I hope that the silver lining in this disaster is a universal questioning of the government’s narrative on all points. I don’t see how people understand this and simultaneously believe this is a democracy, that’s why we fight wars, and that voting is the pathway to progress.
The current demographic divide in the state of mind you describe here is so glaring: Among the “wealthy (who) worked on computers and lived on delivered food, brought to them by . . .”the working poor. . .under the new caste system while the rich isolated themselves and became increasingly neurotic.” My aged cohorts are paranoid, isolationists, narcissistic, and amnesiac, with a jarring and unwavering air of certainty about all goings on, and talk in sound bites. The more educated the less identifiable sustaining principles, and more battening down the hatches. The poor and workers will chat all day about their lives and what’s dumb and not working, and seem to be doing what’s necessary to survive in the moment with some grit and humor.
Great article - it gives me confidence knowing this tipping point has occurred and now all MSM and governments are in damage control for what they have done. Interesting times ahead after a disturbing 3 years of global tyranny.
"Somewhat work" -- I (supposedly) had Covid in January 2022, 8 months after injection. It was weird: a fever that didn't make me tired or lead to vomiting, and the worst stuffy nose I've ever had, but that was it. Maybe it "worked" to mitigate symptoms, but there's no real way to know that for sure. Wife, who opted for mRNA, also was sick when I had Covid, but a bit less so. However, I'm a bit overweight (6 ft tall and 240#+) while she is not. I'm also a few years older.
"Mostly safe" -- tell that to my tinnitus, hearing loss, elevated A1C levels, and difficulty exerting myself. All of these things happened to me within days or weeks after the shot, but BEFORE catching Covid.
I'd say the non-mRNA ones "barely work" and are "sort of safe" ... at best. But given the same lack of long-term data, who knows?
Did you catch the laughable thing in the news where the 'experts' were claiming the best protection is two mRNA followed by one J&J? Talk about compounding risk! Egad.
The whole thing soon felt massively overblown to me. I lived in one of the American 'epicenters' of the outbreak, and despite going out to restaurants, seeing friends, subverting masking however I could, and desperately clawing for any normalcy I could find, I didn't catch a whiff of Covid from March 2020 through January 2022. Nor have I caught a recurrent infection despite currently being around a ton of people who either have it, or live with people who have it. In fact, I only caught it during a period when I was NOT interacting with people all that much in the week leading up to it (only went to the dentist and the in-laws who had just gotten boosters, and both places claimed no illnesses before or after my visiting). I'm actually sort of confused as to why I seem like such an outlier.
The whole thing was certainly overblown to an insane degree.
I did just read something about the safety problems witb J&J that I had totally forgotten because its hard to keep track of all of the last 3 years full of bullshit and thought about the fact that I perhaps shouldn't have said that in this piece, so I suppose this comment can serve as a sort of correction.
Also "tell that to my tinnitis!" Good Archer reference.
Awesome article, thank you. Last shot I got was for college (Hepatitis) and a tetanus booster, and they knocked me out for a day, shaking on the couch. I dropped that program that required the Hepatitis vaccine (which had a 2nd shot in the series) and I don't think I'll ever get a tetanus booster ever ever again.
I meant to say in this article and just remembered my college roommate passed out and woke up in the ER after getting the first Gardasil shot and her parenrs still tried to convince her to get the next two. She's an only child. That is when I first realized just how deranged pro-vaccine people can be.
I dont really remember reacting to vaccines at all but I dont think Ive had one since I was like 13.

yeah at least some people woke up to the government, but a lot more were broken, it seems.
Also a lot like Berenson etc don't seem to have woken up that the government is like this generally and it isn't just "public health"

Reluctant single shot J&J recipient here.

This title brings me great joy 😄
I think people will be impressed I am capable of making a reference to music that is not Bob Dylan
