Wow -- it's downright refreshing to hear about a nurse basically telling a teen "Your dad's right, and don't let anybody pressure you into taking this shot." Wonderful to have a nurse educating a teen about medical coercion and how to handle it!
I agree about getting out of Maskland. I got a shock today when a friend (an intelligent, strongly left-leaning, activist friend) in southern California posted a video she made at her child's 8th grade graduation. The friend and her spouse were both wearing masks -- thick, heavy-duty, tight-fighting cloth masks -- even before they got out of their car. I could see that the friend has to work hard at breathing with the mask on her face.
And every dang person in the video, indoors and outdoors, was wearing a mask -- all the parents, the graduates' younger siblings, the other relatives, the school personnel, and worst of all, every one of the graduating eighth graders. Thick, heavy-duty, tight-fighting cloth masks seemed to be the rule. Only a few people were wearing disposable medical-type masks which -- bad as they are -- are leaky enough that at least you don't have to struggle for every breath.
I can't get over seeing so many people wearing these horrible, restrictive, unhealthy things like it's NORMAL and NECESSARY. And inflicting this on kids. Lordy, it was hideous.
Are mask mandates still a thing in California? Or southern California? I live in a different state where masks are now required only in medical facilities. When I go anywhere else and see someone wearing a mask, I think "Well, there's somebody who's delusional."
2) From Cleveland, it’s fascinating that you claim there are actual places where people are still predominantly masking. Out here thats only something whispered - stories of far off exotic places still donning the FFS. Amazing.
I went salmon fishing on a large lake I live near and have an intense backyard growing all types of food, so I don't have to go a long distance to get out. I'm already out.
Killing a few birds with one stone (high gasoline prices and food shortages).
Face diapers have returned here en masse. They all seem to be using the NK95 masks (which are just as effective as all of the other ones). No one said anything to me about it, even on election day when so many people were wearing them. My face is diaper-free. People seem to be afraid of monkeypox here. Aren't there still well under 100 cases here in the US? Here in New Mexico, we have lots of rocket surgeons...
If you plan on doing some winter camping in RMNP make sure you enter at a trail head that has the FREE camping permits. Otherwise you might spend a couple hours the next morning chatting with some friendly rangers who advise you not to make any sudden moves toward your hatchet. Beautiful park though. Also, a bowl of flame broiled sausage is the real breakfast of champions
You have mountains that look like that??? OMG- I couldn’t even imagine such magnificence, being East -bound for all my years. And really neat animals,too. Wow!
I was injured two weeks after the 2nd schmaxxine. Left leg was paralyzed for 5 days. 8 visits with an acupuncturist sorted me out. Some tingling in my left foot but fully mobile, thanks.
This shit is poison. Period. FDA released the Pfizer studies 3 months ago. 1 pt. font, single spaced, 8 pages of side effects and deaths. Oh yeah, no placebo groups were used. Cheers!
Alex Berenson was looking in to a shift in the pediatric approach to vaccination. Apparently your experience is becoming more common. I hope so. My two youngest are do for their annual in August and I am dreading it. Last year their doctor asked me why I didn't want them vaccinated. I told him I was concerned about the risk of myocarditis. He responded "none of this (referring to his mask) goes away until everybody takes it", and walked away. I was pretty stunned. We will not be going back to him but I am still concerned about what will get next.
Could not agree more! And I'm so happy there were normal people in CO. Blue zones have lost their minds. In December '20 I drove to Florida from Vermont and almost immediately, the further South I got, the more normalcy there was. I mean, upstate NY was already less nuts.
I’ve told parents during that awkward question we have to ask in the ER…it’s inappropriate for children. Say it all the time. If my patient is an adult and they answer “no”, my reply is “cool” and immediately on to the next question.

Thanks Chris, I realized that the reason I enjoy your Substack columns so much is because you’re so NORMAL! And it reminds me that I’m pretty NORMAL, and there are a lot of other NORMAL folks out there, too. We need your reminders…they’re very important in the fight to retain our sanity! Keep ‘em coming.
At $5gal national average, it seems pretty clear to me, the blue zone that is DC is invested in the idea that our ability to get out of the city is killing the planet.
I live in a Red region of a very Blue state. It is ABSOLUTELY true. I travel to the CCP regions and chuckle because the face diapers and wild eyes are everywhere. In my town, dr. offices have stopped asking stupid COVID status questions- around December they just stopped acknowledging COVID exists. I love my town- but shhhhh keep it quiet because it can slide away if brain-wormed sheeple move in...

And sad.
Chris, come with me on a Sliding Doors thought experiment.
Cuomo and Kamala expressed reservations about the Trump Warp Speed vaccines.
Pelosi, Biden, and Anthony Freaking Fauci all said mandates were off the table.
Trump lost or was robbed, whichever, and magically those same shitty exp. mRNA injections ran back in the lockerrom and switched jerseys to Team Blue.
What if Trump wins and he pushes those same shitty jabs and mandates?
Does Blue State California, NY, et. al. suddenly hate the injections? Follow the actual science?
Does it flip?
💕💕💕D3💕💕💕
& the breakfast looks yummy.

A good song for driving or running too. Drives on hard if turned up to 11.
