Pueyo will be pleased to learn that I, as was my prerogative, died of covid three weeks ago, along with five members of my unvaccinated family.

Correction: I have just received word that we are all still alive and experienced mild cold symptoms without engaging the healthcare system. Carry on.

The narcissists are going to narcissist right through the end of the pandemic (when and if that comes) and out the other side. They were never wrong. They did a great job with Covid. Everything has been a success. The only bump in the road is people who disagreed with them, and every bad outcome is on those people.

Again with the kids. Where in gods name did this risk for kids come from. I have kids. I searched high, far, and wide for first a convincing argument and then just a coherent one arguing that they were at risk and that the vaccines were useful. I couldn't find either. Oh, sure, the mythical MIS-C. Whatever.

What is with these people? Leave my family alone you psychopaths

You see, once again I positively maintain that this particular quality exists in much of mankind - this love of torturing children, but only children. These same torturers look upon all other examples of humankind even mildly and benevolently, being educated and humane Europeans, but they have a great love of torturing children, they even love children in that sense. It is precisely the defenselessness of these creatures that tempts the torturers, the angelic trustfulness of the child, who has nowhere to turn and no one to turn to - that is what enflames the vile blood of the torturer.'"

Grotesque. This third installment of his fantasy series will be recycled many times by others making announcements from behind their castle walls: "Friends and countrymen! Good news! The danger that I so ably described and exhorted you to cower from, and encouraged you to demonize your neighbors for not cowering from....IS NOW GONE! Success! Look what our fabulous gyrations brought about. Please, leave your bouquets at the door."

If anyone needed any further proof that we are living in a sequel to Idiocracy, I rest my case.

I can't even imagine how horrible the last two years would have been for me and my loved ones if any of us would have paid attention to *any* of these "experts" on peddling dreams/plans/schemes for the world (Pueyo is just another name on a list as long as my arm). As for me and my house... we *never* stopped living. (And have no plans to stop either... no matter what)

Tomas Pueyo is a very special kind of moron.

All I might have a say in is my own health. I haven't been sick in well over 2 years except for a rather mild 1-2 day cold over a year ago. No injections and no mask. When all these "experts" start rambling on, I know that they don't know anything because the data over the last 2 years is mostly a pile of horse manure.

This character is an example of why I call social media a "Cancer" on our culture. Little voices in the dark getting into the minds of people with too much time on their hands. People need to get busy living or get busy dying (Shawshank). One major problem with modern times and technology is not nearly enough people have to work hard to make a life for themselves and their families. Social media influencers are a perfect example. As are many involved in Tech startups etc. Same with global financialization. When we traded manufacturing of real goods for finance and services lifestyles, we sold our souls to the devil. Same for abandoning the family farms for corporate agriculture. All thanks for bad government policies designed to enrich the few at the expense of the many. Getting the picture here ??? Pray, plan, prepare and RESIST.

> It’s just amazing there are still Corona pundits who assign SARS-2 a 1% fatality rate.

The state of Utah has had (as of this writing) 750,334 cases and 3,951 deaths, for a *case* fatality rate of 0.5%.

Unless there is something about Mormonism that protects against Covid, it’s basically impossible to argue that a first world country could have an *infection* fatality ratio higher than that. Even assuming Utah caught every single case (unlikely), that would seem to be an upper bound for places rich enough to have lots of octogenarians.

If there was one guy I could meet in person and maybe punch in the face....maybe just maybe.

I abhor violence - but there is a time and a place for it sometimes.

Anyway

Test and Trace was always an idea so bad that only government would actually do it. And now even governments are giving up on it because (exactly as predicted), the virus overwhelms all attempts to "get in front" of it -- especially when people are waiting days for test results.

"Maybe social healthcare systems shouldn’t treat their COVID or their Long COVID though."

They should also turn away other people whose ailments are self-inflicted, like the obese, the diabetic, smokers, etc. Heck, this could include people who incur broken bones through careless behavior. It's a slippery slope.

Given how impressive the original hammer-and-dance piece of propaganda, it's a little strange how slapdash this effort is (with the vague, bogus IFR's etc.).

Of course, careful efforts will show that all the "hammer"s and most of the "dance"ing did far more damage than good.
