The Wizards of Covid aren’t retreating despite public exposure as frauds, lemurs follow them over the abyss while prophets yell from a deep well. If heard, we are dismissed as ghosts in the machine. Corralled in fenced off Free Speech Zones. Regrettably, our forces are shattering, abandoning the strategy of winning over recruits from the undecided to oppose vaccine mandates. An achievable goal using effective tactics laid out in this series. Instead, we’re stabbing each other with myriad splinters from snake venom to 5G, binary morphology to God’s Plan, Climate Hoax and Flat Earth, germ theory vs exosomes, with every diversion in between.
It’s how the 9/11 Truth movement fell apart, squabbling over thermite vs mini-nukes taking down the Three Towers, Deep State vs Foreign Frenemy and innumerable diversions. They’re still lost in the wilderness, chopping through thickets of sawgrass along with Kennedy assassination specialists.
There are signs of hope in the Covid War. In my bubble of triple jabbed, double masked solo drivers, a super majority dropped face coverings in the gutter after county “public health guidelines” ended in February, when omnicon subsided. Despite dire warnings of “surges” of new variants without hospitalizations, few donned them again. Of course, there are plenty of EverMaskers who will wear them in their casket.
Weirdly enough my county with the highest rates of covid vaccination and booster jabbing also has the highest rate of covid “cases” in the state of California, mostly in the inoculated. Even KPFA’s go to UC Berkeley Public Health and Vaccinology expert Dr. Swarzberg can’t explain it.
Excess deaths for our small population county over the last three years haven’t been tallied by our “public health” statisticians. Reports of departed locals from the geographically greater coastal side of the county (with more ungulate residents than human), increased significantly after inoculations began for those over 70. I attended a mass memorial for the 2020-22 dead in my small town. Most of the deceased were elderly and frail, but two robust men in their early 70’s died within weeks of the boosters rollout. It’s easy to blame unhealthy aging for most of the fallen, except when two 40 year old men dropped dead in their tracks in a nearby small town. Then consensus blamed congenital causes.
I thought deaths and injuries from covid jabs would be the tipping point for many to join the anti-vaxx mandate army, but I was wrong. Double jabbed doubled down, lined up for booster pop ups as if they were ethnic food trucks. Still insisting only mandates for the heretics would keep them safe, despite vaxx failures. For all the conspiracy chatter about Communist China and their draconian quarantines, the CCF has not decreed vaccine mandates. Many more Chinese over age 60 declined to be jabbed than American seniors, simply hunkering down and waiting for the hysteria to subside. They certainly don’t trust their government to have their best interests at heart, from memory of betrayals.
Our myths are baked into the psyche of the people, can’t be scoured out without soaking. We have to unravel the tapestry of vaccine myths one thread at a time to reveal the naked man behind the veil. These myths are like vast stone blocks of Peruvian Temples, so closely joined they seem monolithic.
Vaccines are Perfectly Safe and Effective!
Vaccines Saved the Children!
Only Vaccines can Prevent Illness and Death!
I am in Danger Because You are UnVaxxed!
Vaccines Improve Public Health!
Those are the major myths, as hard to dislodge and roll uphill as Sisyphus’s boulder. He kept his eye on the prize, his nose to the grindstone, his shoulder to the wheel, which didn’t end well, if ever. Forget the Greek myths, there were no happy endings. Norse are Worse. But Ours are Real Lies, not simply primitive explanations of materialistic scientific understanding.
These myths can be undermined, if we dig away at their rubble foundations. I aim to pick apart those myths over the next few months, focusing on the loosest threads in the narrative. Penetrating the monopoly of media mindmelt is like a message in a bottle in a sea of plastic, even more impossible with the message or messenger tossed in the Kook Pile. Word of mouth between trusted friends has always been the most persuasive, however limited. Reaching the masses through the fog of war and censorship has to be as accurate as Paris’ arrow guided by Apollo into Achilles Heel.
I salute those Candidates for California’s Senate and Governor primary who seized on the power of the state to broadcast their message to millions using the voter guide mailed to every registered voter in the state. “Total voter registration in the state increased from 18,980,481 to 22,005,243” in 2022. Let’s be generous and say half are opened and read, magnitudes larger audience than CNN+ subscribers.
Senate: Republican Cordie Williams vows to defend “personal and medical freedom.” Don J. Grundman, with no “qualified party preference” doesn’t mince words about “poisonous fake vaccines” that don’t work and one million VAERS injuries, then dissolves into a sea of conspiracies that dilute his prime directive. Mark P. Meuser, Republican “fought for medical freedom” and will hold “accountable” those who “enabled the Covid-19 pandemic and crippling lockdown.”
Governor: Reinette Senum with no party preference, lists “protecting bodily autonomy” along with regenerative agriculture. Serge Fiankan with no party preference denounces the “leadership” that used COVID-19 to “turn the state into a Big Pharma dictatorship.” Brian Dahle, Republican will “stand up against hypocrites who required us to wear masks while they did not.” Mariana B. Dawson doesn’t waste words, “F all politicians.”
Lt. Governor: Republican Daniel R. Mercuri will “stop the erosion of our freedoms.” David Hillberg with no party preference is concerned with “the loss of our freedoms, liberties and livelihoods.” Hopefully their messages resonate in Californian’s psyches, like Narcissus’ Echo.
Metaphors: Mixed not Shaken
This is a good way into the minds of NZrs as well with the local elections due later in the year.
