Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 70

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.
Re: Internet's Effect on Covid Response
Date: 2022-12-08 11:32 am (UTC)we've never had such an energy dependent society with so much money printing and so much communication. It struck the other day how creepy it was that the world was so in sync with the lockdowns and masks. And that the people who initiated them would want to exercise that power again. They are egoists so why wouldn't they?
But I thought about it some more and the one thing about our elite our rulers our upper crust these days is that they are almost universally adult children. Their boomer upbringing has they constantly whining and feeling like deserve more. These people had the chance to enact their full digital helltopia and they didn't pull it off. They also could have mandated vaccines for everyone in the US and they didn't. It wasn't the constitution stopping them or the courts either. It's like they can't focus long enough for world domination. I'm not ruling out magical intervention either. But basically these people who people hold up as evil overlords can't keep it up. They are impotent when they need to perform for the long term.
Huh that word impotence has a lot of power. Gonna use that more often.
