I am still mourning the loss of most of my friends who turned out to be hateful authoritarians. Also, I now have to question everything I have ever learned. While this is generally a good thing, it is exhausting. When I read how much other people have lost I realize that I have been relatively lucky and, with the help of a like minded husband, will just keep moving forward.

Very troubling times. And all of those responses reflect the insanity of it all. However, because of the clarity this strange and evil veil brought, I was able to realize my true purpose as a father and husband. The frailty of our society invoked a desire to strengthen my family in ways I’d previously forsaken.

Them: Never Apologise. Never Explain.

Us: Never Forgive. Never Forget.

It’s all painful. And yet, when I see the expression “never again”, it tears my heart asunder because yes - it WILL happen again until something fundamental changes in how we live in this world. I don’t have the answers. A good start, however, is the recognition that corrupt (and often not-corrupt, unknowingly) people & governments, use fear & othering to take eyes off of them, and have people engaged in fighting one another. That needs to be stopped. It’s been happening since the dawn of humanity and we’ve more than paid the price in endless wars, & needless deaths.

I will admit, I fell for the need to isolate for a few months. Then I realized we were killing our local restaurants. Then my family got COVID and none of us had severe illness and disease. And I saw the harm to my kids and others caused by the isolation. We pulled together as a family of four, did lots outside, read books together, watched historical movies. I found solace in my faith and the Bible. I knew the vaccine was not right for us - God gave clear direction about natural immunity. So I also knew I would be terminated. While my former company did not officially announce until November 15, 2021(long after we all knew about "breakthrough infections"), I told my family it was coming in July 2021, when vaccines were said to be necessary for the return to office pilot. I did apply for both medical and religious exemption - they were both denied. My termination became official in May 2022. I am semi-employed. We have health insurance through my husband. God has given clear direction to me throughout and He will continue to provide. He also had made me to live far below our means for many years before this. At some point, our standard of living might change. I have been transformed. My faith is much stronger. My identity is no longer tied to my professional title or career. I worry most for my children and what path they have. I worry about the college choice they will have since the rest of my household still evaluates colleges on the traditional standards. I look forward to continued transformation, and I seek God's plan. But my eyes have been opened to the fact that the more "we" mess with nature, the more God signals He is in control. I am lucky in that my parents saw this clearly from the beginning, and most of our family has tolerated us. So we have never experienced the complete isolation some have. As to my career, God's will be done. Pray for justice for all of us negatively impacted.

Those who still have not opened their eyes believe all our sad stories were necessary to "stop" covid. I will never understand people, especially those whom I previously thought were thinking individuals. As always Michael P Senger, thank you for what you do.

So much suffering. I don't think it was an unforeseen side-effect of the idiocy. I believe it was an integral part of the plan to terrorize, demoralize and estrange us from each other, so we'd be easier to control and kill. It's unlikely that the plandemic was used just to get rid of Trump - rather, it's another step on the decades-old path to the dystopian future they have planned for us if we don't stand up and rid the world of these parasites. We're running out of time.

I read most everything in this space. This is about as penetrating and moving an impact statement as I have seen. Hope you can get someone like Brownstone to republish this. It merits the wider exposure.

Frankly, even though there was nothing here I did not already know in general, reading this set of specifics in so many voices still leaves me shaken. That's impact.

Thank you for compiling this, Michael, and thank you for your book. These are troubling times but since I'm on the older side of things, what bothered me most as I replied in the tweet you quoted was how the children were treated.

There's a special place in Hell for Fauci.

There were also direct effects on me, too: in a 12 month period between 2020 and 2021, 11 people I knew died (friends and family -- 2 elderly people from Covid, the rest from other things), my business failed, and my beloved dog of 17 1/2 years had to be put down "The Covid Way" (horrifyingly alone on a steel table with a terrified, masked veterinarian who made me stand 6 feet back). That image has seared itself into my brain. My response to all of this despair was to eat and drink too much and now I must suffer the consequences (and lose weight, bleh) of living under lockdown.

I still have friends who are STILL to this day afraid to come out of their house and so have everything delivered to them (the Laptop Class, you know) and will only socialize in their backyard in masks. I've lost my patience with them but I do see how they, too, were ripe to be terrified and have suffered.

A very large book needs to be published with all these stories.

Wow. This is all so sad. We’ve all been traumatized by the Covid reaction. It’s mind-blowing to me that now no one wants to discuss it or admit what was done. I’ll never forget it and so grateful I never went along.

Very compelling and tragic stories, Michael. You should put these in a book.

My anger was over being told I’d have to delay my knee replacement because it was considered “elective surgery.” Meanwhile, I couldn’t walk without severe pain. I finally had it done a year later, thankfully with very minimal disruptions at the hospital (had to wear a mask everywhere except in the operating room, etc.)

I also lost my job. Our division was just abruptly shut down with pretty much no warning. It was vaguely attributed to Covid, then we learned much later that it was used as an excuse over severe long-standing financial problems, with a heavy dose of internal politics thrown in. I did eventually find another FT remote job, which solved the issue of being vaxxed. Had no intention of doing so and while I was looking, I made sure that the places I applied did not require it.

My husband and I had minor disagreements over the vax. He took it, despite me not wanting him to, so going forward, that’s going to be a worry. He respected my decision not to. The rest of our families did not make a big deal out of it one way or another, which was a relief.

But what really annoyed me was that one of my husband’s friends would not allow him to visit because *I* wasn’t vaxxed. I could see how it hurt, but at the same time, I was very resentful of the friends for putting that condition on him. I was not close to the friends, so I didn’t care if I ever saw them again, but my husband was very affected by it.

I still can’t get over how so many people just fell hook, line and sinker for all of the authoritarianism and fearmongering. It’s being swept under the rug, but it has certainly eroded what little trust I had in doctors and other health professionals.

Thank you for this, Michael. All of the stories so heartbreaking & powerful, & I know those of us here have stories too. I was traumatized beyond belief by these past 3 years & will never be the same as I was up to 2020, but I see it as a good thing (in a way) because my eyes & mind are fully wide open now. It can be lonely amongst the still-true-believers, but it is comforting here.

Michael this is very important work. Exactly like the Holocaust interviews or the https://www.ushmm.org/online/world-memory-project/

Since I was a kid I always wondered HOW the Holocaust could happen. How could people just line up to get on the train cars? Wouldn't it be better to die in a hail of gunfire than walk to a prison camp and be worked to death? How could the non-arrested stand by and allow it? How could the German Citizens, politicians, business men and academics allow Hitler to run his Brown Shirts all over the cities and seize power? I always had my theories and many of them were psychology & brain washing based, but now I actually know first hand what the later stages of fascist takeovers looks like. It's so banal to watch evil take over reality. The scam is so powerful and well practiced over the millennia, that it fools MOST folks. The play Book is Mein Kampf.

It's the old "frog in the pot" meets the Hegelian Dialect wrapped up in a tortilla of "Divide and Conquer". Oh yea, and don't forget how they always get the victims to pay $$$ for the privilege of marching to the front lines to "Serve their Country" in the name of freedom. Welcome to WWIII USA. Your goose is cooked.

THANK YOU !!!! Never Forget.

Thank you. Read everyone. Experienced all of it in some way. And still no acknowledgement from those who went along with these things that they were wrong.
