Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 96

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.

Date: 2023-06-07 11:06 am (UTC)I can't say this is an oasis from the insanity because nowadays nobody wants to talk about matters...the insanity seem sto have largely died down. Though it seems like a lot more people have droopy eyelids than they used to. Beyond that, it's like discussion of COVID has dried up. I'd say it all felt like a bad dream but it's still ongoing as a background concern.
I'll be reading this and scrolling through every comment until it goes away. And it's infinitely better than the comment sections on substack...which are in turn better than the comments anywhere else.

Date: 2023-06-08 07:51 am (UTC)They talk about friends being sick in strange ways and some dying, but don't want to talk about COVID and the vax. Probably because to seriously consider that issue runs the risk of collapsing their 'reality' and to the realisation they may have screwed themselves. It's a big leap from trusting in the medical system and government to seeing it as a major threat to your wellbeing.
The way things are looking the situation in Ukraine could irretrievably collapse the Western narrative for that fairly soon - "reality intrudes" and perhaps that collapse ripples on to the COVID narrative.
In the same way the jab had no therapeutic value and only injured and killed people, economic sanctions and the futile military efforts of the Collective West have only hastened their own demise.
It also looks like that we might have passed peak woke viz. Bud Lite and Target and people are speaking up about the insanity of drag queen story hour, trans men athletes competing against women etc.
In other words you have to be a dedicated Woke Delusionista to carry on supporting the various official narratives.
I was interested to hear JMG talk about men's rights on a podcast the other day. The blatant societal discrimination against men has pissed enough men off that there's a reaction there now too.
Definitely interesting times.
