what has been perpetrated the past 18 months is contrary to what that check was written out for!

And why is this happening now? Well, almost certainly because they were waiting for vaccination numbers to get high enough that they could now punish the unvaccinated with small enough disruption. In other words, they were waiting for vaccination numbers to get *high enough* so that they could create *new restrictions*. Does that sound like a pathway back to normalcy to you? Aren't things supposed to go in the other direction?

Do you think Biden will even bother to articulate some standard that could be reached at which point whatever new rules he creates go away? I bet he doesn't even try.

What do you want to bet it's going to be at least 5 things that already didn't work?

And they won't work again, because winter is coming.

Im a doc and if this gang rape proceeds they will try to deny medicare $ to any entity that accepts medicare payments whose staff isnt vaxxed . Thats 60% of my practice revenue. That would effectively disemploy me. Im an equal partner in a 4 man group. My 3 partners Have all been vaxxed in feb 2021. So i have a choice. Resist and drag them all down with me. Or resign. The rage and resentment is off the scales.

Back in 1965 organized medicine got into bed with the devil. Fed government devil promised $$$. Medicare was passed. Devil talked all nice and sweet and lulled medicine into a trance and slowly fastened on the shackles and manicles and iron maiden. And now fed government is whipping out its giant spiked phallus to rape us all where the sun dont shine.

Gato is right--unless we (every single one of us taking personal responsibility and not shuttling the task to "others") stands up and cries f this we are doomed. It's here and now, right now. Bring it on.

Biden has quite dismal approval rating right now…does the vax pass poll well? This is a horrible nightmare if our country complies.

I would so love to share that top meme with my IG friends. Would you mind? I would be happy to give you proper attribution. This nightmare just keeps going on and on. Your essays landing into my inbox always give me hope and I appreciate every word you write. Please keep it up.

The "vaccines" do not stop infection by or transmission of the Delta variant. The fully vaxxed can be infected and transmit and have similar viral loads to unvaxxed. The other variants of concern will likely evade vaxx immunity as well. Vaxx passports will fail because the "vaccines" are failing.

How many boosters are people willing to take? How often? For how long?

I'm not saying they won't try. I'm saying they're going to fail. And they're going to hurt a lot of people along the way.

The social contract was two shots and we all get to return to normal life. It didn't work. In some areas, it's as bad or worse than it was last year.

According to a CDC post I saw today, we are about half the country.

I cant see this ending in anything other than a total dollar collapse and mass civil unrest and violence

what is your best guess as to new restrictions? No travel if not vaccinated? Mandatory digital passports : paper no longer acceptable?

Taking bets on required vaccination status (digital passport) for all commercial flights. (Corporate jets, no requirement.)

Here's my report from mask-happy south suburban Chicago: shopping at my local Sam's Club, I came across 4 people completely sans mask, about 15 people, including staff, wearing the mask as a chin diaper, about another 7-10 wearing the mask as a sub-nasal covering. Et moi? I wear the mask on and off because I have RESIST! written on it. People look and I can see the warring and conflict in their eyes assuming they don't immediately look away. As soon as I see that they read it, I pull the mask down.

Oh shit...am I a performance artist now?

What have you (looking at you, Kool-aid drinkers) given up so far? What have you lost permanently (part of your children's' youth, part of your life, your happiness, social contacts, entertainments, freedoms, etc etc etc etc)? What has it gotten you in return? (answer: further down the rat hole). And no, none of it is the fault of right wing extremists, vax deniers, covid deniers, Sturgis bikers, unmasked students, college kids, etc etc etc. The fault lies with the shell attempting to enunciate the 6-pronged assault later today, and more importantly the massive machinery behind him. Time to stop blindly giving up important things for these tyrants perhaps? They don't give a rat's ass about you and your suffering masked kids. That should be beyond obvious by now. If you choose to follow your commitment bias and their propaganda rather than common sense, the next stop is Australia. Fasten your seat belts please.

I went to the dentist today. Masks no longer required, no question about vax status. Took a friend to a doctor’s appointment today. Masks still required but no questions about vax status and the doctor didn’t even bring it up with my unvaccinated friend. Another double vaxed friend has a minor surgery scheduled next week. She has to be covid-tested Saturday or surgery is canceled. Bizarro world. I have wondered if they can start canceling insurance if you’re not vaxed.

Insightful overall analysis of Propaganda in Age of Covid with Mark Crispin Miller. Very much on point. Easy to see why the Cult has gone to great lengths to silence this NYU professor. https://unlimitedhangout.com/ulh-podcast/

Do you think with insurance renewal season coming there will be incentives to encourage vaccinations? Many employers will give a discount if the employee gets a physical every year. What is they give you a nice discount for COVID and flu vaccine acceptance?

Can I get odds that they will make no mention of early treatment?
