Et tu, Brute?

What a week.  It started with a trip to Palm Beach to meet with Florida Surgeon General Joe Ladapo and Governor Ron DeSantis (big success), then a quick turnaround to testify with the Tennessee state legislature regarding COVID legislation (partial success), then addressing questions regarding the Ukraine Biolab situation with Glen Beck, then a meeting with opinion leader Dr. David Martin, and finishing up with dinner with heroic local physician (and cattle rancher) Dr. Brooke Miller and his wife Ann, who works as a Nurse Practitioner. Next week it is off to my childhood home Santa Barbara for another rally – Stand UP Santa Barbara.  All supporting the mission of stopping mandated SARS-CoV-2 genetic vaccination of our children.

I am exhausted. Which is why Jill and I took a day off from writing a substack article yesterday.

Well, I suppose that it is a win that the HHS bureaucrat's and their many paid enablers are not just backslapping and giving each other medals over how well they have managed COVID-19.  At least not yet.

But we do have a modicum of chatty condescending acknowledgment of mistakes made by Drs. Rochelle Walensky (Director, CDC) and  Paul Offit (notoriously smug co-inventor of a rotavirus vaccine, Maurice R. Hilleman Professor of Vaccinology, Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Pennsylvania. Former member of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices).

An excellent commentary summarizing the stunning self-owning admissions of incompetence and culpability for massive unnecessary loss of life has been provided by Thomas Harrington writing for the Brownstone Institute, entitled "Drs. Walensky and Offit: It's All in Good Fun".  Personally, I can hardly bear to watch their breezy smugness as they casually chat with friends.  I am reminded of the famous Hannah Arendt phrase "the banality of evil".  Mr. Harrington points to a series of clips of the Walensky interview compiled by Phil Kerpen (unfortunately on Twitter), and another excellent thread by Alexandros Marinos focusing on the self-amused Dr. Offit.  Quoting from Alex-

"How was the decision made to ignore immunity from prior infection?

In this clip, Paul Offit describes how he and another person advised in favor of accepting natural immunity, while two others voted against it.  A thread on why that was possibly the worst decision of the pandemic:"
