Advocating a Risky Experiment Generates A Motive to Conceal Its Failure
Dr. Paul Alexander asks some tough questions about Grant Wahl's death.
My first true crime book—about the Austrian author, journalist, and international serial killer, Jack Unterweger—recounted a strange dilemma suffered by Austria’s intelligentsia after evidence emerged that Jack had murdered several women. The trouble for them was, they had, just a few years earlier, vehemently advocated (through letters and a petition to the Justice Ministry) Jack’s early release from his life sentence in prison for a brutal murder he’d committed in his youth. Their passionate desire to liberate him arose after he published an “autobiographical novel” titled Purgatory. They (a Who’s Who of Austrian writers, artists, journalists, and scientists) found his book so moving, and so apparently expressive of his mature self-awareness, that they asserted it was evidence of his rehabilitation.
About 18 months after he was released from prison with great fanfare, an Austrian daily newspaper reported that a warrant had been issued for his arrest for murdering 7 women in three Austrian cities. Shortly thereafter he also fell under suspicion for murdering three women in Los Angeles and one in Prague, for a total of eleven women.
The lead police investigator, Ernst Geiger, discovered that many Austrian journalists and public commentators were extremely reluctant to acknowledge the extensive circumstantial evidence that Jack was the killer. Especially embarrassing for the Austrian National Broadcasting Corporation was the strange fact that Jack had gotten an assignment to produce a major radio story on the mysterious killer who was stalking Vienna’s red light district, much like “Jack the Ripper” had done in London a century earlier.
Those who’d advocated the extremely risky social experiment did not want to face up to the fact that their gamble had gone the wrong way, resulting in the terrible deaths of eleven young women. Many even seemed to prefer that the arrest warrant be rescinded and the investigation suspended.
This afternoon I was reminded of my first book when I read Dr. Paul Alexander’s reflections on the sudden death of celebrity soccer commentator, Grant Wahl, in the press box at the World Cup in Qatar. Mr. Wahl’s wife, Dr. Celine Gounder, was a member of President Biden’s COVID-19 Advisory Board and a vehement advocate for mass vaccination using the mRNA gene transfer shots developed by Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna.
Dr. Gounder’s high profile endorsement of “The Great Gamble of COVID-19 Vaccine Development” (as Dr. McCullough characterized this massive experiment) raises the concern that she will be reluctant to examine the distinct possibility that these products caused or contributed to her fit young husband’s death.
Dr. Alexander’s fascinating and provocative essay is well worth reading in full.
Thank you for saying this, and with such a fascinating history.

TRANSCRIPT
OLDER MAN IN BASEBALL CAP (a) NOTEATINCRICKETS: Hi guys, me again. I just wanted to touch on my previous video a little bit. You know I think it's high time we really need to start to come together on this. And when this all first started, and the vaccine started rolling out, I wasn't paying attention, I wasn't listening, I soaked in whatever the government was telling me. And you know what, it really took the Freedom Convoy to open my eyes a little bit and to see what was going on. You know, seeing them trucks out in Coutts, and truckers blowing through the barricades, and seeing hundreds of people lined up on the highways supporting the convoy. It was really touching. And that's when I really started to dig deeper and open my eyes.
Sometimes it takes a big man to say, you know what, I screwed up and I'm sorry. Well, from the vaccinated to the unvaccinated, you know what, I'm sorry I didn't listen to you sooner. I'm sorry I let the government get the best of me and think that they had our best interest at heart.
I want to encourage other people who are vaccinated to do the same thing. You know, we got, you might not see it because it doesn't affect you or it doesn't concern you, but people have lost their jobs, they've lost family and friends, they couldn't visit their sick parents in the hospital, they couldn't be at funerals and weddings, you know, some of their friends might have said, you know what you're not vaccinated you're not my friend anymore.
We really need to come back together as a people and start to work together on this. So for me, as a vaccinated person to all the unvaxxed, I'm going to start to train and say, I'm sorry, I fuc*ed up. And thank you, thank you for what you're doing. God bless.
YOUNG WOMAN IN CAR (a) UNIQUEGREENLADY: Alright, I'm going to try and do this without crying. I would just like to say thank you, sir, for your apology. Through all of this bulls*it with covid I've lost friends of over a decade, family has chosen to stop speaking to me. My mother couldn't be present for the birth of my daughter. And for someone who doesn't get apologies very often, this means a lot. I probably won't hear an apology from the people who I think frankly owe me one. So, thank you. Thank you very much.

Having written court ordered investigations on felony cases for fourteen years in the past, I can confirm that the press often has it wrong or just inaccurate, and that they don't work very hard to ascertain truth. They will sometimes support whatever a county attorney tells them, even if there are other motives behind a guilty plea rather than guilt (i.e. the defendant will do a lot more time if he refuses to admit "something" and he looks bad because of history). Conversely, the press sometimes insists that a defendant is innocent when clearly the defendant is guilty, because he/she is likeable or psychopathic or both. When you consider what went on with covid and that the press clearly refused to report anything but "safe and effective" regarding any aspect of the response, it's clear that they have been bought and paid for. I don't know how you'd stop the steady flow of propaganda from our government, but reporting is no longer reporting fact. Most of the press has become a tool of the arrogant and they like believing that they're "in the club", though they're only useful idiots.
