sweden has now stopped recommending covid vaccination for all but high risk children from 5-11 because “we don’t see any clear benefit to vaccinating them.
denmark has had enough with their recent fascist flirtation and have decided they would prefer “old normal” to all this “new normal” that has been going around.
that’s a powerful phrase: “the life we knew before.” it’s the correct formulation. let’s hope it also includes another aspect of those halcyon days:
not having to constantly worry about the next panic driven authoritarian impulse from a capricious state intruding upon our lives and livelihoods because some epidemiologically illiterate health agency got the vapors.
on this, the jury is still out.
but still, good news for swedes and danes.
also great news for european and american mapmakers alike as they adapt to this new reality and update the cartography for use in the mainstream media:
at this rate, estonia is going to be open to the arctic before long…
"not having to constantly worry about the next panic driven authoritarian impulse from a capricious state intruding upon our lives and livelihoods because some epidemiologically illiterate health agency got the vapors." This is such a powerful statement for me. I wake many mornings and check to see if Biden has mandated something new. I just discovered our local science museum mandates masks (not mandated by city or state). Science has been killed. Its definitely the big things but also the little things that are bothering me now. I hate seeing people in their masks. It reminds me how dumb people are and that's depressing. I am so sick of society right now.
Be the smiling person going about one's business and doing what you do with joy as an example. I am trying to be. I "took over" ukulele practices and am scheduling gigs much to the Prez. of our club and other board members who are "not participating in any indoor events" - (you know because of that cold thing going around)- and THEY. HATE. ME. FOR. IT. I just asked the group if they wanted to participate in a neighborhood "battle of the bands" and the scaredy-cat (sorry!) Prez. said "Well I certainly hope this will be held outdoors"- SIT. STAY. (Dogs obey- cats do what they want to!)
Good for you Cheryl, I wish I played so I could join you!
I was disappointed recently when I was asked to join a prayer group...over zoom. I couldn't believe it. I didn't join the group. Thankfully, I have other opportunities to join LIVE people in prayer.
Oh I can top that one...my graduate school had a wine tasting over zoom. They sent out an email with list of wine to buy so you can all sip it together apart over zoom. Crazy.
Seriously terrible analogy with the dogs vs cats. Dogs literally go to war alongside us, protect us and our families, and are willing to do things we ask of them because it makes us happy. Mistaking loyalty for "obedience" is as bad as mistaking fascism for "science".
I apologize...it just seemed to "fit" at the time of writing. I would love to tell the President of my group to just "sit" and "stay(home)"- but he still is weaseling into our on-line conversations cause he has lost the "control" he thought he had!. I love pooches! Consider me wrong!
I don't do that to my kitties...they have a nanny who comes twice daily to feed, play and brush them! (We joke about hardly ever going anywhere anymore because of outr "babies").
it hasn't been without the naysayers thinking I am putting these people in danger. Yes, one board member thought we had some responsibility for "keeping people safe" so they canceled practices. I have shown up and so have 8-10 others, every week. Like we can't manage our own lives and select any possible risks for ourselves. I sure won't tell this woman that I ride my mountain bike in the dark most mornings, or swim in shark infested (Alcatraz) waters. She might try to deter my decisions! haha!
I love all sharks...have seen plenty when scuba diving and snorkeling. Walt Stack is my hero! :-) (Along with other bay area eccentrics- Pedro Ordenas and his friends have done the Alcatraz swim over 1000 times!- Me only 10. But didn't start until I was in my 40s!)
In a supermarket without a mask mandate (except for the poor vaccinated staff), there are still more masked people than not. So refreshing to round a corner to see an unmasked blonde woman with a smile - it was the smile that made the moment memorable - a normal, happy, person. If she never crosses my path again, I'll remember the smile, because so many people are not smiling, or covered altogether.
I smile broadly at those who are not wearing masks. There was a woman in Walmart the other morning that I kept running into- and she would veer way over to the other side of the isle- she was double mask and I would say "doublemask doublemask doublemask" every time I walked by her. I still smiled btw. If you are this scared, please call in for your groceries. I don't want to see you!
My local acoustic meetup is the same way. They won't play inside unless it's distanced with masks. And then, only once in a while. The rest of their jams are virtual. I haven't gotten together with them since this all started. :(
Although slightly different in musical style 😁 Kid Rock is in the news saying he won't play at any dates where masks or vax passports are required. I guess he's not friends with that withered fossil, Neil Young*.
*If anyone should have seen the needle and the damage done, you'd think it would be him. I realize that song was about narcotics, but alas I suspect we will be counting the death and damage toll for many years going forward. That is, if anyone is allowed to count, which remains somewhat in doubt. 😶
So sorry...start your own renegade group if you can find any takers. That's what I did....you might be surprised at who shows up. Then you can quietly say "I told you so"- by action.
A great thing for me this past week was attending a political fundraiser with 80+ people in a small winery and four comedians! There were two actual comedians, a funny intro guy, and the candidate himself was quite funny, too.
None of the attendees wore masks except for a Democrat "tracker" who hadn't bought a ticket and stood out like a sore Karen: Ejected, of course.
I'm still not sick - didn't even get the Omicold :)
Attended an Equine fundraiser in the fall of 2020 (Sept)- inside and outside venue. Most were not wearing masks then except a few who were clearly fearful and kept taking theirs off and putting them back on (at the lunch table and outside)- I was saddened because she was a friend of mine who has been scared out of her mind these last two years (won't come to my house....)
Kudos to you Cheryl. It is difficult to see the masked followers in the stores & outside. So far, my mumbling hasn't reached the masked ones ears; but, I'm a runner so try & catch me. And as for dogs...my smooth fox terrier would never ever be a follower. So please exclude terriers, now the hunting dogs...that's a different story. And the musicians...shows their character & massive psychosis formation.
Will do (dog wise!)- yay for running and never wore my mask running/cycling/hiking. We had trail runners meet up in our area..half way up a damn mountain and they posted pictures of themselves with masks on. Do they look back and say "What was I thinking?" I wonder....
Oh, I've progressed beyond mumblings and even ostentatious eye rolls. One thing that infuriates me is people pulling up their mask they had had under their nose or chin when they approach me on the street. Now I add to the eye roll and head shake a clearly audible, "What, are you afraid of me?" I have no idea what the effect is, since they never respond, although sometimes I get a startled look. I've made remarks about child abuse while passing people with very young children muzzled to the eyeballs, and yelled at a masked busker to take the damn thing off in the subway earlier this week. I've absolutely had it and can't figure out whether this is a sign I'm losing my mind or regaining my sanity.
It's part of the game to keep us afraid and in some state of anxiety. It becomes more difficult to make clear rational decisions, which is then used to nudge us into behavioural directions without our fully realising. I'm sick of it too, yet I know I have to just stop and breathe and unplug... I hope that helps.
Spot on. Thanks, it does. Being reminded to live is important. I think we have become so accustomed to the insanity that we forget we once had lives that didn't revolve around government mandates.
stop, breathe, unplug and try to laugh - helps a lot. Even if it is not a laugh but just a grimace you still get the right chemistry going on in your body.
This was H.L. Mencken's description of the intent of government a hundred years ago:
"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary"
When you see the glass as half-empty…flip it around… Be extra grateful and smile 😊 when you see people with fully- visible faces !!! Focus on THE GOOD 😊
Same feeling here. These people with masks are just ignorant. It has even been in the regular press now, that masks are useless. I think some people are now ashamed to show their faces, and that makes it barable.
It's more than ignorance. It's mental illness. I have spoken to several people who admit that they know masks are useless in preventing infection or transmission, *and* that they are harmful because they reduce oxygen intake, increase CO2 and have numerous other harms, but they still wear it, "just to be safe" or "because I believe there is a virus." Many are people who are activists! This mask thing isn't going away even if we manage to educate everyone about the deadly jabs. And until we get the masks off people, we'll never get out of the totalitarian fascist matrix.
Completely agree with you, Martha. I live in central OK, and my job forces me to have to venture into Norman a couple of times a month. Home of OU, and enclave of insanely masked idiots.
Fortunately, here in the OKC area, there are few wearing masks, overall. And no real mask-mandated places, outside of hospitals and such.
But lucky me, had to renew the tag for my Jeep this month. Went to my local tag agency. Not one customer wearing a mask. Six ladies working behind the counter... and the ONLY ONE wearing a stupid mask, is the one I get! 🙄
Luckily where I live, they are quite the exceptions now. In the department store, only the poor cashiers wore them probably must. I think you are right, it is a psychosis, says Dr Desmet. The video is still up, where he describes what went on, and how this is a mass psychosis. I have not been afraid of the virus, I have been afraid of the jabs being pushed so hard, and then of the reaction of some of my former friends. (I did not think it would come to lynch mobs here, but in some places it looked quite close)
What will be interesting is someone wears an N95 masks & suffocates from it or some other bad thing. Will that make the news? Will people be told how you must have a tight seal for it to work & even then the virus gets through? Nope.
I remember early on in this debacle a news report about a woman in NJ wearing an N95 mask who passed out and crashed her car into a pole. I'm sure it's not an isolated example but I doubt any other cases have been reported since.
Have any of us, over the past two plus years, seen any evidence at all that even if we tied these people up and forced them to read or listen to every scientific article and discussion among experts, not to mention testimonies and photos of people harmed by these infernal devices, it would change their minds? A few, yes, I've had a couple of successes, but I suspect we'd do well to convince 1-2%. Not that we shouldn't keep trying, though.
The quote is excellent: It captures the direction of the zeitgeist, because it captures common sense and decency, and the public figures all that out sooner or later.
The Vikings join the Aztecs in performing science, while the US continues to perform voodoo magic and child sacrifice. Ghoulish gnome Fauci now wants 3 jabs for kids.
The child sacrifice is really a thing. So disturbing. Part of the entire cult. And how many times does 666 show up? Too many. Google Chrome logo is three sixes overlaid in a wheel. And on and on... I'm not even religious but this is getting blatantly biblical.
I'm still wary of joining the dots on logos and symbols, but I too feel something's happened in terms of ethical balance.
Perhaps having the majority of the population not attend sermons with a moral bent every Sunday leads to a long-term erosion of societal duties? This feels like the most unchecked, selfish decade I've witnessed.
A lot of folks seem to feel that we are on the cusp of a new awakening, renaissance, revival of interest in religion. People who are lonely, isolated, angry (as in mass formation psychosis) look for something... anything to cling to. Some find totalitarian 'saviors,' others find the real Thing. People have been turning away, in North America anyway, from religion for about 60 years now; these things always run in cycles. People I know who never had much time or thought for religion, are asking 'What's all this God stuff about, anyway?"
The answer is to witness to them. Explain how to accept Jesus into your life, and what that has meant to you and will mean to them. In times like this, I see many folks on this substack asking 'What can I do? I'm just a small cog in an immense machine?' Well, you can witness your faith to the uninitiated, and you can pray.
Prayer, each and every prayer, takes power away from Satan and delivers it to God. This is something each of us can do, every day, in ways small and large. Remember the old philosophical question about the butterfly in the forest? Well, each prayer, every moment spent in communion with God and Jesus, can be much more powerful than any butterfly's wings; yet see what the butterfly was able to accomplish. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterfly_effect)
If ever the time was right, if ever the world needed it more, the time is right now. You can do this wherever you are, any time night or day.
It also helps take your mind off of the overwhelming sense of evil that has been manifest the past few years, and focus it on something positive. Prayer not only helps the one you are praying for, it helps you.
Yes. Tests and masks made in China. (No, I don’t hate Chinese people). Our country has got to get back to manufacturing goods here, so that folks can have middle-class jobs. It CAN be done.
Don't hate Chinese either, but as you state, how can a country stand, if nothing is made there? It used to be that everything was made locally, less transport, less pollution, more local jobs, people have less commute... all win-win. I am sure the same goes for China.
What amazes me is that some people still listen to Enemy of All Mankind mass-murdering puppy-torturing quack doctor Anthony Fauci and *believe* what he says.
That is a crying shame. A poll last week proved that at least 94 % of the people who voted called him Mr Evil. But still a few percent found him trustworthy. These people should really be treated because they are sick, too
I do not trust this people. One step forward, two steps backwards. They think they have absolute power over our lives and they act that way. Be careful!
Great this is happening but here in the US legislatures need to be proactive and expressly strip governors, county commissioners, public health departments, etc. of "emergency" powers. They have demonstrated that they are at best panicky neurotics and potentially much worse. They cannot be trusted with the power to suspend liberties.
The good news is the WEF and their embedded moles pulled the trigger too soon, showed their true colors, and it looks like it's going to fail this time. We need to ensure it cannot happen again.
Moreover low level officials (mayors, county health officials, that sort) who perpetrated their own little Covid mini-tyrannies, need to be jailed. So long as they walk free we are still in danger.
I'm ill inclined to give credit or accolades to those who do a little bit of The Right Thing™ after doing The Wrong Thing™ for so long after it was obvious it was very wrong, and never having had even the tiniest, most microscopic of inklings of a reason to believe that it was indeed right.
I refuse to thank Criminals, even The IRS, when it momentarily stops putting its hand in my purse.
Returning a pittance of what you stole from me is not sufficient.
Yeah, they're removing the restrictions and hopefully the vaccine passes here in Sweden in a few weeks as well. But let's not chalk this up as a victory just yet
As a consequence, researchers are coming forward, with Aftenposten--Norway's NYT equivalent--citing an immunologist from the U of Oslo who states that "kids are better off overcoming infection rather than getting vaccinated".
Spread the word, our future--children--are winning!
Good. Maybe this is the start of destroying the "vaccines reduce hospitalization s and deaths" lie. This needs to kill off these more than useless clot shots.
Not buying it. All lockdown together, all release restrictions together. Remember the censorship, the coercion (nhs staff still face the sack), ignorance of deaths from the jab. Sorry, it ain’t returning to normal, how can it.
"Gradually, the disdain for Christianity the early Vikings held shifted. One of the reasons for this was that Christian forces began to win battles and earn the respect of their Viking enemies. Men like Alfred the Great in Britain, King Constantine in Scotland, and Mael Sechnaill in Ireland devised strategies that broke the spell of Viking invincibility. "
Now is not the time to be celebrating, it is the time to accelerate the correction to the last two years. If we sit back and say "we won" then we let the enemy regroup and attack some place where there is weakness. This may be the beginning of momentum for sanity and a key point in this war for our very lives that we must not squander.
I’m thinking enough citizens have been sufficiently dosed with that mystery serum that the target numbers have been achieved. Now we wait for the longer term outcomes—results we have to guess and speculate on and analyze incoming data to figure out. Meanwhile, yeah, “We say goodbye to the restrictions and welcome the life we knew before”.
Enjoy it, Scandinavian cousins, like the last bottle of a fine old wine.
Extermination campaign. The hawks in the PLA want to kill every American man, woman, and child. The WEF want a sharp global population reduction. No one in power is standing against them. Much of American bureaucracy is captured by the CCP.
That is a very common lie by omission by the Covidian Cult- counting all "unknown" status people as unvaccinated, and, increasingly, they include "unknown booster" status as unvaccinated, too.
It seems hospitals hereabouts only counted as vaccinated, those that got the shots in their hospital (or chain of hospitals). The shots were given in other places here, hardly anyone had them in there I suppose so almost everyone here goes by unvaccinated. I think in our county less than 50% got the jabs anyway. People are smart here LOL
That title: hehehe! I saw a scathing article yesterday about how the evil DeSantis singlehandedly stopped the Biden admin from implementing national vax passports. So this morning I sat down and wrote DeSantis a thank-you note for that. It seemed appropriate.
If we can think back 23 months ago, through the mists of Rona fog, you may recall people who rationally did not know if we were all 1) under first-strike bioassault from a China that would be eager to conduct a sly first attack on Bad Orange Man's country during an election while giving cover to cracking down on a problematic Hong Kong population, or 2) whether the Pandora Pandemic resulted from the fumblings of intel agency Bond villains. Or both. Within weeks of March 2020, all who read widely and skipped TeeVee hysteria knew that few would perish in the accurate grand count, luckily kids would be fine, testing was suspect, not much would halt progress of viral gasses, and many of us who work in the field of immunoScIEncE were deeply concerned about altering the immunological landscape through interventions...for fear of easily predictable mutations aka variants. Upon discovering that the vaxx regime that was being undertaken was fundamentally untested, ridiculously convoluted, and risky on many fronts especially with all we know about how vaxxcode recombination with exogenous virus spawns variants who find that the boosted are it's new favorite food, we should have commanded FULL STOP! But it has become clear that HUGE forces of previously unappreciated proportions (whether planned or emergent properties) were at work to alter the lives of billions. So if a politician's stated goals for the pandemic endgame are anything other than full-stop near-immediate endgame and return to human life circa 2018, they are suspect and should be shown the political door. Because anything other than that level of intensity is guaranteed to prolong this powergrab in ways that democracies based on timed elections cannot survive. Mail-in democracy would have been the envy of Saddam Hussein.
And Finland does whatever the overaged five spice girls in the Finnish government feel like doing this week :) If PM feels like going clubbing, well, then the night clubs should stay, according to the Science, a bit later open! :) If the panic-karen girls are in charge this week instead, well, the restaurants should close at 6 pm and everybody should be responsibly AFRAID! Yeah, it is a circus.
As far as children go, lets not forget that their 'plan' is to get these gene-vaxxes added to the approved Childhood Vaccine Schedule. If they can manage that, they're home free. Can't be sued for any ill effects. Then they can roll out Cominarty here in the USA. No risk. Devious, Evil, Inhuman...and Fauci, the FDA & others all go along...
DeSantis appointed him in September last year. He is now in the news because the Florida Senate is just getting around to confirming him. The Democrats of course are not very happy with him.
To see how he drives Democrats (and other Covidphobics) crazy, have a look at this article in the Daily Beast from last October detailing his most blatant sins and "absurd" beliefs, in particular that he can't "communicate clearly and effectively . . . when half of my face is covered", and that vaccines are being "treated almost like a religion, and that’s just senseless". The title of the article says it all: "Entire Universe Dunks on Florida Surgeon General After Insane Mask Standoff".
I am against welfare that takes male out of family (designed to destroy black family.. Moynihan, 60s), abortion which kills black babies in horrible rates, vaccines.
Denmark did this once before (in September) and a month later it changed its mind.
I am glad they are doing it, but I would like to understand their decision-making process. In 2020, they had less cases and less hospitalizations, and in January 2021 (at the peak of their wave), they had less cases and about the same hospitalization (Jan 5, 2021: 925 vs Jan 27, 2022: 873).
So, in 2020-21 this was the most dangerous virus, but all of a sudden it's not anymore (with *more* cases and about the same hospitalization). Same stuff is going on in other countries. What is really going on?
Is the fact that many countries (Denmark, Norway, Ireland, Finland, Spain, etc.) are beginning to scrap COVID restrictions really just a silent admission that measures completely failed and that vaccines are not working great either? And this is really just a way to make people forget all this and pretend the past two years didn't really happen?
On the other hand, you have countries like Austria, Italy, France who are starting to tighten restrictions (for unvaccinated).
Yes. Release the hounds. Pretend all of the literally inane stuff you did goes unnoticed. Hope that the va((ines do no more long term harm.
The French in WWII were far WORSE than their idols, the German Nazi Third Reich. Read about it. Fascinating... Austria, Italy, and France need a Canadian CONVOY!
Ireland dropped nearly all domestic covid restrictions last Saturday. NPHET recommended lifting restrictions on Thursday and 6am Saturday morning restrictions were lifted.Saturday night was great craic in Cork city a free for all🤪
Sweden is schizophrenic. Some policy decisions make sense while others show zero rationality. How does closing bars early make any sense? Is the late Covid worse than the early Covid?
The thing they are glossing over when they talk about "going back to the way we were" is the jab mandates. And vax passports.
This whole thing started with a fear-mongering fest, with videos & news out of China, then Italy, to the point where we all accepted lockdowns.
Once we accepted lockdowns, everything else (restrictions) was easy: "we are doing this so we don't have to have another lockdown (or extend our lockdown, or make it worse)."
From quite early in 2020 - before even there was (supposedly) any vax developed, and with all the quite pertinent reservations about the difficulties of developing a vax for a coronavirus - the message was: "the vaksines will save us."
This seems to have been the main goal of all the restrictions - to get people to accept mandatory jabs and vax passports (and digital ID and a cashless society with a social credit system - but those have not been rolled out to us yet).
So that we can "go back to normal".
But the Klaus Schwabs of this world have been telling us there is no going back to the old normal, and the "normal" we are heading for is a "new normal".
So maybe I am being a tad over-cynical, but I am inclined to be a little bit cautious about celebrating too early...
It's my understanding, though, from reading other articles...that the only reason Denmark is doing this is because of their allegedly high vaxxed rate (82%). Ditto Sweden. So ...ok, whatever. Damage already done, for the most part.
My maternal Danish ancestors would be proud. If I had time, I’d whip up some Æbleskiver in celebration.
I’m curious if anyone who knows Danish cuisine has ever heard of Finca? My great-grandmother used to get a hankering for this Danish delicacy about once a year. It was an all-day ordeal and likely involved pork guts. The “stink was awesome” and filled the entire neighborhood, my grandma said. All the kids ran out of the house yelling, “Finca!” to escape the stench and stayed as far away as possible until the cooking was over.
We have elections this year, last time was in sep 2018. What happened fall of 2021 was that the prime minister and leader of the ruling socialist party resigned, being more despised and ridiculed than Canada's Trudeau, thus necessatating the riksdag (parliament) to approve of his successor as prime minister (this is very simplified, it was a whole passle of a hassle of technicalities even the nonpartisan speakers had trouble straightening out.
The business with vaccine passes is... weird. The enforcement is completely arbitrary it seems, and most people and places seem to just shrug and make token efforts to be seen as complying. It's especially obvious in the migrant ghettoes since the police have to walk on tiptoes there, both because of the migrant gangs who are armed with AK-47s and hand grenades, and the liberal media who is armed with politicians and the "Racist!"-branding iron. Ain't no quicker way to end your career than being called racist by someone connected politically, facts not withstanding.
"rationalnuggets" comment on this country being schizofrenic is sadly spot on.
he should tour the ports of the North coast in his TampaBay-buccaneer-longboat. Carrying out raids, ripping masks of karens, and pillaging stores of vaccines and dumping them in the ocean.
You have to be kidding me. Going along with 75% of the stalanist tactics rather than embracing them whole-heartedly is not praise-worthy. Yes others were worse but so what?
Good for the JCVI, they are apparently somewhat less corrupt than the FDA and CDC, but lets keep things in perspective.
I'm with Jeff, incumbents are well into Nuremberg 2.0 territory. Cabinet over-ruled JVCI (already a pressured report) and advocated jabs for 12-17. Savij Jabber got a 'second opinion' off Chris Whitless
"not having to constantly worry about the next panic driven authoritarian impulse from a capricious state intruding upon our lives and livelihoods because some epidemiologically illiterate health agency got the vapors." This is such a powerful statement for me. I wake many mornings and check to see if Biden has mandated something new. I just discovered our local science museum mandates masks (not mandated by city or state). Science has been killed. Its definitely the big things but also the little things that are bothering me now.

Be the smiling person going about one's business and doing what you do with joy as an example. I am trying to be. I "took over" ukulele practices and am scheduling gigs much to the Prez. of our club and other board members who are "not participating in any indoor events" - (you know because of that cold thing going around)- and THEY. HATE. ME. FOR. IT. I just asked the group if they wanted to participate in a neighborhood "battle of the bands" and the scaredy-cat (sorry!) Prez. said "Well I certainly hope this will be held outdoors"- SIT. STAY. (Dogs obey- cats do what they want to!)
Good for you Cheryl, I wish I played so I could join you!
I was disappointed recently when I was asked to join a prayer group...over zoom. I couldn't believe it. I didn't join the group. Thankfully, I have other opportunities to join LIVE people in prayer.
Oh I can top that one...my graduate school had a wine tasting over zoom. They sent out an email with list of wine to buy so you can all sip it together apart over zoom. Crazy.
That's one way to increase wine sales! Oh boy!
So glad you found an in person group. It's SO important for one's mental and spiritual health!
Seriously terrible analogy with the dogs vs cats. Dogs literally go to war alongside us, protect us and our families, and are willing to do things we ask of them because it makes us happy. Mistaking loyalty for "obedience" is as bad as mistaking fascism for "science".
Love the rest of your post, though! 😊🐕🐈
I apologize...it just seemed to "fit" at the time of writing. I would love to tell the President of my group to just "sit" and "stay(home)"- but he still is weaseling into our on-line conversations cause he has lost the "control" he thought he had!. I love pooches! Consider me wrong!
You can also do to him what most people do to felines when going on holidays, leave him food and water and lock him inside where it’s “safe” 😁.
I don't do that to my kitties...they have a nanny who comes twice daily to feed, play and brush them! (We joke about hardly ever going anywhere anymore because of outr "babies").
Great comment.
That's not nice or fair! Comparing loveable, loyal, beautiful dogs to the Slave Lemmings of the Covidopalype? Yo, respec y'all!
Sorry...but it kinda fit in my comment. Your dog is exempt of course. (PS I love doggies!)
This is an excellent example of "what can I do?". Thank you for being bold enough to take action.
it hasn't been without the naysayers thinking I am putting these people in danger. Yes, one board member thought we had some responsibility for "keeping people safe" so they canceled practices. I have shown up and so have 8-10 others, every week. Like we can't manage our own lives and select any possible risks for ourselves. I sure won't tell this woman that I ride my mountain bike in the dark most mornings, or swim in shark infested (Alcatraz) waters. She might try to deter my decisions! haha!
Worried about the sand sharks or the leopard sharks??? Walt Stack wouldn't have worn a mask either!
I love all sharks...have seen plenty when scuba diving and snorkeling. Walt Stack is my hero! :-) (Along with other bay area eccentrics- Pedro Ordenas and his friends have done the Alcatraz swim over 1000 times!- Me only 10. But didn't start until I was in my 40s!)
You go girl! Walt was always my answer to the question "Did any prisoner of Alcatraz ever swim from Alcatraz to San Francisco?"
Wonderful strategy, Cheryl !
I have a vintage banjolele and a few kalas. I'm with you in spirit!
I thought that was a wine for wine tasting for a moment 😄
Thank you! One woman brought her banjolele the other day! Sure sounded good in some of the songs!
In a supermarket without a mask mandate (except for the poor vaccinated staff), there are still more masked people than not. So refreshing to round a corner to see an unmasked blonde woman with a smile - it was the smile that made the moment memorable - a normal, happy, person. If she never crosses my path again, I'll remember the smile, because so many people are not smiling, or covered altogether.
I smile broadly at those who are not wearing masks. There was a woman in Walmart the other morning that I kept running into- and she would veer way over to the other side of the isle- she was double mask and I would say "doublemask doublemask doublemask" every time I walked by her. I still smiled btw. If you are this scared, please call in for your groceries. I don't want to see you!
It's more fun to smile and say nothing. I used to love to watch the fearful skitter away when I was going down a wring way shopping aisle.
I would just laugh out loud at them...!
"I would say "doublemask doublemask doublemask" " love it
do it! :-)
That was me!!!
If you'd said "redhead", I'd have known we live in the same town, because that would have been me!
My local acoustic meetup is the same way. They won't play inside unless it's distanced with masks. And then, only once in a while. The rest of their jams are virtual. I haven't gotten together with them since this all started. :(
The Cleveland Orchestra wanted the audience to wear masks to the outdoor summer concerts. We didn't renew our subscription of 15+ years.
Although slightly different in musical style 😁 Kid Rock is in the news saying he won't play at any dates where masks or vax passports are required. I guess he's not friends with that withered fossil, Neil Young*.
*If anyone should have seen the needle and the damage done, you'd think it would be him. I realize that song was about narcotics, but alas I suspect we will be counting the death and damage toll for many years going forward. That is, if anyone is allowed to count, which remains somewhat in doubt. 😶
oooh...needle and the damage done....good recall. We can't project intelligence or critical thinking skills on someone who can write a song.
Ugh...just ridiculous!
I guess you just pretend latency is a cool reverb-like effect? SMH
So sorry...start your own renegade group if you can find any takers. That's what I did....you might be surprised at who shows up. Then you can quietly say "I told you so"- by action.
A great thing for me this past week was attending a political fundraiser with 80+ people in a small winery and four comedians! There were two actual comedians, a funny intro guy, and the candidate himself was quite funny, too.
None of the attendees wore masks except for a Democrat "tracker" who hadn't bought a ticket and stood out like a sore Karen: Ejected, of course.
I'm still not sick - didn't even get the Omicold :)
Attended an Equine fundraiser in the fall of 2020 (Sept)- inside and outside venue. Most were not wearing masks then except a few who were clearly fearful and kept taking theirs off and putting them back on (at the lunch table and outside)- I was saddened because she was a friend of mine who has been scared out of her mind these last two years (won't come to my house....)
Kudos to you Cheryl. It is difficult to see the masked followers in the stores & outside. So far, my mumbling hasn't reached the masked ones ears; but, I'm a runner so try & catch me. And as for dogs...my smooth fox terrier would never ever be a follower. So please exclude terriers, now the hunting dogs...that's a different story. And the musicians...shows their character & massive psychosis formation.
Will do (dog wise!)- yay for running and never wore my mask running/cycling/hiking. We had trail runners meet up in our area..half way up a damn mountain and they posted pictures of themselves with masks on. Do they look back and say "What was I thinking?" I wonder....
Oh, I've progressed beyond mumblings and even ostentatious eye rolls. One thing that infuriates me is people pulling up their mask they had had under their nose or chin when they approach me on the street. Now I add to the eye roll and head shake a clearly audible, "What, are you afraid of me?" I have no idea what the effect is, since they never respond, although sometimes I get a startled look. I've made remarks about child abuse while passing people with very young children muzzled to the eyeballs, and yelled at a masked busker to take the damn thing off in the subway earlier this week. I've absolutely had it and can't figure out whether this is a sign I'm losing my mind or regaining my sanity.
Cough and hock a lugi as you go by. Freaks them out....
I play the ukulele. I'll join you Cheryl! :)
Yay!
It's part of the game to keep us afraid and in some state of anxiety. It becomes more difficult to make clear rational decisions, which is then used to nudge us into behavioural directions without our fully realising. I'm sick of it too, yet I know I have to just stop and breathe and unplug... I hope that helps.
Spot on. Thanks, it does. Being reminded to live is important. I think we have become so accustomed to the insanity that we forget we once had lives that didn't revolve around government mandates.
stop, breathe, unplug and try to laugh - helps a lot. Even if it is not a laugh but just a grimace you still get the right chemistry going on in your body.
This was H.L. Mencken's description of the intent of government a hundred years ago:
"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary"
Mencken is wonderful (and free! All his stuff is public domain.) He would probably not be amused with what's become of his native Baltimore. 😐

When you see the glass as half-empty…flip it around… Be extra grateful and smile 😊 when you see people with fully- visible faces !!! Focus on THE GOOD 😊
Yes- always do! And I know for a fact (those who show up for singing/practice) are wanting to enjoy life to it's fullest too and it makes me SO happy!
Same feeling here. These people with masks are just ignorant. It has even been in the regular press now, that masks are useless. I think some people are now ashamed to show their faces, and that makes it barable.
It's more than ignorance. It's mental illness. I have spoken to several people who admit that they know masks are useless in preventing infection or transmission, *and* that they are harmful because they reduce oxygen intake, increase CO2 and have numerous other harms, but they still wear it, "just to be safe" or "because I believe there is a virus." Many are people who are activists! This mask thing isn't going away even if we manage to educate everyone about the deadly jabs. And until we get the masks off people, we'll never get out of the totalitarian fascist matrix.

got this link from Margaret Anna Alice on Substack.
thanks that is a very interesting link !
Wow!
Got the link from Margaret Anna Alice on Substack. She is AWESOME.
Agreed!
Completely agree with you, Martha. I live in central OK, and my job forces me to have to venture into Norman a couple of times a month. Home of OU, and enclave of insanely masked idiots.
Fortunately, here in the OKC area, there are few wearing masks, overall. And no real mask-mandated places, outside of hospitals and such.
But lucky me, had to renew the tag for my Jeep this month. Went to my local tag agency. Not one customer wearing a mask. Six ladies working behind the counter... and the ONLY ONE wearing a stupid mask, is the one I get! 🙄
Luckily where I live, they are quite the exceptions now. In the department store, only the poor cashiers wore them probably must. I think you are right, it is a psychosis, says Dr Desmet. The video is still up, where he describes what went on, and how this is a mass psychosis. I have not been afraid of the virus, I have been afraid of the jabs being pushed so hard, and then of the reaction of some of my former friends. (I did not think it would come to lynch mobs here, but in some places it looked quite close)
you may have been alert to these, but the average person will now need to see several days worth of articles to change their mind..
the N95 craze is ongoing
https://news.yahoo.com/washington-county-distributing-free-kn95-195600021.html
What will be interesting is someone wears an N95 masks & suffocates from it or some other bad thing. Will that make the news? Will people be told how you must have a tight seal for it to work & even then the virus gets through? Nope.
I remember early on in this debacle a news report about a woman in NJ wearing an N95 mask who passed out and crashed her car into a pole. I'm sure it's not an isolated example but I doubt any other cases have been reported since.
Have any of us, over the past two plus years, seen any evidence at all that even if we tied these people up and forced them to read or listen to every scientific article and discussion among experts, not to mention testimonies and photos of people harmed by these infernal devices, it would change their minds? A few, yes, I've had a couple of successes, but I suspect we'd do well to convince 1-2%. Not that we shouldn't keep trying, though.
And to these dumb people I say, "Please don't vote." I don't want to have your ill informed choices affect my life.
That's what is so depressing. They are voting...
You are not alone. Feel the same way.
The quote is excellent: It captures the direction of the zeitgeist, because it captures common sense and decency, and the public figures all that out sooner or later.
The Vikings join the Aztecs in performing science, while the US continues to perform voodoo magic and child sacrifice. Ghoulish gnome Fauci now wants 3 jabs for kids.
The child sacrifice is really a thing. So disturbing. Part of the entire cult. And how many times does 666 show up? Too many. Google Chrome logo is three sixes overlaid in a wheel. And on and on... I'm not even religious but this is getting blatantly biblical.
I'm still wary of joining the dots on logos and symbols, but I too feel something's happened in terms of ethical balance.
Perhaps having the majority of the population not attend sermons with a moral bent every Sunday leads to a long-term erosion of societal duties? This feels like the most unchecked, selfish decade I've witnessed.
Can we/Will we course-correct without religion?
A lot of folks seem to feel that we are on the cusp of a new awakening, renaissance, revival of interest in religion. People who are lonely, isolated, angry (as in mass formation psychosis) look for something... anything to cling to. Some find totalitarian 'saviors,' others find the real Thing. People have been turning away, in North America anyway, from religion for about 60 years now; these things always run in cycles. People I know who never had much time or thought for religion, are asking 'What's all this God stuff about, anyway?"
The answer is to witness to them. Explain how to accept Jesus into your life, and what that has meant to you and will mean to them. In times like this, I see many folks on this substack asking 'What can I do? I'm just a small cog in an immense machine?' Well, you can witness your faith to the uninitiated, and you can pray.
Prayer, each and every prayer, takes power away from Satan and delivers it to God. This is something each of us can do, every day, in ways small and large. Remember the old philosophical question about the butterfly in the forest? Well, each prayer, every moment spent in communion with God and Jesus, can be much more powerful than any butterfly's wings; yet see what the butterfly was able to accomplish. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterfly_effect)
If ever the time was right, if ever the world needed it more, the time is right now. You can do this wherever you are, any time night or day.
It also helps take your mind off of the overwhelming sense of evil that has been manifest the past few years, and focus it on something positive. Prayer not only helps the one you are praying for, it helps you.
and buying tests and masks for everyone from taxpayer's money, while they could hand out meds that help
Yes. Tests and masks made in China. (No, I don’t hate Chinese people). Our country has got to get back to manufacturing goods here, so that folks can have middle-class jobs. It CAN be done.
Don't hate Chinese either, but as you state, how can a country stand, if nothing is made there? It used to be that everything was made locally, less transport, less pollution, more local jobs, people have less commute... all win-win. I am sure the same goes for China.
What amazes me is that some people still listen to Enemy of All Mankind mass-murdering puppy-torturing quack doctor Anthony Fauci and *believe* what he says.
That is a crying shame. A poll last week proved that at least 94 % of the people who voted called him Mr Evil. But still a few percent found him trustworthy. These people should really be treated because they are sick, too
I do not trust this people. One step forward, two steps backwards. They think they have absolute power over our lives and they act that way. Be careful!
Agreed.
Great this is happening but here in the US legislatures need to be proactive and expressly strip governors, county commissioners, public health departments, etc. of "emergency" powers. They have demonstrated that they are at best panicky neurotics and potentially much worse. They cannot be trusted with the power to suspend liberties.
The good news is the WEF and their embedded moles pulled the trigger too soon, showed their true colors, and it looks like it's going to fail this time. We need to ensure it cannot happen again.
Moreover low level officials (mayors, county health officials, that sort) who perpetrated their own little Covid mini-tyrannies, need to be jailed. So long as they walk free we are still in danger.
Our Governor here in Hawaii just extended their emergency order so I know exactly why you’re saying here. It’s appalling.
And in other good news Pfizer launch trials on it’s omicron vaccine. Just in time for December last year.
Because a vaccine has always been needed for the sniffles.
🤣🤣🤣
I'm ill inclined to give credit or accolades to those who do a little bit of The Right Thing™ after doing The Wrong Thing™ for so long after it was obvious it was very wrong, and never having had even the tiniest, most microscopic of inklings of a reason to believe that it was indeed right.
I refuse to thank Criminals, even The IRS, when it momentarily stops putting its hand in my purse.
Returning a pittance of what you stole from me is not sufficient.
Not by a very long shot.
Yeah, they're removing the restrictions and hopefully the vaccine passes here in Sweden in a few weeks as well. But let's not chalk this up as a victory just yet
But let’s enjoy it. Well done Sweden.
On the 19th this month mrs Andersson and the rest of the governement extended the "emergency laws and procedures" to the last of may.
I'd give even odds that they prolong, even tighten, these laws until the election and beyond.
Don't leave those Norwegians out of this account: Norway will also scrap (most) mandates next week.
The current weekly report shows roughly 70% of all Covid-related hospitalisations occur among double and triple-jabbed:
https://fackel.substack.com/p/covid-in-norway-vaccine-failure-too
And the public health authorities' current risk assessment is discussed here:
https://fackel.substack.com/p/covid-in-norway-big-news-from-up
As a consequence, researchers are coming forward, with Aftenposten--Norway's NYT equivalent--citing an immunologist from the U of Oslo who states that "kids are better off overcoming infection rather than getting vaccinated".
Spread the word, our future--children--are winning!
Good. Maybe this is the start of destroying the "vaccines reduce hospitalization s and deaths" lie. This needs to kill off these more than useless clot shots.
Just as Austria enforces mandates. Not a good look.
Not buying it. All lockdown together, all release restrictions together. Remember the censorship, the coercion (nhs staff still face the sack), ignorance of deaths from the jab. Sorry, it ain’t returning to normal, how can it.
Every leader loves a winning side!
"Gradually, the disdain for Christianity the early Vikings held shifted. One of the reasons for this was that Christian forces began to win battles and earn the respect of their Viking enemies. Men like Alfred the Great in Britain, King Constantine in Scotland, and Mael Sechnaill in Ireland devised strategies that broke the spell of Viking invincibility. "
Now is not the time to be celebrating, it is the time to accelerate the correction to the last two years. If we sit back and say "we won" then we let the enemy regroup and attack some place where there is weakness. This may be the beginning of momentum for sanity and a key point in this war for our very lives that we must not squander.
When the New York trials (aka Nuremberg 2.0) are done and the Covid Nazis are sent to meet their maker, then it's over. Not until.
I’m thinking enough citizens have been sufficiently dosed with that mystery serum that the target numbers have been achieved. Now we wait for the longer term outcomes—results we have to guess and speculate on and analyze incoming data to figure out. Meanwhile, yeah, “We say goodbye to the restrictions and welcome the life we knew before”.
Enjoy it, Scandinavian cousins, like the last bottle of a fine old wine.
Really, it’s just a pause before the next phase—whatever that will turn out to be.
Assassins Mace and Build Back Better continue in their grisly purpose.
I continue to await deployment of killer robots. Not even kidding. You can see where this is heading..
Extermination campaign. The hawks in the PLA want to kill every American man, woman, and child. The WEF want a sharp global population reduction. No one in power is standing against them. Much of American bureaucracy is captured by the CCP.
Tough spot.
I like the A-TEAM writing on the map
I just read here that Germany made a mistake in its calculations. May be all we need to do is buy our governments a new calculator ? Maybe the one with wooden blocks ? https://dailyexpose.uk/2022/01/28/german-health-minister-says-tyrannical-covid-19-restrictions-for-unvaccinated-were-based-on-software-error/
By ‘mistake’ what they probably really mean is ‘caught in a lie’. Yes. I’m cynical.
That is a very common lie by omission by the Covidian Cult- counting all "unknown" status people as unvaccinated, and, increasingly, they include "unknown booster" status as unvaccinated, too.
It seems hospitals hereabouts only counted as vaccinated, those that got the shots in their hospital (or chain of hospitals). The shots were given in other places here, hardly anyone had them in there I suppose so almost everyone here goes by unvaccinated. I think in our county less than 50% got the jabs anyway. People are smart here LOL

Has, and always will be about passports/digitalID, its the economy stupid
That title: hehehe! I saw a scathing article yesterday about how the evil DeSantis singlehandedly stopped the Biden admin from implementing national vax passports. So this morning I sat down and wrote DeSantis a thank-you note for that. It seemed appropriate.
If we can think back 23 months ago, through the mists of Rona fog, you may recall people who rationally did not know if we were all 1) under first-strike bioassault from a China that would be eager to conduct a sly first attack on Bad Orange Man's country during an election while giving cover to cracking down on a problematic Hong Kong population, or 2) whether the Pandora Pandemic resulted from the fumblings of intel agency Bond villains. Or both. Within weeks of March 2020, all who read widely and skipped TeeVee hysteria knew that few would perish in the accurate grand count, luckily kids would be fine, testing was suspect, not much would halt progress of viral gasses, and many of us who work in the field of immunoScIEncE were deeply concerned about altering the immunological landscape through interventions...for fear of easily predictable mutations aka variants. Upon discovering that the vaxx regime that was being undertaken was fundamentally untested, ridiculously convoluted, and risky on many fronts especially with all we know about how vaxxcode recombination with exogenous virus spawns variants who find that the boosted are it's new favorite food, we should have commanded FULL STOP! But it has become clear that HUGE forces of previously unappreciated proportions (whether planned or emergent properties) were at work to alter the lives of billions. So if a politician's stated goals for the pandemic endgame are anything other than full-stop near-immediate endgame and return to human life circa 2018, they are suspect and should be shown the political door. Because anything other than that level of intensity is guaranteed to prolong this powergrab in ways that democracies based on timed elections cannot survive. Mail-in democracy would have been the envy of Saddam Hussein.
The Covid regime isn't over until the Covid Nazis and their many collaborators are in jail or hanging from the gallows.
firing squad would do as well.
drawing and quartering would be good too, in 4K
And Finland does whatever the overaged five spice girls in the Finnish government feel like doing this week :) If PM feels like going clubbing, well, then the night clubs should stay, according to the Science, a bit later open! :) If the panic-karen girls are in charge this week instead, well, the restaurants should close at 6 pm and everybody should be responsibly AFRAID! Yeah, it is a circus.
Annoying indeed. Finland changes its stance randomly. One day you think it's sane and the other day Kiuru calls the army to streets.
As far as children go, lets not forget that their 'plan' is to get these gene-vaxxes added to the approved Childhood Vaccine Schedule. If they can manage that, they're home free. Can't be sued for any ill effects. Then they can roll out Cominarty here in the USA. No risk. Devious, Evil, Inhuman...and Fauci, the FDA & others all go along...
Governor DeSantis names Dr. Joe Ladapo as surgeon general. He is a member of FLCC, America’s Frontline Doctors. Wow.
DeSantis appointed him in September last year. He is now in the news because the Florida Senate is just getting around to confirming him. The Democrats of course are not very happy with him.
https://abcnews.go.com/Health/wireStory/democrats-walk-hearing-floridas-top-doctor-82491722
To see how he drives Democrats (and other Covidphobics) crazy, have a look at this article in the Daily Beast from last October detailing his most blatant sins and "absurd" beliefs, in particular that he can't "communicate clearly and effectively . . . when half of my face is covered", and that vaccines are being "treated almost like a religion, and that’s just senseless". The title of the article says it all: "Entire Universe Dunks on Florida Surgeon General After Insane Mask Standoff".

“Felix Unger”…😊thanks for the blast-from-the-past reference!
God bless national hero Governor DeSantis and sane, ethical Dr Ladapo.
Denmark did this once before (in September) and a month later it changed its mind.
I am glad they are doing it, but I would like to understand their decision-making process. In 2020, they had less cases and less hospitalizations, and in January 2021 (at the peak of their wave), they had less cases and about the same hospitalization (Jan 5, 2021: 925 vs Jan 27, 2022: 873).
So, in 2020-21 this was the most dangerous virus, but all of a sudden it's not anymore (with *more* cases and about the same hospitalization). Same stuff is going on in other countries. What is really going on?
It was never about "cases", hospitalizations, or public health.
Here is a link that might be interesting:

Information in english about the situation here. State approved, so put your critical glasses on.
Based on my information Norway doesn't recommend the I injection for anyone under 17.
"Anyone above the age of 16 years old is advised to take a corona vaccine."
https://www.helsenorge.no/en/coronavirus/overview-of-rules-and-recommendations/
Is the fact that many countries (Denmark, Norway, Ireland, Finland, Spain, etc.) are beginning to scrap COVID restrictions really just a silent admission that measures completely failed and that vaccines are not working great either? And this is really just a way to make people forget all this and pretend the past two years didn't really happen?
On the other hand, you have countries like Austria, Italy, France who are starting to tighten restrictions (for unvaccinated).
Yes. Release the hounds. Pretend all of the literally inane stuff you did goes unnoticed. Hope that the va((ines do no more long term harm.
The French in WWII were far WORSE than their idols, the German Nazi Third Reich. Read about it. Fascinating... Austria, Italy, and France need a Canadian CONVOY!
Ireland dropped nearly all domestic covid restrictions last Saturday. NPHET recommended lifting restrictions on Thursday and 6am Saturday morning restrictions were lifted.Saturday night was great craic in Cork city a free for all🤪
Take this opportunity to organize resistance. The global Covid regime has not been defeated, and will be back.
Another spot I will be spending my tourist $$s in. Go Ireland!!
Sweden is schizophrenic. Some policy decisions make sense while others show zero rationality. How does closing bars early make any sense? Is the late Covid worse than the early Covid?
It's not supposed to make sense.

The thing they are glossing over when they talk about "going back to the way we were" is the jab mandates. And vax passports.
This whole thing started with a fear-mongering fest, with videos & news out of China, then Italy, to the point where we all accepted lockdowns.
Once we accepted lockdowns, everything else (restrictions) was easy: "we are doing this so we don't have to have another lockdown (or extend our lockdown, or make it worse)."
From quite early in 2020 - before even there was (supposedly) any vax developed, and with all the quite pertinent reservations about the difficulties of developing a vax for a coronavirus - the message was: "the vaksines will save us."
This seems to have been the main goal of all the restrictions - to get people to accept mandatory jabs and vax passports (and digital ID and a cashless society with a social credit system - but those have not been rolled out to us yet).
So that we can "go back to normal".
But the Klaus Schwabs of this world have been telling us there is no going back to the old normal, and the "normal" we are heading for is a "new normal".
So maybe I am being a tad over-cynical, but I am inclined to be a little bit cautious about celebrating too early...
The UK is lifting its mandates as well.
Elon has the power to change things but all he does is send a few tweets.

Looks like I might have to move to Denmark. Only 8 hrs drive for me.
It's my understanding, though, from reading other articles...that the only reason Denmark is doing this is because of their allegedly high vaxxed rate (82%). Ditto Sweden. So ...ok, whatever. Damage already done, for the most part.
Elon Musk is a maniacal douchebag. Just sayin'

My maternal Danish ancestors would be proud. If I had time, I’d whip up some Æbleskiver in celebration.
I’m curious if anyone who knows Danish cuisine has ever heard of Finca? My great-grandmother used to get a hankering for this Danish delicacy about once a year. It was an all-day ordeal and likely involved pork guts. The “stink was awesome” and filled the entire neighborhood, my grandma said. All the kids ran out of the house yelling, “Finca!” to escape the stench and stayed as far away as possible until the cooking was over.
This little ripple in a pond is turning into a veritable, and wholly "Unacceptable" (thanks Blackface Trudope) tsunami. Keep on Truckin'!
They did this once before and brought back the restrictions weeks later, so I'm not TOO hopeful.
Don't forget they led the charge last year too.

Cannot wait to spend top tourist $$$ visiting!! Go Sweden! Go Denmark!
Sweden is pushing vaxx passports though! That's odd.
My understanding is that an election put some loonies in charge, and that's when the vaccine passports came into play. Sad.
We have elections this year, last time was in sep 2018. What happened fall of 2021 was that the prime minister and leader of the ruling socialist party resigned, being more despised and ridiculed than Canada's Trudeau, thus necessatating the riksdag (parliament) to approve of his successor as prime minister (this is very simplified, it was a whole passle of a hassle of technicalities even the nonpartisan speakers had trouble straightening out.
The business with vaccine passes is... weird. The enforcement is completely arbitrary it seems, and most people and places seem to just shrug and make token efforts to be seen as complying. It's especially obvious in the migrant ghettoes since the police have to walk on tiptoes there, both because of the migrant gangs who are armed with AK-47s and hand grenades, and the liberal media who is armed with politicians and the "Racist!"-branding iron. Ain't no quicker way to end your career than being called racist by someone connected politically, facts not withstanding.
"rationalnuggets" comment on this country being schizofrenic is sadly spot on.
Thank you for the correction and the background. I appreciate it.
he should tour the ports of the North coast in his TampaBay-buccaneer-longboat. Carrying out raids, ripping masks of karens, and pillaging stores of vaccines and dumping them in the ocean.
You have to be kidding me. Going along with 75% of the stalanist tactics rather than embracing them whole-heartedly is not praise-worthy. Yes others were worse but so what?
Good for the JCVI, they are apparently somewhat less corrupt than the FDA and CDC, but lets keep things in perspective.
