It's a tragedy, bro. Try to find a traditional bookstore in your area or close to your town and spend all your money there. If there isn't even one, open your own business. You'll attract all the people who are tired of this endless destructive bullshit and you will also eventually find friends.

Meh. Once you seriously start questioning all the media narrative it breaks down fairly easily. Does not mean that covid does not exist. People do not have pre-existing immunity against it, fairly simple.
The "hospitals overwhelmed" debate is one of the dumbest imho. Hospitals have always been overwhelmed during flu season, because they run tight budgets. But before that no one really cared or reported on it. Now it is all the rage. Social media is a scourge that has made all of this so much worse than it really is.

They have been free to stay at home and take their own precautions for over a year, and now they can even get vaccinated. Besides, I thought wearing masks and social distancing was good enough.

Your mindset is barbarism, "let only the strong survive" and denying the fundamental rights our society is built on.
If everyone were as careless as you, nothing would ever be done, doctors could just say "nah I'm taking vacation in the middle of this operation, doesn't hurt me", but they don't. People cannot live in a egoistic bubble like you do, everything would collapse into anarchy.
But you probably don't care, you swallowed the blue pill and think of life in terms of numbers, and your mind can only think as far as what's immediately in front of you. What you don't realize is that what's good for everyone else is also good for you, if you want to live in a civilized society.

Really, please do elaborate on that. I obeyed the mandates, and continue to do so. I wear a piece of thin cloth over my face while in public. I wash my hands regularly (more than can be said for much of the population). When I'm working at my job, which I'm allowed to do, I follow all the same guidelines. When I go to the store, I don't touch and slobber all over everything like a troglodyte. I'm not a fucking dickhead who goes around making a scene because I feel inconvenienced. Again, you are making up a strawman character in your head and attacking that. I'm making a choice regarding my own behavior not to take the vaccine until my employment or ability to participate in the economy is contingent on it, and then I'll go and get it because I'm not going to pretend I'm some overman revolutionary character. I simply want to have agency over what I put in my own body. My body, my choice.

definition of herd immunity was changed by the WHO in may 2020. it used to be if a number of the populace was infected (with or without knowing), they had antibodies, and eventually would protect other people. magically the definition changed 9 months ago to be "uhhhh ackshully you have to get the "vaccine" (which even officially doesn't protect you against getting infected, only against symptoms) to stop the spread in 15 - I mean, 500 days". the idea that 95% of the populace has to be injected with a experimental pathogen to survive a disease with a 99.98% survival rate for those with nonchronic conditions under the age of 50 is mindboggling. No, a thin layer of fabric does nothing to "stop the spread" - if anything it HINDERS herd immunity and prolongs the viral spread. But of course this isn't about the "science" - same reason protests in June-November 2020 were declared to "not spread the virus". It's about control and pacification and obedience.

I would take this seriously if this was an actual fatal disease like the Black Plague or Ebola or Polio and not a variant of the flu (probably a gain-of-function engineered one, but still). and no, it is not like SARS (though perhaps it was meant to be). I repeat, an experimental injection for a disease with a 99.98% survival rate is ridiculous. "but old people and obese people" - true. old people get sick and die. obesity is the greatest possible overall health risk. When the USA is about 76% overweight or obese, of course there will be consequences. But there are greater consequences to shutting down society, one, and two, the ethical implications of forced "Vaccination" vaccine passports etc for a phase 3 clinical trial drug with shoddy data of results (see 2020 EU astra zeneca approval data leaks)

How do you function in wider society when you can't trust anything? How do you know that the Facebook pages you follow are more correct then people who have spent their lives studying disease? If you can't trust government sources, who can you trust, it's not like you have the knowledge or resources to test any of the claims that anyone is making, both government claims and personal ones. It just doesn't make any sense especially since your retorts (and the retorts of people like you) ultimately come down to "well you can't medically prove with evidence that the virus is x way" as if you somehow can

They inevitably form more splinter groups. Something about paranoia or something, cults, that kind of shit. See what happened with ISIS, and Mormonism, and a lot of other examples such as the ufoligists they almost always fight amongst themselves eventually.

I once randomly hit a higher state of consciousness spontaneously
Language escaped me and I became a sensory and blissful experience

It was around Christmas and I was doing some shopping.
I noticed when I would look at products, it would pull me from this state.

I walked into a store. A woman there said "hi, welcome, my name is X, check out our deals, Y PRODUCT is 20% off"
I could feel the words put me into a shopping mode
She had a shoppers bag with straps that she pulled with both hands as if to invite my hand to grab it. Its like I was just following the motions. I could-feel- the effects this was having on my body. She placed it in my hand and I had entered some kind of shopping mode.

The NLP, the sensory, scent, touch, sounds (shoppers music), colors.
It felt very bizarre once you snapped out of automatic zombie mode.

Sometimes I appreciate the chaos in our culture.


Spend more time in nature friends.

No. Your understanding of them is just not very good. You presuppose your values and worldview onto them, so what they do looks retarded, and you only know them through strawmen.

How do they justify the point I raised though? I don't think that assuming that people who are vocal about their distrust of the government, distrust the government, is a strawman. I also don't believe that there are many anti-maskers who have viral analysis tools in their kitchen.

The government has provided us with an abundance of reasons to distrust them. Likewise scientists have time and again skewed their results in the direction that benefits their benefactors. Why, knowing these two things, would I trust a government sponsored scientist?

All true but is a random person off the street with no medical background really that much better than a government funded doctor? What makes the people who have a clear emotional investment in the issue more trustworthy than the people who have a monetary investment? They're both clouded by something other than truth but at least government funded doctors are, in theory, held to a standard within the medical field. Even if thag standard is ignored every single time, at least it exists. What exists to compel anti-government/anti-mask people to be accountable for their statements? You can punish a doctor if they're shown to have lied but what can you do to Bethany, 40 year old wine mom who pops benzos and seethes about freedoms she doesn't understand? I'm not saying "trust government funded scientists" I'm asking "how do you know who to trust when the people who are educated and have the means to provide evidence can be dismissed as lying and being in on it and the people who oppose them literally can't prove any of their claims and can only really stand on the fact that this is an issue that nobody but those doctors can genuinely know the truth of?". How can you justify trusting people based on the fact that they're uneducated?

The difference here is I don't give a fuck what Bethany the housewife or the government funded scientist thinks, I reach my own conclusions based on the evidence around me. I have worked this entire time in a factory with 200+ employees and seen many of them get the virus, none are dead. Most of them reported a mild cold. I live in a small town where my family knows most everyone, I have heard of zero deaths from covid. With this information I have decided that I would rather take the risk of catching covid than the risk of this DNA altering vaccine which was rushed by pharmaceutical companies and the FDA, both of which have something to gain from pumping it out whether it works or not. I do not believe that anyone has the right to tell me or anyone else that they MUST alter their genetic code for any reason. I choose to for things that are necessary and well tested, this seems to be neither of those.
