THREAD:

I've been constantly railing against the *reporting* of COVID, and how poorly the media is in keeping any semblance of honesty and integrity.

Michael Crichton wrote in "State of Fear", “Nothing is so firmly believed as that which is least known.”

A few months ago I shared a message from the PR campaign inside the UK. This is the organization (SAGE) that prepared the guidelines and recommendation to "sufficiently threaten" the public.

Here is the PDF:

SAGE put together an entire playbook on population behavior control in the age of COVID, and fed it to the media, who relayed the message in dutiful fashion.

Here's a rundown of how it got played out in the UK in perfect lockstep:

We've seen the escalation over the past few months in a very scary pattern:

A problem exists
A "worst case" computer model demonstrates horrific futures
Pundits wonder that we "could have to change our behavior."
Model numbers are used as justification, and rules are made

4/

(cont.)

Numbers are revised, recalculated, discounted.
Behavioral rules are *not* rescinded.
Social peer pressure begins.
Language changes; suddenly this was always inevitable courses of action
Justification is now, "Believe the scientist" rather than "believe the science"

5/

Once that behavior is attained, it's on to reporting the next, new "solution." Which is vaccines.

Vaccines rushed into production, as if dev times have always been simply lallygagging along for every other medication. Now, just eliminate safeguards.

This is not political. Even "conservative" organizations are calling for bypassing scientific methods and assurances. This is the Washington Examiner, demanding that the vaccine be fast-tracked:

We're now starting to hear the preparatory language for the vaccine, just like we did for masks, and shutting down businesses before that:

Here's the New England Journal of Medicine "Perspective":

8/

Here's @Newsweek preparing you for the oncoming requirements:

9/

Remember, there IS NO VACCINE yet. When it does come, because of the pressure to "fast-track," there will be far more *unknown* about it than what is known. There is no "one size fits all" approach, and there can actually be vaccines that make the problem *worse*.

10/

Nevertheless, here comes the @nytimes - that "bastion" of Truth and Integrity - already associating those who question the efficacy of a rushed vaccine as complete and utter tosshats:

11/

Not to mention Bill Gates, who is neither an elected official or a medical professional, "educating" the masses on how to create a rushed vaccine "safely:"

12/

What's horrifying is that the very same arguments can be made about forcing people to take a vaccine that could harm them that we were doing for masks, closing down businesses, arresting surfers and beach joggers, and those who sit in their cars in a church parking lot.

13/

"You're being selfish."
"You don't know if you're sick."
"You're a murderer if you don't close down your business/wear a mask/take a vaccine."

Regardless of the excuse, it will be your "civic duty" to take the vaccine.

Meanwhile, Gates has been priming the pump for *months* about needing digital certificates, immunization passports, and the like. We already have contact tracing apps and chips being required for work. For professional reasons, I can't name names, but it's draconian to me.

15/

So now it's "a given" there's a "Phase 2". Somehow we went from "it may happen" to "we're in the middle of it" w/ a drastic change from counting "death rate" to "cases." More shutdowns, more lockdowns, more peer pressure, more control.

Next step, "forced vaccines-as-given"

16/

Take a look at this video. It's only 2 minutes, all the way to the end is where things really are illuminating. Notice how the language is how taking the vaccine is a normal course of action, even before one is even developed.

17/

That registration for each individual injection *will* be used as a tracking database. It is no longer a matter of whether or not it *could* lead to privacy violations, but *when*.

It's the foundation for Gates' immunization passport, the "certificate."

18/

We have already through HIPAA rules out the window. I went to the doctor last week and the receptionist was asking me personal health information questions in front of everyone in the waiting room.

Screw your privacy, I have a policy to comply with!

19/

So then what? What happens if your revocation of permission to ingress/egress a workspace is not enough? The chipping of your phone or contact tracing app is already here. And this is just for COVID.

After all what *other* motivation could the gov want you to be tracked?

But don't you worry. The next one will be worse. And then you'll *really* see just how selfish you're being.

Right now Australia is forcibly locking down residents in tenements under the guise of "for their protection," and this outright hostage-taking/kidnapping is not being challenged *anywhere*.

gab.com/DaveCullen/pos…

22/

Even this isn't as frightening as the willing capitulation of people to sacrifice their autonomy, independence, and personal bodily integrity. I fear a "Charge of the Light Brigade" attitude - follow orders *just because*, even though it knowingly leads to self-destruction.

23/

We are being told to accept too much on faith.

Accept the numbers, even after they're exposed as unreliable.

Accept the policies, "just because" someone, somewhere, "may" get hurt.

Accept the oppression, "for the greater good."

And so on. But... how much is "too much?"
