These are helpful heuristics and I found myself employing a similar approach during the earliest period of the 'pandemic'. It is why I thought all the politicians and public health 'experts' who were found to be continually breaking lockdowns rule so important. So this is supposed to be the deadliest and horrifying viral wave of all time, and you're telling everyone to stay home and disrupt all societal processes -- but actually you're out gallivanting and

1. cheating on your wife (Matt Hancock, UK health secretary at the time)

2. cheating on someone else's wife (Neil Ferguson, UK fake health prophet who said UK will have 500k deaths from covid and that's with a vaccine, and who said we need to stay locked down)

3. going to restaurants secretly ("French Laundry") when you're telling everyone to stay home and shutting down businesses and schools (Gavin Newsom, California)

and so on.

It was more than mere hypocrisy. It just kept happening, and it was happening to the people who are supposedly the most clued in to the 'dangers' we were exposed, and had 'the most to lose' because it's just so important to have people like Newsom, Hancock, Ferguson, and the other fools at the helm.

Again we saw this everywhere. The other notable example was the secret festivities of Boris Johnson and his buddies in the UK.

When this is happening to the people who are executing the biggest transformation of society, who are constantly shaming the populace for doing things like going to the beach, then it is as you say, a MAJOR discrepancy, and it is no mere puritan policing on our part. Given the supposed stakes ("covid is a threat to everyone), it is obvious the complete divergence between public speech and private action reveals the emptiness of their perspective. Consider how people, especially the 'elites', would have acted, if there was a real crisis where the mere breathing of air was a significant threat. They certainly wouldn't be engaging in trivial trysts that could put them at risk.

By the way, there is a discussion group which had focused on collecting these instances, if you ever need references for future posts. It is called "LockdownHypocrites". Here are 2 archival snapshots, one from a year ago and one from today.

Also, I never saw that interview with you and Dr. Malone before.

It reminds me, did you ever happen to see the following paper? If not, I think it would be of great interest, because it focuses on the DNA/reverse-transcription question regarding the mRNA vaccines. Coincidentally, the abstract I will quote from also mentions a big discrepancy, our current theme.

>mRNA Vaccines: Why Is the Biology of Retroposition Ignored?

Tomislav Domazet-Lošo. Genes (Basel). 2022 May; 13(5): 719.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9141755/

Abstract excerpt:

"Here, I discuss the pervasive claim that mRNA-based vaccines cannot alter genomes. Surprisingly, this notion is widely stated in the mRNA vaccine literature but never supported by referencing any primary scientific papers that would specifically address this question. This discrepancy becomes even more puzzling if one considers previous work on the molecular and evolutionary aspects of retroposition in murine and human populations that clearly documents the frequent integration of mRNA molecules into genomes, including clinical contexts. By performing basic comparisons, I show that the sequence features of mRNA vaccines meet all known requirements for retroposition using L1 elements—the most abundant autonomously active retrotransposons in the human genome. In fact, many factors associated with mRNA vaccines increase the possibility of their L1-mediated retroposition. I conclude that is unfounded to a priori assume that mRNA-based therapeutics do not impact genomes and that the route to genome integration of vaccine mRNAs via endogenous L1 retroelements is easily conceivable."

Hi Dr. Nagase. I’ve just discovered you, by way of Sage Hana, and just subscribed. I’ve always been amazed by people who seem to have an innate ability to analyze an extremely complex issue and, more importantly, to convey it to others in an understandable and logical way. I look forward to reading past articles and many more in the future. Thank you
