Hello Mark and thank you for another great post.😊

I think when the 'pandemic' ends depends on where one is. I'm in Missouri and all the mask mandates have been gone since before Halloween. The attorney general has been a busy bee and he is one of the ones taking the employer vaxx mandate to the supreme court. He's won all the cases to stop mask mandates, including in schools. The statehouse passed legislation barring vaxx passports over a year ago. And just before Thanksgiving the governor officially declared the emergency over.

I hear similar stories from people in other red states.

Don't let the blues give you the blues 😉.

Brilliant!

Problem is, the people who need to read and understand this, are neither reading nor understanding these points. :(

Excellent piece. Sums up perfectly what folks should have been thinking all along. Thanks for writing it and for your blog. It is much appreciated.

It's hard to fight fear and hysteria once it takes a hold of a society.

As one whose career has been affected by the vaccine mandates, it would be nice to see the madness go away but I remain pessimistic. The mass formation psychosis is strong, even amongst my PhD holding family members. No amount of sharing of statistics or real world observations seems to matter. I guess I shouldn't be surprised as I remember having a friend who joined a religious cult in the '80s and no matter how strongly we tried to reason and debate with her, the grip was too strong. Eventually, she killed herself. It was tragic and I see the parallels now and it disturbs me greatly.

I can now, in a small way, understand what the non-hypnotized German people of the '30s must have felt. Unfortunately, it "only" took 15 or so years for that madness to end.

Great post. Happy New Year! (And I don't know about you, but MY last year was pretty fantastic. I didn't know I had so much weight to drop, but boy do I feel lighter now that I've lost all those vaccine segregationists. Nobody can rob us of our contentment and lack of fear, but nothing makes a tyrant madder than that, eh?)

I am amazed at how many people are not studying anti-Covid therapeutics. I can understand such passivity from people who believe The Narrative (they are hopeless) but I cannot understand it from skeptics. I have an overweight friend, skeptical but took the vaxx so that her children would let her see her grandchildren, come down with Covid. Her treatment consists of following her PCP, that is to say, staying home and taking cold medicine. I hope she does well.

I have read The Art of War. Even before that I was a firm believer in knowing what the enemy is up to. So, a couple times a week I hold my nose and go to a handfull of blue and MSM websites to see the latest panic porn and bullfeathers they are spouting.

Starting a little before xmas I noticed something new. Stories, never lead stories, and often buried stories about people who "did everything right" - "followed the science" etc and still (of course) got covid. Often these stories talk about how these people feel shame and as if they have somehow failed, which is ridiculous, but given the narrative unsurprizing. Their judgement and moral posturing are coming back to bite them. Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of people! Today I noticed a small uptick in such stories.

Maybe this doesn't mean anything. But if people are writing about it I'm sure people are are talking about it, and word tends to get around. So maybe, just maybe, some of these people are starting to get it. If that's true it can only be a good thing.

I think, for many reasons, we are seeing "the beginning of the end." It's about time! Spring is coming.

Even after it's over though I plan NEVER to let any of these people forget what they have done and work as much as I can in my limited capacity to see that nothing like this EVER happens again.

You said it! DO NOT COMPLY

Very difficult to overcome mass psychosis--or reverse your Scientology beliefs. These people will never be saved and will keep their masks on forever. They've always been there amongst us but now they will stand out like sore thumbs in the crowd. Shun them they are a pox on NORMAL society.

Take a stand and resist people. I live in a state that has had a worthless mask mandate in place almost since the beginning. I know the CMO of the state he is a card carrying member of the religious congregation of masks and vaccines. He will not even consider a dissenting opinion as I have given him many. I have not worn a mask in months. If somebody asks me to put on my mask, I ask them to take theirs off, what are you hiding? Most of all, do not run and get tested because you get sick. The treatment is the same regardless of the cause of your illness. Testing is their greatest tool to sow fear and divide us all!

A great summary of the illogical and arbitrary nature of mitigation strategies. Here in mostly-vaccinated WA, masking is still compulsory indoors and Gov Inslee shows no signs of letting up. Most of last year, I was the only unmasked person everywhere I went. I’ve started to see a few more here and there, but not enough to make a statement or see a shift in policy. Given that we have more cases than ever, Im not sure how our governor could ever make a consistent removal of the mandate without simply admitting that he’s wrong? I think that’s the hardest part for these petty tyrants - they’d have to concede that they are the dumb ones that followed junk “science” (aka politics) and implemented livelihood crushing policies based on lies. Rather than admitting it and cutting losses, they’re digging their heels in even further. I pray that God exposes all lies and corruption and removes these wicked people from power.

Great article! Deleted all the big tech social accounts and it feels great! Also made a lot of household changes so my husband and I could afford private school for our kids just to avoid the mask mandate in OH public schools! Always asking questions and refuse to be controlled by fear and “Fauci science”

Well happy new year anyways ! I was at first into the panic too, but after a few months hearing the same story of Wuhan over and over again, it dawned on me we were drilled to believe something else than what was going on in reality. I hate masks and only wore one when I could not get into the store otherwise. I had to laugh though when it came to microbiology. A former friend is microbiologist, has always told me germs are everywhere, but NOT behind her mask LOL. And she was first in line to get the jab and scolded me for not trusting them. Then an article from the Atlantic described how bad the jabs can be, and if I needed more evidence they were no good, there it was. They also contain PEG which is a not so good shampoo ingredient, made from very poisonous parts, and at least half of the shampoos contain remnants of the poison. When I read how some batches of jabs were really deadly, I wondered if the remnants were in there too. The microbiologist proudly announced she got the booster.

Marking time is the human mind's way of molding reality. That time is circular is not an accident. Humans love repeating patterns while denying they're doing so. (It's different this time.) There's a lesson in there.

And, my philosophical tangent aside, you said what a lot of us are thinking. We need to stop being so damn helpless.
