J'aimerais tout conseil que quelqu'un en France puisse me donner. Mon père de 80 ans, qui a deux comorbités importantes, court comme tout le monde en France le risque de devenir victime du déploiement catastrophique de la vaccination. Je suis inquiète au-delà des mots.
Impossible de prendre un rendez-vous de vaccination immédiat sur l'un des sites Web où cela devrait théoriquement être possible.

Comme tout le monde le sait, ils sont bloqués ou disent que tous les rendez-vous sont réservés.
Impossible d'accéder à l'une des hotlines. Si on réussit, on n'obtient qu'un enregistrement complètement inutile.

Je crains qu'au moment où ils règlent le problème, il ne restera plus de vaccins. Et je crains également qu’il ne soit trop tard pour lui.
Pour quelqu'un comme lui, le virus serait difficile à survivre.

Je ne me pardonnerai jamais si cela se produit et je me rends compte qu'il y a quelque chose que j'ai échoué à faire. Est-ce que quelqu'un ici a réussi à naviguer cette catastrophe?
Pouvez-vous penser à quelque chose que nous n'avons pas essayé?

Certaines ont réussi à se faire vacciner en attendant une annulation dans les centres de vaccination. Je lui ai conseillé de ne pas le faire:
Il ne me semble pas judicieux de se laisser emporter dans un bâtiment mal ventilé pendant un nombre d'heures inconnu.

J'ai tellement peur de le perdre à cause de cette honteuse et meurtrière incompétence.
Je ne sais pas quoi faire. Idées?

J'ai tellement peur de le perdre à cause de cette campagne de vaccination honteusement désorganisée et incompétente.

C'est franchement criminel. Je suis furieuse. Je ne peux pas être le seul.

One day, students will pore over a volume of the most consequential oratory in US history. From Patrick Henry ("Give me liberty or give me death!") to Lincoln's second inaugural, to MLK's "I have a dream" ... and then they'll come across this one. aljazeera.com/news/2021/1/11…
And these kids will look at each other, in bewilderment.

They'll grasp immediately that the guy was psychotic. But they won't have the faintest clue how it came to pass that a psychotic guy had been the President for four full years.
They'll conclude it was just one of those weird things that happened in long-ago history. Like drawing and quartering. Or trials for witchcraft. But they shouldn't. This should be taught as a cautionary tale to every generation of students, everywhere, forever.

Propublica's article (with an extensive video trove from Jan. 6) suggests they're shocked by the banality of the rioters:

"The radical fringe is a cause for concern. The thousands of regular people whipped into a murderous rage is the real nightmare."

propublica.org/article/inside…
It would be tidier, emotionally, if our radical fringe didn't look so much like ordinary Americans, wouldn't it? It would make them easier to drone.
This is the world Muslims have been living in for quite some time. Horrified by violent radicals among them, tarred by association with them, sick of being asked to denounce terrorism--

I think I'm a better person, and I hope a more humble one, for having seen my country go mad. I'll always remember it when I consider human nature. Or geopolitics. Perhaps we all will. So we got that.

Maybe it wasn't worth it, but let's appraise the positive outcomes.
I used to be extremely prideful about being American. I truly thought us (now, at least) immune from these kinds of descents into madness. Pride goeth and all that. Now I know better.
It hasn't made me cynical, but it's certainly made me aware that one must *never* take a stable democracy for granted. Or civilization.

I think this is psychologically unrealistic. I agree that this is what should happen, morally. But it's extremely unlikely.

We all have trouble fully believing what's happened, even though we can describe it. You've said many times, "It's a cult."

Yes. It is. Ergo--
--The belief system isn't rational. Heaven's Gate members didn't revise their beliefs because extraterrestrials didn't contact them when the Comet Hale-Bopp passed. To the contrary.

Adherents to a cult won't renounce it no matter what happens.
It's meeting psychological needs at a very different level from any part of the brain with which we can have a debate.

You've observed many times, I think, that this is a cult, yet you can't quite believe it: You're still trying to remonstrate with the adherents. It won't work.

Mesmerizing, eerie photo of Washington for this article. By Stefani Reynolds, who doesn't seem to be on Twitter--probably a good decision--but if someone knows her, tell her I thought this photo was a true work of art. nytimes.com/2021/01/16/us/…
I can't stop looking at it: the composition, the color, the beauty and the sense of menace. Tells a whole story without a single human face. I wonder how much of that was accidental and how much of it Reynolds' genius? I always wonder about that, with photography--
even though it's clear that some photographers have many more happy accidents than others, and thus that photographs like this aren't an accident.

The blockbuster claim is, "The U.S. government has reason to believe that several researchers inside the WIV became sick in autumn 2019, before the first identified case of the outbreak, with symptoms consistent with both COVID-19 and common seasonal illnesses." But ...
The phrasing is weird. The US government has reason to believe that several researchers exhibited symptoms in August 2019 consistent *both* with Covid19 and "common seasonal illnesses." Does this mean they have reason to believe researchers had a cold?
It's not a blockbuster claim unless there's special reason to think these were Covid19 symptoms. People used to get colds all the time--before we all went into lockdown and began compulsively sanitizing ourselves.
