No convincing necessary.

It's all threats and bullying now.

They don't give a shit whether people buy it anymore. They just want to crush dissent.

We know they are lying, they know they are lying, they know we know they are lying, we know they know we know they are lying, but they are still lying

I recall reading that the Nazis only ever managed to fool about 40% of the German population, meaning the majority knew what they were all along, yet they managed to seize dictatorial control of that society. A credulous minority can pose a real danger to a free society.

I'm losing hope. I have such bitterness and contempt for those who are still falling for the obvious lies. At this point, their ignorance has to be willful, or if not, then the gullibility of those who still believe is dangerous to us all

Nope. Not fallin' for it at all.

You (or someone) missed the third step in that logic: "Convincing the jabbed and mega boostered that it's actually logical that their jabs and boosters work so well that they have to avoid any contact with the never jabbed."

And yet people that I "hang with" (or used to hang with) are all on board with this...fully vaxxed, brag about their boosters (and how they felt awful afterwards) and continue to mask and shame those who don't. I can't anymore. I just can't.

I don't believe that there are as many as there saying who are vaxxed. I think it's just a ploy to make us think we are few

The average USA double vaxxed & booster on the schedule dullard hasn't even waken up to "14 days to slow the spread" meaning forever. They listen not to Pink Floyd. The trust the government.

I subscribe to the daily propaganda reports from Oregon Health Authority, and today’s email led with the headline, “It’s not every day you get your vaccine in a livestock barn.”

Can they get any more obvious that TPTB view us as sheep?! 🤣🤣🤣

“The media are currently painting a bizarre picture.

One where the Vaccinated are protected from COVID19, but not protected from the unvaccinated.

Some people genuinely believe it as well.”

The second part is wrong. In Israel out of 9.3 million people, 7.8 million were elligible (20+) and 6.7 took the first 2 doses. For the third 1.5 million said no and lost all their rights. That means that 5.2 million still "believe" the vaccine hype will save them.

Israel has announced shot #4 is coming so we'll se if they lose another million or two or if the rest say ENOUGH.

Sad but true.

Why, only people who haven’t refined their capacity for doublethink could find any difficulty following that circular illogic.

This is pharmaceutical nirvana! A gene therapy you have to take every six months for the rest of your life, paid for by a government who won’t negotiate drug prices! And, it reduces the surplus population! Triple crown!

They are telling kids they'll be 'superheroes' for getting the jab. Their super power will be growing clots and heart attacks.

These times remind me of a James Thurber quote "The hell bent get where they're going." I'm not interested in joining them but it's hard to avoid the lemming stampede.

The jabbed are so credulous that convincing them of anything is an easy task now. Even Big Bird is telling them what to do now.

I think the party would have to pass out plenty of weed, LSD, and mezcal served in a Klein bottle to enable grokking of this meme.

Not so tricky. Most of the jabbed are committed to the cult. None of the unjabbed will be convinced, though many might submit to coercion.

Look at Australia. They’ve dropped the pretense it’s about health. Get the jab or live a lonely isolated life, they say.

Excellent "thought experiment" - had this discussion the other day with a colleague. If the vaxx doesn't prevent transmission, and emergency rooms are currently crowding with those who have the vaxx, and you think the vaxx protects you, shouldn't you be more afraid of being in public with those who are vaccinated vs non vaccinated with anti-bodies vs. non vaccinated but no antibodies. Maybe we should all wear certain hats so we know our correct congregation group. We can all huddle in three sections in restaurants:

1. Vaccinated with full boosters - green hats

2. Vaccinated partially - yellow hats

3. Non Vaccinated - anti-bodies from previous infection - orange hats

4. Non Vaccinated - no previous infection and will probably die in front of your eyes - red hats

5. Children - more likely to die in a car crash or from the flu, so they should be masked but kept separate unless they're illegal immigrants, then they can't be separated unless paid $450k as an illegal immigrant (note, you must be an illegal immigrant, you can't be a US citizen arrested for drunk driving and separated from your kids while you're in jail just because thems the rulezzzz man).

Now go shelter in place and whatever you do, don't resume your blue collar job transporting goods across the US. Inflation is transitory. No worries.

So, this vax mania is the First Rider of the Apocalypse.

This is a lighthearted tribe, and I like that, but these are consequential times.

The First Horseman has a crown and a bow. The Greek for “bow” is “toxon”—where we get “toxin” because arrows were often poisoned in John’s day. And “crown”? “Corona” means “crown”. The spike proteins make up the crown and they are the toxin of the vax.

It fits too closely to ignore.

Check revelation chapter 6. He is a conqueror. Amazing how successful they’ve been in getting people jabbed. Billions.

At this point the only thing that makes sense is that these vaccines are Covid + Something. I just don't know what that something is and LEAST tinfoil I get is that NIH knows of another virus that was being modified and they are trying to protect against that one too, but they can't say that because it would be an admission of guilt for Covid-19.

So what states are the least covid authoritarian right now. Besides Florida and Texas?

The reason that this doesn't make sense to you is because it is not rational behavior. It is about faith and virtue signaling, not science or reason.

Faith that man is destined to conquer nature, the stars, life, the universe and everything. So a new virus with a CFR a little higher than the flu must not be accommodated, adapted to, or lived with, it must be beaten with the newest and shiniest science we can muster. So not just any old vaccine, a new mRNA vaccine. Not Merck's old boring Ivermectin but Merck's new mutagenic

meanwhile , out in the real world:

Visited a kids indoor college sporting event in North Carolina a few weekends ago

The 4 teams present and fans were all screaming at the top of their lungs

There were retirees checking masks were on as a gate to get into the stands, where one or two had them on

My sense is that this is gone in a lot of places, and going in others ....

That said, talking to a brilliant Brooklyn colleague yesterday who was sick from getting the booster. I didn't bother asking him how he rationalized needing a booster so soon, and if he'd accepted if he was not on the sunk costs trap of needing them every 6m. Feel sorry for him, and the others in NYC on this thread who feel trapped ....

PS - took the J&J jab in the past few months
