All I know life is very short. I lived the last 20 months as normal as the government allowed.
I have a great doctor who prescribed supplements and ivermectin back in the beginning. I read articles and studies from around the world and determined this virus would not kill me and if I caught it I would to do quite well.
Therefore I lived a very healthy happy life during this pandemic and keeping my routine very normal.
I constantly found ways to exercise and be social as Newsom did everything in his power to keep me in my house and isolated. I have friends and family that have been terrified for the last 20 months. I feel so sorry for them.
How can this be healthy to live in constant fear of dying?
Proof the sad, elite haters of life, do not want this pandemic to end. I said this from day 1. I know this type. Misery around every corner. They thrive on it. Happiness is poison to them. Every day another crisis. I can tell you who nourished these miserable people. It started with Phil Donahue. He passed the baton to Oprah and she made a fortune pushing how life is unfair. She gave rise to Dr Phil who also made a fortune exploiting family misery. Who was their target? White, middle to upper class white women that are miserable and easily made to feel guilt.
Here is perfect example. Husband worked for big pharma. I was attending college and being a mom. We went to Xmas party. These folks were Ivy League educated. Many women. You, know…the pretty people living big in Chicago. So I got stuck chatting with all of them, fortunately I have many interests so easy to find things to talk about. I also was a stock trader while staying home. Anyway….with enough drinks in them the women admitted they hated their lot in life. They had children, no time for themselves. They still had all the chores, rearing children, and had to travel 75 percent of the time. Yes they were VPs. Very successful. Made fun of me that I stayed home because they could not stand to do that. They would feel like failures. Yup, said that. However very envious I had so many hobbies. I came away realizing successful women are extremely conflicted. They are looking for a perfect situation that does not exist. Education has not made them intelligent nor able to use critical thinking. They feel stuck. A family member of mine, extremely successful, good looking, well educated, kids, fancy life is miserable. It is all a pretend life. Lots of Facebook pictures. Real life very different.
Using the Twitter Nazi's argument....WHY ARE WE VACCINATING OUR YOUTH? The youth are healthier,right?!?! Pfizer is testing a 3 shot routine for infants and children. This insanity has to stop !! RESIST !!! SAVE OUR CHILDREN !!!!
I've noticed that many people who insist on prefacing their names with the abbreviation, "Dr." on Twitter, Facebook, and Christmas party invitations, etc... are the same caliber doctors as, let's say, Dr. Jill Biden.
If you had a highly sensitive test for even the mildest virus out there, you could create a pandemic out of it. Anyone in the population, without symptoms would be called a "case", anyone in the hospital for any reason but testing positive, would be called a hospitalization. And anyone dying of any reason that happened to test positive would be called a death. It's really amazing how easy it would be - to create a pandemic and virtually continue it forever. They can continue this charade forever.
A few thoughts on fragments I've gathered along the way:
-- Behavioral Immune System (a real thing). Rooted deeply in our evolutionary past. Responsible for a sub-rational response to people, creatures or spaces perceived by the lower brain as tainted or infectious. Extremely important to survival in a paleolithic environment. Not so clear-cut in 21st century. Many people experience the BIS as an irrational fear of such things as snakes or spiders. Such a fear was not irrational in the deep past (nor is it *always* irrational today, depending on where you live). Covid certainly seems to have tripped this mechanism in millions of people. No matter how brilliant, these people would quickly develop a severe -- almost physical -- reaction to the maskless or the unvaccinated. It completely bypasses the rational faculties, so you can't "talk them out of it" any more than you can talk someone out of a fear of spiders (though intensive therapy can diminish the worst phobias).
-- Wildly incorrect risk assessment. Many of you might remember the studies that were done in mid-2020. Throughout the UK and Europe thousands people were asked at random what percentage of the population of their country had already perished of covid. The typical answer was (IIRC) 15%. At the time this gut-level assessment of the risk was off by a factor of about 40,000%. Virtually everyone believed this. I expect most people still believe this. To the extent their actions are rational at all, they are absolutely appropriate if the risk was in fact that high. There has been absolutely no effort by any authority anywhere to correct this truly astonishing misapprehension by the public. Perhaps most authorities themselves believe this. (Fauci et al have no excuse).
-- Milgram experiment. This one is the most troubling to me. Again, many of you know about this experiment performed by Stanley Milgram at Yale in the early 1960s. In a nutshell, most people believe they'd have refused to e.g., go along with Nazism. In fact only about 1 in 5 people will refuse orders from a perceived authority figure, even if those orders involve inflicting extreme gratuitous pain on another human being. The experiment didn't (couldn't) say anything about why this is true, only that it is true. Millions of people right now are jabbing their own children with a potentially dangerous substance because people on TV ordered them to. It seems to me that somewhere around one if five of the people I know are even aware of what is happening.
-- Mimesis / Scapegoating. The French anthropologist Rene Girard did groundbreaking work in the late 20th century about these phenomena. Across all known societies at all known times humans have exhibited this behavior. Pent up frustration, fear and anger grows to a point where the mass of people collectively fixes suddenly upon a scapegoat (group or individual). The mimetic response produces a robotic, sub-rational collective surge in blood lust. The targeted group or person is vilified and harassed. The fever pitch surges up until the group/person is ritually killed. This dissipates the collective energy for a time, then the cycle repeats. This is seen everywhere -- Aztecs a frequent example. Nazi Germany another obvious one. The implications here are dark when we consider the treatment of "The Unvaccinated". The Christian religion served to break this pattern to a large extent -- certainly it has never been evident in a major way in the US before (well, witch burnings). As America moves away from Christianity, we move atavistically towards our more savage ancestors.
To the extent that we're dealing with deep sociobiological and psychological factors, I believe we can start to understand why so many of our normally sane friends and relatives seem to have been transformed into "zombies". I believe that the only real solution to this sort of thing -- now and in the past -- must transcend biology and even rationality entirely. This metaphysical plane we know as the divine. God. The solution must come from God (even among the atheists and the religiously indifferent).
Yet, once again those in power cry out in woeful harmony. Woe is we. Grimly, we hitch up our thread-bare britches, and dutifully don the hideous mask of submission, and shuffle back into the dens of virus stenched walls known as our homes. Be sure to segregate yourself from Granny. She is one of the weak ones that will succumb first. Her pathetic existence is of no concern, given the values of the spoils of victory.
Dr Neil(kneel) Ferguson just authored a study about omicron saying it is over 5x more transmissible than delta and the study also says there is no evidence that omicron is less dangerous contrary to data out of South Africa and the rest of the world. Yes, this is coming from the same Dr Ferguson that authored the study that was debunked and off by an order of magnitude on deaths that lead to lockdowns in the UK(and then the world) before he resigned after getting caught breaking lockdown and visiting his concubine. MSM will run with this study with every ounce of energy they have left…
We need to implement a grass roots strategy to stop this whole mess. What can we do? Stop testing, en masse. Refuse to test. Feel bad? Stay home. If you test and come up positive, they’ll just send you home with nothing anyway. So stop feeding the monster, stop testing and feeding their case stats. If we do this as a huge block, case stats will drop, and we’ve basically ended the pandemic. (Isn’t this what Obama/Biden did with H1N1? They stopped the testing, and it just went away.)
South Africa has a high rate of obesity. 68% in women and 31% in men. Poor nutrition as well, due to the high levels of unemployment and resultant poverty. No doubt this has come into play. Many people living in terrible conditions, cheek-by-jowl in one-roomed shacks. Covid hit hard and circulated swiftly. Lockdown was all but unimplementable for the majority. Ironically, this is now serving the country well, what with huge swathes of people having been exposed and now contributing to true herd immunity. The only ones who are petrified are the upper and upper middle classes (especially academia) who had the wherewithal to shelter in place. They are the ones who are also clamouring for the mandates and not giving a damn that others carried the can and should be thanked for the immunity contribution, not jabbed into submission. It's also not out of philanthropy for the most part, but out of fear. And vested business interests, like wanting to re-open tourism. And, of course, it is a glorious time for those of a tyrannical and self-righteous disposition.
I used to look at worldometer but then I read Dr. Atlas' book, A Plague upon our House and found out allot of these charts are wrong because they use data dumps to update. That means daily death counts are way off and include data from weeks ago, all reported on a single day. I highly recommend his book.
They are to the point of conflicting narratives. They can’t mandate a vaccine in young people and at the same time say that young people are unaffected. Only true idiots would believe both.
Facts and data do not matter. The narrative marches on unabated. We are tilting at windmills. It is right that we do so and necessary. However, I think in the end we will lose. Sadly, I write this. There is a power ready to roll over us. All this is staged and set. Watch. However I intend to crawl out of the rubble and survive. Maybe. At least I will try. No shot and I am as prepared as I know how. Self sufficient with some resiliency. The world will be a dramatically different place very soon. I just hope the idiots at the helm don't start nuking each other. That is the wild card. But the play is written and the end is foretold. Be the ones blinking at the light and dusting yourselves off ready to start anew when this is over. Pray. Plan. Prepare. RESIST.
The Omicron hysteria machine is working overtime. Just visit Drudge to see it in action. The powers that be are back to using models to project hyssteria, they are claiming that hospitals are overrun because they fired healthcare workers, people "vaxed" and boosted are getting Omicron or just regular Delta, and that is causing fear to run deep. And ofcouse, it is all fault of the un-vaxxed. People are nuts.

If I don't get Omicron for Christmas, I'll feel so left out. All the kids are getting it. Either that or an Xbox.
