The lack of engagement with your posts should tell you something. You’re the person at the party loudly telling everyone what you think and they’re just nodding and walking away, hoping it’s close to your bedtime.


If you keep taking those injections, can't be good.
how many are you planning on taking?
as many as the TV tells you too?
do you have any decision making in it or are you only listening to NPR and the TV?

“Vulnerable Democrats eye GOP transit mask repeal” 

<Axios>. “The chair of the House Democrats’ campaign arm and some of the vulnerable members he’s charged with re-electing are voicing support for a Republican-led mask mandate repeal bill….’I’m completely over mask mandates,’ Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney (D-N.Y.), who chairs the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, told Axios. ‘I don’t think they make any sense anymore. I’m for whatever gets rid of mask mandates as quickly as possible.’ ‘I think you’re safer on an airplane than you are in a restaurant or at the gym, so I don’t know why we’re wearing masks in the air.’ … The White House has threatened to veto the resolution, and there’s nowhere near the level of support in either chamber for a veto override.”

Ivermectin: The acupuncture of COVID-19 treatments
As high-quality evidence increasingly and resoundingly shows that ivermectin does not work against COVID-19, advocates are doing what acupuncture advocates do: Turning to lower quality “positive” studies to claim incorrectly that their favorite ineffective treatment actually does “work”.

And I want to know more about what you believe. My question was: to what end? What is this "conditioning and control" - your words - going to achieve? How will people lose their "control."

Please be clear, so that we can all understand. You bothered to assert this, and you should be able to make your case easily if this is something you really believe.

Ok, I will respond to that but - 2 things - it will take some time to put my thoughts in order, and I'm at work. Producing tangible things.  I will post this evening.

I never said that I didn't wear a mask in a place that requires it.  I'm asking how can they be effective in confined places when people remove them to eat. Please explain how that works.

Now, why do you think that wearing a mask during a pandemic that has killed millions will take away your freedom? As you say, don't dodge this straightforward question that you've clearly thought about at length.

In which Bavarian Public Radio realises Ukrainians are uninterested in vaccination, and wary of the vaccinators

eugyppius
Mar 21599211
Ukrainian refugees in Nürnberg.

Bayerischer Rundfunk (Bavarian Public Radio) notices that Ukrainian refugees are overwhelmingly unvaccinated:

Only about a third of Ukrainians have been vaccinated against Corona, in part with vaccines that are unapproved in the EU. The low vaccination rate could cause problems in the refugee centres. The city of Nürnberg, for example, has set up three gymnasiums to accommodate 600 people, where many must share a small space. …

Anyone who wants to can receive a vaccination a few hundred metres away ... free of charge for Ukrainian refugees.

“Unfortunately, we’re finding that the refugees aren’t exactly snatching the vaccines out of our hands,” says Nürnberg Mayor Marcus König.

“Many new arrivals are very worried about ‘forced vaccinations’,” adds Thomas Jung, Mayor of Fürth. He says you have to approach the topic with sensitivity. …

It’s been months of overt coercion to accept vaccination from politicians and the press here in the Federal Republic of Germany. Months of social exclusion and jeopardised careers and all the rest of it. Nobody has given the slightest thought to “sensitivity.” Why are they now at pains to accommodate the feelings of Ukrainians?

Jung explains that city officials pressed a Ukrainian doctor into service, to begin delicately preaching the Gospel of Vaccination to refugees last Friday. It’s rare, because the West is so totalising, but every now and then you get an idea of what it must be like to look into this funhouse from the outside. You flee a war-zone and end up sleeping on the floor of some repurposed gym, while the locals scheme madly about how to inject you with their latest mRNA tech.

Dear Ukrainians: You’re entirely right to be terrified of forced vaccination. We are too.
