People on the internet are scoffing at the Covid vaccine because it does not keep you from getting Covid. The measles vaccine seems pretty durable but the flu takes a booster every year. All vaccines are not exactly the same. At 88 I get a flu vaccine and a Covid vaccine every fall because without them either the flu or Covid might send me to heaven or wherever the life force goes when it leaves the body.

I am disappointed by these doctors resigning. They only made it easy for him to stack the organization with ideologues. They should have stood their ground and force Mr. Worm Brain to fire them.

The End Of The Line For Fiat Currencies (from Macleod Substack)

The shape of the next financial crisis is now becoming apparent. Rising bond yields, driven by increasing risk in the light of G7 government debt crises in the four major currencies will have the following consequences:

· A collapse in equities, the suddenness of which will be exacerbated by sudden awareness of the knock-on consequences

The BRICS coalition is establishing an alternative to using the dollar as a reserve currency in international trade involving 50 countries This deals a significant blow to the hegemony of the dollar in use of international trade

· Liquidation of malinvestments in the private sector, leading to insolvencies, unemployment, and potential banking distress

· Panicked collateral liquidation of equity stocks by banks as loans become uncovered

· Economic slumps in all the G7, leading to lower tax revenues and higher welfare costs leading to soaring budget deficits, which in turn tightens the bond trap screws

· A doom loop of rising bond yields, interest rates, deficits, collapsing financial collateral values, deepening economic slumps, corporate failures, and banking crises Rinse and repeat, again and again

· Financial and systemic contagion between G7 nations will ensure that none of them escape the collapse, and individual national remedies will be overwhelmed

In a nutshell, the entire system of credit embodied in fiat currencies faces the prospect of a rapid collapse

Incompetent, and worst of all, batshit! It's like giving a two-year-old keys to the car.

Now AI is set to determine Medicare allowance/medical care with a monetary incentive to deny care.

Excellent interview! I was particularly struck by the assertion that so many approaches that would truly make people healthier (access to affordable healthcare, bringing healthy foods into food deserts, better mass transit, green spaces, nutrition programs) are programs put forward by democrats - and now being slashed by this regime. That is a message that needs to be broadcast loudly and repeatedly.

To me it is loyalty to an administration vs loyalty to a profession. Seeing as he probably has made plenty of money being a doctor and has been (as a doctor very philanthropic) he probably would have been better to NOT vote RFK, JR into the position that he's in. He above everyone else, should have realized that RFK, Jr wasn't qualified to be in the position he was vying for. And unfortunately the die has been cast. Cassidy DID grill RFK, JR yesterday, but unless he cast the vote to impeach him for all his infractions, it will definitely defying his Hippocratic Oath!

Remember how the refuglucans were screaming about "Death Panels" if Obama care was passed into law? Guess who's really instituted those Death Panels?
