Before I Riggerize some more of the madness surrounding the era of covid, let’s remind ourselves of just the merest sliver of that madness.
Let’s also remind ourselves of the context. We were faced with an outbreak that, even right from the start, we knew was not, overall, of significantly greater consequence than a severe flu. It was fairly straightforward to take the data from The Diamond Princess and from Italy and to arrive at estimates of overall IFR of around the 0.3% level (that’s 3 deaths per 1,000 infections). I managed to do this, but the Experts™ couldn’t?
As more and more data piled up we saw that IFR estimates (based on seroprevalence sampling) kept coming down (well below the 0.3% level). This was, so obviously, not the ‘pandemic’ of nightmares, but a moderately serious outbreak of a pathogen that, primarily, affected the elderly and which was close to the overall mortality of flu.
This, this, is what caused us to do the following.
You’ve seen it all before but, as they say, . . . lest we forget
Remember the time when governments told us what was, and wasn’t, essential for us?
I’m still trying to figure out what the difference between essential and non-essential seating was. If you needed to sit down AND you were hungry did the food immediately render the act of seating non-essential?
Use your common sense, Rigger! I might do that when the people who made this shit up start demonstrating some. Recall that in the UK two young men, university students I believe, were each fined £10,000 for organizing a snowball fight.
Instead of following previous pandemic advice which, more or less, amounted to “if you’re sick, stay home” governments took it upon themselves to micromanage every aspect of our lives, even including advice on how to stay covid safe whilst having sex.
Exactly what we need governments for.
They did seem to have it in for kids, though.
I was trying to think of something moderately witty to say, but the only word I could think of rhymes with shunts. How are we ever supposed to “forgive” these child-abusing jackasses?
But adults had restrictions too. When the initial Wuhan Weld™ approach of locking people in their homes was relaxed a bit, people could go out and enjoy things like concerts and yoga, provided they were covid safe and appropriately socially distanced. Notice the 2 evil old biddies flouting the social distancing rules at this outdoor concert
If you were into hiking and wanted to enjoy the countryside when you were finally allowed out, there were reminders that the countryside had not been sanitized.
If getting down and dirty in the racist countryside wasn’t your thing, you could pop along to the local pool.
If you wanted to go to an indoor concert that was OK, provided the musicians followed the newly-discovered Science™
Shopping, even during lockdown, was allowed. You could waltz, in one direction, in a socially-distanced manner, round your local supermarket, buying only essential items. This was also the time that walking by yourself in miles of open countryside was deemed to be a serious threat warranting police intervention.
But we got better. We discovered the magic of plastic.
The middle picture here was taken at a branch of Tesco near me. You can see these tall thin screens have been installed to do something. Nobody knew quite what they were doing, but we were assured it was for our “protection”.
This, as I said, represents a tiny, tiny, fraction of the astonishing and egregious fuckwittery that went on - all over something that was, more or less, like flu in overall consequence.
We simply went mad.
I’m still trying to comprehend and cope with the enormity of that madness.
The saddest thing of all is that none of it worked.
It was all an outrageously expensive waste of time. Think upon the estimated £500 billion the UK government just wasted on this.
What it did do is to damage us in ways that we’re reaping the “rewards” of today, and will be for many years to come.
But then the “vaccines” came to “save” us.
I do not think there is a case to be made for anyone to be vaccinated, but I will accept that it’s possible (but unlikely) that the extremely vulnerable could garner some temporary protective effect from the shitty mRNA gloop.
But we pushed this like crazy onto kids.
Unforgiveable. Sick, twisted, perverted, evil people.
You knew kids were not at any real risk - yet you used them as a kind of human shield to “protect granny” and other adults. I have no words to describe the level of my utter contempt for the scum who promoted this.
You did this in full knowledge that the “vaccines” had (a) caused serious side effects in the trials and (b) had not been tested against transmission.
Here’s just one psycho mum who had been swayed by the evil propaganda
And there are some who say it’s all “over”, that we should just “forgive and forget”.
Why? Why in the everloving fuck should I do that?
Try this when they ask you to "forgive and move on":
"Covid-measures and mRNA-injections have killed more than died in the Holocaust.
Want to 'forgive and move on' about that too?"
Still makes my blood boil! I’m an Anti-Masker. Screamed at in Wegmans for going the wrong way down the aisle. Screamed at in the DMV for standing 4 feet from a double masked hag. Thrown out of REI for no mask in their “outside” sale. My family was torn apart, my grandson is failing, and my 93 y/o mom was locked in her room. We all suffered, some of us still suffering. I won’t forgive the evil bastards and I’ll never forget.
