‘Fifteen days to stop the spread’ turned into an eternity. March 29, 2020, is a day that should live in infamy. The national mitigation plan against Covid-19, “15 days to stop the spread,” was about to expire. In the Rose Garden, President Trump declared that lockdowns would continue for another 30 days. I tweeted: “President Trump just lost the election.” When Mr. Trump announced his 2024 campaign Tuesday, he didn’t apologize for the lockdowns or even mention them. I supported him in 2016, and during his tenure he did much to dredge the political swamps, but his decision to approve and…

WH COVID Advisor Andy Slavitt privately messaged Twitter to take down Alex Berenson’s account — what else did he do? On March 1, 2021, a group of MIT students and Ph.D. candidates put together a set of visuals and deep “analysis” takes based on Twitter interactions around COVID. In one section they call out the ring leaders of the “Anti-Maskers Network” — yours truly, Alex Berenson, our own team reality collages El Gato, HOLD2, Kerpen, Gummi Bear, Kyle Lamb, Jordan Schlachtel, Clay Travis and Ethical Skeptic. From the report: The anti-mask network comprises over 2,500 users (9% of the whole network)…

A new batch of incriminating emails obtained through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request unveiled to the public today show how the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and social media giants have worked together to censor ordinary Americans. As Justin Hart at Rational Ground reports: American First Legal published documents which they received via FOIA to the CDC trying to uncover collusion with Facebook, Twitter, Google and other Big Tech Firms. Those of you who have been following us know that I’ve had my own lawsuit waylaid for lack of evidence – because the government keeps dragging their feet…

“We’re in a pattern now. If somebody says, ‘You’ll leave when we don’t have COVID anymore,’ then I will be 105.” -Dr. Fauci Politico is reporting this morning that Dr. Anthony Fauci, the longtime head of the NIAID, the Chief Medical Advisor to the President, the architect of the COVID-19 pandemic response, the highest paid federal employee in the history of the United States, is set to retire at the end of President Biden’s term. I hope he steels himself for a barrage of questions. We have many and we are gathering signatures to demonstrate citizens will no longer tolerate this nonsense:…

We spend a good deal of time on this Substack articulating the vast array of negative consequences of lockdowns on society. As I note in my upcoming book: Many of those who joined Rational Ground and what we came to call Team Reality had similar experiences. Life isn’t always fair, and we adults are willing to bear with the challenges foisted on us, but when the government’s insane rules harm our children, watch out. Below are links to some of the more prominent impacts we’ve cataloged against children from the egregious policies foisted on families during the pandemic. We’ll be discussing…

There is no Cliffs Notes version of why we are experiencing these supply chain issues across the world. A host of influences have combined to create a massive disruption to everyday life and the things we buy to sustain it. Baby formula is one of those things. My wife Jenny was recently on Fox News discussing the supply and how it impacts us (pictures of the kids during the b-roll too!) https://twitter.com/justin_hart/status/1524114710223749120?s=20&t=PN3HuXStg8cv5EGYF07jkA Jenny wrote about her experience on The Federalist today. She notes that the Biden administration has been almost totally silent on this issue. Or take the infamous toilet paper runs…

With the overturning of the CDC’s mask mandate, it’s a good moment to catalog what we’ve been saying for two years now. We’ve written quite a bit over the past two years about masks at Rational Ground. With mask mandates falling faster than an Omicron Gompertz curve, we thought it might be useful to review some of the best-of info from Rational Ground around mask-wearing. Your Mask Study Cheatsheet – 12 studies and articles about the fecklessness of masking society and childrenThe Impact of Wearing Masks – It isn’t just a harmless face diaper. There are certain consequences to repeated use of…

Our intrepid analyst Jean Rees is pouring over the newly released documents and has some interesting findings. Pfizer recently released a swath of documents after being forced to escalate its release schedule from 75 years to 72 hours. Here. We. Go! TL;DR. If you’ve been infected with COVID-19 previously and recovered your antibody titers are pretty robust (titers are a measure of your immune system’s antibodies to ward off COVID) . The younger you are the more robust those titers are sustained. If that person is then vaccinated those titers can go “tilt” and form “immune complexes” which could cause problems. One of the…

You won’t believe what’s in this crazy memo from Biden’s polling firm. Impact Research is one of the top left-leaning strategy and polling firms in D.C. They recently crafted a memo to Democrats about the current state of COVID politics. The memo was originally published on PunchBowl.news. Full memo published below! Right from the get-go this document will make you throw up in your mouth a little (or a lot). “After two years that necessitated lockdowns, travel bans, school closures, mask mandates and nearly a million deaths…” Stop right there. There was nothing axiomatic or necessary about any of this. So…

New York Times uncovers (admits) that the CDC is a political machine more concerned about appearances than actual data. We’ve been saying for over a year now that the CDC has been less than forthcoming in its export of valuable data. We KNOW they have a LOT more information than they currently reveal around vaccinations, hospitalizations, and mortality. They just don’t want to share it. Why? Well, The New York Times this morning reports: Kristen Nordlund, a spokeswoman for the C.D.C., said the agency has been slow to release the different streams of data “because basically, at the end of the day,…
