I think “our side” – generally speaking – ought to be careful not to fall into the trap the other side did, of buying into hysteria. Whatever the jabs did, they have not caused the predicted mass deaths. Just the same as “COVID” didn’t – notwithstanding the endless barrage of “coverage” of “the cases! the cases”! – if anyone remembers.
I remember driving around my area and specifically, doing drive-bys of the local regional hospital during the high-tide of what was marketed as “the pandemic” to see for myself whether there were overflowing morgue trucks and dead bodies stacking up like cordwood in the streets. I saw nothing of the sort.
Proof of the lie.
Well, here we go again. Only now – five years later – it is “our side” that is falling into the same species of hysteria notwithstanding the absence of any evidence that people who’ve been “vaccinated” are dying en masse. You may remember predictions supposedly made by something called the Deagle Report that by 2025 something like half or even two-thirds of the population of the United States would be dead. Well, were approaching halfway through 2025 and this has not happened. Or even close. Does it remind anyone of the predicted Black Death rates from “COVID” – especially if you didn’t “mask up”?
It ought to.
Unfortunately, for many people, it doesn’t.
This tells us that it’s not just people on the other side who are vulnerable to mass hysteria. It is people. Some of this may be due to the fact that we live in an idealogical rather than a rational age, meaning people go with what they want to believe because it conforms with their beliefs. The “COVID” weirdoes – the ardent “masker” types – seemed to enjoy playing their part. Their beliefs gave them a kind of comfort. They did not understand they were being played.
Is our side being similarly played?
I remember, in early 2020, thinking (the italics are important) that what we were being heavily pressured to believe was almost certainly bullshit. A “virus” so deadly that people had to be kept from shopping at small retailers but no worries about shopping at Wal-Mart. So serious a pubic health crisis that everyone had to wear a “mask” – but a dirty old bandana over your face qualified. You had to wear one to walk to the table at a restaurant but could take it off when the food arrived.
Do you take me entirely for a wig, sir? So said the Marquis of Montrose in Rob Roy.
Maybe we ought to so say also.
Certainly, it is possible the “vaccines” were – as some allege – a “bioweapon” of some kind that was engineered to destroy people’s immune systems, accelerate cancer, sterilize people and “alter” their DNA. Those are among the allegations made and maybe there’s some truth to it. Just as there appears to have been some truth to “COVID” in that there appeared to be a bug on the loose that was making people sick; then again, there is pretty much always a bug on the loose that can make people sick. The common cold. The flu. Either can develop into pneumonia, particularly in people who are weakened by infirmity, old age and/or pre-existing serious medical conditions.
There is truth in that.
The other side took that truth and ran with it, insisting that because people get could sick, everyone was at risk of dying. Our side recognized the other side was in thrall to hysteria, that they were in the grip of a belief that did not correlate with the facts. This hysteria lingers, even to this day. One can literally see it on the faces of the people who are still “masking up.”
This in spite of the fact that they ought to be able to see the bodies are not and never were stacking up like cordwood.
At some point, our side ought to see the same – and draw the appropriate conclusions. otherwise, our side isn’t fundamentally different from the other side, is it?
