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. 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.
Masks
Date: 2022-11-09 02:03 am (UTC)These people still cling to the belief that if only everyone wore a mask everything would be fine. Is there some sort of magic effect of the masks that creates a hold over certain people to believe that masks will solve all the worlds problems?
Re: Masks
Date: 2022-11-09 03:01 am (UTC)I usually try to caveat, maybe in a perfect world where everyone is given N95s, was properly fitted, and changed them as needed. But nope, they just ignore any studies, our own outcomes, and repeat the lines "masks reduce spread".
Was just suspended from a subreddit today for trying to explain and was told to stop spreading misinformation...many comments said that in fact so lots of time to go until people let go of this one if ever.
Today I was walking outside on a nice trail in a creek near my home, a women walked by wearing a mask...it's so confusing.

#2 - very possibly a hypochondriac
#3 - definitely, dangerously ignorant
About #3 --
Why ignorant? Because masks do not work, this has been established in multiple studies and, more to the point, as plainly stated by a licensed industrial hygienist in his testimony to a state legislature, viruses are smaller than asbestos particles, and for asbestos particles, masks do not work-- he would lose his license to even suggest such a thing!
See Stephen Petty:

and continued, more about masks (see below)

Why is this dangerous? Because if a person believes masks work, chances are they'll also believe a lot of other harmful nonsense, for example, that we need lockdowns, social distancing, vaxx requirements and mandates, and whatever else the nice people on TV and the whoring shills in the MSM tell them is "goodthink."

Not only are they not breathing very well in those nasty things, but anyone who gets angry at you for spreading "misinformation" about masks-- when there is a Himalaya of evidence that the masks do not work, for anyone who cares to look at it-- has probably already had 3- 4 mRNA NLP-laden shots already, plus the 8 mouse special.
It breaks my heart, but they've chosen their path.

Thank you.
