I’m working on a multi-part series on what I now call the “Covid/Vax Disaster,” and since it’s taking a bit longer to get the parts ready than I expected, I’ll give you today a list of the key dissidents I’m getting my info and inspiration from.
Something of a little community of investigators and commenters, all trying to get to the true facts about the vax-harms, and to wrestle with the implications of them, has emerged on a set of substacks. Most of their “networking” is prompted by the top writers discussing one another’s work, and by entirely organic conversation emerging in comment sections, but of course, one sees various writers of vax-harm-focused substacks—I think I’ve come across thirty or so—commenting as a way of also sending some traffic their way. I’ve done that myself, seeking to stir interest in my Part 1 of this series, “Flock of Dark, Bowl of White,” as I comment on the posts of others.
Before getting to the list, however, allow me to explain why I’m using the term “The Covid/Vax Disaster” to label the proper object of the broader conversation. It is a conversation which seeks to a.) grasp where we are in the process of the disaster, and b.) begin the moral/legal/political/cultural reckoning with the sins and errors which caused it. I choose the label because I believe it is fundamental error to say, “Covid is basically over,” or to delink Covid harms from “vax” harms.
Why? Well, first of all, even as mandate-despotism slowly slinks away in most places, the biological aspects of the disaster continue. Many people are still being harmed or killed by the virus variants, the vaxxes, and increasingly now by a combination of the two, as concerns rise that the vaxxes have damaged immune-system response. These concerns are driven by recent data, which also suggest that the hoped-for collapse of spread after Omicron might not materialize.
Second, we are near-certain the virus was engineered (regardless of whether its release was accidental—my view—or, was part of some Grand Conspiracy’s plan), and that particular conspiracies within Big Pharma, extending into all the major medical organizations and agencies via the phenomenon of “regulatory-capture,” arranged 1) the sidelining and then banning of early-treatment options such as Ivermectin, 2) the corrupting of the vax-trials, and 3) the covering-up of the dramatically high numbers of vax-harms. There really is a group of some 60-600 top guys and gals who did engineer each of those three very costly aspects of the disaster, and a select clique of that group were surely also responsible, even if only by negligence in oversight, for the virus itself.
Now onto the list:
1.) Steve Kirsch. His is the big daddy of the vax-harm substacks. Kirsch has provided the best summarization of vax-harm, “Incriminating Evidence,” and he helped publicize/develop the key Richard Hirschman story (broken by Dr. Jane Ruby). He posts very regularly, and for those who remember the early days of the “blogosphere,” his site often functions as Glenn Reynolds’ Instapundit did, as a kind of central station.
Kirsch describes his journey to vax-harm investigator mid-way in this post (and in his “about” section), and describes himself as a “high tech serial entrepreneur before retiring at age 64.” He’s rich—he’s able to employ some kind of “team,” which consists of at least one full-time assistant, and to regularly bait Narrative-defenders into a public debate, offering up to a million of his own cash. (It says plenty that he never gets any takers!)
2.) Igor Chudov. Seems often to be on the cutting edge, and particularly on two issues. First, the current up-spike of Covid cases and how it might point to reinfection becoming common (my “recent data” link above is to Chudov on this). Second, the genetic sequences of the virus itself—he’s amplified and advanced key stories in that area, which clearly show that whoever concocted the abomination got key information from Moderna.
3.) Maria Romana. She posts less often than the others here, but is very helpful on understanding issues with all-cause mortality data sets.
4.) Who Is Robert Malone? Everyone already knows, right? Still, even though Dr. Malone’s public and podcast appearances have been more important in spreading what he knows, his writing has some powerful moments. Consider these bits from his recent “How Does It Feel to Be Vindicated?” essay:
How does it feel? Demoralizing and depressing. I experience absolutely no pleasure whatsoever in seeing my worst fears come to pass, and in having accurately predicted so many things... Jill and I have put everything on the line. Parked our lives, our farm, our family, in a sustained effort to try to save lives… We have experienced extraordinary efforts to delegitimize us, to re-write history, to deny us credit for intellectual and technical contributions, to slander and defame.
…The biomedical world that I thought I was living in has been revealed to be a sham. The legitimacy of the industry and discipline that I have committed my entire professional life to is in shambles. I am now embarrassed to call myself a vaccines and biodefense expert, because the fundamental corruption inherent in those domains has been so clearly revealed. I cannot unsee what I have seen. I cannot recapture all of those years spent in a profoundly corrupt academic system, spent supporting a deeply compromised discipline which appears primarily driven by financial interests rather than by what I had naively believed was a commitment to saving lives.
5.) Alex Berenson The other big-one, after Kirsch. Razor-sharp prose, but on Covid-issues, he often takes what could be called “moderate” stances. For example, he is the only one in this list who continues to think Ivermectin has few benefits against Covid-19. He comes from a MSM science-reporting background. He has a fairly new book, Pandemia—and here is a review of it by Eugyppius, who I discuss next.
6.) Eugypiuss. This German writer has a way of remaining open to and dialoguing with the wilder conspiracy theories out there, while not losing sight of the overall picture. One example of this wilder side is that he thinks Omicron may have been engineered. Overall, he’s penned some very fine posts, and he’s also good for American readers wanting a European perspective.
7.) Margaret Anna Alice. One of the less-known of the Covid/Vax Disaster writers, but one of the most profound on the moral/political implications. She meditates a great deal on the similarities of our present experience with that of the descent of totalitarianism in Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia, and does so in a way that is far more thought-provoking than polemical. She loads nearly every piece with link after link. To simply explore all of the links of one of her essays provides is an education. My favorite of the ones I’ve read in full is “Letter to a Colluder.”
You don’t have to be any of those abominable scoundrels to be an enabler of tyranny.
You simply need to hold your tongue. You simply need to look the other way. You simply need to turn a deaf ear. You simply need to stifle your gut feeling that something is profoundly, irrevocably wrong about every venomous lie, absurd policy, and malignant mandate that has bombarded the public since spring 2020.
You simply need to live in fear. You simply need to cling to your ignorance. You simply need to follow the leader. You simply need to surrender to cowardice.
Oh, and that reminds me of the dynamite recent essay on despotism-enabling cowardice by Naomi Wolf, who now has a substack also! Maybe count her as 8.)
Cutting-edge vax-harm reporting/commentary is now happening more on substacks than podcasts, I think, likely because the need to carefully document the data/science-centered arguments has grown. But I must give due honor to the outlet that first really got me thinking the vaxxes might be harmful, and which remains essential viewing, Bret Weinstein’s and Heather Heyden’s Darkhorse Podcast.
It goes without saying that I do not agree with all that these various thinkers argue for or link to. It is a chaotic and rapidly-changing conservation, despite the agreement of all of these writers that the “vaxxes” were a massive failure, and will likely wind-up delivering—if they haven’t already—more harm than they prevented.
We should thank all of these dissidents for their tireless, and in most cases unpaid, work on this—I encourage you to check each of them out, and as I say about our PostModernConservative substack also, to subscribe if you like what you see!
Thank you for mentioning me among all the heaviest of the heavy hitters, Carl Eric! I feel we must all band together and keep backing each other. The truth is getting out there, no matter how hard they try to stop it. Only 29% of the US population took jab #3, and I think only around 18% of parents have poisoned, er, vaccinated their kids, so there is hope!
2.) Igor Chudov.
I dissent re Igor. I ignored Igor after:
1. His over-hyped and premature analysis of omibud.
2. His "questioning" of ivermectin by invoking an obscure "study".
It became tedious to constantly refute and disagree with him,
