Pandemic of Willful Ignorance

Lack of Critical Thought and

Willingness to Engage Sociopathy

Thank you for so eloquently pointing out with that which STILL needs to be said again and activity / actors that must be pilloried today and in the future

I should look through Paul Alexander's 100 Horseman+ of the Covid Apocalypse and see his list of those responsible. A lot of public officials should be held accountable simply for not standing up against it. Here in Georgia, Kemp was talking out of both sides of his mask when he didn't endorse a state mask mandate, but did a tour of Georgia showing correct face mask etiquette. He both re-opened early and hamstrung a lot of businesses with Covid restrictions.

There should be a Covid card game highlighting the different "bad actors."

Hedging their bets both (bothered) ways

There but for the grace of God go we?

I say the same.

I call it the covidiocy.... and it certainly was a propagandemic

Jimmy Gleeson's avatar

That's a great name for it as well. It is mind-numbing how people can walk to a restaurant table wearing a mask and eating without one. There is no logical reason for it at all. I could not do it.

and driving alone with a mask and faceshield...

I get to see this at least 17 times a day. The mask anyone, not the face shield. The former I see about once a month. Less frequent but more entertaining.

Jimmy Gleeson's avatar

Where are you that you still have to see this 17 times a day?

Jimmy Gleeson's avatar

Make it make sense!

I may have said but I went to the restaurant with my sister, father and wife. I refused to wear as mask to go 20 yards so went in the toilet rear lobby. If you will excuse me, but bloody bonkers and this was my family who I thought were intelligent!

Jimmy Gleeson's avatar

I think your family are intelligent, but they are also indoctrinated.

Baldmichael's avatar

They are indeed. My dad was in the Royal Navy so presumably had some vaccines in his career although I have not asked. He would have been used to authority and taking orders so this would explain some of it.

My sister did arts history and Italian and got a double first an uni followed by a working life in the arts.

They are both practical but in the end their backgrounds failed them for the biggest test of their lives. It is very sad.

It seems to me that for those who discarded their TVs some time ago, that may have saved their lives. Oh, so much to say. I can hardly believe it all happened, and it's been so many years and so many people are still deluded about it all. Many of the people I know who took the cooties juice are dead and the rest of them now have chronic health conditions, usually cardiac or neurological. And lots of cancers.

My personal experience of having had covid in '22 is that it was a real thing, distinct in some ways from the flu (it had an electrical kind of vibe, very weird), but treating it wasn't rocket science and the recovery process wasn't substantially different than for the common flu. What killed most of the people who died from whatever it was when they went into the hospital in respiratory distress were the hospital covid protocols with unnecessary ventilators, sedatives, remdesivir, starvation, dehydration, general neglect, and above all, the patient not having been tested and then treated for bacterial pneumonia. And of course I know you know, who doesn't, that hospitals were labeling fatal motorocycle accidents and end-of-life dementia and such "covid" for the government money.

Junk info, like junk food, really can kill a person.

I don't doubt the vibe you experienced, but this too, is not unusual for a cold. Neither is loss of taste or smell, or low oxygen, or any of the symptoms that are supposed to be "novel." What is novel is attention to detail or the focus on it. If I detailed how each of my sicknesses "felt" throughout my life, I would no doubt find something different with each one.

And yes, the horrible protocols killed way too many. And the mis-coding of different chronic conditions with a false PCR positive made it seem far worse than it actually was. Take away the mis-coded deaths, the designer drugs, sedation, and ventilation, and what you have is a way over-hyped cold. I don't even doubt there was "gain of function" going on. Two truths can be true at the same time. They did what they thought was gain-of-function on a virus in Wuhan. And yet the illness was not novel or dangerous at all. These are the same people who told us that the "vaccine" was safe, effective, and stopped transmission.

And anyone who doesn't think that propaganda can't kill a person, just ask someone with a lot of stress in their life who develop ulcers and other issues.

Hi Jimmy— What I experienced with covid, or what I took to be covid, something sort of electrical, was really unusual for me, nothing like anything I'd ever experienced before. It was what it was. However, I agree with you on everything else you say here, especially about the hyperfocus.

Jimmy Gleeson's avatar

I am not doubting your experience, it's just that it's not unusual for a cold that have that kind of symptom. Similar to people who have lost smell and taste. I had that experience myself in 2020. It was unusual, but if you check symptoms of colds and flus before 2020, loss of smell, taste, and, and as you described, an "electric vibe" is not unusual for colds and flus, even as it was unusual for you.

My friend, who went to the ICU for pneumonia, no doubt thought this was very unusual for him. But bacterial pneumonia that develops from a cold also is not unusual overall.

The one thing that was unusual was the fear and panic propaganda of 2020 and the draconian, arbitrary, and capricious policies that arose around it.

Denis Racourt, one of the early dissenters of Covid says all you really need to look at is overall excess mortality, and there wasn't any in 2020. There was some modest added deaths, but they can be attributed not to a disease, but the things we did in 2020, like the isolation, designer drug, sedation, and ventilation protocols introduced.

I need to read the full essay he wrote, but it was handled in "There was no pandemic," which sounds very much like something Morpheus would say in a Matrix sequel.

First of all, you should be paid for your efforts. Second, I have often thought about Invasion of the Body Snatchers over the past five years, especially the 1978 version with Donald Sutherland. At the end of the movie, he has become one of them and points and makes a guttural sound. This is how I had often been dealt with as I roamed the streets maskless. Perhaps Invasion of the Body Snatchers was a documentary.

The good thing about all of us is that I have countless people to make fun of. The screening process is also so much easier. If I am ever in the position to offer someone a job, I am sure some the candidates will be wearing the con on their faces. I will simply say, "Thank you for coming. However, I cannot hire you. You show no signs of independent thought." The sad thing is that my words would never register.

Jimmy Gleeson's avatar

Thank you for your kind words.

I think the original "Invasion Of The Body Snatchers" was written during the advent of the Cold War and was an indictment of communism and how individualism was supplanted by soulless collectivism. And this was something many of us experienced during COVID. People we thought we knew were captured, and many of them all repeated the same tired mantras and catch-phrases. "Follow the science. "Fifteen days to slow or stop the spread," and "We are all in this together."

Guy Incognito's avatar

And many of those who followed the mantra are no longer with us. Propaganda is one hell of a drug. It affects others more than some. Unfortunately, I am in a culture where independent thought is not considered a virtue. On a long enough time line, culture becomes DNA and DNA does not change so easily.

What happened was all the films rolled into one as though they were all released at once in the minds of the masses.

Your father would not have lived longer, if he followed the advice of those pushing the panic. The date of his passing may have been pushed back but his life would have ended when he stopped living it and hid from the dangers of life.

Jimmy Gleeson's avatar

Could not have said it better than that.

Dee Dee's avatar

I cannot believe how many people still "believe" it or pretend to...the denial is insane.

Guy Incognito's avatar

Yes. The denial. Insane. But I am sure they think I am insane for not believing it.
