"Introduce a little anarchy, upset the established order, and everything becomes chaos.."

It was just supposed to be a line from a movie

Well, not sure how to start.

You all know things are a real mess. Not hyperbole. It’s a shit show out there on all fronts.

How can I continue my fight against covid policies in light of the state of things? Well, that’s what the powers that be want. Dabble a few crumbs (no masks for a while….but we reserve the right…) and now I am supposed to be all in Red Dawn style against Russia and forget everything of the last 2 years.

Nope.

But in deference to better voices (in my head LOL) I will just allow graphics and the fine work of others fill this post as not to get myself in trouble.

Original Antigenic Sin. Proven?

I say yes, but I am biased. I will let The Bad Cat lay it out and the paper he cites is included:

variant specific boosters fail to elicit variant specific response

Clean Up on Aisle 4!

Clean all the mask stuff up! We are on to Ukraine!

It looks like Democrats read their COVID poll numbers.

Masks Didn’t Work Anyway

Part 5,325 of the actual evidence. Not CDC baloney:

Unravelling the Role of the Mandatory Use of Face Covering Masks for the Control of SARS-CoV-2 in Schools: A Quasi-Experimental Study Nested in a Population-Based Cohort in Catalonia (Spain)

Some just can’t quit masks though:

Scott Lewis @vosdscott

State agents raided three local preschools as part of a mask enforcement move. They separated children and interviewed them without familiar adults present in isolated rooms.

“Experts” All Agree Kid Should Be Vaccinated

Well, except the very people that approved the vaccine for ages 5-11!!!

They knew it carried little benefit and plenty of side effect risk, but the pressure was too much. All voted for approval. Cowards.

Let’s see how they tried to save themselves from later issues:

The FDA slides estimated that 1 million kids in this age bracket would need to be vaccinated to save…….ONE ICU admission. One. The number 1. So 28 million = 28 or so serious cases that most resolve. Ok.

Also:

The War is Not Over

Not while this goes on:

The War in Ukraine

I will keep it short as to not alienate folks.

Yes, Russia is bad. Terrible. It’s also a failed state held together by old thinking and entrenched establishment (sound familiar?)

They have interests. Ukraine has their own country. The US has interests, etc. It’s not freedom vs unfreedom. Not in this conflict. It’s a mess we should be no where near. If they can’t drive a force 300 miles on their border, they cannot drive to Germany. Or anywhere in Europe. This conflict invalidates NATO as an agreement, as there is no need. Just my 2 cents.

Latest update best I can find:
