I would like to make a note about my recent post, here. Some have expressed concern about it. The purpose was to satirize leftists who seem to express apparently unending personal hatred for Elon Musk, and to satirize many establishment leftists in general. It absolutely does come a personal place. After facing serious professional consequences for my own speech, I am very upset at the calls to “cancel” Elon and paint him as an “enemy of democracy” for expressing his position in support of the protesters in the UK. (Some, even at my own institution, called me a “threat to public safety,” which I believe is the opposite of true, misses the points that I was trying to make, i.e., that public health leaders must not do or say things that destroy the public’s trust if public health, which I ardently care about, is to function properly, and is in my opinion completely deranged.)
I thought your satire was quite creative and rightly got readers to consider the viewpoints exuded and the 'thinking' process employed by those who have been indoctrinated over the past decade by globalist-controlled mainstream media and, hence, have demonstrated the tribalistic, irrational, short-sighted and dehumanizing mindset of the unwittingly subjugated.
I think you are learning that online spaces makes normal people functionally autistic. Speech is a left-brain activity and right brained inputs are unavailable or blunted. As people are reading the information alone instead of aloud in the company of others they miss the cues of deeper meaning that are amplified by other people's reactions and interpretations. We are getting dumb, and we now are happy with ourselves if we get a Tim Walz reference about JD Vance's couch.
I’m glad to see a follow up to that article because I was so confused and did not realize that it was just satire… I tend to multitask a lot while I’m listening and I wasn’t sure if those were your views or somebody else’s views that you were repeating but either way it was disturbing when I did not realize that it was satire so thank you!
I joined your substack after a useful seed oil post. While I mostly agree with your views, I am angry enough already and suffer from anxiety/depression/nihilism. If you feel that you must comment on non health matters please offer actionable suggestions otherwise I have no use for it. In general we agree with your opinions and there are less biased/more professional sources of news so this wastes my time and money as I get nothing new from it.
1 million people came to the UK last year LEGALLY from these 600,000 were highly skilled workers in the tech sector doctors dentists and nurses applications made by employers. 400,000 came on student visas bringing £42 billion to the university sector. So you are claims are false.
Only 68,000 people came illegally counting for less than 7% of total immigrants and most of these were refugees from countries that the UK has bombed like Afghanistan Libya Somalia Iraq etc.

Terrific satire!!! I enjoyed every outlandish bit of it...truly a modest proposal.
Publish an accompanying voice over to convey the satire :-) I think people are too used to WYSIWYG.
