This is a hard road for me. Primarily because I used to teach how vaccines work. If you dig back in my post history to when the mrna jabs came out, I mentioned backing anyone's choice to get or not get the vaccine, that I was going to get it because I knew how to take my vital measurements, and if something went wrong, I'd just file a claim under the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.

A couple of kind anons dragged me to the woodshed and helped point me at the fine print that said it wasn't covered. (It was covered under a separate program for countermeasures, not vaccines. Which on its face tells you and me everything we needed to know.)

After my initial shock, followed by anger, I changed my stance to "I'll get the jab when it moves to the VICP program."

Well, it was around this time that I lost a large group of my "friends" because they thought this meant I was anti vaccine. Even "friends" that asked me for advice when this all initially kicked off because of my background in pandemic preparedness.

Cue me learning the phrase "mass formation psychosis."

And of course the only place I could even have a rational fucking conversation on it was the dark corners of the web being here or the chans.

Until two things happened.

1. Substack held the line

2. Elon bought twitter.

Now things have finally come to a head, because we've reached a point where the actual anti-vax crowd is showing up to be heard and wants a real debate on everything. Autism, vaccine injuries, SIDS, the whole 9 yards.

And the doctors are running away from the discussion as fast as possible.

Well not all of them.

I just listened to Mario Nawfal's hosted twitter space where several doctors laid out compelling cases for the malfeasance by the medical industry (and even the opposing pro-vaccine voices on it couldn't defend 90% of the decisions made during the pandemic) followed by RFK's tweets, Rogan's tweets, Steve Kirsch's substack, Greenwald's commentary, and yes, Elon chiming in and flat out saying these people know they can't win a debate because they don't have the facts behind them.

What I learned from all this?

1. No modern vaccine has any public documentation of double-blind testing for safety.
2. No modern vaccine is TESTED FOR SAFETY, ONLY EFFICACY. Since the VICP provided a liability shield, they don't care.
3. If anyone cites the Salk study, tell them the current polio vaccine is not the one that was in the Salk study and thus that study is non-relevant, but take the time to ask them to cite the specific parts of it that cover safety in the context of vaccine injuries because the only safety part is a couple of pages of embarrassingly sparse information.
4. The Amish don't have autism.
5. Autism rates are skyrocketing and not only do we "not know why" but we're invested in not researching it.
6. Japan doesn't have a SIDS problem. They also don't have an infant vaccination schedule.
7. I don't think I can trust western medicine anymore. Something is fundamentally broken and I don't know the right way of fixing it. But I'm coming around to Nuremberg being part of the solution. I really want to hear some of these fuckers say "I was only following orders" on the stand.

Anyhow, that's my rant of the day, and a thanks to the anons that saved me from getting jabbed.

Oh, as a bonus, when I told my primary physician I wasn't jabbed and why, he too thought it was covered by the VICP. He too was stunned.

One parting shot. The VAERS database is bigger than ever yet the compensation program to date has paid out less than 10 cases in the US for COVID.

S Korea has paid out 10s of thousands of claims.

Nuremberg.

And when you tell that to a neoliberal their brain segfaults.

Ukraine Color Revolution -> BLM

Brazil political arrests -> Trump indictments

Now this might seem like a totally off the wall post, but fuck it, I'm gonna post it anyways.

In a world full of vaccinated blood that kills people (no shit, here is just one story: https://expose-news.com/2023/01/02/baby-in-usa-dies-after-receiving-blood-transfusion/ ) One thing you can do to save other unvaccinated people going in for procedures is to make sure they are getting your blood instead of tainted blood.

If that isn't enough of a reason to get to the blood bank, let me give you one more reason: In a world of PFAS forever chemicals, microplastics, and contaminated water supplies, your blood gets clogged up with this shit over time. If you give blood, your body has to manufacture new plasma, blood cells, etc. When your body does this, it is creating a more pure supply in your own body than what you started with before you gave blood.

These things are filtered out of your donation before being given to patients. This has been directly observed in scientific studies of firefighters: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2790905

So. Help your neighbor. Help yourself. As a lapsed Catholic who is slowly coming around again to God I might even mention that there are some teachings that mention "love they neighbor," and that giving your blood so that others might live is about one of the most selfless acts you can do, if the enlightened self interest of getting cleaner blood isn't enough for you.

I leave you with one final thought on faith and self passed on to me from someone who was far smarter than I am:

"Pray as if all depends on God. Work as if all depends on you."

This is Housework Weekend. Mow the lawn, do laundry, and exercise. I picked up a full weight set on FB Marketplace a while back, putting it to use instead of at the gym. Sure the gym gives me more options, but not this month.

You don't really realize just how much stupid shit you are signed up for until you try to cancel it all.

Only about $12 but still. I was hoping to have no subscription costs this month. Derp.

Well, at least I'm getting my budget SUPER dialed in as a result of this.

I have zero active subscriptions, digital or otherwise going into June. Not eating out at all either. With three freezers full of meat, bread to last the month, and milk restocked ahead of time, the only likely out of pocket expense for me in these 30 days will be fuel. I prepaid any bills for utilities and whatnot, so my transactions for this month should literally be zero.

This will be a fascinating experiment on just what I can in fact live without regardless.

What is Buy Nothing June?

Well, since June is a month that is irrevocably compromised, and the US economic system measures success by one thing (money) the goal is simple, to stop all money in motion on that month.

Other than your required monthly payments, make no transactions.

Not to friendly, neutral, or hostile businesses.

Just... don't spend money.

Stock up your fridge and pantry, fill up your gas tanks, make whatever durable goods purchases you need this month.

It's not a boycott. It's simply a quiet walk away from the Pride Economic Engine.

You don't even need to talk about it in tracked social media. Enough of us slowly pass this along word of mouth to just... not spend money and it is hard to be accused of whatever thought crime they try to come up with.

You could even if you wanted to be public about it, just call it a preparedness exercise for disasters, testing if you can survive economically on your own for one month.

When it's done you can celebrate by buying all the shit you need to normalize your lifestyle again in the first 4 days of July.

In celebration of a kind of pride that has been demonized for far too long.
