Another thing before I call it a night... on the transmission / shedding thing. As I was in a full plane for 2.5 hours with others, some of who must have been jabbed I take it I'd have been exposed to this. I did suffer from quite heavy hay fever in Portugal, needed to take some anti histamine. The pollen was high but yes, I did suffer from hay fever like symptoms. Just worth noting.

Incidentally, not suffering from that now that I'm back in the UK. It could be just hay fever but don't know!

Anyways, my strategy at the moment with regards others where I feel under threat is to evade and avoid. I'm getting to the position where I'll openly be lying or will be giving non answers. I'll test the waters by watching a game at a friend's house but if he starts acting like Tony Blair is advocating that'll be the last game I'll be watching with him.

Happy to go into defensive, don't trust anyone mode for awhile. Living in dangerous times with the potential for it to get explosive in due course.

In this climate it's difficult meeting "new faces" to make new friends let alone like minded people. I'm a strong believer in swimming on the lane life has put you in and observing what this brings. If any new faces are to appear I imagine this will happen through the natural course of things. I'm not holding my breath, thinking it's more a time to embrace ones inner secret agent with regards navigating these weird times.
 
Tip 1: Be gentle as a dove, and wise as a serpent

Friend: Did you get the jab?
SOTTREADER: That thing hurt a lot. Did it hurt you too?
Friend: Yeah, my arm was paralyzed for two days.
SOTTREADER: You know what they say?
Friend: What?
SOTTREADER: No pain, no gain.


Tip 2: Blend in

Friend: Did you get the jab?
SOTTREADER: A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do.
Friend: And, your partner?
SOTTREADER: We're not partners for nothing.
Friend: Wise man, cheers.
SOTTREADER: Cheers.

Tip 3: Know your limits

Friend: Did you get the jab?
SOTTREADER: Of course, I was one of the first.
Friend: I don't believe you. Show me the proof!
SOTTREADER: What proof?
Friend: I need to see your QR code and a negative PCR test.
SOTTREADER: Enjoy the game, it's 1-0 for the mad lads. But it's not over yet. :-D
Or you can just say, I am on the list.
 
This looks like a good cover for a book about transhumanism. But what does that have to do with my post?
It's just that I was inspired by how much effort you put into analyzing Jordan Peterson's slow "disintegration" as he sinks into the abyss he warned against. The "cover" was essentially a play on words, twisting the title of his famous book "12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos," in order to illustrate how things can go south pretty quickly if there are gaps in awareness (in JP's awareness that is).

Forgive me if the joke went too far. :-[
 
Just a quick update from Austin, Tx, things have been busy so I'll have more to say later:

Haven't worn a mask for 95% of this whole thing, but now that Texas has more or less opened back up now even the places before where I'd wear one I don't have to now, like the at the dentist or county tax office.

However, now I'm noticing signage change in the windows stating that the vaccinated do not have to wear one but it is recommended the unvaxxed do. So what the hell, before not wearing one meant you could see through the lies, but now it is supposed to signal you've taken the jab? I don't know why it bugs me, I should just be happy that the anxiety of not wearing a mask is gone now, again not that I put it on much before but I did get overwhelmed by anxiety before Texas ended the mandate.

This thing, this mindset we're witnessing, really is that of a parasite, hijacking everything that was there and replacing it with new meanings and definitions that are pure corruption of what was there before.

Finally, as I don't feel comfortable sharing other's information like this, I'll just say that some people real close to me have taken the vaccine. 2nd shot to come soon for both, not sure which one, it was too much to ask and a large part of me doesn't quite care, as the overarching signal being put out by them remains the same regardless. Any effects to come will come and I'll deal with it then so I didn't see any use in worrying myself with which shot they took. As of now no issues.

[Keep your] Heads up. Feel like this ride has only just gotten started. Thanks everyone for being here and much love to you all.
 
Happening later today in Columbus, OH:

1623130369381.png

Ohio House Bill 248, "The Vaccine Choice and Anti-Discrimination Act", is extremely important for Ohioans, and would accomplish the following in the state of Ohio:
  • Protect Vaccine Choice
  • Protect Privacy
  • Prohibit Vaccine "Passport"/Registry/etc
  • Provide Transparency & Reinforce that Schools must Honor Exemptions
  • Prohibit Discrimination
  • Protect Businesses Following the Law
  • Ensure this New Law Prevails in Future Public Emergencies
  • Provide Legal Recourse for Violations
I watched the 3rd of the Five Docs vid referenced previously. Dr. Merritt spoke first and her military background comes through in how she perceives the situation. These docs are using/keeping HCQ and Ivermectin on hand - Dr. Merritt had a serious nosebleed that only stopped by using those meds. Same for Dr. Tenpenny with some non-bleeding symptoms she was experiencing. Both feel that they were affected by vaxxed people transmission. Here's the link to the one hour and five min. vid:

 
I have a question on navigating social life. Are any members of this forum in the UK experiencing increased social pressure, be it unspoken, that makes them feel uncomfortable or the odd one out not having being vaccinated or intending on being vaccinated?

I ask as I'm seeking some advice on how to conduct myself in these increasing weird times.

I've been avoiding meeting "friends" face to face since the government unlocked most of the economy mostly due to the fact that I find it hard to pretend everything is okay when it isn't. In addition I'm not particularly keen giving my personal detail to businesses such as pubs or restaurants for me to buy stuff from them and as these are the places people usually arrange to meet I always decline coming up with various reasons for doing so. Lastly, I know from discussions during the run up to the mass vaccinations that I'm the odd one out amongst my "friends" with regard the lockdowns, vaccines and government. In these times when I think all have taken up their jab offers I don't feel comfortable meeting to socialize as I don't really want to get stuck into those conversations. There's also a thing now where I feel the vaccinated are looking to convert the unvaccinated and I don't really want to engage in these sorts of conversations.

In any case, as a result of all the above, I've mostly been keeping myself to myself and chilling at home, hanging out with my partner etc. However, I'm also conscious that my partner wants me to get out more and socialise so I'm in a bit of a weird situation where I'm feeling pressure to meet up with "friends" but then I know I'll be subjected to pressure during these meet ups and it's feeling a bit weird. For sure I feel it's going to get dangerous to openly admit you are not vaccinated and are not intending on getting vaccinated. In essence it puts a target on your back for the future where it's becomes open season for the unvaccinated as I feel is the direction the UK is going.

So anyways, the main reason I'm writing this is with the summer of sports approaching, starting with European football championships, people want to meet up and socialise whilst watching games. There's 3 hurdles here, the first is meeting up in businesses involves you giving away your personal details either to track and trace or to the business, the second is the majority or most of who you'll be meeting are vaccinated or will be getting vaccinated, the third is the weird awkward social situation that will inevitably arise about your personal vaccine status. E.g before any if this, get a hold of this message and to be honest, I felt I had to lie in my response which I did just because I couldn't deal with the follow up if I said otherwise... it's already loaded with being called an "anti vaxxer" etc and all the rest of it

View attachment 45967

Anyways, what should I do... should I be meeting up with "friends" to watch football and / or socialise bearing all the above? I need some feedback. I'm happy to be a hermit if I'm to be honest until this whole thing blows over but I'm not sure if that's me just imprisoning myself on behalf of the propaganda without anyone having to physically imprison me. I'm also finding that I'm not really keen to spend too much time with the jabbed... It's funny seeing all these propaganda about how people should disavow those who are unjabbed and I'm like, actually, I'm not keen on the jabbed so happy to live in a parallel reality where hopefully we aren't being discriminated against? Still keeping my eye out on the country that will be the shining light in all these so I can start planning immigration to a safe haven.
It's a tough one. I've thought about it a lot, but my circumstances have changed very drastically in the last few weeks, that I think the Universe has thrown me a kind of lifeline. I've just split from my partner and I'll be moving out on Monday, and I've just started a new job as sous chef in the other pub in the village. Firstly, my partner is fully vaccinated but we have both come to the realisation that we cannot agree on much and therefore our conversations are limited and shallow, and that is certainly not the life for me, especially as I was living in his house...very uncomfortable. So, my new home is even deeper into rural Devon, just me and the dog and cats, so peace and a chance to plan. I asked my new boss, early on in our discussions about the job, if he would require me to be vaccinated, I told him I would not get the jab...he said, no, that's fine, it's nobody's choice but yours, so that's cool. I'll be working 50 hours a week, so not much chance to socialise, which suits me. I don't have a set of friends, always been a bit of a loner and whilst there are people I am happy to chat with, I don't tend to seek people out. But my experience so far has been one where people don't seem bothered by anyone's vaccination staus, a few people know I won't have it, most I know have had it and they are just eager to get back to normal. And also, most know it doesn't really work.

The screenshot of the message you posted was interesting. My reponse to that has been, and will be, "Gosh, I would have thought this information would have been available before they started jabbing people!" I can't be doing with the two and fro conversations about the vaccine anymore with those who read and watch MSM. But I'm in a lucky situation at the moment. No Covid deaths in our predominately old people village, so it's evident that the unvaccinated are not a threat. I'm not looking forward to the autumn and winter though, things will probably change?

My advice would be, say nothing unless asked and if pushed, mention platelets...or anything that you've read about regarding side effects and play on that...most won't have a clue what you're on about, but I reckon you can make it sound convincing?

Operation. "House to house" search for those who did not register for vaccination.

Conversation with a friend on facebook regarding this same news:


-Friend: It doesn't say anywhere that they are going to force you. And being La Nación it could well have slipped the little word.
I see it as promoting door to door as a sort of awareness campaign.

--Me: Of course not. But the list remains... if they make a registry of those who have been vaccinated, why shouldn't they make one with those who haven't?

-Friend: It is possible that there will be a list of "nay-sayers". And once the list is compiled, do you think they will compel them to do so forcefully?

--Me: It is a reward and punishment society. It is behavioral. Our responses to environmental stimuli shape our actions....

It is unbelievable that even the most educated do not see the maneuver. I don't know what to do...
 
Just a quick update from Austin, Tx, things have been busy so I'll have more to say later:

Man! Texas sounds great. I've become accustomed to carrying a mask around in my back pocket. I only use it when entering a business since it's mandatory. I pull it off immediately upon leaving.

Depending on my mood, I'll tell people who ask what I think of it and the vax, but that I'll follow the law. They usually get scared after I start listing the issues with vax and they avoid bringing it up in the future.

The best approach in terms of thinking of signaling I've discovered is this; (talking to the general population in my head)...

"This Covid drama is YOUR thing. I looked into the facts at the start, and it turned out to be mostly hype. The news trying to pump ratings, politicians trying to grab power, and the drug companies trying to sell drugs. Same old story."

"So I spend as little time playing along as possible, I'm not going to spend energy broadcasting a position on it, so the whole tribal signal thing is irrelivent. Like having an opinion about which pop stars are dating. I wasn't into watching "Game of Thrones" or "The Office" either. I've got my own things going on. (For those old enough, I didn't care about the "Pepsi Challenge" or follow wrestling either.)"

Interestingly, when I started living with that attitude in earnest, I realized that it was both very accurate and powerful. People actually have old auto-responses for when you honestly just shake your head with disinterest and say,

"Yeah, I don't really know. It's not my thing." And then change subject.

Sports fans know not to force non-fans to talk football stats or expect them to wear team colors. Tapping into that psychology activates the same auto-reaction. People really are programmable reaction machines and that "code exploit" seems wide open and useful for most brief interactions.

There is talk of crediting Trump with the vaccine just to get more of his supporters vaccinated. Good luck with that! Here's a letter to the editior from LA Times:
_Letters to the Editor: Fine, call it the 'Trump vaccine' — anything to get stragglers inoculated


Letters to the Editor: Fine, call it the 'Trump vaccine' — anything to get stragglers inoculated​


https://search.yahoo.com/search?p=Joe Biden
To the editor: From now until July 4, let us rename COVID-19 shots the "Trump vaccine." ("Beer, guns and money: COVID shot incentives are gimmicky, but that's OK," editorial, June 4)
Let Trump supporters announce the numbers every day. Let them brag about getting not the Pfizer, Moderna or Johnson & Johnson vaccine, but the Trump vaccine. Make receiving the shot an act of resistance to the Biden administration and its admirable, responsible, orderly and nonpolitical vaccination campaign.
That will protect the nation and allow us to resume activities more quickly and safely.
President Biden will never get the votes of these people, but he will get credit for magnanimity and creativity for calling it the Trump vaccine. Ultimately, healthy Americans who can view the pandemic in the rearview mirror will give the current administration the credit it so rightly deserves.

Oh, I see. I know about Peterson's title "12 Rules for Life," but not the subtitle -- although neither came to mind when I saw your cover. I THOUGHT I was missing something!

Your joke didn't go too far, N.V. I just wasn't in on it.

"12 Rules for Disintegration: An Antidote to Creation," is actually a pretty good title (now that I understand what you were getting at!).
 
However, now I'm noticing signage change in the windows stating that the vaccinated do not have to wear one but it is recommended the unvaxxed do. So what the hell, before not wearing one meant you could see through the lies, but now it is supposed to signal you've taken the jab?

I have not worn a mask at all. But when I started seeing those signs, I jokingly told my husband that now I'll have to START wearing a mask to prove I am not stupid enough to take the jab!
