Coercing People to Get COVID-19 Vaccines Is Damaging Trust in Public Health: Harvard Professor
The rapidly escalating pressure on many Americans to get a COVID-19 vaccine is undermining trust in public health, according to Martin Kulldorf, a professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School.

New York City became the first major metropolitan area in the United States this month to require proof of vaccination to enter numerous businesses, including gyms and restaurants. Other cities and states are imposing vaccine requirements on workers, including police officers and nurses.

“At best, it’s sort of a very coercive way to get people to vaccinate, and I think that’s very bad for public health,” Kulldorf, also a professor of medicine at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, told The Epoch Times’ “American Thought Leaders.”

COMMENTARY ON THE BELOW VIDEO:  Spoiler alert. Long term relationships aren’t a part of this equation in 2021.

Entrepreneurs in Cars (From Richard Cooper) is a great YouTube channel. I have been following this since 2018 and it has definitely helped me turn my life around, chalk up some wins and stay on my path and purpose.

I would also recommend Cooper’s recently released book ‘The Unplugged Alpha’ listed in the Red Pill Praxeology area of our Recommended Reading section here – BrandX.

USA: Anti-CRT Amendment Passes After Manchin Votes With Republicans
The Senate passed an amendment banning the use of federal funds to teach concepts associated with critical race theory (CRT) in primary and secondary education during a late night vote-a-rama.

COMMENTARY ON THE BELOW ARTICLE: I’ll once again strongly suggest the recently released book ‘Chaos Under Heaven: Trump, Xi, and the Battle for the Twenty-First Century’ (by Josh Rogin) on this topic, as listed in our Recommended Reading section here. 

So what’s the deal with the CCP? Let’s take a step back and address this.

As Rogin points out, it’s not just that China pose a threat though. It is that the kind of threat is unlike anything the USA has ever before faced. A powerful economy with coercive state driven industrial policies that distort and undermine the free market, married up with an aggressive military modernisation and the intent to dominate its own region and potentially beyond.

On the subject of China’s technology and intellectual property theft (between $300 and $600 billion a year) from the USA, Senator Marco Rubio stated in the article below: 

“They use venture capital funds to buy promising technology startups; they hide their ownership, by the way. They partner with universities on research and then they steal that research — often research whose seed funding came from the U.S. taxpayer. They force American companies doing business in China to give the technology over to them.

…They have weaponized our openness, they have weaponized our decency and they have weaponized a corporate lust for profits against us.

…China is already carrying out the biggest illegal wealth transfer from one nation to another in the history of mankind.”

To be clear, this is not a criticism of the Chinese people. The Chinese Communist Party government however is something else. As the aforementioned Josh Rogin has stated, it is militarily expansionist, totalitarian in its politics and economics, externally aggressive, internally repressive and increasingly interfering in democratic societies – BrandX. 

Media Ignore ‘Biggest Illegal Wealth Transfer…In The History Of Mankind,’ From U.S. To China
While the media frequently obsesses over the redistribution of wealth, they have ignored the Chinese government’s theft of U.S. technology, which has created “the biggest illegal wealth transfer” in world history. That is one of a number of startling facts that came to light during a rare, public hearing of the Senate Intelligence Committee last Wednesday.
