'decent, compassionate people predominate on all sides of the Covid wars. Notwithstanding caricatures to the contrary, most pro-vaxxers are not stupefied sheep, and most vaccine skeptics are not frothing ignoramuses.'

'Enter each of those universes (mainstream and dissident) and it seems almost inconceivable that an intelligent, moral person could occupy the other; yet, it is so.'
'The pandemic will have been wasted if the result is a new status quo somewhere between pre-Covid normal and the new normal of techno-pharmaco-politico-corporate authoritarianism.'
Would that it were so...
'A big reckoning is coming. Yet let’s please hold in view the end goal that we serve: to welcome all as divine members of the human family....Nor can we serve our true goal by temporarily dehumanizing the enemy as a tactic of war'
'with the idea of rehumanizing them after victory is ours. No. The way we behave right now prefigures the future that shall be. '
'Someday, we will have to choose between the satisfaction of punishment, and making the wrongdoing stop. It may seem those two are often one and the same—deterrence, setting an example, and all that—but they are not always the same'
'What does accountability look like, disentangled from rewards and penalties? What does apology look like, distinct from submission? These are the questions that must come alive if we are to regroup the human family' @stuartlosaltos

“It’s rumored that the Canadian military told Mr. Trudeau in plain un-Woke Canadian English to fuck-off..”

'I mean, what else can you call it — this political Saint Vitus Dance sweeping Western Civ that seeks to destroy every constitutional liberty...life, property, and even language… this global megalomaniacal mental illness posturing as “government?”'

Many can locate an inflection point in our approach to the pandemic. For me, it was the shock of seeing the FDA, CDC & corporatist media throw their full weight behind the smearing of 2015 Nobel Prize winning medicine Ivermectin as 'horse paste'...

'In 2015, the Nobel Committee for Physiology or Medicine, in its only award for treatments of infectious diseases since six decades prior, honoured the discovery of ivermectin (IVM)...deployed against some of the world’s most devastating tropical diseases.
ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/labs/pmc/artic…
'more than 20 randomized clinical trials (RCTs) have tracked such inpatient and outpatient treatments. Six of seven meta-analyses of IVM treatment RCTs reporting in 2021 found notable reductions in COVID-19 fatalities'

With the prospect of a mysterious spike in cancers already part of the conversation (Biden), we can only hope recognition for Ivermectin is restored to its previous status of one of WHO's 15 essential medicines:
ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/labs/pmc/artic…
'Ivermectin has powerful antitumor effects, including the inhibition of proliferation, metastasis, and angiogenic activity, in a variety of cancer cells. This may be related to the regulation of multiple signaling pathways by ivermectin through PAK1 kinase.'
'On the other hand, ivermectin promotes programmed cancer cell death, including apoptosis, autophagy and pyroptosis. Ivermectin induces apoptosis and autophagy is mutually regulated.'

'All in less than one week, Israel has repealed restrictions and is backing off vaccine mandates, even as cases and deaths are hitting new highs, and implausibly so in the most vaccinated and boosted country in the world.'

'The UK has backed off too. Same in Denmark, Ireland, Finland, and Norway. Switzerland has joined in, and Sweden has rolled back its plans for a vaccine passport. Saskatchewan is ending all restrictions.'
'It is surely not a coincidence that all of this accelerated the same week as the trucker convoy formed in Vancouver and made the trek across the entire U.S./Canada border, in the snow, ending up in Ottawa and gathering many tens of thousands of citizens to protest.'

'We harshly criticized the majority of the grassroots left...for focusing any talk exclusively on the virus and the risk of infection, while saying very little about the government managing the pandemic in irrational, unjust, hypocritical and even criminal ways.'
'Faced with street protests against the pass — but which are actually directed against the entire management of the pandemic by the past two governments — the neoliberal mainstream immediately resorted to the reductio ad Hitlerum...'
