I mentioned to someone just last week that there are two pandemics.
There’s the pandemic of those living it “in their heads”. These are the people inside government bureaucracies and institutions, their perception shaped by work from home zoom meetings, social media debate and television coverage. For them, it’s all crisis, all the time.
And then there’s the pandemic for those who don’t spend their days glued to a screen consuming crisis porn. They’re going about their daily lives and business, the anti-Covid measures mostly performative nuisance.
First, an observation. If you want to see what's actually going on in front of you, it's probably best to look through your eyes and not through your smart phone.
Social media tends to sensationalize the mundane and amplify voices with a particular point of view or agenda.

Be sure to read the whole thread. And I’m going to add this here: rejecting the opinion of every person who isn’t 100% aligned with your current views is a really poor way to navigate life.
Funny. Most of the time, I don’t know where the darn thing is.
If you watch the news we’re in the middle of a deadly pandemic that will kill us all. If you don’t, it’s Sunday.
Just so.
Yes it’s Sunday and I am a prisoner in my Country. Cant cross the border to leave, or get on a plane, or ship to get out.
Must show my papers or be excluded from society. Police force does bidding of ruling elite.
Might not quite be East Germany yet, but getting damn close.
Turning a blind eye is not a solution.
Exactly right. If you get your reality from media, human life is enormously threatened by “Climate Change.” In reality, glaciers in Antarctica have been growing for 6 years; Arctic sea ice is at the highest level in 18 years; and the Sierra Nevada just experienced an historically high accumulation of snow in December.
Nope. It’s the only way to get real info.
Your phone? Is that what most people are getting when their face is in their phone all day? I’m pretty sure many of them are watching cat videos.
Where I live people drive with masks on, kids walk past my house alone on their way to school with masks, kids are asked in Sunday school if they are vaxxed.
So I don’t see any sign of things relenting. And I think we are at the point we’re reality no longer matters. Only the narrative.
I’d rather get information (and share it) actively, than passively absorb false narratives through the gatekeeper media.
It takes some time to separate the wheat from the chaffe, but you end up better informed.
No, they wait for the 6pm news for cat videos. The latest, cat’s defending their boxes, and interviewing the cats servant.
Hard hitting 6pm news, did I mention that yet?
Went skating at Bowness Park, lots of people out enjoying the day, even few masked weirdos.
How’s the ice there? We’re up in scenic acres
Bout time you started paying attention to this guy.
I make sure that I’ve got other things to do than being driven crazy by the media’s version of fear pornography as it’s gotten way past propaganda.
Tomorrow, I’m looking forward to garbage day and laundry day…
Oh my, two things on my schedule.
How will I be able to survive?
I might need to call my doctor for guidance…hmmm.
That dude blocks anyone who questions the long term safety of the vaccine, so I won’t put too much stock into what he has to say about anything COVID related. He’s a weathervane himself and that’s what you are seeing in that tweet you linked.
BTW he’s a radiologist, the WORST kind of MD for work at home dispensing of health care.
So where did you get your medical doctor degree?
Plus, he is right about the “vaccine”. You do know it is not a vaccine right?
Also, his posts have nothing to do about the vaccine its showing that the media is blowing everything out of proportion. Stop watching the CBC and CNN. They lie in most of their stories and tell you what they want you to hear. Quit being ignorant.
Sporty even the pharma execs said it is not a vaccine but gene therapy. The people people who make the shit say it is not a vaccine.
The FDA and CDC redefined the word vaccine and the word pandemic. I know most people are unwilling believe that but it is a fact.
Geez that escalated quickly. What’s your beef, pal?
But it is a vaccine, and a pretty effective one at that.
Yeah, the “vax” is great at killing people, getting them sick and putting them in the ICU.
I think he blocks anti-vaxxers who get insulting, which is a lot of them. Anyone who says “It’s worth it getting vaccinated” is in for an onslaught of personal abuse.
Rejecting the opinion of every person who isn’t 100% aligned with your current views is a really poor way to navigate life.
It’s hard to know if I like or don’t Ike what he says when I can’t see it. His blocking behaviour on Twitter isn’t much different than Kinsella’s.
Log out of your Twitter account then click the link provided. You’ll be able to read the whole thread.
I don’t disagree with his sentiments on this point at all. But until now his main themes have been as a vax hustler.
RN: Did you call Jacobs a vax hustler on twitter?
The Gell-Mann Amnesia Effect works with TV and radio news too.
Everything on there is suspect at the very least.
And the people in that business are generally pretty dumb.
You can observe their product and easily see the manipulative logic flaws and outright lies in it.
When people are saying that thousands are dying and I can see they are not, then I am not the liar.
I keep asking if this is so deadly, why don’t I know anyone who has died from it. Seems odd. I know very few who have even gotten it and they all got over it rather easily.
I know several people who have died of Covid, including a good friend who was 57 years old with a teenage son.
Kate
“with a teenage son.”…..how libtard that appeal to emotion is!
I know 1 person who dropped dead after second clot shot, one who was parallelized on one side after first clot shot, and a FB friend, front line health care worker who had to re-learn how to walk after 2nd clot shot. Butt still got my clot shots bc I need to stay on top of health issues. 3 out of billions , is a poor statistic.
And you can fuck off. I answered a question, you may not like the answer but those are the facts.
Fuck off twice, in fact.
I know one person that died. She was about 60 and had pretty much every known co-morbidity including obesity and kidney failure.
There will always be some who draw the genetic short straw. I once knew someone who died of viral pneumonia at the age of 40. That’s why it’s so important to have accurate demographics (and exactly why we’ve been denied them).
In Ontario, 80% of the deaths have occurred in long-term care homes, a fact the 100%-in-the-tank-for-the-Liberals Zoomer magazine tried to use against the Ford Conservatives until somebody corrected their wrongthink. The issue has since been scrubbed from their site.
[deleted. off topic – ED]
Yes. Lot’s being blown out of proportion, but also ominous undercurrents that may not be getting enough attention. Right now I am worried about banning truckers who are not vaccinated. I really can’t believe the government made this bizarre decision. Particularly strange was their retracting and then flip flopping. I think the flip flop was due to orders from their globalist masters who are still trying to push this pandemic panic. The measure ( mandates for truckers) will do additional damage to the supply chains. It’s hard to dismiss this kind of ” fear porn” when government actions seem to feed night into it. Anyone else worried?
Given Canadian health officials admitted to accessing the location data of 87% of cellphones it might be a good time to not only take the doctor’s advice but take it one step further.
Used my old IPod the other day,(the one with the wheel)…and it reminded me of a time when it was the only device I ever needed.
If you don’t suffer from insomnia you wouldn’t understand.
Everyone needs a Faraday Bag.
I’ve known this for a long time. I’ve often said things like “we’re devolving as a species” and “social media has us lurching from one mass hysteria to another with no time in between.” And watching our “chief public health officials,” it’s clear to me that to a person they are going to be unable to transition away from this crisis mode they’ve gotten themselves into.
Good comment Kate.
Some people will dismiss us older folks without even being curious and asking why we think and react to government edicts as we do.
Perhaps it’s because we know our history better than younger generations. We have done them a great disservice.
This is an article that all should read. And if your to young to grasp it have some one with grey hair help you.
https://www.conservativewoman.co.uk/must-we-wait-for-the-knife-at-our-throat-before-we-wake-up-to-totalitarianism/
We dismiss your reaction to governments edicts because we know you are perfectly fine with government edicts when they are issued by people you like against people you don’t.
“We”?
You and Wet Lab?
People under 35.
Right…
“ We dismiss your reaction to governments edicts because we know you are perfectly fine with government edicts when they are issued by people you like against people you don’t.”
Example?
Also, you’re pretty much on record as perfectly fine with totalitarianism. Piecing together your idea of freedom, it seems to me confined to open borders and nothing more.
I have no issue with the covid fanatics, most of my family falls into that group-however they rag me non-stop about my failure to comply with Dear leader’s vaccine edict. I don’t rag them, if they want 15 jabbas, they can knock themselves out. Funny how the vaccinated see themselves as some kind of hero for putting an experimental drug into their system over and over, we use to call that the definition of insanity.
The COVID vaccines are among the studied in existence. They could have been called experimental two years ago. They can not be called that now.
I’ll wait for the long term 18/24/36 month data, if that’s OK with you. And “Billions and billions served” is a McDonald’s slogan, not data.
Yes, sure, because you can tell what happens after 5 years in just 2 years, correct?
Remember, in all previous mRNA experiments, the animals died.
Thank you, but I will stick with the Zelenko protocol, seems to be working marvellously, with added benefits to my health, unlike the killshot clotshot.
Have you had #5 yet?
Two years? Talking about the development and manufacture of a vaccine? They usually take a decades. Oh yeah, it’s experimental buddy. Oh and by the way, any other vaccine technology would have been scrapped long ago with the rate of adverse reactions this vaccine carries with it. And on top of all that, they don’t work. AND covid is actually a very mild cold (I know because over the weekend my 5/6 members of my family tested positive and recovered from it. Including my 78 year old mother. You have been misled, which isn’t surprising because your head is buried in the sand.
My entire extended family falls into that. No attempt by any of them to actually look for themselves..always hooked to the CBC & CNN “experts”
And with a Religious like belief factor reminiscent of the 1300’s re: Witches and the burning thereof
I’m old enough to remember when Chicken Little was the object of mockery.
Now its the national bird of every western nation.
It should be “Shut the TV news off.” That is where the most of the BS fear porn is being generated.
Few of my friends are even 50% in agreement with me. Unfortunately, a few have the “you must 100% agree with me” and they have chosen to exclude me from their circle.
Them: it is fear all the time, they are Nazis.
SDA: it is conspiracy all the time, they are Nazis.
…you are only the opposite side of the same delusional coin.
You beat me too it. Like holy crap, the lack of self-awareness, the irony.
[snort] The basic stupidity…
I have a question. Is there any proof the injections actually work? I know what the correlations look like. i am also aware that the data has been ” smoothed”. The ups and downs seem to correspond to the annual rise and fall of the flu cycle. So does anyone have some objective data on the effectiveness. or is it just another talking point?
No, they do not. People still get illness, they still are contagious if not more so than unjabbed, they still end up in hospital, in the ICU and still die, despite “the miracle”.
No less than Fauci, Tam, Henshaw, Nazi Bonnie, Biden, Trudeau, Horgan et al, promised and stated numerous times that the shot PREVENTS DISEASE.
Yes, the shot is a failure, especially since now, those double jabbed have negative efficacy against Omigodcron……..meaning, they are 2X as likely to get Covid as us Purebloods.
Antibody Dependent Enhancement is it’s name. It was predicted to happen, and is in play. Even Bourla admitted on CNBC that two shots are not effective at all, against Omigodcron.
Yes, the shot is a failure, and we still haven’t gotten thru the long term after effects of it.
The marked events of athletes around the world dropping dead and suffering severe myocarditis, in numbers never seen before. And we’re just getting started, as time evolves.
Mike
Well the Seasonal Flu, Influenza and even the common cold have been fully “eradicated” dontcha know…?
Yea,,Ok then
Put your phone down!! This made the rounds several months ago but I still look at it from time to time. Sobering for me.
https://twitter.com/GauteNilsen/status/1408014184726642689
Saskatchewan has had approximately 980 deaths attributed to Covid. It averages 240 dead per year from influenza and pneumonia. The tally for Influenza and pneumonia in the last two years is zero. So we may have had 500 excess deaths in the last two years that could be attributed to Covid.
The average number of overdose deaths is 180 per year. Saskatchewan had 327 overdose deaths in 2020 and 464 in 2021. That adds up to an extra 431 deaths over two years. This could be attributed to government policy, not Covid, in my opinion.
We have not started to add up the number of people who died or will die from the clot shot in the next decade.
When the final tally becomes available, if ever, it’s not going to look good for the Branch Covidians and their magic drug.
“We have not started to add up the number of people who died or will die from the clot shot in the next decade.”
Pretty close to zero. There, I added it up for you.
Are you saying nobody has died from the so-called vaccines? Really?
It’s so few it’s not worth considering, and there’s no reason to believe that there’s some kind of ‘time-delayed’ wave of death coming.
UnMe – given a cousin’s reaction to the jab was so bad that son was called in from out of town and did not know whether would arrive to see parent or to identify a corpse, your comment is seriously out of line.
It has been my experience through the years that the public health system is extremely loathe to acknowledge any adverse reactions to a drug (vaccine, etc) which has been decided to be beneficial. Had their employees been more open and honest about adverse reactions, more of us would trust them (and that doesn’t count the totally incompetent among them). So when they keep touting a new “vaccine” as “totally safe” and “95% effective” while pushing increasingly draconian measures to force people to get vaxxed, I do wonder what we’re not being told.
I don’t know how many have died directly from the vaccines, but people have died from it. And in numbers sufficient to shutdown any other vaccine development in history. Even not counting deaths, the adverse reactions alone should have shutdown this shit mRNA technology.
But with 100% certainty, the lockdown killed more people than covid.
The work required to obtain accurate information today cannot be overstated.
Tony Heller’s Real Climate Science website is one of the best locations to obtain sensible information about what is really going on with the climate. Sadly, as Tony regularly points out, government agencies are consistently complicit with media in spreading misinformation and sharing the scare.

The dam is starting to break. Here in Scotland, went to the grocery store today and about a third of customers were maskless, another third wore them below the nose and the rest conventional. No one made any fuss whatsoever.
