Some are actually OK with it - that's how brainwashed they are. It's nothing new, children have been sacrificed to the 'greater good' throughout history... by the insane.

Yes. I was told it’s ok to sacrifice children for ‘the greater good’. A parent said that. I was floored.

But that parent gets social points for that, see, so it's all good. This is what happens when narcissists are continually rewarded. I consider parents like this to be the Munchausen by Proxy types. It's all for social credit and attention, when you boil it down.

I agree. I know many here in the Bay Area that do it for social point. The medical personnel I know has been utterly brainwashed it’s ok to sacrifice yourself and your children. When they should be focusing on primo non nocere

He’s otherwise normal. But in medicine and this brainwashed to ‘think of the herd before children’. It’s insane. I said sorry bro this is against the oath you took.

I saw through things early on in the pandemic, largely because the actions did fit with the notion of public health from a holistic point of view, and I had a lot of time to research during lock downs.

A cbc test would have shown critically elevated white count, but would have cost the hmo a few hundred $$. At the time, HMOs paid bonuses to Drs based on *not* running diagnostic tests.

My symptoms were severe & blatant. The extreme weight loss alone (20+% in a matter of a few weeks. I looked like a skeleton) was enough to kill. Dr told me it was all in my head & sent me to counseling. Counselor took one look at me & blanched.

That’s exactly my concern with the vaccines: how long does the “risk” of the shots last? People act like it’s a one time risk, like sky diving. But I think of it as as 24/7/365 risk.

The risk continues until our death. N long term studies - because most vaccine side effects occur shortly after innoculation?? Bunk!! No one knows long term risk of an experimental gene therapy.

Exactly. Forever I don’t know, depends when you stop producing the spike protein and then whether you have developed autoimmunity from it.

Many did. As a physician I got vaccinated as early as possible in the hopes that doing so would help reduce transmission. Even though they don’t the vast majority of the health care system still supports vaccine mandates.

The narrative SHOULD be unravelling, but it is NOT. There are answers to all of the facts --on the ready, and they may not make sense, but they are enough for people who need to continue to believe. I argue with people all the time, and it's literally like they've been drugged. They "don't care" that it doesn't work when they were assured it would, they don't mind that they have to take a 3rd shot in less than a year, they don't care that the data is being withheld, or about VAERS or anything you can throw at them.

It was never about facts. They picked their side and they're sticking to it. And the media is right there to back them up. The CDC keeps announcing they have new data which proves the narrative and it's the unicorn juice they all desperately need.

Expand full comment

It's called Mass Formation. 30% are True Believers, 40% sort-of go along (flock effect, or like a school of fish), and then the last 30% are us: we know exactly what's going on. We need to convince that 40 % and get them on our side. You cannot reason nor present facts to the True Believers. They will never change. The people who burned witches way back? well, they were True Believers and went to their grave thinking they did the right thing!

My neighbor has a pHD in Pharmacology and works in big pharma. He's a true believer in every sense of the word. He knows the minute risk in kids but he's getting his littles vaxxed. Even if you can make a strong case for the individual risk benefit not being favorable, he pivots to the greater good, and the social contract we have with society. The expectation is that you are willing to roll the dice to protect the most vulnerable, and that any small impact in the risk of transmission. That a 1:4000 risk of a server adverse event is just the tax you pay to be a good citizen.

Expand full comment

Maybe it's the Mama Bear coming out in me, but I'm not sacrificing my children for a "social contract." My duty as a mother is to protect them. I don't understand why on earth someone would have that philosophy and I don't know of many mothers who would share that viewpoint either. On top of it, the "most vulnerable" are CHILDREN who have their whole lives in front of them, not the elderly. What's wrong with your neighbor??? Weirdo.

And that's the weakest argument of all--the common good. Getting vaxxed doesn't help anyone, not your mom, grandma, the old man next door. Society gets no benefit from any of this--that's the virtue signaling appeal--it works.

Expand full comment

It's so sad that they are ignoring what seems obvious to us and is.

I don't think the risk is that minute in the younger population - the number of adverse events that have been reported is very concerning if you consider that approximately 1% of adverse events are reported to VAERS. No similarly-touted agents would have been allowed continued administration in the past with this number of reports of likely harm. In addition, most children have almost zero risk of dying or being seriously affected from COVID anyway. Why jab them?

Beyond that, I think you can make a very strong argument against anyone being protected by the COVID jabs, either receiving them personally or by their contacts being jabbed. The jabs don't prevent infection or transmission, and I doubt any agent against COVID ever will.

Expand full comment

I believe he was referring to the minute risk to kids from COVID, not the shots.

Upon re-reading it, I believe you are correct. Thank you for noting that.

I got the same. No argument against was accepted. Social contract or else. What’s the smartest way to counter this with their mindset.

Ask if their version of a 'social contract' includes sacrificing kids for no goddamned reason.

Expand full comment

I don’t know. Not even death changes their minds. I blame the media. It singlehandedly perpetuates these lies and blacks out facts across all channels and outlets. That’s powerful.

Expand full comment

There is no counter-argument with the 30% that are under the spell of mass formation. None at all. Not even the death of their child or even their own death will break the spell. In the final stage of mass formation, all semblance of 'self' is erased. There is no individual, only the collective, and your sacrifices for the collective good only strengthen the social bonds you have formed with the collective. To destroy that bond would be akin to suicide. The narrative that binds this collective in solidarity no longer needs any basis in reality. The more ludicrous the narrative, the stronger the bond. Humanity teeters on the edge of an abyss.

While I do agree that the media (includes quite a few entities) is complicit and culpable, I don't give those hypnotized by the media any pass at all. Their choice to not be critical thinkers. Weak and dizzy all over.

Yes but think about living this ordinary life and months and months go by with the same false message— and literally no counter-message. Especially for young people. That’s hard to see at all and even tougher to navigate. I’ve even had to check in with myself and ask, “am I crazy?”

Expand full comment

Close relatives made the case to me for the vax: 1) it's for the common good, 2) "we'll be so sad not to be able to see you unless you get the vax". In other words, 1) judging the unvaxxed as selfish and evil, and 2) emotional blackmail. One of my reactions to 1) is that the pro-vax premise is all wrong. If you assume the vax is completely safe and protects others, then it could be in the common interest for all to get it. But if it is not safe and/or only protects the one who gets it, there is no public health benefit. In fact, if adverse effects are widespread, it's bad for the common good because then a lot of people will be sick or dead. Since we don't know the long-term effects of the injections, you can't claim it is for the greater good since many people could end up harmed by it in the long run. That is a kind of practical argument. In addition, there are philosophical arguments, e.g. the individual is taking on risk by getting the jab and therefore it should be only an individual choice with no mandates/coercion/guilt-tripping to get them to do it.

My BIL is a pharmacist as well. He's not getting it. Not giving to his love, obviously. There is hope.

He's right: if he's willing to remove himself and his offspring from the gene pool, then that IS truly for the greater good.

There is also the problem of "survivorship bias." A group of enthusiasts in a risky venture, say, rock climbing, might discuss the dangers of the sport. "But all of us here have been doing it for years with no major problems!" observes one, validly enough. Too easily forgotten are those who fell and died or otherwise taken out of the game. To the collective mind, it's just the same as if the unfortunates had never existed.

sadly, this is my experience with people who have been jabbed, including one of my sisters. Covidians are a really faithful bunch.

Expand full comment

I agree, it may be unraveling for some, but a majority are propagandized. They've been propagandized with fear, lie repetition and narcissistic goodies of being one of the "good people". I think for these people, it will take a life experience to wake them up out of this. The life experience might be the death or vaccine injury of a loved one as the original dose of vaccine fades and more people take boosters, increasing their risk of side effects. It may be the institution of more totalitarianism in their country that wakes up the feeling that something is not right.

Expand full comment

There are whisper numbers of the boosters wearing off faster than the 2 does regimen. Maybe the further unravelling will be when the booster frequency is 4 months, and then three.

Expand full comment

I am in Singapore. My Mother-in-law, total unquestioning believer of the powers that be, took the booster as soon as it was offered in early Oct. 1 month later, she has covid (past the initial 14 day period after each jab when the immune system is still dealing with the shot). They're not letting people into the hospitals unless you're about to knock off, ambulance blaring etc, so she has to do 'recovery' at home with no meds.

So (1) - her booster only lasted 1 mth in terms of infection protection. Moderate symptoms, she is perfectly healthy, early 70's with zero underlying medical issues. (2) 10+% of all the vexed hospital cases are boosted. Overall about 20% of the population has been boosted so it's a pretty quick climb up for the boosted hospital cases. (3) Singapore is similiar to Israel, in that most of the jabs are Pfizer... maybe 2% were using the Chinese vax and another 5% Moderna. My best guess is that Delta+ has found a target rich environment where most of the immune systems it's encountering is pfizer-vexed one, so has mutated to take full advantage of it.

Expand full comment

Sadly I fear you're right. I've thought so many times that "this is it, the evidence that lays bare all the lies", and no matter how much the data, facts, truth, evidence (whatever you want to refer to it as) undermine the official narrative, those in the cult simply dig their heels in even more. I think it will take something so massive and undeniable, that it quite literally collapses the whole house of cards before their very eyes. Until then, or until we each reach the hill we're ready to die on, we must hold on as best we can and resist. I do see a bit of hope however in the "middling majority" who were hoping until now that their compliance would buy them normalcy, and who are slowly waking up to the fact that it hasn't yielded the desired return to normal. Some of them have drawn their line at jabbing their kids, and I do see a glimmer of light in that.

Gullible, credulous nature in (probably) the majority of humans has existed since the dawn of civilization. It has been much used for purposes both noble and base, whether by the first tribal leader or witch doctor, to priests and ministers, and now refined by psychology research, into tools of mass manipulation, whether by military for war, by corporations for market share, or by governments for manipulation and control.

Expand full comment

You can't browbeat people, they get defensive. So to explain my booster skepticism (I did get vaccinated last spring, regretfully) I've tried to formulate a non-confrontational, simple list of inarguable facts:

1. Vaccines don't keep you from getting infected.

2. Vaccines don't keep you from transmitting infection (the head of the CDC said so).

3. Vaccines do provide some protection against severe symptoms and death.

4. The CDC has acknowledged they have no evidence of a previously infected person becoming reinfected and infectious.

Based on these basic facts, one has to question why the unvaccinated are being demonized, and why there is increasing pressure to be vaccinated or get boosters.

Vaccinations protects the person vaccinated against severe disease, and does not protect anyone else. Therefore, vaccination should be voluntary. People can decide for themselves about the risks and benefits.

Expand full comment

5. Outside of a few high risk groups, Covid isn't even dangerous.

Expand full comment

Not necessary for my argument. My argument is that vaccination should be voluntary. The dangerousness of covid is one of those trigger issues.

Expand full comment

Absolutely. I just say (and I stole it from someone I heard say it), "Where there is risk there has to be choice." But even that can trigger people! We have a whole group of people "out there" that think that there's no way that medicine could ever be risky! It's uncanny! I can die if I take a whole bottle of baby aspirin! This is so frustrating sometimes.

Expand full comment

These people have become convinced that Covid carries a lot of risk and vaccines carry none. But messing with our immune systems always has a lot of risk. Maybe one silver lining is people will see that...but only after some pretty bad outcomes.

Expand full comment

It's the word "safe". It's a disgusting word for regulators to use since it literally does not mean safe. Safe means there is no risk. Safe as used by regulators is a function of risk.

For quite awhile now the uber left has been obsessed with safety. They remove equipment on school playgrounds because kids might get hurt. Universities create "safe rooms". Safe safe safe, it's all about being safe.

Expand full comment

Well the convo I had with a md was acknowledging basically no risk to kids and young healthy folks. Argument was everyone has to take vax to protect the weak, unvaced or to help recover the economy.

Expand full comment

But that's what doesn't make sense. Getting vaccinated doesn't keep you from getting infected or from spreading the infection. So what good is it, aside from keeping you out of the hospital maybe? It does nothing to protect others.

An argument could even be made that vaccinated people, because their symptoms are not as severe, might not stay home if they get sick but rather go out and about and spread it around.

Expand full comment

My Dr got the Pfizer and refused the J&J on religious grounds. She asked me if I'd gotten the vax yet, and I said "No and I don't intend to get it." She at least has known me long enough to not push it any farther. A few ago I refused statins too. She just said "If you change your mind, let me know."

Expand full comment

I think it was Taleb in one of his books, probably "Black Swan", that made an interesting point: there's a difference between risk and uncertainty. In (say) investing or insurance underwriting, it's often easy to predict a risk. But it's uncertainty that is the joker in the deck, the unknown unknowns that sometimes blindside the best-laid plan. Applied to the COVID-19 pandemic, for example, by now we know with quite high confidence the risks of death by age group from the virus. It's pretty low. But for "uncertainty" the biggest would probably be the unknown long-term side effects of the vaxxes.

Expand full comment

And of those high risk groups, they have to be on their way out already for it to kill them.

Expand full comment

It's nearly impossible to see all of this madness over almost 2 years and not know in our gut (for those of us who can still reason and think) that there *has* to be another agenda behind all of this. There just has to be. These monsters can't *all* be just plain stupid. Or can they? I've felt from 2-week-in last year that something just wasn't right. I still have the same feeling. The shots don't work. But they must be doing something? Finding out what they (the shots) are really doing, to me, is the question. Maybe that's why (to my knowledge anyway) there still isn't an accurate and truthful list of the ingredients anywhere? Could it be that if the right people actually saw what is in these things there would be a public outcry or revolt? Ok. I'll shut up now. I need to go get another booster. ;-) (Oh and sorry for your shot remorse man. A lot of people really thought they were doing the right thing at the time, for themselves or their family)

Expand full comment

Almost certainly another agenda, but like you I cant nail it down. It could be as simple as $ or as evil as a population cull. But, everyone (Medical field) knows you cannot stop upper respiratory viruses with a vaccine; mutates too fast and in a bad direction. They also know the very real risks (ie, Marek's disease in chickens) of a leaky vaccine. Scary times when you cannot figure out angle.

I just started reading Roitt's essential immunology, and wrote a quick intro on it.

I think we need to change the message:

from: Vaccines provide some protection against severe symptoms and death

to: Antibodies provide some protection against severe symptoms and death

I realise this is pedantic, but hear me out: the immune system does not leap to producing antibodies when infected. There are so many layers and processes involved before it even thinks about generating antibodies. Antibodies are not immunity. "Immunity waning" is actually "antibodies waning", which is what they are meant to do when you are no longer infected with spike proteins post-vaccination, or covid virions post-infection. It's a good thing, not a bad thing!

The entire message re: vaccines and "protection" is completely wrong.

Stoichastic, and RTR... As someone diagnosed with a rare supposedly-autoimmune disease over a decade ago, I've done a lot of reading about the immune system. There's nothing like having a mysterious chronic disease to make one skeptical of the modern medical establishment.

You're absolutely correct about the distinction between immunity and antibodies. Most people only understand the immune system at the bumper sticker (or meme) level: antibodies. Never mind the innate immune system. Biological organisms are an incredibly intricate system of interconnected feedback mechanisms, of which the immune system is one of the most complex parts. That's why, normally, testing a new vaccine or other pharmaceutical is supposed to take years, because there can be unintended long-term consequences.

It's very unfortunate that the whole Covid panic, due to a number of perfect storm factors, has enabled some amazing profitability for pharmaceutical companies, who've pretty much captured government anyway, so we're going to see this kind of fast rollout of all kinds of stuff in the near future. They're already talking about an mRNA vaccine for Lyme disease (something else I have direct Intimate experience with.)

I had no prior exposure to immunology, but even at a cursory glance the system blows me away. Just amazing. And so capable, despite what we are being sold now.

I know what you mean. My dealings with Lyme and the political and horrible decisions and directives of the CDC were my hard lessons. Also, my last vaccination put me in the hospital.

Expand full comment

What has perplexed me for a while is why is the vaccine induced immune response - which we can assume is real on some level - is not inducing an adaptive response in B and T cells? Why is the immune response not longer lasting even once the antibodies fade? It is either not inducing an adaptive response or the target antigens have mutated. If the latter, a booster will have almost no effect.

Expand full comment

RTR - another pet hypothesis I have is that the vaccine-induced antibodies generated against the small part of the spike only involve a few B cells and their eventual memory cells. Even vaccines that are just to toxins (like tetanus) probably provoke a broader range of B cells, and therefore even pruning of B cells down the road doesn't take all the important memory cells out of commission.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong - but have we EVER had a vaccine that elicits such a narrow range of matching B cells? Often people compare vaccines to natural infection and note the smaller range of antibody response, but this spike-tiny-section - isn't it the tiniest thing we've ever made a vaccine for?

Expand full comment

Never. Not that I know off. We have no idea what this does. How the lipid coating interacts with our cells, or the small change in amino acids for the mRNA. Nobody really knows. Heck they don’t even know why some folks get myocarditis. Safe my ass

I am glad that the injections are so useless, our skepticism is so obviously justified.

RTR - One hypothesis is that the vaccine does not provoke cell-mediated (T cell) immune response and memory cells, and that these ultimately are more important in long-term immunity than the vaccine-illicited imbalanced B cell humoral (antibody) response.

Expand full comment

Ahha - but what if it is? What if the immune system does not get a chance to do its thing?

What if these people who survive with a booster would not survive without it because of whatever reason, so we force everyone to boost regardless??

There's one of 2 possibilities:

1. the vaccine does not in fact work, as you suggest

2. the immune system does work, the B and T cell adaptive response IS there, and it does what it needs BUT SOME PEOPLE ARE GOING TO DIE ANYWAY.

I think #2 is true. It's just that now we have started down this road, nobody is allowed to die of covid, so we force (potentially unnecessary) antibody production every 6 months instead of letting the immune system do its thing.

The evidence for my hypothesis is mentioned in the article I wrote - despite being not-fully vaccinated, 98.7% of people in Singapore experience mild or asymptomatic symptoms.

Do you know how many die there, non-fully vaccinated? 0.9 per 100,000. That's a CFR of 0.0009% ffs.

So, for you this whole thing is capitalist Pharma and Fauci, et al taking advantage of a growing fem culture (scared all the time) to make a bunch of cash. And the medical outcome may end up in the same spot whether or not we did anything as a society....as long as vacc not toxic somehow?

Never let a good crisis to go waste.

I think Fauci (administration) wanted to play god, or at least finance people playing god. It worked, they got what they were looking for: GoF was a roaring success.

Pharma want to play god (I heal you, or keep you alive at least).

The key was politicians wanting to play god - you do what i say when i say.

More than any of these three, politicians want power, they revel in it, they are psychopaths.

The money is a by-product, IMO, and it's crony capitalism, IMO, not capitalism as it could /should exist / operate. It's corrupted, but perhaps that is true of all human systems.

It doesn't matter how much salary Queensland politicians make, if they can go to one of the 2 restaurants in parliament in Qld and nobody checks they are vaccinated, but every other restaurant in the state does, and excludes unvaccinated people. Power. Elitism. That IMO is the underlying, subconscious motivation.

Which is exactly the point one begins to sense something very dark is going on. I don't like going down such rabbit holes but at some point you do start to wonder because it is so obviously unscientific.

It's only the latest in a very long series of claims by the Left, sometimes that become enforceable by law. All peoples are equal; there are no measurable group differences. Any claims of differing disease risk, norms of behavior or other traits, are "racist," despite whatever scientific evidence is offered. Women are interchangeable with men; if you question this (in employment settings for example) you will be penalized by the government. The very concept that many differences are innate is anathema to these ideologues. All human beings are exactly the same, raw material that can be shaped to fit chosen goals.

"People" get pregnant, implying that men can get knocked up (this gem from the WHO earlier this year). A baby's sex is a multiple-choice question the parent can have the physician assign when the birth certificate is filled out (AMA).

EXACTLY "Antibodies provide some protection against severe symptoms and death" the vaccine may or may not initiate any level of protection, and duration is also extremely variable...the bottom line is, that each individual based on many factors will respond in their own way (The response of an 80 year old, will certainly be different than a 8 year old) furthermore, the real kicker has always been, what is the T-Cells and B-Cells and other already innate immunity responses. Dr. Geert Vanden Bossche has spoken and written in depth on this subject, here is an interesting piece: https://www.geertvandenbossche.org/post/the-unforgivable-sin. (the video is no longer available for some reason where he went into T-Cell/ B-cell ect. ).

In the very early days when I started digging around, I will never forget running across a statement by Tal Zaks (ya know the guy who was chief scientist brought on by Moderna who started selling off 1 million dollars of stock weekly until he reached about 60 million, then announced he was leaving Moderna before the "mRNA vaccines for SARS-CoV-2" even rolled out) he admitted that the focus would likely need to on T-Cell hinting that the current formula wasn't getting the response that would ultimately be needed.

The story of Canada is making it hard for me to remain optimistic that the narrative will fall apart.

I know FAR too many people who said, "Oh well, I don't think I need it, but I'll just get the jab so I can go on with my life." They gave up and gave in. When the narrative shifted from, "the vaccine will end the pandemic" to "the vaccine will prevent severe illness," they said, "oh well, the experts know best." The vaccine is now mandated for restaurants, health care facilities, nursing homes, gyms, movie theatres, museums, etc. These same people who told me months ago that they would oppose mandates are now saying, "well, it's not so bad, and we can't fight this anyway," so they faithfully downloaded their obedience pass and glibly comply with all the mandates.

We are a nation of cowards. Those who do oppose the covid mandates are rapidly cancelled, silenced, and bullied out of the public discourse. The booster is now available and the sheep are all lining up for it. I could point the lies out to them all day, but they do not really care. For them, the path of least resistance is always preferable. It's impossible to imagine our idiotic leadership changing course because even those who claim to be opposed to them obey them without question.

I hope America will fully awaken and show us the way out, but Canada may never wake up. Our national anthem is now an ironic joke. We are no longer "the true north strong and free," we are now the duped north weak and enslaved, and absolutely NOBODY is standing on guard for us.

I am in Ontario. There IS a resistance here.

I met a freedom fighter who has accumulated around $1 million in fines! There are also a couple of restaurants in Peterborough who are not complying. Also small protests every week. I feel more hopeful that eventually the truth will win. You are right that most Canadians are folding because "I want to see my grandkids" or "I want to travel."

Then I started hearing about future prion diseases, spike proteins zipping thru the veins instead of staying in the shoulders, Guillain-Barré syndrome, even hints of Parkinson's. I immediately started researching -- I got everything suggested to counteract the jab. Pine needle tea. Chaga Mushroom Tea. NAC. I was already on the FLCCC prophylactic protocol. I am old -- way past my life expectancy,, but I exercise, yoga, tai chi, and feel (mentally) as young as I did decades ago, so ::shrug:: whatever will be, will be; but it's the children, our children and grandchildren, and the powerful enticing and sometimes forcing them to take the jab, even if they've had covid. Ignore natural immunity? Now this is the stab to my heart for the young ones. I haven't even mentioned the reaction of so many young men with the pericarditis and the myocarditis or the heart attacks and strokes of the older people.

We are in evil times. We really are.

I think we are all excited and ready for the release of COVIDIA the board game ( a cross between Life and Scategories?) where you get to choose certain starting points but you can never go back... categories include unvaxxed, unvaccinated-exposed-but-seronegative, unvaccinated-naturally-infected, partially-vaxxed, fully vaxxed, naturally-infected-with-added-vax, partially-vaxxed-injured, fully-vaxxed-injured, and so on...

Coming soon: COVIDIA the game booster pack with all new categories: boosted, fully vaxxed-unboosted.

In the near future: COVIDIA Super Booster Pack, new and improved categories: monoboosted, duoboosted, triboosted, quatroboosted...

Wait, I think we're living that board game.

Quatroboosted literally made me LOL. Like Fast and the Furious: COVID Drift.

We are suffering from "Battered Nation Syndrome." Incarceration and forced biological experiments and we take it. See if any of these nuggets fit the situation:

"Look at what you made me do!"

"It's all your fault!"

"You are so much like...."

"If you treated me with more respect...."

"If you didn't react that way...."

"Because you don't listen to me, I had to...."

"Your words hurt me so....

"You wont take me seriously so...."

"You brought this on yourself...."

"You’re just being sensitive...."

They're definitely in a tough spot. How do you convince people to get a shot while simultaneously telling those who have gotten that same shot that they are not protected?

Expand full comment

They dont use logic, they use trauma. Many people are in a hive mind, and literally have handed over their agency. Their trigger words are safe and effective when coming from the authority. The state is a classic narcissistic abuser.

Adam - "handed over their agency". Excellent point and all too true.

That's so true. My daughter sees her cardiologist every few years for a congenital issue. While there I asked his opinion of the vaxx for kids. Just out of curiosity (I am NOT vaxxed and NOT vaxxing my kids). He says "oh they are safe and effective." I was floored. Like just verbatim slogans.

2020 - I think they must know at this point that the already jabbed are the easier prey. Many of those dopes will just keep lining up in perpetuity. They've practically convinced themselves it's like taking a vitamin or something.

For those of that have been long hold-outs? For us nothing but punishments of varying levels are coming.

My message to those who have assumed control (Mainly using self-appointed emergency powers). Often assuming and using fear, you created the atmosphere of urgency to coerce many to accept the vaccine, for the good of the majority.

However, despite the best use of 'Nudge/Propaganda and censorship', slowly but surely the alternative view has spread through the population in most countries.

Little things like allowing the vaccines to be used under politically motivated emergency licensing, with the pharmaceutical companies being protected from legal action, are a huge civil rights issue.

More recently nations bringing in apartheid based on segregation based on enforced medical procedures, has further established the devide between self-appointed pseudo-governments and democratic rights.

In 1930s Germany, it didn't end well. Eventually the same will be true again.

Expand full comment

At least in the 1930 the entire world didn't jump off the deep end simultaneously. There were many people to fight and rein in the evil doers. Nowadays, I have to wonder if there is any major group with power to overwhelm them.

Expand full comment

No ruling oligarchy ever was (nor, probably ever will be) free of internal factions. The Soviet Union's many purges are a good example. So to answer your question, with speculation: Yes, there are or will almost certainly be groups that will fight amongst themselves. This will lead to unpredictable changes, or a collapse, of the current systems. Alas, the tiny folk (the vast majority of the population) must invariably suffer collateral damage.

Expand full comment

Agreed....that does appear to be the case historically and it is increasingly true now. The powerless are the ones who suffer most.

Germany was fine in the 1930s (except certain, er, unfavored parts of society). Now the 1940s... 🤔 I concede the point, that it began in 1930s (or even earlier, e.g. the defeat of WW I, or whatever reference point an historian might choose.)

Is it me (my brain) am I missing something?

Back during 2020 and the death numbers were being broadcast daily, the logic was that people with Covid and died were recorded as having died of Covid not merely having died with Covid. Remember? Reading the UK PHE data linked to in the above article this quote is under the data regarding deaths “Individuals in risk groups may also be more at risk of hospitalisation or death due to non-COVID-19 causes, and thus may be hospitalised or die with COVID-19 rather than because of COVID-19.”

This same line of thinking was shunned during 2020 when they wanted Covid death numbers to be as scary as possible. Now it’s encouraged to minimize the number of vaccinated deaths. ? Am I seeing it right? If not please assist.

Expand full comment

the other scary thing is that now we have people on both sides - myself included, to my deep sorrow and sadness- some weird satisfaction when we learn of a person who died because it fits their narrative.

Example: Friend, 57 male, dropped dead from a massive heart attack late Oct. We just found out. "Was he vaxxed?" is not really something we feel we can ask but I assumed he was because they asked donations be made to National Public Radio and he didn't have a real funeral. Dropped dead, talking to wife one minute and dead the next. I am sorry he died but to be honest I popped that arrow in my quiver to use.

But both sides do it. A person "fit" person is hospitalized with the covid and the smug Pro Shots person is all "well, if they would have vaxxed...."

I just hate we are gaining in smugness over untimely deaths. Those em-effers foisting this b.s. on us are the sickest of us all.

There have been more than a few very strange obituaries the last few months where I live. YOUNG men mostly (20s, 30s, 40s mostly) , described as "dying unexpectedly" or "suddenly". No mention of vaxes or covid or any kind of illness at all, but I have to wonder about it. I've lived here for 34 years and have never seen anything like this.

Absolutely agree. I notice it in myself too. I started deleting contacts who vax their kids and virtue signaling it on SM as too far gone to reach, then I stopped because I thought it might be useful to keep track of what happens. Yuck. I do not want any of these kids to have bad results!! But more than that I don’t want my children to be victimized. That is my basest instinct. So bring on the shitshow ASAP before it’s our turn to squirm. I’ll repent later.

Didn't have a real funeral? What does that mean?

Expand full comment

It means that this person, whose obituary "joked" about how he attended numerous "Catholic" schools throughout his life, whose now-passed mother was a old-school Catholic, a man who had a storied career in photojournalism and many friends through his community and family had a 4 hour "visitation" at a funeral home. There was no actual funeral or mention of prayer service or any kind of formal send off that we were able to learn of from others who may know more or in the obit. That is odd to me and others of this group of friends who knew him.

2020 was about Trump. But they made some of the most egotistical people on the planet into heroes and television / Tipton celebrities. They've been trying to shut it off for almost the entire year but everytime they try to change topic, the new celebrity class does whatever they can to keep themselves relevant. The old celebrity class is powerless and pathetic at this point. They need a new crisis that will forcibly change the news cycle but the crisis needs to be on par with the virus hysteria. Either a foreign war where they can control a narrative or a new great depression where they cede control in the short term? Not sure what will be enough to reset this thing.

Gato. I tend to agree with Al. I still see too many people believing the lies, going for their boosters, and willing to inoculate their children. They have bought the worse lie of all; if they don't do as they are told, they will die of covid... But I certainly hope you are right, and everything will start falling.

I have a friend like that. Her grandkids 5 and 8 just hit vaxxed. She talks about avoiding maskless stores and church which has a mix. Most of my friends are getting the booster. Sigh.

Here's his company's corporate edict:

The hourly employees who travel the most and have the most contact with the outside world: exempt from the jab

The salaried employees who have far more limited contact with the outside world: must get the jab

All in the name of (cough-cough) health.

My son's employer insists that management employees must take the jab because they need to be "leaders" in the fight against covid. I have a recurring fantasy that I find where upper management lives and force them, Clockwork Orange style, to watch the Frontline doctors videos.

They would probably watch with their fingers in their ears and eyes tightly closed while saying "la la la la la".

Expand full comment

Oh, and their reasoning for *not* mandating the jab for hourly employees is because they, the company, are afraid that so many of them would quit rather than take the jab that it would greatly harm the business.

So...the company is more concerned with their business' health than with the general welfare, IF the jabs work. And if the jabs DON'T work...then WTF are they mandating it for the salaried employees??

Absolute shit for brains and shit for integrity at the top echelon of that company.

OSHA backed off the mandates and said they will abide by the court's decision. So if an employer says you have to be vaxxed, it is incorrect.

They've only suspended it, pending the litigation. They can still reinstate it later. And an employer can impose its own mandate if it so chooses, even if OSHA and every other governmental agency don't issue the directives.

The problem is with sh*theads who seem to occupy, disproportionately, the top spots at much of corporate America.
