Good field reconnaissance, Rice. It’s a miserable business, dissecting the officially-sanctioned tripe spewed by these high-paid public health stenographers. Someone has to wade into the filth and catalog the lies. Keep filing your reports from the front.

These "rejoinder" pieces are probably my favorite genre of writing. The challenge is there are too many ridiculous statements to skewer all of them.

Bill - do you ever get replies to your comments?

I just got yours. The comments seem to come from just a small sub-set of my subscribers. With this piece, I got a quick flood of "likes" and comments ... and readers liking others' comments ... and then this quick flurry of positive feedback, suddenly, ... ended. Which is ... odd.

My reader comments and "likes" metrics have fallen off a cliff in recent months, which makes me wonder if I've lost my Mojo as a Substack writer.

However, my buddy Mark Oshinskie told me my writing is "as good as ever."

I keep thinking, "something has changed on Substack." One thing that has changed is all the liberal or Statists or Globalist wacko writers are blowing up and adding thousands of new subscribers every day or week.

... While I'm losing subscribers. I've gotten four "unsubscribe" notices in 50 minutes since I posted this dispatch. Update: I've gotten 10 "unsubscribe/disabled email" messaages since I posted this column.

UPDATE: In her next post (from today), YLE, via one of her partners/co-authors, is again pounding home her central message that the public should only trust the authorized experts (like herself):

A few excerpts in a column intended to heap scorn on people who try to do their own research … which a headline kicker labels “Health (Mis)Communication.”

***

Like “misinformation” and “disinformation,” the phrase “doing your own research” has become deeply polarizing.

To some, it’s a call to think critically about health information and do their due diligence before making health decisions. To others—especially in science and medicine—it represents the mistaken belief that a Google or AI chatbot search can substitute for years of scientific and medical training.

Adding to the polarization, some prominent voices use this phrase to undermine trust in clinicians, urging people to reject medical advice in favor of their own research. In response, some in science and medicine view the desire to do your own research as an outright rejection of expertise, and respond with ridicule.

But this dysfunctional dynamic misses the bigger picture of what’s happening. For many, this phrase represents a sincere effort to find answers they’re struggling to get elsewhere. And when that genuine search for information is met with an expert’s scorn, it can push people away from trustworthy sources.

YLE is really saying, "trust us here - the 12th iteration of the boosters/vaccines WILL work. "

Sunscreen is as safe and effective as "vaccines."

In other words, it kills. Not only are the chemicals in it not good for the skin, and absorbed into our bodies through our skin, as nicotine is through patches. But sunscreen actually deprives our immune system of the healing and restorative properties of sunlight. That boosts and revitalizes our immune systems.

The risk of skin cancer from sun exposure is hugely overstated, and no direct evidence has ever been produced. Correlation isn't causality.

And the same thing can be said about sunglasses. Our eyes are out most efficient receptors and transformers of the sun's healing energies, vitamins produced. Blocking our brilliantly designed eyes from doing the job that they are created for - which is more than just vision - is the height of stupidity and the arrogance of man. Belief that we can and must improve God's already perfect job of our creation.

Like, OMG, how'd man ever live before sunglasses and sunscreen were invented!!

Common. Sense. Just don't look directly in the sun, something our instincts already tell us not to do, the discomfort being all the alert we need to not do.

Expose yourself to sun without screen or glasses daily, but do so in moderation. For the best health...as God designed us to enjoy. Without man's "fixes."

It doesn't matter if any of us don't subscribe to her because her paid subs are likely AstroTurf and we're largely never going dissuade anyone dumb enough to legitimately pay for a subscription to YLE.

OK, Bill, but tell us how you REALLY feel about YLE and this woman LOL! Seriously, I'm right alongside you. Brilliant article, you hit many nails on the head and are exactly right on with all of this - and my virologist/immunologist scientist husband with over 50 yrs in the field agrees with you 150%!!! He says anyone who claims to speak for science doesn't, not these days. He's so embarrassed by "science" today that he's too embarrassed to tell anyone he's a scientist. This is a man who has lived and breathed science since he was 8 y.o. (He will soon be 80 so that's 72 yrs.) I am so very glad to see someone like you write about this - you speak genuine TRUTH, sir!!!

Thanks to you and your husband, E Grogan. I didn't hold back today. I've taken the same approach with some of the faux "fearless, truth-seeking" non-journalists I've tried to out for their hypocrisy and cowardness.

IMHO, there are way too many non-journalists posing as journalists - and sadly they don't seem to know their behind from a lollipop. No wonder the public has been so confused but lots of us have been waking up so there's hope.

Just got this in my inbox and thought you might be interested. I've followed this news site for years;

https://www.muckraker.com/

This is what real journalism used to be - journalist went to the area where they wanted to report, then reported what they themselves had witnessed and they often endangered themselves in doing so. This was just sent to me and isn't on the website as far as I can tell but these 2 young men who did this are worth watching IMO. Here's what they said:

-----

Muckraker Followed The Entire Europe Invasion Route

We just wrapped up a two-month journey following the full Europe invasion route.

We started in Africa, followed the aliens to European islands, and tracked them across the continent.

Along the way, we infiltrated numerous NGOs, were attacked, threatened with kidnapping, and more. In Paris, we were jumped by a horde of African aliens in front of the Eiffel Tower. In Northern France, we met a man whose goat was eaten by the invaders.

Our upcoming documentary will walk you through the entire invasion route and show how the United Nations, national governments, and various NGOs are systematically replacing native Europeans with foreign aliens, many of whom, it’s worth noting, are illiterate and believe in witchcraft.

When we followed the alien trail from South America to the U.S. border, our primary concern was criminal organizations.

On this route, our chief concern was foreign governments.

Had things gone differently, we could have ended up in a European or African prison cell.

But God was on our side, and we made it through.

We’re about to bring you the most powerful documentary ever made on the invasion of Europe.

You will be hearing more about this very soon.

Stay tuned.

YLE starts with " I’m here for a TEDTalk Summit focused on the intersection of a warming climate and health."

Whenever I see the words "intersection", "intersectionality" or "community", I know immediately that it is leftist propaganda.

I had not heard off YLE. But I will say that I am impressed with the fact that no matter how much damage they do, no matter how many "climate change" predictions do not come true, no matter how many Covid vaccine injuries occur, no matter how many young people are mentally and physically hurt by transgender nonsense, no matter how poorly they do in elections or polls . . . the Left just keeps going and doubles down.

They know that if the lie is big enough and repeated often enough, it has a good chance of eventually prevailing.

I read one of her stacks once & I think I tried responding (it had to be by DM, as no way was I going to pay her anything) her point was bogus, as was her response & all & all, a waste of time.

1) "tripe (Public Health Establishment and Big Pharma variety) pays handsomely." Agreed.

2) "“TEDTalks” - the world’s dumbest and/or captured “experts” ". Agreed.

3) We are dealing w/ " leaders of the global cult".

4) "The Establishment is deathly afraid of real facts". Agreed.

5) "NIH’s ability to do its job well" does not exist. NIH = Non-Intelligent Healthworkers.

6) CDC = Center for Disease Coordination.

7) PRIDE = Perverse Ridiculous Inane Dystopian Extremists

8) YLE = Yes Loving Elephant (dung)
