It’s No Longer Science, It’s a Cult

Follow the science. How often in the past two years have we heard that from our leaders as well as those in our business or social circles? Daily would be a good answer. And in following the science of the Wuhan virus, what have we discovered in those same two years? Well, nothing that we probably didn’t surmise in the first few months of disease. In the early weeks of the pandemic, most of what I heard, or read, made me think that this COVID virus was some sort of vicious form of influenza. There were just too many similarities in the initial analysis and even though we were told, No, this is nothing like influenza, today, two years later, we are indeed discovering that COVID is expected to act like seasonal influenza from here to eternity.

It’s Not About Being Anti-Anything

I don’t lnow if I’m incoherent or people that I know only hear what they want to hear. I’ve been remonstrated with again for being anti-vax and anti-mask concerning the now dying pandemic. Oh, and that whole dying thing? Yeah, because of the other two above, I am somehow responsible for people, not just in my community, but around the world!, dying from COVID.

No More Lockdowns, Mandates, or Threats

Like many of you, I think about this pandemic, and our collective response(s) to it often. I’m not obsessed, it’s just hard to get away from whenever you turn on the news or yes, your computer to look at stories that are trending. They all seem to be pandemic related. Canada? Just today I read that there was a serious look at moving the military in to break up the protestors. How about a few days before when GoFundMe attempted to steal monies donated to those same protestors?

Listening to Disparate Voices

I noticed a thread in Twitter recently that open criticized Joe Rogan’s use of expertise in his shows about COVID. One interview was with one of the researchers that had helped discover/develop mRNA technology for vaccines, the other was an eminent cardiologist/epidemiologist. The tweeter, an M.D. himself had problems with these interviews and of course the people being interviewed.

The Run of the Lemmings

I don’t always expect fallout from a post, but I’m never really surprised when there is some backchannel anger from a few people and yes, based on this recent post, I did receive some, well, not out-and-out anger, but pretty close and even a single message that could be interpreted as a threat. By the way, these are all from people I know personally. Yes, people I actually see on occasion. Of course, none would leave a comment to the post , instead opted to send me private email basically asking if I had gone completely nutty and that I must have gone over to the ”insurrectionists” (you know, the gigantic insurrection from Jan 6, 2021 where, without any firearms at all, a few hundred citizens almost made our government fall.). I smiled at that because it as then I knew that I wasn’t crazy and that these people, a couple I had considered friends, had gone over the edge completely.
