We are now into the fifth year of these open posts. When I first posted a tentative hypothesis on the course of the Covid phenomenon, I had no idea that discussion on the subject would still be necessary all these years later, much less that it would turn into so lively, complex, and troubling a conversation. Still, here we are. Crude death rates and other measures of collapsing public health remain anomalously high in many countries, but nobody in authority wants to talk about the inadequately tested experimental Covid injections that are the most likely cause; 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 and its government enablers are causing injury and death on a massive scale. 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 wholly owned 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 plan on making off topic comments, please go away. This is an open post for discussion of the Covid epidemic, the vaccines, drugs, policies, and other measures that supposedly treat it, and other topics directly relevant to those things. It is not a place for general discussion of unrelated topics. Nor is it a place to ask for medical advice; giving such advice, unless you're a licensed health care provider, legally counts as practicing medicine without a license and is a crime in the US. Don't even go there.
5. 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.
6. Please don't just post bare links without explanation. A sentence or two telling readers what's on the other side of the link is a reasonable courtesy, and if you don't include it, your attempted post will be deleted.
7. Please don't post LLM ("AI") generated text. This is a place for human beings to talk to other human beings, not for the regurgitation of machine-generated text. Also, please don't discuss large language models (the technology popularly and inaccurately called "artificial intelligence" these days) except as they bear directly on the Covid phenomenon. Here again, my finger is hovering over the delete button.
Please also note that nothing posted here should be construed as medical advice, which neither I nor the commentariat (excepting those who are licensed medical providers) are qualified to give. Please take your medical questions to the licensed professional provider of your choice.
With that said, the floor is open for discussion.

Date: 2026-02-24 05:02 pm (UTC)I wonder if this article is largely bluster, hyperbole and fearmongering - it speaks of shutting down more than 200 website domains, and it lists none of them. It also mentions six fatal overdoses, but doesn't specify from what, and gives no details - six unnamed people died from some unnamed drugs somewhere.
A little further down in mentions counterfeit pills (counterfeit of what?) made with fentanyl, which is the all-purpose drug bogeyman these days.
This may be intended to scare people away - vague undefined massive threats with no substance or follow-through.

Date: 2026-02-24 06:08 pm (UTC)I know someone who's been told to pass students because (pick one): their family made big donations / they student is critical to a sports team / if they fail the class they'll flunk out and that will hurt our numbers (often, specifically, DEAI numbers) / the parents will complain and transfer them and we'll lose tuition money.
Higher education is completely corrupt, on all levels.
Re: The meme
Date: 2026-02-24 06:31 pm (UTC)"riddled by corruption and graft" these days, but academic administration and governance in particular. No matter what, keep the grant monies flowing and the big donors happy. That's the Prime Directive here.
(I know of one undergraduate from one of the very wealthiest families in the US who finally was given her bachelor's degree after five years without having nearly completed the requirements for it. The administration was worried about keeping her family's donor money flowing.)

Date: 2026-02-24 08:55 pm (UTC)More generally, I've begun to wonder if the driving force behind the "AI" hype is simply that it's become necessary to prune the vast excess of managerial, professional, and bureaucratic personnel in today's society. It's not even that "AI" will take over from them -- most of the people in question don't actually do anything useful, but telling them that they're being replaced by computers is more acceptable in cultural terms than telling them that we can't afford millions of useless, unproductive cubicle jobs any more, to say nothing of incompetent "professionals" who have the salaries they do simply because they belong to the right class and greased the right palms.

Date: 2026-02-24 10:33 pm (UTC)In my last corporate job, I realized that the purpose of my being there was not actually to do anything. My purpose was to be a serf in the boss's little fiefdom, and increase his headcount in the competition he had going with the other bosses. It didn't seem to matter what I did, or whether I did anything at all, as long as I was there, filling up the room and making the boss feel important.
I suppose if an executive could hire a small army of "AI agents" or some such thing, it might accomplish the goal at a lower cost?

Date: 2026-02-25 01:48 am (UTC)We are seeing this in a lot of bloated silicon valley places where they blaming AI to trim people but their jobs aren't even being replaced with overseas workers - they are just gone. It is starting to spread to other areas that are over loaded with bloat.
In a lot of countries, government positions are still somewhat safe but with folks like Trump being echos of the future, they will be the next on the chopping block. Talking to people that work in government positions, at least 50% of them could go and things would probably improve as the dead weight is dropped and they are free to actually get stuff done.
