Maybe it started as a joke, but I would actually like to see it happen. If we want a net positive for humanity and the planet, it’s a good solution. And please don’t compare me to those fucking racist white supremacist fucks again.
This is the Covid thread. Let’s try and stay at least a little bit on topic and keep the politics elsewhere.
The running joke in my circle is that they’d like to send me along to join the protests and within a day the RCMP would shut it down. All I’d need is a colorful and misspelled sign with some dream catchers and beads on it, then the water cannons would automatically lock on.
All of the regular truckers who show up at our bays at my work still were showing up into this weekend. I’d like to know how not working at all for days to weeks on end helps with their complaints in any way. Also, this GoFundMe that made it rain and was then shut down… who was going to be the recipient of these funds? Who is your leader? What was your plan besides go to Ottawa and make it bad for the normal citizens there? Explain to me how you people are not the Horseshoe Effect of OWS.
Tell me again how Rogan hasn't went full grift mode: https://www.reddit.com/r/HermanCainAward/comments/sm44mj/back_in_the_day_when_rogan_loved_vaccines/
Dunno about Rogan in particular, but you can't make money off of supplements, snake oil, etc. if there's a viable legit medical alternative.
lol wut? Viagra and Cialis are proven effective - legit medical alternative - yet there are many, many supplements intended to accomplish the same thing. Just type in "GNC Viagra substitute" in Google.
So according to the Swedish government covid is over as of Wednesday. No restrictions (not that we ever actually had any besides crowd limits at public events and for about 4 months bars couldn’t serve alcohol after 11) anymore. I mentioned a week ago that we had gotten to maybe 5% mask usage for the first time since the pandemic started, and now it is back down to a fraction of a percent. It will be interesting to see how the next few weeks go here since the government has basically been wrong on everything they predict. I really ought to make a video of the head of the public health department making a prediction, with the follow up headline proving him wrong set to the Curb Your Enthusiasm theme.
Sorry, should have been more detailed. If you spout misinformation to reduce demand for the vaccine, you can then create demand for your own bullshit! Even better when you get health "experts" to discuss how dangerous the actual medical solution is and how revolutionary their bullshit has been. Dr. Oz, Alex Jones, and Rogan are the ones I can think of off the top of my head that do this kind of nonsense to sell supplements. "So, Doctor Dick Breath is here, to talk about vaccine alternatives." "Thanks, Ass Mouth. I have had patients with severe mercury, gluten and math allergies. They are so sensitive to these things, I can't give them a vaccine!" "Oooh. Scary, right? So what did you do?" "I recommended supplements made from dried cum I scraped off your mom's bed every morning. And it's just been the most amazing results!" "How amazing?" "Scientifically unverifiable! That amazing! Wow!" "There's a helpful link to buy these supplements on our website at..."
It’s a fucking stretch to connect Rogan’s antivax guest to some ploy to hawk supplements given his other incomes. People like Alex Jones who’s sole source of income is his advertisers goes to hilariously bad tv infomercial lengths to sell them. Pretty sure onnit doesn’t have ivermectin as a product. Maybe he threw that in to throw people off his soft sell? Certainly haven’t heard him push any of his specific products as treatments of infection. He’s had hours of conversations about the fact people need to get their shit together health wise and he’s mentioned them tangentially but never some show stopping live read. You people actually listen to rogan in any real capacity? Got the selectivity edited N bomb vids just waiting for the unverifiable sexual misconduct allegations shoe to drop for old Joe.
Is it safe to say that we're headed for a endemic Covid world? Where we just surrender efforts to suppress and learn to live with it? I'm starting to think so. And thankfully this trained professional has also, she even came up with a handy color guide for Future Covid Living (tm). https://yourlocalepidemiologist.substack.com/p/riding-the-waves-a-framework-for
I'm not even necessarily opposed to lifting restrictions, I just want the people pushing for it to be honest about what it means. It's been two years now of "You're overreacting, there's absolutely no way deaths reach {actual death count as of three days prior to the statement being made}." Just once I want someone to come out and say "look, we're going to lift restrictions, we're going to see probably 1.3 million dead all told, and I'm ok with that."

https://www.reddit.com/r/saskatchewan/comments/smyuxw/feb_7_covid_update/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf Although it was intended as a shit post, this is an accurate assessment as to the machinations of my illustrious provincial government. At an unspecified time in the coming weeks they will remove all mandates and firmly cement their position of throwing everyone in this province overboard and telling them to go fuck themselves. They test drove this policy with healthcare first, and satisfied with the results, opted next to apply it to the school boards. Now the general public is next. Why am I bitching and moaning? Well, I’m not looking forward to the cavalcade of mouth-breathing patriots who will soon descend upon our local restaurants and watering holes, where withering abuse will be sprayed in a spittle-flecked rage all over clerks and hostesses who have the audacity of trying to enforce the common-sense policies of their employers, at privately owned establishments, as the free market intends. And when it inevitably devolves into violence (and I’m sure I’ll be involved given my history), I’m not sure what I will do. Rule of law apparently doesn’t mean shit anymore in our nation’s capital so what chance do I have of avoiding jail time in a province full to overflowing with dribbling pricks? I don’t even know what point I’m trying to make here. I just adopted a baby who’s parents died from COVID. Kid’s gonna grow up never knowing his real parents, and eventually it’s gonna come out why and how they died. How the fuck do you even begin to explain this shit?
We always were, with a virus this contagious. But the powers that be saw an opportunity to intrude on our lives even more with the Chinese virus. Remember how the world was before 9/11? I do.
My mom walked me to the boarding gate when I took a high school trip to Europe and then I made bomb jokes with my friends off of the George Carlin bit of the same. This was 2 months before.
