it sounds like most of the people at the meeting were capable of rational thought and have some ethics.

wonder how many there were like Hess and what their actual reason for attending was, as they clearly have no interest in the actual content

Excellent article. Thanks for being so brave and candid in your article and in your discussion with the head of the organization....but as you found out...yes, they don't care. They are detached from the ordinary person and falling right in line with the powers that be. They are not about to lose their jobs, their income, their titles, etc., their power and prestige. It isn't about medicine or the public. It's about them...their families, their kids' private educations, their wives having the homes they are in and going to yoga and getting their nails done. They have lost all contact with people and they are captured like the rest of the decaying pillars of our country, but this too is falling and people are discovering what these elite think we cannot see -just who they are and how much they don't care.

Brilliant. I had a child entering college at the time mandates were rolling over the country like a massive and unstoppable tidal wave. IU at another time would have been a highly regarded choice. But the absolute and oppressive hard line to their mandates meant that even if my child had begged to be allowed to attend IU, I would have refused to pay for it if attending meant they were forced to get injected.

An early lawsuit emerged against IU's mandates and I thought it was a travesty that it was struck down.

Likewise it was a travesty that those empowered to make such heavy and consequential decisions as to require others to inject themselves with a horrifying product remained, and apparently still remain, obtusely unconcerned about those consequences. And just as in 2021, they remain unwilling to hear or acknowledge what was so painfully obvious to those who live with their TVs OFF and instead paid attention to thoughtful and concerned experts who refused to be fooled by the onslaught of propaganda.

It was a time of fear and confusion. People willingly relinquished their judgement over to experts the TV deemed we should all listen to . No wonder the dean of IU's med school is aligned with liberal causes. The propaganda behind them has always been packaged up and delivered to the public in the same way COVID propaganda was - mainly through broadcast networks and affiliated social media. We deemed out of ignorance that we could trust major hospital system adninistrators to tell us what to do. Or the deans of prestigious medical schools. They were assigned public credibility while anyone raising caution flags and concerns was shredded in the mainstream information meat grinder.

It was dark. It was evil. The same information meat grinder extolling Saint Fauci was chewing up the desperate voices of the murdered and injured and spitting it into dark unseen corners.

I give you tremendous credit for approaching covidian decision makers and continuing to place hard truths before them. The response is telling. Does the virtue of marching in pride parades offset subconscious guilt for harming so many others?

It really was heartbreaking to see the lawsuit fail. I could only conclude at the time that judges, like so many others, had succumbed to the propaganda about the vaccine. But one cheery thought is that the excellent attorney who led that lawsuit is now a member of the IU Board of Trustees, and I think is going to be able to do some very good things.

Great job. So how do we get Dr. Kory in charge at IU Med?

We could email the trustees. Bdot@iu.edu They really need to know that a new dean of the medical school is sorely needed and that we need someone like Dr. Kory.

Who from Martinsville with a spouse killed by covid protocols is running for office? What branch, house or Senate?

It’s actually Mooresville. I made the change in the piece. Her name is Tina Turner. She’s running for the state House of Representatives, for the seat now held by Craig Haggard, who is running for Congress in Indiana’s 4th CD.

I can't speak for Dr. Kory, but as I also moved to Florida like he did recently, I doubt he'd want to leave. He would be great though.
