Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 64
As we proceed through the second year of these open posts, it's pretty clear that the official narrative is cracking as the toll of deaths and injuries from the Covid vaccines rises steadily and the vaccines themselves demonstrate their total uselesness at preventing Covid infection or transmission. It's still important to keep watch over the mis-, mal- and nonfeasance of our self-proclaimed health gruppenfuehrers, and the disastrous results of the Covid mania, but I think it's also time to begin thinking about what might be possible as the existing medical industry reels under the impact of its own self-inflicted injuries. So it's time for another open post. 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, the floor is open for discussion.
Re: fluffy thread
If Trump had won, and the pharmaceutical marketing teams still wanted to place their product effectively with the people in the ascendancy, they would have worked harder on the "law and order" fuzzy good of keeping viruses in their place, the "right to defend borders" fuzzy good of keeping those "illegal viruses" outside of our personal body-borders, and the "personal responsibility" fuzzy good of facing the fearful virus with courage and determination. Possibly even invoking the "fuzzy good" of calling the fox a "magic bullet". ;) That would have gone a long way to placing this particular product more successfully on the rightward end.
However, right now, the "longer ride" that the whole Tech scene wants - with digitally precise protein fabrication replacing livestock, digitally precise - and atmospherically "clean" - transport, the incorporation of digital tech into medicine, and pretty much every other current business plan, has hooked itself deeply into the "fuzzy good" of progress, and even though, to the likes of me, every bit of it sounds dystopian, if you thrill to the idea that humans can progress and become BETTER, as the key to general improvement of everything, then the tech version of progress can seamlessly key into your "fuzzy goods" in a way that it simply cannot do with people who hew to any kind of tradition, whether it is family tradition, religious tradition, or luddite larpers like me who simply take joy in using a scythe rather than a strimmer... :)
Believe me, I am seeing it gel before my eyes, and I am seeing lefties fall, again and again, for scapegoats presented to them, quintessentially, as "person who stands in the way of progress" (whatever that actually means).
