    Even that article had a couple of slight inconsistencies in it. But it was better than most.

    When I had it 4 months ago same thing never would have known I had except the wife made me test because we had one.

    Seen a big uptick in our area 2-3 weeks ago. Seems to be leveling off.

    You have no idea how many people go to an UCC or ER just to get “checked out”. That was well before covid.

    It's still everywhere here right now. Running through our department and my wife's work as well. Seems like a basic flu now although I have a lingering cough I can't seem to shake. Made working a fire last shift challenging as my lungs just aren't there yet.

    Probably had the flu twice in 20 years. Now I catch this crap every year. Pretty irritating considering I have been healthy and medication free my entire life.

    What you posted and what I was correcting was this:
    The New York Times writes an article that says neo-Nazis and white nationalists were among the protesters against covid lockdowns and mandates in Germany.
    So someone turns it into "the media said that everyone who opposed covid lockdowns and mandates is a neo-Nazi or white supremacist!"
    It's an unfortunately common tactic.

    I see, but I'm not focusing on one subgroup from Germany. If you want to gravitate to that nugget, then fine... But many very normal Americans suffered though this lockdown that was made by using the states and general government to enforce all kinds of Draconian demand though strict mandates.

    Do you remember hospitals denying non-emergency care for people that were NOT vaccinated? I remember. Do you remember nations denying any travel to their country if you were NOT vaccinated? I do.

    I saw people in Australia put in the internment camps for refusing the vaccine... I saw these things all lover the world and I knew this was coordinated, and it was deliberate done for total control of the populations of the world.

    That article touched on just a few things that I knew were more than "normal" protocols from this sort of thing. Doctor-patient confidentially suddenly didn't matter and governors were taking, valid tested and safe medications that actually cured Covid, from the drug stores... We had pharmacists denying certain medication sales like Ivermectin to people that had legal doctor prescriptions... like they were legally allowed to deny a doctor's prescription. WTF was that?

    Do you remember Dems like Charlie Crist suing DeSantis for not keeping Florida beaches locked down like the federal government demanded states do? I remember that happening like it was yesterday.

    Where did Charlie Crist think he had the lawful right to sue a sitting governor of Florida in federal court if this whole thing was not coordinated from and by the federal government? Biden's administration was behind all of that, and I remember these were his mandates.

    That article does not cover everything that happened to us during the PLANdemic, and I don't agree with everything in it being totally accurate, but it's a start to a dialogue.

    Simple question: Do you remember 350,000 covid deaths in the US in 2020 alone? Get a clue man.

    Speaking of neo-Nazis, I remember when it
    Excess deaths in 2020 can easily be explained without reference to fictitious pathogen.

    +213,000 more Americans died at home in 2020 than in 2019. Even the CDC acknowledged that no more than 10% of those deaths were caused by fictitious pathogen. People died at home, from treatable ailments, because they were afraid of catching fictitious pathogen.

    Drug overdose deaths were up.

    Homicides were up.

    Even auto fatalities were up.

    Grim takeaway: establishing panic as policy kills.

    Any of you experiencing chimptoms of Monkeypox ? Even if you aren’t, out of an abundance of caution, stay home. You may be an achimptomatic carrier.

    It is mind boggling we still have some here justifying the horrific response to covid this country had and continues to peddle by recommending a healthy person still take a shot for covid.

    Truly unbelievable. But it is the power of propaganda and the human mind. Thankfully we are down to less than 5% who are still controlled by it. Though it feels like more than that on this board...

    Just getting over my 2nd bout with Covid since 2020. This one was a bit worse. Delta was a common cold compared to this one but it's not like I had to be hospitalized. I had a mean headache for 2 days with fever this time. Coughing throughout the length and lots of mucus. Started on Friday and I'm walking around the house on Tuesday. My wife brought it back from a conference in Baltimore. Maybe the vaccine I took on March/April 2021 helped lessen the symptoms in Aug 2021. Who knows. Of all the vaccines I want to get this fall, it's still the ones for pneumonia and shingles I want most. Flu is like the Covid vaccine, it doesn't prevent the Flu but it lessens the severity.

    Prescient nearly 200 years prior …

    “But contemplating as I do, the baneful doctrine of contagion, as a most dreadful and destructive delusion, which tends to the establishment of the horrible quarantine laws, and leads to the violation of every duty of humanity." Dr. Robert Tytler, 1834
    From the book Can You Catch A Cold?

    Nearly five years on we see how the masses have been broken by gaslighting and relentless hammered in terror.

    Regardless age, standing or political stripe, Americans still believe that a positive test entails something like a cross between the plague and Andromeda Strain attacking their cells.
