Yesterday I took an international flight which means that today I am somewhere else. I have just victoriously concluded a two hour battle with my quarantine hotel and have obtained a fresh pot of coffee served in crockery, as opposed to instant coffee in a paper cup. I am in quarantine for five days because I am among the ranks of the unclean. In other words, I have not bent the knee to our want-to-be overlords and submitted to their death jab.
Actions have consequences. On both sides.
I flew business class which was a practical choice. In business you are treated better; you are more important. Thus, any issues that sprung up due to my unvaccinated status were immediately solved. I was seated at the front of the plane next to a professional from a very large company who was rather high up on the chain. We got talking, we got along, the flight was pleasant. I nursed a cognac for an extraordinary long time so as to avoid the whole mask charade. I had tried the same trick in economy on my previous flight and it hadn’t worked. However, with the same airline in business class I was not bothered once. Viruses may not respect international borders but they sure do respect social ones.
After a long period of silence in which I read a book, and with an hour to go on the flight, the two of us began talking again. The subject of the virus came up. My corporate travel neighbor confidently expressed the opinion that those who had remained stubbornly unvaxxed should have their lives made as miserable as possible until they comply. I smiled and nodded and made some small remarks concerning the strangeness of the whole situation; the contradictory evidence and the rushed nature of the vaccines, but I did it in a way that was entirely neutral and non-combative.
He obviously had no doubt at all that I was vaccinated. His assumption was complete on that scale. I was an equal and the thought never entered his head that I could be a dissenter from the true scientific faith. We were on the same side but more importantly, we were on the same level. And I left him with his comfortable assumptions. I did not break the spell. As someone who tends to be on the combative side of things I rarely shy from a ribald exchange of views. But with the vaxx, as with faith, I tend not to argue.
Consciously or unconsciously, I think this is a significant source of rage against the anti-vax crowd. Basic human pride.
Post of the year (or the Plandemic).
You would think that any vaccine which deserves to be called a vaccine provides the recipient not only with immunity but also at the same time prevents such a recipient from passing it along, preferably disabling or killing the virus in question. In other words the more people are being vaccinated with such a vaccine the more we should see a decline in the rate of new infections, but this is not what we are seeing and the common excuse is because of the unvaccinated portion of the public. But apparently just the opposite appears to be taking place. That fact seems to be validated by locations with the highest rate of vaccinations with these recently concocted experimental mRNA vaccines where infections and reinfections keep right on going. Once again validating what renowned virologists have predicted but is being ignored by greedy companies as well as politicians having turned into control freaks. Bypassing and ignoring other ways and means far safer with hardly any adverse reactions which are available and could put the brakes on this epidemic stopping its spread by disabling the virus what these vaccines apparently are unable to do. Neither will another, and another and another so called booster shot if anything it may leave your immune system in worse condition than you started with.
It's already happening. Look at how many teams in the young NBA season that are playing short-handed night after night. My hometown 76ers just got Tobias Harris back after almost 3 weeks, only to lose Joel Embiid to Covid. Same thing is happening in the NFL only the sports media choses to keep the spotlight on the unvaccinated players (Aaron Rodgers) so that they don't have to answer questions as to why vaccinated players are testing positive.
Wait until one of the college playoff teams has to forfeit and see who they blame then.
