I’ve written about 25 stories/essays about Coronamania. Sometimes I’ve thought that a given post is my last, because I have nothing else to say; or because enough people are finally seeing they’ve been scammed, and this 22 month charade/nightmare is about to end. I’d very much like for the latter scenario to be true.
Thank you once again, writers like yourself have helped keep me sane in these insane times. I’ve often wondered over the last two years why ppl that call themselves Christian are so terrified of a virus. I’m a follower of Christ and I believe our days are numbered by God, we don’t die prematurely(Psalm 139:16). We should be an example to the world that we fear not and live our lives. Not that we do stupid things with the bodies we’re given, but not to cower in fear either. The reality is we will all die someday, no amount of meds or jabs will prevent that day. We’re all terminal, use the time given wisely. God bless and Merry Christmas!
Up until 2 years ago, my 80+ year old parents were enjoying their lives eating out, visiting friends and family and traveling. Now they wear masks, keep getting vaccinated with Covid shots and boosters in addition to pneumonia and flu shots. They avoid talking about Covid because they know how I feel about this scamdemic but I see the fear and how they are slowly isolating themselves from the world. No data or articles will change their minds. I can only pray that Fauci and his cronies will be held accountable for their crimes against humanity.
I just found out that, as an unvaccinated person, I have to test negative to go to my wife's family xmas. My initial inclination is to simply not go, but, upon reflection, I think I will test and say goodbye to them forever, in person. I see no reason to remain here in California, just to be near family, if the family has turned itself into a bunch of pharmazombies.
Thanks for the writeup, Mark. I hope your Holidays are going to be more uplifting than mine.
I visited some elderly relatives in Florida recently. None of them were masked and although I didn't ask, it sounded like they weren't jabbed either. We went out to eat several times in restaurants that were crowded with every table filled. No masks. No social distancing. No vaccine checks or QR codes. In short, normal.
Removing traditional religion from schools and society in general was a specific CCP/UN/Marxist tactic. Climate change and Covid obedience have filled the well created void. They will never find peace on earth from here on in. Fear not to all others.
Thank you. Worth a reread as I skimmed. You’ve been one of an increasing number who have helped keep me sane during these times. I’m so grateful for your effort. I’m an RN in New Brunswick so your close proximity somehow makes it all the more meaningful. I’m so sad for people like the masked visitors. Superficial Christianity has been making my eyes roll for years but strangely (or perhaps not at all) I’ve felt my faith in Christ’s love for humanity all the more during these times. We are loved. Those who fail to recognize that are so obviously betraying that by giving into what seems more and more like pure evil. Merry Christmas! And thank you!
“As for the leper who has the disease, his garments should be torn and his head should be left ungroomed and he should cover over his mustache and call out, ‘Unclean, unclean!’ He will be unclean the whole time that he has the disease. Since he is unclean, he should live in isolation. His dwelling place will be outside the camp.”
“And look! a leper came up and did obeisance to him, saying: ‘Lord, if you just want to, you can make me clean.’ And Jesus quickly donned his N95 face mask and turned the leper away, instructing him to receive his holy vaccination.”
If you put a little mustache on Fauci, who is he a spitting image of? Hint: German war criminal. Mathew, this post is so sad. These criminals have ruined the "golden years" for so many. How did we become such cowards? Especially those with faith, who have paradise awaiting their arrival. Why can't the majority people think for themselves? The tribe mentality is a very tough nut to crack, thank you for your continued efforts and Merry Christmas!
This is so very depressing. And a scene likely repeated thousands of times. My guess is there are Covidians (because it’s replaced their former religion for many - maybe most) that see these stories as a “heartwarming sign of the times.”
I know a couple in their mid 80’s that have barely stopped throughout the insanity. They had their friends over the whole time, they had house parties with their similarly aged friends, hosted Thanksgiving and went to restaurants as soon as they re-opened. I envy them. As the man in the couple told me “I gotta die sometime and it’s not hiding in my house with a piece of cloth over my face.” Luckily his group felt the same way. None got hospitalized, some got Covid most for the vax but none got the boosters. These people don’t live in a Free State. They are in Massachusetts.
Meanwhile people I know in their 40’s are still masked up. Won’t go into a restaurant. Hide in their homes. Mask their kids. Get boosted and boosted again. And then shove the dangerous drugs into the children.
We’ve lost some people forever to lunacy. But those of us left - we gotta keep it up. Free states are showing the way - but so are some smart people fighting the fight in the Tyranny States.
I'm not a Christian and have huge problems w/ organized religion in general. However, I have often wondered this pre-pandemic and now I'm often fixated on it: "If God sent his son so believers may have eternal life, why all the Covid fear among believers?"
Don't get me wrong. This isn't a problem just with Christians. We have a society that in many circumstances takes death so lightly, but somehow when it comes to COVID, not only can we not die, but we can't even be sick. We've forgotten that there's a difference between living and surviving, and normally, I wouldn't care. Live your life huddled in a cave. It's no skin off my nose. But these days they've made it my problem by taking this terror of something that is ultimately unavoidable and unpleasant no matter when or how it happens (death) and making not dealing with it in a healthy manner a virtue.
One aspect of this whole charade that makes me more forgiving of people (like the masked married couple who visited your aunt & uncle) is that I'm convinced many have just been so conditioned to "do the right thing" and "protect others" that they know no better. While for some this is merely virtue signaling, for others this may just be misplaced virtue. Many good people long to serve and help others-- the problem is that they've trusted the words of people who truly appear to be without virtue. What can one do, except say, "You're free to remove your masks here; it's absolutely up to you and I'm not afraid of you, friend."
Mark, found my way here from lewrockwell. Yeah, I want the writing class too.
Since late spring I’ve managed to find some freedom oriented meetings in north central texas. Not knowing what to expect, it was kind of a revelation to be in a room or church with like minded peeps. In one meeting Ken Paxton, the texas attorney general, spoke. Another had Shelley Luther, the lockdown defying hair salon owner. These meetings leave me with a smile pasted on my face. They’re similar to picking up our processed pigs from the local processor. Big smile from down deep.
Last week I found another genuine smile generating event. My wife doesn’t like bbq but I do. So, I can eat it alone or do without and eat together. Eat together it is until we had a recent visitor. Our niece loves texas and bbq so we went to three of them. Lo and behold the three eateries made for an ethereal experience. I’d kinda forgotten the magic of killer bbq.
As a bonus, no masks, all happy people getting along politely enjoying the killer bbq. These places were an oasis for me like the meetings I’ve been attending. If Karen/Ken was there I’m pretty sure they forgot their causes for a moment, looked around and became one with others on this particular fine day.
The point is food brings people together. What if the huge difference in people today could be bridged by sharing worthy food? Whatever part of the world one is in, fabulous food is likely available. What if folks of wildly differing opinions could be coaxed into eating real food together? What’s the worst that could happen?
This is exactly correct. I once told a terrified "Christian" in an online exchange who was advocating for excluding unvaccinated people from churches, that I doubted he really believed in eternal life. Perhaps not kind, but true. It's astonishing to see even Christians falling for this crap and living in fear. However I am heartened by the fact that the resistance movement is very disproportionately Christian even in Canadian society where Christians are rarer than hen's teeth.

we are living in interesting times. I feel like the planet has turned into an insane asylum.
Seriously, I encounter some of the most unusual responses. I believe common sense no longer exists

This is from the New King Anthony version, 2021.

Pseudo Medical Burkas. Awesome. When does your writing class begin?

Mark, you are truly a gift from God to your readers, wishing you and your family a blessed holiday & New Years !💕🐱💕
Great post. A pleasure to read and ponder.
