In July 2021, I wrote about the quest for truth in our worldwide battle against the SARS CoV-2 virus and the resultant COVID-19 illness I am neither a physician, medical professional, nor a scientist, so nothing I write should be construed as medical advice or peer-reviewed opinion. I am a college-educated, “mature” American citizen who strives to stay informed and actively seeks alternative sources of information, and occasionally consumes the evening’s propaganda ministry broadcasts to keep up with their side of the story. I consider myself able to understand and apply fundamental scientific concepts, principles, and laws to daily life. After observing what is happening—the never-ending hysteria, the fearmongering, the stifling of any dissent to the approved “narrative”—it is time to start asking more simple, honest questions.

I cannot begin to tell you how many times I have engaged those who tenaciously adhere to the approved narrative about our medical establishment’s response to the pandemic and have been told “you are not a scientist, you don’t understand.” I conversed with a doctoral degree candidate at a major university. She disagreed so vehemently with the medical doctors who have decades of experience and are in positions of immense responsibility at medical centers across the country, that she called them “quacks” because they supported the preventive and therapeutic use of Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and Ivermectin (IVM). To this Ph. D candidate, who called herself a “scientist,” IVM is an antiparasitic only and a “horse de-wormer” that should never, ever be prescribed to humans.

Would the reader agree that it has become particularly tiresome hearing from all the “experts” who continue to be wrong and continue to move the goalposts? For me, it is especially infuriating that the responses to the simple, honest questions are usually ad hominem attacks instead of rational, reasoned, respectful, and honest discussions about the issues at hand.

Since when is “the science” ever “settled?” Since when is “the science” a consensus? Since when does a scientist ever—ever!—stop asking questions, not only to prove a hypothesis, but also in an honest and courageous attempt to disprove it and, by proving that hypothesis wrong, to advance scientific inquiry? Doesn’t the scientific method employ both strategies to arrive at the most accurate outcomes and the more certain knowledge? Isn’t that the best “science?”

Given that our knowledge is neither infallible nor immutable, why are we routinely expected to accept “the science” as infallible and immutable, i.e., “settled?”

It is a fact that those who have had both shots, plus the booster, are testing positive for COVID and are getting sick.

Can we now conclude the virus has mutated and is escaping the “vaccine?” Can we now conclude that widely administering the mRNA vaccines to the general population, instead of limited distribution to those at highest risk, has been a failed strategy? Can we now conclude that the SARS CoV-2 virus has mutated and each successive variant is less susceptible to the “vaccine,” and may be making vaccine recipients more susceptible to becoming sick with COVID?
