Have you seen Couey's interview with Peter McCullough? The latter seems to firmly believe in the lab-leak-and-ensuing-variants story - I wonder how JJ will process that...
Hi Dr. Faire, Thank you for considering my observations. I greatly admire Dr. McCollough but I do not share his frequent accusations of China. And unfortunately, I have had to stop listening to Dr. Couey since he started attacking other Covid researchers and commentators. I love them all, and I see how our human fragility impedes our perception of truth. We are evolving. Best wishes to you!
JJ seems to have mellowed a little, not so many attack critiques lately. I guess it is galling to discover that leading heterodoxers may have been leading us away by leaving out. I am more interested these days in the epistemology involved: whom do we trust and how do we sort fact from fiction in order to gravitate toward different niches within the Covid landscape...this seems to offer a potentially fruitful basis for conversations across the dividing chasms. Since I came from the Left/Green side of the old culture war, it is productive to map my journey through the pandemonium and the landmark experiences that made me lose trust in my former credible sources.
I have sent the Couey first dialogue with Paul Alexander (which is one of his best expositions of the distribution hypothesis still findable) to one of my old (1980's) fellow-PhD students who is still a virologist, asking him for a critique. However, I won't hold my breath, as this person already thought I was going down "rabbitholes" when I sent him, at various times, stuff about ivermectin, Vera Sharav's documentary, and the Australian doctors (AMPS) speaking out. I wonder whether I will get a "debunk" or just be ignored...
You know, I have to remind myself that humans seldom "see" a new idea without many repetitions. I don't like it but I am having to try to get used to lack of response. Cultivates character, I suppose. But some things continue to resonate with me over time, such as these observations of Couey's, and I at least hypothesize that they carry some semblance of truth. This actually strengthens my inner dialog with my core self and it is making me more aware, generally, of myself and of the outer world. These things are hard to put into words. I guess I am really saying, don't give up! Believe our evidence which being open to assimilate new evidence after carefully evaluating it. Anyway, I appreciate your observations and your support. I do hope you get this, Rosemary. I am new at this and I don't know how to check back to comments here. Best to you! Haru
Since I haven't heard a peep, I've concluded that I was ignored. Thanks for the encouragement - through "synchronicities" I am being presented with more people from the Narrative-believer camp, and it challenges me to go deeper into the data and the multiple points at which the Narrative is crumbling. Last night a friend of a friend introduced me to this book, which is a combination of Narrative and conspiracy in one, but the conspiracy is a surprise: apparently we "antivaxxers" are being paid by Koch! It is a book by Jonathon Howard, but not wanting to pay good money for such a book, I've found an interview he did with the obsessive anti-DrJC "debunker": https://odysee.com/@backtothescience:6/contrarian-doctors-putting-fame-above:a
Sorry about slowness! The interview you sent looks great-- heard the first few minutes and will listen to it all asap.
Sharing some thoughts which may or may not interest you. I am rethinking my SUBSTACK site and plan to use it a great deal more. For the past few years I have been a co-admin on a Facebook site where I have been posting news articles and relevant scientific papers (going through them an hopefully making them more understandable in layman's terms) . This has been useful, I think, as quite a number of people in our local small community communicate town news and happenings on FB. But that format is increasingly restrictive and dangerous. I am thinking of transitioning a lot of posting in the future over to the SUBSTACK site where I will have a lot more freedom to choose articles/videos and to comment on them. Hope that will start happening son. Hope you will stay tuned. Rosemary, you encourage me, too. Blessings!
Oh. I got almost 6 min into the video. Terrible, absolutely terrible. Awful.
I think the guy was a psychiatrist? Maybe he knows nothing about ventilators, misuse of which was one big reason why so many people died in NY in 2020. He also knows nothing about the immune system. That was as far as I got before shutting it off the video. The thing is, this thing is a psyop, brilliantly designed. He is a part of it. He appears innocent and naive. Maybe he is being used. Bernays-- did I spell that right?
I don't waste any energy anymore trying to convince people. I just love them-- and in my small community, I mean it, I really do love these Democrats who do so many good things but who are hypnotized. There have been at least 12 deaths and injuries in our community among people who I know, in the past year or so, which I am almost sure came from the vaxx. Maybe some people are getting an inkling of the cause for this astonishing and unprecedented die-off here, maybe not. But I do not bring it up. If I do I think they will just harden their argument. They have to figure it our for themselves. If they ever do come to me with lingering doubts I will carefully explain to them what I think has been happening. Throughout this whole thing, even while posting and explaining truthful scientific papers on Facebook and getting slammed for it on many sides, I have really tried to maintain a polite, kind, calm, nonthreatening demeanor. (Did not always succeed.) I think this helps people heal in that they cannot use me as an outlet for their confusion but are confronted rather coolly with the facts.
You know, I think these are good kernal thoughts for a future post. Let's see!
