Whom to Trust

I trust DATA

On the one hand, Mr. Biden said,

You're not going to -- you're not going to get COVID if you have these vaccinations.

On the other-other hand, Boris Johnson, U.K. Prime Ministers, says:

So the message is that the boosters are fantastic. The levels of protection are really very high, but … it doesn’t protect you against catching the disease, and it doesn’t protect you against passing it on. So now is the time to get your booster.

Certainly Johnson is correct that the Vax provides no protection against CoVid-1984 Cases, since numbers from the U.K. show that the Vax’d are more likely to have it and pass it along. But I have trouble following his logic that then therefore we all must not only get Vax’d, but also get Boosted (otherwise the beatings, I mean Lock-Downs, will have to continue).

For me, the answer is simple: I trust neither of these guys, nor politicians in general, as most people in the world SAY (but apparently are unable to DO):

Another thing I also have trouble believing is why most liberal well-educated Democrats in particular have almost complete trust in the MSM, Government, Biden, Fauci (and other pathological lie-ers), the FDA, CDC, and all the other 3-letter agencies, especially when it comes to CoVid-1984. Talk about “Group-Think”. A very interesting subject to study, especially if one were a psychologist or sociologist, but good luck getting any funding! (Unless perhaps you want to work for the CIA).

Doctors and Scientists, also susceptible to the human condition called “Group Think”, are going to take a huge hit in trust-level due to the CoVid-1984 and Climate Crisis Narratives. Whether I live to see it is another question. The Catholic Church sure survived Galileo, and the Medical Field survived Blood-Letting¹ by many centuries, but maybe things happen faster today, maybe people are waking up. On the other-other hand, the sciences of Propaganda and Group Think are also much more advanced today, and human nature doesn’t change (e.g. chapter the Grand Inquisitor in Dostoyevsky’s the Brothers Karamazov) [i.e., humans are Herd-Following Pack Animals]), and Assange remains in prison without a word from the “Free Press”. Yep, I now recognize why it is so easy for leaders and governments to lead their countries off to the next war.

And 8 months ago I thought I had just finally accepted this fact.

Bloodletting is an uncompromising, provocative exposé about education reform in the United States. In Bloodletting, David Ellison provides an evidenced-based overview of the on-going fiasco of American education, using cogent, accessible language, often citing his own poignant and too-often heart-wrenching personal experience. Bloodletting is a bold treatise from a 30-year veteran educator and a passionate writer.

Definitely not his best book! I’d rather recommend Santander, or Chalk Dust.
