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.

I'm living my life right now. That said, I still do a lot of backing away slowly from the crazy people... and I expect that will continue forever more...

So today I was in my grocery store and there were 3 cashier lanes open. Two cashiers masked. I picked the unmasked cashier. Friendly guy.

Earlier today I was in a shop and one of the two owners said to me, oh I am so sorry I have the sniffles but really, it's just an allergy.

I said, no worries, I don't mind about that.

She said, Really, it's just an allergy.

I said, Really, I don't mind about that. I don't live in that world.

The other owner piped up: Me neither!

The city I'm in is blue but small and surrounded by flyover country. Lots of covidian mask-wearers, but whatever, as long as they're not telling me what to put on my face, I don't care what they put on theirs. I aim to be kind and polite but when I can, I steer clear of the masked people. I figure, chances are, they're crazy, or else they're sick.

Crazy or sick-- or just ignorant. They think masks work.

I just withdrew my involvement from an event due to 'recommendations' re masks that included a bossy phrase in the 'recommendation.'
When I withdrew my participation I was surprised to hear a (false) explanation of what was 'really meant.'
I wasn't interested in pursuing the 'proof in the pudding' and let the false explanation stand but did not change my mind.

NHK (Japan national broadcaster) has a program after the 7 pm news called Current Issue Close Up. Last night the issue was masks and GLORY BE the agitprop (it is a national broadcaster) sided with the solution being individual choice, even in offices!
