Went to the doc today for a medicine check and refill. Also wasn’t feeling good. 14 year old grand daughter and my daughter have had the coof over the last two weeks so I figured I have it. Just kind of tired.

Nurse checks me in and asked if I had been jabbed. I said no. She said good because it doesn’t work. My faith in the younger people is being restored.

Doctor comes in. I explain what’s going on. He checks me out and says I probably have the coof and he’d like to test me but they ran out of test kits. And besides the results wouldn’t be back for 5 days and I’d probably be over it by then. I was going to ask about the quick nose swab and then decided to keep my mouth shut.

We started talking about the virus. His view is that everyone is going to get it and then have some type of immunity. Then I asked him where he thought it came from. He said the wet market in Wuhan. WTF? Are you serious, I asked. Oh yeah, it’s been pretty well established. Hmm, I asked about the Spanish flu and if he’d heard about the vaccine trials done by the Army that kicked it off. No, he said, sounds like a conspiracy theory. I was going to mention a couple of books and then thought, why bother.

It’s amazing that people in these positions don’t research things.

People naturally pay attention to things that are a threat, or make them fearful. That's the problem. Because no open minded research was done previously, they take the easy way, i.e. put on the mask and try not to be noticed, hoping it would pass, and dig in their heels on their ideas out of panic. People are generally intellectually lazy. They would rather post, comment or read twitter or tiktok for validation even when they are in a respected profession. How many people join medicine for altruistic reasons? Most are lab nerds who want money and aren't willing to do the ass kissing the pursuit of grant money entails. They usually won't do anything against the flow unless it's underhanded, or they are the point man on the team. They give the shots even knowing it's bullshit. They drown patients in chemo knowing it's bullshit. Think about that.

That is an astute analysis.

In on paragraph you kind of pulled out the one thread that is interesting to people: things things that are a threat.

Are we missing the golden opportunity on our side?

Your post made me think about why I spend time on this stuff. I guess the hook for me is the identification of the threats to our (my) existence.

If we were to start re-branding and re-packaging our signalling and messaging. How would you do it?

Just curious, your insight is amazing.
