It's disturbing to see the level of truths, facts and accurate information that is withheld from the public debate around COVID-19. Fortunately, the information is out there if you really want to know what's happening. This also slides over to the debate around vaccination. Did you know? If you have a large amount of excess body fat, it minimizes the ability of the COVID-19 jab to do its job properly? Science spells that all out. In laymen's terms, if you have a large amount of excess body fat,...

Without the work of the White Coat Waste Project, we may have never learned about the grotesque, vile horror taking place under the watch of the National Institute of Health and their wretched leader, Tony Fauci. The White Coat Waste Project receives all of its funding from small donors. They have long utilized a "Bernie Sanders-esque" fundraising model. This gives them a large, grassroots base of support. In spite of the best efforts of the major media and all of his followers to protect him,...

Did you know that COVID-19 has thousands of variations by now? Thousands. The global elite who control the world and want to control your life have decided to use the Greek letter "Omicron" and attach it to a COVID-19 variant to scare you into submission to how they want you to live your life. From the video: viral variations are natural, and they occur in probabilistic fashion all over the world in a rough period of time. This has nothing to do with spread between countries. It is a natural...

We have to be the dumbest nation on earth, giving out free donuts to coax a person into getting vaccinated against COVID-19. And that same donut creates a biological response that lessens the impact and efficacy of that vaccination (according to science, but why bother with science?) The stupidity does extend to Minnesota, where reporters caught comments by folks complaining that some college campuses do not have posters that promote vaccination. This was reported in the Star Tribune on...

I'm writing this on Sunday morning, November 21, after coming home from worship service at West Lake Johanna Lutheran church in Gilchrist Township, Pope County. It's worth noting that I worshiped there without having to prove my C-19 vaccination status. Today I'll attend a church dinner and later the school musical - also without having to prove my C-19 vaccination status. In fact, every interaction I've made this weekend and will make in the coming week will take place without having to prove my C-19 vaccination status. My opinion: I think...

What a world we live in. We have so-called "experts" saying that they "believe" there won't be adverse reactions for COVID vaccinations to children ages 5 to 11 at any worse of a level than what they see in teenagers. Yet they have no science or data to back that up. Where are the trials showing long-term results? Long-term effects? Where's the data from 1 year out? Where's the data from 2 years out? The number of child participants in the vaccine trials only numbered about 3,000 with...
