Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 102
As we near the end of 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.
Re: The Epiphany (A reflection thread on pandemic choices)
According to the MBTI, there are 16 personality types, which are different combinations of preferred cognitive functions. What you described above are people with either introverted intuition (pattern recognition) or introverted feeling (deeply personal value systems) as their dominant function.
The interesting thing about the MBTI is that the types are not equally distributed among the population. Types with dominant extraverted functions occur at a higher percentage than introverts, sensing is more prevalent than intuition, etc. Introverted intuition as the dominant function only turns up in about 3-5% of people, iirc. If you added up the numbers of people who have introverted intuition or introverted feeling as either their most or their second-most preferred function, I suspect you'd come pretty close to the percentage of jab-resisters.

I still think there is a connection, especially since so many of the appeals seem to focus on the different dominant functions: "Follow the science!" is such a Te-targeted slogan! "Save grandma! (Your grandma, everybody's grandma)" seems designed to trigger Fe. "Safe and effective (just a vaccination like all the other good vaccinations you had)" is made for Si. "You'll be allowed to travel again"? That's for all the Ne-dominants out there. "It's just a tiny prick" for the Se.
And the Ti, Fi and Ni are the conspiracy nuts, anti-vaxx deplorables. Good thing there are so few of them that we don't have to think up slogans for them, too.
