Genesis cover

On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.

 

The print edition can be purchased at Amazon. from any other book seller, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.


The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
 

"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News


The bad consequences to the bad COVID policies in 2020 continue to pile up

today’s entire government health community.

Three stories this week illustrate once again that not only did none of the governmental actions imposed by our “betters” during the COVID panic in 2020 work, they are now resulting in long term harm across large populations.

First there was a study of 1.7 million children that found a marked increase in serious heart problems in children who got the jab.

Their research confirmed a large body of evidence showing links between the COVID-19 shots and myocarditis and pericarditis, particularly in adolescents. The research also confirmed that even in 2021, when the vaccine was first authorized for children and teens, that age group did not face a high risk for COVID-19-related serious outcomes, including death or the need for emergency care, hospitalization or critical care.

You can read the paper here [pdf]. Fortunately, the study also found no deaths in either group from these heart conditions, and that new heart ailments among the jabbed children were rare. Nonetheless, the study found solid evidence that the jab caused some harm while doing little to prevent COVID. As noted in the first link:

“This study clearly shows that Pfizer’s COVID vaccine provides almost no benefit to children and adolescents, but does increase their risk of myocarditis and pericarditis,” said Brian Hooker, Ph.D., chief scientific officer of Children’s Health Defense. “It begs the question: Why does the CDC continue to recommend these unlicensed shots for kids? Where is the data they use to support their statement that the benefits of these vaccines outweigh the risks?”

This first study was then supplemented by the results of a second study, which confirmed once again what has been known for almost a century, that masks are not only useless in blocking respiratory viruses like COVID, in children they do harm.

The highest quality evidence available for masking children for COVID-19 or other viral respiratory infections has failed to find a beneficial impact against transmission. Mechanistic studies showing reduced viral transmission from use of face masks and respirators have not translated to real world effectiveness.

Identified harms of masking include negative effects on communication and components of speech and language, ability to learn and comprehend, emotional and trust development, physical discomfort, and reduction in time and intensity of exercise.

The study covered all these issues in detail, and was blunt in its condemnation of the actions of American health officials, noting for example that the CDC’s “child masking recommendations deviated substantially from international guidelines.” Those guidelines were once again based on decades of research that showed masks as useless in these matters, and potentially harmful. Yet even now “the CDC continues to recommend masks for children down to age two in certain settings, and this is in the absence of strategies for exiting these restrictions.” And it maintains these recommendations lacking any scientific research to justify them.

In other words, to the CDC data is irrelevant. All that matters is its power to order people around.

The third study comes out of South Korea. It found that excess death skyrocketed after it mandated that its entire population get jabbed.

South Korea’s almost universally Covid-vaccinated population has suffered a staggering five-fold surge in excess deaths since Covid mRNA shots were rolled out for public use.

The paper’s data was even more shocking.

[E]xcess deaths were estimated at 0.3% for 2020, 4.0% for 2021, and 20.7% for 2022.

The paper noted that the large increase in excess deaths was mostly among the young, in their 20s, and attributed this increase to many factors, conveniently omiting any mention of the jab. As noted at the first link,

Interestingly, however, the researchers did not mention Covid “vaccines” once in their report, despite the previous correlation. The link should be investigated.

It will not, however, due to insidious pandemic politics involving government, academia, and industry. A fear of a backlash from promoting “vaccine hesitancy” possibly superseded credible, and urgently needed scientific inquiry.


“WE ARE NEVER WRONG!”

All in all, the data continues to show two things. First, the response to COVID by academia and the government and prompted by emotion, panic, and a great deal of unrelative political motives was an unmitigated disaster. Second, there is a marked reluctance to face this reality by those same academics and government officials, because they themselves promoted these bad policies, and to recognize these awful consequences would require them to admit they were terribly terribly wrong, and were obviously wrong from day one.

Such an admission of error by our modern intellectual community is forbidden. They are never wrong, ever, and if you dare question them you are either “racist” or advocating “conspiracy theories.”

Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. Your support allows me the freedom and ability to analyze objectively the ongoing renaissance in space, as well as the cultural changes -- for good or ill -- that are happening across America. Fourteen years ago I wrote that SLS and Orion were a bad ideas, a waste of money, would be years behind schedule, and better replaced by commercial private enterprise. Only now does it appear that Washington might finally recognize this reality.

 

In 2020 when the world panicked over COVID I wrote that the panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Only in the past year have some of our so-called experts in the health field have begun to recognize these facts.

 

Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies.

    Many of the academics and government officials who pushed and promoted the harmful COVID policies were not simply wrong, but LYING.

    Not much harm no foul. If only “not much harm” was the rule….

  • Wasn’t it Dwight David that warned of the ‘military-industrial complex’? Now, the Iron Triangle of government-industrial-pharmaceutical. Welcome to the Bureaucracy, where merely Kafkaesque would be welcome.

    Not only the heart issues, but the TURBO CANCER that has resulted! My beautiful, sweet Niece had TREATABLE and STABLE breast cancer but then was “advised” to get the jab to “protect” her. A very short time later she was GONE! Her cancer simply exploded from her breast tumors to her vital organs and she died very quickly ! She and her husband came to our home on Friday afternoon after she had been to her doctor – she was having a “bad day” but was in decent spirits – on Monday she went in for more tests – on TUESDAY she was unresponsive most of the day – on Wednesday she was sedated to “ease” her pain – on Thursday she was near comatose – on FRIDAY she was completely unresponsive other than a grimace due to extreme pain – on Saturday morning she was moved to a Hospice Home – Saturday evening she took her last breath and then her last precious heart beat. It’s been TWO YEARS this week and we all are still mourning her! I firmly believe she would still be with us if not for the jab! I tried to warn everyone to NOT do this and was roundly criticized by the USUAL “experts” – high school DEMOcrat Union Teachers! They listened to the DEMOcrats – I listened to the MAN WHO INVENTED the method – he said NO and we didn’t!!

    Fauci should be sent to Gitmo for life and waterboarded 2x a day. I no longer trust Government “science” or Medicine

    Fauci, Collins, Daszak, Hotez and Scarf Woman should be tossed into an above ground pool of rabid minks at half time of the Super Bowl. With all teevees locked on.

    “a review of 12,000 scientific papers by the Institute of Medicine published in 2012 found that 98 percent of injuries studied were either caused by, or may have been caused by, a vaccine.“
    “the PREP Act, that granted Big Pharma absolute immunity from lawsuits for products that were declared for use for “public health emergencies,” which could be anything the government or pharma claims fits the bill, just like with the scamdemic of Covid-19.”
    “of the 14,000 vaccine injury claims made just since the rollout of the deadly mRNA Covid-19 “emergency use” only jabs, only 16 people were compensated.”
    “New legislation HR 9828 would strip away the injury immunity the vaccine industrial complex and pharma cabal of crooks and criminals enjoy right now says
    Rep. Paul A. Gosar, D.D.S. (AZ), “My legislation strips away current immunity provisions unfairly shielding Big Pharma from the harms caused by their products and allows those injured by vaccines to pursue a civil lawsuit in state or federal court.

    “In a recent congressional hearing led by Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, Dr. Robert Malone, a prominent critic of COVID-19 vaccines, explained how COVID-19 vaccines cause cancer by DESIGN. Moderna’s mRNA COVID-19 vaccine is actually a biological weapon that contains billions of DNA fragments that pose cancer risks.”

    From September 2021, going down memory lane with the studies showing that it’s 98% effective comparing the vaccinated with the placebo… (But we all know that they later admitted of having “no testing at all”. The entire vaccine study was work of fiction/lie and protected under freedom of speech.)

    Pretty much every comment engine is glitching over the last few days. The engine here is coughing up “you are commenting too frequently” when nothing like that is happening. Gee. You don’t think they’re all routed thru NSA?

    A quote:

    “A new paper, ‘Differences in misinformation sharing can lead to politically asymmetric sanctions,’ published today in Nature suggests that the higher quantity of social media policy enforcement (such as account suspensions) for conservative users could be explained by the higher quantity of misinformation shared by those conservative users—and so does not constitute evidence of inherent biases in the policies from social media companies or in the definition of what constitutes misinformation.”
