Lockdowns: The Great Gaslighting

Typhoid Mary was an Irish-born American cook believed to have infected between 51 and 122 people with typhoid fever. The infections caused three confirmed deaths, with unconfirmed estimates of up to 50. She was the first person in the United States identified as an asymptomatic carrier of the pathogenic bacteria Salmonella typhi. And this caused the health officials to have little to no idea of how to deal with someone in her position.

Talk about gaslighting.

Hmmm.

I think there are lessons to be learned, for sure, and it's a good thing to revisit and figure out where things could have been done better. There are some good reports coming out. There certainly was overreach and mistakes made.

BUT

The idea that lockdowns, vaccines, COVID policies in general were the purview of the LEFT only is patently absurd and rewriting history.

Absolute nonsense.

I was mocking the vaccine. All it will do for you is give you a sore arm. And I was mocking him for thinking he needs a vaccine to survive. This is a garbage product, and you won't catch me injecting it into me. I'd sooner inject heroin, at least that would give me a high! And I won't isolate either, because COVID is no big deal. It's the sniffles. If you're worried about COVID, I'd suggest some professional help, counseling.

Oh lordy. You are clueless and it's obvious you're listening to some pandering politician over sound medical advice, I've looked in the eyes of hospitalized sick children. Babies with RSV are heartbreaking. I'm sure you haven't watched a child being placed on a ventilator or die in your life. Good for you, because those little eyes still haunt my dreams. You are not everyone, and the fact that you can't see beyond your narrative is disturbing.

I don't need counseling. I have a bad heart, and we know that Covid can damage organs. I follow my cardiologist's advice. He was one of my coworkers for decades. You get a leg up on these things when you see how good or bad a physician is by working with them.

Yep getting sick is a part of life, but, only a fool stands in the path of a tornado.

I know how sick I was the first time I had this mysterious wheezing disease in September of 2019. It was was 8 weeks of hell and I believe it was an early version of Covid. It was found in our blood supply in December of 2019, which means it was circulating before that.

I had Covid again in the summer of 21 post vaccination. I had GI problems once. It felt like a cold and I lost my sense of smell for about two weeks. It was not that serious.

Seriously, read something intelligent vs propaganda and spin from a source that only wants to keep you donating and on their side.



(Sorry so late with this. I've been working like crazy getting Halloween down and the house cleaned up. It's an insane amount of work and should be finished today.)
