People where I live were generally behaving normally for the last few months like how it was before the globalist pandemic started but after the recent fearmongering, I sadly see many more useless masks on faces and I can see that the fear is spreading.
Yesterday my leftist aunt just went full Eric Ding level of COVID hysteria by trying to force double masking on my COVID recovered grandparents.
I was stunned when I learned that she actually got the booster shot after she had a bad adverse reaction that caused her a serious eye problem after the original two shots.
The rational members of my family have had to tell her to fuck off and not to torment my grandparents with her hysteria.
The sad truth is that the WEF globalists have already fully succeeded with their Great Reset plans. They have destroyed normality.
I am feeling more blackpilled than ever.
Only time will tell. Why would they let it loose in Botswana? That's what makes me think that it is not intentional, though it was my first suspicion.
Maybe tell her that natural immunity is recognized throughout the EU as equivalent to vaccination.
That said, natural immunity is still not perfect, and will likely wear off over time. You really don't want to play political games with the lives of your grandparents. If a double mask isn't doing them any good, it's not doing them any harm either.
As diseases evolve, they trend towards being less deadly. Which is sort of obvious when you think about high school biology: there is selection pressure on strains that keep the hosts not only alive, but out and mingling to keep spreading it. Even with resistance (switching over to bacteria), the factors that grant resistances consumes energy that might otherwise be used for mitosis, so they actually are less suited for multiplication.
The big signal that there is something intentionally done, in my mind, would be if a discovered strain was found to be legitimately more deadly.
It would prove me right beyond any doubt.
Supposedly, this new variant spreads much faster even than the Delta variant.
In theory, it could kill 90% within a month and it would have no effect on the rate of spread.
That said, there is no indication that it is more deadly.
Because no one is going to actually go to fucking Botswana to investigate. Double masks constricts breathing, and for old people like grandparents, is not good.
Dumb take.
He's an idiot pro-vaxxer.
Not only do masks not work against airborne pathogens, but, as you mentioned, they make respiratory functions worse:
The only time anyone should wear a mask is if it has proper filtration and a sealant, otherwise it's just a detrimental performative act with zero benefits... especially if the mask is touched in any capacity while it's being worn.
African diseases are commonly regarded as worse. When people hear something is from Africa, they picture Ebola.
I partially agree with you on this, it depends on their age though.
