Then the vaccine isn't a vaccine.

Yeah, this is really about the domestication of humans. Anybody who think it's about the virus or public safety is well along that process. And if people are too stubborn to get domesticated then they will be replaced by those who will.

The money is not the only factor, it's about controlling the public's actions. Money is only useful if it can get you what you want. You can't outright pay somebody to change their mind. You need to use both rewards and punishments to do that, as well as control their sources of information.

If you create a slave class you end up with not only endless money, but also labour and other material desires. It's one reason that people have been heavily pushing for automation as well.

The number of gene-detecting PCR tests produced globally is expected to grow this year, with manufacturers like New Jersey’s Quest Diagnostics Inc. predicting that millions of people will need a swab before they attend concerts, basketball games or family functions.

Fortune 500 company, NYSE: DGX

Business is good for vaccine companies (bypass standard testing, no liabilities) and test manufacturers (even family functions!).

Reminder that the WHO has acknowledged that PCR tests are worthless since Biden's inauguration, after he won without evidence.

They've also started asserting that it's important to quantify deaths of COVID properly vs. those with preexisting conditions. Those pesky car accidents won't tally up anymore.

Edit: I have no idea why I posted this in hindsight, it had nothing to do with the conversation thread. It's like an automatic response/reflex to hysteria. Uh...leaving this stupidity here anyway.

Some of the accounts I've read of people who have gotten this vaccine sound worse than me actually having gotten the virus. Intense pain, feeling miserable for days after each dose, etc? When I had the WuFlu I had fever for about 36 hours, felt fine after about 48 hours. That's it. I'd rather have virus than inject myself with something that makes me feel worse.

“Going through the five phases of grief, we need to come to the acceptance phase that our lives are not going to be the same,” said Thomas Frieden, former director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “I don’t think the world has really absorbed the fact that these are long-term changes.” Endemic Covid-19 doesn’t necessarily mean continuing coronavirus restrictions, infectious-disease experts said, largely because vaccines are so effective at preventing severe disease and slashing hospitalizations and deaths. Hospitalizations have already fallen 30% in Israel after it vaccinated a third of its population. Deaths there are expected to plummet in weeks ahead. But some organizations are planning for a long-term future in which prevention methods such as masking, good ventilation and testing continue in some form. Meanwhile, a new and potentially lucrative Covid-19 industry is emerging quickly, as businesses invest in goods and services such as air-quality monitoring, filters, diagnostic kits and new treatments.

The United States died in 2020. The future is bleak for those who want to live free.

The US died in 1913. Its corpse was burned in 2020.

I disagree, sure that was part of the capability of the ultimate death, but it took a century for it to happen.

Fair point. A mortal wound, but one that took decades to bleed out.

Maybe the truth that we were unable to see was that one cannot truly live free within the system. Sure, some systems can be more free than others. Yet, you will still always be bound to only be as free as the system allows. Our system has been tightening its restrictions on how free it will allow us to be, but could really call ourselves free in the first place?

A happy dog on a long leash that allows for some roaming is still just a pet tied to its master.

Y'know what people used to get every year? A flu shot, based on whatever the companies predicted the latest mutation in the flu virus would be. Y'know what thousands of elderly and immunocompromised people still died from every year, regardless? That's right - the fucking flu. There's never going to be a permanent vaccine for this shit, because it's going to outpace vaccine production just like standard flu viruses do the other one. This is going to sound callous and cold, but if we'd just let the damn thing run its course, bury our dead, and let the living move on, we'd be well on our way to digging ourselves out of the pit that the Wuhan province created for us. Instead we're still cowering in fear of what's eventually going to become an annual resurgence and letting the government both run and ruin our lives in the process.

limited access to vaccines

Except shit like Smallpox is easily accessible. Most families, even working class, can get their shots early on.

These fuckers are acting like this is going to be a first world problem - it's not. More likely than not third world countries will have to deal with it but treating it like it's going to be an everyday part of most Western and First World Nations like Japan, Korea, etc. is fucking retarded.

It's a fucking coronavirus. Who'd have thought that we wouldn't be able to get that particular genie back into the bottle?
