    HIV/AIDS was a death sentence in the decades prior. While you can’t directly compare that disease to COVID , it is interesting that we didn’t wear masks or force quarantine for the healthy or the sick. Nor did we make condom laws. We didn’t take children out of school and knowingly ruin people’s livelihoods. In fact quite the opposite. We educated people and America rose above and beyond in compassion and generosity as she always does.

    People understood the risk then. Why is it incomprehensible now?

    They think they're our masters, and too many citizens seem to agree. It would certainly help if they had some skin in the game when they're deciding whether to attack our freedom and autonomy. One day of this nonsense was too much, but the evidence of their errors in judgment and hypocritical actions has accreted for months, yet they persist. If evidence and reason are not enough to convince these fools to correct their course, a sledgehammer may be called for.

I don't know what to tell you man, let's hope it will go away. Your other option is a coup or targeted assassinations.
    I think they prefer to call it "flattening the curve". A "coup"? With what? Boomerangs?

What do you propose to combat this this?
    No, we don't. And that's just fine by me. COVID is everywhere. The genie is out of the bottle, the toothpaste is out of the tube. Just because an area doesn't have "cases" doesn't mean no one's getting it. Many people get it and don't even see a doctor or get tested. November 2019 was the time to be doing quarantines to keep this thing from spreading. China decided to let it permeate instead to make sure it was everyone's problem and not just theirs.

    I would agree, except that the thing doesn't really kill anybody that the flu wouldn't kill too. Except that flu kills kids and this doesn't. But we've agreed to pretend.

    Yep and they are doing a very good job, an adaption of the "Weltanschauungskrieg" technique. Not sure if you can reverse it.

    OK, don't laugh... I realise Australian gun ownership is a drop in the ocean compared with the US, but we do have more than a few pointy sticks here. I own a 'gun', if a 12 gauge 'over and under' shotgun counts. I know a fair few people who own more than a couple.

    Not that our sheepish population would ever rise up and eat our rich. Pity.

    Trolling is saying things like "marxist gibberish". I was, albeit over-simplistically, explaining a fundamental principle of the socioeconomic paradigm we happen to live in. It happens everytime the market falls into positive feedback loop (google any major crysis in the last 100 years). The rising panic created opportunity for people with exsessive resources and low moral principles to use it to their benefit. Big pharma saw an opportunity to make money, politicians to get more power, dopctors and scientists - respect, internet camwhores - fame, and so on. And the more they got out of it, the more resources they had to inflate it further. This bubble will continue to grow until it explodes, leaving the people who didn't "fit into the market" dealing with consequences. Many will die, freeing up the resources that will be used to boost the economy and start a new cycle. Middle class will get thinner, and the gap between the upper and lower class will increase even more. It's all very basic principles of capitalism, which they should have taught you in school. America doesn't have the rest of the world to bail it out anymore, so it has to eventually turn on itself. Welcome to the new world order).

    This may well be the most important video of 2020. Certainly the top three.
    I did have a chance to watch this and it was pretty interesting. I certainly enjoyed their enormous distaste for Bill and Melinda Gates.

    I already supplement with 5,000 IU daily so I’m not sure about single 100,000 in doses — not even sure to find the product they mentioned in the US.

    If I recall correctly, wasn’t Faucci one of the most ardent defenders and pushers of AZT for treating AIDS patients — despite the fact AZT was notoriously toxic and failed as a cancer treatment for this reason. Far too many AIDS patients died prematurely from being given AZT. But hey, Faucci’s a hero after all.
