Guest Post by Alex Berenson
Scocca is a lefty middle-aged journalist who publicly loved the mRNA Covid shots. (Yes, like Grant Wahl.) Now Scocca is badly sick with an autoimmune disease. Did the jabs cause it? He’s not asking.
You know Tom Scocca, even if you don’t.
Scocca is a progressive. An aggressive progressive. He thinks all the right (left) thinks, and he thinks them on social media with an edge. He hates Donald Trump, but he also hates his liberal cousins who don’t hate Donald Trump enough.
Naturally, Scocca was a Covid hysteric from the get-go. He used the phrase “superspreader event” unironically. He wanted schools closed – in 2022. He called anyone who disagreed with him a “ghoul.”
And naturally Scocca loved the mRNA Covid vaccines. He got his first jab on March 29, 2021, pretty much the first day he could. Then he announced his joy.
—
Scocca got his second shot on schedule, too. (Though, as he wrote in April 2021, he planned to “keep my mask on outdoors” even after two jabs. Profiles in courage!)
Through 2021 and 2022, Scocca also mocked people who refused the jabs and supported vaccine mandates – even after the Supreme Court had struck them down.
How many mRNA jabs did Scocca get himself?
Likely at least four, as into the fall of 2022 he publicly complained the United States had not done enough to encourage people to receive the so-called “bivalent” booster – the second mRNA booster.
Like other mRNA fanatics, Scocca built his life around avoiding Covid long after everyone else had stopped worrying. He succeeded well into 2023. No Covid for him.
Yet something strange happened to Scocca in 2023. As he explained in detail in a New York magazine essay earlier this week, his health began to fail. He suffered from swelling, muscle weakness, and other oddities:
The folder of referrals and results I carried to appointments got thicker. My blood tested positive for signs of general inflammation…
As Scocca acknowledges, as his physical ailments mounted, he wondered if he might be having a physical reaction to stress. He had lost his job and not found another:
Paid subscriptions at a newsletter I’d been writing… flattened out at about 20 percent of my share of our living expenses. The household finances began to drain.
—
But in August, Scocca’s tale took a turn.
For the first time, he got Covid. Despite (despite?) his jabs, his case was nasty:
The back of my throat was so raw I would wake up snorting for air. Rolling around in my bed, I felt, for the first time, that this body of mine truly was going to die someday.
Of course, one must grade this tale on a curve.
For the true Covid hysteric, Covid can never be mild (at least the first time). Scocca may have foreseen his own death, but he didn’t go to the hospital, and he found the strength to post a couple of pictures of positive tests to his aforementioned newsletter.
—
(Yes, Scocca’s Substack is called Indignity. Sign me up!)

No, Scocca’s real nightmare began a few weeks after his Covid infection.
His muscle weakness grew more severe. A test revealed his blood had very high levels of creatine kinase. As he writes, “the reason my muscles felt so weak was that they were actively dissolving into my bloodstream.”
Scocca was hospitalized, and remained hospitalized for two weeks, while physicians ran every test they could imagine, including a biopsy that was no fun at all.
In the end, they found… not much.
The doctors said he appeared to have myositis. In other words, his immune system was attacking his muscles. But that finding was less a diagnosis than a description. They treated him with high-dose steroids, essentially the first-line go-to for any unspecified autoimmune disorder.
Scocca’s creatine kinase levels duly dropped, and he was discharged. His essay ends on a sad, ambiguous note, with him too weak to hail a taxi (though not too weak to write it).
—
In passing, though, Scocca notes that his doctors diagnosed him with Hashimoto’s disease, an autoimmune attack on the thyroid gland.
You will be unsurprised to hear mRNA Covid jabs have been linked to both myositis and autoimmune thyroid diseases. For nearly three years, doctors around the world have linked the mRNAs to serious autoimmune problems, including psoriasis, lupus, and even Type 1 diabetes.
Along with myocarditis and cardiovascular problems, autoimmune diseases are the most credible post-mRNA side effects. But (as far as I can tell) no government health agency or drug regulators has even tried to estimate how frequently they occur or how many people worldwide may have suffered post-vaccination autoimmune crises.
Scocca displays the same studied disinterest.
He never wonders, at least not publicly, what his severe Omicron infection – Omicron, a cold for most healthy adults – might tell him about the value of the jabs he wanted so badly. He certainly doesn’t ask if the long-term immune system changes seen in people who receive at least three mRNA shots and are then infected might be related to his problems.
Scocca’s reluctance to ask hard questions is understandable.
Even worse than suffering a dangerous health crisis is having to wonder if somehow you brought it on yourself. When Grant Wahl, another journalist who loudly and proudly advocated for the mRNAs, dropped dead of an aneurysm in Dubai in December 2022, his wife and friends lambasted me for noting that the jabs had in rare cases been linked to aneurysms.
But Scocca’s unwillingness to question whether mRNAs may be linked to his mysterious illness won’t make it go away. And though I have sympathy for him as he attempts to heal, I would have much more if he had not spent three years pressing jabs whose side effects he never understood on everyone else.
Tom, Pfizer never loved you back.
Once upon a time, before Covid fear scrambled your brain, you knew that.

Come on Scocca Big pharma has your back. How about another shot of that Fauchi jab.
Anyone having the slightest sympathy or compassion for this person is not sane.
When you enthusiastically side with mass murderers, you will be among the first killed.
Ask any of the early Bolshies…Oh wait you can’t. And you can’t see them anymore in photographs. They have been erased.
Read “Darkness At Noon” by Arthur Koestler for the mentality of this “progressive” drone.
Fuck him and everyone like him. They are the enemy.
Fee Fi FAFO, I smell the blood of a stupid one.

‘Pride precedes the fall’, well done Tom Scocca!
Surely he had nothing but “big, beautiful” vaccines.
90% of any adult population is composed of sheep people. Sheeple want and need to be told: 1) What to think. 2) What to do. 3) and Where to shyte. Sheeple status appears to be independent of both IQ and academic achievement.
Unquestioned belief is danger – whether religious or secular.

I occasionally correspond with an old high school chum. He goes from castigating me for not getting even one jab to bitching about his chronic fatigue disease. If it kills off all the assholes in our country Fauci’s image should be chiseled into Mt Rushmore.
I want to upvote this so badly.
Fauci on Rushmore would be the ultimate display of comedy and tragedy. Made me laugh anyway! Of course Lincoln and Roosevelt honor madness as well. Yep, the Three Evil Stooges on Rushmore would well represent . . . us.
He could join all the other representatives of His Majesty the Cuck.
It is so bizarre that these people cannot figure out the cause of their declining health.
You think they can’t?
I think they know.
I don’t. I think the jab is mind controlling them. I’ve noticed a steep decline in IQ among people who’ve had it.

Had what?
At a sub-human level maybe. Cog Dis is a powerful drug. We probably all know and are probably related to people like this. It is very frustrating to say the least. Best advice, say nothing, their minds can’t be turned and it doesn’t accomplish anything.
Yep. I gave up talking a long time ago. It is what it is.
I really don’t think they can. Cognitive dissidence is a deep psychological condition. PS: He was an asshole even back then.
DENILE, a river in Africa filled by tears.
HSF,
They know.
It’s their indominable hubris that keeps them from speaking out.
They are cowards and knaves of the first order.
Small, shallow, awful creatures who reap what they have sown now. Good riddance.
Too bad the lesson of his impending death will be completely lost on the rest of the obedient lab rats facing the same fate.
These people still “Trust the Science”,aka the Talking Head on TV.
There are different levels of knowing; conscious knowing and unconscious knowing.
They’re “Baffled”
Dr. Sherri said since day one that this would happen…. that these people would end up with autoimmune disease due to the immune system attacking the spikes spread all over the body and guys like him spewed hate at her so the heck with him. He has no one to blame but himself. This is what happens when you are totally ignorant and can’t seek out basic facts.
It was planned.
It was planned knowing most would self immolate out of irrational fear.
The people who engineered this mass murder counted on drones like this Scocca puppet to sread their bioweapon. Whatever happens to this creature is well deserved. He happily killed himself for them and tried to take millions with him. He’s evil to the core.
I’m beginning to think that Karma does exist.
DIE MONSTER DIE !
At least he’s vaxxinated and boosted. As long as Mr Scocca keeps up to date on all his shots and follows all his dokter’s orders he should be OK ( but here’s hoping he continues to degrade and long suffer with and from his maladies. Tom wanted the Unvaxxed to suffer so Karma is coming right back atcha asshole. )
Auntie has a lengendary song from Tom’s bathhouse buddies, to help cheer him up:
Just think how fast they’d line up if they could get their booster shots through their sphincter.
Well, AIDS is an acronym for anally injected death sentence”. So there you have it.
Now that’s just mean. Damn funny too.

I used to live and work in downtown Seattle; whenever I see cohorts of “cheerful gays” singing, I think of their parents; in fact living where I did, I met the parents of a number of gay friends. They all told me how happy they were that their son was now “living his own truth”, or some such phrase.
Maybe the above parents actually believed what they said, just like these sickly mRNA recipients claim to be so happy they got jabbed. But I suspect they’re lying to themselves, because the truth just hurts too much….
‘ . . . they’re lying to themselves, because the truth just hurts too much….”
This.

That’s mighty white of you.

I’ll be the first to kick them when they’re down.
Until they’re unconscious or dead.
Now that’s what I call effective!
Have a very close friend with that exact set of problems and same name, myositis, and it was caused by statin drugs. Even the same treatment. Took the mayo clinic to sort that shit out. If treated aggressively it is still a LONG term issue. He did not take the shot as he is vehemently against it.
Therefore, I am vehemently against COVID shots. and, now statin drugs.
Magnesium L-threonate and coenzyme B6 may mitigate some of his symptoms.
Somewhat off topic but you mentioned the Mayo Clinic. I’ve noticed lately a lot of my friends and family not being able to get any kind of meaningful diagnosis from regional hospitals and often having to be referred to a specialist clinic like Mayo to get answers. These are illnesses like celiac, that while not common, are not rare either. I’ve known 3 people come down with celiac and it took over a year to diagnose in every case (and all presented the same symptoms so this shouldn’t be that difficult). I’ve been able to diagnose these fairly accurately by simply comparing the symptoms with a web search so not sure why this has gotten so dysfunctional. Medicine really is an industry that will (and should) be replaced by A.I. as most MD’s are becoming obsolete.
Education system has been tanking in this country for a long time. Results are showing up throughout.
I’ve had zero respect for Mayo Clinic since they started whoring out their name. The “hospital” in Saint Joseph, MO that almost killed my wife by misdiagnosing her bleeding cerebral aneurysm as meningitis is part of the “Mayo Network” as displayed on every entrance to the place.
When I tried to ask questions regarding their diagnosis (is it bacterial, viral or fungal? Viral. How do you know? ‘Cause it ain’t fungal or bacterial, duh. What about the presence of RBC in her CSF?) I was asked where did I get MY MD from. When she was back a week after release , they couldn’t get her out of there fast enough, life flighted to KUMED.
What do you call the guy who graduated med school last in his class? Doctor (and he’s probably practicing in Saint Joe).
May I slightly disagree, TB. From my experience, these ‘doctors’ seem to end up in VA hospitals.
The VA is, in the parlance of our times, a mixed bag.
Some good private practitioners end up working at the VA simply to get out of the increasingly unattractive, hassle-filled world of trying to survive as an ‘independent’ physician. Many MDs are happy with a merely adequate salary, and a ‘work to rule’ government job.
My own primary care doc was quite good (I am/was a medical specialist myself), but left private practice to join the VA system.
You Sir,are deeply cynical. Clap,clap,CLAP!!!
The AI programming could easily be corrupted by the power of Big Pharma.
Here is an example. I typed in a simple question to ChatGPT.
What are the side effects of the covid vaccine?
ChatGPT
The COVID-19 vaccines have undergone rigorous testing in clinical trials to ensure safety and efficacy. While most people experience only mild to moderate side effects, some individuals might have more noticeable reactions. Common side effects after COVID-19 vaccination include:
Pain at the Injection Site: Soreness, redness, or swelling where the vaccine was administered is a common side effect.
Fatigue and Headache: Feeling tired or experiencing headaches for a day or two after vaccination is reported by some individuals.
Muscle Pain and Body Aches: Aches and pains, particularly in the muscles or joints, can occur temporarily post-vaccination.
Fever and Chills: Some people might develop a low-grade fever or experience chills as their immune system responds to the vaccine.
Nausea: Occasional reports of mild gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea have been noted post-vaccination.
These side effects are usually mild and resolve within a few days. They are signs that the body is building protection against the virus.
In rare cases, there have been reports of more serious side effects, such as severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis). However, these instances are extremely rare and typically occur within minutes to an hour after receiving the vaccine. This is why vaccination centers have protocols in place to monitor and manage any immediate adverse reactions.
Serious side effects like myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) and blood clotting disorders have been reported after mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, primarily in younger populations. However, the occurrence of these events is very rare, and the benefits of vaccination in preventing COVID-19 outweigh the risks for most people.
It’s essential to note that the risk of severe complications from COVID-19 itself is much higher than the risk of severe side effects from the vaccine. Vaccination remains a crucial tool in controlling the spread of the virus, preventing severe illness, and saving lives.
If you have specific concerns about receiving the COVID-19 vaccine, it’s advisable to consult with your healthcare provider to discuss the benefits and potential risks based on your individual health status.
AI cannot be trusted.
Yup. A boondoggle.
AI is a boondoggle.
The A.I. says,” Take The Shot. Terminators are too expensive.”
>>>Medicine really is an industry that will (and should) be replaced by A.I. as most MD’s are becoming obsolete.
The so-called ‘cognitive’ specialties in medicine are IMHO truly at risk from AI; diagnosing a specific illness is in most cases just matching the pattern of symptoms with previously recognized patterns, then selecting a treatment from previously used treatments. Both diagnosis and treatment to be adjusted if the patient doesn’t improve.
Though the above isn’t simple or easy, it isn’t rocket science, I suspect most primary care and medical (as opposed to surgical) specialists could be replaced by a nurse with high-end software.
I have tried to talk my wife out of taking statin drugs. WTF do i know? I’m just a retired RN. When she offs herself,i can find a younger woman. Or Not. A little peace and quiet is kinda appealing.
Dear Tom,
Guess that’s why he won’t research “Antibody Dependent Enhancement”, huh
i was saddened to reach the end of the article without reading of his death. i hope that the cunt dies soon and wish him unbelievable agony as he dies.
we are in a mass extinction event, and it is just warming up. the bioweaponed fucks are a danger to the unbioweaponed. fuck him all to hell.

British Airways Crew Member Dies Suddenly in Front of Passengers
A British Airways crew member collapsed and died suddenly in front of a “busy” plane full of passengers as it prepared to depart from London Heathrow Airport en route to Hong Kong just ahead of the Christmas holiday. The crewmember was the first of two to die suddenly, with a colleague being found dead in his hotel room just days later…
“Crew are frantic,” a “source” reportedly told The Sun.
“These were two healthy people who suddenly dropped dead. There were no reported underlying health issues.”
no underlying health issues except vaccinosis.
Post vaccination paranoia syndrome.
It is brought on by reading lies about the glorious vaccines killing people.
When people read these lies, their own heart attacks them with microclots.
It is a scientific fact that all these heart problems only started to occur because people noticed they were dying.
[I don’t really need to tag this, do I?]
Well the vaccines are not all bad, after all. Never say bad things about sick people. He is sick. Good!.
I feel for those who took the shot in the early ignorant fearmongered days, there are a LOT of innocent victims. Tommy boy is no innocent victim. The very kindest interpretation would have him a casualty of friendly fire. A more realistic interpretation would have him a tool willingly used, damaged and discarded. An uncharitable interpretation might have him a stupid vicious leftist freak who is getting a taste of what he deserves, a small one.
Taking the shot in ignorance and fear is almost understandable. The raging demand that others take the shot because it suits one’s prejudice is inexcusable even in one as blindingly ignorant and stupid as a modern ‘journalist’.
Either way, stupid is stupid.
He knew at one time. He can go eat glass and find out again. Bye.
Yeah that’s a shame.
“Someone’s stealing my lines.”
Right out the gate, right before the propaganda re:kill shots were blasted 24/7 they told everyone that the vaxx side effects would be extremely painful…”that’s how you knew it was working!” The more you hurt and more side effects one had, the better it was working.
Yes, they actually stated this verbal insanity and people lapped it up.
Too bad, how sad. Delusion is a sad state to live in but I’m way past caring about what happens to these stupid people. Yeah, I said “stupid”, not ignorant, because ignorance can be educated. There is no cure for stupid except death.
I remember the 1960’s. Everyone was looking for their flying cars and a cure to the common cold. After all, we put a man on the moon din’t we?
2024 and whadda we got? Covid and Tesla.
I want my fucking money back!
Underground nuclear bomb shelters were selling well in the ’60s.
Just one more Tom, I’m sure that’ll fix it for you….lol…sorry, no sympathy for a simpleton.
Jikers, yikers,
Where’d you get the spikers!
Jeepers, creepers,
Where’d you get the die?
Scocca is a fool. That is unfortunately quite common. Education doesn’t give a fool common sense. I am a retired RN. I warned other RNs that a rushed vaccine with untested technology was damned dangerous. They couldn’t be bothered to even do a little internet research. The pregnant nurses were sure it would be safe even when i told them it had never even been tested on pregnant women. F’n idiots.
I wouldn’t wish it on anyone…but Scocca the bully (all Leftists are) totally earned his ailment.
Tom has no better judgement than my wife…who I also absolutely refuse to listen to regarding our benevolent government and their attempted genocide.
Have another!
Just proves the jabs are not good for your health if the chink flue does not get you the jabs will . Its called population control
