It's interesting how many posters on the old thread jumped to defend what was already, even back then, some pretty manipulative and weird behaviour. As someone else described it, his invocation of his mental health as a rhetorical weapon was “cartoonish”.

This professor, Dr Gigi Foster, thinks some of the executives, those who pushed the vaccines on people who were not in vulnerable groups, and who have side effects at higher rates than expected, will end up in jail. I think that’s a bit optimistic. Too many people in government are implicated for there to be any real accountability.
Many of the people (most as far as I can tell) who have concerns about the new vaccines are also supporters of vaccines in general, including obviously the Polio vaccine. The new vaccines, as many have pointed out, are not “vaccines” in the traditional sense. They don’t stop you catching the virus, or spreading it, and they won’t help us reach herd immunity, no matter how many people take them, or how often. That having been said, reasonable skeptics of the new vaccines, such as the professor in the video, do agree the vaccines are probably on balance a good idea for elderly and other risk groups for whom the risk from covid probably outweighs the possible long term effects of the vaccines. But forcing young people, who have very little risk from covid, to take vaccines that cause heart problems and other serious sides effects was always a crazy idea. People should be given as much information as possible and allowed to make their own choice.

Particularly grating on that thread was his attempt to use his wife as a shield to deflect any criticism. Because we now know just how little he himself cares for his wife’s feelings or emotional well-being.

Wait for the debunkers telling us this is “nothing at all to worry about”. The same people who told us that tha Wuhan laboratory was definitely not the origin of the virus – that was a “conspiracy theory”, outright banning the idea from various platforms – before finally conceding that laboratory leak was a feasible explanation for the origin of the virus outbreak.

Wally, don’t worry, you don’t come across as anything like Lloyd. One thing I would say (I’ve said it before) is I could do with your videos being shorter. I just can’t spend so much time watching a video. To me the best YT videos (apart from long ranging interviews) tend to be focussed on one main point and are around 10 minutes long. Please get to the point quicker. That’s just my opinion.

114,000, Literal, or Symbolic?
by Wonderment ina poster wrote to me privately, and brought to my attention the following comment below i made a while back in regards to the 144,00 number of revelation.
i had casually conjectured that this number was likely symbolic in line with the book of revelation being mostly symbolic in kind.
he brought up this juicy source:.

Have you come across A New Heaven and a New Earth: Reclaiming Biblical Eschatology (2014) by J. Richard Middleton? I was recommended the book by someone and have heard that some JWs are pointing to it as deploying good arguments in favour of JW-style paradise earth as the destiny of obedient humans,

Romans 11:25 seems to suggest that the number of Gentiles who will join the Israel of God is a limited number.
An additional JW argument is that the spiritual Israelites are said to rule over the spiritual Gentiles. But if the number of the 144,000 spiritual Israelites is really an unlimited number of believers, then who are they going to rule over? What do you do will all the scriptures that say spiritual Israel will rule over the rest of obedient mankind?
Plus the fact John the Baptist seems to be ruled out of the kingdom of the heaven in Matt 11:11. JWs argue this narrows the Israel of God down to a select number of Christians beginning at Pentecost up until the last days.

I had never heard of The Expanded Bible. The only copies I can find online at the moment are quite expensive.
Other versions I often check, apart from those already mentioned, include Moffatt, The Original New Testament by Hugh Schonfield, Robert Alter’s translation of the Hebrew Bible, David Bentley Hart’s New Testament, the 21st Century Version by Vivian Capel, William Barclay’s New Testament, and the Contemporary English Bible.

Riley do you know where we can access that information? The drug companies are not sharing the information about frequency of adverse events. There is widespread suspicion they are not even gathering the information in a rigorous was, because it is against their interest to do so. I’ve had four vaccines and I’ve never been asked or informed about reported adverse events. Have you? I know people who have had strokes, eye bleeds, and a couple who have died. As far as I know none of these have been recorded even as possible adverse reactions. How can we have accurate data if the it is not being gathered?
Countries such as Denmark that do their own checks and record data on reactions are the same countries that are withdrawing the vaccines.
