It's just a fact - ignored at the experimenters' hazard.
Trust and believe I have not forgotten a **** thing. They tried to experiment on me. They threatened my ability to work and purchase in the public market place. They curtailed my ability to travel freely. They forced me to wear a mask in public, which was against the peer reviewed science to which we ALL have access if we choose.DeezerShoove » 31 Aug 2023, 3:38 pm » wrote: ↑ Not disputing anything you said.

That has been my consistent view from the start.
As new (or better) information surfaces, I will not fall into the trap of forgetting what we had just lived through:
A dearth of common sense.
There seems to be a continuing problem with that though.
Selective amnesia can be a problem for some, as well.

I'm still healthy as a horse.
That is a much more popular opinion (more widely held) now than 2+ years ago, is it not?Cannonpointer » 31 Aug 2023, 3:46 pm » wrote: ↑ Trust and believe I have not forgotten a **** thing.

The numbers have not changed. 71% of all drugs approved this century were subsequently removed or black boxed due to unforeseen dangers/ineffectiveness. I readily acknowledge that the amount of due diligence required by the individual, in the face of a propaganda onslaught, was above the abilities of the average person. I simply take issue with calling those who predicted this BASED ON THE INFORMATION WIDELY AVAILABLE "conspiracy theorists." We were not - ever - conspiracy theorists. Those bucking the odds and lying were.
The odds against the clot shot were 71% plus x, with x representing the difference between a properly vetted patent medicine and a warp-speed mass-produced one. Basing one's arguments on those numbers is precisely the opposite of a conspiracy theory.

But the math also existed. The reasoned arguments also existed. The peer reviewed science which proved Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine effective against the virus also existed. Whatever the partisan screeching, it is incorrect to declare science- and math-based, reasoned arguments conspiracy theories.
I was arguing from science and math from the outset.
There was also the fact that the pro clot shot side was caught in an endless string of lies and was relying on the yellowest of yellow journalism.

Our species is going to gradually "homogenize" regardless of whether the worlds population increases or decreases. Regardless of deliberate social engineering via mass media and the encouragement of [illegal] immigration.
The net difference in IQ and physical ability across the species as a whole doesn't change due to just that..but what it will do is flatten the Bell Curve.
We should end up with fewer idiots per capita but at the cost of fewer geniuses per capita.

I was one of the assholes who was told to wear a mask... Many times.
Didn't see the usefulness of that **** then and I confess I'm even stupider about it now.
I live in a liberal state but not many came up to me, citizen-to-citizen, to say **** to my face.

That "math" is accumulative.
What we accrued in 3 years cannot be used against decisions made 3 years ago.
You keep trying to miss that basis of my view. We both reacted to situations right in front of us.
If you're trolling for a pat on the back from me, I want one too.
Another thing I would point out to you, impervious as you seem to reasoned, science-based arguments to which you have no rebuttal, is that your bedfellows on this particular issue are people like Bill Gates and other members of "the good club."

Most people would have no idea what you are talking about.
Some would be aware of a downward trend with far fewer huge familes to be found.

The overall rate of gain is 240 people per hour....or 2.1MM per year.
Divided by 335,000,000 and the rate is "point 6 percent" per annum..which means we are currently growing at half the rate of the Baby Boom.
I think the social engineering measures we've noted will take more time to gain traction.
Hopefully once the [[[SOCIAL ENGINEERS]]] can see evidence of a gradual glide path downward they won't get impatient and put us through any financial disasters ...super pandemics...world wars, etc.

And as far as the vax goes, there's a thousand central players that could have been acd out with no effect. Even pfizer could have been told to pound sand, leaving the field open for its competitors.

With half the people competing for all the homes that are already built a huge amount of Apertment Dwellers and people who rent homes will be able to become HOME OWNERS thanks to a massive housing glut.
Millions of houses will need to be torn down and the land absorbed by neighboring property owners.
With a population that is held in check [thanks to sociological conditions that make people shy away from parenthood] there will be no need to expand into parts of the USA that have already proven to be less than desirable places to live.
At 335MM Americans and counting it is safe to say that all the best places to live have already been taken.
At the end of a 40 year career of commuting 100 miles per day from the suburbs into every major West Coast City....that works out to 3 hours per day X 200 working days per year...which is 600 hours per year.....X 40 years which equals 24,000 hours...or in other words 2.73 years out of my life were spent commuting. Now multiply my fairly common experience X millions of Commuters just like me.
What a terrible waste of our most valuable resource..which is time.
With 1/2 the population I should expect to only throw away a year or so of my life to commuting the same distance instead of almost 3 years.
A 40% increase is an order of magnitude that could be expected from a comet hitting the earth. WWII didn't cause that kind of uptick.

Davison said in a press conference in late December that his firm saw a 40% rise in death rates among working-age individuals insured under its group life policy in the third quarter of 2021. Some posts used that statistic to falsely imply vaccines were to blame, with one blog claiming the data showed a “record number of younger people in the workforce were dying after the roll-out of COVID-19 ‘vaccines.’”
These posts misrepresent comments byDavison and others in the insurance industry. More than half of the excess deaths in the U.S. in the third quarter of 2021 were caused by COVID-19, Davison said in a statement to The Associated Press, citing CDC data.
“CDC data indicates that 65% of 3Q excess deaths can be directly attributed to COVID,” Davison said. “Our own claims data is consistent with that as well. Based on the data and our analysis, we believe that a significant portion of the remaining excess deaths are driven by deferred medical care and individuals who recover from COVID but later die from the toll COVID has taken on their bodies.”
