Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 65

the reason whyAs 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. Also, please don't drag in current quarrels about sex, race, religious, etc. No, I don't care if you disagree with that: my journal, my rules. 

With that said, the floor is open for discussion.

We'll see if this works, it's not a standard image format.

You have to use HTML tags, and I'm not sure it's possible if posting anonymously. Click on the little question mark next to "casual HTML" above the text entry box and it will show you the code to use.

Thank you for embedding that for me! Yeah, it’s typical Twitter meanness, but to me it’s both funny and justified.

I also think it’s meme-like because it encapsulates the whole bizarreness of the—what?— I guess the bizarreness of the mass-formation psychosis, as it’s been termed. I love how that one-liner just pops the attempted thought-stopping/gas-lighting like a bubble.

I wonder if this guy is so callous that he doesn't care about the gravity of her husbands situation or that he is so dense / brainwashed that he made this incredably stupid remark

Travis Real is the epitomy of why the forgiveness debate is pointless. He looks like a woke dope (pardon my biased assessment), is probably wearing Ukraine flag-themed undies, believes Putin elected Trump, oil is created by printing more money and the new bivalent booster is "really cool".

These guys are brainwashed, are going to stay brainwashed and are probably itching to do it all again as soon as the next thing comes along.

Build yourself a life without them. Why worry about what they think or do? They're NPCs (Non Player Characters) as the popular meme goes.

He looks like the sternly defiant characters down at the local gentrified bulk food store who bring their own containers (nothing wrong with that) and LOVE wearing the mummification mask ------ so much so I wonder if he even exists!

I still don't get how you got that meme in your post. Which particular HTML tag did you use?
