Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 5

[ecosophia]

The semi-open posts  I've hosted here on the Covid-19 narrative, the inadequately tested experimental drugs for it, and the whole cascading mess surrounding them have continued to field a huge number of comments, so I'm opening another space for discussion. The rules are the same as before: 

1. If you plan on parroting the party line of the medical industry and its paid shills, please go away. This is a place for people to talk openly, honestly, and freely about their concerns that the party line in question is dangerously flawed and that actions being pushed by the medical industry et al. are causing injury and death. It is not a place for you to dismiss those concerns. Anyone who wants to hear the official story and the arguments in favor of it can find those on hundreds of thousands of websites.

2. If you plan on insisting that the current situation is the result of a deliberate plot by some villainous group of people or other, please go away. There are tens of thousands of websites currently rehashing various conspiracy theories about the Covid-19 outbreak and the vaccines. This is not one of them. What we're exploring is the likelihood that what's going on is the product of the same arrogance, incompetence, and corruption that the medical industry and its tame politicians have displayed so abundantly in recent decades. That possibility deserves a space of its own for discussion, and that's what we're doing here. 

3. If you don't believe in treating people with common courtesy, please go away. I have, and enforce, a strict courtesy policy on my blogs and online forums, and this is no exception. The sort of schoolyard bullying that takes place on so many other internet forums will get you deleted and banned here. No, I don't care if you disagree with that: my journal, my rules. 

With that said, the floor is open for discussion.

Today we drove by a house with a huge F[unDruidly word] BIDEN sign on the porch.

Methinks the Deplorables will not submit quietly.

Maybe we should put signs in our windows "Unvaxxed and Unashamed". However, I have a tendency to keep my head down, and prefer quieter ways of pushing back.

My divination for 2021 explicitly said "fly low, little bird" -- but the thing I keep thinking would be "yard-sign-able" would be "Unafraid" - thanks to Mark L's post/idea Coalition of the Unafraid, this strikes me as a very good attitude to own (even if I'm not actually going to put a sign up in my yard).

I'm glad somebody read that :-)

Yes, we very much need a Coalition of the Unafraid these days...

I've seen a few of those signs, but noticed an "Impeach Biden" sign for the first time while out on a motorcycle ride about the time he was giving his speech. Makes a nice contrast to the "Pritzger S**ks!" signs that decorate the landscape here in downstate Illinois.
