Their fear is what makes them who they are. I have a neighbor like this. Absolutely terrified of Covid and has gotten at least 4 Covid vaccines. Doesn't matter. Still will not sit in a restaurant and hides at home. I honestly believe Covid has become an actual identity for many. They cling to it and need it for some reason.
Well, sure! I recognized quite early on that for many of my "terrified" friends and relatives, this was a Godsent cosplay opportunity. They were able to trade in their meaningless, empty lives and live in the midst of a world-ending plague, struggling as best they could (Zooming into work and ordering their groceries online) to stay alive, aware that at any minute the magical monstrous virus might render them and all their loved ones (at least the ones they haven't disowned for being anit-vaxx conspiracy theorists) deathly ill and possibly dead. The fact that the odds of that gory end were vanishingly small, since they knew no one personally who died or even got seriously ill, made the excitement all the more pleasurable, sort of like watching a horror movie, where they could be scared while knowing they were risking nothing.
Little did they understand they were risking everything important: all our freedom, an uncorrupted government and society, their very souls. People who are insisting on forcing masks onto all of us and continuing to act terrified of the "covid" are clinging to their starring role in this grotesque movie they never want to end. Unfortunately, the rest of us are constantly being sucked into their fantasy world, which is very dystopian indeed.
I actually hypothesize that the sad cohort that you speak of was an unintended consequence of the mass experiment (Part I), but I do not doubt that their rabid adherence to the lie is, for the Borg entities that engineered this, a very pleasant unexpected side effect indeed.
I hide at home too, but it's not due to any fear of Covid which I never had from the beginning, it's because I simply can't tolerate the slightest vestiges of the idiotic infection control measures that pervaded everyday life. For instance, the QR codes for menus and the insistence on payment by debit card and the far too many people still wearing masks.
Yes, I have another comment in this thread that dovetails on this concept. Covid IS their identity and these are people who before Covid lacked a sense of purpose and identity. When Covid came along they latched right onto it.
Covid is who they are. It gave their meaningless lives meaning. It cast them sometimes as the Hero (when they do their pointless rituals) and as the victim (when they get it despite all those pointless rituals), as a savior, as an advisor. Also it got them to shift blame for their inadequacies on to someone/something else. They're not giving that up.
In theory at least, religion encourages people to live better lives.
All the C0VID hysteria has done has encouraged Karen to yell at strangers, inoculate her children with a death jab and alienate her family and friends.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me into taking five ineffective and dangerous experimental shots for a mostly harmless virus, that's pharmaceutical-grade stupid.
I've long been aware of mental disarmament: convincing people that they have no choice but to be victims. It is more effective at controlling people than physical disarmament and the two together are 100% effective.
Had to deal with this when teaching self defense to women in the 1970s (voluntarily). They'd been damaged by conditioning to assume that they could not defend themselves. Teaching skills and technique was easy compared to convincing them that "yes you can!" (to paraphrase a former campaign cheer).
Mass formation psychosis. Once they drink the kool-aid, it consumes their every waking moment. They CAN'T let it go because it has become the essence of their existence. Anything that conflicts with their new-found purpose is ignored as if it never happened.
Unfortunately I wish that covid was over and it would be if we had abided by the Great Barrington d clarion because we would have reached population immunity. However since someone has chosen to massively lie to the world, leaky non sterilizing RNA injections have been almost intravenously fed to the masses. Try listening to Gerry Van Den Bosch. Theze injections are allowing thousands of variants to thrive abd get more virulent while causing the immune system to stop responding. Soon a variant will come along that will depopulate the vaxxed...society will grind to a halt, and the only hope will be the mass use of anti Virals and the prayer that the unvaxxed can generate enough herd immunity to act as a defense for the vaxed.
Covid is a respiratory virus. I note that in the presence of Covid the flu appears to have gone on vacation. Does anyone know where it went? Asking for a friend....
I have read that left untreated and for certain individuals, "COV!D" can become a circulatory illness. If that spike protein on the "virus" gets into the circulatory system, it can wreak havoc.
That's why early, early treatment of the standard symptoms is critical. Disguising denial of treatment as the national "protocol," which advised staying home until you're so sick you can barely breathe is criminal in and of itself. (It happens with respiratory infections. Happened to my mother more than three decades ago. She ended up dying; it was simply too late.)
I read the same thing about covid: circulatory illness but didn't understand it very well. It's probably true, the person explaining was an expert I believe.
Here's a paragraph from a letter written to the FDA by UCLA physician, Patrick Whelen, written back in Dec 2020 on UCLA letterhead. Dr. Whelan expresses a variety of concerns, but I think this paragraph summarizes those well:
"While there are pieces to this puzzle that have yet to be worked out, it appears that the viral spike protein that is the target of the major SARS-CoV-2 vaccines is also one of the key agents causing the damage to distant organs that may include the brain, heart, lung, and kidney. Before any of these vaccines are approved for widespread use in humans, it is important to assess in vaccinated subjects the effects of vaccination on the heart (perhaps using cardiac MRI, as Puntmann et al. did). Vaccinated patients could also be tested for distant tissue damage in deltoid area skin biopsies, as employed by Magro et al. As important as it is to quickly arrest the spread of the virus by immunizing the population, it would be vastly worse if hundreds of millions of people were to suffer long-lasting or even permanent damage to their brain or heart microvasculature as a result of failing to appreciate in the short-term an unintended effect of full-length spike protein-based vaccines on these other organs."
Prior to this paragraph, he spoke about the damage to distant organs by the viral spike protein...In this paragraph, he expressing how the mRNA "full-length" spike protein is worse!
“It appears that the viral spike protein that is the target of the major SARS-CoV-2 vaccines is also one of the key agents causing the damage to distant organs that may include the brain, heart, lung, and kidney.”
It is worse. S1 part has worse cholinergic blocking effects.
Cardiovascular illness of the lungs in that respiration isn't the problem, the hemoglobin/red blood cells aren't picking up oxygen well. And there is excess free iron. Vitamin C and iron chelators and ARB blood pressure meds would help more than a vent. The people can physically breathe and turn blue.
The letter is via https://www.regulations.gov/document/FDA-2020-N-1898-0246. Few seem aware of his warning that now seems quite astute. Obvious that his cautionary message was ignored. Must pass this on to Kirsch in his ongoing war with our government.
Thank you very much for this. I found Whelan's letter on the UCLA letterhead in PDF from the article I linked, but this link here is terrific.
It has astonished me from the very beginning of this "vaccine" madness that the injection's payload has instructions to make the thing that 'everybody says" is the thing that makes SARS-CoV2 a "killer" -- the spike protein! I do not need an M.D. or a PhD to know that that sounds like complete madness, stupidity -- or worse.
nutshell, Fauci lied, it isn't gone. We had a more severe flu actually and the numbers were smushed into CoV Plandemic and the implication is that Fauci is trying to direct attention towards China and away from US research on the 1918 Flu virus.
Addition - this affected patient care as flu would have some other treatments to use in addition to treating a comorbid CoV infection. Coroner reports listed flu and CoV on death certificates. That is what John Cullen used.
there are about 300 flu viruses, but you only see 1 or sometimes 2 in a season, this is because one will dominate the rest have nowhere to go. same with covid
Yes. Yet they didn't change the goalposts for 'pandemic' -- which IIRC was something like 4.2% of people having Flu/Pneumonia before the 'official' designation. When you simply added covid to those numbers, you were ALWAYS going to be 'officially' over the limit because you only needed like .8% of the people to have covid to bump up the flu/pneumonia numbers.
This is all true (and important!), though my specific point here was that the ILI baseline was already SUPER SUPER close to 'emergency' status, and that simply throwing covid into the bucket was a sure-fire way to ensure an 'emergency'.
"The CDC's decision to play up flu deaths dates back a decade, when it realized the public wasn't following its advice on the flu vaccine. During the 2003 flu season "𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐮𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧'𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐥𝐨𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐯𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐞,"... Flu results in "about 250,000 to 500,000 yearly deaths" worldwide, Wikipedia tells us. "The typical estimate is 36,000 [deaths] a year in the United States," reports NBC, citing the Centers for Disease Control. ... According to the National Vital Statistics System in the U.S., for example, annual flu deaths in 2010 amounted to just 500 per year -- fewer than deaths from ulcers (2,977), hernias (1,832) and pregnancy and childbirth (825), and a far cry from the big killers such as heart disease (597,689) and cancers (574,743).... Even that 500 figure for the U.S. could be too high, according to analyses in authoritative journals such as the American Journal of Public Health and the British Medical Journal. Only about 15-20 per cent of people who come down with flu-like symptoms have the influenza virus -- the other 80-85 per cent actually caught rhinovirus or other germs that are indistinguishable from the true flu without laboratory tests, which are rarely done. In 2001, a year in which death certificates listed 257 Americans as having died of flu, only 18 were positively identified as true flus"
Vincent, a gentle correction -- it is not, specifically, a respiratory virus. It is an endothelial virus that does cause respiratory signs due to the damage caused to the respiratory endothelial cells; however, it does attack endothelial cells that are NOT respiratory in nature, which causes extensive pathology.
If you have not yet read the Spartacus Declaration, I would encourage you to do so. The original ZeroHedge post has been archived, but there is a copy here:
This distinction -- respiratory vs. endothelial virus -- is crucial. The Borg (allopathic medical establishment) perpetuates the myth that it is respiratory. There are numerous reasons for this; foremost, I believe, because it underscores the notion of the danger of exhalations. ("Respiratory virus" = "Fear the cough and sneeze of the dirty people around you." Remember the DOCTOR that El Gato posted about who claimed that he had started to see patients' breath as "green toxic clouds?")
The other, extremely crucial reason that the Borg overplays the respiratory component of COVID is that it wishes to downplay or outright deny the damage to the circulatory system that the virus causes. This, I suspect, is because too many people knew that this damage was caused by spike proteins created by the virus and would, therefore, also occur with the mRNA injection which also drives spike protein production. In order to promulgate the notion of the injection as a "safe and effective" measure against the DANGEROUS virus, it painted the virus as strictly respiratory, thus denying the etiology of the damage caused by the virus because the injections would in theory, if effective, cause that same damage.
Theory has now become fact: the shots have caused a myriad of adverse events up to and including sudden death, the vast majority of which can be attributed to spike protein damage to the vascular endothelium. It is, therefore, more important for the Borg than ever before to paint the virus -- and its negative effects -- as respiratory.
I hope that the above makes sense. If not, I am happy to clarify.
I confess to being leery. "Spartacus" is an anonymous group, and one that the Borg would *love* to discredit ... So I'll have to poke around that particular substack before committing, so to speak. But thank you!
Most of my favourite substacks are anonymous including the Cat!
I must admit, I read spartacus with some incredulity but it's more because the information presented is so highly technical that I have a hard time knowing whether it is correct or not. Spartacus always gives references and I always check out references. So far, they look good to me. I'm not a biochemist or a microbiologist. A scientist or doctor will read a medical or scientific article and be able to pick out all kinds of flaws that I wouldn't see.
I'll keep your comment. If I can get more verification or assurance about spartacus, I'll let you know. Might take a while.
Spartacus has had a few video presentations where some of the people are identified so they're not all anonymous. Poke around, as you say.
Thank you! I will poke :) My background is such that I can read the technical stuff and comprehend it (dare I say, ugh, I actually enjoy it? ... Nerd admission). If it is presented, I can sift it.
The bigger problem I will have is the presentation format. I love to read, but I have a hard time with videos/podcasts as they do not tend to keep my attention very well. I "zone out," as it were. But, I'm going to try as I think that the information is worth having. If there *are* plenty of written references, then all the better!
I'd love your opinion on the first spartacus letter. Like I said, I've read it and looked up the references but I'm not an expert. Getting confirmation from someone who knows would be great. I will continue to look for experts at home too. I like consensus.
This is such a wonderful, intriguing, informative comment! Thank you!
May I ask a question? When you say damage caused by "spike proteins 'created' by the virus," is that how the pathogen works? It creates the spike protein? I thought the spike was a part of it -- that the "virus" came with it vs. made it. Or is that saying the same thing?
A+ for you -- you picked out the very sentence that I *almost* reworded, because it is indeed technically quite inaccurate! ;) I DRAMATICALLY oversimplified for brevity, but it's a pretty gross one, so thank you for pointing that out. I will restate it.
First, my correction: the virus DOES NOT actually "create" the spike protein. Your very own cells do that. Regardless of whether the spike protein is being made by your cells in response to instructions from the virus, or instructions from the vaxx, it is your own cells that make those spikes.
You are correct -- the spike protein is a part of the virus itself. It is on the outside of the viral envelope; inside of that envelope is contained the genetic instructions (in this case, RNA, although there are many viruses that use DNA) that encode for production of more viruses. You've seen the picture of the round coronavirus with the little spikes sticking off of it -- the round part is the viral capsule; the sticky-out bits are the spike proteins.
The spike protein is basically a docking mechanism by which the virion (individual virus) attaches to the outside of the host cell. It does this by binding to Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE2), which is a protein crucial for maintaining proper blood pressure, among other things. This causes a series of steps to occur that ultimately result in the virus capsule, with its RNA instructions to make more viruses, to enter the human host cell. The viral RNA is then used by the host's own ribosomes (protein factories) to make more viruses.
The spike proteins cause disease in a number of ways. They're pretty much little tiny floating monkey wrenches in your bloodstream. This is the case whether or not they were produced by your cells in response to instructions from the virus itself, or from the vaxx.
So, indeed, your question raises an exceedingly crucial point: NO, the virus does not "create" the spike proteins by itself -- I was oversimplifying, to our detriment. YOUR CELLS make the spike proteins, and they make those proteins whether or not the virus, or the vaxx, tells them to do so.
Thank you again for your question :) Does this help? I am happy to clarify further.
A P.S. to my comment below. Would it be fair to say that we've been attacked by Bioweapon No. 1 -- engineered SARS-CoV2 "virus" and Bioweapon No. 2 -- the "COV!D" "vaccine?"
I think that is an extremely fair assessment, yes ... Makes you wonder.
Did "they" intend for Bioweapon No. 1 to be more virulent than it actually was? Was the "vaxx" actually "Depop. Plan B?" ... Or was this ALL part of the same plan? (I suspect the latter ... And shudder to think of what's coming. Literal zombies, anyone?)
It does help! Thank you!. I will copy and paste this explanation to refer back to. With my little "noodle", I need to go slow on certain topics, step-by-step to make sure I understand, ask questions, etc. :)
Going slow is the only way to really learn :) Sounds like you already know a heck of a lot. All of the "education" and degrees on the planet won't help you if you do not know how to think critically and ask questions. (Ask me how I know ... / facepalm)
The perverse popularity among certain people of acting like a bunch of agoraphobic hypochondriacs, parading around their personal risk from covid even when they fall under a demographic that has a miniscule chance of getting seriously ill, let alone dying, from the virus, is something I consider to be both a fascinating psychological phenomenon and a categorical indictment of our culture.
There is a clear correlation between the rise of this phenomenon and the rise of women's influence politically, medically, administratively and socially in our culture.
The feminization of societal leadership has had a lot of negative impacts. It’s impolite to state this and taboo but it’s 100% had major negative societal impacts. There’s a reason traditional gender roles existed for millennia
Right. A clear correlation with the rise of such women as Klaus Schwab, Bill Gates and Anthony Fauci who masterminded the genocide, Albert Bourla and Stephan Bancel who provided the materials for the genocide, and Joe Biden, Justin Trudeau Gavin Newsom, et al, who carry it out. Right, women such as them.
You would have been quite the cult leader during the Salem witch trials.
The problem is that he's right (please keep reading; don't react). This kind of craziness has come about as women have gained more power in the social and political realms. *However* I don't blame it on women, meaning there is no causation, though there might be some kind of correlation. I think his intimation is that the feminine is emotional and petty, which I don't appreciate, as men can be petty and emotional as well, particularly when their own egos are called into question. And they have never been taught to look beyond their own immediate needs; in other words, they have not had caregiving and responsibility for others drilled into them day and day out. And most of the women we have in "leadership" right now act very little different than men. They're warmongers, to begin with.
But there is something there. I'd be just as apt to think it is fragile men who either are reacting badly to the rise of women as an extension of the rise of the masses and those who have to live by rules they had no hand in making. In other words, they're reacting to the rise of a class of people they want to remain subservient, which includes women.
I can agree with this part of what you said: Hillary, Jacinda, et al prove women can be evil warmongers also. Meanness and pettiness without mercy has been exemplified by *some* men at least as much as by *some* women. Not a majority of either sex fortunately. Further generalization is false and only serves to polarize.
Even the 'younger' (mid 20s) people that I know all found reasons that they were 'high risk'. (Surprise, they've now all had covid and are still around)
The infernal triumvirate of the parasitic State, predatory pharma and propagandist press has simply broken a significant proportion of the population, reducing them to a quivering mass of terrified hypochondriac gelatin.
Here in the People's Republic of Silicon Valley, the masked morons are everywhere, even, still, alone in their cars and face-diapering their toddlers and grade school children while they walk them to school.
People I know and work with are still proudly advertising their upcoming "booster" appointments despite every single one of them having contracted the coof, some 2-3x, after 2 or more jabs and some having rather unpleasant side effects.
I am by nature a live-and-let-live sort, and normally would just laugh at the ocean of leftist psychosis I swim in, except that I know that these people are the ones that cheered mask and jab mandates, the closing of businesses and schools and many of them would not hesitate to throw my unjabbed ass into a concentration camp, or worse, for not buying into the mass delusion that addles what passes for their minds.
What would be just an amusing annoyance were it just a few outliers become truly horrifying when the nutjobs are a significant plurality of the population.
I truly fear that what has been done to these benighted masses cannot be undone and this mass ignorant insanity is now a permanent part of the political firmament.
i would doubt that the current mask rate in UT is even 1%.
they really pop out as weirdos now. it was the same flying back and forth to chicago last week.
so much bizarre performance art. woman on my plane walked onto airplane unmasked, put in mask in seat, wore it whole flight, took off to deplane. i'm honestly baffled by the mental model that would drive that.
most amazing were the people in terminals wearing "chin masks."
there is just a stunning reluctance to or fear of letting go.
I was in Edinburgh a couple weeks ago, hardly a mask in sight. A bit surprising, especially given how adamant the Scots were recently.
Almost without exception, every local I spoke with had little more than contempt for the absurdities they were subjected to, and the lowest regard of government I've seen, which was beyond refreshing.
Flying back to SFO from Dublin, however, with a cabin full of Yanks, probably 30% were masked up all the way across the pond, even sleeping in the pod. Apparently no one told them that aircraft are perhaps the safest enclosed spaces possible.
I’m a hairdresser in the U.K. and have only one client left who wears a mask into the salon, but he takes it off when he sits down in the chair right under my face 🤨 where’s the logic!? He’s 17 and “identifies as they”, has had all the shots and now the physical health seems to be declining as well as the clear psychosis.
To be the Devil's advocate, perhaps the chin mask people in the airports are uncertain of the requirements or simply have them on so they won't be hassled.
This. I, too, believe it cannot be undone. I still see UNmasked parents leading their masked toddlers around where I live. These are children who have never known life without having their faces covered and their parents believe they are protecting their kids somehow? These parents are not outliers either. I see it everywhere. The majority of people where I live are still masking even outside, even with double/triple masks. I still have people who, when I get too close while standing in line etc..., back up in fear as if I suddenly morphed into the Swamp Thing. Just had a lady literally run away from me in the grocery store when I rounded the corner and almost bumped into her.
We are surrounded by people who literally belong in padded cells.
Here in NYC, on many occasions it's still common for 50% of the people on the subway at any given time to be wearing masks. It does vary, and sometimes it's more and often less, but there are always a non-trivial number. Fewer outside walking in the street and in the park, but still far, far too many. Many people still put them on when they go into a store or into any building, even though it is not required, and some give us sane, maskless people glares for actually daring to breathe. My building voted to keep everyone masked when anywhere outside their apartment, and the few (very few) of us who refuse are subjected to shaming, or I should say, attempts at shaming, since I at least think they are the ones who should be hanging their heads in shame for being such ignorant, stupid narcissists, ready to impose such unscientific nonsense on their neighbors.
I've almost reached the point where I figure maybe all those covidiots who are getting every multiplying jabs and messing with their health wearing masks are doing the rest of us a favor by ultimately removing themselves from the world and gene pool. Almost. Not quite yet, but they are pushing me hard.
I have relatives and friends among the covidiots. They are good people.
But... they remind me of a person involved in a bad, abusive relationship. You keep telling your friend/relative over and over again to ditch the bad relationship, yet they won't. And you can't figure out why, since your friend is smart and should know better.
Walking on the Upper West Side just now, I passed someone in one of those plastic face shields. I mean, I had actually forgotten about those, but it’s this woman’s way of life, evidently forever.
Yeah, that was the whole problem--THEY were rarely "live and let live" about it at all. They shamed, denigrated, feared, snitched on, and shunned non-compliers, and in general sported massive self-righteous-outrage-induced-and-social-media-virtue-signal-stroked hardons for authoritarianism over those who would not jab/mask/test/be afraid. None of them were ever "it's cool, you do you" to my choices.
I work in Silicon Valley, at a farmer's market of all places, and the amount of masking has INCREASED in the last month. Yeah, outdoors.
Used to work at a university (guess why I quit), and I was shocked at how all these profs who pride themselves on their critical thinking and research skills suddenly defaulted to not questioning the pablum and platitudes from CNN and NYT.
I feel heavily disillusioned by the whole thing, and agree--this has revealed some facet of peoples' psyches that I'm not sure is a thing that can be undone.
Though in a weird way, I feel somewhat strengthened. Because integrity, I guess.
I get extremely annoyed by my boss warning everyone about covid and taking precautions. It seems like it became illegal to be sick. 3 years ago if anyone declared to be sick it was brushed off as a few days illness of flu. Now it's a drama.
Yes, and the reality is that government, media, and public health propaganda completely created this problem. One, they exaggerated the risks of covid to the point that people literally believe they're at risk of death if they get it. Two, they convinced us that we could stop getting a respiratory illness, or giving it to anyone, if we followed all the NPIs they ordered us to. That gave a moral slant to it, such that "getting covid" is seen as a moral and personal failure, rather than an inevitable result of living in a world with viruses.
He's lying. They are all lying. When you see prominent people who are vax pushers getting Covid and they are "so thankful I took the vaccine or my symptoms could have been much worse", all they are doing is gaslighting people into taking the next booster. Notice the Covid outbreaks amongst the elites happen right when a new booster rolls out and they parrot the exact same talking points.
The entirety of his tweet was designed to convey the following message: shots keep you from having serious illness, covid is still a threat, get your boosters.
The doctor at urgent care told my friend her son probably had covid even though his tests kept coming back negative, too. You can't blame the people for thinking just like the experts, can you? 😜
There is no way we can have any confidence in doctors anymore. They believe masks work, the shots are safe and effective, and now that people have an illness they've tested negative for? I'm just waiting for when they go back to bleeding patients and muttering about humours.
A lot know masks don’t work and that the shots are nowhere near as effective as claimed (if at all) but also know they’ll be subjected to discipline if they say anything.
Trying to convince my 1946-issue vaxxed Boomer mom to let me send her some 12mg Ivermectin "just in case" she needs it over the winter. She truly has no idea, no clue of any of this, completely lost, grateful for these shots that will likely claim her.
So frustrating. I too have jabbed loved ones all around who have caught "the bug." I did offer ivermectin and got totally ignored. One of them had a serious hard time and is just starting to recover after a 3-week stint, landing in the ER and waiting for 8 hours for nothing. Three days in a row, he tried to get answers to what was ailing him. Blood work showed nothing out of the ordinary. All of that in brain fog and confusion... But, apparently, bouncing off in the broken Canadian medical system is still more desirable than taking an off-label safe alternative offered to you by someone you should ultimately have a modicum of trust in.
I know a few people like your Mom...they know nothing about IVM and will keep getting the shots or take the ‘COVID pill Paxlovid’ if they do get sick, which will be ‘prescribed by their doctor’...sadly I fear though that ‘something will ‘do them in’ related to these EUA Shots and limited tested drugs like Paxlovid!
The cult-like Covid obsession with these people is unflappable. At this point, I believe they will forever live in a state of mass psychosis that cannot be undone. I know people like this and you can no longer reason with them no matter what you say or what you show them, facts and all. I still have family members who are willing to never see their children again because of Covid fear (and their fear of the unvaxxed). I also believe they actually enjoy some aspect of their Covid fear and allegiance to mandates despite the obvious insanity of it all. It makes them who they are and these are people who have spent their entire lives in search of a true identity. Now they have one.
That being said, on another note, I have noticed that people are nonstop coughing all over the place. Just sick people everywhere. Can't go out anywhere without getting hacked on. I live in a very highly vaccinated area btw.
there's really no hope, is there? domestic turkeys often panic over stupid stuff and huddle together in the corner of their pen, where they sometimes trample each other to death and drown in shallow puddles. these people remind me of that. and, like the turkeys, there's something far more sinister to fear, but they don't see it.
For heaven's sake, people, it's been almost three years! Let it go!
You almost have to admire their dedication to being terrified all the time. How do they do it? Where do they find the time?
Their fear is what makes them who they are. I have a neighbor like this. Absolutely terrified of Covid and has gotten at least 4 Covid vaccines. Doesn't matter. Still will not sit in a restaurant and hides at home. I honestly believe Covid has become an actual identity for many. They cling to it and need it for some reason.
Well, sure! I recognized quite early on that for many of my "terrified" friends and relatives, this was a Godsent cosplay opportunity. They were able to trade in their meaningless, empty lives and live in the midst of a world-ending plague, struggling as best they could (Zooming into work and ordering their groceries online) to stay alive, aware that at any minute the magical monstrous virus might render them and all their loved ones (at least the ones they haven't disowned for being anit-vaxx conspiracy theorists) deathly ill and possibly dead.

Little did they understand they were risking everything important: all our freedom, an uncorrupted government and society, their very souls. People who are insisting on forcing masks onto all of us and continuing to act terrified of the "covid" are clinging to their starring role in this grotesque movie they never want to end. Unfortunately, the rest of us are constantly being sucked into their fantasy world, which is very dystopian indeed.
"Little did they understand they were risking everything important: all our freedom, an uncorrupted government and society, their very souls."
-------
Oh, they knew it. They even mocked the entire idea of freedom. Remember "Muh free-dumb"?
Cosplay: you have it in one word.
Very eloquently put.
I actually hypothesize that the sad cohort that you speak of was an unintended consequence of the mass experiment (Part I), but I do not doubt that their rabid adherence to the lie is, for the Borg entities that engineered this, a very pleasant unexpected side effect indeed.
I hide at home too, but it's not due to any fear of Covid which I never had from the beginning, it's because I simply can't tolerate the slightest vestiges of the idiotic infection control measures that pervaded everyday life. For instance, the QR codes for menus and the insistence on payment by debit card and the far too many people still wearing masks.
And lots of businesses don't want people to pay cash, which I do as much as I can. Cash is still legal tender, folks.
Same, without cash, we're toast. The end of liberty,
You nailed it… it’s their identity and the only thing that gives them purpose.
Yes, I have another comment in this thread that dovetails on this concept. Covid IS their identity and these are people who before Covid lacked a sense of purpose and identity. When Covid came along they latched right onto it.
C0VID: a cure for the meaninglessness that some find in modern life.
Ex-ACTLY!
Covid is who they are. It gave their meaningless lives meaning. It cast them sometimes as the Hero (when they do their pointless rituals) and as the victim (when they get it despite all those pointless rituals), as a savior, as an advisor. Also it got them to shift blame for their inadequacies on to someone/something else. They're not giving that up.
It is a religion. Nothing else.
In theory at least, religion encourages people to live better lives.
All the C0VID hysteria has done has encouraged Karen to yell at strangers, inoculate her children with a death jab and alienate her family and friends.
Religion or cult. You decide.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me into taking five ineffective and dangerous experimental shots for a mostly harmless virus, that's pharmaceutical-grade stupid.
Fear is critical to dependence, too.
I've long been aware of mental disarmament: convincing people that they have no choice but to be victims. It is more effective at controlling people than physical disarmament and the two together are 100% effective.
Had to deal with this when teaching self defense to women in the 1970s (voluntarily). They'd been damaged by conditioning to assume that they could not defend themselves. Teaching skills and technique was easy compared to convincing them that "yes you can!" (to paraphrase a former campaign cheer).
It makes them feel special
Mass formation psychosis. Once they drink the kool-aid, it consumes their every waking moment. They CAN'T let it go because it has become the essence of their existence. Anything that conflicts with their new-found purpose is ignored as if it never happened.
My second cousin, who has had at least 3 injections of Moderna, said she rarely eats out anymore because "you never know who around you has corona."
At some point, one has to recognize that sort of fear as paranoia. "The virus," they whisper, "it's watching me . . . I can feel it."
My condolences about your father. How awful for you and him.
It's very hard to speak with such people.
So sorry. I'm having trouble getting my head around why, if father is obviously dying, would you be a danger?
Any chance you could get them to watch "Safe and Effective: A Second Opinion"? On Oracle Films:
https://www.oraclefilms.com/safeandeffective
Sorry about your dad. :(
My dad died in 1998 at only 70. I can still hear his voice and laugh - God is good like that. :)
I’ve got zero patience for it and I was a special ed teacher. I had the patience of JOB!
Now I just want to scream at them to GET BACK UNDER their BEDS.
Here’s a question. What are
they going to do when something REALLY scary happens?
They should be terrified... the hospitals are overwhelmed with VAIDS patients. And the vax injured.
This is very different than 2020 - when they lied about overwhelmed hospitals -- and outright murdered people to drive up the death tally.
But they ain't seen nuthin yet --- wait till the seriously deadly mutation arrives
It gives people meaning in life. They dedicate themselves to surviving a danger.
Unfortunately I wish that covid was over and it would be if we had abided by the Great Barrington d clarion because we would have reached population immunity. However since someone has chosen to massively lie to the world, leaky non sterilizing RNA injections have been almost intravenously fed to the masses. Try listening to Gerry Van Den Bosch. Theze injections are allowing thousands of variants to thrive abd get more virulent while causing the immune system to stop responding. Soon a variant will come along that will depopulate the vaxxed...society will grind to a halt, and the only hope will be the mass use of anti Virals and the prayer that the unvaxxed can generate enough herd immunity to act as a defense for the vaxed.
Excellent questions 🙌🏼😂😂
Correction. Liberal propaganda.
Deliberaplorable?
Ah. You weren't using Killary's definition of deplorable.
Covid is a respiratory virus. I note that in the presence of Covid the flu appears to have gone on vacation. Does anyone know where it went? Asking for a friend....
I have read that left untreated and for certain individuals, "COV!D" can become a circulatory illness. If that spike protein on the "virus" gets into the circulatory system, it can wreak havoc.
That's why early, early treatment of the standard symptoms is critical. Disguising denial of treatment as the national "protocol," which advised staying home until you're so sick you can barely breathe is criminal in and of itself. (It happens with respiratory infections. Happened to my mother more than three decades ago. She ended up dying; it was simply too late.)
I read the same thing about covid: circulatory illness but didn't understand it very well. It's probably true, the person explaining was an expert I believe.
Here's a paragraph from a letter written to the FDA by UCLA physician, Patrick Whelen, written back in Dec 2020 on UCLA letterhead. Dr. Whelan expresses a variety of concerns, but I think this paragraph summarizes those well:
"While there are pieces to this puzzle that have yet to be worked out, it appears that the viral spike protein that is the target of the major SARS-CoV-2 vaccines is also one of the key agents causing the damage to distant organs that may include the brain, heart, lung, and kidney. Before any of these vaccines are approved for widespread use in humans, it is important to assess in vaccinated subjects the effects of vaccination on the heart (perhaps using cardiac MRI, as Puntmann et al. did). Vaccinated patients could also be tested for distant tissue damage in deltoid area skin biopsies, as employed by Magro et al. As important as it is to quickly arrest the spread of the virus by immunizing the population, it would be vastly worse if hundreds of millions of people were to suffer long-lasting or even permanent damage to their brain or heart microvasculature as a result of failing to appreciate in the short-term an unintended effect of full-length spike protein-based vaccines on these other organs."
Prior to this paragraph, he spoke about the damage to distant organs by the viral spike protein...In this paragraph, he expressing how the mRNA "full-length" spike protein is worse!
https://www.talkingaboutthescience.com/whelan2020/
“It appears that the viral spike protein that is the target of the major SARS-CoV-2 vaccines is also one of the key agents causing the damage to distant organs that may include the brain, heart, lung, and kidney.”
It is worse. S1 part has worse cholinergic blocking effects.
Cardiovascular illness of the lungs in that respiration isn't the problem, the hemoglobin/red blood cells aren't picking up oxygen well. And there is excess free iron. Vitamin C and iron chelators and ARB blood pressure meds would help more than a vent. The people can physically breathe and turn blue.
The letter is via https://www.regulations.gov/document/FDA-2020-N-1898-0246. Few seem aware of his warning that now seems quite astute. Obvious that his cautionary message was ignored. Must pass this on to Kirsch in his ongoing war with our government.
Thank you very much for this. I found Whelan's letter on the UCLA letterhead in PDF from the article I linked, but this link here is terrific.
It has astonished me from the very beginning of this "vaccine" madness that the injection's payload has instructions to make the thing that 'everybody says" is the thing that makes SARS-CoV2 a "killer" -- the spike protein! I do not need an M.D. or a PhD to know that that sounds like complete madness, stupidity -- or worse.
Thanks again!
I pushed the link a bit on Twitter but still minimal attention. He was so aware of what we are now seeing happen from these injections.
Wow - yes, share widely. I will post it. Thanks for the heads-up.
ask @IamJohnCullen on Youtube or Twitter
nutshell, Fauci lied, it isn't gone. We had a more severe flu actually and the numbers were smushed into CoV Plandemic and the implication is that Fauci is trying to direct attention towards China and away from US research on the 1918 Flu virus.
Addition - this affected patient care as flu would have some other treatments to use in addition to treating a comorbid CoV infection. Coroner reports listed flu and CoV on death certificates. That is what John Cullen used.
there are about 300 flu viruses, but you only see 1 or sometimes 2 in a season, this is because one will dominate the rest have nowhere to go. same with covid
Here's the explanation I read (maybe right, maybe wrong): viruses compete for our receptors, Sar-Cov2 out competed other viruses.
I think it's that along with a helping hand of BS.
Didn’t the US recently change the category to lump flu, covid and pneumonia together under one blurry acronym?
You must mean flumonivid.
PIC. Pneumonia Influenza COVID. PI has been around then they added the C to it. Yes - very blurry. As expected.
Yes. Yet they didn't change the goalposts for 'pandemic' -- which IIRC was something like 4.2% of people having Flu/Pneumonia before the 'official' designation. When you simply added covid to those numbers, you were ALWAYS going to be 'officially' over the limit because you only needed like .8% of the people to have covid to bump up the flu/pneumonia numbers.
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/covid-data/covidview/04172020/percent-ili-visits.html
IIRC, the definition of pandemic was changed in 2018/2019.
This wouldn't have qualified otherwise.
Same deal with "vaccine" and herd immunity.
Oh. And the always popular "safe and effective".
This is all true (and important!), though my specific point here was that the ILI baseline was already SUPER SUPER close to 'emergency' status, and that simply throwing covid into the bucket was a sure-fire way to ensure an 'emergency'.
Edit: The article I discuss the definition changes: https://simulationcommander.substack.com/p/newspeak-is-upon-us
Yes, if I remember correctly that was in the fall of 2020.
It, too, was a marketing scheme-
Behold, the in𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦 shrinking numbers...
"The CDC's decision to play up flu deaths dates back a decade, when it realized the public wasn't following its advice on the flu vaccine. During the 2003 flu season "𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐮𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧'𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐥𝐨𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐯𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐞,"... Flu results in "about 250,000 to 500,000 yearly deaths" worldwide, Wikipedia tells us. "The typical estimate is 36,000 [deaths] a year in the United States," reports NBC, citing the Centers for Disease Control. ... According to the National Vital Statistics System in the U.S., for example, annual flu deaths in 2010 amounted to just 500 per year -- fewer than deaths from ulcers (2,977), hernias (1,832) and pregnancy and childbirth (825), and a far cry from the big killers such as heart disease (597,689) and cancers (574,743).... Even that 500 figure for the U.S. could be too high, according to analyses in authoritative journals such as the American Journal of Public Health and the British Medical Journal. Only about 15-20 per cent of people who come down with flu-like symptoms have the influenza virus -- the other 80-85 per cent actually caught rhinovirus or other germs that are indistinguishable from the true flu without laboratory tests, which are rarely done. In 2001, a year in which death certificates listed 257 Americans as having died of flu, only 18 were positively identified as true flus"

Vincent, a gentle correction -- it is not, specifically, a respiratory virus. It is an endothelial virus that does cause respiratory signs due to the damage caused to the respiratory endothelial cells; however, it does attack endothelial cells that are NOT respiratory in nature, which causes extensive pathology.
If you have not yet read the Spartacus Declaration, I would encourage you to do so. The original ZeroHedge post has been archived, but there is a copy here:
https://www.theautomaticearth.com/tag/zero-hedge/
This distinction -- respiratory vs. endothelial virus -- is crucial. The Borg (allopathic medical establishment) perpetuates the myth that it is respiratory. There are numerous reasons for this; foremost, I believe, because it underscores the notion of the danger of exhalations. ("Respiratory virus" = "Fear the cough and sneeze of the dirty people around you." Remember the DOCTOR that El Gato posted about who claimed that he had started to see patients' breath as "green toxic clouds?")
The other, extremely crucial reason that the Borg overplays the respiratory component of COVID is that it wishes to downplay or outright deny the damage to the circulatory system that the virus causes. This, I suspect, is because too many people knew that this damage was caused by spike proteins created by the virus and would, therefore, also occur with the mRNA injection which also drives spike protein production. In order to promulgate the notion of the injection as a "safe and effective" measure against the DANGEROUS virus, it painted the virus as strictly respiratory, thus denying the etiology of the damage caused by the virus because the injections would in theory, if effective, cause that same damage.
Theory has now become fact: the shots have caused a myriad of adverse events up to and including sudden death, the vast majority of which can be attributed to spike protein damage to the vascular endothelium. It is, therefore, more important for the Borg than ever before to paint the virus -- and its negative effects -- as respiratory.
I hope that the above makes sense. If not, I am happy to clarify.
Spartacus also writes on substack and the original letter is there too:
https://iceni.substack.com/
Thank you. I'll dig into it.
I confess to being leery. "Spartacus" is an anonymous group, and one that the Borg would *love* to discredit ... So I'll have to poke around that particular substack before committing, so to speak. But thank you!
Most of my favourite substacks are anonymous including the Cat!
I must admit, I read spartacus with some incredulity but it's more because the information presented is so highly technical that I have a hard time knowing whether it is correct or not. Spartacus always gives references and I always check out references. So far, they look good to me. I'm not a biochemist or a microbiologist. A scientist or doctor will read a medical or scientific article and be able to pick out all kinds of flaws that I wouldn't see.
I'll keep your comment. If I can get more verification or assurance about spartacus, I'll let you know. Might take a while.
Spartacus has had a few video presentations where some of the people are identified so they're not all anonymous. Poke around, as you say.
Thank you! I will poke :) My background is such that I can read the technical stuff and comprehend it (dare I say, ugh, I actually enjoy it? ... Nerd admission). If it is presented, I can sift it.
The bigger problem I will have is the presentation format. I love to read, but I have a hard time with videos/podcasts as they do not tend to keep my attention very well. I "zone out," as it were. But, I'm going to try as I think that the information is worth having. If there *are* plenty of written references, then all the better!
I'd love your opinion on the first spartacus letter. Like I said, I've read it and looked up the references but I'm not an expert. Getting confirmation from someone who knows would be great. I will continue to look for experts at home too. I like consensus.
This is such a wonderful, intriguing, informative comment! Thank you!
May I ask a question? When you say damage caused by "spike proteins 'created' by the virus," is that how the pathogen works? It creates the spike protein? I thought the spike was a part of it -- that the "virus" came with it vs. made it. Or is that saying the same thing?
A+ for you -- you picked out the very sentence that I *almost* reworded, because it is indeed technically quite inaccurate! ;) I DRAMATICALLY oversimplified for brevity, but it's a pretty gross one, so thank you for pointing that out. I will restate it.
First, my correction: the virus DOES NOT actually "create" the spike protein. Your very own cells do that. Regardless of whether the spike protein is being made by your cells in response to instructions from the virus, or instructions from the vaxx, it is your own cells that make those spikes.
You are correct -- the spike protein is a part of the virus itself. It is on the outside of the viral envelope; inside of that envelope is contained the genetic instructions (in this case, RNA, although there are many viruses that use DNA) that encode for production of more viruses. You've seen the picture of the round coronavirus with the little spikes sticking off of it -- the round part is the viral capsule; the sticky-out bits are the spike proteins.
The spike protein is basically a docking mechanism by which the virion (individual virus) attaches to the outside of the host cell. It does this by binding to Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE2), which is a protein crucial for maintaining proper blood pressure, among other things. This causes a series of steps to occur that ultimately result in the virus capsule, with its RNA instructions to make more viruses, to enter the human host cell. The viral RNA is then used by the host's own ribosomes (protein factories) to make more viruses.
The spike proteins cause disease in a number of ways. They're pretty much little tiny floating monkey wrenches in your bloodstream. This is the case whether or not they were produced by your cells in response to instructions from the virus itself, or from the vaxx.
So, indeed, your question raises an exceedingly crucial point: NO, the virus does not "create" the spike proteins by itself -- I was oversimplifying, to our detriment. YOUR CELLS make the spike proteins, and they make those proteins whether or not the virus, or the vaxx, tells them to do so.
Thank you again for your question :) Does this help? I am happy to clarify further.
A P.S. to my comment below. Would it be fair to say that we've been attacked by Bioweapon No. 1 -- engineered SARS-CoV2 "virus" and Bioweapon No. 2 -- the "COV!D" "vaccine?"
I think that is an extremely fair assessment, yes ... Makes you wonder.
Did "they" intend for Bioweapon No. 1 to be more virulent than it actually was? Was the "vaxx" actually "Depop. Plan B?" ... Or was this ALL part of the same plan? (I suspect the latter ... And shudder to think of what's coming. Literal zombies, anyone?)
It does help! Thank you!. I will copy and paste this explanation to refer back to. With my little "noodle", I need to go slow on certain topics, step-by-step to make sure I understand, ask questions, etc. :)
Thanks for taking the time!
Going slow is the only way to really learn :) Sounds like you already know a heck of a lot. All of the "education" and degrees on the planet won't help you if you do not know how to think critically and ask questions. (Ask me how I know ... / facepalm)
😂😂😂😂
Right?
And thank you for the kind words. ❤️

NATIONAL IMMUNOMYTHOLOGY UPDATE: GIGAOHM BIOLOGICAL BRIEFING (COUEY / OCT 10 2022)
https://www.bitchute.com/video/w67tcwuAxdGB/
Fantastic stream! Thanks for posting!
The perverse popularity among certain people of acting like a bunch of agoraphobic hypochondriacs, parading around their personal risk from covid even when they fall under a demographic that has a miniscule chance of getting seriously ill, let alone dying, from the virus, is something I consider to be both a fascinating psychological phenomenon and a categorical indictment of our culture.
It goes right along with victimhood as a mark of superiority. We've flipped everything on its head.
Exactly!
https://euphoricrecall.substack.com/p/gaming-the-victim-hierarchy
There is a clear correlation between the rise of this phenomenon and the rise of women's influence politically, medically, administratively and socially in our culture.
The feminization of societal leadership has had a lot of negative impacts. It’s impolite to state this and taboo but it’s 100% had major negative societal impacts. There’s a reason traditional gender roles existed for millennia
So what do you mean the "feminization of social leadership"?
Right. A clear correlation with the rise of such women as Klaus Schwab, Bill Gates and Anthony Fauci who masterminded the genocide, Albert Bourla and Stephan Bancel who provided the materials for the genocide, and Joe Biden, Justin Trudeau Gavin Newsom, et al, who carry it out. Right, women such as them.
You would have been quite the cult leader during the Salem witch trials.
The problem is that he's right (please keep reading; don't react). This kind of craziness has come about as women have gained more power in the social and political realms. *However* I don't blame it on women, meaning there is no causation, though there might be some kind of correlation. I think his intimation is that the feminine is emotional and petty, which I don't appreciate, as men can be petty and emotional as well, particularly when their own egos are called into question. And they have never been taught to look beyond their own immediate needs; in other words, they have not had caregiving and responsibility for others drilled into them day and day out. And most of the women we have in "leadership" right now act very little different than men. They're warmongers, to begin with.
But there is something there. I'd be just as apt to think it is fragile men who either are reacting badly to the rise of women as an extension of the rise of the masses and those who have to live by rules they had no hand in making. In other words, they're reacting to the rise of a class of people they want to remain subservient, which includes women.
I can agree with this part of what you said: Hillary, Jacinda, et al prove women can be evil warmongers also. Meanness and pettiness without mercy has been exemplified by *some* men at least as much as by *some* women. Not a majority of either sex fortunately. Further generalization is false and only serves to polarize.
I'm glad you said "correlation" and not "causation." Now the question is why.
Even the 'younger' (mid 20s) people that I know all found reasons that they were 'high risk'. (Surprise, they've now all had covid and are still around)
The infernal triumvirate of the parasitic State, predatory pharma and propagandist press has simply broken a significant proportion of the population, reducing them to a quivering mass of terrified hypochondriac gelatin.
Here in the People's Republic of Silicon Valley, the masked morons are everywhere, even, still, alone in their cars and face-diapering their toddlers and grade school children while they walk them to school.
People I know and work with are still proudly advertising their upcoming "booster" appointments despite every single one of them having contracted the coof, some 2-3x, after 2 or more jabs and some having rather unpleasant side effects.
I am by nature a live-and-let-live sort, and normally would just laugh at the ocean of leftist psychosis I swim in, except that I know that these people are the ones that cheered mask and jab mandates, the closing of businesses and schools and many of them would not hesitate to throw my unjabbed ass into a concentration camp, or worse, for not buying into the mass delusion that addles what passes for their minds.
What would be just an amusing annoyance were it just a few outliers become truly horrifying when the nutjobs are a significant plurality of the population.
I truly fear that what has been done to these benighted masses cannot be undone and this mass ignorant insanity is now a permanent part of the political firmament.
i would doubt that the current mask rate in UT is even 1%.
they really pop out as weirdos now. it was the same flying back and forth to chicago last week.
so much bizarre performance art. woman on my plane walked onto airplane unmasked, put in mask in seat, wore it whole flight, took off to deplane. i'm honestly baffled by the mental model that would drive that.
most amazing were the people in terminals wearing "chin masks."
there is just a stunning reluctance to or fear of letting go.
I was in Edinburgh a couple weeks ago, hardly a mask in sight. A bit surprising, especially given how adamant the Scots were recently.
Almost without exception, every local I spoke with had little more than contempt for the absurdities they were subjected to, and the lowest regard of government I've seen, which was beyond refreshing.
Flying back to SFO from Dublin, however, with a cabin full of Yanks, probably 30% were masked up all the way across the pond, even sleeping in the pod. Apparently no one told them that aircraft are perhaps the safest enclosed spaces possible.
Just flabbergasting.
I’m a hairdresser in the U.K. and have only one client left who wears a mask into the salon, but he takes it off when he sits down in the chair right under my face 🤨 where’s the logic!? He’s 17 and “identifies as they”, has had all the shots and now the physical health seems to be declining as well as the clear psychosis.
Last year we had dinner with one of my husband's co-workers and his wife.
While at the table, no masks.
At the end of dinner in a very empty restaurant, they got up, put their masks on, got into their car and kept their masks on. In the car.
My husband mercilessly mocks those in the car with their masks.
I wonder if they sleep with them on.
To be the Devil's advocate, perhaps the chin mask people in the airports are uncertain of the requirements or simply have them on so they won't be hassled.
Or they're crazy. IDK.
I vote for crazy.
This. I, too, believe it cannot be undone. I still see UNmasked parents leading their masked toddlers around where I live. These are children who have never known life without having their faces covered and their parents believe they are protecting their kids somehow? These parents are not outliers either. I see it everywhere. The majority of people where I live are still masking even outside, even with double/triple masks. I still have people who, when I get too close while standing in line etc..., back up in fear as if I suddenly morphed into the Swamp Thing. Just had a lady literally run away from me in the grocery store when I rounded the corner and almost bumped into her.
We are surrounded by people who literally belong in padded cells.
I sure hope these kids make it to adulthood and then sue the ever-loving-heck out of their abusive parents.
Here in NYC, on many occasions it's still common for 50% of the people on the subway at any given time to be wearing masks. It does vary, and sometimes it's more and often less, but there are always a non-trivial number. Fewer outside walking in the street and in the park, but still far, far too many. Many people still put them on when they go into a store or into any building, even though it is not required, and some give us sane, maskless people glares for actually daring to breathe. My building voted to keep everyone masked when anywhere outside their apartment, and the few (very few) of us who refuse are subjected to shaming, or I should say, attempts at shaming, since I at least think they are the ones who should be hanging their heads in shame for being such ignorant, stupid narcissists, ready to impose such unscientific nonsense on their neighbors.
This past weekend, we were at church. Before mass started, my husband coughed. The people behind us would not shake hands with him.
Crazy.
I've almost reached the point where I figure maybe all those covidiots who are getting every multiplying jabs and messing with their health wearing masks are doing the rest of us a favor by ultimately removing themselves from the world and gene pool. Almost. Not quite yet, but they are pushing me hard.
I have relatives and friends among the covidiots. They are good people.
But... they remind me of a person involved in a bad, abusive relationship. You keep telling your friend/relative over and over again to ditch the bad relationship, yet they won't. And you can't figure out why, since your friend is smart and should know better.
But they don't. It's maddening.
Walking on the Upper West Side just now, I passed someone in one of those plastic face shields. I mean, I had actually forgotten about those, but it’s this woman’s way of life, evidently forever.
I've seen masks and face shields at the same time.
If you're that terrified, you should not leave the bubble of your home EVER.
Good on you, stay strong!
Yeah, that was the whole problem--THEY were rarely "live and let live" about it at all. They shamed, denigrated, feared, snitched on, and shunned non-compliers, and in general sported massive self-righteous-outrage-induced-and-social-media-virtue-signal-stroked hardons for authoritarianism over those who would not jab/mask/test/be afraid. None of them were ever "it's cool, you do you" to my choices.
I work in Silicon Valley, at a farmer's market of all places, and the amount of masking has INCREASED in the last month. Yeah, outdoors.
Used to work at a university (guess why I quit), and I was shocked at how all these profs who pride themselves on their critical thinking and research skills suddenly defaulted to not questioning the pablum and platitudes from CNN and NYT.
I feel heavily disillusioned by the whole thing, and agree--this has revealed some facet of peoples' psyches that I'm not sure is a thing that can be undone.
Though in a weird way, I feel somewhat strengthened. Because integrity, I guess.
If we were on Reddit right now I'd be throwing awards at you. Perfectly said.
Because if it weren't covid but a totally identical respiratory infections with the exact same symptoms it would be fine? 🤔
I get extremely annoyed by my boss warning everyone about covid and taking precautions. It seems like it became illegal to be sick. 3 years ago if anyone declared to be sick it was brushed off as a few days illness of flu. Now it's a drama.
Yes, and the reality is that government, media, and public health propaganda completely created this problem. One, they exaggerated the risks of covid to the point that people literally believe they're at risk of death if they get it. Two, they convinced us that we could stop getting a respiratory illness, or giving it to anyone, if we followed all the NPIs they ordered us to. That gave a moral slant to it, such that "getting covid" is seen as a moral and personal failure, rather than an inevitable result of living in a world with viruses.
Well exactly they never fucking cared did they, just did what they were told to do.
“I did lots of tests” - that’s psychosis
What about Pfizer CEO Bourla with his most recent infection? Tested positive, but no symptoms. Why on earth would he get tested with no symptoms?
He's lying. They are all lying. When you see prominent people who are vax pushers getting Covid and they are "so thankful I took the vaccine or my symptoms could have been much worse", all they are doing is gaslighting people into taking the next booster. Notice the Covid outbreaks amongst the elites happen right when a new booster rolls out and they parrot the exact same talking points.
My Dad referred to someone as a pathological liar when I was a kid. I asked him what that was- he said- "they lie when they don't have to".
He was probably lying - perfect way to slide in a mention of the vaccine booster
Good question. And weird simultaneous timing with Bourla. Do we think these guys got the real “VAX“?
The entirety of his tweet was designed to convey the following message: shots keep you from having serious illness, covid is still a threat, get your boosters.
I did none....that was the best.
No mask, no tests, no shots, just said No. To all of the BS. Worked for me.
The doctor at urgent care told my friend her son probably had covid even though his tests kept coming back negative, too. You can't blame the people for thinking just like the experts, can you? 😜
There is no way we can have any confidence in doctors anymore. They believe masks work, the shots are safe and effective, and now that people have an illness they've tested negative for? I'm just waiting for when they go back to bleeding patients and muttering about humours.
A lot know masks don’t work and that the shots are nowhere near as effective as claimed (if at all) but also know they’ll be subjected to discipline if they say anything.
Trying to convince my 1946-issue vaxxed Boomer mom to let me send her some 12mg Ivermectin "just in case" she needs it over the winter. She truly has no idea, no clue of any of this, completely lost, grateful for these shots that will likely claim her.
So frustrating. I too have jabbed loved ones all around who have caught "the bug." I did offer ivermectin and got totally ignored. One of them had a serious hard time and is just starting to recover after a 3-week stint, landing in the ER and waiting for 8 hours for nothing. Three days in a row, he tried to get answers to what was ailing him. Blood work showed nothing out of the ordinary. All of that in brain fog and confusion... But, apparently, bouncing off in the broken Canadian medical system is still more desirable than taking an off-label safe alternative offered to you by someone you should ultimately have a modicum of trust in.
I know a few people like your Mom...they know nothing about IVM and will keep getting the shots or take the ‘COVID pill Paxlovid’ if they do get sick, which will be ‘prescribed by their doctor’...sadly I fear though that ‘something will ‘do them in’ related to these EUA Shots and limited tested drugs like Paxlovid!
cg, I am in the same place as my mother too.......
Me three.
In the same place and they won't take it.
Best part is her claiming ‘they’re in denial’ then going in to say how she’s tested multiple times negatively but thinks they’re false negatives.

Good, eh?

The Covidians are simply fanatics.
I think it’s actually called “Long Vaccine Side Effects”.
Hate to break it to you, GussterMolly, but they're not the ones in denial.
The cult-like Covid obsession with these people is unflappable. At this point, I believe they will forever live in a state of mass psychosis that cannot be undone. I know people like this and you can no longer reason with them no matter what you say or what you show them, facts and all. I still have family members who are willing to never see their children again because of Covid fear (and their fear of the unvaxxed). I also believe they actually enjoy some aspect of their Covid fear and allegiance to mandates despite the obvious insanity of it all. It makes them who they are and these are people who have spent their entire lives in search of a true identity. Now they have one.
That being said, on another note, I have noticed that people are nonstop coughing all over the place. Just sick people everywhere. Can't go out anywhere without getting hacked on. I live in a very highly vaccinated area btw.
there's really no hope, is there? domestic turkeys often panic over stupid stuff and huddle together in the corner of their pen, where they sometimes trample each other to death and drown in shallow puddles. these people remind me of that. and, like the turkeys, there's something far more sinister to fear, but they don't see it.
Just tell them it's VAIDS
