Editor:
I found Robert Argenbright’s letter (Mailbox, Feb. 20) to be yet another example of muddled thinking and fear-filled scapegoating.
I’m most disappointed when people like Robert propose that his fellow humans be treated like livestock, lacking the right to make our own medical decisions.
Furthermore, it is perplexing to observe the cognitive dissonance embodied in his arguments. The idea that the COVID-19 jab halted transmission and prevented infection should have died a long time ago. Did you not notice the throngs of vaxed people getting sick, often many times? Even pharmaceutical CEOs and government health officials eventually had to admit that the jab failed to live up to their hype.
Yet, numerous times, I’ve heard intelligent people, who are aware of these facts, continue to claim that the jab stops transmission, and urge others to get the jab, in order to “protect” others. Clearly that line of propaganda struck a chord with some people, and no amount of reality will convince them otherwise.
Robert’s letter also reminded me that the NCJ utterly failed to investigate and do real journalism regarding COVID-19. Instead, they acted as stenographers for powerful corporate interests and the government, thereby stoking fear and reinforcing ignorance in their readers.
You don’t have to live in fear. There are doctor-prescribed protocols that have helped countless people survive COVID-19 and other viruses, including elderly individuals and those in poor health. To learn more, I recommend reading The Courage to Face COVID-19: preventing hospitalization and death while battling the bio-pharmaceutical complex by Peter McCullough and John Leake. You can find this book in the Humboldt County Library.

Well, pretty sure there are more opportunities headed your way to try out your ‘feelings’.
Good luck with that.
Nope, sorry, it is YOU who have fallen for propaganda. The shot (“jab” for idiots) lessened the severity of the symptoms and saved many lives. Most of those who actually died from COVID-19 were those who were not vaccinated. You choose to believe two non-scientists over the thousands of scientists and medical professionals who have, over many decades, proven the efficacy of vaccines. You obviously don’t understand the Scientific Method or how science works. It also destroys your credibility. Boy, talk about muddled thinking!
