Hi Sun,

I always really appreciate your perspective, and especially many of the interesting stories you have to tell. You always have good insight and parallels, and I very much respect your viewpoint. We happen to disagree about the vaccines, but that's ok, we're each entitled to our opinion, and only time will really bear this out. In my opinion, the approach taken was not for the greater good, nor does it continue to be. For example, with all we know now, to recommend the vaccines for children and young adults is irresponsible, if not criminal, imo. I'm sure I'll upset a lot of people by saying that.

I'm encouraged that some governments are starting to take this seriously, as witnessed by the German governments study of adverse events, and Denmark now halting the boosters for those under 50 (except with underlying conditions). I believe more will come out over time, but there's naturally a lot of psychological resistance to overcome, much like your 9/11 example you gave.

Anyhow, my responses were never meant to be targeted at you personally, but were just my overall observation. You are much sharper than most, and you should not take for granted that because you went in eyes open, that most others did as well. That this "internationally renowned virologist" is open in stating he just accepted the narrative without any critical thinking should prove that. After all, if a supposed expert in his field can think this way, what do you expect of Joe Six Pack?

I'll also take this occasion to say I really respect your posting of your trades, and the thinking behind them. I wish I possessed your skills, but I try to synthesize what I can from them, and maybe one day when I have more time to dedicate to investing, I'll be able to put it all to good use.

When the Twin Towers came down, I saw all of that asbestos in the air and burning all around. I thought the city was a superfund site after that day. I could not believe they let people in it. Just to clean all the asbestos requires special PPE, but they just let anyone walk around and spread the stuff everywhere and had everyone breathing it. It was so irresponsible.

I used to supply safety and abatement houses indirectly, so I had some know-how of what was needed to be around this stuff. The EPA makes workers wear all kinds of equipment to scrape it out of a school, but the government let anyone in south Manhattan breathe it during the fall of 2001.
