Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 6

[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 gargantuan (and increasing) 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.

I have noticed that a lot of lower paid wage workers seem to have cognitive decline and/or just don't care any more. Not sure if it has something to do with the vaccines.

Or maybe it's just a year and a half of being 'essential'. I've worked busing tables, in retail, as a delivery driver, on farms, and I've also worked in high tech positions. I can tell you from experience how much respect people get if they are hourly, and how politely they are treated by most other people. Maybe they are just tired.

Some of us have very repetitious or boring jobs. Also, if we're being forced to wear a mask while doing physical work and talking past the mask plus barriers plus loud background noise (such as cashier), we're probably not getting enough oxygen. I always have a headache and lightheadedness toward the end of my shift.

oh no, she was just super awesome, not lazy. She called me over to the returns/lottery ticket counter where they don't have the big binder to look stuff up, because I only had a few items, and we'd been chatting and joking, so she just declaring it my lucky day with a wink. Since she was behind the glass like she was counting it out in Vegas and all ;-)
