What Public Health Did that was not Forgivable
Dr. Martin Kulldorff, who was fired by Harvard for telling the truth (and who has still not been rehired):
More on Kulldorff's firing by Harvard. Excerpt:
On March 10, 2020, before any government prompting, Harvard declared that it would “suspend in-person classes and shift to online learning.” Across the country, universities, schools, and state governments followed Harvard’s lead.Yet it was clear, from early 2020, that the virus would eventually spread across the globe, and that it would be futile to try to suppress it with lockdowns. It was also clear that lockdowns would inflict enormous collateral damage, not only on education but also on public health, including treatment for cancer, cardiovascular disease, and mental health. We will be dealing with the harm done for decades. Our children, the elderly, the middle class, the working class, and the poor around the world—all will suffer.
Schools closed in many other countries, too, but under heavy international criticism, Sweden kept its schools and daycares open for its 1.8 million children, ages one to 15. Why? While anyone can get infected, we have known since early 2020 that more than a thousandfold difference in Covid mortality risk holds between the young and the old. Children faced minuscule risk from Covid, and interrupting their education would disadvantage them for life, especially those whose families could not afford private schools, pod schools, or tutors, or to homeschool . . .
Every honest person knows that new drugs and vaccines come with potential risks that are unknown when approved. This was a risk worth taking for older people at high risk of Covid mortality—but not for children, who have a minuscule risk for Covid mortality, nor for those who already had infection-acquired immunity. To a question about this on Twitter in 2021, I responded:
Thinking that everyone must be vaccinated is as scientifically flawed as thinking that nobody should. COVID vaccines are important for older high-risk people and their care-takers. Those with prior natural infection do not need it. Nor children.If Harvard and its hospitals want to be credible scientific institutions, they should rehire those of us they fired ...
Most Harvard faculty diligently pursue truth in a wide variety of fields, but Veritas has not been the guiding principle of Harvard leaders. Nor have academic freedom, intellectual curiosity, independence from external forces, or concern for ordinary people guided their decisions.
Harvard and the wider scientific community have much work to do to deserve and regain public trust.
The U.S. War Machine is Itching to Go to War Against Iran
Jimmy Dore's Tweet shows that the U.S. Warmongers plan to go to war against Iran and they also plan to lie about why it happened:
This will never be shown on Corporate news channels.Here is how the U.S. War Machine is going to start a war with Iran.
Patrick Clawson, a U.S. foreign policy insider, just blurts it out
I frankly think that crisis initiation is really tough, and it’s very hard for me to see how the United States President can GET US TO WAR WITH IRAN. Which leads me to conclude that if, in fact, compromise is not coming, that the traditional way of America gets to war is what would be best for U.S. interests”He’s telling us that the U.S. war machine wants a war with Iran, they have been planning it for decades, & the way they start it is by instigating a crisis they can use as the pretext to go to war.
This video should be taught in classrooms, but will never be shown on corporate news channels because they work for the war machine & this would make their job of lying us into war a lot harder.
About Human Sheep
This is a clever redo of the social psych experiments of Solomon Asch. We should teach this to every student in as early as grade school. Most of us are wired to be compliant and willfully-ignorant sheep.
This is how herd mentality works!There’s a fascinating experiment where an unsuspecting person steps into an elevator. Everyone else inside—actors in on the trick—looks away from the door, facing a mirror instead. It only takes a few floors before the lone individual abandons common sense and follows the crowd, turning toward the wrong direction.
This is the essence of herd mentality: people parroting what they think is correct simply because everyone else does it. Social pressure drowns out critical thinking. This behavior is rampant—on X, in politics, and in society at large.
But true integrity means resisting this pull. It means thinking critically and refusing to be manipulated by larger players with agendas. During COVID, I didn’t cave to the narrative. I stood firm. And I’ll do the same when it comes to the climate scam, electric cars, media-driven conflicts like the Russia-Ukraine war, and even cultural taboos like speaking out against a minority that’s literally owning the majority of American congressmen.
As a scientist, I rely on data, logic, and evidence—not slogans or trends. That’s why I’m hard to manipulate. It’s not about following the crowd; it’s about standing for the truth, no matter how unpopular it may seem.
