Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 74

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: approaching the endgame?
These folks are the fundamentalists, the most devout followers of the Religion of Progress. To these people, the call to get vaccinated was a test of their faith, a sacred command issued from all of the highest and most respected sources. They passed and the refusers failed, and it is simply inconceivable that any fellow believer in Progress might refuse for any reason. To me this is somewhat akin to the statements of people who would gladly die for their country or for their God. The sacred sources say that their moral duty is to take this vaccine to end what their religion tells them is a Deadly Plague That Must Be Stopped, and so they will do it out of the same sort of love that led the Crusaders to decimate the Muslim world, or the Japanese kamikaze pilots to crash headlong into enemy ships.
These people will never change their minds until they change their religion. For the sake of our society I hope they are a relatively small minority.

Confucianism places strong emphasis on deference to authorities, and it also says that a corrupt official is worse than a tiger in a village, acknowledging the risk.
I'm pretty sure the globalists pushing the vaccines on the world knew that good old Japan could get its citizens to roll up their sleeves merely by appealing to authority and telling everyone that this was their duty, and that is exactly what the ad campaigns did.
Despite knowing that the vaccines were at best experimental, my husband and his brother went out and got them because it was their duty. They forgive me for not joining them, because as a foreigner, they know I "just don't get it."
My husband experienced reduced immune function after two shots and refused any further. Everyone I know who has stopped trusting the authorities has no fear of telling everyone they meet about it. I think one or two friends have rejected my husband over this (one a massage therapist), but their reaction is not hysterical.
Meanwhile, our dwindling little branch of the Fuji Faith is set to disappear, as the mostly older members have more and more health issues (cancer, strokes, arthritis), and the sect's leader (early 60s I think) contacted me today saying he no longer has the capacity to lead us. I hope that we can arrange a merger with the other remaining branch. And I hope they are okay.
Really, it is depressing to see the demons take such a toll.
