COVID-19 Pandemic Quarantines and Mental Health Among Adolescents in Norway

This cohort study examines the association of mental health and the public health measures and quarantine experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic among Norwegian adolescents.

It's human to say to someone, "I disagree with you and here's why..." Iron sharpening iron.

It's dehumanizing for the powerful to say to the people, "I am The Science(tm), you have committed a misinformation, and I will marginalize you."

A president that deploys the bureaucracy to censor people and ideas he does not like cannot be said to be a defender of democracy. Such a president is actually a major threat to democracy.

Fauci and Collins poisoned the well of debate over lab leaks, social distancing, the vax, and lockdowns, causing untold damage to the public's health.
The primary sin of the public health establishment was unwarranted hubris in the name of science.

How Collins and Fauci Shattered Our Trust in Public Health | National Review

By seeking to hoard influence unto themselves, repeatedly misleading the public, and stifling opposing ideas, the duplicitous duo did a disservice to the country.

I'm grateful to the Reason foundation for honoring me with its Flame of Freedom award this year. It rightfully belongs to the millions of people censored in the name of public health by an government contemptuous of a basic civil right, free speech.

I have found the Jabberwock. It was tamer than I thought it would be. No jubjub bird to be found anywhere.

Important article by Ramesh Thakur, former deputy Secretary-General of the UN. The collapse in public confidence about vaccines is squarely due to vast overclaims by public health about the covid vaccines, unethical mandates, censorship, & coercion.

According to the Department of Health’s current report on vaccination status, in the last six months, only 3.5 per cent of 18-to-64-year-old Australians had received the Covid-19 booster.

There is no such thing as a short lockdown. Once a government implements one, it sets in motion a cycle of panic leading to pointless damaging actions, leading to more fear that takes years to unwind, if ever. 'Two weeks to flatten the curve' will always be a lie.

The big media 'fact checkers', the disinformation NGOs, and other cogs in the gov't censorship machine bear considerable blame for the school closures (and the learning loss that ensued), despite overwhelming evidence in 2020 and 2021 that they were a catastrophically bad idea.

"The Health Secretary has ordered a review of the vaccine compensation scheme after a surge in claims following the pandemic.

It comes amid concern that the scheme is struggling to cope after becoming overwhelmed by a huge volume of claims from those suffering side-effects after Covid vaccines" The Telegraph
