David Litt’s essay is a perfect example of the reason Donald Trump won the election. I didn’t vote for him in ‘16, or ‘20, but was thrilled to vote for him in ‘24 for multiple reasons. One strong reason was as a big middle finger to condescending over educated morons such as Litt! Enjoy your bubble David, give me an electrician over a speechwriter every day.
No, we voted for the guy who said that because it signaled he understood our frustration with open borders, no vetting, no accountability. Also, we’ve been watching what the uncontrolled immigration tsunami is doing to Europe, not to mention their zombie like fascination with “green energy”. We weren’t trying to “own” anybody; we’re trying to save our country from the likes of you.
With respect to energy, “zombie like” is being stuck with fossil fuels, which we know are causing harm, and putting up artificial barriers to renewable energy projects, like yankee Doodle Dani is doing.
No, you surely don't. Rejecting someone for who they vote for is not very dissimilar to rejecting them for the God they pray to. Then again, seeing how antisemitism and the left seem to love each other these days...
He "signalled your frustration with open borders" by being an endless font of racism. So if that's your signal, yeah, you go in the familial dumping grounds of oblivion.
Marshmallow, is the door to your “home” open to anyone who wants to come in without concern?
This has NOTHING to do with “racism” for (what I suspect is) the majority of us. It has to do with keeping our “Home” as safe as possible by being RESPONSIBLE and CONSIDERATE for the concerns of the rest of the “family”.
Yes, people voted for a guy who did and said things of which you disapproved. You voted for a person who did and said a lot of things of which other people disapproved.
But what Sey is trying to point out is that it's almost exclusively one of these two sides that attempted to punish political difference through shunning and ostracism, delivered with preening smugness and condescension.
Besides the interpersonal ugliness of such behavior, it's ugly politics to insist that only your candidate is legitimate, and if too many people vote for the other one then democracy itself will fail. The attitude seems kind of fascist, actually.
Surprisingly, calling the voters Nazis failed as a strategy for the Democrats in 2024, but I'm sure that "you're all racist pedophiles" will assure electoral success in 2028! I mean, you said it once and already I'm convinced and ready to vote exactly the way you want me to.
Simon, are you aware that there are cultures that actually eat certain animals that we would never touch?
If you have an interest in Sociology, Geography and Cultural studies you might have known this.
The surprise for me wasn’t that cats and dogs might have been eaten (by very hungry immigrants who had no source of income and need to eat), but that they had no understanding of how unacceptable this would be viewed in their host country.
As a “guest” I always try to mind my manners in someone else’s home.
So you’re good with her man yelling, on live national TV no less, unsubstantiated claims like “They’re eating the dogs!!! They’re eating the cats!!!”? Are you aware that when they were caught lying all they did was attack them even more?
Simon, I see ALL people as imperfect human beings, myself included. Some are “better off” than others but God sees the Individual and the intimacy of their personal life story (which has helped to form them into who they are at any given point in time).
This is where “Mercy” and “Grace” are given by those who have the Humility to know they, too, are imperfect.
I’m grateful that, in my home, we were taught to forgive someone’s Ignorance. I feel Pity for those who find it necessary to disparage people they do not know. It speakers volumes about Personal Character.
Do you take everything at face value that you hear on main stream media? I don't depend on what I hear via just any media, only those who have proven to be intelligent and uncaptured.
How do you know what I know about anything? You are "assuming" something that is not true.
Your ugly responses tell me that you are Partisan, so we're not on the same page anyway. I enjoy thoughtful, intelligent conversation as opposed to name calling and ugly language.
I won't bother you with any further comments, Simon.
I wonder if David Litt's education at Yale and wherever he went to school earlier provided him with a good enough understanding of biology and statistics to even have an informed opinion about vaccine efficacy and safety...I'm guessing not.
What do you think he missed? Do you have enough education of biology and statistics to even have an informed opinion about long COVID and virus transmission and virulence?
"My frostiness wasn’t personal. It was strategic. Being unfriendly to people who turned down the vaccine felt like the right thing to do. How else could we motivate them to mend their ways?”
Some of us, even without a degree in biology (or immunology) and statistics, recognized the grave danger of turning one's own cells into "spike protein factories"...and no amount of shunning, shaming, threats, bullying, demonization, coercion, abuse, or scapegoating was going to make us "mend our ways".
The mRNA shots were/are always going to be an immunological catastrophe for humanity.
Thank you to all the brave doctors & scientists and all the people of the world with curiosity, integrity, and strength of character who have risked so much to get this info out into the world.
The mechanism of action (using mRNA instructions to turn one’s own cells into foreign non-self “spike protein factories”) is the primary mechanism of harm.
The primary danger of the COVID-19 mRNA injections has always been one’s own immune system’s attack response by the mighty CD8+ Cytotoxic T Lymphocyte cells (AKA Killer T-cells):
The COVID-19 mRNA injections must be recalled from the market and mRNA-based products must be banned because the modified mRNA-LNP genetic technology platform is fundamentally flawed & dangerous by design.
These modified mRNA-LNP COVID-19 injections, that trigger one's own immune system to attack & kill one's own formerly healthy cells (that have been instructed to produce/express foreign, non-self proteins), no matter where those cells are in the body, never should have been made available to the public in the first place.
When the (designed to be long-lasting) n1-methyl pseudouridine modified mRNA transfects one's cells, and gives instructions for the ribosomes to make & express foreign non-self proteins (such as the toxic SARS-CoV-2 spike protein), one's immune system sends the CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) to kill those formerly healthy cells that are now making & expressing non-self proteins.
It is the mission of these CD8+ CTLs to seek out and destroy any such transfected cell that is making foreign non-self proteins. That’s what they do…
Due to the biodistribution properties of the lipid nanoparticles, the encased modified mRNA can go anywhere in the body, including crossing the blood-brain and placental barriers...The LNP "delivery vehicles" traveled to different parts of the body in different people.
Expressing any foreign protein is fatal to the cell doing the expressing. The reason is, our bodies are protected by being able to distinguish ourselves from things that shouldn't be there. Anything non-self will trigger immune destruction of the cells & tissues involved.
Some people will express lots of foreign proteins in vulnerable locations. Others express less in less vulnerable areas.
The location of expression defines the adverse event: if you get foreign protein expression in your heart cells, you could get myocarditis & experience cardiac arrest; if the expression is in your brain, spinal cord, or peripheral nervous system, you could get one or more of a variety of neurological conditions; if in your eye, possible blindness; if in your ovaries, possible infertility; if in the placenta, possible miscarriage, stillbirth, or birth defects; if in the endothelial cells that line your blood vessels, possible vascular &/or microvascular injuries like clots/microclots or the long white fibrous clots, leading to strokes, heart attacks, or pulmonary embolisms…
If the expression of foreign proteins is in your own immune cells, you could experience immune dysfunction, dysregulation, & suppression including repeated infections, immune tolerance of a pathogenic foreign protein due to antibody subclass switch to IgG4 & increased IgG4-related diseases, T cell exhaustion, interference with & suppression of innate immunity, persistent systemic inflammation, dysregulation of toll-like receptors and reduced cancer surveillance or the suppression of tumor-suppressing immune system activities & cell-signaling (increasing your risk of fast-growing and aggressive cancers)…
And more…
There's no limit to the horrible consequences of injecting into your body something that triggers your own immune system to attack & kill your own formerly healthy cells & tissues.
The public “health” agencies, the COVID “authorities”, & the “mainstream” media fraudulently marketed these experimental mRNA gene “therapy” products as “safe & effective vaccines”. Trusting people thought that they were being presented with the choice (or the mandate) as to whether or not to take a “safe & effective vaccine”…But that was/is a deceptively false “choice”…
The COVID-19 mRNA injections are NOT safe, they are NOT effective, and they are NOT vaccines.
These modified mRNA-LNP gene “therapy” injections never would have passed proper safety studies required for gene therapy products. Safety studies (including biodistribution, immunogenicity, immunotoxicity, genotoxicity, carcinogenicity, reproductive toxicity, shedding, long-term effects, & more) that were bypassed because of the fraudulent mislabeling as “vaccines”. (And because of the EUA & “countermeasure” designations under the Project BioShield Act & PREP Act).
NO ONE should have ever had the “choice” of taking these gene “therapy” injections because the modified mRNA-LNP genetic technology platform is fundamentally flawed & dangerous by design.
The danger is NOT limited to just getting more COVID “boosters”. ANY mRNA gene “therapy” product that transfects your cells and instructs those cells to produce foreign non-self proteins (ANY non-self protein) will trigger an immune system attack response against your own cells & tissues (the role of the Killer T-cells is to monitor ALL the cells of the body, ready to destroy/kill any that express foreign, non-self proteins). This makes EVERY mRNA-based injected product harmful by design.
No one who took these modified mRNA-LNP COVID injections made an informed decision. Most people had no clue about what they allowed to be injected into their bodies...
Also most people still do not understand that the devastating harms inflicted upon people over the last few years was intentional:
Even simpler than that - the sorry excuse for a Pfizer trial had no defined tracking of prevention of transmission as a measurable endpoint. All of the propaganda about doing something for others falls apart from the start.
AFTER the mighty CD8+ Cytotoxic T Lymphocyte cells (AKA Killer T-cells) attack response to modified mRNA transfected cells of tissues & organs inside your body:
After the primary immune system attack response by the cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs), resulting in varying degrees of tissue damage & pathology in different people, a lot happens...
The CTLs will not be able to kill every cell making non-self (spike) protein, so some amount of foreign (spike) protein will get made & released from your cells. That amount will also vary from person to person.
Specialized cells called antigen-presenting cells, especially dendritic cells and macrophages, spring into action. Long story short…you will get serum antibodies made against those foreign proteins which is the stated goal of any shot called a vaccine.
But that can take up to 2 weeks, and during that time, the foreign non-self (spike) proteins are biologically active and will attach to various cellular receptors, resulting in a whole new level of possible tissue destruction.
Now your immune system will activate macrophages & neutrophils that will kill THOSE cells through inflammatory pathways, regardless of whether or not the non-self proteins are toxic themselves.
And if the non-self proteins ARE toxic, like the pathogenic spike proteins, they can cause problems like tissue damage all by themselves without your immune system even being involved at that point.
But your adaptive immune system has done its job & you've made your serum antibodies by now! Yippee!
Too bad those (non-neutralizing, leaky) serum antibodies can only REACT to a (SARS-CoV-2) infection...it is biologically impossible for serum antibodies (in the blood) to PREVENT respiratory infections that enter the body through the mucosa of the mouth/throat, nose, & eyes.
To PREVENT respiratory infections requires a strong innate immune system with mucosal immunity and secretory IgA to stop the respiratory infection at the mucosal and epithelial barriers (stopping the infection OUTSIDE your body and PREVENTING the infection from getting INSIDE your body).
And this is also where the CTLs are supposed to do their cell-destroying activities. When epithelial cells in the mouth/throat, nose, & eyes are infected (like can happen with respiratory diseases) the Killer T-cells will kill those infected cells.
Epithelial cells at the epithelial barrier can be quickly replaced, usually in just a few days in most people. But injections bypass your body's natural protections and send their payload into your body, where that payload can enter your lymph system and bloodstream.
And in the case of the modified mRNA-LNP gene "therapy" injections, this can be disastrous, starting with the immune system attack response against transfected cells of tissues & organs (INSIDE your body) that are now making foreign non-self proteins.
Replacing cells from now damaged tissues and organs inside your body is a complex process that can take weeks or longer, with some areas unable to be repaired at all.
The modification of natural mRNA with synthetic n1-methyl pseudouridine made the modified mRNA longer lasting and resistant to the body’s natural breakdown processes. A Nobel Prize was awarded specifically for this use of longer lasting pseudouridine in the COVID modified mRNA injections.
The synthetic pseudouridine modified mRNA is causing a +1 ribosomal frameshift, as well as a reverse reading, so some people may make spike proteins AND mystery (or junk) non-self proteins.
Studies have found that an antibody subclass switch to IgG4 can occur between mRNA shot #2 & #3, which is sending a stand-down signal to the immune system, essentially telling the immune system to tolerate and ignore the (toxic pathogenic) spike proteins instead of actively fighting to clear the spike from the body.
And people who are getting "booster" after "booster" are repeatedly triggering these immune system activities and causing persistent systemic inflammation, which can cause hyper-immune and autoimmune responses...and then possible immune system exhaustion as your immune system becomes overwhelmed.
Pathology reports, including from autopsies, have revealed & confirmed the Killer T Lymphocyte infiltration & destruction of cells, oftentimes in vital organs.
And then there's the plasmid DNA contamination (with the oncogenic SV-40 promotor sequence) that's been discovered. There are a number of ways in which integration into the human genome is possible...
And more...
I am not a doctor…so PLEASE let me know of any corrections that need to be made if I have misstated something…
But tragically, I think the injuries, disabilities, and deaths from these modified mRNA-LNP gene “therapy” injections prove that the COVID shots have been an IMMUNOLOGICAL CATASTROPHE.

Portions of my 2 comments relied on my notes from their work, as well as other doctors' and scientists' work from my over 10,000 hours researching all things "COVID" and the modified mRNA-LNP gene "therapy" injections since 2020. But as I am not a professional researcher, either, I am sorry to say that I neglected to keep proper citations.
Wow Simon! Kelly lays out a succinct and knowledgeable analysis of the Vaxx and you call it blather? Truly you are deceived. I’m very sorry for your blindness!
Because I have read extensively about the vaxx and she is saying what real experts have been saying from the beginning. They have actual real science to back them up!
"There was more myocarditis from COVID than what was purported to be from vaccines." FALSE.
Simon, you have been tragically misinformed, manipulated, and deceived.
For the sake of your own health and life, I hope you open your eyes and mind to the actual facts and objective truth about the modified mRNA-LNP gene "therapy" injections.
No, I just don’t jump to attention every time some clown pretends to know more about immunology and virology than people who actually do, especially when they shill for the culture wars Yankee Doodle Dani is engaging in to feed her base.
"Dude on Rumble" is neither a reason for nor against believing what a person says. Rumble is a platform, nothing more. Try debating the claims themselves rather than the platform. And realize that some dudes on Rumble are doctors, medical researchers, statisticians, etc. But they shouldn't be believed only for their credentials, but for the veracity of their claims. Yet if you require some sort of appeal to authority, we can provide that, too, with many papers published in medical journals on the dangers of the mRNA injections.
I would rather read what someone has to say, and explore what other peolpe say about the same issues and that person. Sitting while a video plays is the most useless way to engage in important informatin.
I can't even find any references to this dude anywhere. Why would I take him seriously?
Well, first of all, it's not me who feels like it's my 'civic duty' to be rude to people...even close people...because of disagreement over facts and policy.
Second, I have indeed taken statistics classes, and I invest in early-stage companies, including biotechs. I do have a decent understanding how to analyze data, and I also have some knowledge of the benefits and perils of mathematical modeling.
It’s funny that Litt must think that writing this makes him sound like a good guy for coming around and broadening his world view. When in fact it underlines what a terrible, terrible person he is.
In my experience, working class people don’t care what other people think of them very much. They do their thing and you do yours and if you disagree with them, fine, everyone has a right to his opinion. It’s the highly educated (more than a BA) upper middle class who care so much what other people think of their opinions that they assume everyone feels the same way.
Caring so much about what others think about your opinion sounds so... high school. I wonder if many overeducated people are stuck in high school mentality because they were in school (secondary, college, graduate) for so long, they didn't stop to actually think/live/mature/reassess. (As a full disclosure, I am sort of one of them, I do have an advanced degree, lol).
I went to Stanford too. Dropped out of our class alumni Facebook group because I couldn’t stand the assumption that we all agreed with Ted Lieu and Cory Booker. There is no greater privilege than believing you always stand on the moral high ground.
This guy is proud he took a shot that doesn’t prevent transmission, has no long term safety studies, and now has an enormous number of reported side effects, including death, that are very disturbing and far exceed any previous vaccine. The writer is unfortunately a dupe and not too bright despite his degrees.
Lisa, here's a great link to back up your factually true and unfortunately accurate comment about the "enormous number of reported side effects, including death..."
A compilation of over 700 peer-reviewed studies & scientific papers of COVID-19 mRNA "Vaccine" Harms:
Thank you Kelly. Pretty shocking compilation. Our cowardly press has for the most part elected not to cover this information which is coming out from studies all over the world, including very recent stats from Israel about the danger of taking the Covid vaccine during pregnancy which was urged on young women.
You're being too kind by referring to them as "our cowardly press"...the horrific destruction & possibly irreparable division that the "mainstream" media has caused with their intentional lies of omission, manipulative propaganda & deceptions, and malicious ideological agenda is an absolute betrayal.
The censorship & criminalization of dissent from the "official" narrative, the suppression of successful preventative & early treatments with vitamins, natural therapies, & with off-patent repurposed drugs with decades of safe use in humans, the persecution of those warning of the predictable dangers of the mRNA shots, the urging, bribing, pressuring, intimidation, coercion, threatening and mandating of these gene "therapy" products by the "authorities" and the "mainstream" media's complicity with all of this was/is unforgivable.
The dangers of the modified mRNA-LNP gene "therapy" injections were predicted...This was/is an intentional immunological catastrophe...
That link is to a compilation of over 700 peer-reviewed studies/articles.
It is a 181 page document with hyperlinks to the individual peer-reviewed studies/articles.
These over 700 peer-reviewed studies/articles were analyzed & utilized in the book, "Toxic Shot: Facing the Dangers of the COVID "Vaccines"', written by Dr. Byram Bridle & Dr. Harvey Risch with contributions by Drs. Matt Bain, Steven Hatfill, Peter McCullough, Jane Orient, Jessica Rose, James Thorp, Kelly Victory, David Wiseman, Martin Wucher, and Naomi Wolf. The foreword is written by Senator Ron Johnson.
From the book:
"From 2021-2023, the United States alone suffered 600,000 unexplained excess deaths not associated with COVID-19, while official data reveals over two million Americans became newly disabled over the same period. These shocking figures are mirrored by similar trends from abroad, reflecting the global scale of the mRNA "vaccine" catastrophe.
Government officials and academic "experts" claim to be stumped by these "mysterious" trends, but the cause is plain to see, as shown in this book. In chapter after chapter, brave scientific dissidents present damning proof of the myriad risks posed by the "vaccines," drawing on abundant scientific research as they explain why the experimental shots are so dangerous.
This evidence includes research showing the mechanisms behind potentially fatal side effects such as myocarditis, blood clots, and paralysis, as well as critical harms to fertility and pregnancy, among other dangers."
LadyLaz, it's probably a good idea to read some of these over 700 peer-reviewed studies/articles, which are explained and discussed in the book "pushed by Sen Johnson and Naomi Wolf", before making any more comments.
“COVID-19 infection poses higher risk for myocarditis than vaccines. The overall risk of myocarditis – inflammation of the heart muscle – is substantially higher immediately after being infected with COVID-19 than it is in the weeks following vaccination for the coronavirus, a large new study in England shows”
It was enough people for Pfizer to add it to their safety warnings. If they are scientifically competent for you to believe "the vaccines are 100% safe" then they are scientifically competent to update their warnings
I used to be one of these snobby elitists. I didn’t go to any elite schools, but I grew up and still live in a homogenous, conservative place. Looking down my nose at the “normies” was how I used to rebel against them.
My God I used to be so boring. Hanging out with other elitists discussing our superior tastes in everything, shunning each other if anyone got too basic—way before cancel culture was a thing.
I was an alcoholic—probably the only way to deal with how insufferable I and my friends were.
I’ve had a long slow journey out of elitism, and the thing that finally broke me out of it was working in a cancer clinic for a few months. That made me quit caring whether patients wore MAGA hats or not, and quit looking down my nose at “normies.”
interesting, i think my alcohol use(abuse) was quite integral to my snobby attitudes. Sobriety and testosterone treatment changed all that. I did flunk out of prestigious Washington Univ., the “Harvud” of the MIdwest!
They absolutely are snobs about handbags and accessories! Especially the men who suddenly ideate a female persona after watching too much porn and not dealing with some childhood trauma or other. These men, and their Dalton/Ivy League allies, show just how important expensive designer shoes and handbags are because, you know, if you're a dude who likes to feel the feelz while crossdressing, the handbags and shoes make your hands and feet look smaller and "female." Sounds harsh? My Ivy educated ex husband (Columbia, Univ Chicago and NYU) did all of the above. While I was wearing my pregnancy clothes a year after our second child was born because "we were economizing." Mamdani is the gift that keeps on giving, because he's proving me right day after day.
What's so awful to me is that Litt and the comments you cited saying "hell no" to him are all talking about family. About hating family because of politics. Well, that's one way to die alone and lonely I suppose. That level of self-righteousness is tragic.
Little Davey sounds like a first class douchebag. Which unfortunately, makes him typical of his ilk. These are truly odious people, whom I am happy to avoid as much as possible. Their assistance with that is quite appreciated.
Oh Jen. I think this is one of your absolute best works. We ARE the people who will help anyone out when they are in need of it and they will take that help without hesitation. When they no longer need that help they can't put enough distance between us. If they are again in need most of us will once again lend a hand and once again be shunned. Still, I'd rather be me than one of those sad people who think a degree is education as they go through their lives in ignorance, oblivious to what being human really means.
Its the Great Divorce. We are just co-habitating with marxist progressives because we have no better options currently. There is no common ground with those who want open borders, defunding police, or who see America as an ecomonic zone for radicalized third-worlders rather than as a sovereign country.
I'm waiting for them to deconstruct the future testimony of the 20 "gender doctors" who have been subpoenaed to testify about their fraudulent claims that their patients have changed sex through brutal genital surgeries! They'll find a way . . .
Luxury beliefs, snobbism, intellectual arrogance and disdain for the poor slobs who don’t see the world the same way espoused by Litt and his ilk is a big reason for the societal wedge has grown so huge. I hope his book fails miserably - thank you Jen for shining a hot, bright light on such disgusting traits.
If you ask a conservative why he or she supports their candidates, they can rattle off at least 2 or 3 real world, fact driven, TANGIBLE issues that affect large numbers of people.
If you ask the same of a liberal, you get an intangible, highly distant problem for which dispositive facts are few: climate change, “genocide,” or the catchall “If you don’t know, there’s nothing I can say to explain it.”
This last is pretty well captured by South Park’s 2006 episode “Smug Alert,” the most memorable plot line of which was liberals farting into empty wine glasses at parties so they could smell their own goodness. (That was 19 yrs ago, and the wine glasses have only gotten bigger.)
I was taken by the recent explanation by Batya Ungar-Sargon as to how she switched from liberal to conservative. She read a study of speech patterns when addressing racial minorities. It seemed that Liberals reduce the “education level” of their speech by 4 grade levels when speaking to minorities vs. others, and that Conservatives do not change their speech patterns at all.
She said it hit her like a lightning bolt that Liberals are the condescending racists, and Conservatives treat people equally.
Absolutely. Made famous by Bush 43. But it’s one of those phrases that “describes OTHER people; certainly not ME…” Until you get slapped with reality like a wet fish in the face.
David Litt’s essay is a perfect example of the reason Donald Trump won the election. I didn’t vote for him in ‘16, or ‘20, but was thrilled to vote for him in ‘24 for multiple reasons. One strong reason was as a big middle finger to condescending over educated morons such as Litt! Enjoy your bubble David, give me an electrician over a speechwriter every day.
“give me an electrician over a speechwriter every day.”
Amen! Amen! And Amen!!
Right...you just proved Litt's point.
You actually voted for a guy who yelled "THey're eating the dogs!!! They're eating the cats!!!" so that you can own the libs, huh?
No, we voted for the guy who said that because it signaled he understood our frustration with open borders, no vetting, no accountability. Also, we’ve been watching what the uncontrolled immigration tsunami is doing to Europe, not to mention their zombie like fascination with “green energy”. We weren’t trying to “own” anybody; we’re trying to save our country from the likes of you.
“Open borders”? Where?
With respect to energy, “zombie like” is being stuck with fossil fuels, which we know are causing harm, and putting up artificial barriers to renewable energy projects, like yankee Doodle Dani is doing.
You still don’t get it
I got it.
No, you surely don't. Rejecting someone for who they vote for is not very dissimilar to rejecting them for the God they pray to. Then again, seeing how antisemitism and the left seem to love each other these days...
Fascist destroyer of the once-great US. That’s who you follow.
He "signalled your frustration with open borders" by being an endless font of racism. So if that's your signal, yeah, you go in the familial dumping grounds of oblivion.
Marshmallow, is the door to your “home” open to anyone who wants to come in without concern?
This has NOTHING to do with “racism” for (what I suspect is) the majority of us. It has to do with keeping our “Home” as safe as possible by being RESPONSIBLE and CONSIDERATE for the concerns of the rest of the “family”.
As opposed to Democrats like Mohron, who self-identifies as black.
These people are hopeless. I know that, so I am not sure why I responded in the first place. Hopeless.
Yes, people voted for a guy who did and said things of which you disapproved. You voted for a person who did and said a lot of things of which other people disapproved.
But what Sey is trying to point out is that it's almost exclusively one of these two sides that attempted to punish political difference through shunning and ostracism, delivered with preening smugness and condescension.
Besides the interpersonal ugliness of such behavior, it's ugly politics to insist that only your candidate is legitimate, and if too many people vote for the other one then democracy itself will fail. The attitude seems kind of fascist, actually.
Yes, I disapprove of pedophilia and racism. I assume you don’t. That proves my thesis.
“My assumption about you proves my thesis about you” sums up the problem quite well.
Yes…the problem that there are so many stupid Americans who support a racist pedophile, like you.
Surprisingly, calling the voters Nazis failed as a strategy for the Democrats in 2024, but I'm sure that "you're all racist pedophiles" will assure electoral success in 2028! I mean, you said it once and already I'm convinced and ready to vote exactly the way you want me to.

So you’re good with her man yelling, on live national TV no less, unsubstantiated claims like “They’re eating the dogs!!! They’re eating the cats!!!”? Are you aware that when they were caught lying all they did was attack them even more?
Like I said, you’re fucking deplorable.
Simon, I see ALL people as imperfect human beings, myself included. Some are “better off” than others but God sees the Individual and the intimacy of their personal life story (which has helped to form them into who they are at any given point in time).

I’m grateful that, in my home, we were taught to forgive someone’s Ignorance. I feel Pity for those who find it necessary to disparage people they do not know. It speakers volumes about Personal Character.
You KNEW Trump is a pedophile, that he stole from his own charity, and that he was racist, and you voted for him anyway.
So yup, you’re not the kind of people I want around me at all. You’re fucking deplorable.
Simon,
Do you take everything at face value that you hear on main stream media? I don't depend on what I hear via just any media, only those who have proven to be intelligent and uncaptured.

Huh. So there fore we accept Trump and Vance with their hateful and racist rhetoric?
No thanks. We already know where that’s leading.
huh. SO there fore we accept Trump and Vance with their hateful and racist rhetoric?
No thanks. We already know where that’s leading.
So you're supportive of a racist nazi pedophile.
Good to know.
Then you’re not a good person.
Same.

These modified mRNA-LNP COVID-19 injections, that trigger one's own immune system to attack & kill one's own formerly healthy cells (that have been instructed to produce/express foreign, non-self proteins), no matter where those cells are in the body, never should have been made available to the public in the first place.
When the (designed to be long-lasting) n1-methyl pseudouridine modified mRNA transfects one's cells, and gives instructions for the ribosomes to make & express foreign non-self proteins (such as the toxic SARS-CoV-2 spike protein), one's immune system sends the CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) to kill those formerly healthy cells that are now making & expressing non-self proteins.
It is the mission of these CD8+ CTLs to seek out and destroy any such transfected cell that is making foreign non-self proteins. That’s what they do…
Due to the biodistribution properties of the lipid nanoparticles, the encased modified mRNA can go anywhere in the body, including crossing the blood-brain and placental barriers...The LNP "delivery vehicles" traveled to different parts of the body in different people.
Expressing any foreign protein is fatal to the cell doing the expressing. The reason is, our bodies are protected by being able to distinguish ourselves from things that shouldn't be there. Anything non-self will trigger immune destruction of the cells & tissues involved.
Some people will express lots of foreign proteins in vulnerable locations. Others express less in less vulnerable areas.
The location of expression defines the adverse event: if you get foreign protein expression in your heart cells, you could get myocarditis & experience cardiac arrest; if the expression is in your brain, spinal cord, or peripheral nervous system, you could get one or more of a variety of neurological conditions; if in your eye, possible blindness; if in your ovaries, possible infertility; if in the placenta, possible miscarriage, stillbirth, or birth defects; if in the endothelial cells that line your blood vessels, possible vascular &/or microvascular injuries like clots/microclots or the long white fibrous clots, leading to strokes, heart attacks, or pulmonary embolisms…
If the expression of foreign proteins is in your own immune cells, you could experience immune dysfunction, dysregulation, & suppression including repeated infections, immune tolerance of a pathogenic foreign protein due to antibody subclass switch to IgG4 & increased IgG4-related diseases, T cell exhaustion, interference with & suppression of innate immunity, persistent systemic inflammation, dysregulation of toll-like receptors and reduced cancer surveillance or the suppression of tumor-suppressing immune system activities & cell-signaling (increasing your risk of fast-growing and aggressive cancers)…
And more…
There's no limit to the horrible consequences of injecting into your body something that triggers your own immune system to attack & kill your own formerly healthy cells & tissues.
The public “health” agencies, the COVID “authorities”, & the “mainstream” media fraudulently marketed these experimental mRNA gene “therapy” products as “safe & effective vaccines”. Trusting people thought that they were being presented with the choice (or the mandate) as to whether or not to take a “safe & effective vaccine”…But that was/is a deceptively false “choice”…
The COVID-19 mRNA injections are NOT safe, they are NOT effective, and they are NOT vaccines.
These modified mRNA-LNP gene “therapy” injections never would have passed proper safety studies required for gene therapy products. Safety studies (including biodistribution, immunogenicity, immunotoxicity, genotoxicity, carcinogenicity, reproductive toxicity, shedding, long-term effects, & more) that were bypassed because of the fraudulent mislabeling as “vaccines”. (And because of the EUA & “countermeasure” designations under the Project BioShield Act & PREP Act).
NO ONE should have ever had the “choice” of taking these gene “therapy” injections because the modified mRNA-LNP genetic technology platform is fundamentally flawed & dangerous by design.
The danger is NOT limited to just getting more COVID “boosters”. ANY mRNA gene “therapy” product that transfects your cells and instructs those cells to produce foreign non-self proteins (ANY non-self protein) will trigger an immune system attack response against your own cells & tissues (the role of the Killer T-cells is to monitor ALL the cells of the body, ready to destroy/kill any that express foreign, non-self proteins). This makes EVERY mRNA-based injected product harmful by design.
No one who took these modified mRNA-LNP COVID injections made an informed decision. Most people had no clue about what they allowed to be injected into their bodies...
Also most people still do not understand that the devastating harms inflicted upon people over the last few years was intentional:

Even simpler than that - the sorry excuse for a Pfizer trial had no defined tracking of prevention of transmission as a measurable endpoint. All of the propaganda about doing something for others falls apart from the start.
100%
Wow. Just a very tiny bit of fact checking, and the arse falls outta yer blather.
“ The clinical trials did not assess if the vaccine could reduce transmission, and neither the companies nor the government ever claimed they did. ”
https://www.factcheck.org/2022/10/scicheck-its-not-news-nor-scandalous-that-pfizer-trial-didnt-test-transmission/
Part 2
AFTER the mighty CD8+ Cytotoxic T Lymphocyte cells (AKA Killer T-cells) attack response to modified mRNA transfected cells of tissues & organs inside your body:
After the primary immune system attack response by the cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs), resulting in varying degrees of tissue damage & pathology in different people, a lot happens...
The CTLs will not be able to kill every cell making non-self (spike) protein, so some amount of foreign (spike) protein will get made & released from your cells. That amount will also vary from person to person.
Specialized cells called antigen-presenting cells, especially dendritic cells and macrophages, spring into action. Long story short…you will get serum antibodies made against those foreign proteins which is the stated goal of any shot called a vaccine.
But that can take up to 2 weeks, and during that time, the foreign non-self (spike) proteins are biologically active and will attach to various cellular receptors, resulting in a whole new level of possible tissue destruction.
Now your immune system will activate macrophages & neutrophils that will kill THOSE cells through inflammatory pathways, regardless of whether or not the non-self proteins are toxic themselves.
And if the non-self proteins ARE toxic, like the pathogenic spike proteins, they can cause problems like tissue damage all by themselves without your immune system even being involved at that point.
But your adaptive immune system has done its job & you've made your serum antibodies by now! Yippee!
Too bad those (non-neutralizing, leaky) serum antibodies can only REACT to a (SARS-CoV-2) infection...it is biologically impossible for serum antibodies (in the blood) to PREVENT respiratory infections that enter the body through the mucosa of the mouth/throat, nose, & eyes.
To PREVENT respiratory infections requires a strong innate immune system with mucosal immunity and secretory IgA to stop the respiratory infection at the mucosal and epithelial barriers (stopping the infection OUTSIDE your body and PREVENTING the infection from getting INSIDE your body).
And this is also where the CTLs are supposed to do their cell-destroying activities. When epithelial cells in the mouth/throat, nose, & eyes are infected (like can happen with respiratory diseases) the Killer T-cells will kill those infected cells.
Epithelial cells at the epithelial barrier can be quickly replaced, usually in just a few days in most people. But injections bypass your body's natural protections and send their payload into your body, where that payload can enter your lymph system and bloodstream.
And in the case of the modified mRNA-LNP gene "therapy" injections, this can be disastrous, starting with the immune system attack response against transfected cells of tissues & organs (INSIDE your body) that are now making foreign non-self proteins.
Replacing cells from now damaged tissues and organs inside your body is a complex process that can take weeks or longer, with some areas unable to be repaired at all.
The modification of natural mRNA with synthetic n1-methyl pseudouridine made the modified mRNA longer lasting and resistant to the body’s natural breakdown processes. A Nobel Prize was awarded specifically for this use of longer lasting pseudouridine in the COVID modified mRNA injections.
The synthetic pseudouridine modified mRNA is causing a +1 ribosomal frameshift, as well as a reverse reading, so some people may make spike proteins AND mystery (or junk) non-self proteins.
Studies have found that an antibody subclass switch to IgG4 can occur between mRNA shot #2 & #3, which is sending a stand-down signal to the immune system, essentially telling the immune system to tolerate and ignore the (toxic pathogenic) spike proteins instead of actively fighting to clear the spike from the body.
And people who are getting "booster" after "booster" are repeatedly triggering these immune system activities and causing persistent systemic inflammation, which can cause hyper-immune and autoimmune responses...and then possible immune system exhaustion as your immune system becomes overwhelmed.
Pathology reports, including from autopsies, have revealed & confirmed the Killer T Lymphocyte infiltration & destruction of cells, oftentimes in vital organs.
And then there's the plasmid DNA contamination (with the oncogenic SV-40 promotor sequence) that's been discovered. There are a number of ways in which integration into the human genome is possible...
And more...
I am not a doctor…so PLEASE let me know of any corrections that need to be made if I have misstated something…
But tragically, I think the injuries, disabilities, and deaths from these modified mRNA-LNP gene “therapy” injections prove that the COVID shots have been an IMMUNOLOGICAL CATASTROPHE.

Wow Simon! Kelly lays out a succinct and knowledgeable analysis of the Vaxx and you call it blather? Truly you are deceived. I’m very sorry for your blindness!
How do you know it's "knowledgeable"? He could have made it all up. I don't see any references. Has he published anywhere?
Because I have read extensively about the vaxx and she is saying what real experts have been saying from the beginning. They have actual real science to back them up!
Uh huh. What have you read, and who wrote it?
So far all you're saying is "Believe me because I said I have credibility". That's not how it works.

"The mRNA shots were/are always going to be an immunological catastrophe for humanity."
Not at all.
There was more myocarditis from COVID than what was purported to be from vaccines.
Just because dude on Rumble says something, it doesn’t mean it’s true.
"There was more myocarditis from COVID than what was purported to be from vaccines." FALSE.
Simon, you have been tragically misinformed, manipulated, and deceived.
For the sake of your own health and life, I hope you open your eyes and mind to the actual facts and objective truth about the modified mRNA-LNP gene "therapy" injections.
No, I just don’t jump to attention every time some clown pretends to know more about immunology and virology than people who actually do, especially when they shill for the culture wars Yankee Doodle Dani is engaging in to feed her base.
Wow...name-calling, insults, and baseless accusations...how original.
Simon, since you are clearly not interested in having a respectful, thoughtful dialogue, I will no longer engage with you. Good luck.
Simon, do you realize all of your objections consist completely of logical fallacies?
"Dude on Rumble" is neither a reason for nor against believing what a person says. Rumble is a platform, nothing more. Try debating the claims themselves rather than the platform. And realize that some dudes on Rumble are doctors, medical researchers, statisticians, etc. But they shouldn't be believed only for their credentials, but for the veracity of their claims. Yet if you require some sort of appeal to authority, we can provide that, too, with many papers published in medical journals on the dangers of the mRNA injections.
I would rather read what someone has to say, and explore what other peolpe say about the same issues and that person. Sitting while a video plays is the most useless way to engage in important informatin.
I can't even find any references to this dude anywhere. Why would I take him seriously?
Well, first of all, it's not me who feels like it's my 'civic duty' to be rude to people...even close people...because of disagreement over facts and policy.
Second, I have indeed taken statistics classes, and I invest in early-stage companies, including biotechs. I do have a decent understanding how to analyze data, and I also have some knowledge of the benefits and perils of mathematical modeling.
Me too. Now tell us what they're getting wrong, and how you know.
It’s funny that Litt must think that writing this makes him sound like a good guy for coming around and broadening his world view. When in fact it underlines what a terrible, terrible person he is.
No, he was right before. Now he’s hanging with a Nazi
The "Nazi" is Trump, who is also racist (part of being a "Nazi"), and a pedophile.
In my experience, working class people don’t care what other people think of them very much. They do their thing and you do yours and if you disagree with them, fine, everyone has a right to his opinion. It’s the highly educated (more than a BA) upper middle class who care so much what other people think of their opinions that they assume everyone feels the same way.
Caring so much about what others think about your opinion sounds so... high school. I wonder if many overeducated people are stuck in high school mentality because they were in school (secondary, college, graduate) for so long, they didn't stop to actually think/live/mature/reassess. (As a full disclosure, I am sort of one of them, I do have an advanced degree, lol).
I went to Stanford too. Dropped out of our class alumni Facebook group because I couldn’t stand the assumption that we all agreed with Ted Lieu and Cory Booker. There is no greater privilege than believing you always stand on the moral high ground.
Keep on giving us details on their assumptions! Very important!
This guy is proud he took a shot that doesn’t prevent transmission, has no long term safety studies, and now has an enormous number of reported side effects, including death, that are very disturbing and far exceed any previous vaccine. The writer is unfortunately a dupe and not too bright despite his degrees.
Or perhaps because of his degrees…shoulda gone to state college! I came out with $0 debt.
Lisa, here's a great link to back up your factually true and unfortunately accurate comment about the "enormous number of reported side effects, including death..."
A compilation of over 700 peer-reviewed studies & scientific papers of COVID-19 mRNA "Vaccine" Harms:
https://zenodo.org/records/15787612
Thank you Kelly. Pretty shocking compilation. Our cowardly press has for the most part elected not to cover this information which is coming out from studies all over the world, including very recent stats from Israel about the danger of taking the Covid vaccine during pregnancy which was urged on young women.
You're being too kind by referring to them as "our cowardly press"...the horrific destruction & possibly irreparable division that the "mainstream" media has caused with their intentional lies of omission, manipulative propaganda & deceptions, and malicious ideological agenda is an absolute betrayal.
The censorship & criminalization of dissent from the "official" narrative, the suppression of successful preventative & early treatments with vitamins, natural therapies, & with off-patent repurposed drugs with decades of safe use in humans, the persecution of those warning of the predictable dangers of the mRNA shots, the urging, bribing, pressuring, intimidation, coercion, threatening and mandating of these gene "therapy" products by the "authorities" and the "mainstream" media's complicity with all of this was/is unforgivable.
The dangers of the modified mRNA-LNP gene "therapy" injections were predicted...This was/is an intentional immunological catastrophe...
That isn’t a peer reviewed study. That is from a book pushed by Sen Johnson and Naomi Wolf. Wow.
LadyLaz, here's that link again so you can take a closer look:
https://zenodo.org/records/15787612
That link is to a compilation of over 700 peer-reviewed studies/articles.
It is a 181 page document with hyperlinks to the individual peer-reviewed studies/articles.
These over 700 peer-reviewed studies/articles were analyzed & utilized in the book, "Toxic Shot: Facing the Dangers of the COVID "Vaccines"', written by Dr. Byram Bridle & Dr. Harvey Risch with contributions by Drs. Matt Bain, Steven Hatfill, Peter McCullough, Jane Orient, Jessica Rose, James Thorp, Kelly Victory, David Wiseman, Martin Wucher, and Naomi Wolf. The foreword is written by Senator Ron Johnson.
From the book:
"From 2021-2023, the United States alone suffered 600,000 unexplained excess deaths not associated with COVID-19, while official data reveals over two million Americans became newly disabled over the same period. These shocking figures are mirrored by similar trends from abroad, reflecting the global scale of the mRNA "vaccine" catastrophe.
Government officials and academic "experts" claim to be stumped by these "mysterious" trends, but the cause is plain to see, as shown in this book. In chapter after chapter, brave scientific dissidents present damning proof of the myriad risks posed by the "vaccines," drawing on abundant scientific research as they explain why the experimental shots are so dangerous.
This evidence includes research showing the mechanisms behind potentially fatal side effects such as myocarditis, blood clots, and paralysis, as well as critical harms to fertility and pregnancy, among other dangers."
LadyLaz, it's probably a good idea to read some of these over 700 peer-reviewed studies/articles, which are explained and discussed in the book "pushed by Sen Johnson and Naomi Wolf", before making any more comments.

“COVID-19 infection poses higher risk for myocarditis than vaccines. The overall risk of myocarditis – inflammation of the heart muscle – is substantially higher immediately after being infected with COVID-19 than it is in the weeks following vaccination for the coronavirus, a large new study in England shows”
Wow. How many? Is that the only source you have for that? Did they find five cases, from which they all recovered?
What a useless reply.
It was enough people for Pfizer to add it to their safety warnings. If they are scientifically competent for you to believe "the vaccines are 100% safe" then they are scientifically competent to update their warnings
So no data.
You trusted Pfizer this far, why stop now?
I used to be one of these snobby elitists. I didn’t go to any elite schools, but I grew up and still live in a homogenous, conservative place. Looking down my nose at the “normies” was how I used to rebel against them.
My God I used to be so boring. Hanging out with other elitists discussing our superior tastes in everything, shunning each other if anyone got too basic—way before cancel culture was a thing.
I was an alcoholic—probably the only way to deal with how insufferable I and my friends were.
I’ve had a long slow journey out of elitism, and the thing that finally broke me out of it was working in a cancer clinic for a few months. That made me quit caring whether patients wore MAGA hats or not, and quit looking down my nose at “normies.”
God bless you, Pillbox Hat. Very insightful and wise! "The unexamined life is not worth living." ~ Socrates
Oh look...nazi lover ^^^
interesting, i think my alcohol use(abuse) was quite integral to my snobby attitudes. Sobriety and testosterone treatment changed all that. I did flunk out of prestigious Washington Univ., the “Harvud” of the MIdwest!
They say cancer is the great equalizer. Welcome to normie world!
Wonderful post!
I've known a few people like Litt.
Living in their liberal "I have an Ivy League education" bubble.
BFD.
BIL sounds grounded, and may have a happier life than his sister's dickhead husband.
He’s also way more useful to his fellow man.
They absolutely are snobs about handbags and accessories! Especially the men who suddenly ideate a female persona after watching too much porn and not dealing with some childhood trauma or other. These men, and their Dalton/Ivy League allies, show just how important expensive designer shoes and handbags are because, you know, if you're a dude who likes to feel the feelz while crossdressing, the handbags and shoes make your hands and feet look smaller and "female." Sounds harsh? My Ivy educated ex husband (Columbia, Univ Chicago and NYU) did all of the above. While I was wearing my pregnancy clothes a year after our second child was born because "we were economizing." Mamdani is the gift that keeps on giving, because he's proving me right day after day.
Telling on yourself again, huh?
Sure, whatever. These elites tell children to cancel their mothers. Here's a video you might find elucidating
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLru0k7xksM
Why would I find it “elucidating”? Is there a transcript so I don’t have to sit and watch some idiot go on and on?
These are not idiots. Go back to your nap.
Do you agree with this known pedo?
Why would I believe you?
Right. Go back to your nap
What's so awful to me is that Litt and the comments you cited saying "hell no" to him are all talking about family. About hating family because of politics. Well, that's one way to die alone and lonely I suppose. That level of self-righteousness is tragic.
They deserve to be unvisited at the nursing home. Or first in line for assisted suicide.
Little Davey sounds like a first class douchebag. Which unfortunately, makes him typical of his ilk. These are truly odious people, whom I am happy to avoid as much as possible. Their assistance with that is quite appreciated.
Oh Jen. I think this is one of your absolute best works. We ARE the people who will help anyone out when they are in need of it and they will take that help without hesitation. When they no longer need that help they can't put enough distance between us. If they are again in need most of us will once again lend a hand and once again be shunned. Still, I'd rather be me than one of those sad people who think a degree is education as they go through their lives in ignorance, oblivious to what being human really means.
“We ARE the people who will help anyone out when they are in need of it and they will take that help without hesitation. “
Right, ask all the LGBTQ kids kicked out on the streets about that one. Sounds like people here are suffering their own kind of snobbery.
Its the Great Divorce. We are just co-habitating with marxist progressives because we have no better options currently. There is no common ground with those who want open borders, defunding police, or who see America as an ecomonic zone for radicalized third-worlders rather than as a sovereign country.
There is nothing Marxist about these people. They would be send for reeducation or worse in a heartbeat.
The NYT commentators are just so sure of themselves!
I'm waiting for them to deconstruct the future testimony of the 20 "gender doctors" who have been subpoenaed to testify about their fraudulent claims that their patients have changed sex through brutal genital surgeries! They'll find a way . . .
Luxury beliefs, snobbism, intellectual arrogance and disdain for the poor slobs who don’t see the world the same way espoused by Litt and his ilk is a big reason for the societal wedge has grown so huge. I hope his book fails miserably - thank you Jen for shining a hot, bright light on such disgusting traits.
If you ask a conservative why he or she supports their candidates, they can rattle off at least 2 or 3 real world, fact driven, TANGIBLE issues that affect large numbers of people.
If you ask the same of a liberal, you get an intangible, highly distant problem for which dispositive facts are few: climate change, “genocide,” or the catchall “If you don’t know, there’s nothing I can say to explain it.”
This last is pretty well captured by South Park’s 2006 episode “Smug Alert,” the most memorable plot line of which was liberals farting into empty wine glasses at parties so they could smell their own goodness. (That was 19 yrs ago, and the wine glasses have only gotten bigger.)
I was taken by the recent explanation by Batya Ungar-Sargon as to how she switched from liberal to conservative. She read a study of speech patterns when addressing racial minorities. It seemed that Liberals reduce the “education level” of their speech by 4 grade levels when speaking to minorities vs. others, and that Conservatives do not change their speech patterns at all.
She said it hit her like a lightning bolt that Liberals are the condescending racists, and Conservatives treat people equally.
Have you heard of the phrase "soft bigotry of low expectations"?
Absolutely. Made famous by Bush 43. But it’s one of those phrases that “describes OTHER people; certainly not ME…” Until you get slapped with reality like a wet fish in the face.
