Critical thinkers are few and far between. In the past week I have been to a number of social events and during my conversations I was surprised to discover that not one person to whom I spoke was even a little aware of the downside of the vaccines and all were fully vaccinated.

When I told them I wasn’t vaccinated, they looked at me with surprise, kinda shocked and amazed that I had made such a decision, but no one criticized as I take the approach that if I respect what they say, they usually respect what I say. So there were no arguments or tension.

It was sort of like discussing the different colours of a flower!

As we know Substack writers and their commenters are well informed, but I didn’t meet one person who had even heard of Substack.

So there is a huge gap here. It seems that if you want to be educated on this matter,

information is easy to find, if not it will never be found.

My belief is this is all too human. Education and group think makes propaganda work.

Sir, it saddens me to hear what's happening in your community in that filthy horrible beautiful city I too used to call home. Stay strong.

I hope I can brighten your day with a surprisingly undepressing story from Miami freedom city. Today I had to go to a local medical center for a physical. First time I've been to see a doc since the Atrocities.

When I arrived they had a bunch of signs up demanding everyone wear a mask. In the outside world, no one muzzles up in Miami now. But inside the hospital it was different. Lotsa face diapers to be seen.

So I walk to the reception desk, unmuzzled of course. The clerk is friendly and has his muzzle "on" but pulled down so he can breathe. I check in. And he says, 'you need to wear a mask' and points to the box of muzzles on the counter.

I try to stay friendly - cuz the clerk is friendly. And I say, 'If I don't wear one of those, will I be refused service?' Clerk sez, 'we have a mask policy'. But still friendly.

So I reply, 'Will I be refused service? If so I'll wear one, under coercion. But I do not consent to wear one of those things.' I stayed as friendly as I could but chose my words like a lawyer.

He had to check with the doc - but yeah, no problem. No muzzle, no hassle, got the physical, done. Turned out way less horrible than I was fearing the day before.

I know this story must be little comfort in your situation. But I hope at least it's a reminder that the whole world hasn't gone mad quite yet.

Gracchus interesting. I go to Kaiser today for eye exam and glasses. No mask and security guards kick you out. Or you are given mask.

Further in Kaiser signs are up everywhere about masking, social distancing, and injections. This shite does not bode well.

That's awful, fucking awful. And I'd guess there at Kaiser all the staff are wearing their muzzles "correctly", up over the nose to properly obstruct their breathing? What a disgrace. Kaiser hospital used to be, or I used to think of it as, a good medical system.

A few more notes from my experience yesterday:

Although most of the staff were wearing muzzles, the working class staff (i.e. not the docs and PAs) almost universally had them pulled down below their noses, or even down to their chins. However the administrative ladies - the ones you see last for co-payment and paperwork - were not making any pretense of wearing them at all. Which was awesome, to see normal human faces. Such a simple thing but so important.

Before the physical the PA was asking the usual medical history questions. At some point she asked if I'd had the Covid vaxx ("hell no!") or the flu vaxx ("no and I don't plan to"). And that was it. She wrote it down. No badgering, no hassle, not even a comment like "you should get it". Nothing.

They do still have some of those idiotic plexiglass screens up. The usual one between the registration desk and the public of course. But also in the waiting room they had a few set up - and these were kinda hilarious. Here and there, sitting seemingly at random between the different sofas and chairs, were little 2 foot wide by 4 foot tall plexiglass screens. Even the most gullible Covid superstitionist can't possibly believe _those things_ do anything at all to stop a virus.

Control by fear. After all merely to work at KP one must inject. I doubt saline is used.

Mind over matter. I've seen, in the past 3 yrs, that you can indeed catch/die from something that doesn't exist. It's not just the jabs that threatened lives.

The injections are shots of death. Run for your lives!
