Perhaps the most nefarious thing LDS Church leaders have done since 1852 was when Russell Nelson, Dallin Oaks, and Henry Eyring issued an official statement urging all latter-day Saints to receive the COVID-19 vaccination, insisting that these vaccines "have been proven to be both safe and effective."
The first problem with that statement is this: the claim that the vaccines have been proven safe and effective was known, even at that time, to be demonstrably false. These vaccines were given emergency authorization precisely because no studies had been done that remotely established them as either safe or effective. They had never been tested, therefore never proven.
The second problem is this: historically, every time the Church hierarchy has issued these statements, they become the official doctrine for the Church. Members of the Church have been raised to believe that such declarations were given to the president through revelation from God himself, because we have been taught that the voice of the prophet is the voice of God. Yet we know that God is not a liar.
President Russell Nelson, a former physician who was quite capable of researching the background of the Covid vaccine, would have known the vaccines have never been proven "safe and effective." The idea itself is laughable to anyone who has had even a passing familiarity with the vaccine's development. Nelson also most certainly knows that the general membership of the Church believes he was ordained to his position as president, and those members also believe -mistakenly, it turns out- that God ordained Russell to be His mouthpiece on the earth.
Two years and thousands of deaths later, a growing number of people -Mormons included- are coming to realize that the Covid vaccine and its numerous boosters are turning out to have been quite dangerous. But thanks to a media blackout, not everyone has yet gotten the word. However, all that is about to change. The impetus for that change began less than a week ago.
Enter The Charlatan
As you are doubtless aware, a fellow by the name of Dr. Peter Hotez is one of the vaccine establishment's biggest cheerleaders and a tireless crusader against those who would dare question their efficacy. He would like to see every person in the world vaccinated, by force if necessary. Hotez is constantly on all the major news shows denouncing those who are questioning the safety of Covid vaccine as "dangerous conspiracy theorists." He positions himself as a selfless crusader for the good of mankind; but as it turns out, he has personally profited off the vaccines to the tune of tens of millions of dollars and is not too happy now that demand for his product has been tapering off.
Podcaster Joe Rogan has a show that draws in excess of eleven million listeners per episode, a number many times the size of any news program. Well, not long ago Rogan had Peter Hotez on his show as a guest. Hotez, whose entire reason for being is to convince everyone in the world of the importance of getting vaccinated multiple times, took that opportunity to denounce the people who he claimed were spreading "misinformation" about the vaccine. This has to stop, Hotez declared. He insisted the science is settled and all the skeptics are dangerous and must be silenced, if not arrested and imprisoned for their crimes of holding unauthorized opinions.
So next thing you know, Rogan invites Robert F. Kennedy, Jr on the show and we get a completely different take on the vaccine science. Kennedy, who is extremely well informed on the subject of vaccines, cited the voluminous evidence proving that Dr. Hotez and his ilk are, to put it kindly, all wet. It is they who are posing a danger to mankind.
Rogan asked Kennedy if anyone has ever debated him on this stuff, and Kennedy replied, "No one will debate me." You can watch that full three hour interview HERE and believe me, it's worth your time.
So this is where things started to get interesting. After JFK, Jr's appearance on the Joe Rogan Show, Peter Hotez publicly complained that Spotify should take Rogan's show off the internet because it was full of lies and misinformation. So Rogan had an idea. He tweeted an invitation for Hotez to come back onto his show, this time with RFK, Jr so the two of them could hash it out, and he sweetened the offer with a $100,000 dollar donation to the charity of Hotez's choice. All Hotez has to do is simply come on the show and debunk Kennedy's allegations. Should be a piece of cake, right, since Kennedy's been doing nothing but spewing misinformation?
Well, for some strange reason Hotez didn't want to take that opportunity. It didn't take long before Elon Musk pledged an additional ton of money for the charity and so did a slew of other podcasters, upping the donation amount to where the offer now stands in the millions of dollars for Hotez to give to any charity of his choice. (Click Here for the list of who has pledged so far, along with the amounts offered.)
Peter Hotez is connected to more than one children's charity, so you know he could make good use of that money. But how does Hotez respond to the invitation? Well, he made a series of lame excuses and when he ran out of reasons he started making like Ralph Kramden whenever someone called his bluff:
The world is finally discovering that "Doctor" Peter Hotez is a transparent fraud. He is quick to call anyone who disagrees with him "misinformation specialists" but, like Dr. Tony Fauci, he seems unable to back up his claims with any scientific evidence. He's clearly afraid to go up against someone who might be armed with actual knowledge.
This Should End It
So why am I saying this controversy may mark the nail in the coffin for the entire vaccine scam?
Because word is getting out. This offer made to Peter Hotez is all over the internet, and people are beginnng to wonder: Why is Hotez so obviously afraid to challenge RFK, Jr on the evidence? If Hotez has all the science on his side, he should be in a position to absolutely humiliate Kennedy just by citing the studies, right? Hotez should be able to easily slam Kennedy and all the other conspiracy theorists and misinformation specialists right into the ground once and for all, shouldn't he? So why won't Hotez take Rogan up on such a generous offer?
I think Elon Musk said it best: "He's afraid of a public debate because he knows he's wrong."
Now, this is key: this entire controversy could never have gained traction if Twitter was still under its old management, because the discussion would have been nipped in the bud by the censors at the old Twitter the moment Joe Rogan or Robert Kennedy spoke up in response. You may never have known there even was a dispute about the lack of science concerning Covid. But now? Now the story is never going away. It will only get bigger and bigger until every American with a brain comes to realize that the Covid vaccine and all its variants never were "safe and effective" but are actually demonstrably dangerous. Everyone, Mormons included, will finally be questioning the status quo, and that will be a good thing. As the Lord tells us in Luke 12: 2-3, everything that is done in darkness will eventually come to light. Nothing can be hidden forever; the truth will eventually be revealed.
Peter Hotez and everyone else who spews false allegations willy-nilly seems to have forgotten one thing: people with contrary opinions are no longer being silenced. You can't just continue to make outrageous claims and not expect someone to challenge you on them; you're going to have to put up or shut up. And if you shrink and cower like Peter Hotez, the whole world will know about it.
But rather than my trying to explain this entertaining adventure myself, allow me to defer to this episode of The Rubin Report where you can see all the clips you'll need in order to realize that those who claim to speak for science on this issue are complete frauds. The episode below is 50 minutes with commercials, so if you have to skip the commercials, go ahead, but I implore you: please do not miss this. It's loads of fun to watch.
Also, if you want to enjoy some laugh-out-loud entertainment, here are traditional liberal comedians Jimmy Dore and Kurt Metsger making fun of Peter Hotez for all the times Hotez kept changing his story:
Well, that's it for now. Except I guess it's worth noting for those who are not aware: Robert F. Kennedy, Jr is running for President. Just like his famous father and uncle (for those of you who don't follow the news, that was Robert F. Kennedy and President John F Kennedy, both of whom were assassinated in the '60s), Robert Junior is running as a Democrat. Wanna guess how frightened the current Democratic establishment is about his candidacy? Well, seeing as RFK, Jr is a traditional democrat and the current crop are evil illiberal fascists determined to stamp out traditional liberalism, you would be right if you guessed the current crop are really, really scared. Because they know that the legions of Democratic voters who still embrace traditional liberalism are very likely to favor a Kennedy for president over the doddering old disaster currently being pushed on them as their only choice.
You bet they're frightened: you can see it in the way they are frantically trying to get you to look away. As you can see from Tucker Carlson's latest commentary, those attempts are not working. Click Here to see Tucker explain "Why Bobby Kennedy Is Winning."

And on the futility of Americans dividing themselves into "Right" and "Left" political factions:
Robert F. Kennedy Jr is legal counsel with Children's Health Defense. If you would like to see why the Left really fears him, watch the four minute video on the front page of their internet site.
"Peter Hotez's War Against Science" (as referred to in the Jimmy Dore/Kurt Metsger discussion above) can be found HERE. Essential reading for understanding the sociopathic mindset.
Please note (please, please, please) I'm continuing to post new content on my other blog, which is devoted to less serious topics (f'rinstance the horrendous singing of this guy pictured on the left). That blog is picking up readers, but you wouldn't know it because there is very little activity in the comments sections. Do me a favor and say something so I don't feel like I'm talking to myself over there, will you? You'll Find it by clicking HERE.
UPDATE July 5th 2023:
This is cutting it close, timewise, but I wanted to announce that there is a Remnant Young Adult Fellowship taking place near Teton National Park in Wyoming. Although they have already reached maximum capacity, they would still love to fellowship with others ages 18-33 over Zoom. Email Remnantyafellowship@gmail.com
Good post, but I think there is a bigger issue here. It's an issue of ethics.
ReplyDeleteThey just couldn't resist asking the membership to drink the Flavor-Aid to build their golden calf. No wonder Moroni got shook off the Temple.
This post was fascinating Rock. Thank you for using your writing talent so wisely. I really loved the Dave Rubin video! Wanted to watch Jimmy Dore too, but my battery is nearly dead. Tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteMore and more scientists are also speaking out about how germ theory as a whole is one big fraud. Take that away and vaccine "science" has nothing to stand on.
ReplyDeleteYou must also check out Matt Orfalea's mashup of Hotez's nonsense on YouTube. Like his other work, it is definitely not to be missed.
ReplyDeleteThanks for that tip, about Matt Oralea's mashup, Aredesuyo. Is that what Jimmy Dore and Kurt are having fun with in the clip I included? Of course, Jimmy paused often in order to mock and comment, but I wouldn't mind seeing that mashup as a standalone. Can you tell us where to find it? (I have found Oralea's Twitter page but it looks like he has posted various clips of Hotez which are very informative, but I don't readily see that mashup.)
ReplyDeleteDave P, I have seen some compelling arguments alleging that the whole germ theory is faulty as you suggest. Certainly food for thought and grounds for further research on my part.
Connie, I'm glad you're now finally reading your own husband's blog the same day it's posted!
ReplyDeleteAlso happy to see you've also been reading my other blog, but PLEASE stop walking around here singing the Boy Wonder song! You know how much that annoys me.
Here's a link to Orfalea's Hotez video (which is his latest): https://youtu.be/Sj6-QDVYbv8
ReplyDeleteThe rest of his YouTube channel is a treasure trove of hilarity.
Hey Rock and Everyone: Here is a song for your to hum and sing during your day. I love this one! Please check it out!

I think the real issue isn't the "vaccine dilemma" with the President of the LDS Church and its upper echelon of "Christ-led" leadership. The truth is they aren't led by Christ or even following his precepts. Christ didn't shun people for their in-belief or for questioning his motivations or actions.
ReplyDeleteIn Matthew 24:35, it states: “Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.”
Our Heavenly Father and his son, Jesus Christ, are not changeable beings. Their words do not move or change for convenience, popularity shifts or political motivations. As in Isaiah 40:8 “The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever.”
Too many times the President(s) of the LDS Church, many of them, have set or changed doctrine upon a whim to meet their own expectations. These individuals in the leadership are high in their own narcissism, like cult leaders, often inflating their own sense of importance and behave in ways that are destructive to others. Narcissistic leaders claim to be innately good, possessing special wisdom, answerable to no one, with no one above them—not even Christ.
From polygamy to racism, gender bias to sexism, ignoring sexual and physical abuse by parishioners, and turning the LDS Church into the Bank of the LDS Church… the list of various criticism keeps expanding year upon year. And in this case, members are told what “the Church” wants them to do is for their own good, even if it is self-destructive.
Shame, guilt, coercion, and fear appeals will usually keep members in line. They are taught to discount their own intuition and healthy instincts in favor of their leader’s doctrine and teachings. Over time, members can lose touch with their healthy habits and innate values.
With the Covid vaccines, this is no longer a conspiracy theory or misinformation. People will die needlessly due to the recommendations of the “experimental gene therapy” ordered and enforced by leadership like Dr. Anthony Fauci, Dr. Peter Hotez, and Dr. Russel L. Nelson--the President of the LDS Church.
Maybe we should ask Jamie Foxx about his “medical complication” regarding his personal experience with his post-Covid fully vaccinated health? There are so many others where their stories are being suppressed by “main-stream media and social networking sites.”
The experts don’t want to talk about the “after effects” of the vaccine they forced upon the majority of Americans and our children. Primarily, we are talking about Myocarditis and pericarditis, Thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome, Guillain-Barré syndrom, and even Anaphylaxis Shock.
Does anyone wonder how many pregnancies were lost over their recommendations? What they would have meant to our society and culture?
I’m sorry if it seems like I’m on a soap box… I find Alan Rock Waterman assessment to be spot on and I wanted to add my support. Thanks Rock!

Janet & Rock,
ReplyDeleteLeaders of the LDS church have shown us who they love. They have shown us who they obey. It is the "wise and thoughtful" government officials. Furthermore, each of us who challenged our church leaders on the error of trusting the "arm of flesh" learned that our desire to exercise Faith in the True and Living God was not appreciated. We were scolded. We were shunned. We were told to conform to a lie. Trial brings blessing and my eyes have been opened. It is a marvelous wonder to experience the fulfillment of prophecy and know it is a sign of the Lord's work coming to pass:
"It shall come in a day when it shall be said that miracles are done away... And it shall come in a day when the blood of saints shall cry unto the Lord, because of secret combinations and the works of darkness. Yea, it shall come in a day when the power of God shall be denied, and churches become defiled and be lifted up in the pride of their hearts." Mormon 8:26-28
Janet, thanks for the link to that infectious song; I just started my day with that joyful melody in my head. Thanks also for your astute comments. You are spot-on. As for wondering how many pregnancies were lost due to that vaccine: it's too bad very few people were allowed to hear the experts who warned that the vaccine destroys the placenta in the womb of most women, who will forevermore experience miscarriages where they were expecting to know the joy of motherhood.
ReplyDeleteDan,
ReplyDeletea day when "churches have become defiled" certainly describes our day alright. I marvel at how, as I was growing up, I believed the Church I was a member of would stand forever as the only beacon of truth instead of the blatant vessel of Satan it turned in to.
Ardeseyo, THAT'S the link I was looking for! Both informative and highly entertaining. Thanks very much!
ReplyDeleteThank you for taking the time to write this. Always look forward to your posts!! Interesting times.
ReplyDeleteGreat show , as ever. Many thanks for the effort you make every time. You are always spot on.
ReplyDeleteI knew the presidency was lying about the vaccines, right from the start. These people are not to be trusted.
May the Lord bless you and your family. I keep looking out for your posts.
An interesting historical tidbit:
ReplyDeleteText from François Bonivard (1493-1570), "Chronicles of Geneva", second volume, pages 395 - 402:
"When the bubonic plague struck Geneva in 1530, everything was ready. They even opened a whole hospital for the plague victims. With doctors, paramedics and nurses. The traders contributed, the magistrate gave grants every month. The patients always gave money, and if one of them died alone, all the goods went to the hospital.
But then a disaster happened: the plague was dying out, while the subsidies depended on the number of patients. There was no question of right and wrong for the Geneva hospital staff in 1530. If the plague produces money, then the plague is good. And then the doctors got organized.
At first, they just poisoned patients to raise the mortality statistics, but they quickly realized that the statistics didn't have to be just about mortality, but about mortality from plague. So they began to cut the boils from the bodies of the dead, dry them, grind them in a mortar and give them to other patients as medicine. Then they started dusting clothes, handkerchiefs and garters. But somehow the plague continued to abate. Apparently, the dried buboes didn't work well. Doctors went into town and spread bubonic powder on door handles at night, selecting those homes where they could then profit. As an eyewitness wrote of these events, "this remained hidden for some time, but the devil is more concerned with increasing the number of sins than with hiding them."
In short, one of the doctors became so impudent and lazy that he decided not to wander the city at night, but simply threw a bundle of dust into the crowd during the day. The stench rose to the sky and one of the girls, who by a lucky chance had recently come out of that hospital, discovered what that smell was.
The doctor was tied up and placed in the good hands of competent "craftsmen." They tried to get as much information from him as possible. However, the execution lasted several days. The ingenious hippocrats were tied to poles on wagons and carried around the city. At each intersection the executioners used red-hot tongs to tear off pieces of meat. They were then taken to the public square, beheaded and quartered, and the pieces were taken to all the districts of Geneva.
The only exception was the hospital director's son, who did not take part in the trial but blurted out that he knew how to make potions and how to prepare the powder without fear of contamination. He was simply beheaded "to prevent the spread of evil".
