Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 29

[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 very high number of comments -- to understate the matter considerably! -- so I'm opening yet 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 plan on using rent-a-troll derailing or disruption tactics, please go away. I'm quite familiar with the standard tactics used by troll farms to disrupt online forums, and am ready, willing, and able -- and in fact quite eager -- to ban people permanently for engaging in them here. Oh, and I also lurk on other Covid-19 vaccine skeptic blogs, so I'm likely to notice when the same posts are showing up on more than one venue. 

4. 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, as Canadian officials launch a campaign of reprisals against citizens who supported a peaceful protest against government policy, and the words "died suddenly" become the favorite media euphemism of our time, the floor is open for discussion.

Well, whatever the next pandemic du jour may be, a few lessons learned--

1. An astounding number of people, whether elected, appointed, or self-appointed, will be thrilled at the opportunity to stomp on others human and civil rights(as far as they're concerned, you don't have rights, just "privileges," and they decide what those are for you)

2. An astounding number of people will be thrilled at the opportunity to stop leading their boring little lives and signal their virtue and status in Important Ways! And many will also be thrilled to join category 1! Relatedly, they reveal that they slept through high school biology, like, totally!

3. Big Pharma has some newfangled concoction to inject you with that makes their stockholders smile

4. Your doctor is more likely than not a spineless heartless zombiekins, but if you're in category 2, no worries, you won't notice

This list should be printed out and tacked to everyone's fridges and bulletin boards!

1] Check - I live in Canada so ask me why I know this!

2] Double Check! - Particularly true if they are liberal/left white women or Gay men. Not sure why but I live in a neighborhood full of them - in Canada (full disclosure I am a Gay White Man)

3] Triple Check - Because Capitalism!

4] What can I say? Invasion of the Body Snatchers - my doctor is someone/something else now.
