Christine here. I’ll be hosting a voice chat again tomorrow, July 26th, at 3pm Pacific, 5pm Central, 6pm Eastern or whatever time it converts to in your time zone. For those who haven’t attended one before they’re an informal chance to say hi, connect, acknowledge where we’re at and explore whatever topics or themes feels most relevant for us. The banner at the top of the channel shows the countdown to it and you can click on that banner at the time of to join. Looking forward to it.

“These are ‘organic’ tampons. These tampons contain titanium dioxide. It’s a pigment used to make the cotton appear whiter. Talk about white washing a product. This is craziness given titanium dioxide has been declared a class 2 possible human carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer. This so also the ingredient being highlighted in the Skittles lawsuit. Why any company would feel it’s more important for a tampon to be white than safe is beyond understanding. But it is the nature of the world we live in. Profits before people in the current 3d realm. While this is a much better option than conventional tampons, made with GMO cotton -sprayed with tons of glyphosate before harvest and then turned into a product to be placed in wombs around the world - it’s still harmful.

Diva cups like OrganiCup are much better, safer alternatives.

Genuine questions for my vegan friends, as I am not vegan.

What do you say to those who have tried a vegan diet (even multiple types: raw, fruitarian, just fruits and vegetables, etc.) and genuinely feel worse?

Also, I know two farmers with organic farms. One who is a vegetarian. She says that running a farm changed her perspective on food because in order to keep some of her crops free of pests, she sometimes has have her husband kill the pests. What are your thoughts on this?

Lastly, knowing what’s said above, if you eat nose to tail/hunt for your own food (meaning you’re only taking the life of 1-2 beings for sustenance, lasting months), aren’t you participating in killing *less* than if you had eaten strictly vegan?

I’ll also add this— I have several friends that were vegan for 5-10 years (happy to name them in the comments) who now incorporate meat/animal products into their diet again and feel much, much better.

In response to my above post. Spot on.

Vegan works for some. Not all.

Steve Kirsch & co. wrote this article about me and others:

Here was my response 😊:

“Hey, Steve. 

It’s gratifying to know that you’re determined to ascertain whether virology is based on actual science or a set of false beliefs. Partly as a result of your efforts, the public is engaged with this issue as never before. The evidence can be found in the comments sections of your posts about the viral challenge. 

Your readers are displaying an increasingly clear and accurate view of the issues. The process we are engaged in should reflect the seriousness of the issue. The accuracy of virology is a scientific question, not something that can or should be settled with "bets" or "retired judges" or repeated mudslinging, as has been the case.  

Recently, the science advisors on your team sent us an article and produced a video that they claim show "irrefutable" proof that the SARS-CoV-2 virus exists. Tomorrow, on Dr. Cowan's weekly webinar (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzxdc2o0Q_XZIPwo07XCrNg), Dr. Cowan, Mike Donio, Mike Stone and Dr. Kaufman will provide clear arguments and evidence that this paper and video provide no such evidence. In fact, the paper re-states the same arguments we have already disproven. Dr. Lee and Dr. Fleming have offered to publicly comment on the paper written by Mark Bailey about the Lee journal pre-print (https://drsambailey.com/warnings-signs-you-have-been-tricked-by-virologists-again). We look forward to hearing their responses to this paper, as well as to tomorrow's video.  

This type of clear, accurate discussion of the scientific evidence is how these issues are meant to be settled. The public is engaged, the process is working. We look forward to our continued collaboration.  

All the best,

Alec”

I sincerely do NOT mind vegans. A lot of my best friends are vegan. They respect my choices and I respect theirs.

What I do mind is logical fallacies, misleading claims, and a lack of knowledge regarding what veganism contributes to/ requires with the production of organic fruits and veggies (again, unless you’re growing your own food and eating from that exclusively).

Here’s a text from my friend who is a vegetarian and runs a large-scale organic fruits and veggies farm.

So let’s think about this— I eat nose to tail. I eat organs, brains, use the bones, eat all the cuts of meat, bought directly from a farmer. That ONE animal lasts me 3-4 months. So 1 life taken for my sustenance.

Do you buy your produce from grocery stores? Do you buy it directly from farmers? If you answer “yes” to either of those, you’re contributing to the taking of life AS WELL, and LIKELY more life being taken. It is reality (a reality many of those who attack me for my choice to eat meat don’t want to discuss).

Is a mouse’s life, a mole’s life, a fox’s life, a groundhog’s life less important than a cow’s? No? Then I don’t want to hear anything about veganism preserving life.

Growing food, eating food, etc. requires life and death. That is reality. It’s not all pretty. It is not all rainbows and butterflies.
