Some of my Coronamania stories are long. This one isn’t.
Someone I know’s nephew lives in Seattle. The nephew recently got married in an outdoor wedding in Grand Teton National Park. Eleven people attended. The groom disinvited his own mother because she was unvaxxed. BTW, the bride and groom had already had Covid, perhaps because the jabs damaged their immune systems.
News of the shots’ ineffectiveness probably hadn’t reached the newlyweds. Inhabitants of the Pacific Coast Autonomous Zone may resemble those Japanese soldiers stationed on remote Pacific islands during World War II, who spent months following Japan’s surrender thinking the War was still going on and lashed out at Americans who told them the truth.
And they (the couple) lived happily ever after.
Though probably not; it’s hard to be happy when you’re so anxious. And who knows what long-term effects the shots might have? Stay tuned to NPR for updates about vaxx injuries. But if that’s where you get your news, you’ll be the last to know.
Over the past two-plus years, I’ve written a series of personal stories chronicling the profound stupidity that has been—and still is—the Covid overreaction. This stupidity is as deep as the Grand Canyon.
OK, maybe that metaphor misstates proportion. I’ve been in the Grand Canyon. The Coronamania stupidity is actually much deeper. Seeing government officials still pushing the jabs, and millions still wearing masks, the Corona stupidity just might be bottomless. We’ll see.
The rest of this week’s post should write itself. If you find it in your heart, please post in the Comments an especially crazy or sad Coronamania story you’ve experienced, witnessed or heard. Please write concisely: the less words you use, the more people will read it. If you want to tell a story anonymously, you can e-mail it to me at forecheck32 at g mail and I’ll post it without your name. Please paste the story into the e-mail so I don’t have to click on a link. But it’s best to just write directly in the Comments.
The teller of the most astounding/dumbfounding story gets a year’s free subscription to my Substack. But then, so does everyone else. Just write to chronicle how badly people have overreacted during the past 28 months.
Thanks for sharing, if you do.

Note to those who have commented: These stories have been great! They’re varied, short and to the point. A combination of funny and sad.
But mostly sad. Extremely sad.
It’s important to record what’s happened and to eternally shame the architects of this Scam and all who mindlessly bought it and facilitated it by going along with a series of measures that made no sense, except as political and economic opportunism.
If you have more stories, please add them.
Thanks.
From a reader:
I'd like to be anonymous for this story, as I am still at this event.
I am a musician. Every year I attend a brass chamber music workshop at a university in Northern California. I am currently here. As I am not boosted, will not be boosted and am sorry I got the first 2 jabs, I was not going to be allowed to go this year without the booster. I finally got them to relent and also accept vaxx + having had covid + a negative test.
This is a 2 week event and there are about 80 people each week. About a dozen of us stay for the whole 2 weeks. So, every day we put 4-10 people each in small classrooms where we blow brass instruments at each other. Then on our breaks when we go outside it is highly suggested that we mask. (I haven't and will not put on a mask) There are also people here that wear "music masks". These are masks with holes in them to put your mouthpiece through. Wrap your head around that. A mask with a hole in it.
The level of fear and mis-information with this group of people is astounding. I feel like I'm the only sane person in the asylum.
Mine is a real doozy. But it's short and sweet.
A nation of over 350 million people suddenly forgot how scientific inquiry works and, armed with this handicap, allowed their government to strip them of civil liberties essential to that nation's character and enshrined in its earliest documents, severely damaging the health and lives of its citizens, especially its children, and creating ongoing social upheaval whose economic impact can be counted in the billions.
The citizens of this country allowed the entire government that did this to remain in power, and not a single individual at any level has faced disciplinary or criminal consequences for their behavior.
I know, it sounds unbelievable, but I saw it myself.
