Joe Biden declared the pandemic over a few days ago, and that made some people very unhappy.
I look at it this way: without a doubt we are at the stage now where what matters most is making sure we get the story of what happened right, so future generations are not misled.
Mark Woolhouse, one of Scotland's top infectious disease epidemiologists, just released The Year the World Went Mad: A Scientific Memoir. It's certainly a step in the right direction.
I thought I'd share bits and pieces with you (I've preserved the UK spelling):
"My main aim in writing this book is that lockdown scepticism will become the mainstream view."
"There is comfort in following the crowd even while it is stampeding in the wrong direction. We wouldn't let go of lockdown even after the evidence of the harm it was causing became so compelling that the WHO itself came to reject it."
"The advisory system was dominated by clinicians and public health specialists who weren't looking at the bigger picture, such as economists, ethicists...which is why they kept recommending lockdown.... The response was being driven too much by epidemiology, and I'm an epidemiologist."
"Richard Horton -- editor of the Lancet -- and others continued to rail against their straw man version of a herd immunity strategy...the debate descended into farce...like the tide, herd immunity happens whether you believe in it or not."
"Lockdown was never going to solve the problem, it just deferred it to another day, and it did so at great cost...everyone needs to understand what such a harmful intervention can and cannot achieve before we introduce it. They didn't."
"Lockdown was conceived by the WHO and China as a means of eradicating the virus once and for all from the face of the earth. With hindsight, this plan was doomed to fail from the outset."
"During the pandemic, several politicians adopted the position that 'no death from covid is acceptable'.... This made it impossible to tackle the virus in a rational manner.... We do not treat any other public health issue this way."
"Will the cure turn out to be worse than the disease?... As early as April 2020, ONS used quality adjusted life years (QALY) lost to weigh harms and benefits.... The best estimate was three times more harm...we got the balance wrong."
"As far back as March 2020 there was evidence from China that outdoor transmission was extremely rare.... To my knowledge, no outbreaks have been linked to a beach anywhere in the world, ever."
"The average age of death in the UK is 78 years old.... The average age of death from covid-19 up to October 2020 was 80 years.... I'd say that was a reasonable definition of a disease of old age."
"Even more important: never rely on a single model.... Many people believed [the UK fall 2020 lockdown] occurred on the basis of a 'dodgy dossier' -- a term used in the build up to the Iraq War in 2003."
"I was not prepared for the hate mail either, as vicious as any I received throughout the pandemic.... People who spent the past year indoors did not want to be told that it had been safe to go out all along.... Decision-makers had lost all sense of proportion."
An interesting book, as you can see.
And it reminds us of all the looniness from "public health" officials and even from your local doctor, who more often than not endorsed these measures. Your local doctor to this day thinks he's saving lives by separating the "clean" pens from the used pens.
Who can blame all those people who watched this spectacle and reached the obvious conclusion that if the medical establishment could take such consistently irrational and destructive decisions, that maybe there's something rotten at the heart of it?
At the very least, there are today a lot more people in favor of medical freedom for themselves than there were three years ago.
Some of them aren't really sure what to do next, or whether or how they should speak up without alienating people close to them.
I have a podcast guest and listener named Susan May who has built a community of people who are new to medical freedom and who help each other, and it seemed like a natural thing to let my readers know about.
She's running a free challenge to help get you where you want to be. Enjoy:

The Cubic lattice appears to be the universal Paternal constant of mathematical construction of Maternal mass,
matter and ultimately, form.
"The Cube of Space is an occult concept that was invented by the prominent occultist Paul
Foster Case. The Cube of Space associates the three axes of the cube, the center point of the
cube, the six sides of the cube, and the twelve edges of the cube, with the 22 letters of the
hebrew alphabet. The Cube of Space is based upon two verses in the proto-kabbala text called the Sepher Yetzirah.

Today, we're diving deep into the findings of the Select Committee on the Coronavirus Pandemic report, a moderately comprehensive document that sheds light on the origins, missteps, and long-term implications of the pandemic response. While we find much to discuss—and critique—within its pages, this report is another crucial entry into the growing library of work highlighting the urgent need for accountability and reform.
Together, we'll explore its insights and use them to advocate for a future where overreach, mismanagement, and infringements on our fundamental rights are not tolerated. This conversation is vital to ensuring that the lessons of the past guide us toward a more just and resilient tomorrow.

No matter how bad you think Covid policies were, they were intended to be worse.
Consider the vaccine passports alone. Six cities were locked down to include only the vaccinated in public indoor places. They were New York City, Boston, Chicago, New Orleans, Washington, D.C., and Seattle. The plan was to enforce this with a vaccine passport. It broke. Once the news leaked that the shot didn’t stop infection or transmission, the planners lost public support and the scheme collapsed.
It was undoubtedly planned to be permanent and nationwide if not worldwide. Instead, the scheme had to be dialed back.
Features of the CDC’s edicts did incredible damage. It imposed the rent moratorium. It decreed the ridiculous “six feet of distance” and mask mandates. It forced Plexiglas as the interface for commercial transactions. It implied that mail-in balloting must be the norm, which probably flipped the election. It delayed the reopening as long as possible. It was sadistic.
Even with all that, worse was planned. On July 26, 2020, with the ...
Congressmen Scalise and Comer, Members of the Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis, Ladies and Gentlemen.
My name is Steven Quay and I am honored to speak at this forum. I am a physician-scientist with over 360 publications on a wide range of topics in science and medicine. I have 87 issued patents in 22 different fields of medicine, including the chemistry of RNA drugs like the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines. I have invented seven FDA-approved medicines that have been used by millions of people worldwide.

I appreciate the non-partisan approach the Subcommittee is taking today. Clearly, science in the last few years, but especially on topics related to the COVID pandemic, has been coopted by geopolitics. Thus, I am here, not as a mouthpiece for any political party, but as an American scientist.
I dedicate my testimony today to the more ...
