If you read Berenson's defense of his actions yesterday from his substack and the comments of his readers about that short piece you will see that at least 90% of the comments are extremely pro Dr. Malone and anti Berenson. The people have seen that he is a self important minor intellect who seeks fame for its own sake and is looking to regain his place among the woke army of NYT readers. Bless you Dr. Malone. If you're taking flak, you are over the target.

apparently his rebuttal has backfired, profusely - I personally felt the way he addressed it was utterly craven and totally pathetic - the Daily Beast asked me to comment?!? WTH did that mean? I can just imagine his phone rang well into the night! I can think of fewer publications LESS relevant than the DB other than the Huffington Post et al. If there's one good thing that will come of this crisis is Independent news is now exploding. Never understood all this FB and Twitter crap - what's wrong with these newsletters? Anyhow, is it the least bit possible this has something to do with the march scheduled for next Sunday in DC? Both Malone and RFK Jr are listed as speakers and many, many others but no mention of Berenson? I know it's a reach but there has to be a reason why he did this. Was is nothing more than a mere litmus test to see how much influence Malone holds?

If you watch the video, malone describes the 300 people requesting censorship of rogan as random people including just writers, while he heads a group of 16,000 doctors which have proper authority. Alex probably took that as an insult and just responded in kind. I think this is more likely than ego concerns about the marches or whatever.

Berenson's a jerk. His strategy backfired big time. Read the comments on his Substack post. He isn't fooling anybody.

I cancelled my subscription with Alex. He doesn’t seem to connect all the dots in this big picture. For example: Presidential election fraud, he doesn’t believe. Now this. Done with him!

And his need to put that out there was weird (and telling). One of the most remarkable things about this struggle is that so many people has set aside partisan issues to focus on this fight for humanity.

YES!! I thought the very same thing, which staYed with me, nagging at my always questioning mind, bothering the hEck out of me, as Alex hAd been one of my go-to sources throughout this madness.!. Then...his attack, or how another commenter stated, his "hitjob". Strike three... AB's ouuuuT!!

I did tell Alex, when I canceled my subscription, I would consider coming back should he decide to address aLL his supporters he SO let down, and deservingly give us "Why?"!!

Believes it or doesn't, election fraud? If he's in denial I highly suggest he read John Funds books - irrefutable evidence - like RFK Jr's book he too lists every single source. It's inarguable. I must've missed that one.

I remained subscribed simply to stay informed and keep track of the subterfuge as I do with main stream media and many other publications. It's my way of starting the day with a good laugh! The lies are becoming more outrageous and entirely delusional!

The few of us that remain can easily pass on what Alex then says.

AB's views on election fraud essentially amount to: "I looked into it, didn't see anything significant--but I'm not going to give any details at all. Trust me--I'm a trained journalist." Read Navarro's "The Immaculate Deception," Hemingway's "Rigged," Byrne's "The Deep Rig," or Fund's "Our Broken Elections" and you simply cannot ignore the irregularities. Then read the infamous Time Magazine article where they actually boasted about how a 'cabal' 'fortified' the election. Then give me logical refutations and explanations for it all.

Thanks for the reply! Glad you too read Funds books - notice how the man was never interviewed on national television. I've spent the last several years educating people about the Motor Voter Act - btw my posts are always removed when I mention it in the comment sections of any of the large newspapers. It states no proof of citizenship required when registering to vote. The only way you can expose someone voted illegally is to contest the election (must be less than 1%) or someone turns the person in. Your voting record is public in formation. The deliberate rallying cry to get them to the polls is NO ONE HAS EVER BEEN PROSECUTED FOR VOTER FRAUD not that that it isn't rampant - and that no one is ever prosecutor for it. It's also not the presidential election but the smaller lower turn out elections that are the most important and matter the most - where voter fraud has the greatest impact. Had Sweeney contested the results of the recent election in NJ it would've confirmed just how rife it is. Rest assured the political promises (Governor in 2025) he was given to walk away.

Same. And unsubscribed entirely for good measure. Plenty of sane people to follow... Matthew Crawford, Metatron, ElGatoMalo etc. All on substack.

Ivor Cummins, Alex Belfield, Russell Brand, Joe Rogan.

It's crazy Alex thinks he can kick off and crazier to double-down. Good luck to him. I hope he wins against Twitter he's got some important alignment. Very strange affair.

I have 3 comments on his post about this myself. But baby-bathwater. Berenson DID add a lot of legitimacy to those who questioned the vaxx orthodoxy. He also parsed a lot of government data showing the lack of effectiveness and truth in the vaxx & vaxx narrative. In fact he was kicked off Twitter for posting actual Israeli government data showing the stuff wasn't working.

This isn't a time to let the champions of truth to take each other down. While I agree his attack on Dr. Robert Malone was both undeserved and much more importantly, not true, and the comments on his Substack are well deserved and hopefully teach him some humility, lets not destroy the value of his work while we slap him on the wrist.

Agree -

However . . . . until he (or someone else) explains in great detail exactly why he acted the way he did (sans any and all respect for Malone) I cannot personally afford to grant him immunity. Trust is something you earn and is practically impossible to repair once it is shattered.

We now live in a society where truth and justice cease to exist. Lawlessness corruption malfeasance abound us. Name one thing that is still sacrosanct? Just one. Like you stated he just legitimized the narrative and therefore must also be held accountable. We need to know exactly what was behind his actions as you can see his remarks were well prepared in advance,

All food for thought. But I never said to grant him immunity. (under the circumstances, a very funny phrase to use) I said not to take this problem and let it hurt anyone who is helping us win the fight against this new phase of oligarchy. Hold Berenson to account once the dust has settled from our victory party. In the meantime, trashing one of the people leading us into battle is a luxury we can't afford.

There are a lot of really great doctors, scientists and even some politicians who are risking and losing it all to bring us the truth. But the nature of reality is that no two people see truth exactly the same way even when they are being completely honest with themselves and us.

Eye on the prize is all I'm saying.

Very well said. And you're right - his book helped expose a lot of it and his interview with RFK Jr was very impressive. But (don't you loath that word) what if this is another Jake Tapper scenario? As you see I've not terminated my subscription - the truth will eventually surface. My ONLY concern and greatest fear is this will negatively effect the work and tremendous sacrifices all the great doctors and experts have in fact risked to bring out the truth. Lets just say Malone is wrong (strictly for arguments sake) it wouldn't matter in the least because people are finally starting to question the entire narrative. IF for nothing more just one 3 hour podcast got people to start thinking! That's all we ever wanted, an opening. You can see by the number of people refusing the boosters (countries discarding hundreds of thousands of them) we are making incredible gains. I can only imagine the desperation and magnitude of money being offered to quell the progress.

VladTepesBlog's avatar

Thank you. Perfect. I can only augment and not argue with you here. Isn't it interesting in nations with clearly Marxist-Maoist leaders like Canada, as the narrative falls apart and the evidence that the vaxx is both ineffective and not safe, that the pressure to take the shots goes UP not down, and the demonization of those who think for themselves ramps up to cultural revolutionary magnitudes?

I think the next great challenge is to make people aware of why this is happening.

Agree! I think there are so many races going on here. The greatest obvioulsy is when and if this will end, that all of us eagerly await. There was an article I read about a prominent doctor at Mass General (where Harvard trains - in MA) saying this is all about to reach it's conclusion - no boosters. It will all be over by the spring. The one race I'm most hoping for is legal accountability. When will that commence? What Fauci has done is apodictic. How much longer must we wait? A firing squad is not enough. Once he goes down the rest follow as you know it will be a cannibalistic feeding frenzy.

How great will it be to watch all these billionaires/pharmaceutical companies/politicians be stripped of every penny and transferred to all those they destroyed. Reiner Fuellmich is claiming every person will receive a million dollars!

The sequel to the vax is going to be a tidal wave over time and will call upon all of us to decide what compassion we will offer the harmed in our family and friends. I suspect there were blanks fired (unwarranted variations in vax lots are under scrutiny) but the pure biology of implanting a trillion spikes into bodies — with the INTENDED end of their attaching to vital vascular and organ cells for destruction by the body’s own immune system— is terrible. The INTENDED mechanism is to spike-implant the body’s own cells so the body can attack itself (eg tag cardiac cells > have them attacked by the killer cell defenses > replace with non contractile fiber tissue that does not pump > exert yourself and crash the heart or stroke) — especially males and athletes. That’s the picture, but now include brain cells, ovaries, all the organs, etc. Current findings by Patterson (according to McCullough) — vax spikes can persist more than a year— leads to a chronic autoimmunity (list top 50 diseases and keep going). Maybe stop throwing the 65 year olds under the bus too —once you get the design, why would it be good for anyone instead of early therapies?? We have not hit the Niagra Falls of cascading bad news, which is just starting to show up in the all-cause death and working age adult groups (40% increases in USA and India). We will have to restructure everything even more to deal with it. Good reasons the Chinese went old school vax. Moreover, the vax shedding can affect the neighboring people of all varieties. This is all largely invisible to even groups like ours. People cannot bear it. Before the plan-demic RFK was talking about chronic illness in children surpassing 50% — but medicine would NOT hear. We have to start looking more deeply at all of it and at the problem of AUTOIMMUNE disease and relapsing cancers from the vax. The attack made by Alex on Tucker’s show = autoimmune are malingerers— and sadly Tucker did a neurolinguistic frame story to introduce Alex on this topic by citing some nameless undescribed EU study so everyone was set-up to think “Oooh - sounds like science” — and generalize the findings uncritically to Alex’s BS about chronic fatigue and fibro. Hoping that was Tucker’s temporary insanity. Here is Dr Bhakdi on the recent autopsies —

Absolutely brilliant!

I too can't help but think what the future holds. I picture scenes reminiscent from hurricane damaged towns with paint marks on the homes signifying no one is inside. Is this what the future holds - possible abandoned homes and businesses - spray painted VAXED! The worst four words in the English language are: I told you so - because it solidifies something terrible happened that was also unavoidable, It was never about being right.

You are right about that. The problem appears to be determining if his undermining it is of greater consequences than his contributions.

I tend to look at a lot of issues as a function of resolution of your view. If you turn down the power of your telescope, the moon is a white round bright smooth ball. If its high enough its a mottled be-speckled pockmarked haphazard landscape. You only really need to know that if you plan to go there.

So let's not turn the magnification up so high that the differences tear down the commonalities, which we urgently need if we are to win this fight. And its an existential fight.

Alex had one job yesterday. Only one job. It was to fall on his sword and apologize profusely.

If he was a normal, sane person who had simply made a grievous mistake, he would have done so yesterday morning. But he didn't do that.

Instead, while his last post of Friday was melting the Substack servers with comment velocity hitting the critical point, there was nothing but crickets from Alex yesterday morning.

Alex, the frenetic Substack poster who posts 3 times a day -- pithy, snarky little posts, not rigorous ones like the post above from the Doc -- before lunchtime on the West Coast.

Finally, at 3pm PST yesterday, Alex doubled down on his madness.

With 3 days and two nights to think on it, I've rejected the notion that Alex is a sane, rational operator. So no, I don't think Phizer or any other enemy paid him for his Fox slander. Nor do I think he's just "egotistical" (i.e. within 1 sigma of you or me).

I think he's "off his rocker". Technically speaking (by a non-technician who can read), here's my best guess: https://floridabhcenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Bipolar-Disorders_Adult-Guidelines-2019-2020.pdf

Entirely possible. If you watch that video closely, Berenson appears unsettled, agitated and irritated when he first appears on camera, even before they go to Dr. Malone for comment. I have experience with mental health disorders in the family and the first thing I thought was, he looks off his meds! Had seen him on camera before and he had always appeared calm and deliberate.

If he is dealing with mental health issues I wish him well, but in any case the attack was completely out-of-line. If it was a one-off thing where he might have had a bad day and a horrendous cab ride on the way over, there is an easy remedy: Apologize. But he is apparently unwilling to do that.

Berenson's demeanor certainly matches up with a pre-meditated, non-sequitor plan to jump Dr Malone. As Dr Malone has pointed out, the discussion issue was the 270 call for Spotify to censor Joe Rogan. I think it might be charitable to consider mental health issues with Berenson, but his reaction since leads me to Dr Malone's question of controlled opposition and all that may entail for Berenson. Leading up to his attack, Berenson definitely seemed in a state of adrenaline, ready to pounce. Mental health or paying the piper??
