This was a great article when I read it originally, and the problem has only gotten worse with the addition of Vivek Murthy. Now it's government saying Rogan needs to go away.
To paraphrase Judge Judy, the government frequently pees on our leg and tells us it's raining. Therefore, we rely on the MSM to ferret out the truth. Unfortunately, we're now at the stage where the MSM is also peeing on our leg. What to do? Thank goodness for alternative media and independent journalists, but is that enough when many people only have time to grab headlines?
Graham Lineham is the writer and director of the greatest British comedy show since Monty Pythons Flying Circus. The IT Crowd is available on Netflix, endure the first season and enjoy a truly enriched life from binging out on the following four seasons. Your mouth might get tired from howling with laughter.
Graham Lineham is very clearly TEAM J.K. Rowling. There are dishonest actors in the transgender movement. I do honestly wish that there were not. I wish that every transgender person was honest and real. I do not want anything bad to happen to any transgender person, unless they hurt the vulnerable membership of the patriarchial society that we have to live in, women and children should be protected. Women should compete against women in sport. Female children should be able to have Spa day with their mothers or grandmothers without any male of the species being in this space.
So first it's Neil Young and now Joni Mitchell who wants to shoot themselves in the foot. I have boys in their twenties and if their vice is listening to Joe Rogan then I am a successful mom who taught their kids to listen and think for themselves. Neither of my children have any idea what any Kardashian is doing right now. They did go to the gym though and probably had a green shake for lunch. I'm all for Joe Rogan and I like to listen to his interviews. I do have this to say to Joni Mitchell and posted it RS FB My response to Joni pulling her songs rom Spotify. These people could snort a line off of anything. They grew out a fingernail. Now they act self righteous. My kids are at the gym. I'm just saying. Please try to imagine if there were a pandemic during the Haight Ashbury, Woodstock days or when stock brokers were snorting coke off of hookers in the eighties, nineties and early two thousands. I do not want this generation/s who have already done so much damage to now get to censor what my kids get to read, hear, learn... Enough is enough. My side is worth being heard. I don't care if they like the fact that I am good with Joe Rogan. People should stop apologizing for that especially while MSM is trying to sell yet another war. To Joni: "Oh FFS, your generation did more destruction to this planet than any other so pardon us if we just don't GAF what you think. You paved paradise and put up a parking lot and then you deregulated the banks and invited China into the WTO and kept us in never ending wars all while cutting taxes on the rich and saying it it would trickle down...The cocaine snorting generation of don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you got till it's gone but hey you got yours crowd as zero credibility. Haven't you done enough damage? You think you are in a position to scold? That's f'ng rich. Hook up with Neil I hear he's in a burned out basement somewhere. Take your music wherever you want, its your right but you're not smart to discard generations of people after your generation got it so wrong. YOUR generation is the reason it's all gone to shit and you are so woke that you can't see it. Stop blaming others for what you did. The sea is filled with plastic, the temp. is rising, 45,000. die in this country without healthcare and corporations run the place now, but do go on about Joe Rogan and the damage he causes. You and your geriatric generation we are all paying for should absolutely go on Joe Rogan's podcast and talk or STFU.. "
I'm a boomer that is decadent, fat and don't give a crap about the vaccines. Neil Young, never had his music tickle my ear to remember him, The only Mitchell I knew was Dennis Mitchell. I remember Deep Purple, The Beatles, The Who, and others but not these two. Barry Manillow, sang Copacabana and I hated it. Hearing it over and over again inspired me to make my own lyrics up singing poker with your banana. The hottest game north of Havana.
I think Neil Dung and Joni Michell wanted to get some woke followers to listen to their stuff. They weren't that great anyway, their loss is not big threat to NATO.
I am a Gen X mom and my husband is a boomer. I understand that the Boomers are the most destructive generation in U.S. history. These 70 and 80 year old centrists sat back while their generation got ever thing wrong and wake up as seniors and throw around their weight about what other generation might be getting wrong. They need to own theirs and get out of the way. They've done enough damage.
Someone should have the balls to fire him, or is he just making money for Rand Paul and all the others that he lies to.
He is ineffective in his job as a liaison from the NIH to the public. No one trusts the experiments he advocates. He is a detriment to the elitist cause and hated by populists. He is as old as the dinosaurs in congress and the senate. It's time to wipe our butts from this crap, get off the pot, and move on.
Never forget, any Federal crime you commit in service to starting WW3 while blaming Trump is your ticket to the deluxe apartment in the sky. Movin' on up!
"I was particularly struck by a recent Mashable article that talked about a supposed “backlash” against Substack’s “growing collection of anti-trans writers,” which seemed to refer to Jesse Singal (who is no such thing) and Graham Linehan and — that’s it."
Actually, that's not it. First, there's Abigail Shrier, author of "Irreversible Damage," an investigation of trans identification among teenage girls and its enabling by the medical, legal and educational establishments. She devotes most of her time on Substack these days covering the incursion of trans-identified males into women's prisons and women's sports. But she'll be the first to say that she isn't anti-trans. She's anti the ubiquitous campaign to indoctrinate children in transgender ideology and to throw biological women under the bus.
Then there's PITT, Parents With Inconvenient Truths About Trans, the most important site in the world for the dissemination of information about the brainwashing and medicalization of children under the unsuspecting noses of their parents. Read it and be furious.
-- There was a with a 44% reduction in COVID-19 infection rate for the cohorts using ivermectin prophylactically (p < 0.0001).
-- The regular use of ivermectin led to a 68% reduction in COVID-19 mortality (p < 0.0001). When adjusted for residual variables, reduction in mortality rate was 70% (p < 0.0001).
-- There was a 56% reduction in hospitalization rate among ivermectin users and non-users, respectively (p < 0.0001). After adjustment for residual variables, reduction in hospitalization rate was 67% (p < 0.0001).
Conclusion (from the study): In this large PSM study, regular use of ivermectin as a prophylactic agent was associated with significantly reduced COVID-19 infection, hospitalization, and mortality rates.
The fact that they're using Ron Johnson as some form of reference doesn't exactly lend credence to the situation. I'm firmly in the camp of those questioning the authorities on Covid, but Ron Johnson is in my neck of the woods, I'm familiar with his positions on a wide range of topics, and the guy is a cognitive hockey puck.
If folks want to believe what this loon has to say, that's fine, I don't care. But, if he's being used as some sort of confirmation of a study, then it's in everyone's best interest to deeply question the study.

COVID 19 is a new virus to man. Everyone looks at studies reporting to say something but due to different circumstances they say nothing. It will take time using meta-analysis and disinterested parties allowing research to come out.
The only thing they say for sure is Obese people are dead people. We shouldn't take care of anybody that does not take care of them selves. Well I am obese along with 60% of the other Americans.
HCQ probably works better than Ivermectin. HCQ has been used to treat Lupus and Rheumatoid Arthritis for years. HCQ is a Zn ionophore, changing cell PH, and thus inhibits glycosylation, RNA protease replication. HCQ also mitigates immune response it is used for LUPUS and Arthritis. Dexamethazone is used for this.
Ivermectin only acts as a protease inhibitor. In Vitro response was found to be positive in: "Several studies reported antiviral effects of ivermectin on RNA viruses such as Zika, dengue, yellow fever, West Nile, Hendra, Newcastle, Venezuelan equine encephalitis, chikungunya, Semliki Forest, Sindbis, Avian influenza A, Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome, Human immunodeficiency virus type 1, and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2."

Ivermectin was found to be a broad spectrum antiviral in invitro tests. Studies are advocated by parties that have an interest in what works. It will take time for truth to come out. It always does.

PS: At the same time, we must hate China because of CIA-invented "genocides" there -- fabrications relentlessly spread by lunatic "religion" Falun Gong's "newspaper" The Epoch Times... Dr. Malone actively promotes Falun Gong's Epoch Times -- go figure...
I agree with you (that Ivermectin probably works). The reality is that the studies proving it works will not be recognized by those making decisions on what to study and what to use. There is a great deal of politics nationally and internationally. You and I can't change it.
One thing I do know is there are bureaucrats with way too much power. Dr. F_uc_ is one of them. His competency as a spokesman is compromised. The ability to hand out money for research grants is also compromised. We need to change dinosaurs in government with those that work for the people, not corporate interests. The government lost sight of who they are working for.
The American people pay for the pharma research, through the NIH and BARDA. Once approved the drugs go to "Medicines Patent Pool (MPP), a United Nations-backed public health organization working to increase access to life-saving medicines for low- and middle-income countries." The American tax payer pays regular prices and other countries get to manufacture the drug and sell it for generic prices. Molnupiravir and Paxlovir are two examples of this.
1/3 of the cost of American labor is health insurance. Heath insurance makes American labor costs noncompetitive in the world. The world lives on the back of the American worker.
You seem to be wrapped up in numbers and statistics, trying to prove a point. Just say the system is corrupt and we don't want to take it.
Reading up and....Malone is clearly brilliant and still yet another self actualized tribune in the demoralizing technocracy that has enlisted everyone as unpaid laborers for social-media platforms that profit from online confused animosity.
No one is willing to debate these "self actualized" people. This "gang" includes Steve Kirsch. Steve has a standing offer of $1 million to anyone that debates any of these heroes in front of a video recording device.
I'll be waiting with the crickets to hear you make a substantive post with facts and data to backup your position . . . . whatever position that might be, at whatever time of day you post it.
Everywhere a puzzling and completely irrational DNC/media/security state propaganda.
BUT -- there is a VERY rational reason for that.
We are dealing with BIG Lie(s)
ANY, even rudimentary, discussion would unravel the lie(s) -- total censorship and prompt defamations are the ONLY choice for the immensely corrupt Deep State cabal.
PS: A sad thing is that GOP lunatics are equally repulsive and dangerous -- happily grunting together while feeding at same donor troughs.
Rogan is a problem in that he is not competent to appropriately question his denier guests, such as Malone and McCollough. His podcasts provide more misinformation and lies than valid information. Most of his listeners are just as clueless as he is and so have no fundamental understanding from which to draw skepticism about what they hear on his show. This is a problem, maybe it always has been, but it seems like conspiracy theories take up more oxygen than they did previously and so deniers have more control than they had in the past, they were more fringe and now are more mainstream.
One problem is that most people have chosen to not educate themselves by reading textbooks. The fact is that anyone can actually learn enough to understand a denier from someone with a legitimate argument, but most people are just too fucking lazy and they believe the lie that there are two sides to an argument when there is but one objective reality and science is a process to find it.
Well, please explain this contradiction to your claim that natural immunity is more effective than vaccine induced immunity or that authorities have changed their tune. That both assertions are false is clearly evident from this study, cited on the CDC in September. https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2021/s0806-vaccination-protection.html
On a recent youtube posting by Dr. John Campbell(not a medical doctor, as he makes clear), a study of Calif. and NY cases showed natural immunity to be a bit more effective against hospitalization than being vaccinated, and that those who had both were only slightly more protected than those with natural immunity only. This study, as I recall was from the CDC, and is very recent. Naturally, the unvaccinated were the leading group in being hospitalized, by a wide margin.
Dr. Campbell has been double vaxxed and boosted and appears to be in his 70's, and simply presents info as he finds it, with no bias. Worth watching. He does not politicize.
For myself. I was infected with the original strain in May 2020, was more than moderately ill, though never hospitalized, and took 16 days to recover, never coming close to feeling my life was in danger, but was certainly more ill than any cold or flu had ever made me. I was 73 when infected, but unlike so many, I had and have no comorbidities, with a BMI of 23.
I was on the fence about getting the vaccine, but did it for several reasons, one of those being my wife wanted it and my being in a cohort that would get the shot before her, decided to be the guinea pig for her. I have no plans for a booster unless a new variant comes along that is more pathogenic than the one I survived.
This is now my position on the pandemic and vaccines:
1.. Vaccines do protect all age groups against severe illness and death to a large extent, but not totally.
2. Vaccinated people can and do spread the virus, but for slightly shorter time than the unvaccinated, as they shed the virus quicker.
3. Young and healthy people have little but something to gain from being vaccinated, assuming good health.
4. This pandemic highlighted just how unhealthy Americans have become. We had and have large numbers of remarkably obese and unhealthy people who were easy prey for this virus to finish them off, some losing months and others a few years from their lives. The average BMI of Americans has increased over 4.5 points from 1980 to today.
5. The young and even older people in good health have some, but little chance of dying from this pandemic, and less now that the virus has mutated into one less pathogenic.
6. This virus has highlighted just how warped and distorted our political elites are. At a time when over 800,000 Americans have died from this virus, they still cannot see their way to making health care(not insurance) a right, but continue to lavish vast and ever increasing sums on their beloved Pentagon.
7. If someone put a gun to my head and made me choose between this virus coming about naturally or from a lab in Wuhan, I'd pick the lab, without doubt.
8. Mandates are wrong, both morally and practically. Getting vaccinated is a personal matter because being vaccinated is almost solely a matter of self protection, as the vaccinated can still infect others. People would be better protected individually if vaccinated, but that is their choice, not anyone else's.
This was a great article when I read it originally, and the problem has only gotten worse with the addition of Vivek Murthy. Now it's government saying Rogan needs to go away.
https://simulationcommander.substack.com/p/censors-gonna-censor
Murthy's rant did not include any rebuttal of Rogan's comments. The media outlets don't want reasoned argument. They just want the rant.
Is the government more influential than Neil Young? Or will the almighty dollar defeat tyranny?

Well, please explain this contradiction to your claim that natural immunity is more effective than vaccine induced immunity or that authorities have changed their tune. That both assertions are false is clearly evident from this study, cited on the CDC in September. https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2021/s0806-vaccination-protection.html
On a recent youtube posting by Dr. John Campbell(not a medical doctor, as he makes clear), a study of Calif. and NY cases showed natural immunity to be a bit more effective against hospitalization than being vaccinated, and that those who had both were only slightly more protected than those with natural immunity only. This study, as I recall was from the CDC, and is very recent. Naturally, the unvaccinated were the leading group in being hospitalized, by a wide margin.
Dr. Campbell has been double vaxxed and boosted and appears to be in his 70's, and simply presents info as he finds it, with no bias. Worth watching. He does not politicize.
For myself. I was infected with the original strain in May 2020, was more than moderately ill, though never hospitalized, and took 16 days to recover, never coming close to feeling my life was in danger, but was certainly more ill than any cold or flu had ever made me. I was 73 when infected, but unlike so many, I had and have no comorbidities, with a BMI of 23.
I was on the fence about getting the vaccine, but did it for several reasons, one of those being my wife wanted it and my being in a cohort that would get the shot before her, decided to be the guinea pig for her. I have no plans for a booster unless a new variant comes along that is more pathogenic than the one I survived.
This is now my position on the pandemic and vaccines:
1.. Vaccines do protect all age groups against severe illness and death to a large extent, but not totally.
2. Vaccinated people can and do spread the virus, but for slightly shorter time than the unvaccinated, as they shed the virus quicker.
3. Young and healthy people have little but something to gain from being vaccinated, assuming good health.
4. This pandemic highlighted just how unhealthy Americans have become. We had and have large numbers of remarkably obese and unhealthy people who were easy prey for this virus to finish them off, some losing months and others a few years from their lives. The average BMI of Americans has increased over 4.5 points from 1980 to today.
5. The young and even older people in good health have some, but little chance of dying from this pandemic, and less now that the virus has mutated into one less pathogenic.
6. This virus has highlighted just how warped and distorted our political elites are. At a time when over 800,000 Americans have died from this virus, they still cannot see their way to making health care(not insurance) a right, but continue to lavish vast and ever increasing sums on their beloved Pentagon.
7. If someone put a gun to my head and made me choose between this virus coming about naturally or from a lab in Wuhan, I'd pick the lab, without doubt.
8. Mandates are wrong, both morally and practically. Getting vaccinated is a personal matter because being vaccinated is almost solely a matter of self protection, as the vaccinated can still infect others. People would be better protected individually if vaccinated, but that is their choice, not anyone else's.
9. Both parties suck, but what else is new?
