Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 97

not the good guysAs 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.

One thing that really amazed me BEFORE all the Crow-vid lunacy was during our near-yearly trips to Ecnarf (my wife is French, and most of her family lives there) the folks there would be super-eager to ask about and disparage The Orange One, but when I’d ask about their upcoming Presidential elections they’d respond “Pffft, who cares…” as if presidential politics in the USA was FAR more important and consequential than the politics of their own country!

Really head-scratching. But if you postulate some sort of enchantment, it perhaps makes a bit more sense.

This is part of why I find it plausible that the Covid madness might be linked to whatever happened with that obsession over Trump: far too many people all over the world got very, very weird about it...

It’s like that here in Australia too, in that as soon as Trump was elected, that is all anyone wanted to ask me about (I’m an American expat). People here seemed to love Obama, but Trump was something else on an entirely new level and since then, Australian politics is irrelevant. There were protests on campus here about Roe v Wade being overturned, but people can’t even remember who the current Australian PM is.
