Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 96

absurdities and atrocitiesAs 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 uselessness 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, religions, 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 had a self-waterboarder at my local pool as well. His solution to go on keeping his cognitive dissonance at bay was to simply let his mask slip down to his chin, so that his mouth was uncovered and he could breathe. "But I'm still wearing my mask!" Yes, Dear, technically I guess that would be true. Maybe next time for variety's sake you could try wearing it on your kneecap or perhaps as a codpiece.

I was hoping that we had managed to get past all of that truly demented behavior, but this winter an older fellow came to the pool and announced that he had suddenly realized that the pool was the only place he did not wear nitrile gloves while out in public. We then had to watch his blue hands splash their way up and down the pool for twenty minutes until he finally took the ridiculous things off. That happened this winter, as in 2023!

Some people got permanently traumatized by the mass hysteria and will end up carrying their PTSD with them to their graves. They will never be able to move on from the spot where they made their inspired last stand and fanatically tried to kill the Changer. Something unrecoverable inside of themselves died instead — that's a pretty bad oopsie, if you ask me.

Thanks so so much for all the laughs you have provided over all these weeks Christophe. It has been a really important balancing influence to all the concerning craziness.

Thanks, Jez. I just figure, if we can't laugh about life and death, we must be doing it wrong.

If there's anything worthwhile that we can learn from the siege of Troy, it's that gods always have themselves a rollicking good time whenever we wage another futile war. Can you imagine their gaping incredulity when we started wearing masks in the vain hope of blocking a respiratory virus? We may actually be able to inspire a few of them to go all supernova if we keep behaving this hysterically! Alas, here on earth, we'll only become aware of their thunderous ovations six hundred billion years hence. Still, it's the thought that counts.
