The Urban Institute has issued a report on the effect Covid has had on enrollment in public schools. Findings include:

Over the first two school years under the pandemic, K–12 enrollment in public schools fell by more than 1.2 million students…

In the 2021–22 school year, private school enrollment was 4 percent higher while homeschool enrollment was 30 percent higher.

Among the implications:

The sharp and sustained growth in homeschooling and private school enrollment raises new questions about the quality of the learning environments children are experiencing.

Just as we no longer trust health authorities after being brazenly lied to by power-hungry technocrats, parents no longer feel secure leaving their children’s education in the hands of a dysfunctional and ideologically deranged establishment — not after online learning gave them a glimpse of the moonbattery kids are subjected to.

By recklessly wasting vast fortunes and crushing small business, Covid hysteria sowed the seeds of our unfolding economic ruin. But if it results in prying education free of the liberal grip, it could end up saving the country in the long run.

Hopefully it is a coincidence that the moonbats who think there are too many of us have tried to impose a vaccine that has now been confirmed to effect women’s reproductive cycle.

Earlier, we saw Pfizer’s director of R&D strategic operations and mRNA scientific planning Jordon Walker admit that his company has been looking into creating knew viral strains to help milk the Covid “cash cow” (as he calls it). Let’s hear what he has to say about the current Pfizer vax’s effect on menstruation:

Something weird is going on with menstrual cycles, but Pfizer doesn’t know what. So they inject their vax into as many arms as possible and hope for the best, while they branch out into gene editing.

Maybe the mainstream media will report on this, and Google’s YouTube will refrain from censoring it, so that James O’Keefe won’t have to resort to running it on an LED truck for people to see it. But don’t get your hopes up. Pfizer, the media, and Big Tech, along with the Democratic Party, are barely separate heads on the same hellish beast.

On tips from Mr. Freemarket and ABC of the ANC.

Only one recent story might be as big as the Project Veritas revelation that Pfizer has been conspiring to create new viruses through “directed evolution” (i.e., gain of function, as in Wuhan) so as to profit from vaccines, as confessed by a top Pfizer exec who then assaulted James O’Keefe for recording the admission. That is the corrupted mainstream media’s refusal to report it. So Project Veritas does its best to give the story some of the attention it deserves:

Either the media breaks down and starts reporting the news even when events run contrary to Democrat talking points, or people will figure out that it is useless and turn to more legitimate sources of information — like Project Veritas.

Despite the media blockade and Big Tech censorship, Pfizer has felt compelled to respond:

In response to the stunning Project Veritas video, Pfizer officials admitted its scientists “engineered” mutated covid viruses in experiments to ensure its pharmaceutical products remained effective against new variants.

In a press release, the company refuted claims made in the video by Jordon Trishton Walker, “director of research and development for strategic operations and mRNA scientific planning.”

This attempt at damage control squirted technical jargon like squid ink and “seemed to conflate computer simulations with the type of viral work requiring the highly specialized containment area associated with a Biosafety Level 3 facility.”

The company is going to have to do better to answer the questions posed by U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL), who sent a letter to Albert Bourla, the President and CEO of Pfizer, following the release of the video in which one of its directors casually discusses the company’s manipulation of the covid virus for profit.

Imagine an America where Democrats have abolished the Electoral College and imposed “voting rights” legislation so as to achieve single-party rule as in Chicago and California. Marco Rubio would not be in a position to demand answers from Pfizer. James O’Keefe would find himself in a gulag even faster than Mark Houck.

On a tip from Mr. Freemarket.

It was almost unbelievable when top Pfizer executive Jordon Trishton Walker spilled to a Project Veritas reporter during what he thought was a gay date that Pfizer has been at the least conspiring to conduct “directed evolution” (i.e., gain of function) research to mutate viruses so as to profit from the vaccines, daring fate to subject us to another Wuhan Institute of Virology type leak (transcript here). The follow-up video is still more astonishing:

Before you let the authorities bully you into letting them stick something from Pfizer into your arm, consider that this messed-up maniac is their director of worldwide R&D strategic operations and mRNA scientific planning.

The global mega-corporation is so powerful that this is still not regarded as a news story. Tucker Carlson is aghast at the near-total media blackout:

If anything could be a bigger scandal than Pfizer conspiring to create new viruses Wuhan style to profit from vaccines, it would be the liberal establishment media refusing to report it. This might help explain the blackout:

Again we are reminded that Big Media will only tell you what is in ruling class interests to tell you.

Note that Walker’s alarming instinct was to call on the police to do something about Project Veritas, despite being the one who committed assault. It is not too late to stop what’s happening to this country, because James O’Keefe and Tucker Carlson are not yet in an FBI basement getting their fingernails pulled out on orders from the people who control Pfizer.

At first, it seemed Pfizer was our savior, providing a vaccine to a deadly disease. But as the Covid saga continues to unfold, a different picture emerges. Presenting Jordon Trishton Walker, Pfizer Director of Research and Development–Strategic Operations and mRNA Scientific Planning, who explains how “directed evolution” could allow Pfizer to capitalize on preemptive vaccines to diseases that will not exist until Pfizer creates them, Wuhan Institute of Virology style:

Covid certainly will be a “cash cow” for some for the foreseeable future. As Walker states, there is a “revolving door” between Big Pharma and Big Government. This provides the people on both sides of the door with what they want: money and power, respectively.

Walker doesn’t come off like someone who would hold such an important position, but if Kamala Harris can climb to VP and Ketanji Brown Jackson can serve on the Supreme Court, anything is possible in the age of Affirmative Action run amok. The reckless pursuit of “diversity” could have resulted in Pfizer hiring someone dumb enough to spill the secret recipe.

Big Pharma and Big Government are not the only crucial components of the corrupt establishment. Big Media will be called upon to play an important part by suppressing this bombshell story:

Whether this can be suppressed remains to be seen.

You can find good in anyone if you look hard enough — even moonbats like Sean Penn:

Penn has been spewing “jail the unvaccinated” rhetoric for some time now. The difference is that by this point we all know the vaccines are largely ineffective and probably no longer necessary anyway. Dangers of the jab continue to come to light. From the beginning, we have known that they are a bad idea for young people, combining unknown long-term risk with minimal benefit.

The good thing about Penn? As with his sucking up to the socialist dictator who destroyed Venezuela, he provides a valuable warning that beneath the sanctimonious, nicey-nice façade of our leftist ruling class lies mindless authoritarianism.

According to tolerant, open-minded liberals, those who question the safety, efficacy, and/or necessity of Covid vaccines are politically unclean, and therefore are to be ostracized and punished. They should even be made to pay more for accident insurance:

A new study published this month in The American Journal of Medicine claimed those unvaccinated from the COVID-19 virus were more likely to get in traffic accidents… The study’s authors suggested insurance companies should make changes to policies of unvaccinated individuals.

Again we see that the medical establishment, like the journalism profession, has allowed itself to be subordinated to moonbattery.

The principal investigator for the study, Dr. Donald Redelmeier at the Sunnybrook Research Institute, claimed his research “demonstrated traffic risks were 50%-70% more frequent for adults who had not been vaccinated compared to those who had.”

It isn’t that not being vaxxed makes you crash your car. It’s that it makes you the kind of person who would.

“This does not mean COVID-19 vaccination directly prevents traffic crashes. Instead, it suggests that adults who do not follow public health advice may also neglect the rules of the road,” he concluded.

Never mind the unknown long-term effects of the vaccines. The unvaxxed are reckless and do not do as they are told like good liberals.

[British diagnostic pathologist Dr Clare Craig] argued that the study’s data could be used to make any sort of claims about the unvaccinated, from having a higher rate of “giving to charity” to “recycling,” simply because the “denominator [was] artificially small.”

The study’s authors search for explanations for their findings:

One possibility relates to a distrust of government or belief in freedom that contributes to both vaccination preferences and increased traffic risks. A different explanation might be misconceptions of everyday risks, faith in natural protection, antipathy toward regulation, chronic poverty, exposure to misinformation, insufficient resources, or other personal beliefs

Distrust of inept technocratic overlords, love of freedom, religious beliefs, resistance to oppressive regulations, and exposure to unapproved sources of misinformation are what the authors really link to unvaxxed status — and what they want to punish.

Moronic studies intended to prop up leftist ideology are largely financed with your tax dollar. Nearly as bad as the waste of public funds is that they displace useful scientific research.

The communists ruling China comprise the deadliest regime in human history, having killed an estimated 65 million of their own citizens under Mao alone. The Chinese people are so fed up with Covid tyranny that they are standing up to it. The liberal media sanctimoniously positions itself on the side of the rebels, despite being instrumental in the imposition of Covid tyranny in the West, and despite having installed in office Joe Biden, who will not take sides against his ChiCom benefactors.

Taylor Lorenz of the Washington Post (best known for using the intimidation tactic of doxing Libs of TikTok) may be a ditzy moonbat, but at least she is true to her principles:

Lorenz raised eyebrows over the weekend when she defended the Chinese Communist Party’s “zero-COVID” policy while slamming her employer’s reporting on the subject.

The Washington Post on Saturday tweeted an article about China’s record number of coronavirus cases in the country.

“‘A coronavirus outbreak on the verge of being China’s biggest of the pandemic has exposed a critical flaw in Beijing’s ‘zero Covid’ strategy: a vast population without natural immunity,’ the tweet said.

The article seemingly hit a nerve for Lorenz, who responded with an extended Twitter rant praising China’s authoritarian COVID lockdowns and accusing the U.S. of killing “millions of vulnerable people” by reopening the country.

When not even WaPo is moonbatty enough…

Liberal demigod Anthony Fauci — who apparently provided US taxpayer money to help fund the ChiCom creation of Covid — also remains basically true to the cause, although the career bureaucrat is more politically astute about it:

Good thing Democrats have not finished consolidating power, or authorities would be welding doors shut here too (if only for a “temporary period of time”).

It is true that people can be duped or herded into tolerating and even voting for the likes of Joe Biden. But it is also true that there are limits to how much senseless tyranny they will put up with. This may be bad news for Biden’s colleague and business partner Xi Jinping, who continues to push Covid tyranny past people’s level of endurance:

Demonstrations against Xi, his oppressive Covid crackdowns and increasingly authoritarian rule are now sweeping the country – with activists taking to the streets of Beijing, Shanghai, Wuhan, and Nanjing in an unprecedented wave of dissent.

How do you say “Let’s Go Brandon” in Chinese?

Imagine how angry the Chinese must be if they are aware that their own government almost certainly created Covid at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

Globalists will be pleased to see the Chinese and degenerate Western regimes come to resemble each other. The ChiComs have coopted social media by flooding Twitter with lewd spam:

Large numbers of Chinese-language Twitter accounts burst into life on Sunday and began inundating search feeds with racy images, suggestive videos and links to escort services.

Many of the accounts were created years ago and had been lying dormant, having posted little to no content.

But since protests spread across the country this weekend, the accounts suddenly began churning out thousands of posts per day.

Never mind liberty; have some porn instead. Similarly, Democrats offer casual sex without consequences via abortion.

The erotic images and videos included in the posts are accompanied by the names of cities to ensure that the distraction would turn up in searches for those seeking information on the demonstrations.

It is not working:

Clashes between activists and police have already taken place in Shanghai – which suffered through a months-long Covid lockdown earlier this year – with BBC cameraman Edward Lawrence arrested and beaten by officers in the city.

The BBC exists mainly to advance the cause of leftist Big Government. Poetic justice can be harsh.

Some are calling for Dictator for Life Xi Jinping to resign and even for the CCP to relinquish power. Anger is spreading to other grievances, including calls for free expression.

Experts say Xi cannot back down from his insane zero-Covid policy, nor can he allow the protests to challenge his rule, the legitimacy of which is based solely on brute force and fear. That means another Tiananmen Square is coming.

How will the Big Guy respond?

Teachers unions constitute a central pillar of the liberal establishment, brainwashing children with leftist ideology, strategically keeping them ignorant, and funneling vast amounts of money that originated with taxpayers into the Democratic Party. On orders from Randi Weingarten’s American Federation of Teachers, Biden’s handlers ordered the CDC to advise the Covid lockdowns that allowed teachers to avoid work.

Now that even liberals are starting to understand that the lockdowns were not only tyrannical and unnecessary but profoundly destructive, teachers unions are against lockdowns. Weingarten keeps a straight face while making an impassioned case:

Rank and file Democrats will use doublethink to erase from their minds that unions took the diametric opposite stance when it mattered. They think whatever they are told to think, whenever they are told to think it. To quote Occam’s Stubble,

We have always been at war with East Schoolclosia.

Covid was only the beginning. The Liberal World Order learned a lot about how much tyranny we will tolerate. These lessons will be applied to the next pandemic. At the B20 (part of the G20 Summit in Bali), Indonesia’s Health Minister Budi Gunadi Sadikin has called for digital health passports:

“Let’s have a digital health certificate acknowledged by WHO. If you have been vaccinated or tested properly, then you can move around. So for the next pandemic, instead of stopping the movement of the people, one hundred percent… you can still provide some movement of the people.”

As in the Soviet Union, you will still be allowed to move around on a limited basis, so long as you go where authorities want you.

Incidentally, the WHO is largely funded by American taxpayers but largely controlled by the Chinese Communist Party.

It used to be said that war is the health of the state. Now, it would be more accurate to say that sickness is the health of the globalist ruling class.

Also at the B20, founder of the sinister World Economic Forum/crown prince of the Davos crowd/cartoonish Bond villain Klaus Schwab reveals the scope of the tyranny they aspire to impose:

You don’t have anything that they don’t want to take away from you.

On tips from Wiggins.

Remember when Stacy Abrams — the election denier who used to claim she was Governor of Georgia — posed maskless in front of a group of masked schoolchildren?

This was especially politically incompetent because we knew from early on that Covid was not a significant threat to children and that the masks were bad for their health.

Yet even now, with Covid petering out, we see this:

Comments Not the Bee,

• Forcing children to wear masks is child abuse.

• Forcing them to wear a mask while you, as an adult, don’t wear a mask because of your superior status, is elitist hypocrisy.

• Forcing children to mask up while you dance and smile and use them for a photo-op is disgusting exploitation.

But as Shrillary might shriek, what difference at this point does it make? If the Covid tyrant Kathy Hochul could get reelected after the way she has been running New York, she need have no worries about the impression she leaves on voters. The state is so deep into the Democrat Death Spiral as to have achieved single-party rule.

This phenomenon occurs when the high taxes and suffocating regulations that come with Democrat control drive out enough productive citizens that those who remain can be counted on to vote for ever higher taxes so as to attain ever more freebies, driving out more productive citizens in a vicious cycle that does not stop until the entire state has become Detroit — which was once the wealthiest city in America.

Even now, as liberal establishmentarians call for amnesty for the damage they inflicted in the name of Covid, they collect awards:

Bobson Wong, a 17-year veteran math teacher, was just awarded $20,000 and the MfA Muller Award for Professional Influence in Education for “influencing the teaching profession in exceptional ways” and his “ability to have a positive impact within [his] school community and drive change outside of [his] own classroom.”

On Twitter, meanwhile, Wong regularly and publicly shares his disdain for the parents of his students who advocated opening schools — in Marxist, classist language.

“When I see the ‘keep schools open’ screaming about ending mask mandates from the comfort of their home offices in their posh neighborhoods unaffected by COVID, I shake my head. Centering your convenience at the expense of everyone is the embodiment of privilege.”

The irony could warp time and space. No one was more privileged during Covid hysteria than teachers whose politically favored unions kept them from having to work, even though everyone knew the virus posed a minimal risk to children. These kids have now fallen behind, their health was damaged by the senseless masks, they face a mental health crisis, and their parents may have been forced to leave the workforce due to unnecessary school closures.
