You ask: "What do you think—are we going to see a 1980s style epidemic with cuts to PEPFAR and other “HIV” funding sources?"

We might. I recently heard from folks in their early 20s how widespread popper is once again. They are all the rage at gay parties (involving sex). In certain circles, you receive a lanyard at the door with a pouch to hold your poppers. These folks are scared shitless that the current administration will make poppers illegal and stop the availability of PreP (they are mostly scared of RFK). The indoctrination (and addictions) run deep. If Duesberg's toxicology hypothesis holds any water, this could result in a new 1980s style epidemic, at least in the West.

Interesting natural experiment. They taking the pills everyday or just morning after?

"On-demand PrEP involves taking 2 pills, 2-24 hours before a possible sexual exposure to HIV and then continuing to take 1 pill each day until 2 days after their last possible sexual exposure."

“Hospitals will see a surge of people with Aids-related conditions…” that’s rich. I mean if even 1/8 to 1/4 of positive people don’t know their status or aren’t on arvs why isn’t this already happening.

And yes, the concept of “viral resistance” went out the door with the introduction PrEP. It’s like it was no longer a convenient thing so they stopped talking about it. Years ago I had a friend on “the cocktail” and we went on a trip requiring a flight. Well his luggage got lost as airlines are want to do, and so his “cocktail” was also now missing. He frantically called the airline to let them know his body would develop hiv resistance if he didn’t get them back. He ended up getting new meds at a local pharmacy the next day. But I remember how freaked he was about getting “viral resistance”.

The death cult has a huge grip on gay men, it’s so sad.

Yes, it blows my mind to see what a grip the death cult has on gay men. At every level, they tend to be the most loyal, most submissive clients and fervent believers, falling for every new gimmick or Ponzi scheme that the complex comes up with.

I wish we could edit our comments. I'm going to have to start using a text editor before posting. Phones are primitive as writing instruments under the best circumstances.

To clarify my comment: What I said back in the era of SARS was: "If they had an epidemic and never told anyone would they still have an epidemic?"

You can edit comments, it’s not quite obvious though.

Way way back when SARS was going to wipe out the human population, I was still traveling for work. I couldn't Walk 5 ft in any airport without seeing TV screen after TV screen blaring out the same message that "The sky is falling SARS os going to kill us all‼️"

The story went that it originated in Hong Kong. I was actually flying with people from Hong Kong and still I didn't get the SARS, I didn't know anyone who got it, I didn't know anyone who knew anyone who got it. But just like "the AIDS", it had something to do with getting it from the monkeys.

Now, I met The Monkeys in the mid-60s and said I found that hard to believe ... certainly not Davey Jones or Mike Nesbitt. Besides, I continued, their show had been off the air for decades.🙀

At that point, the one who assured me they knew everything, informed me that:

1: I'm an idiot

2: these were REESE'S monkeys

...so I wondered out loud if they tasted the same as the peanut butter cups ... which I LOVE.

And as my self-appointed instructor turned a shade approaching eggplant and possibly a stroke, he began raving about "MACAQUES, IT COMES FROM MACAQUES" which sounded to me like "my cock" and I told him I doubted he could be blamed for all of it... but he'd better stop fucking the monkeys or he might get a touch of the AIDS.

I did have a point when I began this soliloquy, which was, at the time of SARS and all that rigmarole carrying on, I put forth a question, "If they had an epidemic and never told anyone If they would still have an epidemic?"

This reminds me to "healthy user bias" but in reverse.

Definition from wikitionary: "A potential bias in epidemiologic studies, involving the fact that subjects who voluntarily enroll in a clinical trial and actually follow the experimental regimen are likely to be healthier than the general population."

I'm guessing this definition means the hypochondriacs who seek actively to participate in studies are healthier than average before offering up themselves as lab rats.

In reverse motion: what if some of the people who wisely reject AIDS drugs and vigilance are actually healthier than average and they don't want to waste their efforts at being healthy by listening to old rich white moral busybodies pushing drugs on them?

Would the "journalists" ever begin to consider that people have a right to just say no to drugs?

I have a (dark) joke: A science journalist, an epidemiologist and a reformed rabbi enter into a bar, and by the end of the joke there is an agreement to sell AIDS drugs to Palestinians before the next bombing of the IDF, so that they are protected and die healthy. It's the least they can do!

I could not comment on the post about the last time of your father as I'm currently not paid subscriber.

I had some similar experience with my mother who lived last years,immobilized, in care institution until she died june 2022.

Not as traumatizing but weird. I refused to wear mask when I visited her ( did not wear mask for a second during the covid event )and was refusert onde because of that. Painful to see the employees suffer with their masks. Certainly bad for my mother to be treated by mumies instead of human etc.

If I understand the timeline this was summer 2022?

That's weird too. I live in Norway and covid ended with Russian invasjon 24th february 2022. News switched from covid,covid,covid to Putin, Putin, Putin and that was that. Life went back to normal.

( "Funny" all Covid measures was dropped in Ukraina immediately after invasion but nothing happened like virus disappeared )

So its weird thinking you still did covid summer 2022.

Remember I flew to Australia march 2023 with stop in Qatar. They still did it! Stewardesses on Quatar Airlines and employees at the airport worked with masks ( none of the passengers weared masks )

It was like timemachine one year back and I felt sorry for them.

I thought I’d set that post to allow anyone to comment. That was an error on my part. Thanks.

"It’s curious that some of the mainstream sites say it’s OK to go on and off of PrEP (although ideally they’re expected to remain on it forever)—wouldn’t that, according to their own theory, cause a skyrocket in “drug resistance?”"

Funny how easy it seems for the true believers to ignore all the glitches in the matrix

In a piece for Nordic Model Now!, I explained why I regard "models" as science fiction that is often based on wishful thinking. https://nordicmodelnow.org/2023/10/05/why-the-un-is-wrong-to-recommend-that-all-countries-should-decriminalise-prostitution/
