Behold the big hero of the medical freedom movement: Still pretending there was a virus. Still pretending "vaccines" inoculate against disease. Still spinning hits exclusively from the kakistocracy's allowed playlist.

I'm so sick of this shit. I'm sick of being addressed like I'm a fucking moron by people who haven't even met me yet. I'm sick of all the people who hear blatant propaganda and don't resent being lied to 24/7. I don't even care whether viruses really exist or not: If total strangers are trying *this hard* and *this relentlessly* to make you do something; if they're organizing their entire lives and the entire apparatus of government around it, then the *only* possible answer to such people is, "Fuck you with a shaped charge."

P.S. If you need just a single proof that Battacharya's either ignorant or an assploding liar, that cynical cashing-in on people's ignorance about nuclear power is it. Based on the rest of that interview, I'm going with big fat liar. An honest man would not try to cash in on people's ignorance and biases. He'd appeal to their knowledge. "GoF is as dangerous as nuclear reactors in back yards!" Well, Jay, GoF is Hollywood bullshit, nuclear's both green and safe, and small modular reactors are a thing. Just four days ago this article https://interestingengineering.com/energy/china-mini-nuclear-reactor-power-homes reported that China's in the final installation phase of an SMR that will power over half a million homes. Maybe Jay thinks that all those electricity-slurping AI servers his leash-holders are building are going to be coal-powered.

His comparison is false equivalance, at best

There’s nothing surprising here. Both he and Marty Makary are just what they seem to be to those who actually pay attention—minor actors reciting a few pre-scripted lines to create the impression that things are changing when in fact it’s status quo

Is it me, or does 53 not count as being an old-man candidate for a COVID shot?

(No one needed it but you get my point....)

FYI: Dr. B is (or at least was in late 2021) in favor of general policy of vaccine mandating. (Does that include flu shots?) He stated the following during an on-stage conversation before event attendees on Nov. 15, 2021.

NOTES: This transcription (and writeup) was written by a publication's editor, not by me. However, I have made a few punctuation and sentence-capitalization changes for readability. Also, if the reader finds some of what Dr. B says (in the middle of his statement) to be incoherent, don't blame me. I've not listened to the audio, so am relying on the editor's rendition of Dr. B's words (and each reader is left to "translate" as best he/she can).

---------------

JAY BHATTACHARYA:

I think a mandate is justified when you have a vaccine that stops transmission…. [So] if I [were to] get vaccinated with a vaccine that stops transmission, I not only benefit myself but [also] you all. I’m…posing less of a threat to you all…there’s a public benefit…. [O]n the other hand, if you have a vaccine that mainly provides a private benefit but not a public benefit, it’s a very different situation. When there’s a public benefit, you have…a positive externality…as a result…there’s actually going to be less demand than is socially optimal for the vaccine…. There you might want a mandate…because people aren’t going to want [the vaccine] as much as they ought to, and they’re not taking into account how much they’re protecting others. You may want to induce them to [take it]…. This is a vaccine* where there is much less of a public benefit and much more of a private benefit. So the economic justification we would normally use doesn’t apply with the same amount of force as it normally would for vaccines…. The vaccine mandates by themselves on the other hand have imposed enormous harm*…. There is absolutely overwhelming evidence that if you had COVID and recovered, that you are actually very well-protected from…getting COVID again.”

P.S.

Ms. Jessica, I want to let you (and anyone else who is interested) know that Xwitter (aka "X" and "the system" herein) killed my account there. I am referring to it as a murder. As you might imagine, I am devastated.

When I went to log in as usual on Monday morning (6-2-25), the system told me: "Sorry, we could not find your account." I won't recount it all, but of course I did everything that I possibly could figure out to do to comprehend, fix, overcome, contact, etc, the system. My efforts include my certainty that the email I used for my X account is functioning/active and seemingly not compromised.

My saga culminated in a 2nd email from X (on 6-3-25) telling me:

---------------

We’re writing to let you know that we’re unable to verify you as the account owner. We know this is disappointing to hear, but we can’t assist you further with accessing your account.

If you know which email address or phone number is associated with the account, and you no longer have access to that email or connected phone number, please contact your service provider for assistance.

For privacy reasons, we can’t provide any information about this account’s registered email address or phone number.

We understand it’s frustrating to get locked out of an account, but we have these policies to protect accounts and private data. We appreciate your understanding.

You’re more than welcome to create a new account to get back onto X.

Please do not respond to this email as replies to this account are not monitored.

---------------

I have no idea what happened to cause my log-in email address to no longer be recognized by the system. Everything was 100% normal the day before (6-1-25), including me receiving my usual email from X telling me there was a new log-in to my account (that log-in was, as usual, ME). I did nothing different/new between June 1 and June 2 to my X account. I received no other email communication from X except after I filed my Support/Help report.

Did the system have a catastrophic/random error resulting in it disappearing/losing my registered log-in (my email address)? Was my account somehow "hacked"? If "hacked," I can't fathom how. No one knew my log-in email address or my password except me (and the system). I considered the email and password very secure (and to reiterate, the email account appears to still be working normally since X murdered my account). If "hacked," the excruciatingly painful irony is that the X system claims, in its email to me shown above, that X is all about "privacy" and "protection."

As I said, this has been a devastating 2+ days for me. I'm still in shock. If there's a next move, I have no idea what it could be. I assume my X account is over, dead, murdered.

I feel like it's appropriate/warranted to let you, Ms. Jessica, know what has happened, especially since you Follow (Followed😭) me on Xwitter. I decided to tell you here because I am unable to figure out a better way to alert you.

I do not expect to start a brand-new X account. Presently, I also don't have the "appetite" to now become a Substack regular.

If I write or explain anything more here, this comment will turn into a meandering therapy & venting session. I'll just leave it with this: I have no idea why/how this happened to my X account. I am in shock, wounded, and this "murder" has been life changing for me. I will miss you (and many others) on X – as well as being informed and on top of things, which is why I signed up for X in the first place (several months after Musk closed Xwitter to nonregistered users in June 2023). I will also miss contributing my opinions/insights and knowledge. God only knows what will happen to my X account over time.

Sincerely, Jenn

P.S.S.

In case others haven't seen it*, here is another recent (5-28-25) interview with Dr. B:

https://www.limpertinentmedia.com/post/who-manipulated-science-to-promote-its-propaganda-during-the-pandemic

It echoes many of his thoughts expressed in the Peter Robinson interview.

Of note, Dr. B discusses "next pandemic" (and next-pandemic plans):

---------------

JAY BHATTACHARYA: I do think that a discussion about our plans for the next pandemic needs to happen as soon as we can, because we don't want to repeat the mistakes we made on the last one. In particular, the interests of the world's poor, of children, of the working class need to be represented in the pandemic plans. The lockdowns were a violation of the interests of all of those vulnerable people, of children, of working-class people, of the world's poor.

And any pandemic plan that doesn't consider the plight of the living circumstances and the interest of the vulnerable is bound to fail, both from a policy point of view and also from an ethical point of view.

---------------

In the next segment, he refers to the "reigning orthodoxy" of academia and "big 'L' liberal" and how it could not be questioned during "the pandemic."

I continue to be astonished that Dr. B does not question virtually all reigning orthodoxies pertaining to the pandemics racket. I don't comprehend, for example, why he has always accepted the orthodoxy that the covid event was an emergency, as well as a health emergency that warranted a vaccine response. I would love to ask him about that. Even if he thinks "covid" was a legit pandemic, why does he think it merited an extraordinary *emergency* response after the initial uncertainty? ["initial uncertainty" per all non-off-limits/out-of-bounds narratives.] Why the "focused protection" for one particular unremarkable disease? [alleged disease.] Why is Bhattacharya never skeptical about CORE "official narrative" claims? It is fair/reasonable to question his education/credentials, intellect, motives/incentives, and/or judgment.

*I apologize that, due to my murdered X account, I am not up-to-date so cannot check on who knows what (such as this L'Impertinent Media interview).
