How the “Unvaccinated” Got It Right
BrownStone Inst. ^ | 1-31-23 | Robin Koerner

Posted on 01/31/2023 12:25:22 PM PST by Paul46360

Scott Adams is the creator of the famous cartoon strip, Dilbert. It is a strip whose brilliance derives from close observation and understanding of human behavior. Some time ago, Scott turned those skills to commenting insightfully and with notable intellectual humility on the politics and culture of our country.

Like many other commentators, he fervently encouraged people to take the Covid “vaccine” and sympathized with measures to pressure people into doing so.

Recently, however, he posted a video on the topic that has been circulating on social media. It was a mea culpa in which he declared, “The unvaccinated were the winners,” and, to his great credit, “I want to find out how so many of [my viewers] got the right answer about the “vaccine” and I didn’t.”

Scott Adams is a smart guy, who looked at the modern workplace, and got cynical.

But he didn’t get cynical enough.

With enough built-in cynicism, you could see the COVID scam a mile away.

Know a lot very smart folks. Some got the shot and some didn’t but can’t really identify the difference in education or intelligence between the two groups that was the deciding factor for either.

In addition to the 16-odd points raised in the essay, I didn’t get the vaccine because I have no co-morbidities, and the immune system of a tank. Yes, I’m over 55, but... I really just never get sick. I don’t get flu shots or anything, I just go about my business, and I don’t get sick. It’s my one area of good luck, I suppose (knock wood).

>and the immune system of a tank.

Likewise. I used to fly commercially a lot. I consider planes to be incubation chambers for all kinds of cool bugs.

How did I get it right? It wasn’t very hard:

1. I had no confidence that these vaccines were safe.

2. I had no confidence that they worked.

3. I had no intention of making permanent alterations to my body in light of #1 and #2.

For the life of me, I never could figure out why so many people couldn’t see this.

If Scott had read the Q thread on FR, and had followed the brilliant research of ransomnote, he would not have been snookered

My armchair factor is one word: wives.

I know of two men who were not excited about the shots, but got them because their wives bought in completely.

Fortunately, my wife and I are on the same page. This is despite the fact that I am unemployed and several jobs I would have applied for require shots.

I'm the exact same as you. Just turned 60 and never had a serious illness in my life. Never get the flu shots. Great immune system (and it gets lots of practice!)

These shots just seemed iffy to me. I wasn't preachy about it. I'm not anti-vaccine. I'm up to date on measles, tetanus, etc. Just didn't feel right about these. Besides, the COVID is just the flu. I've had the flu a few times in my life and always shook it off rather easily.

What are the long term effects of the vax?

To this day, nobody knows.

Over my relatively long life the powers that be have taught me to be skeptical of them.

Without going into detail, too often when I read or hear the media, I know, or sometimes just believe, they’ve got something wrong or those in power are doing something contrary to what they say.

All this carried over into my thinking on the present matter.

I'd say their general outlook is a bit too trusting...and a lack of critical thinking. The news they watch & their circle of friends and onlines were saying/getting vaxxed so they did, too.

I didn’t get the vax because I figured out pretty quickly they were lying about hydroxychloriquine/zinc. The other lies about the virus itself were pretty easy to see through. So why believe anything they said about anything?

the people that claim the experimental shots are “safe and effective” also claim men can cut off their family jewels and convert to women...

Adams has taken his success as evidence of his genius.

He also apparently took his success as evidence that “the system” is accordingly fair and just.

Lengthy article that TOTALLY misses the MAIN POINT. Way too many words about nothing.

The “vaccine” Emergency Use Authorization REQUIRED that there be no other remedies. Since known protocols worked, the EUA was founded on a lie. The unknown risk of “vaccines” was in opposition yo the known efficacy of low-cost personal responsibility. Done.

We still want ALL THOSE RESPONSIBLE for the invalid EUA to be held to account including public executions.
