The current hysteria about the unvaccinated (aka the “unclean”) is more shrill than the previous hysterias about super-spreaders and grandma killers. This time, the fear of the agoraphobic woke fascists is truly palpable. We hear ominous language from the Prime Minister of Canada, the Honorable Gauleiter Heinrich Trudeau: “Don't think you can get on a plane or train and put vaccinated people at risk” Of course, Herr Trudeau’s admiration of dictatorial methods is well known (“There's a level of admiration I actually have for China. Their basic dictatorship is actually allowing them to turn their economy around on a dime” - 2013)
Similarly, New Zealand dictator Jacinda Ardern proclaimed in May 2020 “We will be your single source of truth” But of course! We do not want the plebs to go looking for some nebulous truth, hidden in the steaming dung of “disinformation”. No need to exert yourselves, Comrades. We shall be your single source of truth. With Harry Truman, “the buck stops here”. With Jacinda, “the truth stops here”
Meanwhile over in the magic kingdom of Kangooria, Dan Andrews declares the 387th lockdown in his state of Victoria (because the previous ones have worked so flawlessly) “Go home and begin that lockdown. Don’t be out and about, because all you might be doing is spreading this virus” and “I would plead with all Victorians, please don’t be going and visiting family and friends, because you might well be contributing to the spread of this virus, and that won’t be good for your family and friends”
18 months on, dear friends and fellow sufferers. We can suffer through wars and pestilence and but’s proving impossible to suffer these fools, these wannabe Dear Leaders, gladly. Not on single arrow in their quiver has proven the least bit effective. The lockdowns? An economic and - more importantly - a societal disaster. Isolation, depression, panic, family breakdown, suicides, helplessness, despair. The omnipresent masks? Utterly useless. Ask yourself how effective your mask or your plastic shield would have been on Flanders Field in 1914 - 1918 against an enemy gas attack. While SarsCoV2 aerosols are admittedly far les concentrated than clouds of German sarin gas, their ability to penetrate your flimsy little piece of cloth is equally unimpeded. Any side-by-side comparison of states/countries will show that fully masked vs partially masked has made no difference. The vaccines? From where I stand, they seem to be losing their potency faster than Viagra after 6 hours. (not that I would have any personal experience with that, naturally) The debate that should be raging now - though the legacy media don’t seem to even be aware there IS a debate - is whether mass vaccination has been making things greatly worse.
Be that as it may - let’s remain hopeful that a sane group of scientists will appear on the scene who will be able to help us with these devilishly complex questions. On the other hand, the moronic conduct of our politicians is not devilishly complex. They’re eunuchs who take orders from their CCP indoctrinated “public health” mandarins. And so each and every one of us must ask him/herself how far to allow these incompetents lead us down the path to hygiene dictatorship. We’re almost there in many places, not quite in the United States. The way forward is for each and every one of us to take individual action - demonstrations are great, but persistent individual action speaks louder. Don’t take that flight. Don’t do that cruise. Don’t patronize the restaurant that demands proof of vaccination. In short, accept a painful, severely curtailed existence, knowing that the other side will eventually hurt a lot worse. When planes are taken out of service and a NYC - LAX flight costs 2K, when hospitals begin shutting down due to staff shortages, when a pound of chicken costs $40…the institutions will have to relent or face waves of uprisings not seen in centuries. But we must not relent. If you say, hey, what’s the harm, I deserve that Bermuda vacation. I’ll show them my vax pass, what’s the big deal? You are giving power to the despots and proving to them they are right in enslaving you.
