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: 2023-06-13 07:58 am (UTC)I didn't have a lot of faith left in TPTB after the last round of big fires here in Oz - our PM seized the opportunity to flee, sorry, to go on "holiday" and evacuate himself and his family to Fiji, while the whole damned continent burned and much of the citizenry gagged on smoke or had it even worse.
Sure, I had little faith left in TPTB anyway after 'claims' of WMD in Iraq, not to mention all the rest of the lies, dissembling, and manipulations that preceded or followed it on every conceivable issue. But even after all that, covidworld, and a particular issue to do with Afghanistan that I won't go into, proved that they were capable of falling even lower in my esteem - I guess some things just have to be experienced to be appreciated. . .
These days I reckon that TPTB are utterly unfit for the job right across the whole of the western world - they're completely untrustworthy, and totally lacking the necessary character, competence, and intelligence for the positions that they hold.
They certainly do NOT deserve anyone's respect, let alone obedience, and I don't blame anyone for thinking the worst of them, because they've demonstrated time, after time, and time again, that that's exactly what to expect.
Anyway, enough ranting from me - I'm sure I'm not telling anyone anything new.
Good luck on your land Coyote Girl, may you stay safe, and long enjoy it.
