The problem is, the vaccinated don't want to admit they made a poor decision out of fear, ignorance or pressure. They don't know what the future holds for them and they want to hope they made a good decision. I'm sorry to say but the decision was a bad one. We should have never taken something experimental with no extended human trials. We are the human trial, and it failed.

The modern Democratic Party is Matt Yglesias and Ezra Klein recording endless podcasts about overcoming NIMBYism to change zoning ordinances to increase housing density while simultaneously ignoring the iatrogenocide led by Democrats that is maiming and killing their own base.

TRANSCRIPT

MICHELLE: I was asked to reply to a comment, what do I think of people who refused the vaccine, the covid vaccine?

I've been hurt by the Pfizer vaccine, I have CIDP, chronic inflammation demyelation polyneuropathy. It's changed my life completely. If I had to do it all over again I would have never got the vaccine. Um, I do work in health care, so I do work with patients. So, where I work we were told, you know, if you get the vaccine you'll save lives, you won't get sick, you won't die. The media was saying the same thing. So I believed it.

Um, my friends that didn't get the vaccine, I thought, how could you not get it? You're going to go home, what if you have it, you don't know it, you give it to your family members? The worse case scenarios were playing out in my head because of what I was seeing inside the facility.

We would have cookouts and things like that with my friends, that I had a lot of friends that were unvaccinated and they still aren't vaccinated. We'd have cookouts and at first I was scared to go there because I thought, oh my gosh, what if they're spreading covid? It was like the dumbest thing I've ever thought of, now that I think of it.

And once I started hanging out with them and things, they weren't getting sick. And the ones that did get sick, they got covid lightly, they were back on their way.

I had already gotten my vaccine, I had already started having issues and seeing a neurologist.

I totally have changed my mind. They were the smart ones. They were the ones that didn't wear the masks. They were the ones that hung around each other and never caught it, never spread it. Some of the ones did get vaccinated because of their jobs. But the ones that aren't, I totally commend you and I wish I was one of you. I think very highly of you.

And I'm upset with myself. No job is worth it. No job. So. There's my answer.

Actual photo of vaxxer:

Can you think of a better caption?

The union’s fixation on “safety” was a mania that amounted to the psychological abuse of children, and it has had lasting effects. This mania had little to do with actual safety, and more to do with signs of fealty to the Democratic Party. It is this fealty—not labor principles or educational concerns—that currently drives the union’s actions. ...

During her congressional testimony on April 26, 2023, Randi Weingarten reiterated her support for teacher vaccine mandates. “There’s someone in this audience here today who disagrees with me about it,” she said, gesturing to the seats behind her. The person she was referring to was Stephanie Edmonds, a New York City public school teacher who was attending the hearing. Edmonds’ religious exemption was denied, and she lost her job due to the city’s vaccine mandate for public employees.

“It seems like a little bit of a mistake to me to admit that she thought it was OK to fire her members,” Edmonds told me. If Weingarten claims to always fight for teachers, why did she find it acceptable for New York City to fire hundreds of union members and flag their fingerprints for the FBI?

“There’s a political power aspect to it,” Edmonds said. Vaccine mandates effectively weed out teachers who don’t share the Democratic Party’s ideology. Edmonds also pointed out that because it controls teachers’ benefits, the union manages billions of dollars of investments. “I think it’s probably connected to a lot of their financial ties,” she said. “Teachers union funds are invested within the pharmaceutical industry.”

But here's someone who did stand up for himself:

@nighttimemedia
Sadder and sadder. I've done any number of tweets in which I've commented on the staggering amount of vax damage that we've probably got hiding in our populations now, waiting to pop out and ruin our economies, and always the response from angry liberals is "There is no vax damage!". And I tweet "Get a d-dimer test for blood clots. Get an EKG for abnormal heart rhythms." And I'm told "How dare you speak your opinion if you aren't a medical doctor!". And every month, more and more news comes out, hinting at the truth.

Folks, we have staggering amounts of vax damage waiting to come out and hit us where it hurts. All of you liberals who swear that this isn't true are on the wrong side of this one. This isn't an issue that you can lie away, because the damage is real, and it's in the bodies of many of the people who took the vaxxes, not the people who didn't. That won't change no matter how loudly you shout.

their entire signal is a screech of feedback generated by the endless repetition of their own unquestioned and unquestionable dogmas that they have mistaken for ideological and intellectual purity and perhaps worse: consensus.

this is the inevitable devolution of the woke virus. it took the post modern/morally relative deconstructionism modalities and added to them non-interrogable salients that transformed them into something akin to a secular jihadi religion.

but they do not realize that they have done this. so they think these arbitrary and nonsensical belief sets are the output of some rigorous and valid selection process not the interminable shouting down of any opposition.

it's just another totalitarian movement but accelerated and made more pernicious by its own lack of awareness that it is a totalitarian movement.

so it breaks the brains of all within it forcing projection and hallucination to resolve the massive cognitive dissonance of quite literally being every single thing they purport to hate.

you need to twist yourself into some pretty dire pretzels to avoid acknowledging that.

these people have driven themselves insane.

and the suppression of debate makes them think that others agree with them.

and i don't think there is any rational way to reach them anymore.

this seems to be the path such people must endlessly walk. they attack, vilify, hector, and hate because, um, they are the side of goodness, light, and rationality.

it’s really quite the transposition.

this is the nature of a cognitive dissonance spiral.

the more insane, aggressive, and hateful they become, the more insane, aggressive, and hateful they must call us in order to avoid the self-examination that would shatter the false sense of self they have created to cast themselves as the heroes of this morality play: for this would destroy them utterly.

they may not be questioned because deep down they know they have no answers but the admission of this would amount to self-abnegation and annihilation.

they have no real self, no real center. they are the activism they inhabit and they must therefore protect it to the last breath because in most truly meaningful ways, they will die if they lose it.

it makes every issue into a seeming existential treat. this is why they go so disproportionately wild when challenged. they will use this hair trigger rage as a weapon seeking to deter others from saying them nay.

but this only matters if you care.

and the time has come to stop.

it's only going to keep getting worse as they keep losing

the pathologies will only intensify as will the desperate need to cling to the totems of their failing faith.

but demanding acquiescence to tantrum is not a valid stance.

and it’s time to start seeing this for what it is and calling it by name. ...

they perceive anything other than themselves and the savage screech of echo chamber feedback that has come to constitute their mindscape and praxis as hellacious, evil, and assaultive and so the more they attack you, the more they will feel themselves attacked.

and rational engagement with this is a mistake.

it will demand to be so engaged and it will mistake itself for reasoned and reasonable.

but it isn’t.

this is a severed and sputtering live wire.

it’s not something you want to touch.

instead, recognize it for what it is: a self-serving, self-centered ideology cum pathology that has driven its more vigorous adherents quite literally mad in a manner that will only accelerate as more and more as the underpinnings of the power base it once provided erode from beneath their feet.

the inhabitants of this delusion will experience reversion to normality as deprivation and invasion. they will mistake the cessation of their noise for din.

this has been a grand abeline paradox in which the majority wound up adhering to a “consensus” that almost none actually believed because they assumed it was what “the group wanted” and humans nearly always fail the asch conformity test, especially when you add in the relentless pressure to comply and apply the cancel culture penalty for failure to do so.

that’s why they do it. the point is to silence dissent. the point is to keep the group from knowing its own mind.

but it’s over. the spell has broken and our speech and and sense of community have returned from this societal kidnapping.

all one need do to break this spell is keep talking.

there was no consensus, only the illusion thereof and we’ve crossed the rubicon into the part where the harder they push it, the more we’ll all push back and the more foolish they will look. it’s just strident streisand effect. it’s a defeated magician whose trick was long since revealed trying to stuff a bunny into a hat that cannot hold it.

this is not “reactionary” it’s “restorative” and the implication that somehow responding to direct assault makes you the bad guy is logical and ethical inversion.

this is self defense.

we are simply taking back society, speech, rights, and association for the people and breaking the cults of compulsion wrought by those who would force us to be remade in images we do not resemble or desire.

we have been made to feel as though were were drowning in the deluge of woke and worrywart imposition.

but this water was never over our heads.

we were only made to believe that this was so.

simply put your feet down firmly and stand up.

it’s pretty obvious once you see it.
