I can’t help but wonder if the sudden incessant push for mandating vaccination in healthcare settings has to do with one last chance to claim vaccines saved the world. if you can force the final 25+% of healthcare workers to be vaccinated then (1) you lose both the control group for which we could compare real world efficacy and long term safety data (2) you can claim vaccines are the reason we no longer need to mask up and (3) you can claim natural immunity will never be enough so we must also mandate boosters for HCWs. this is a bad scenario. as long as there is a control group of unvaccinated HCWs who evade symptomatic infection by SARSCoV2 (because they already possess cellular immunity), then there remains a threat to the “vaccine is the only way of escape” narrative. as long as naturally immune people live life unmasked and have rates of infection no different than vaccinated, then they threaten the “my mask protect you” narrative. as long as there is a control group of unvaccinated individuals, there remains a threat to the possibility of noticing long term safety signals of vaccination. the naturally immune unvaccinated are the biggest threat to the Covidian narrative. as an unvaccinated naturally immune healthcare worker providing anesthesia to COVID+ patients during surgery, this is the hill on which I will die fighting.
“THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated.”
I'm afraid I know too many "barking mad" people. I'm not sure some of them are capable of admitting they were wrong...about everything. And too many love to virtue signal and feel superior.
We are protected in the United States by our constitutional republic and distributed authority and by the 1st and 2nd Amendments, which is probably why the left has failed in their attempt at control. But, they will regroup, and they will be back. We must be alert and prepared.
The Delta variant will move across the country and hit different regions at different times. Fortunately, this variant isn't as dangerous and there is significant community immunity. The cold & flu season will return in the fall. They're try to use it to stoke fear and break people. Some communities will push for lockdowns and masks and school closures.
We were just all talking about this last night over sushi- how young people don't want to hurt anyone's feelings regarding issues they really should be questioning. Our topic was women supporting men in women's sports. Boggles my mind. On another note, I scream "the tests are bad" to at least one person daily (even friends I have known for years and who I thought had better heads on their shoulders) sigh.
This article is a good try with lots of clickable links. The writer is trying hard to be a journalist. It's very long so I want to sum it up buy copying what I thought was the best part:
"While the virus itself could certainly pass through cloth, the droplets that spread it can't. Cloth masks block most large droplets, and multi-layer cloth masks block a lot more, with reductions as high as 50-70%. Masks are much more effective at preventing an infected person from spreading COVID than they are at keeping you safe from catching it, but it's still much better than not using a mask at all, especially if you're in an area with closely-packed infected people."
What I got from this is that somewhere she got the idea (no evidence presented) that large droplets were a major way of getting Covid. I can imagine it very bad someone who is infectious was coughing or sneezing in your face from a couple feet away, but I don't recall that happening to me since this began.
So I give her credit for even writing an article titled: "What's the science behind masks? Do masks prevent or reduce COVID infection?"
I thought the idea that cloth masks work was settled in the minds of almost everybody, as true.
Notice I used the word 'true.' This writer seems to think, like most people who have kicked the religious habit, that science = truth. I would have been impressed if the title had been,"What's the truth behind masks? Do masks prevent or reduce COVID infection?"
"the teacher’s unions that have used this pandemic to such brutal effect to advance themselves are alienated and nearing full blown pariah status. they are one more dumb statement away from setting off a cascade of voucher programs."
We should be so lucky. Maybe give them the mic for just a little bit longer?
Beautiful music to my ears brother in Christ. Put on your armour . We wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers. Hallelujah we win. LM
Superb, El Gato, as per usual. The lizard limbic brain cutting off rational thinking has a medical term: "amygdala hijack". Google it. I 'm not in complete agreement about the evil people attempting to enslave us, I think even they have been in thrall to unbelievable fear and dread, though, of course, they are seeing their chance to increase their power, in what they believe is a righteous cause. Mike Yeadon calls this "convergent opportunity". Hail to Saint Anthony and Uncle Bill.

Mr. Gato,
You may want to fix some typos:
>>> of message is the gestaly. theirs is anti-socisl.
Should (presumably) read,
"OUR message is the GESTALT, theirs is anti-SOCIAL."
I'm afraid I know too many "barking mad" people. I'm not sure some of them are capable of admitting they were wrong...about everything. And too many love to virtue signal and feel superior.

The battle is won. The war continues.

Brilliant,as usual.even in third world countries there is a lot of pressure to conform
