My apologies in advance for the dark tone of todays blog. Never one to shy away from reality, Bagholder believes the following is the road ahead our overlords have paved for us all. Enter at your own risk. 

    - First and foremost, understand “Covid” is never going away ….

    Gman, the media, and big pharma, aka the “Triumvirate” all gain the longer this drags on.  Big Pharma makes bank peddling vaccines (which do not work and are little more than therapeutics) They, in turn, pay the media to scream fear 24/7. The frightened herd then clamors for Gman  to respond. Gman obliges with new laws & mandates which are supposed to help, but in typical government fashion,  only make things worse. When you consider the 3 entities involved (Gman, Media, Pharma) there is really no reason for them to ever shut off the gravy train. What this means is ….

    - You will have less & less freedom going forward …

        

          With the Triumvirate standing to gain,  who do you suppose is losing?  Yep, You and Me.  The more Gman grows, the less freedom we have. The more laws they pass, the tougher our lives become.  The more we (are forced to) ingest big pharma concoctions, the sicker we are going to get. Media will continue to do the bidding of their two biggest clients, namely Gman and big pharma.  They will lay out  what is expected of you as we enter the “new normal”.  Part of that new normal will include the fact that…..

    - Covid shots will be “needed” on a regular basis for the rest of your life …

                  Big Pharma has no interest in providing an actual cure for Covid. Its not in their business model.  They prefer the “Subscription Model” where customers will be required to take their product  on a regular basis, for life.  This provides big pharma with a recurring revenue stream, aka the Holy Grail of the business world. Of course they will divert a portion of the revenue stream to the political campaigns of the politicians willing to force joe sixpack into rolling up his sleeve. Another portion will go to the Media for ramping up the hysteria enough, to make Joe sixpack believe getting the jab is in his interests. What Joe doesn’t realize is…

     -The Vaxxed will continue to spread Covid at a much greater rate than the unvaxxed. 

                      These “vaccines” are therapeutics at best, meaning they are designed to treat symptoms, not the cause. When you have a back ache, taking an opiate (a therapeutic) makes the back feel better, but does nothing to address the underlying issue.  When your body has an ache, that pain is a signal something is wrong. Suppressing those signals with therapeutics handicaps your immune response.  Its the equivalent of disabling all the fire alarms in a skyscraper. The Covid Jabs do suppress symptoms, allowing the Vaxxed to go on with their lives as though nothing is wrong;  spreading the disease everywhere they go. Contrast this with the unvaxxed, who will experience symptoms earlier in the infection cycle, giving their immune system a head start. All of which explains why ….

   -The Vaxxed will be dying from Covid  at a much greater rate than the unvaxxed. 

                We are already seeing this in the UK (link here) and will be seeing it in the US soon.   Suppressing the symptoms allows the virus in the early stages to progress unimpeded. Compounding the problem is the fact that mRna vaccines are taking over portions of your immune system and instructing it to produce antibodies specific to the original virus.  In other words,  a percentage of your immune system is distracted fighting last years virus. So not only are the “fire alarms” in your body suppressed, half the firemen won’t be available to respond, because they are off fighting last years fire. This is why getting Vaxxed increases your chances of death from Covid.  Not to worry though, …..

   - The “Unvaxxed” will be blamed for all the misery… 

                   As Joe sixpack continues to feel his normal life slipping away, he will need an enemy.  The triumvirate will gladly provide Joe a villain by foisting blame for all the misery on to the Unvaxxed.  Providing a scapegoat for the vaxxed to direct their frustration, while simultaneously making the lives of the unvaxxed harder by having to deal with the derision of the vaxxed; is a win-win for the triumvirate. There is not a shred of logic in blaming the unvaxxed for the failure of the vaccine, but that is exactly what the triumvirate would have us believe. Classic misdirection. Joe’s pain is a result of the 24/7 fear porn on tv, lockdowns, mandates, experimental gene therapy, and business closures - all of which were instituted and fomented by the triumvirate. Their ultimate goal is to use Joe sixpack tp help increase pressure on the unvaxxed, with the hopes of goosing the vaccination rates higher, which in turn will make it easier to institute…

   - Vaccination passports for All

             I’m not talking paper passports, i’m talking under the skin computer chip - internet connected passports. They will be sold to the masses as the path out of the Covid dystopian hell in which we currently reside.  No need to worry, it will only be your medical records. Get your chip & go back to your normal life … I can hear it now.  The downside is the unprecedented amount of power Gman will have going forward. While it might start with just medical records, it won’t be long before you are tracked 24/7. They will know everything, where you went, who you were with, and how many times you had sex last month. The day will come when you eat too many fat grams, Your health chip will notify the authorities, and you will be fined. Keep it up, and the health police will be dispatched to seize your cheetoh’s, and lock you up. While this may seem insane, believe me, its not that far off.  This is precisely why…..

   - The proliferation of the police state will continue in earnest…

            As the screws get tightened on middle America, you can expect a full dose of military style intervention directed at anyone who dares wander from the scripted path. The road forward will be paved on the nightly news with example after example illustrating the sad fate of those who resist assimilation.  Ever wonder why the  average police department is more heavily armed than the standing armies of most countries?  They know what’s coming. 

  -  The judiciary will be no help…

       Planning a lawsuit because you lost your corporate job for refusing the jab?  Or maybe you are one of the tens of thousands suffering adverse reactions from the vaccines, and you are thinking a lawsuit just might be the answer. Simply put, none of these cases will ever see the light of day in a courtroom.  Those black robe wearing tools of the state were bought and paid for by the “Triumvirate”, long before you ever walked into their world. You didn’t actually think you could go into a courtroom and get anything resembling justice, did you?

• Big tech will continue to assist in the censorship of anyone who dares to speak out against the prevailing Covid narrative. 

          Big tech stands to get a huge payday from this Covid narrative.  It will be their chips injected in all of us.  Of course, we only get to that stage if the Triumvirate can keep the narrative going of a Covid boogeyman. This explains the incessant campaign to suppress the success of Ivermectin - a drug which cost pennies. According to Johns Hopkins, people NOT treated with Ivermectin are dying at 18x the rate of those treated with Ivermectin. This graph with a sample size of an entire continent says it all….

 Ivermectin will never be allowed here.  Covid would go away, the media would have no vehicle to instill fear, there would be no need for big pharma concoctions, and Gman would have no valid reasons for lockdowns & mandates. The triumvirate would fall.  Ivermectin is the stone in David’s sling, which could take down the Goliath triumvirate. Want to have some real fun? Ask anyone who continually refers to Ivermectin as “Horsepaste or animal dewormer” to explain the graph above.  

   While Bagholder believes this blog lays out the likely path forward for us all.  It is by no means, guaranteed. The triumvirate is the quintessential  paper tiger. They need our willing participation.  Without it, they are powerless.  This means not succumbing to the 24/7 fear perpetuated by the media. It requires delving into the science & math and realizing the Jab will only make things worse. Realize government only has the power we give them - rejecting their mandates is the first step in checking that power.  Provided enough of us stand up and say I WILL NOT COMPLY, their entire narrative crumbles, and the triumvirate will be slain. 

Patriotic Duty

   Here we are, nearly 2 1/2 centuries after the American Revolution - and we haven’t learned a damn thing about freedom.  Most people would tell you the revolutionary war was fought between England and the Colonists. While true in a sense, it would be more accurate to say the war was fought between England and a minority of the colonists. The distinction is an important one.  On one side was England, a fading empire, up to their eyeballs in debt, but an empire none the less.  Just like every fallen empire before them from the Sumerians through the Romans, they tried to keep their crumbling empire together by increasing taxation and sharply curtailing the freedom of their subjects. 

   Within the 13 colonies, the citizenry was sharply divided into 2 distinct groups. The first group had those citizens loyal to the English Crown, known as Tories. Their motto was “God, Queen, Country”. Notice how the Individual is nowhere to be found in their pecking order. The Tories did what they were told, as they felt their needs were secondary to needs of the Crown. If the Crown had said, roll up your sleeve and take this experimental Jab, because it will keep you safe - they would have done it without a thought. They valued safety above all else, even freedom. They believed with all their hearts, the Crown, who had the biggest standing army (and navy) at the time, would keep them safe. So without complaint,  they rationalized away control over their own life, and blindly accepted the Crown’s Intolerable acts and onerous taxation. 

   The second Group in the 13 colonies was known as the Patriots. Today the word “Patriots”  has a very positive connotation.  Back then however, “Patriots” were widely considered troublemakers, rabble rousers, and criminals.  The Patriots valued Freedom above all else. Had the British crown said, roll up your sleeve and take this experimental Jab, because it will keep you safe - they would have said you can shove that Jab up the King’s ass. Oh, and bring me that smarmy court jester Fauci, so we can have him drawn & quartered.  The Patriots were a rugged, self-reliant bunch. As the Crown tightened the screws on its subjects with new laws and new taxes, it was the Patriots who stood up to the evil empire, and said WE WILL NOT COMPLY.  The Crown branded them rebellious traitors.  

     WE WILL NOT COMPLY was complete heresy to the Tories. In fact, the Tories were terrified of what the Crown might do to ALL of the colonists because of the behavior of a few belligerent Patriots. The Tories felt the Patriots were jeopardizing their safety and their future. So the Torries lashed out, burning businesses & homes belonging to the Patriots. They did anything they could to undermine the Patriots in their struggle against the Crown. The Tories willingly traded away their freedom, to live under the authoritarian rule of the Crown, in the hopes they would be safe. Some people just want to be ruled. 

   The patriots looked at the situation in a more rational manner. They decided it was pure lunacy to continue to give huge chunks of their income to some guy sitting in a fancy chair thousands of miles away. In fact, why listen to this guy at all?  He takes our money, passes ever more intrusive laws, and strips us of our freedom a piece at a time (much like the federal government does today). There just comes a point where enough is enough. Only WE can keep us safe thought the Patriots, provided we have the freedom to do it. Unlike the Tories, the Patriots believed the needs of the individual were more important than the needs of the Crown. They correctly judged freedom was worth fighting for.  And so the revolution began….

  The parallels to today are striking. Once again, an oppressive fading empire has divided the country into 2 camps.  Lets call the first group the Vaxxed. They believe the needs of the state are more important than the needs of the individual, just like the Tories. They are obedient subjects, who willingly took the Jab without a thought, because they were told it was safe, and it was for the greater good. They believe its ok for the state to force compliance of their views on those who resist. They have traded away their personal sovereignty by locking down, wearing masks, and rolling up their sleeves; all for the promise of safety and a return to a normal life. 

    In the other Camp are the Unvaxxed, widely considered troublemakers bordering on domestic terrorists, much like the Patriots. They believe the needs of individual outweigh the needs of the state. The unvaxxed have looked at the Science & Math behind the vaccines, and rationally decided to refuse the jab. Above all else, they believe in freedom. One of those freedoms, is the choice to decide what goes in your body is your choice to make, not the state’s. The unvaxxed are indeed, the modern day version of Patriots. 

   There are really only 2 ways you can go thru life.  Like a sheep…. With your head down, doing what you are told without a thought, safely ensconced in the middle of the herd, praying that the wolves never come a calling, and rationalizing the gradual loss of freedom by telling yourself its for the greater good.  Or you can go through life like a wolf…With your head high, alert, self reliant, free spirited, and blazing your own trail.  Life provides choices.  You can rationalize behavior or behave rationally. Do what you are told or think for yourself. Tory or Patriot, state or individual, sheep or wolf, safety or freedom, Jab or no jab. 

Bagholder has made his choices….Enough is enough …. The State can mandate the Jab all they want,  I WILL NOT COMPLY.

Dinner Time

 

   Who doesn’t like a buffet?  Double helping of this, pass on that, give me 3 of those, and lets not forget dessert, uh better make that two.  Buffets appeal to almost everyone, because they present a plethora of choice, which grants the power to choose, and you don’t even have to live with the consequences of those choices. Don’t like the way the chicken tastes, don’t eat it - and just go get another plate. There is very little on earth more soothing to the Psyche (ego) than consequence free, exercise of power.  

  Much like the buffet, social media delivers the very same “consequence free exercise of power”.  Twitter, Facebook, Youtube, Instagram; they are all the same. The social media delivery mechanism you choose, hardly matters any more than which buffet you go to.  They all offer platforms where you are presented with choices of who to like, friend, or follow.  All the while algorithms work in the background to find you more of what you like, without having to sift through dissenting opinions. All social media platforms offer a “We thought you might like (insert video, celebrity, news story, etc…)”  -  always cooked just the way you like it. 

    Somebody from across the political aisle hitting you with too many uncomfortable truths?  Just click unfollow, and you can go right back to the psychological and emotional safety offered by the fellow members of your chosen tribe. You never have to undertake the difficult task of questioning the validity of your own beliefs when you surround yourself with the like minded. On the flip side, ever felt the sting of disenfranchisement by getting Unfriended?  That is the pain of imaginary, yet powerful, psychological walls going up. Them on one side of the wall, you on the other. 

   This is the curse of social media, when you get right down to it - they are instruments of division.  The perfect tools for the ruling class “to gift” the plebes.  A Pandora’s box of divide, conquer and rule. Brick by brick, those walls are going up - one unfriend at a time.  As usual, the plebes are the ones doing all the work laying the bricks. Their pay?  A hit of dopamine and a small taste of power every time they hit the like button, share that, or downvote this. While the plebes are quick to appreciate the erected barriers keep out the unwashed, non-believers….. they do not recognize the walls they erect are every bit as confining as a prison cell.

    Once corralled into smaller like minded herds, the masses become pliable, and thus more easily controlled. How does the ruling class control them, you ask? Simple, take whatever the news story of the day is, intensely narrow the focus and ramp up the emotional hysteria.  Consider the George Floyd/Derek Chauvin debacle.  The media was quick to push the narrowly focused “White cop, Black victim”  racism hot button.  Suddenly, everyone was on one side or the other. The real issue (the proliferation of the police state) was never addressed. 

   Its no different with Covid.  While Bagholder is certain 90% of people could tell you, with authority, covid has killed “600,000” people.  How many of those people could tell you, at a molecular level, exactly what Covid does to your body. My bet is none as the real issue will never be addressed. Dozens of stories are available about the merit of the vaccines, but I struggle to find any story about how Zinc, Magnesium, vitamins C & D will help prevent infection by strengthening your cell walls and supercharging your immune system.  Social media companies have managed to Narrow the Focus down to ….. Vax or Anti-vax, all the while ramping up the hysteria with 600,000 dead, ad nauseam. These are all just more bricks for peoples self built prisons. Oh, you’re Anti-vax?  Better flex my muscle and unfollow you. 

  The powerful feeling you get picking and choosing on social media, just like picking and choosing at the buffet is ALL FAKE. The feeling is real, the choice is not. The "choices" were made by our rulers, long before they were presented to us as "choices”.  The buffet owner decides steak or hamburger, lobster or fish patties, and chicken florentine or chicken fingers.  Your choices, by the time they get to you, are hamburger, fish patties, or chicken fingers. Social media works the same way. Sure you can follow only others who like chicken fingers, and unfollow those who like fish patties. But at the end of the day, it is the social media companies who decide what goes on that buffet. It is not by accident the “Taliban” have a Twitter account, and former president Trump does not. 

   Make no mistake, social media is a tool used by the powerful to corral and control the masses. Just because you can choose to color your prison wall with the light blue bricks of Twitter, or the crimson red bricks of Youtube, does not alter the fact you are a prisoner, even if it is self-imposed. Are you really free if your only choices are how to gild your cage?  

Oh well, at least its chicken fingers night in Shawshank USA. 

I Am, therefore I Think

 

   Perhaps the most disturbing aspect of the entire Covid Narrative is the complete lack of critical thought by those willing to roll up their sleeve just because Government, big Pharma, and the Media are pushing it. Nobody with a 3 digit IQ could, with critical thought, THINK there is any wisdom in taking an untested, rushed to market jab, with unknown long term effects, which neither conveys immunity or stops transmission - all to fight a virus which is killing 1 healthy person in 15,000 under age 65. 

    Bagholder has had a difficult time understanding why 1/2 the country has willingly gotten vaxxed. One thing is for sure, they are not thinking critically. For many of them, critical thought was deliberately removed by the educational system at a very young age. After all, the schools are usually government run, and Gman has no use for independent "thinkers" who have the nasty habit of questioning authority. They much prefer non-thinking, like minded, obedient drones. 

    Consequently, schools from day one are conditioning our youth to TRUST authority. In fact we are told to trust authority more than we trust ourselves. With that in mind, it really should not be a surprise 1/2 the adults in this country have swallowed the Government Covid narrative with nary a thought. They trust the source. To put it bluntly, NO critical thought is required when trust is freely given. 

   Bagholder lives in a world where trust is not given, it is earned. Government, quite frankly, hasn't earned any. Everything they touch, they make worse, without exception. No critically thinking individual should believe anything they say.  The obedient, on the other hand, swallow it whole. Most of them believe, the faster they roll up their sleeve, the faster they get back to their normal lives.

   While blind trust explains why many people got vaxxed, there is something else working here as well. A huge percentage of the population, while capable of critical thought, opt not to use it, because they are governed by emotion. One of the strongest human emotions is Fear. The tried and true blueprint gman uses to tap peoples fear is just a 3 step process. 

 First, completely control the environment of the target, usually through isolation and non-stop propaganda.  This explains the masks, the lockdowns, and the 24/7/365 Covid news cycle. 

  Secondly, you manufacture and then bombard the target with a crisis, solely to instill fear.  This explains the exaggerated death counts, the videos of overrun emergency rooms, the dire headlines, the doom & gloom predictions, etc...

   The third and final step is to trigger the "fight or flight" mechanism within the target. Once this is accomplished critical thought is no longer an option, because fear is driving the bus. Their nervous system becomes stressed,  their natural reaction is panic, and their decisions become emotional. They will do anything to get out of the fight or flight mode, including throwing critical thought out the window.  The world would be a better place, If only the idea of fearing less and understanding more, were as widespread as the Covid narrative. 

  In this world, we do have choices. You can walk a higher path, live a vigilant life of critical thinking, where you gather your own information, vet your own sources, and make up your own mind......OR .... You can follow the path of least resistance, and passively swallow the Government narrative, so you can quickly get back to your Amazon packages, In and Out Burgers, social media accounts, and streaming services. Your choice. 

It frightens me, 1/2 the country has already chosen the latter....

21 reasons NOT to vax

    Not normally big on making lists, but this topic is just too important.  What follows are 21 of the biggest reasons not to Vax. If anyone reading this knows of a similar list of reasons to Vax, please let me know. Would love to hear it.

1. This is not a Vaccine.  

      When you get a vaccine for something, you are immune. The immunity, by definition, is what makes it a vaccine.  Even if it were a vaccine, Bagholder prefers

Jab Psychology

 

                           There are none so blind, as those who will not see

   You would think an actual Blind person would see less than someone who can see, but chooses not to. The reality of it though, is while the blind person sees nothing; the person who can see - but refuses - sees less than nothing. They only see the bad information already in their head. Given the choice between no information (the blind) and bad information (those who can see, but refuse), Bagholder would prefer no information. Hence the expression, "there are none so blind, as those who will not see."

   At the root level, this expression speaks to the virtues of being open minded. Psychologists would say when a mind is closed to new information it is usually due to holding a belief that runs counter to what new information is saying. The Psychological term for this is cognitive dissonance.  Simply put, there is a gap between what is believed, and reality. When this occurs, there are

My Way

 

     I am doing my best to find something to write about other than Covid, and the Vaccines. Its tough to do, because its everywhere you look. Its simply amazing  the number of people who willingly roll up their sleeves, for an untested vaccine (which offers no immunity) to fight a virus which has a survival rate of 99.76% - same as the flu. The thought process of most adults has been corrupted, no doubt.  My guess is the educational system is largely to blame. So lets discuss them & leave the Covid out of it. 

   Bagholder has always believed public schools are not there to teach, but rather they are there to familiarize and condition the young to the ways of institution, eliminating any bit of independent thought or self awareness along the way. As far back as I could remember, it was:

Pfizer..... Emperor Approved

 

                       I am altering the deal, Pray I do not alter it any further

   As we documented previously, The powers that be have a penchant for “moving the goalposts”, so to speak.  Much like Lord Vader (pictured above), they proclaim  X.  When X turns out, not to their liking - they simply Re-define X.  Consider the promises made by Government regarding Covid. First it was, 15 days to flatten the curve.  When that failed it became masks & social distancing.  When that failed it became 30 day lockdowns. After having been teased multiple times with a possible end to Covid, the public was clamoring for any possible solution. Pfizer then conveniently rides in with a vaccine to fight Covid.  

    The public was promised a return to “normal’ life, if only they

Outsourcing Tyranny

 

  The first amendment in the constitution is a remarkable provision which has for over 200 years granted us the freedom to speak our minds.  It states:

      Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech.

      Meaning, we all have the right to say whatever we want, no matter how hateful, ridiculous, or outright stupid our views may be. There is a reason this was the first amendment.  Our forefathers realized the importance of being able to call out the prevailing political leadership on their misdeeds.  Speaking out against the leadership (and their choices) is a means of checking the power of those in charge.  Its why despots all throughout history, upon assuming power, immediately

To Jab or not to jab (Part 3)

 

     In the mid 1980’s a friend of mine approached me with the opportunity to parachute out of an airplane.  Bagholder was in - all the way in!   Since we were noobies, before jumping we were required to take a 4 hour class designed to help us out should something go wrong during the jump.  One of the things they had us do was watch a 90 minute video of all the possible problems ranging from,  a non opening chute, a tangled chute, a torn chute, a torn ripcord, a partially opened chute, etc…. The video was just one disaster after the next.  After 90 minutes of that, about half of the people in my class got up, walked out, went to their cars, and drove away.  Even Bagholder was having second thoughts.  

     So, i pulled the instructor aside and asked him

Masks for thee, but not for me ...

  Pictured above are the 3 stooges, a slapstick trio who were a seminal influence in Bagholders childhood. They would routinely undertake mundane everyday tasks - like walking through a door (pictured above) - and fail at them, often in spectacular fashion.  Notice in the photo above there is a doorway, plenty big enough for any of the stooges to get through. But in typical stooge manner, they attempt to go through the door simultaneously - shoulder to shoulder - which prevents any of them from getting through.  All of which brings us to the topic of todays discussion:

                                                              Masks, and their efficacy.

  

 Fauci has claimed on many occassions wearing a mask is one of the best things you can do to prevent the spread of the Virus.

To Jab, or not to Jab (part 2)

   Since we discovered in part one - link here - the decision to vax is largely tied to political affiliation, Bagholder thought today he would vet the arguments of the pro vaccine side.  At one point or another, Bagholder reached out (some verbally - some in writing) to every one of the 41 people he could list which voted Democrat in the last election AND chose to get the Jab. In no uncertain terms I asked WHY they did it & to please help me understand

To Jab, or not to Jab (part 1)

  

    When making big investment decisions, one of the most important factors is looking at who is on which side of the trade, also known as the structure - link here.  In many arenas, like the commodity markets - nothing else even matters. Bagholder, being the logical type, believes looking at structure when making life decisions - as opposed to just investment decisions - is a worthwhile pursuit. So, when considering

Love in Theory....... Hate in Practice

  

                                                            

    One of the Seminal moments in political history came in the year 1875, In Germany of all places. A new political party was formed, called the social democratic party. It was known as the party of "Love". The way the party leaders saw it, Government was to be like a loving father who took care of his citizens. This is evidenced by the fact Germany was the first country on Earth whose Government provided universal Health Care for all. They were also the first country to have Social security payments to the elderly. Germany, and the party of Love quickly became the envy of Europe. They were far and away the most progressive and idealistic

Learn from History ..... Or be Doomed to repeat it

  

   In the 1960's, Pharmaceutical companies were permitted to bring drugs to market without much, if any testing.  So when pregnant women suffering from morning sickness were looking for relief, the drug companies were happy to provide a drug called Thalidomide.  The drug was very effective in stopping morning sickness....the problem however was in the side effects.  Babies born to women taking Thalidomide while pregnant showed a 12 fold increase in birth defects.  Not only were the side effects horrific, but it took almost a decade for the scientific community to figure out the 12x increase in birth defects was caused by thalidomide.

   One of the interesting lessons from the Thalidomide debacle was how the connection between the drug & side effects was established. There was a group of women who chose not to take the drug creating what scientists call "the control group".   After a decade, there were enough births (data) for doctors to compare births from those on the drug, to those not on the drug (the control group).  Once the sample size was large enough, it was obvious when comparing the 2 groups - Thalidomide was causing the defects. 

    Enter the federal Government.  Shortly after this debacle, the FDA was given some teeth. They mandated 2 things...  First, does the drug work (efficacy). Secondly, what are the potential risks (side effects). Ever since, drug companies have been required to show a drug works - first in a Lab (phase 1), secondly in animals (phase 2) , and finally in clinical trials with Humans (phase 3) - before they are permitted to sell the drug on the open market. In addition they are required to disclose all side effects; which is why every drug commercial ends with a long list of potential maladies.  All  this thorough testing  seems very reasonable to Bagholder,  as we do not want to end up with more Thalidomides. 

   In the mid 1970's, just a few years after they empowered FDA and fresh off the Thalidomide disaster, the USA gets hit with an epidemic of Swine flu. So how does Government respond? Under emergency use authorization, they allow drug companies to create and market  a vaccine in only months without clinical testing or FDA approval. Sound familiar? As it turned out the vaccine was killing & maiming far more people than the Flu - and so the vaccine was pulled from the market in only months, an abject failure.  

   Fast forward to 2020 - the year of Covid.  Does government learn from their past mistakes? Of course not. Government, in its infinite wisdom, arbitrarily decides to suspend what has worked for  nearly 50 years, and once again, allow drug companies to sell their experimental mRna "vaccines" without testing and without FDA approval. Obviously they do not learn from history.

      Speaking of FDA approval, drug companies only get approval on about 8% of the drugs they take to the FDA. Meaning 92% of the time, their concoctions fail to work.  So you have 2 drugs (Moderna & Pfizer) brought to market without testing from companies who fail 92% of the time.   If history is any guide,  for you glass half full types, there is a 14.72% chance ONE of the 2 drugs will work  ((100 - {(.92x .92) + (.08 x .08)}) = 14.72) . For the realists among you, there is a 99.36% probability at least ONE of them will fail ((100 - 100(.08x.08))=99.36) . 

 Yes, you read that correctly - 99.36% probability one of them will FAIL. 

  I can hear the whining now....Oh Bagholder ....you do not know what you are talking about!  Thing is though, Math is very unforgiving, because it cannot be argued - and if there is one thing Bagholder understands - its math. 

   The part Bagholder is struggling with is why the incessant push for a 100% vaccination rate?   The news cycle is 24/7 - get the vaccine!!  I've seen them use fear as a motivator - get the vaccine before the virus get you.  I've seen them use flattery - get the vaccine, its the smart move.  I've seen them use bribery - get the vaccine, and you can get a free side of fries. I've seen threats - get the vaccine or you are out of a job.  I've seen mandates, get the vaccine - or you are out of the military. What I haven't seen from TPTB is the Math, because its just not on their side. The question remains, why the push for 100% vaccination.  

And then it hit me....

   With a 100% vaccination rate, there is no "control group".   When the long term side effects of the Vaccines start showing up -  There will be no control group to which we can compare results, and thus no way to establish a connection between the Vaccine & side effects.  So a couple years from now when sterility rates soar, or cancer rates skyrocket  - or whatever the side effects may be - they can then be conveniently blamed on some new Virus.  Gman & the drug companies will then step in with another new drug to solve the problem their covid vaccine created.  Bagholder strongly suspects TPTB know there are long term issues with the Vaccines. As such, the relentless push for 100% is to cover up their tracks, and hide a Crime in progress. 

  Just remember, you are not ANTI-VAX ....you are just part of the CONTROL GROUP.

The bigger the Lie ....

  

   Much like the late, great George Carlin - Bagholder has only a few rules to live by. The first is "I don't believe anything Government tells me".... Some good examples include:

"Read my lips, no new taxes"  LIE

"I did not have sex with that woman"  LIE

"Saddam has Weapons of Mass Destruction"  LIE

                                               *************************

  Bagholder could easily name another dozen lies just off the top of his head - but you get the idea.  There was not a shred of truth in any of those statements.... Which brings us to the Latest Government LIE.  

"Covid Vaccines are safe & effective"

It's hard to believe Gman can pack 4 lies into a 6 word sentence, then again - they are world class Liars.

LIE #1

"Vaccines"

    When you get a Vaccine for something - you are immune.  The immunity is what makes it a Vaccine. For example, Bagholder has gotten a Polio Vaccine, as such - will never get polio. How is it then, there are 100's of thousands of Vaccinated people coming down with Covid?  Simple, It is Not a Vaccine - it is something else.  Much like calling my dog a cat does not make him a cat..... Calling this a Vaccine does not make it a Vaccine. 

LIE #2

 "SAFE"

  According to VAERS (the vaccine adverse reaction office of the CDC) as of 7/16/21 there have been 9125 deaths in the US reported attributable to the VACCINE, and over 110,000 Reactions so severe they required Hospitalization.  In fact, there have been more hospitalizations & Deaths in the USA  from these  "covid vaccines" than ALL other Vaccines in US history, combined!!  With numbers like these, Anybody making the case these Covid shots are Safe - is Lying.   Once again, calling my dog a cat, does not make him a cat....Nor does calling these covid shots "Safe" make them Safe.

Lie #3

   "Effective"

     If these Covid shots are effective, why are "vaccinated" people testing positive for Covid? Why would booster shots be neccesary for something which is effective?  According to the CEO of Pfizer the Pfizer Vaccine is 84% effective in preventing Covid - link here. For people incapable of critical thought, 84% sounds wonderful.  Truth is 84% is a disgrace. We are a country of roughly 360 million people with roughly 36 million cases - meaning 10% of us have been infected, and 90% of us have not been infected. In other words,  Doing Nothing to prevent covid has been 90% effective. Only Big Pharma & Gman could lower the 90% down to 84%, and call it Effective.   My dog is a cat. 

LIE #4

  Implications

  "Covid Vaccines are safe and Effective"  is a Declarative statement.  When made by someone in a position of authority, like for instance, the President of the United States - there are some implications. Chief among those, would be the vaccines have been thoroughly tested. Fact is, they have not been tested - at all. These are experimental Drugs. Make no mistake, If you have taken the Vaccine, you are part of an experiment. In US history, there has never been a mRna drug to pass phase 2 testing (on animals), let alone phase 3 testing (on humans in clinical trials).  To state these covid shots are safe & effective without testing is more than just disingenuous, it is an outright LIE.

  Bagholder is quite certain when history looks back years from now ..... the statement "Covid Vaccines are safe & effective"  will go down as the biggest Government Lie since Abraham Lincoln told the masses the "Income tax is a TEMPORARY measure to fund the war".

Covid - by the numbers

 First some indisputable facts both sides can agree on ...

1. The Virus is Real

2. The "vaccine" appears to help in combating the Virus should you get it, but is not without risk

3. Approximately 1.6% (1 in 60) of people who have tested positive with Covid have died (36mil US cases, 600k deaths - grossly exaggerated number, but lets use it)

4. There is risk present both in taking the Vaccine and NOT taking the Vaccine

5. According to the CDC  82% of the Deaths Have been in people over 65, and 95.2% of deaths have been people over 50

   The real Question here is what are the risks, exactly ..... Lets consider the math first ....

  In a country of 350 million people with 600k deaths, The overall chances of Death are 1 in 584. 

 There are roughly 54 million aged 65 and older in this country, Leaving 296 million under the age 65. 

  600k deaths x 82%  Yields 492,000 deaths from over 65, leaving 108,000 deaths from the under 65.  

  Meaning if you are over 65, actual chances of death (492k out of 54 mil) are about 1 in 112 

  For people under 65, the same math (296 mil/108,000 deaths) yields a result of 1 in 2740. 

  For people under 50, the same math (236mil/29230 deaths) yields a result of 1 in 8073.

    Now, couple those numbers with the March 19th study by the University of Chicago showing 82.2% of people testing positive for Covid are Vitamin D deficient, while 17.8% are not Vitamin D deficient.

 People whose vitamin D levels are good & over 65, the odds of getting Covid AND dying from it can now be adjusted as follows: 112/.178 = 1 in 629

 People whose vitamin D levels are good & under 65, the odds of getting Covid and dying from it can now be adjusted as follows: 2740/.178 = 1 in 15,397

 People whose vitamin D levels are good & under 50, the odds of getting Covid and dying from it can now be adjusted as follows: 8073/.178 = 1 in 45,353

Fun fact for those in the under 65 group:   You have a better chance of being struck by lightning (1 in 15,300 - google it) than dying from Covid.

  For the record, Bagholder finds it despicable the World has been turned upside down for a Virus killing one healthy person in every 15,397 people under 65. 

  Even more reprehensible, is a country which injects its young with an experimental vaccine highly likely to fail. 

*********************************************************************************

  And now lets consider some facts about the Vaccine .....

- No clinical trials

- No Double blind studies

- No phase 3 testing

-The mRna Vaccines are altering both the Structure (at the ACE 2 receptor) AND function (to start producing spike proteins) of every cell in your Body

- Another fun fact... Do you know what else alters the structure & function of your cells?  I'll save you the trouble of research - the answer is Cancer

 As if all that is not bad enough, there is this:

- According to VAERS (the vaccine adverse reaction office of the CDC) as of 7/16/21 there have been 9125 deaths in the US reported attributable to the VACCINE, and over 110,000 Reactions so severe they required Hospitalization.  Unlike the 600k Covid deaths where hospitals were incentivized with cash payments to report, there is no cash payment for the 9125 Vaccine deaths. So it is safe to assume the 9125 deaths the CDC admits to, is LOW - but lets use it. 

According to the Wall Street Journal, Just over 124 million Americans are now fully Vaccinated. If you divide 9125 by 124 million that gives you a Vaccine death rate of 1 in 13,589.

So in conclusion, The Virus is killing 1 in 45,353 people under age 50 who are not Vitamin D deficient - while the Vaccine is killing 1 in 13,589.  

 In Other words, without even considering the long term side effects .......

The VACCINE is 3.5x deadlier than the VIRUS. 

Bagholder will take his chances with the Virus.
