symbol from the 1979 Pink Floyd album, >>> The Wall, which addressed government overreach.

    Shortly after the billboard was erected, the Ontario Ministry of
    Transportation ordered that the billboard be removed, claiming that the
    image of the two hammers represented white supremacist ideology. This
    was news to Mr. Katerberg.

    The Ministry also ordered that Mr. Katerberg contact them in advance for >>> pre-approval of any future signs he might wish to display.

    Mr. Katerberg immediately removed the billboard. He then prepared a new
    billboard with the same message, but he replaced the image of the two
    hammers behind a Canadian flag with an image of the Canadian flag alone. >>> Mr. Katerberg submitted the billboard to the Ministry for approval on
    June 18, 2024.

    On June 28, 2024, the Ministry denied Mr. KaterbergÆs modified
    billboard, advising him that ô[t]he message on the billboard may be seen >>> as promoting hatred or contempt for the individuals pictured on the
    billboard, which may violate certain policies regarding advertising.ö

    ôAny other billboards that you wish to erect on the highway must be
    pre-approved by the [Ministry],ö an email advised.

    With help from the Justice Centre, Mr. Katerberg stood up for freedom of >>> expression and the right to hold the government to account.

    Mr. Katerberg asked the Superior Court of Justice in Ontario to review
    the decision of the Ministry. (In a judicial review, a court ensures
    that the decisions of administrative bodies, like the Ontario Ministry
    of Transportation, are fair, reasonable, and lawful.)

    Mr. Katerberg argued that the MinistryÆs decision was unreasonable and
    that it did not balance his Charter right to freedom of expression with
    the purposes of relevant legislation.

    In his application to the Court, Mr. Katerberg noted, ôThe Sign does not >>> promote violence, hatred, or contemptàFurther, the Sign does not target
    any æidentifiable groupÆà To the extent that the six well-known public
    figures featured on the Sign form a group at all, it is on the basis of
    their collective response to the Covid-19 pandemic in their political
    and/or professional capacity.ö

    Six days before the federal election in Canada, on April 23, 2025, the
    Ministry reversed its position and agreed that the sign did not promote
    hatred. The Ministry will now consider Mr. KaterbergÆs billboard.

    Mr. Katerberg says the sign has always been about providing hope to
    Canadians. ôI knew if people saw my sign, they would not be scared to
    talk about the mandates,ö he remarked. ôI knew there was nothing wrong
    with my sign.ö

    He also thanked the Justice Centre donors. ôIÆm self-employed and worked >>> hard all my life. I wouldnÆt of been able to take on this case myself.
    IÆm glad the Justice Centre was able to support me,ö Mr. Katerberg
    concluded.

    Constitutional lawyer Chris Fleury stated, ôMr. KaterbergÆs proposed
    sign was a matter of legitimate expression protected by the Charter. In
    a functioning democracy, individuals like Mr. Katerberg need to be able
    to express their dissatisfaction with public officials. We are pleased
    that Ontario has agreed that the billboard does not promote hatred and
    will reconsider its decision.ö

    In the interim, we are 100% prepared/protected in the "full armor of
    GOD" (Ephesians 6:11) which we put on as soon as we use Apostle Paul's
    secret (Philippians 4:12). Though masking is less protective, it helps
    us avoid the appearance of doing the evil of spreading airborne
    pathogens while there are people getting sick because of not being
    100% protected. It is written that we're to "abstain from **all**
    appearance of doing evil" (1 Thessalonians 5:22 w/**emphasis**).

    Meanwhile, the only *perfect* (Matt 5:47-8 ) way to eradicate the
    COVID-19 virus, thereby saving lives, in Canada & elsewhere is by
    rapidly (i.e. use the "Rapid COVID-19 Test" ) finding out at any given
    moment, including even while on-line, who among us are unwittingly
    contagious (i.e pre-symptomatic or asymptomatic) in order to
    "convince it forward" (John 15:12) for them to call their doctor and
    self-quarantine per their doctor in hopes of stopping this pandemic.
    Thus, we're hoping for the best while preparing for the worse-case
    scenario of the Alpha lineage mutations and others like the Omicron,
    Gamma, Beta, Epsilon, Iota, Lambda, Mu & Delta lineage mutations
    combining via slip-RNA-replication to form hybrids like "Deltamicron"
    that may render current COVID vaccines/monoclonals/medicines/pills no
    longer effective.

    Indeed, I am wonderfully hungry (
    https://groups.google.com/g/sci.med.cardiology/c/6ZoE95d-VKc/m/14vVZoyOBgAJ >> ) and hope you, Michael, also have a healthy appetite too.

    So how are you ?

    I am wonderfully hungry!

    While wonderfully hungry in the Holy Spirit, Who causes (Deuteronomy
    8:3) us to hunger, I note that you, Michael, are rapture ready (Luke
    17:37 means no COVID just as eagles circling over their food have no
    COVID) and pray (2 Chronicles 7:14) that our Everlasting (Isaiah 9:6)
    Father in Heaven continues to give us "much more" (Luke 11:13) Holy
    Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23) so that we'd have much more of His Help to

    Earlier this week, we ran a collection of pieces by the new leaders of
    American public healthùdoctors Jay Bhattacharya, Marty Makary, and Vinay >>> Prasadùall of whom just happen to have contributed to The Free Press.
    Five years ago, they raised serious questions in our pages about
    lockdowns, shuttered schools, and vaccine mandatesùquestions for which
    they were vilified. Now, all of them have been not only vindicated, but
    promoted to some of the highest offices in public health. But these
    leaders are only part of the story. Behind them is a ragtag group of
    ordinary Americans who also asked questions during the Covid era, and
    kept asking them, even though they were belittled, discredited, and
    ostracized. In todayÆs piece, reporter Carrie McKean profiles these
    individuals, and asks them: How can we move forward? How can these new
    leaders restore our faith in public health?
    ùThe Editors


    Five years ago, Kelley Krohnert, a wife and mother who lives just
    outside Atlanta and runs a small photography business, was, like most of >>> us, filled with dread and confusion. It was the early days of Covid. At
    the time, the Georgia Health Department wasnÆt keeping a public record
    of the number of cases. So Kelley, whoÆs in her forties, began plugging
    numbers she saw on the news into her own spreadsheet and started a
    website, Covid-Georgia.com, to share her data, gaining a wide following
    on Twitter (now X) under the handle @KelleyKGa.

    It didnÆt take long for Krohnert to start noticing statistical errors,
    which grew only more common as time went on. The CDCÆs own ôunofficialö
    Covid Data Tracker of cases from across the nation often reported higher >>> pediatric death counts than the official numbers on the National Center
    for Health Statistics website. And the media often reported those higher >>> numbers. As time went on, the CDC reported that 4 percent of Covid
    deaths were children, when their own data showed it was .04 percent. In
    2022, she discovered that a frightening study cited by the CDC during
    its push for a pediatric Covid vaccine vastly inflated the diseaseÆs
    risk to children; for example, it compared 26 months of Covid-associated >>> deaths to one year of deaths from other causes.


    ôThese were mistakes and errors a middle-school student wouldnÆt make,ö
    Krohnert said of errors she found in CDC Covid data. (Angela Weiss/AFP
    via Getty Images)
    ôThese were mistakes and errors a middle-school student wouldnÆt make,ö
    Krohnert told me. She didnÆt start out with any inherent suspicion of
    the government. She expected officials to be a trusted source of
    information and to deliver level-headed guidance. But the more she
    burrowed into the Covid numbers, the more problems she saw. And
    remarkably, all the errors she identified made things seem worse and
    more dangerous than they were.

    Krohnert did get some recognition and vindication. After she alerted the >>> authors of the study about their errors regarding CovidÆs risks to
    children, they immediately made corrections, and the CDC eventually
    stopped claiming Covid was one of the top five killers of children. Yet
    Krohnert said the agency never responded to her directly. It also
    characterized her as just ôa person with a web page or a blogö in an
    email that became public following an FOIA request to the studyÆs
    authors. And it plowed ahead with approval of the childhood Covid
    vaccine. After Krohnert replied to a post by Surgeon General Jerome
    Adams that defended Covid vaccine trials, he posted a thread. ôYou trust >>> your electrician / plumber / tax preparer. You should trust your doc,ö
    Adams wrote.

    As for the inflated case numbers? Eventually, the CDC quietly removed
    72,277 misattributed deaths from the Covid Data Tracker, a data
    correction attributed to KrohnertÆs advocacy by The BMJ (formerly the
    British Medical Journal).

    Looking back now through the fog of Covid, it is easy to overlook the
    data nerds, virologists, epidemiologists, and ordinary citizens like
    Krohnert who, scattered across the country, doggedly fact-checked the
    U.S. government. For their efforts, they were censored and shadow-banned >>> on social media, scorned by polite society, and discredited as
    dangerous, science-denying conspiracy theorists by high-level government >>> officials and the mainstream media. But they persisted, and 40 to 50 of
    them eventually connected on Twitter, creating an informal group they
    dubbed ôRational Ground/Team Reality.ö

    its push for a pediatric Covid vaccine vastly inflated the diseaseÆs
    risk to children. (Michael Nagle/Xinhua via Getty Images)
    And since then, times have changed. Today, Team Reality is seeing their
    recommendations adopted by the federal government.

    One of the medical experts who broke with the consensus during the
    pandemic and joined forces with Rational Ground, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, a >>> professor of health policy at Stanford University School of Medicine, is >>> now the director of the National Institutes of Health. Two weeks ago, in >>> one of his first official actions, Bhattacharya announced that the NIH
    will accelerate the rollout of a plan to make available to the public
    all data gathered from taxpayer-funded NIH scientific research studies.
    ItÆs a policy recommendation consistently put forth by members of
    Rational Ground.

    ôI believe very strongly that the products and data produced by
    scientific projects paid for by the public should be available to the
    public,ö Bhattacharya told me in an email. Just 26 percent of Americans
    have a great deal of confidence that scientists are working for the
    public good, a recent poll found. Bhattacharya said rebuilding that
    fractured trust is at the core of what he must accomplish in his new job. >>>

    ôIt was a kind of pinch-me moment,ö said Justin Hart, a 53-year-old data >>> and marketing consultant based in San Diego, about a gathering a few
    weeks ago with Bhattacharya near Washington to celebrate the appointment >>> of the ôfringe epidemiologist,ö as he was baselessly called by former
    NIH director Dr. Francis Collins, to run the agency.

    Just two years ago, Hart, his wife Jenny, their toddler daughter, and
    Bhattacharya had walked the halls of Capitol Hill, passing out a
    one-page Rational Ground advocacy sheet and fruitlessly seeking
    conversations with lawmakers willing to consider their heterodox views.

    Hart and Bhattacharya connected in the early days of the pandemic thanks >>> to mutual friends at Stanford. A small group gathered to meet after
    reading an article by Dr. John Ioannidis, a Stanford statistician and
    professor of biomedical data science. He said some of the same things
    they had all been thinking, including his warning in March 2020 that
    public-health officials were making consequential decisions without good >>> data and calling the Covid response a potential ôfiasco in the making.ö

    From there, Team Reality grew. They became supporters of the Great
    Barrington Declaration, a document written by Bhattacharya and two
    colleagues, advocating for focused protection for those most vulnerable
    to Covid, and a return to close-to-normal life for the rest of society.
    The team plowed ahead with their advocacy, taking solace in their ragtag >>> community when they faced the scorn of the mainstream.

    ôWe had people who were apolitical, people who were Democrats, people
    who were very conservative Republicans,ö said Hart. ôItÆs amazing how
    unifying it can be when the government starts pushing around our kids
    and impinging our freedoms.ö


    Matt Shapiro, who goes by the handle @PoliticalMath on X, describes
    himself as a right-of-center, ôinsatiably curiousö
    artificial-intelligence engineer. (William DeShazer for The Free Press)
    Matt Shapiro, who goes by the handle @PoliticalMath on X and lives
    outside Atlanta, signed up early in the pandemic to process data for The >>> AtlanticÆs Covid Tracking Project, the most complete data repository of
    CovidÆs impact in the U.S. Shapiro describes himself as a
    right-of-center, ôinsatiably curiousö artificial-intelligence engineer
    with a background in data management, and he was eager to put his
    data-mining skills to work for the common good. His work became a
    ôfull-time Covid hobby,ö he said. Shapiro joined other volunteersùôgood
    people trying to do an important thingöùto input data, analyze trends,
    and make data-based recommendations to help shape public health.

    But when the data told a story that contradicted the Centers for Disease >>> Control and PreventionÆs recommendations, for example, that Covid spread >>> as quickly in places with mask mandates as it did in places without
    them, his mostly left-leaning colleagues on the team went silent. ôAll
    my data friends that I had made doing all this work together were just
    like, æNot touching that,Æ?ö he recalled.

    Shapiro said he was mocked and isolated for questioning the predominant
    narrative that shuttering schools and businesses was lifesaving. More
    alarming to him were the massive implications such conformity had for
    society. ôThatÆs not the story weÆre telling ourselves about who we
    are,ö he told me.


    Tracking Covid data became Matt ShapiroÆs ôfull-time hobbyö during the
    pandemic, he said. (William DeShazer for The Free Press)
    It was different with Rational Ground/Team Reality. Members of the group >>> worked to provide data for Dr. Scott Atlas, a Covid adviser during the
    first Trump administration, who used their findings to refute CDC
    assessments at briefings. They advised governors and state-level Covid
    task forces, like that of Florida governor Ron DeSantis, and federal
    lawmakers such as Andrew Clyde of Georgia and Dan Crenshaw of Texas, all >>> Republicans. They held regional gatherings and relentlessly pursued
    grassroots campaigns to correct and call out errors wherever they found
    them.

    In such a diverse group, there was often sharp disagreement. ôWeÆve had
    people rage-quit,ö said Hart. ôLike in any human endeavor, we definitely >>> have our moments where people donÆt see things in the same way, but we
    had an open forum where we felt like we could hash it out and discuss
    things.ö


    Five years later, Team Reality is still advocating for institutional
    reforms based on what they saw during the pandemic. Under the leadership >>> of Bhattacharya, some of those changes are already happening. They want
    safeguards to protect the American people from overreaching government
    authority, and they think that constraining power and increasing
    transparency will ultimately help restore trust in public health.

    To achieve this, they want public-health policy discussions to be
    robust, with dissenting voices and a comprehensive cost-benefit analysis >>> of any public-health policy proposal before it becomes enforceable, even >>> in emergency situations.


    ôGovernment scientists do not have a monopoly on the truth,ö NIH
    director Jay Bhattacharya told The Free Press. (Andrew Harnik via Getty
    Images)
    ôPublic health policy decisions need a high quality of evidence
    demonstrating a good amount of benefit for a small amount of
    imposition,ö said Krohnert. ôWith Covid, we got the opposite:
    low-quality evidence demonstrating a small amount of benefit with
    massive impositions and untold costs.ö

    They also call for radical transparency. Because CDC guidance during
    Covid was often based on desired outcomes rather than actual data-driven >>> science, Shapiro said, data from any publicly funded study should be
    publicly available. ôIf you collect data with our taxpayer money, itÆs
    our data, and you should have to show it to us, rather than only showing >>> it if it achieves some end-policy goal,ö he said.

    Bhattacharya agrees. ôGovernment scientists do not have a monopoly on
    the truth, which is most likely to be found by a spirit of open-minded
    investigation, including by members of the public with access to the
    same data as public-health officials,ö he told me.

    Humility is an uncommon virtue for top government officials, but
    Bhattacharya knows better than most how the experts can get things
    wrong. ôOn topic after topic. . . Rational Ground analysts outperformed
    and corrected government agencies,ö he told me. ôRational Ground often
    relied on data that agencies like the CDC had made publicly available to >>> correct the CDC itself on its misinterpretations of its own data.ö


    Matt Shapiro said he was mocked and isolated for questioning the
    predominant narrative during Covid that shuttering schools and
    businesses was lifesaving. (William DeShazer for The Free Press)
    Opening the data to the public could help extremists misrepresent data
    and take it out of context, but the benefits outweigh the risks, said
    Krohnert. ôBlocking access to data is not going to prevent bad actors >>>from spreading misinformation. If anything, it adds fuel to the fire,
    because they can make up what they want and claim itÆs from some study
    the government ædoesnÆt want you to see,Æ?ö she said.

    Other hoped-for reforms go far beyond data reporting. ItÆs about what
    gets studied to begin with. During the pandemic, policy decisions with
    enormous effects, such as universal masking or standing six feet apart,
    we now know were based on flawed research, or often just guesswork. But
    according to Hart, the federal health agencies resisted funding studies
    that might refute CDC recommendations.

    Then there is the matter of institutional conflicts of interest. For
    example, Hart was dismayed to learn that the same people who sit on NIH
    grant committees to decide where funding goes also make policy
    recommendations.

    Such conflicts are a problem. After watching the CDC make so many
    errorsùand always in the same directionùKrohnert co-wrote a paper for
    the open-access Social Science Research Network, with Dr. Vinay Prasad,
    the new head of the Food and Drug AdministrationÆs Center for Biologics
    Evaluation and Research, calling for a firewall between the government
    entities that gather statistics and those setting policy as a shield
    against ôreal or perceived systematic bias.ö

    Krohnert also thinks there need to be better conversations about the
    nature and efficacy of CDC recommendations, which can be overly cautious >>> and reflect a low tolerance for risk, such as its recommendation not to
    eat raw cookie dough. As a result, the general public often ignores the
    CDCÆs advice.


    ôBlocking access to data is not going to prevent bad actors from
    spreading misinformation,ö Krohnert said. ôIf anything, it adds fuel to
    the fire.ö (Kendrick Brinson for The Free Press)
    Since their recommendations can take on the force of law, official
    recommendations by the CDC ought to include room for dissentùor at least >>> some wiggle room, depending on the circumstances, Krohnert said. For
    example, a recommendation to wear masks to prevent the spread of disease >>> might come with a qualification that it might not be appropriate in
    every situation, so that pediatric speech-therapy clinics and preschools >>> neednÆt worry about getting sued for failing to follow the agencyÆs advice. >>>
    And though they do want sweeping reform, Team Reality donÆt want to burn >>> the house down completely. Krohnert said she doesnÆt want to render the
    CDC useless. Just the opposite. She believes that Americans need
    entities they can trust, though government power usually should be
    limited to the ability to recommend and not compel.

    ôPublic-health enforcing isolation of very sick, very contagious people
    is not particularly controversial,ö she said. ôBut during Covid, we had
    public-health enforcing quarantine of healthy individuals.

    ôWe just seemed to skip over all the ethics of that.ö

    There is, understandably, some concern that, as the editors of The Free
    Press wrote yesterday in an editorial about public health, ôthis
    administrationÆs approach to reform often uses a hacksaw when a scalpel
    is called for.ö And yet, the people Trump has selected to lead the NIH,
    CDC, and FDA are highly credentialed, well-respected, and extremely
    competent, and they are advocating policies that are as careful as they
    are radical. ôThese arenÆt Robespierre lieutenants being elevated to
    judge, jury, and executioner when the revolution was won,ö said Hart.
    ôThese are the people who shouldÆve been running things in the first place.ö

    In the interim, we are 100% prepared/protected in the "full armor of
    GOD" (Ephesians 6:11) which we put on as soon as we use Apostle Paul's
    secret (Philippians 4:12). Though masking is less protective, it helps
    us avoid the appearance of doing the evil of spreading airborne
    pathogens while there are people getting sick because of not being
    100% protected. It is written that we're to "abstain from **all**
    appearance of doing evil" (1 Thessalonians 5:22 w/**emphasis**).

    Meanwhile, the only *perfect* (Matt 5:47-8 ) way to eradicate the
    COVID-19 virus, thereby saving lives, in the US & elsewhere is by
    rapidly (i.e. use the "Rapid COVID-19 Test" ) finding out at any given
    moment, including even while on-line, who among us are unwittingly
    contagious (i.e pre-symptomatic or asymptomatic) in order to
    "convince it forward" (John 15:12) for them to call their doctor and
    self-quarantine per their doctor in hopes of stopping this pandemic.
    Thus, we're hoping for the best while preparing for the worse-case
    scenario of the Alpha lineage mutations and others like the Omicron,
    Gamma, Beta, Epsilon, Iota, Lambda, Mu & Delta lineage mutations
    combining via slip-RNA-replication to form hybrids like "Deltamicron"
    that may render current COVID vaccines/monoclonals/medicines/pills no
    longer effective.

    Indeed, I am wonderfully hungry (
    https://groups.google.com/g/sci.med.cardiology/c/6ZoE95d-VKc/m/14vVZoyOBgAJ >> ) and hope you, Michael, also have a healthy appetite too.

    So how are you ?

    I am wonderfully hungry!

    While wonderfully hungry in the Holy Spirit, Who causes (Deuteronomy
    8:3) us to hunger, I note that you, Michael, are rapture ready (Luke
    17:37 means no COVID just as eagles circling over their food have no
    COVID) and pray (2 Chronicles 7:14) that our Everlasting (Isaiah 9:6)
    Father in Heaven continues to give us "much more" (Luke 11:13) Holy
    Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23) so that we'd have much more of His Help to
    always say/write that we're "wonderfully hungry" in **all** ways
    including especially caring to "convince it forward" (John 15:12) with
    all glory (Psalm112:1) to GOD (aka HaShem, Elohim, Abba, DEO), in
    the name (John 16:23) of LORD Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Amen.

    Laus DEO !

    Be hungrier, which really is wonderfully healthier especially for
    diabetics and other heart disease patients:

    http://bit.ly/HeartDocAndrew touts hunger (Luke 6:21a) with all glory
    ( http://bit.ly/Psalm112_1 ) to GOD, Who causes us to hunger
    (Deuteronomy 8:3) when He blesses us right now (Luke 6:21a) thereby
    removing the http://WDJW.great-site.net/VAT from around the heart

    ...because we mindfully choose to openly care with our heart,
