Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 75

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.

We know that President Biden probably had a jab injury after his booster shot. If there was some kind of secret VIP saline conspiracy he would be at the top of the list.
I know it is difficult for folks to realise but the elites genuinely think the jabs are safe.
Now, there was a underground fake vaccine certificate industry, and I'm sure quite a few African Americans with a long history of fearing vaccines got it and probably some medical personnel who felt compelled to get jabbed but it was rare.

Date: 2023-01-14 11:12 pm (UTC)I remember reading several accounts from when covid fear was in high gear of people going to elite events and being surprised that they didn't seem to care much about covid at all. This was often in the context of conspiratorial speculations but I think there's another explanation that's the most plausible to me. Elites themselves tend to be more bold as opposed to the PMC which is encouraged to be meek and submissive. Also, elites think they're insulated from the problems of the common people, so they could both believe the narrative that covid is a huge threat to the world that authoritarian action is the only way to solve, but also not be too worried about catching it themselves, after all they can pay for what they consider to be the best medical care in the world. Thus, I doubt too many of them are worried about being around closeted unvaccinated of their own class, but public dissention is unacceptable because their power depends on the narrative, and they're much more worried about losing power and status than about catching covid.
