Seriously, I Have No Idea Why People Don't Trust The MSM....






So it's time to hang up the tin foil hat!


(It doesn't always work though, check out this.... then the rest of the story)

Curiously enough, the MSM can't find a single person who's been affected badly by taking the kind-of-vaccine. Not a single one. 

It's a Wunder Waffe alright, the only medical treatment in history without a single side-effect!

Yeah, that'll be the reason we don't hear anything about side effects (also, strokes and heart attacks tend not to leave the victims enough time to issue politically useful last words). 

As it happens, I have been spiked but reading garbage like this makes me think I may have taken a wrong turn. I'd like to have been a fly on the wall in the meeting that decided on this strategy:
Smug Prat 1: People are reluctant to take the vaccine, they think the Government is manipulating the media to hype the risks of the virus while hiding the risks of the vaccine

Smug Prat 2: How about we plant a bunch of blatantly sexed up stories about vaccine sceptics whose dying words are about how they totally should have listened to Big Brother?

Smug Prat 1: That's brilliant! Obvious media manipulation is exactly what we need to restore public trust
With brainiacs like this on the case, I can't wait to see how they deal with obesity. It'll be free cheeseburgers for everyone!

Meanwhile, I can't help thinking about the time my Great Uncle Harry was run over by a steamroller and with his dying breath he turned to me and said:
The forces of safety are afoot in the land. I, for one, believe it is a conspiracy— a conspiracy of Safety Nazis shouting "Sieg Health" and seeking to trammel freedom, liberty, and large noisy parties. The Safety Nazis advocate gun control, vigorous exercise, and health foods. The result can only be a disarmed, exhausted, and half-starved population ready to acquiesce to dictatorship of some kind.
Remember: anyone questioning this story is denigrating the authenticity of my loss!

That. The more they scream that All Must Be Jabbed, and insult ridicule those who haven't been, the more I think they're up to something.

Maybe they aren't. Maybe. But this isn't the way to convince the naturally sceptical - the very people they're trying hardest to convince, remember - of that.

I think that it is more to do with the simplistic thinking of those without the inclination to question things. If you could be sure that these vaccines were safe and effective then obviously it would be in everyone's interests to get vaccinated. That isn't the case though. The vaccines are only partly effective and has unknown risks. Younger people who are less at risk from the Covid virus have a judgement call to make. It seems that the last thing that TPTB want is people actually thinking about it and making decisions for themselves, hence the clumping together of Covid vaccine sceptics and anti vaxers generally. I am in a high risk category and did as much research as I could into the pros and cons before deciding to get vaccinated. I had no side effects but it will be some time before I can be sure that I made the right decision.

One aspect of all this is that the normal course of these viruses is for them to gradually evolve into milder forms. This is because really badly incapacitated people don't spread it as effectively as those who just feel a bit rough. Both having a vaccine that merely reduces the severity of symptoms and the practice of self isolating when you think that you might be infected prevents or slows this process down.
