Why would any "smart" person take a novel, untested gene therapy developed at warp speed by a drug company that is a repeat criminal felon, and that is recommended by a billionaire psychopath whose goal is depopulation? Calling a bioweapon a "vaccine" does not make it safe.
There is a big difference between “book smart” and “street smart”. My father-in-law called the former “dumb PHD’s”. He meant those who had become educated but remained unaccomplished, who might be able to talk about early 18th century literature but kept their eyes glued to CNN and The NY Times for their mainstream news. My guess is that many of the vaxx takers are these type of “highly educated” lemmings.
Yup. My construction worker brother and most of his blue collar friends did NOT take the vaxx. To them it just seemed kinda obvious from context that it was a bad idea. Covid vaxx uptake I suspect was mostly a midwith phenomenon - people with muh edumacation and muh credentials, but no real capacity for independent thought.
I rejected for many reasons but the number one reason was I thought it would kill me. This was based on a previous flu shot that landed me unable to walk for several weeks, being told that adverse reaction was COVID, and not seeing anything than a normal flu season with the same symptoms being called COVID...I'm not sure that makes me smart, I just connected some dots.
Smart also means being able to connect the dots - deductive reasoning. You are very smart!
Have you considered sharing your vax injury story at the CHD bus? I did - it was very empowering and I have had feedback from a friend that it helped her understand what happened to her when she got the TDaP.
How dare you use personal experience and critical thinking to make crucial medical decisions? Off to the reeducation camp with you! Glad you avoided it and survived the earlier scare.
Let’s coin a new term “adaptive intelligence.” If you got the covid shots, you failed yourself and perhaps self-exterminated. Your Stanford-Binet IQ will look nice on your gravestone☠️
Smart to reject; we all need to take personal responsibility for our lives and care for our health with proper nutrition, exercise, and faith in God!! Forget about all this big Pharma Garbage. If you go to the grocery store potato chip/snack aisle, it goes on forever here in the U.S., as well as all the processed food loaded with chemicals; my wife is from Italy, and the snack aisle is no bigger than my desk (3 ft wide)!! We have become a pathetic nation of many complainers and have had it easy for many years!
People lack farms. What they have instead are colorful supermarkets populated by zombies; the rows of processed food perfectly complement their diet of processed news.
Good points. I think "a drive for conformity" explains much of the "success" of vaccine roll-outs. The corollary of this is that people have a deep fear of being culled from the social or business herd. Fear is actually the most powerful motivator. So our rulers (intentionally) exploit the fear that you will be kicked out of your group - or punished by your group - if you do NOT comply. Everyone intuitively understands this. The social and psychological consequences for not complying are significant.
Even the "brilliant" Ivy League students and faculty (all with high IQs) are smart enough to grasp this most-important lesson.
Here's another question I think deserves more attention: Why is free speech still allowed on Substack? Why haven't our rulers tried to shut down this platform or attacked the platform that is most-effectively challenging all the false narratives?
My thought on that question is that nature abhors a vacuum. People have a natural hunger for truth, especially when we're surrounded by lies and other nonsense. If it weren't Substack that had stepped up to fill that need, something else would have.
The steroidal march of totalitarianism is being rolled out incrementally. It's not yet time for Substack to be deplatformed. Besides, it a good place to collect information for your profile that's currently stored in Utah - you do realize they're monitoring you right this and every minute? Might want to recite the pledge of allegiance.
Surprisingly, here is the NYT calling out domestic spying from 11 years ago. The government changed the law so domestic spying is okay, apparently until they access your file. Note they can listen in if your cell phone is off:
Possibly because the average quality of writing & ideas on Substack is so very much higher than found in regime media. The managerial class's big claim to legitimacy is that they are "smarter" than everyone else. So it's bad optics if the "smart" people try to shut down writers who are - obvious to everyone - notably smarter than the censors.
I’m one of the very high IQ people who rejected the shot immediately, based on logic and the obvious problems with the mRNA vaccine design. Why did so many well educated people flock to have it? Many with education in health and sciences (except for the brightest ones and independent thinkers) were too wedded to vaccine ideology. Many others with degrees in the humanities and social sciences may be, I’ve come to believe, illiterate in biology, medicine and science. They could not grasp the technology, the nature of vaccines, or how our bodies work (with a complexity we can barely grasp). We need better education and medical literacy.
That is overengineering the issue, methinks. From the beginning of covid-1984, it was about being able to weigh risks against rewards, The arithmetic (and that was all there was to it) could be produced on the back of an envelope, using open-source data, where the main risk was that of death. By springtime of 2020, anyone able to count his beans could see a mortality figure of about one quarter of a percent; in other words, roughly 2.5 people in a thousand were dying of covid-1984. No one in their right mind would seek a vax under such circumstances, so commnon sense and the third of the three Rs it was. Basic skills are lacking, which turns out to be life-threatening.
I don't care how high their IQ, how advanced their degrees, or what kind of prestigious accomplishments they have had. It was very clear that caution and waiting was warranted, and those who chose not to be guinea pigs and listened to those like Dr Huber expressing deep concern turned out to have made the smartest choice of all, even if it meant being subjected to mentally brutal forms of coercion. Given all the findings since then, most of which were evident from the start when Hank Aaron took the jab to reassure others, then freaking died out of the blue two days later, those who used caution and listened to more than just the noise about getting "vaccinated" rattling non-stop out of their television sets were vindicated. Those burying their heads in denial, refusing to consider anything other than the over-hyped narrative, and now still dutifully rolling up their sleeves for an absurdly ineffective and horribly dangerous shot - and bragging about it - have defined a new level of STUPID for the world to behold.
"if we examine the drive for conformity to rules and social expectations, then the Swedish results make more sense." - I recall writing to the LT. Governor of Hawaii in 2020 about Sweden. I had written a paper about Sweden and their response to covid, which was the opposite of all the other developed nations - they followed the 2019 WHO ( A criminal organization if there ever was one ) guidelines - no lockdowns, no masks and no "social" distancing - all children in school full time. The Lt .governor said I was wrong and the only answer was "vaccines". Sweden ignored their own success. mRNA is complete trash - look at Kevin McKernan's work at identifying plasmid DNA contamination in the shots. Read Walter Chesnut's Substack about the toxic spike protein. Covid is a business model - it has nothing to do with health. Hawaii was INSANE about the covid "rules". We moved to Florida in early 2021.
If you read this study in April 2020, as I did, would you EVER wear a mask?
If you read this analysis that states that the gene-therapy transfection shots have murdered 17+ million innocent people, who you EVER get an mRNA shot? ( It is NOT a vaccine. )
Read and understand. There was NO pandemic. Covid is the greatest crime in history. (Note: Amazon has just BANNED Dr. Peter McCullough's best-selling book "The Courage To Face Covid-19" - yesterday!
The real reason this is taking place and people are arguing about who is more intelligent, etc., is because they do not see it yet. It's the great controversy between Christ and Satan. Peter McCullough sees it:
People smart or not took the vax back then because they still trusted the government, and IQ is associated with many confounders, including a lack of intelligence. Also, smart people make mistakes.
Smart people are kinda dumb, with abnormally less common sense and practical life experience. Since they studied books when others were in the world experientially learning, they have intellectual deficits.
I'd also say they can be more easily programmed by consistent messaging because they're used to educational programming where giving the right answer may not be the correct answer. MDs have an average IQ of 125 but are as thoroughly programmed as a Marine, and by much the same well-honed methodology. What smart people gain from their years reading technical books they necessarily lose in generalized everyday experience. They're not as smart as they think.
Special interests spend more time targeting the smart and pay them well to keep them in line, hence Twain's: “It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure that just ain't so.”
The standard model of intelligence describes advantages in processing speed, executive decision-making, conceptual abstraction, memory, and complex problem-solving - but is more better? Or is intelligence an inverted U-curve that peaks around 140? Consider the IQ numbers on the x-axis with intelligence minus common sense on the y-axis. If you don't know the speed of light or how to build an A-bomb, are you missing much?
Higher IQ types will solve complex problems but what if there are a number of valid solutions all considered optimal under various criteria? What if we don't want some problems solved?
Overthinking can return a mostly correct but non-optimal answer. What if the smart person defers to smart experts - is that smart? What if truth is jiggered by special interests to be the truth best for them? Can a truth be best for smart people but not universally true? Smartness is not always smart just as science now is often not proper science. Smart people make mistakes they never know about. Consider all those RCTs that can't be replicated. Consider the problem with p-values. What about when consensus (unexamined assumptions) replaces evidence?
I'd guess smart people were more likely to get vaxxed because they made a wrong decision (increasing their covid propensity by 6% and they now have a higher rate of adverse events with a damaged immune system) based on information commonly available at the time and pushed by social acceptability, which is an intellectual shortcut (because they believed ten heads are better than one), and because they trusted government and the experts.
So the smart made the mistake of being dumb by deferring to the less smart.
Regarding social acceptability, their error was believing ten heads are better than one. Many still think that. They fail to realize that "just follow the crowd" problem-solving approach only works in a simple society with simple problems - not with complexity. Times have changed. In a complex situation you ignore the ten heads, which as the majority are defined as average, and go with the one smart guy in the room.
The average person now has a below-average IQ - they've not been able to keep up with complexity. (This is why democracy does not work) Furthermore, those collective ten heads comprising the majority get their science from the media, which programs for a 7th-grade comprehension level.
As for trusting the government, we were all naïve back then and the situation was too complex, with missing data, for anyone. That won't happen again. They'd get different results if they replicated the study.
They succeeded in fooling me about the seriousness of the imminent pandemic for the first two months, because at that point I was just recognizing the pattern that they prepared for me,but would never have fathomed that they would do such an orchestrated fraud. That was the initial two months. And I give credit to anyone to have fallen for the theater as I did, without necessarily being not smart. But by the time the vaccines were ready for rollout, anyone could and ought to have known that taking them was a bad idea. Btw those people who took the injections after 150 days, they were in my opinion no more intelligent than those who took them after 50 days. There, I think the "smart" people used their intelligence on being successful at procuring themselves the injection. Remember they were made to appear rare and desirable. So the smart ones didn't stop to think about whether the injections were really desirable - only about how to get them the fastest to impress their peers with their connections or virtue signal about their Karen-ness. And the 140 or 150 day people were just slower in procuring it, or, to be fair, maybe they were coerced (job loss etc). But I know enough. People who took it without needing it for the job - exclusively to be able to go to the gym. And that for me is neither intelligence nor willpower.
Yes, I too believe the smart people used their smarts to get the vax as soon as they could. At the time they just thought of it as another apparently safe vaxx, as that's how it was marketed.
A certain stupidity of theirs is that they are literally afraid, it stresses them out, to listen to ideas that are not mainstream and that they know or sense to be non conforming. I used to have some empathy be sympathetic and I used to try to convince them and explain and inform ad nauseam. But after these last year's I must say, those who still have not noticed that something is not quite right, I can't help them any more. Whenever someone signals that they are not prepared to entertain fringe ideas, because they are rational educated people (j j Couey's "skilled tv watchers"), nowadays I would immediately stop discussing the matter as I really can't be bothered any longer to educate people who obviously do not do any independent thinking of their own. We are all grown up and make our own choices and set our own priorities, and I will not lose any more time and energy on people who are too obsessed with (presumed-by-them) public opinion, and too shallowly vain to contemplate that they could use much more background info as a basis for really informed opinions.
My answer now is. Yes. d, but worse, hackxxxxines , boosters, needlerape torture is actually the terror of depopulation, we now know, because, remember, ScKamala told us so .
Of course she later claimed to have meant to have said pollution, which sounds something like depopulation.
But she didn't claim to want to be saying.
Depolution,
Because she is smart enough to know that everything she herself says is a lie, and we all know it.
Too bad you aren't the second in command ....oh welll
I smelled a rat when the hysteria was just getting whipped up and the first lockdowns perpetrated.
Propaganda started shouting, "OMG we had no plan for a pandemic!!!1!!" Whereupon I hit the CDC website, searched around for a bit, found the long-established plan for a pandemic (we definitely had one), read said plan, and realized it recommended doing more or less the exact opposite of what the Covid tyrants wanted to do.
As a former San Francisco resident, Fauci lied about AZT drug as a treatment for AIDS. Pfizer was also the drug company administering experimental drug to black WWII soldiers. Pfizer was forced to admit its involvement in 1984. Gates is a monster too. Saying NO was the greatest decision I’ve ever made.
It’s unbelievable that they have not been stopped. Fauci should’ve been arrested in the 80s. The atrocities to those poor soldiers is completely inexcusable, and who ever harmed or killed them, should have been prosecuted for murder or attempted murder. Our leaders are evil to allow this to happen.
As you clearly point out these "researchers" were willing to fool themselves as were the mildly intelligent among us but the highly intelligent, and the below average intelligence people who also refused the jabs in large numbers, know that you can't fool reality ....... ever.
First thing to consider is who made the study and why.
"We examine the relationship between cognitive ability and prompt COVID-19 vaccination using individual-level data on more than 700,000 individuals in Sweden. We find a strong positive association between cognitive ability and swift vaccination, which remains even after controlling for confounding variables with a twin-design. The results suggest that the complexity of the vaccination decision may make it difficult for individuals with lower cognitive abilities to understand the benefits of vaccination. Consistent with this, we show that simplifying the vaccination decision through pre-booked vaccination appointments alleviates almost all of the inequality in vaccination behavior."
1 This study is suspect because it seems the author is making a case that people with "lower" IQ have difficult making complex decisions and therefore need "help" to make the right decision. Maybe this study was financed by the World Economic Forum and the authors are drug pushers. The gullibility of just taking some persons word for something is the whole point here isn't it.
2 People who are young and in the military may lack real world experience in spite of their intelligence. Having been born with above average intelligence and developed common sense finally after many years of hardcore headbanging I'll say common sense is very highly rated both in terms of success and survivability. Warren Buffett on intelligence and emotional maturity:
"... legendary billionaire investor Warren Buffett says that investors with IQ over 150 may be better off selling 30 points away. “If you have a 150 IQ, sell 30 points to someone else. You need to be smart, but not a genius,” Warren Buffett is often quoted as saying. In fact, Warren Buffett places more emphasis on rationality and emotional stability. “Investing is not a game where the guy with the 160 IQ beats the guy with a 130 IQ. Rationality is essential,” says the Oracle of Omaha. In the preface to the ‘Intelligent Investor’ penned by his mentor Benjamin Graham, Warren Buffett notes, “To invest successfully does not require a stratospheric IQ, unusual business insights, or inside information. What’s needed is a sound intellectual framework for making decisions and the ability to keep emotions from corroding the framework.”
Sir Isaac Newton after initially making money investing in a South Seas venture, sold his shares at a profit and then swept along my the enthusiasm of those who were continuing to buy again bought shares in the same company and incurred a substantail loss when the value dropped. After his great loss he exclaimed, “I can calculate the motions of the heavenly bodies, but not the madness of the people.”
3 People who are told they are intelligent and perceive themselves as intelligent could be more susceptible to lies from people they perceive to be intelligent and authoritative as they would like to perceive themselves to be. Nobody likes to perceive the world as a mine field, but in fact knowing the things that can hurt you is more important than believing the things that make you feel good so it's more important to be humble regardless of your intelligence, position or power and realize the world is based on avarice, greed and psychopathology. Conclusion, you should never or rarely trust anyone or their studies, but do your own independent investigation. Common sense could ultimately be more important than high intelligence.
4 Some peoples intelligence is highly specialized. Further proof of this is shown by the facts that Pfizer has been convicted multiple times of fraud and assessed billion dollar penalties. Many people have been killed and disabled all over the world by vaccines, people with good general intelligence should know this but highly specialized people with high intelligence may not be aware of the implications of fact patterns outside their field.
I suspect the results of the study and the motives. There are many character and personality traits that are just as important in addition to intelligence which I believe is highly important but generally more useful in conjunction with a constellation of other emotional and social skills. People should make their own medical decisions and realize they are just a quanitifiable "market" to psychopathological pharma executives and agencies of government.
"My mental faculties remained in suspended animation while I obeyed the orders of the higher-ups; this is the case with everyone in the military . . . incapable of an original thought till I got out." Marince Corp Maj Gen Smedley Butler
Been using fenbendazole (paste) topically on basal cell carcinoma. Only2-3 days so far but seems to be having an effect. Also putting mashed up habanero peppers (capsaicin) on skin and in soup once a day. Discovered I really like hot food.
Having worked with my share of campaigns we always factor in the be a good person bias in polls. Campaigns to raise taxes for a proclaimed community good always poll much higher than the actual results. Overestimating support by about 8-15%. A lot of people don't want to sound selfish. But look in their wallet in the private voting booth. Sames.
Why would any "smart" person take a novel, untested gene therapy developed at warp speed by a drug company that is a repeat criminal felon, and that is recommended by a billionaire psychopath whose goal is depopulation? Calling a bioweapon a "vaccine" does not make it safe.
When you put it like that...

There, I think the "smart" people used their intelligence on being successful at procuring themselves the injection. Remember they were made to appear rare and desirable. So the smart ones didn't stop to think about whether the injections were really desirable - only about how to get them the fastest to impress their peers with their connections or virtue signal about their Karen-ness. And the 140 or 150 day people were just slower in procuring it, or, to be fair, maybe they were coerced (job loss etc). But I know enough. People who took it without needing it for the job - exclusively to be able to go to the gym. And that for me is neither intelligence nor willpower.
Yes, I too believe the smart people used their smarts to get the vax as soon as they could. At the time they just thought of it as another apparently safe vaxx, as that's how it was marketed.
A certain stupidity of theirs is that they are literally afraid, it stresses them out, to listen to ideas that are not mainstream and that they know or sense to be non conforming. I used to have some empathy be sympathetic and I used to try to convince them and explain and inform ad nauseam. But after these last year's I must say, those who still have not noticed that something is not quite right, I can't help them any more. Whenever someone signals that they are not prepared to entertain fringe ideas, because they are rational educated people (j j Couey's "skilled tv watchers"), nowadays I would immediately stop discussing the matter as I really can't be bothered any longer to educate people who obviously do not do any independent thinking of their own. We are all grown up and make our own choices and set our own priorities, and I will not lose any more time and energy on people who are too obsessed with (presumed-by-them) public opinion, and too shallowly vain to contemplate that they could use much more background info as a basis for really informed opinions.
My answer now is. Yes. d, but worse, hackxxxxines , boosters, needlerape torture is actually the terror of depopulation, we now know, because, remember, ScKamala told us so .
Of course she later claimed to have meant to have said pollution, which sounds something like depopulation.
But she didn't claim to want to be saying.
Depolution,
Because she is smart enough to know that everything she herself says is a lie, and we all know it.
Too bad you aren't the second in command ....oh welll
I totally agree about the +130 IQ reference. I like to call it “deep thinking”. I smelled a rat within one hour of the killer vaccine nonsense.
I smelled a rat when the hysteria was just getting whipped up and the first lockdowns perpetrated.
Propaganda started shouting, "OMG we had no plan for a pandemic!!!1!!" Whereupon I hit the CDC website, searched around for a bit, found the long-established plan for a pandemic (we definitely had one), read said plan, and realized it recommended doing more or less the exact opposite of what the Covid tyrants wanted to do.
Same here, smelled same rat in December 2019 when they started mentioning “Covid” .
That rat gets around!
As a former San Francisco resident, Fauci lied about AZT drug as a treatment for AIDS. Pfizer was also the drug company administering experimental drug to black WWII soldiers. Pfizer was forced to admit its involvement in 1984. Gates is a monster too. Saying NO was the greatest decision I’ve ever made.
It’s unbelievable that they have not been stopped. Fauci should’ve been arrested in the 80s. The atrocities to those poor soldiers is completely inexcusable, and who ever harmed or killed them, should have been prosecuted for murder or attempted murder. Our leaders are evil to allow this to happen.
As you clearly point out these "researchers" were willing to fool themselves as were the mildly intelligent among us but the highly intelligent, and the below average intelligence people who also refused the jabs in large numbers, know that you can't fool reality ....... ever.
First thing to consider is who made the study and why.
"We examine the relationship between cognitive ability and prompt COVID-19 vaccination using individual-level data on more than 700,000 individuals in Sweden. We find a strong positive association between cognitive ability and swift vaccination, which remains even after controlling for confounding variables with a twin-design. The results suggest that the complexity of the vaccination decision may make it difficult for individuals with lower cognitive abilities to understand the benefits of vaccination. Consistent with this, we show that simplifying the vaccination decision through pre-booked vaccination appointments alleviates almost all of the inequality in vaccination behavior."
1 This study is suspect because it seems the author is making a case that people with "lower" IQ have difficult making complex decisions and therefore need "help" to make the right decision. Maybe this study was financed by the World Economic Forum and the authors are drug pushers. The gullibility of just taking some persons word for something is the whole point here isn't it.
2 People who are young and in the military may lack real world experience in spite of their intelligence. Having been born with above average intelligence and developed common sense finally after many years of hardcore headbanging I'll say common sense is very highly rated both in terms of success and survivability. Warren Buffett on intelligence and emotional maturity:
"... legendary billionaire investor Warren Buffett says that investors with IQ over 150 may be better off selling 30 points away. “If you have a 150 IQ, sell 30 points to someone else. You need to be smart, but not a genius,” Warren Buffett is often quoted as saying. In fact, Warren Buffett places more emphasis on rationality and emotional stability. “Investing is not a game where the guy with the 160 IQ beats the guy with a 130 IQ. Rationality is essential,” says the Oracle of Omaha. In the preface to the ‘Intelligent Investor’ penned by his mentor Benjamin Graham, Warren Buffett notes, “To invest successfully does not require a stratospheric IQ, unusual business insights, or inside information. What’s needed is a sound intellectual framework for making decisions and the ability to keep emotions from corroding the framework.”
Sir Isaac Newton after initially making money investing in a South Seas venture, sold his shares at a profit and then swept along my the enthusiasm of those who were continuing to buy again bought shares in the same company and incurred a substantail loss when the value dropped. After his great loss he exclaimed, “I can calculate the motions of the heavenly bodies, but not the madness of the people.”
3 People who are told they are intelligent and perceive themselves as intelligent could be more susceptible to lies from people they perceive to be intelligent and authoritative as they would like to perceive themselves to be. Nobody likes to perceive the world as a mine field, but in fact knowing the things that can hurt you is more important than believing the things that make you feel good so it's more important to be humble regardless of your intelligence, position or power and realize the world is based on avarice, greed and psychopathology. Conclusion, you should never or rarely trust anyone or their studies, but do your own independent investigation. Common sense could ultimately be more important than high intelligence.
4 Some peoples intelligence is highly specialized. Further proof of this is shown by the facts that Pfizer has been convicted multiple times of fraud and assessed billion dollar penalties. Many people have been killed and disabled all over the world by vaccines, people with good general intelligence should know this but highly specialized people with high intelligence may not be aware of the implications of fact patterns outside their field.
I suspect the results of the study and the motives. There are many character and personality traits that are just as important in addition to intelligence which I believe is highly important but generally more useful in conjunction with a constellation of other emotional and social skills. People should make their own medical decisions and realize they are just a quanitifiable "market" to psychopathological pharma executives and agencies of government.

Been using fenbendazole (paste) topically on basal cell carcinoma. Only2-3 days so far but seems to be having an effect. Also putting mashed up habanero peppers (capsaicin) on skin and in soup once a day. Discovered I really like hot food.
Having worked with my share of campaigns we always factor in the be a good person bias in polls. Campaigns to raise taxes for a proclaimed community good always poll much higher than the actual results. Overestimating support by about 8-15%. A lot of people don't want to sound selfish. But look in their wallet in the private voting booth. Sames.
