Assuming that these 2 or 3 jabs are the end of vaccinations for cold viruses is, in my humble opinion, a mistake!

Vaxx II - The Reckoning!

Coming to a dispensary near you in 2022!!

Part III in 2023, IV 2024, V 2025, for ever and ever... and probably for more than one virus too! They won't be happy until everyone is being jabbed on a monthly basis...

I might be wrong about this, but I would be genuinely shocked if I am!

Yeah.. fuck science and medicine. Can you believe those assholes try to give me a flu vaccine every year too?

Fuck that! I'm like, I took it once in 1994 and I'm good!

Hmmm... I like science (I am a highly qualified scientist myself) and medicine for the most part, although neither are perfect...

I just don't trust neoliberal criminal capitalist pedophile rapist shit bags who will do anything for profit!

Huge difference!!

Would be awesome to be able to separate the two, nice and clean like! Alas... we are where we are!

Curiously the Death Secretary has had his job offer pulled:


because... he oversaw the worst public health failure ever, and no matter how much the BBC try and fluff it, it's not just bad, it's the worst failure ever! Ever!!! Let that sink in!!! Incompetence doesn't even begin to cover the atrocious violations these people committed, how they are not in jail is beyond me!!!

Everywhere around here will accept a picture of your covid card, paired with your gov issued ID, and as long as the name matches, you're good.

We also have some phone app called the Excelsior Pass or some bullshit which does the same thing I believe

They'll also take your physical card of course, but for most people, its way more practical to pull up a pic of your card.

Everything is easy to fake these days.... and like so many of the mechanisms in place to handle the pandemic (certainly in the UK - BILLIONS dropped on the *unused* Nightingale Hospitals, utterly useless PPE contracts given to matey mates, the laughing stock track and trace failure, etc.) they are designed by fools, built by idiots and only used by the masses because they are being made to and will very quickly become utterly redundant!

I'm sure it is a much better idea to just assume the antivaxers are right and this as all a hoax, and just let 25 or 30% of the population die off. After all, we have too many people anyway in this world and a reduction of 30% or so should make our limited resources last longer. We can just hope that the ones who die are the takers, and the makers will do just fine. Right? Hope and prayers, that is what we have to offer and all we need. Fuck science...

At least you are just in a country that is fucked...

We're in a country ... where our leaders are desperately ... desperately ... trying to BECOME just like your fucked up country!

and somehow, they're even managing to fuck that up....

But America was fucked way before 2016. A game show host getting elected President is just a symptom of the rot. Not the cause.
I don't think anyone could have done to this country what Trump did but Trump. It took a particularly craven style of ugly that few people are capable of. Dragging the peripheral ugliness from the far right into the mainstream is not that easy to do, and Trump did it very well. Mean and ugly and hostile may be fairly common among his ilk, but the carnival barker skills that Trump has are not nearly as common, and I think that was a necessary part of fucking America in this way.

I'm not disagreeing with any of that. I just don't think that type of guy would ever get elected in a remotely healthy country.

I agree completely with that statement. Trump awakened something in us that many of us didn't think even existed. It has been a crushing revelation for me, a child of the 60s and 70s, when American life at least seemed to be moving in the right direction. Particularly for those of us who were able to avoid the draft. I'm quite certain many of us did not feel quite as blessed...

One of the reasons I thought Trump would lose in 2020......nobody really knew what he was capable of in 2016 but they knew in 2020.

There was a huge difference between the 2016 election and the 2020 election......In 2016 Trump was the proverbial box of chocolates. The public had no idea the true extent of what they were getting when they elected Trump in 2016. The public may have had suspicions but nothing concrete.

In 2020 the public knew exactly what they were getting so that energized both sides and unlike 2016 where the Dems were too confident, they came out big time, this time.

I am all for hearing both sides, for self-questioning, playing devils advocate, etc.

There's one big problem I see that seems to keep getting in the way, it's this "all or nothing" style of thinking.

If you vote for Trump then you automatically get tagged with a million other things... which may or may not be true.
If you support BLM, you automatically get tagged with a million other things... which may or may not be true.
If you express concern about anything to do with covid-19 you are automatically tagged with a million other things...

I am sure you get the idea...

The ideal outcome of this is that people take a step back and consider that we are all super complex creatures with our own internal reasoning, none of us are perfect, we all make mistakes, and that's okay!! We are also all valid and have a right to express our opinion and to live our lives, so long as we are not hurting anyone else.

I keep thinking that the vast majority of us all agree on the big ideas, like we all want to work and earn a decent living in a safe environment without let or hindrance... we would all like an education, we all want good quality healthcare that isn't being used as a pawn by those, who don't even use the public services, for their political games, we all want a cleaner healthier environment to live in, we all want good quality tasty food, etc etc..

We just all seem to be so easily led and deluded that the person wearing a different colour from us is somehow our enemy, when in actual fact we probably have more in common than that which divides us...

We are being played! And every time we 'tag' someone... we are letting the real enemy, the people in power who are abusing everyone for their own personal gains, win!
