LA Times Clings to the Progressive Narrative re FIRE

LA Times today: "FIRE, a group that claims to advocate for free speech on college campuses — except when the speakers don’t share its political views." It would have taken literally two minutes for the LA Times to review FIRE's slate of litigation to see that this claim is untrue.

For further, see the Newsdesk of the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE).

About Intellectual Humility

Tribal affiliation is the biggest threat to intellectual humility. It is insidious--we join tribes emotionally and organically--there is not official signup form, so we don't even know that we joined. Once we join, the confirmation bias takes over, making us hubristic and even willing to fight for things we didn't choose to believe.

The solution is to disengage, to step out of one's tribe. That is extremely difficult once we get used to the comfy confines, the smiles and encouragement of our comrades, the non-stop warmth of that feeling that of belonging, the feeling that one is always at home. Once we are comfy, we turn off any thoughts that maybe we don't belong. We are completely credulous regarding tribal dogma. Stockholm Syndrome takes over. We become our own prisoners, setting up electrified fences to cordon off any improper or impure thoughts. The only hope for most people is that external tragedy resulting from the dogma comes crashing in, resulting in depression, nihilism and scales falling from our eyes. This might offer us a more-or-less blank slate on which to rebuild, a chance to build one's own belief system based on intellectual humility: curiosity, skepticism and evidence. More likely, it merely sends one on a shopping trip to join the next most attractive tribe.

I Regret Getting the COVID Vaccines. Here’s Why.

Independent media has been giving voice to many highly credentialed doctors, including Peter McCullough, who warn that the vaccines are dangerous and ineffective. Simultaneously, corporate media refuses to discuss these serious claims. Their coordinated silence reinforces my deep regret of ever having agreed to take 3 COVID jabs.

More reasons:

Prof. Fukushima at Press Conference. (No.1) "This is not drug harm. To be clear, the vaccine is not a drug, but a bioweapon with all kinds of toxicity. So many people have died because of distribution of the bioweapon. It's a massacre. It's a Holocaust."

I am the President of the Study Group on Vaccine Problems (The official Name of the Study Group is Japanese Society for Vaccine-related Complication (JSVRC)).

As a doctor and as a scientist, I am gravely aware that we are facing a tremendous crisis right now. I could say that this crisis has just begun. This is a crisis of democracy.The people's right to access information is completely undermined. The government adopts a shameless attitude to keep totally disregarding the basic human rights such as the right to pursue happiness, and the right to live that are protected under the Japanese Constitution.

This is absolutely unacceptable!

Honest scholars have been documented numerous cases of vaccine-related harms and injuries etc., at their academic conferences.

The number of reported vaccine harms is 'many hundreds’.

This is not just an unusual situation. Nothing like this has ever happened before.

What vaccines are causing are not drug-related harms. Totally incomplete substance called a nucleic acid medicine, which is in fact not even a medicine, was distributed to the public.

Vaccinated Children versus Unvaccinated Children

What are people like me supposed to think when confronted with startling medical claims like this? Claims of potential misconduct by vaccine manufacturers and the CDC, as well as indications of censorship?

“The CDC has never looked at long-term health outcomes of vaccinated versus unvaccinated children.”

So, Professor Brian Hooker, Ph.D., took it upon himself to aggregate and conduct such studies. This is what he found . . .
