Why can’t policymakers stop pushing obvious failures?
Your first loss is your best loss.
This is simple, brilliant Wall Street advice, another way of saying, Don’t throw good money after bad.
The best investors never get emotionally involved, especially when they’re down. They don’t panic if a stock goes against them. But they constantly reevaluate their positions as new facts arrive. If they see they’ve made a mistake, they admit the truth to themselves, pull the trigger, and sell, even if they’re down.
Sounds easy. But it’s not. Admitting you’re wrong is hard. It’s hard on Wall Street – and everywhere else.
Know what else is hard? Playing quarterback in the National Football League.
So to Zach Wilson. Poor, squinty-eyed Zach Wilson, starting quarterback for the poor New York Jets.
It wasn’t supposed to be this way. In April, the Jets traded for Aaron Rodgers, an all-time great – and not just because he refused the mRNA jabs. Alas, Rodgers tore his Achilles tendon on the fourth snap of the season.
The injury was unfortunate but not unpredictable. Quarterbacks get hurt, and Rodgers is 39. The Jets could have signed a decent backup as insurance last spring for a few million dollars – a pittance by NFL standards.
Instead, they went into the season with Wilson backing up Rodgers. Why?
Well, in 2021 the Jets chose Wilson as the second overall pick in the NFL draft. Yes, they said he was the second-best football player available that year.
He wasn’t. Not the second or the 200th. The Jets made excuses: they’d rushed him, the receivers, the offensive line yadda yadda yadda. In reality, great quarterbacks show their quality fast – Joe Burrow turned Cincinnati around in his first season.
Not Wilson. Wilson isn’t great, good, mediocre, below average, or even bad. He’s terrible. His statistics are comparable to those of JaMarcus Russell, an all-time bust.

As Shannon Sharpe, a Hall of Fame player, put it:

Joe Douglas, the general manager of the Jets, isn’t dumb.
But Douglas wouldn’t admit the catastrophic mistake he made with Wilson when he could have done so cheaply, dumping Wilson after the Rodgers trade. No one would have cared last spring. Your first loss is your best loss. Instead, he hung up, choosing to hope Rodgers would stay healthy and let Wilson hold a clipboard on the sidelines.
Hope doesn’t go far in the NFL.
Now Wilson is back on the field, and he looks worse. Some quarterbacks make up for a lack of talent with confidence. Wilson has neither. On one play last Sunday, he took the snap, ran around a little, then plopped on his rear end for no particular reason.

Yet the Jets insist they are more committed to Wilson than ever.
On Monday, their head coach called Wilson their “unquestioned quarterback.”
The Jets are no doubt trying to help Wilson keep whatever fragments of confidence he has left. They’re also public posturing. Other teams signed all the decent backups the Jets could have had last spring. Prying one away will cost the Jets. They don’t want to seem desperate.
News flash: they are desperate. Aside from Wilson, they’re loaded with talent, which only makes matters worse. The players know better than anyone else how bad he is.
Football seasons go quick. Seventeen games. The Jets have played three. They’ve lost two, including last Sunday’s, which they would have won with even mediocre quarterback play. They have a winnable game the week after next too. But as long as Wilson is their quarterback they’ll probably keep losing – and soon the locker room will be in revolt.

The mRNA Covid jabs are the Zach Wilson of medicine, all show and no go.
They don’t stop infection, they don’t stop transmission. If they make any difference against Omicron or in people who have already had Covid (basically everyone), it is hard to see.
That grim picture doesn’t even account for their side effects.
Most of the rest of the world quietly admitted this reality this winter, refusing to recommend them for healthy adults under 65.
But the United States refused – and two weeks ago recommended the shots not just for all adults but for healthy children too, an indefensible decision.
—
American mRNA fanatics and health bureaucrats just made their worst decision yet
How do you ask a man to be the last man to die for a mistake? In April 1971, John Kerry famously asked the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that question. Kerry was talking about the Vietnam War, but he might as well have meant the mRNA Covid jabs. Once again, the American elite refuses to accept a reality obvious to almost everyone else and drags out f…

Why? Put the hard-core conspiracy theories aside.
From the start the world has viewed the mRNA shots as American products (even though BioNTech, which developed the shots that Pfizer sells, is German). Further, the Biden Administration took full ownership of them when Uncle Joe took office, even though the Trump Administration developed them.
They are ours. We made them. And they work, darn it! They are the unquestioned vaccines.
The biggest difference between Zach Wilson and the mRNAs is that in a matter of weeks, the Jets will have to admit the truth everyone already knows. Football and sports in general brook no quarter. At every level, they unflinchingly expose reality. (On Sunday, as the Jets were losing, I watched my son’s soccer team get smoked for the third straight game. Though he scored, yay!)
The mRNAs are different. The public health authorities are the referees too, and the media is predisposed to make excuses for them, so they can keep the game going a little longer, and hide their humiliation.
But it is already clear that almost no one is going to take the boosters this fall. Pfizer has already ratcheted down expectations for them. Readers with elderly relatives are telling me that even nursing homes are not encouraging the shots.
—
There is one more difference between Wilson and the mRNAs, though. As painful as Wilson is to watch, he isn’t actually dangerous.
But another study just confirmed that the mRNAs produce a puzzling immune system change upon repeated dosing.
We have no idea exactly what the change means, or why it’s happening, or what its long-term impact might be. But it is yet another reason that health authorities and medical authorities should be wary of a biotechnology whose benefits (if any) last for months and whose long-term impacts are unknown.
They’re not just gambling with their own health. They’re gambling with the health of anyone who takes their advice.
Their first loss is our best loss.

Why can’t policymakers stop pushing obvious failures?
Because they aren’t failures, they are successes.
The problem isn’t what’s happening, it’s the perception of the masses based on the official narrative rather than the practical reality.
“The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. …We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of. This is a logical result of the way in which our democratic society is organized. Vast numbers of human beings must cooperate in this manner if they are to live together as a smoothly functioning society. …In almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons…who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind.”

“People accept the facts which come to them through existing channels. They like to hear new things in accustomed ways. They have neither the time nor the inclination to search for facts that are not readily available to them.” ― Edward L. Bernays, Crystallizing Public Opinion
https://www.goodreads.com/work/quotes/1184315-crystallizing-public-opinion
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Availability_cascade “An availability cascade is a self-reinforcing cycle that explains the development of certain kinds of collective beliefs. A novel idea or insight, usually one that seems to explain a complex process in a simple or straightforward manner, gains rapid currency in the popular discourse by its very simplicity and by its apparent insightfulness. Its rising popularity triggers a chain reaction within the social network: individuals adopt the new insight because other people within the network have adopted it, and on its face it seems plausible. The reason for this increased use and popularity of the new idea involves both the availability of the previously obscure term or idea, and the need of individuals using the term or idea to appear to be current with the stated beliefs and ideas of others, regardless of whether they in fact fully believe in the idea that they are expressing. Their need for social acceptance, and the apparent sophistication of the new insight, overwhelm their critical thinking.”
People can have a great deal of trouble accepting that something done by a “caretaker” that is impacting them negatively is working as designed.
They are.working exactly as.designed
The covid19 theatrical event worked as planned. Billions are new marching to an early death over the next few years.
I’ve been told by many a loon that the jabbed are going to die en mass October 4th when 5G is going to turn them into zombies.
What’s Oct 4?
En masse isn’t happening. Besides, killing people who are no longer capable of reproducing (women after a certain age and men with no “game”) is pointless – other than saving a few worthless bucks on Social Security. We’re already a dead end. Shave a couple points off fertility rates, though, and you have an effect. Getting young people to sterilize themselves by “transitioning” works best.
I agree there is no en masse death, otherwise it would be obvious and the scum that did this would find themselves being burned out of their castles and made into lamp post decorations.
As already shown numerous times that not all batches were mRna solutions but various contaminated solutions. The goal was to increase all cause deaths by a small amount, sterilize young males and gals, increase customer base for the pharma scum with all manner of disease and maladies. This all goes towards reducing the population in nations and has plausible deniability that brain dead people will believe.
Zombies!! I’m conflicted here. I don’t believe in zombies and don’t know any or anyone who knows a zombie. But… Do I rig up and stand in my driveway, waiting, hoping for the horde? Or will it just be another disappointing bust psyop hopium rumor.
And nowadays, quite a good number of young people would look at being sterilized as a feature and not a bug.
Even if the worst predictions for 10/4 were true, it wouldn’t be a sudden mass die off.
The theory goes that it would trigger a latent version of the Marburg virus to activate. Since the Marburg virus has an incubation period of 2-21 days, that would be the time table to look for.
I think it’s probably nothing more than what they say it is, or if it’s nefarious, not in the way people are predicting.
However, I also think that there’s people in the Biden Regime who would have no qualms about using 5G to trigger a mass casualty
event, I’m just not sure that they have the capability to do so, but they may.
Try this scenario:
They run their emergency test, at the same time Russia China and every other victim of USA hegemony bring down our entire network with the most massive denial of service attack ever.
The attack, shuts down all power plants, disabling their computers.
Now,
Run the scenario on how many days without electricity does it take the system to dissolve into widespread chaos?
There is no “Marburg virus”.
There is a bioweapon that is called, perhaps inaccurately, Marburg virus; and whatever it actually is, has been reported to have been encapsulated within aerogels that are a component of the coronahoax vaxes. It has also been reported that the aerogel sheathing can be inactivated by 5G pulses of a particular frequency, thereby releasing the bioweapon, which causes extremely lethal hemorrhaging.

More likely that something in the shots can be activated by 5G than the virus hoax. But 5G alone produces symptoms simluar to the so called C-19. EMF’s are not good for you.
You guys keep dreaming up exotic solutions to simple acts of poisoning.
How do you fake a pandemic of hemorrhagic fever with something “off the shelf”?
You secretly dose a population with blood thinners. When they start bleeding out every orifice? Instant “made to order” pandemic.
Just introduce powerful blood thinners into the water supply, put it in prepared packaged beverages….grain..whatever enough of the population consumes often.
See?
Easy peasy.
There are no viruses. All made up and used to keep the sheeple in prepetual fear- they claim 15 million variants with no proof even one has ever been isolated. The hoax goes much deaper than the C-19.
Pharma and the med community cannot afford to have people made healthy. They’d run out of a customer base and that would hurt profits.
There are many cures for cancer but the government keeps you from finding them or using them.
One simple cure is to starve the cancer of sugar. It needs sugar to survive. A simple canivore diet will go a long way to helping you survive cancer- or even better not allowing it what it needs to grow in the first place. Yum, Ribeyes!
Added beneifit is you don’t have to worry much about reading labels to avoid suger, vegetable oils, GMO’s and all the other poisons they add the the “food”. None of which is good for you.
They are trying to kill you in a thousand ways- if the governent, BIG FOOD, BIG PHARMA recommend it run away as fast as you can.
I think it’s more sinister than that. Yes, some people have chronic cognitive dissonance but a LOT of people GOT PAID and likely still are.
IMO, Justin Fields is the next Zack Wilson.
I’ll be standing in line for my booster. I don’t know anyone that died or got injured from those big, beautiful vaccines. Anybody who claims they did is lying because I don’t know them.
I don’t know anyone who died in the civil war.
Must be no one died.
Anyone alive who claims they did, was not there.
Exactly. If I can’t see it from my house, it simply didn’t happen.
Correct
What if I can’t see it from the barn?
Here’s a sample of the touted wonders found in the new “vaccine” as told to a physician oriented medical publication. The propaganda they are fed runs deep.
