Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 70

[ecosophia]

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.

In the flu epidemic a century ago there were efforts to get everyone to mask in public, and also people who objected. People may have been inclined to avoid crowded restaurants and theaters, but yeah, they had to keep going to work. That will have contributed to spread, of course, which may have gotten the whole thing over faster....

If you read the newspapers of the time, it tells a very different story. In Pennsylvania for instance because the coal and steel was needed for the war effort, the government forced people to go to work even when they were ill. People were dropping dead everywhere, including children, and the solution was they set up FEMA type camps with giant tents.

Oh and they increased immigration because they needed more workers.

The "they worse masks then" was complete and totally made up based on a few pictures and a couple of situations in California I believe.

I didn't say everyone wore masks - but some did believe it would slow spread, and so wore them and tried to get others to do so. Things that are seen in historical photos generally are not "completely and totally" made up. It probably had no effect; they would have been using cloth masks with large holes or gaps, and the flu virus is small. But people often do things to attempt to protect against illness that have no effect.
