I should think you're sick of a total disconnect from reality. People have died, people are still dying and in the UK 9 out of 10 patients in intensive care are the unvaccinated ! Nurses and Drs have more than enough to do without having to treat those who could have avoided getting sick.I'm not responding to anyone's responses to me so don't bother. I'm sick of us being so easily manipulated. I'm sick of the main narrative being the only acceptable one when it's cobbled together by the richest and most powerful.
This statement is an insult to the thousands and thousand of people who have lost family members, friends and colleagues to this dreadful virus. It manifestly, undeniably IS NOT A LARGELY MILD ILLNESS but I am happy for you that you have lived in a such a snugly insulated anarchist bubble you can afford these kinds of fantasies about how US politics decided the entire world got Covid.So I will stick with my original. Despite the unbelievably crazy and draconian corporate fascism we've been subjected to, the virus has taken the course it always would, being a largely mild illness for the vast majority.
I think the question is a little dubious because you don't get rid of a virus, you adapt to it. Anyway, it's becoming endemic now, as all viruses do, so hurrah, we don't need to be forced to take jabs whose clinical trials are actually being run in real time. Omicron comes, joy and laughter, till the next manipulation and biggest upwards transfer of wealth in history. Happy, happy, joy, joy.
I agree with all you say...you do not have to respond - fair enough. But read this perhaps?This is a class war using a virus as its shield. The levels of data manipulation that have occurred in this pandemic alone were enough to make me see we are being manipulated. Hospitals paid extra if a death is a covid one? Ill-fitted PCR diagnostics, shoving sticks up sick ppl's noses when they're in hospital dying of their longstanding disease? There are too many red flags.
Anyone who cared to look at what was accepted pandemic practice pre-corporate fascism in 2020 will note the decidedly less militaristic and blamey approach. It was to isolate the vulnerable and to let society go on as normally as possible. This is what we did. It's why we didn't lock down for SARS but only did so since the billionaires of Davos decreed it so.
All of this stuff is documented.
But people refuse to see it.
We will see all of this in clearer detail in the future. There's no end to the manipulation you can foist on ppl when you own the media and govts. Which can be patently seen in the way their backflips and side dodges have rolled out globally.
Ppl won't see it. I'm used to that. No, I'm not a Trumper. I'm an anarchist.
You can come to these conclusions with basic old-fashioned class analysis and an understanding of history.
So I will stick with my original. Despite the unbelievably crazy and draconian corporate fascism we've been subjected to, the virus has taken the course it always would, being a largely mild illness for the vast majority.
But tell that to sacrificial 5 year olds getting force jabbed for something they are not at risk of. The death cult of capitalism takes form and dwells amongs the most vulnerable.
I'm not responding to anyone's responses to me so don't bother. I'm sick of us being so easily manipulated. I'm sick of the main narrative being the only acceptable one when it's cobbled together by the richest and most powerful.
You have no right to answer in this way - nor are you the adjudicator of the science.This statement is an insult to the thousands and thousand of people who have lost family members, friends and colleagues to this dreadful virus.

Spreading misinformation about the vaccine costs lives.
Couching your insults in metaphorical language does not make your statements more true or your insults any more palatable.It's amazing that someone wearing quite cracked and mud covered glasses thinks that they see clearly.
All (adolescent) dramatic assertions were given without evidence to back them up....
which is the hallmark of conspiracy nuts,
And irrationality in general.
It's Open Space - Hilary's view, as I understand it, is to have some tolerance for lots of things here. Not infinite tolerance, though.why is this being given a thread? its only loosely connected to a Yi reading. I'm confused.

This thread wasn't started by anyone it was merely moved off an SR thread. See post 2, there's a link that takes you back to the original thread. Here it is again for clarityI am genuinely curious why people post this kind of stuff. I mean, did the original post even have a reference to anything to do with the Yi, or was it just a rant? Quickly skimming, I see that there are a few cases where people actually drag the Yi into it, but it really just seems like an excuse for the poster to express their beliefs.
Succinctly put.It's Open Space - Hilary's view, as I understand it, is to have some tolerance for lots of things here. Not infinite tolerance, though.
Also of course if rants are posted it's natural people want to reply and so this is a place they can reply and argue. It is partly what Open Space is for, a kind of overflow because often in the course of readings about politics or controversial subjects the discussion will veer off and then there's an option between stopping it, tantamount to saying 'don't' or moving it so people can continue if they want to
It's simple.something that tends to happen with politics, and of course conspiracy theories
(It's bizarre how much those two seem to overlap...)
There are plenty of people, highly qualified and highly respected ones - scientists, psychologists, economists, historians, political analysts and others - who would strongly support many of the things mentioned in the original post. And they can and do provide strong irrefutable evidence to support them.
But to attack the original post by labeling it 'anti-vax opinion' when not one word mentioned vaccines at all is the first telling indictment of just how narrow-minded intolerance typified the reaction to someone expressing views the moderator did not like.
I have retitled the thread as 'Anti vax opinion' as that is what it is. If you prefer another title let us know so we can change it.
So I have no right to answer but then you sayYou have no right to answer in this way - nor are you the adjudicator of the science.
But you've just said I had no right to answer.We should accept and respect each other's freedom to articulate these different interpretations.
And none of them can account for the actual overflowing wards where real people do real work. There is no 'irrefutable evidence' of anything at all.There are plenty of people, highly qualified and highly respected ones - scientists, psychologists, economists, historians, political analysts and others - who would strongly support many of the things mentioned in the original post. And they can and do provide strong irrefutable evidence to support them.
I find it insulting in a sense that in a global pandemic affecting the entire world you think it's all about the USA and it's politics.The labeling of it as conspiracy theory is a tactical response first developed by the CIA. It is not an argument, it is nothing more than a patronising insult.
You have no right to answer in this way - nor are you the adjudicator of the science.
Okay, sure. I'm not expressing any disagreement with you here on this thread. Whether or not it's true, what do you hope to get out of posting it here? Do you see yourself opening people's eyes to the truth? Do you imagine that people who believe something different will change their minds because your logic is so persuasive? And then, they will ... what? And do you post similar posts on ... well, forums about cat food or drones or photographic equipment?Actually, there is plenty of evidence. The fact that we interpret things in different ways is something else entirely. We should accept and respect each other's freedom to articulate these different interpretations. Nobody is forcing you to agree to something another has said.

The labeling of it as conspiracy theory is a tactical response first developed by the CIA. It is not an argument, it is nothing more than a patronising insult. This is unacceptable in a forum such as this. Moderators should not act as thought-police.
As an aside. It is quite surprising to find just how many of the things given this label have one by one actually come to pass or been proven to be true.
My response to the intolerance shown by the moderator and the commentators on this thread was and still is a deep sadness. I have no problems with you disagreeing. Far from it. But this kind of cancel behaviour should have no place in this forum.
And kindly have the politeness and decency to address me directly. Not through a third party.
I need only look to my two deceased coworkers (of twelve) , Jeff and Larry, to see it.I don't think we need to be scientists to see the impact of Covid do we.
No, I'm very clear about why I posted what I posted. I felt that the moderator and another individual acted completely inappropriately in a number of ways - against the spirit of an Open Forum and free speech and in a very prejudicial and dismissive way - and all of their subsequent responses and self-justifications have done nothing but reaffirm my opinion.Okay, sure. I'm not expressing any disagreement with you here on this thread. Whether or not it's true, what do you hope to get out of posting it here? Do you see yourself opening people's eyes to the truth?

And do you post similar posts on ... well, forums about cat food or drones or photographic equipment?
What's the game plan?
Or are you not at liberty to discuss this because ... you know. Walls have ears.
Bear in mind if you were being as silenced or as 'cancelled' as you think you are this thread wouldn't exist it would have been deleted. But it is still open and anyone can read SusieQ's and your opinion so I think the whole 'I have been cancelled' lament doesn't really add up
