I joined Bernadette Pajer live on An Informed Life Radio Friday evening for a lively two-hour discussion about where we are at in progressing toward health freedom and the obstacles we face in light of the government’s war on our right to informed consent.

Here’s a bullet-point summary of topics we discussed:

Hour 1:

• How I got started doing independent journalism after 9/11 and the important lesson I learned from the vitriolic responses I received from family and friends for sharing information about how the US government was lying about Iraq having “weapons of mass destruction” (WMD) as a false pretext to start an illegal war of aggression for regime change.
• Why I shifted the focus of my work from foreign policy and economic matters entirely to matters of “public health” policy.
• How the ongoing censorship of truth predated the COVID‑19 lockdowns, even to the extent that the simple act of advocating the right to informed consent was being equated in the medical literaturewith spreading “misinformation” about vaccines.
• How a recent study advocating more censorship and penalization of physicians who ostensibly spread “misinformation” about COVID‑19 and the vaccines defined “misinformation” as any information, no matter how factually accurate, that did not align with what the CDC was saying.
• How that absurd criterion resulted in the study authors themselves hypocritically propagating misinformation; e.g., it results in the absurdity that if you said on social media that natural immunity is superior to that induced by the vaccines, you would be accused of spreading “misinformation”, even though it happens to be true.
• Why we all need to be involved in this struggle for health freedom, and as Bernadette stated, “If you have not gotten into a little bit of trouble for not standing up and speaking it, then you might not be doing your job as well as you should be.”
• How the CDC uses “statistical shamwizardry” and engages in “science-like activities” to support its recommendation that everyone aged six months and up receive the new monovalent COVID‑19 vaccine (to borrow a couple of phrases from our friend Dr. James Lyons-Weiler).
• How the FDA commits fraud on behalf of the pharmaceutical companies by making advertising claims that it would be against the law for the vaccine manufacturers themselves to make.
• How the new monovalent COVID‑19 vaccines are being pushed on the population on the basis of false assumptions.
• What “original antigenic sin” is and how it has been shown to be a real problem with mRNA COVID-19 vaccines.
• How scientific research similarly shows that “all children who were primed by DTaP vaccines will be more susceptible to pertussis throughout their lifetimes, and there is no easy way to decrease this increased lifetime susceptibility.”
• Why we must understand natural immunity as an opportunity cost of vaccination.

Hour 2:

• Continuing with my thought from before the break, I explain what I mean by use of the economics term “opportunity cost” and how “public health” officials perpetually rely on what is known in economics as the “broken window” fallacy to support their vaccine recommendations.
• How “Public policymakers always and ever ignore the opportunity cost of vaccination; they never take it into consideration, and that’s a huge oversight; it’d be the same thing as economists saying, ‘We can all go around and throw rocks through each other’s windows and create economic growth.’”
• How vaccines can have detrimental “non-specific effects”, as it is described in in the scientific literature, such as how the DTP vaccine, while providing some protection against the three target diseases, appears to detrimentally affect children’s immune system in a way that makes them more vulnerable to other diseases so that they are dying at a higher rate from other causes than they otherwise would have in the absence of DTP vaccination.
• What the one simple question is that you can ask anyone who still thinks that the CDC is a trustworthy and reliable source of information to get them to see how this is not true!
• Why, as Bernadette says, the most important and patriotic thing you can do right now is to get healthy without the use of pharmaceutical drugs.
• How the claim from the “public health” establishment that it would be impossible for vaccine mRNA to become integrated into human DNA was a logically fallacious conclusion.
• How the claim that the mRNA and spike protein from the vaccine are eliminated from the body within days of injection was a lie.
• How “reverse transcription” of vaccine mRNA into DNA may not even be necessary for integration into the host genome since the vaccines have been shown to be contaminated with DNA from the manufacturing process.
• Bernadette poses the pointed question for you to ponder, “Why aren’t they slowing down and doing the studies that they said that they didn’t have time to do before?”
• How the CDC cites sources to support its policies that draw virtually opposite conclusions from those presented by the CDC.
• Why you have to spend time doing your own research if you want to truly understand a topic, but how, at the same time, you also just need to learn to trust your intuition about what’s true and false, right and wrong.
• Why central banks exist for the purpose of defrauding most of the population, effectively violating our right to the fruits of our own labors.
• How our right to make our own informed choices about pharmaceutical interventions has been systematically violated, including with respect to the CDC’s routine childhood vaccine schedule.
• Why the retraction of the study by Dr. James Lyons-Weiler and Dr. Paul Thomas showing that Dr. Thomas’s completely unvaccinated patients were the healthiest children in his practice was based on politics, not science. (And here is that petition you can sign calling for the study to be unretracted.)
