So, an honest question here, not an invitation for people to vent their disgust at various government officials: how do we get high ranking officials in the US Federal Government and in State departments of health to listen to this story, consider this evidence and redirect their policies? It seems the capture of the medical societies and the government agencies is almost complete.

Excellent question! No good answer that I can think of. Administrators are not elected. The activists are plain nuts. As one Rabbi said, the woke are a religion in search of a god. How do you get rid of a тАЬreligionтАЭ?

PL, I donтАЩt think you can get rid of it. I think you need to have better competition from better religions.

That means: 1) practitioners of the sane religions behaving according to their professed beliefs. 2) having conversations with the woke, asking them to explain their beliefs and then saying тАЬ.... and you believe this?тАЭ Just leave it for them to consider, do they actually believe what they are saying.

Most are probably just following their friends, saying what they have heard.

John, point well taken. Your #1 is especially true. ThatтАЩs a whole article/podcast of its own!

An article or podcast would be a nice start, but the study of why people are leaving traditional religions (leaving them vulnerable to wokeness and other ideologies/ religions) and how to convince them to return/remain is huge.

Bishop Robert Barron has put out good information about this from a Catholic perspective. There is likely a lot of commonality with other religions, especially Abrahamic religions.

That's what Robespierre thought the solution was. Look how that turned out for him.

Votes are what gets in the way.

But We The People can vote them out.

Nobody voted for RICHARD Levine. HE was appointed by Biden, who is clearly being brainwashed and manipulated by radical civil servants and lobbyists. Even after Biden is voted out, it will take some time to clear out the gender Marxists.

Agree. Almost his whole administration was appointed based on identity politics including Vice President Harris: black woman. ItтАЩs all disgraceful.

Maybe in this case it will be easier to (ex)change people than to change people - so to speak.
