'Left off the menu is the possibility that hesitancy & non-compliance may actually be reasonable responses to how experts & other elites have conducted themselves, both before & during the pandemic....there are many powerful & fairly straightforward reasons...[to be] suspicious'
'among populations that have a long history of neglect & mistreatment by the elite class (leading to high levels of...well-founded mistrust even before the pandemic) – '
OMFG, where was this 2 years ago, before the #MassFormationPsychosis?

'it would actually be bizarre to unquestioningly believe & unwaveringly conform to elite guidance.

This would not be a sign of cognitive health....'
'Perhaps the real mystery...is trust rather than mistrust, voluntary compliance not rebellion, effective persuasion not persistent doubt.'

'There are 3 explanations for ["waning"]:

1. The official narrative – that vaccines provided protection that wanes....
2. Vaccines provided some protection but the virus mutated....
3. Vaccines did not provide the protection...but the way data was presented led to the illusion'
'HART has previously demonstrated evidence that the claimed benefit of vaccination needs to be adjusted to account for the increased rate of covid infections seen in the first two weeks after vaccination.'
'The dishonest hiding of the increased incidence of covid infections in the first two weeks after vaccination has led to claims of vaccine efficacy that were, at least partly, based on post-infectious immunity in the susceptible population.'

I sympathize. But let's distinguish effective protections from deficient & arguably captured PH directives.
1/n
Much (most) of our successes were voluntary--our official failures through trust loss--via "noble" lies & nudges, soft then hard coercion, wishful thinking on vaxx superspreaders (Go Leafs, BC Hug Day), avoiding inconvenient data #aerosols, then division --
The West (BC) turned a triumph of voluntary compliance (80-90%) vaxx rate, into a fiasco of coercion for the remaining fraction; scandalously stalled or obstructed early treatment--theirs is a colossal, comprehensive PH failure.

theglobeandmail.com/politics/artic…

themoscowtimes.com/2022/01/17/fac…
'The sources in Ottawa and Kyiv say she [Freeland] warned that the arrest of the former president would send an antidemocratic message to the world and undermine efforts to bolster the country in the face of a threatened Russian invasion.'

HART: Health Advisory & Recovery Team (UK MDs, med scientists):
'Established western democracies are hosting the overt expression of hate – in words and deeds – directed at a minority outgroup, the likes of which have not been observed for almost a century.'
' A range of psychological ‘nudges’ have been deployed (as detailed in the Institute of Government MINDSPACE document), the most prominent ones being fear inflation, shaming and peer pressure.'
'Collectively, these three methods of persuasion may have ignited dormant authoritarian traits in many of our politicians, journalists and celebrities, empowering them to persecute the unvaccinated minority.'

Reviewing Taibbi's old Neil Young coverage at Rolling Stone...

'Denouncing truckers for "unacceptable views," Canada's Prime Minister skipped town rather than face evidence of his own unpopularity. Is neoliberalism finally cracking?'
'There may be no real-world comparison between a blood-soaked monster like Ceaușescu & a bumbling ball-scratcher like Joe Biden...or an effete pseudo-intellectual like Justin Trudeau.'
'The Berlin Wall had fallen, and Mikhail Gorbachev and George H.W. Bush had recently announced the end of the Cold War, making the end of Ceaușescu’s rule inevitable, though he couldn’t see this yet.'
