In Death on the Installment Plan, Ferdinand Bardamu, former Céline alter ego in Journey to the End of the Night - of which it is a sort of prequel - is a doctor in Paris, treating the poor who seldom pay him but take every advantage of his availability. The action is not continuous but goes back in time to earlier memories and often moves into fantasy, especially in Ferdinand's sexual escapades; the style becomes deliberately rougher and sentences become terser to emulate everyday Parisian tragedies: struggles to make a living, illness, venereal disease, the stories of families whose destiny is governed by their own stupidity, malice, lust and greed.
I have a copy I think kicking around, I have Journey to the End of Night, so if I find it can double check, but I think it is accurate quote.
The situation is complex. Although at warp speed nations are agreeing to chipping people and vaccine passports for travel there is some chance this can fail. How? Mass deaths suddenly speed up and folks wake up. In USA 900,000 a year deaths from vaccines will naturally fall into and be blamed on the normal categories, however the excess deaths will jut out. I think a few commentators or media personalities-maybe even Trumpelstiltskin may speak up. And though improbable the Republican mental midgets speak out and seriously investigate with enough deaths who knows.
I agree this is not the best strategy. And naturally the irony is the injectees have sky high hope. On the other hand shouting out and fighting back while prominent on Substack is woefully lacking in daily life.
I gave up. People decide. Death wish is as strong as it needs to be to get the job done. Same with cancer and opting for chemo. 4% survival rate, miserable health, expensive.
Covid-19 in one way was an unveiling demonstrating how unhealthy and criminal medical care remains for love of money status and prestige.
That's funny the bloated Ferdinand on the couch.
I know Ferdinand isn't a dog because of the reference to salad, but he might have been.
It's one of those examples where if you relax in your freedom it will be taken from you.
BTW, was 'sapience' the right word in the food list. 'salami'?

It was a very good extract.
I looked around for someone to read it out to.
Nah, no one.

I can listen to myself trying to wake people up and recognise that I sound like a born again Christian missionary.

"Do you really think this can go on forever?"
When the music stops.
