Thank you, that is exactly what it seems like. To many of those who favour the vaccines, it is like a religious experience to them.

When the vaccines were rolled out the narrative said if you got the vaccine, you would not get Covid. When this proved untrue, it did not change many minds, they were still enamoured in their religious experience that they just chalked it up, to an error. But they could trust health officials to do the right thing to the population.

Evidence started coming out that the vaccines were having very little effect; however the health officials still ignored this. They kept this up and the general public for the most part is still drinking their kool-aide.

Yes, there are those who have the attitude that exudes: "Don't confuse me with the facts... I've got my mind all made up!". But there are many (dreaming on my part?) who have never heard the facts which are too often cancelled, removed, banned, etc. by Social Media or are never reported by the Drive-by Media". So, unfortunately they are seriously misinformed because they have not been exposed to the truth.

Unfortunately when talking about something like this; we can miscommunicate, or overcommunicate (if I can put it that way).
A friend and I were actually talking about his experience that many people he knows who previously were completely taken in by the vaccine mandates; but say that they will not be getting anymore boosters.
I worded what I said above:

not as though this is the case with ALL.

Rather because the section Anthony recommended in the link really seemed exactly what many in my life are doing.

Freedom is not free. It requires fighting every day to push back against mandates.
Aaron SiriDec 22

Some of the successes resulting from this work are covered in the media, but many go silently into the night. No media. No public report. But they are not any less gratifying. These silent wins are often mandates, recommendations, licensures, authorizations, etc., that would have come to pass but didn’t…

There is nothing that has wrought more harm on humanity than the idea that individuals are too ignorant, uneducated, or unintelligent to make decisions for themselves. America was founded on the rejection of others dictating our lives (be they kings, dictators, etc.) and on the idea that we can all make individual decisions about our lives, including what risks we choose to take. The greatest risk is letting others make decisions on our behalf.

…In the last three years, the idea that we must eliminate our individual rights for what the government believes is best has taken hold. This is more dangerous than any virus. It is, ironically, what preceded this country and what has brought the worst harms ever wrought on humanity.

And there is no right more fundamental than the ability to reject an unwanted product being inserted, ingested, placed on, or injected into one’s body without threat or coercion.

…If you want a vaccine, great. If you want to take thousands a year, great. That is freedom. But please don’t try to coerce anyone else to take a medical product they do not want or consent to because you may one day find there is a mandated medical product you don’t want to inject, ingest, etc., into your body.

p.s. While striking down mandates and protecting exemptions are difficult, few appear to have believed that messaging against federal health authorities (that has all our taxpayer money) or pharma (that has a revolving purse of billions in profit every year) would be possible. But truth, pushed hard through the correct crack, has a way of multiplying and spreading. This occurred in the lawsuit against the FDA for Pfizer’s documents which resulted in global headlines such as “Wait what? FDA wants 55 years to process FOIA request over vaccine data.” That created a public cognition about the FDA and this product that would have otherwise taken billions of advertising dollars to accomplish. Here is wishing for truth to keep exploding through cracks and into the public consciousness in 2023!

Thanks Anthony

What you just said reminded me of a part of a really good book I am reading.

The worldwide COVID-19 pandemic has been used as a pretext for worldwide globalization and an economic reset. As news about one coronavirus variant after another was announced, we were given various rationales for resetting the economic, geopolitical, environmental, and racial equilibrium of the world. There is a sense in which COVID-19 has proven that we are all one family in a connected global community.
In 2021, a couple reports were submitted to the World Health Organization (WHO), evaluating the worldwide response to COVID-19 and providing recommendations. In addition to government restrictions and mandates, the reports “supported the creation of an international pandemic treaty that would establish consequences if countries failed to live up to their commitments.”
Klaus Schwab, the man who founded the World Economic Forum, has written the book COVID-19: The Great Reset, which states in the introduction, “Since it made its entry on the world stage, COVID-19 has dramatically torn up the existing script of how to govern countries, live with others and take part in the global economy.”
When will things get back to normal? “The short response is never,” he writes. “We will continue to be surprised by both the rapidity and unexpected nature of these changes—as they conflate with each another…cascading effects and unforeseen outcomes.” We are assured that “no industry or business will be spared from the impact of these changes.”
Let’s take a closer look at where this will lead us.
The script calls for nations to no longer set policies that would be best for themselves, but best for the whole world. This means there will be huge transfers of wealth, particularly from the US to poorer countries in the interest of equity.
There is no hiding the agenda. On the World Economic Forum’s website, Schwab writes, “To achieve a better outcome, the world must act jointly and swiftly to revamp all aspects of our societies and economies, from education to social contracts and working conditions. Now is the time for the great reset. Every country, from the United States to China, must participate, and every industry, from oil and gas to tech, must be transformed. In short, we need a ‘Great Reset’ of capitalism.” The argument of Schwab’s World Economic Forum is based on the notion that control of goods and services must be transferred from individual countries to the global community in accordance with socialistic principles. As we noted in chapter 3, the World Economic Forum was asked their predictions for the world in 2030. One of the answers, already accepted by many, was, “You’ll own nothing. And you’ll be happy

In what might be the most unforgivable action to date, more than one thousand universities forced healthy college students to receive experimental vaccines for a disease that poses miniscule risk to young people. That went well beyond forced testing of students—what the cdc itself had already declared “illegal and unethical” in its now-removed post of October 13, 2020.* Then, in a frightening illustration of the unethical extensions of science denial, several top academic medical centers—Duke, Johns Hopkins, Stanford—ran a clinical trial injecting the financial sponsor’s covid vaccines into healthy infants and toddlers for an illness from which those subjects have miniscule risk for serious consequence. The researchers justified the drug’s success on indirect evidence of serum antibodies, rather than true clinical protection, because it prevented infection in only 37 to 51 percent, and because no subject, not even in the placebo group, had serious illness or death.

In Kafkaesque fashion, the America’s fda granted an emergency use authorization, or eua, on December 8, 2022, at a time when there is not a public health emergency from covid for children. Do most Americans realize that dating back to 2021, several other countries did not recommend, and some even forbade, covid vaccines in children without underlying illnesses—Finland, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, and others? Has the United States become a society that wants to use children as shields by injecting them with experimental drugs? It is not an overstatement to suggest that university scientists today have become this century’s Flat Earthers, but with an added dose of serious ethical and moral failure.

Finally, many elite American universities disqualified themselves on the most basic requirements of conduct for being trusted with our nation’s most precious assets—the minds of our younger generation. Professors engaged in censure, bullying, and character assassination to win arguments by comparing scientifically valid ideas, all of which have been proven correct, including targeted protection, to “eugenics” and the “Tuskegee syphilis experiments.” While this is not the first episode in American history to remind us of Joseph Welch’s famous lament “Have you no sense of decency?”, to many it illustrates today’s most disturbing deficit in our country—a lack of simple civility to others.

Nelson Mandela observed “There can be no keener revelation of a society’s soul than the way in which it treats its children.” America failed the test. From school closures to the reprehensible injection of experimental drugs into our own children as shields for adults, the heinous legacy of all who recommended and implemented those policies is serious physical and psychological damage to our children, especially the poor, the totality of which will not be known for decades. We urgently need to restore moral leadership of our nation’s institutions across the board, or the free and ethical society ideal of the United States has lost its legitimacy.
