Another great article Matt----the fact that Booker, Warren and all the rest say they are grateful to be vaccinated even though they got Covid shows how deeply indebted these sellouts are to their corporate masters....and not to the people they are supposed to be representing. That KFC thread was ridiculous...at one time doctors said cigarettes were healthy. For me any time money is involved greed will make the corporate masters say and do things without an ounce of integrity. And the fools that follow (I was one of them for a long time) are the ones who will suffer. Looking forward to more insightful content from you Matt.

What is highly disturbing is the willful stupidity on display in the quoted post. And my prejudice makes me read it as if every sentence ends on a raised tone, like a question.

Normal ignorance (such as my own concerning let's say how to write code) can be handled: either learn, at least so much that you realise how little you actually know, or enough to use it in your daily life. That way, your ignorance ceases to be a liability and a also ceases to be a defining character trait.

Because the person who wrote this, is a person who only sees symbols and labels: the listing of various vaccinations shows this clearly. The smallpox vaccine is one of the most tested and used vaccines, and the technique original behind it has a history dating centuries. That's a pretty solid foundation. The flu shot is modern, and is completely unnecessary for anyone not in a high risk group. You could say that those getting it anyway are the long term control group. And the mRNA-shots aren't vaccines at all, other than in a strictly lexical sense due to the legal definition having been changed just in time for the roll-out.

And the poor dear who wrote what you quoted? (S)he seems completely unable to understand this, and even worse seems unable to understand it should it be explained.

The mechanism behind it is simple to exploit: offer social rewards - virtuous labels - for being /more/ loyal than the peer group. This will drive the entire peer group to compete in being more and more loyal, dutiful and into fulfilling whatever is deemed the Right Way. Anyone who, like me, has been part of left wing and anarchist extremist movements (in the eighties - so I was a teenager, I got better) and have managed to get out alive (literally and metaphorically) knows the process.

A says something to the tune of "We should occupy an abandoned building as a protest!"

B says "Yeah! And create a commune in it, with shelter and a soup kitchen for everyone in need!"

C says "And we must make demands that people with too large apartments share!"

D "Yeah! If we were in charge, we could solve the housing crisis! Just assign space based on need, not greed!"

E "It's not like the rich ever worked for their money anyway! They should be forced to share and share alike! At gunpoint!"

And so on - you can replace the label with virtually any one such. The jargon will change but the underlying pattern of dehumanisation of The Enemy is the same.

Right now, The Virtuous are those who compete in demanding ever more extreme measures (contrast and compare "The war on Terror" in the early naughties if you like) and The Enemy are the "unvaxxxed". In two months, it may well be that the roles are reversed, but the person you quoted will also have reversed their position, without even realising it.

This is simply the way the majority of us are wired. We must, otherwise our unnaturally large social groups cannot function. It is futile to fight it head on - it must be handled as if it were water. Led where you want it and can make use of it. No one can change how another human is wired psychologically, except that person on their own accord and of their own will.

Not sure who wrote this, but I thoroughly enjoyed the response.

Im not vaccinated as I know what's in it. I know what's in botox, hot dogs and although I don't know what the spices are in KFC, I choose not to eat it because it's a pretty poor food choice.

I know how Ibuprofen works and pain mechanisms that can be addressed with appropriate foods and lifestyle choices, I know how to rehabilitate myself if I get injured. I place my own health in my own hands and not to the management of others.

I've taken time to understand how chemicals interact with my body, and how many of them, can disrupt hormones and bodily functions. I've read a substantial amount of research around EMF stress and how mobile phones and other technologies seem to alter many aspects of mammalian physiology, in fact the more research coming out on the subject, it seems clear that exposure should be kept to a minimum for optimal health.

As a child I was vaccinated for mumps, measles and polio and I have never had to be revaccinated with boosters as they have either worked, or my immune system is robust enough to mount a response to the billions of viruses and bacteria that my body is exposed to daily. My parents didn't trust the science, they just went along with suggestions.

In fact, no person should trust the science because invariably it has been shown to be incorrect time after time. Science is not a belief system, it's an accountability that's open to reinterpretation when clear problems arise (problems are arising but you won't see many in the news or the press that you commonly read). That doesn't happen when the science is biased and produced by the very people who are hiding key data points and exclude the science.

I'm choosing not to vaccinate, because:

• Does not prevent spread or severe disease.

• Has not made any difference to getting back to where we were.

• Makes no difference to my decision to hug friends or family.

• Covid could have been a memory if the policy was driven by science.

• We know it was gain of function and produced in a laboratory, and those responsible are not held accountable.

• There are many doctors and scientists pointing out how wrong we have been to use such a broad policy.

• It has caused selective pressure on the virus causing more mutations.

• I am extremely unlikely to be affected by, what is, a grossly over-inflated problem.
