Coronavirus Pandemic: Apocalypse Now! Or exaggerated scare story?

[WIN 52]

To me it seems that through many freedoms and rights, easy lives they got people sedated, forgetful, passive, docile, meek and unresponsive because newer generations forgot how it was in the past and how it happened, that those rights and freedoms were hardly fought for, and make them believe that totalitarian monster is dead forever and that they have passed beyond that thinking that the state they knew will last forever, making them unable to recognise and unprepared, and more important they would not believe it when it comes.

Classic case of flouride ingestion.

Here's another Amazing Polly video where she describes the differences between the two coronavirus narratives - that of the authorities, and that of the experts that are speaking out against the official narrative, but who keep getting deplatformed and censored. She mentions that she did a video on hydroxychloroquine that was taken down by youtube, and that she prepared some material on PCR tests.

Once again she has pulled together some good references and shares links below the video.

Here is a government clinical trial testing ways to intervene on the resistance to COVID-19 vaccines. These interventions aren't new, they've already been used for lockdowns and masks.

This study tests different messages about vaccinating against COVID-19 once the vaccine becomes available. Participants are randomized to 1 of 12 arms, with one control arm and one baseline arm. We will compare the reported willingness to get a COVID-19 vaccine at 3 and 6 months of it becoming available between the 10 intervention arms to the 2 control arms.

The interventions they are testing are:



First of the list, the control message, that the interventions are being tested against is a passage about the costs and benefits of bird feeding.

Then:

Baseline message:
3/15 of the sample will be assigned to a control group with a message about the effectiveness and safety of vaccines.

Personal freedom message
1/15 of the sample will be assigned to this intervention, which is a message about how COVID-19 is limiting people's personal freedom and by working together to get enough people vaccinated society can preserve its personal freedom.

Economic freedom message
1/15 of the sample will be assigned to this intervention, which is a message about how COVID-19 is limiting peoples's economic freedom and by working together to get enough people vaccinated society can preserve its economic freedom.

Self-interest message
1/15 of the sample will be assigned to this intervention, which is a message that COVID-19 presents a real danger to one's health, even if one is young and healthy. Getting vaccinated against COVID-19 is the best way to prevent oneself from getting sick.

Community interest message
1/15 of the sample will be assigned to this intervention, which is a message about the dangers of COVID-19 to the health of loved ones. The more people who get vaccinated against COVID-19, the lower the risk that one's loved ones will get sick. Society must work together and all get vaccinated.

Economic benefit message
1/15 of the sample will be assigned to this group, which is a message about how COVID-19 is wreaking havoc on the economy and the only way to strengthen the economy is to work together to get enough people vaccinated.

Guilt message
1/15 of the sample will be assigned to this message. The message is about the danger that COVID-19 presents to the health of one's family and community. The best way to protect them is by getting vaccinated and society must work together to get enough people vaccinated. Then it asks the participant to imagine the guilt they will feel if they don't get vaccinated and spread the disease.

Embarrassment message
1/15 of the sample will be assigned to this message. The message is about the danger that COVID-19 presents to the health of one's family and community. The best way to protect them is by getting vaccinated and by working together to make sure that enough people get vaccinated. Then it asks the participant to imagine the embarrassment they will feel if they don't get vaccinated and spread the disease.

Anger message
1/15 of the sample will be assigned to this message. The message is about the danger that COVID-19 presents to the health of one's family and community. The best way to protect them is by getting vaccinated and by working together to make sure that enough people get vaccinated. Then it asks the participant to imagine the anger they will feel if they don't get vaccinated and spread the disease.

Trust in science message
1/15 of the sample will be assigned to this message about how getting vaccinated against COVID-19 is the most effective way of protecting one's community. Vaccination is backed by science. If one doesn't get vaccinated that means that one doesn't understand how infections are spread or who ignores science.

Not bravery message
1/15 of the sample will be assigned to this message which describes how firefighters, doctors, and front line medical workers are brave. Those who choose not to get vaccinated against COVID-19 are not brave.

The study, which hasn't been completed yet by the looks of it because there are no results posted, then goes on to list the primary outcome measures:

1. Intention to get COVID-19 vaccine [ Time Frame: Immediately after intervention, in the same survey in which the intervention message is provided ]
   This is a self reported measure, immediately after the intervention message, of the likelihood of getting a COVID-19 vaccination within 3 months and then 6 months of it becoming available. During analysis, responses among those assigned to different intervention messages will be compared to those in the control group.

And the secondary outcome measures:

1. Vaccine confidence scale [ Time Frame: Immediately after intervention, in the same survey in which the intervention message is provided ]
   This is a validated scale. This scale will be used to assess the impact of the messages on vaccine confidence. (Outcome assessed only for the half of the sample that answers these items post-treatment)
   
   
2. Persuade others item [ Time Frame: Immediately after intervention, in the same survey in which the intervention message is provided ]
   This is a measure of a willingness to persuade others to take the COVID-19 vaccine.
   
   
3. Fear of those who have not been vaccinated [ Time Frame: Immediately after intervention, in the same survey in which the intervention message is provided ]
   This is a measure of a comfort with an unvaccinated individual visiting an elderly friend after a vaccine becomes available
   
   
4. Social judgment of those who do not vaccinate [ Time Frame: Immediately after intervention, in the same survey in which the intervention message is provided ]
   This is a scale composed of 4 items measuring the trustworthiness, selfishness, likeableness, and competence of those who choose not to get vaccinated after a vaccine becomes available

So, since these kind of messages are already being used, gotta wonder why there is a study being conducted on them for vaccines. Is it because the messages aren't having the desired effect over time and sooner or later peeps start to see through them?

Polly also refers to this article written by a myopic and tunnel visioned bioethicist who thinks that dissenters from the mainstream narrative should be given morality pills for moral enhancement! That would be much better than waiting for a vaccination, don't you know?!

My research in bioethics focuses on questions like how to induce those who are noncooperative to get on board with doing what’s best for the public good. To me, it seems the problem of coronavirus defectors could be solved by moral enhancement: like receiving a vaccine to beef up your immune system, people could take a substance to boost their cooperative, pro-social behavior. Could a psychoactive pill be the solution to the pandemic?

It’s a far-out proposal that’s bound to be controversial, but one I believe is worth at least considering, given the importance of social cooperation in the struggle to get COVID-19 under control.
[....]
It seems that the U.S. is not currently equipped to cooperatively lower the risk confronting us. Many are instead pinning their hopes on the rapid development and distribution of an enhancement to the immune system – a vaccine.

But I believe society may be better off, both in the short term as well as the long, by boosting not the body’s ability to fight off disease but the brain’s ability to cooperate with others. What if researchers developed and delivered a moral enhancer rather than an immunity enhancer?

Moral enhancement is the use of substances to make you more moral. The psychoactive substances act on your ability to reason about what the right thing to do is, or your ability to be empathetic or altruistic or cooperative.

It's interesting that the bioethicist also refers to something like economic game theory that he terms 'Public Goods Games'

Evidence from experimental economics shows that defections are common to situations in which people face collective risks. Economists use public goods games to measure how people behave in various scenarios to lower collective risks such as from climate change or a pandemic and to prevent the loss of public and private goods.

The evidence from these experiments is no cause for optimism. Usually everyone loses because people won’t cooperate. This research suggests it’s not surprising people aren’t wearing masks or social distancing – lots of people defect from groups when facing a collective risk. By the same token, I’d expect that, as a group, we will fail at addressing the collective risk of COVID-19, because groups usually fail. For more than 150,000 Americans so far, this has meant losing everything there is to lose.

But don’t abandon all hope. In some of these experiments, the groups win and successfully prevent the losses associated with the collective risk. What makes winning more likely? Things like keeping a running tally of what others are contributing, observing others’ behaviors, communication and coordination before and during play, and democratic implementation of an enforceable rule requiring contributions.

That last paragraph might indicate why the narrative won't hold up because people are observing others, communicating and coordinating.

There are lots of reports online about people leaving the big cities and moving away, all across the USA, in hope of finding (again) a 'normal' life for themselves and their families. Here's one article about it:

Not sure what else to say. Looks like the first shot has been fired in the USA, and in Virginia of all places. The comments under that article, though, show that there are one heck of a lot of very, very angry people ready to take action. Things might be about to get bumpy in the states soon. I hope people keep their cool and make this guy back down with exposure, and stop this in the bud...at least, that's my hope.

And ... Do you know what would be the reaction of all the people around me, except my wife and my son?

Look at that (here would be an insult) smiling without a mask! Hopefully (here insults and bad wishes)!

(Depending on the person it would continue that way more or less time)

They simply cannot see.

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but there's a new term "long haulers" which describes people who allegedly contracted this virus and came down with a large number of long-lasting symptoms. They're getting a bit of flack on SM from those with a clue about the manipulations around this virus, but I wonder if they're actually being honest rather than hysterical.

COVID-19 'long-haulers' report nearly 100 symptoms for more than 100 days

"How long does it take you to get back to normal? That's an open question," Dr. Anthony Fauci told NBC News.

www.nbcnews.com

In all, patients reported 98 different symptoms they attributed to their COVID-19 diagnosis. In part, those symptoms included dizziness, anxiety, headache, rashes, joint pain, shortness of breath, heartburn, diarrhea and fevers. They also reported difficulty with memory, thinking, sleep and vision.

Maybe this ties into what the Cs said about the original intent of the original strain of the virus - to make people more controllable - and these cases are people who contracted this strain and did not mutate it within their own bodies. After all, the only way I can think of that any designed virus could realistically make people 'more controllable' would be by compromising their health in these more subtle, but nevertheless significant, ways.

The university of Yale examines how the vaccine can be 'sold' to the public. Under 'COVID-19 Vaccine Messaging, Part 1' is a list of various interventions. The use of guilt and shame, 'together', 'personal freedom', etc. Is familiar.

The behaviour of the gendarmes is inadmissible, they act like a gestapo. Oh my God, what madness !

I subscribe to several Youtube channels, including Andy's, Amazing Polly's and a few others along the same vein. All have an interesting, but different flavor to perspective. Some are a tad zany, but entertaining anyway. It has been about 10 days since getting notifications for any of their videos. I didn't even think of it until seeing the video in this thread above from Polly. Usually there is something from these accounts, except on Thursdays. Anyone else having the same problem?
There is this virtual disappearing, and I am getting a bad feeling in my tummy about the possibility of people actually disappearing.
