One thing that this age of 4G narcissism has accomplished is that it has revealed just how low we can go as a species. We get a front row seat to all sorts of behavior that we would never have believed anyone capable of.

Beyond freakish

Imagine being this middle-aged moral husk of a man, taking a selfie, and urging others to do to their kids what he’s done to his. A level of zero-point, gutter narcissism that far too many people operate at. This is the Freudian death drive in full flower. A terminal cultural rot that has festered for decades. This is the result of millions of people raised with no regard for character development. Generation upon generation who have had their most base, hedonistic instincts stimulated, with no regard or attention given to the development of more human qualities. Hedonism and vanity is exalted, and here is the result.

The metaverse will make you forget the chains you’ll wear

So strange to me how quickly the cyberpunk world of fiction is becoming a reality. I don’t like the message and intent behind this push to build up these digital realities and then herd everyone into them as quickly as possible. This looks like another digital drug designed to addle the mind to a degree that no one hooked up to it would much care about hard-to-understand topics like public policy. Go to work, go home, plug in, zone out. For the rest of your life. They’ll make it so easy for you, too. Just watch how our phones will suddenly be equipped with AR/VR capability once this “metaverse” is established.

UK study shows fully-vaxxed individuals spread virus just as easily as unvaxxed

From The Guardian: “The results suggest even those who are fully vaccinated have a sizeable risk of becoming infected, with analysis revealing a fully vaccinated contact has a 25% chance of catching the virus from an infected household member while an unvaccinated contact has a 38% chance of becoming infected…

..The analysis further suggests that whether an infected individual is themselves fully vaccinated or unvaccinated makes little or no difference to how infectious they are to their household contacts.”

So the vaccine is worthless as a tool to stop the spread of COVID-19, as well as to prevent infection. Does it prevent severe illness? Maybe for a few months. Maybe not. But this emerging research should bury the reckless and ridiculous talking point that my being vaccinated somehow protects others. It doesn’t. At what point will it be publicly admitted that these vaccines, receptacles of public hysteria and cult-like faith, are worthless?

Massive study out of Sweden shows that Pfizer vax effectiveness wanes completely after 211 days

This large cohort study of 1.6 million Swedes, divided perfectly in half based on vax status, seems to be the nail in the coffin for the Pfizer mRNA vaccine:

“Vaccine effectiveness of BNT162b2 against infection waned progressively from 92% (95% CI, 92-93, P<0·001) at day 15-30 to 47% (95% CI, 39-55, P<0·001) at day 121-180, and from day 211 and onwards no effectiveness could be detected.”

That’s a wrap for Pfizer. Several big questions seem almost rhetorical: is the CDC really prepared to redefine the meaning of “fully vaccinated” every six months? Are those who’ve taken the first two jabs really going to roll the dice several times each year for the rest of their lives? Hell no. Even the CDC is smart enough to know that attempting to pass off two or three boosters a year, and tying employment to those boosters, would burn their remaining credibility in an instant. This massive program that has been built up so rapidly will now crumble just as rapidly. The vaccine doesn’t work and isn’t all that safe regardless. What a sham. What a total, abominable waste.
