In other words, there was plenty of incompetence and infighting among the despots and localized resistance to their rule last time too, and we still ended up with World War II and the Holocaust, the Holodomor, the Bataan Death March, the Rape of Nanking, and the Cold War. What I’m seeing now that convinces me this regime (with all of its incompetence and infighting) is being deliberately malicious like all of those regimes is how it keeps moving the goalposts to maintain its “emergency” powers:

“Two weeks until we flatten the curve!”
“Six months until we have herd immunity!”
“Stay masked and keep your distance until we get a vaccine!”
“Stay masked and keep your distance anyway; our ‘vaccine’ doesn’t actually immunize you.”
“Things won’t go back to normal until we throw Trump out and install Biden!”
“Now that we’ve installed Biden, things still won’t go back to normal until you all get jabbed twice; and keep wearing those masks anyway!”
[You and I are here.]
“You can’t do business as usual until you get a vaxport to prove you’ve been jabbed twice—and keep wearing your masks!”
“Your vaxport’s no good anymore until you get a booster shot; meanwhile, wear your masks!”
“You’ll need another booster shot; and keep wearing your masks!”
“We’re locking down again. You can’t have everything back to normal until there’s zero Covid-19 anywhere in the nation—on second thought, make that the world—which we estimate will occur on St. Nevercomes Day!”

Except that I really can’t see that many of the parties going full-on fascist are not parties who could have conceivably been part of an intentional conspiracy regarding COVID’s propagation. I mean, yes, Gretchen Whitmer’s gone Absolut Mussolini, but I don’t see that somehow the Governor of Michigan was in on nefarious illuminati meetings to get the ball rolling. She just sees control (by her) as being the bestest thing ever.

I also see booster persecution and other “draconian measures” as the flailing of the control freaks as the end of their fascist Disneyland vacation starts becoming real to them. With more states enshrining freedom from masks or vaccine passports into law and fighting back at federal overreach, with the CDC’s kowtowing to teachers unions and Dr. Fauci’s documented perjury to Congress becoming common knowledge, with between 12% and 20% (depending on poll) of Biden voters regretting their vote and Larry Elder within spitting distance of the California Governor’s mansion, it seems the mini-Hitlers are realizing that their Golden Age of Control in 2020 is slipping away from them.

Also, mark my words: you will likewise be persecuted for any “booster shots” you refuse to take (and unless and until the vaxcists pushing these “draconian measures” are overthrown, there will always be another “booster shot” for you to be coerced into taking for so long as you live).

Boosters, though… No. “Fool me once” and all that.

One of my mottos is, “Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by stupidity.” I don’t doubt that the vaccines were meant and expected to be more efficacious than they have turned out to be. The fact that the efficacy has been shown to be largely temporary right at the same time when draconian measures are being deployed to ensure vaccination is, in most instances, evidence of irrationality and the belief in “the power of control” than premeditated evil, in most cases.

I also don’t doubt that I got the “real” vaccine. My wife and adult son, both unvaccinated, came down with COVID almost simultaneously (she caught it from him, he likely caught it at the cast party after the run of a play he’d been in where everyone was hugging etc.). I started showing symptoms about three days after they did, but mine was MUCH less severe — it was basically a five-day head cold. (Meanwhile my wife took over two weeks to stop having a constant fever and headache.) I think I’m on solid ground to attribute the mildness of my case to having been vaccinated, even if it was four months previous.

I thought the whole point of vaccination was that people could finally get back to normal.

Yeah… I’m sure that’s what you thought. Here’s hoping by now you’ve figured out that’s not the outcome Fauci and his fellow tinpot despot “experts” intend for us. The only reason we in the U.S.A. aren’t already locked down again as tightly as the people in Australia and New Zealand is because we’ve still got a lot of heavily armed Second Amendment fans around here.

In a way, I suspect you’re rather fortunate: that “vaccine” you got was probably nothing more than a saline placebo both times. That means you’ve won the first two rounds of Russian Roulette this regime has been playing with you. I wouldn’t keep playing if I were you, though: even if you survive the “booster shot,” i.e. the third round, the vaxcists are clearly never willingly going to declare an end to this over-hyped “pandemic” and relinquish the “emergency” powers they’ve seized over us in its name.
