The part of Dora's tweet that stands out the most to me was the helpless part - WE WERE NOT HELPLESS. Personal responsibility is a key component to managing any type of exposure.

The helpless narrative is what the Liberals feed on and spread with their fear porn. This is the same crap they are selling minorities - you are helpless and even though it was our past policies that marginalized you, we will demonize another group and now take care of you.

Yup, typical progressives.

Keep feeding them propaganda that they are helpless and only the gov't can help them.

A local employer here with 400 employees had 50 positives...so they sent the rest of their 350 employees to the ERs and hospitals to get tested. This is the kind of stupidity we are dealing with. This is why we have doctors and nurses quitting. This is the kind of sh-t Dora is causing with her constant "Code Red" pronouncements. This is why people can't get care for real problems. I'm done f-cking around with this.

People are still doubling down and going BSC. I almost understand those extra cautious back in May of 2020. Maybe even December of 2020 before vaccines, just waiting until then. If you were higher risk. Sure. 95% of people should still have lived life 100% as normal in December of 2020.

I cannot imagine a single person now who took the vaccine(we all know those who didn't would act normal anyways) and didn't say f*** it, it's time to live life as normal again. Meaning no rules, mitigation, no masks, no treating it any differently than if you got the flu in 2017. I cannot understand these people.

What you are saying is 100% obvious. The question is, what % of the population realizes that now? Maybe 50%? If we are lucky?

I've said it before but it's worth being repeated.

The thing that really disturbs me the most about all of this is how quickly massive portions of the population immediately abandon all reason and rational analysis. They immediately went to eleventy on the fear and and hysteria. And part of it all was a complete abandonment of any sort of personal responsibility, self-reliance, or live & let live ethos- it immediately went to "govern me harder daddy." There is a huge percentage of the population who wants, maybe even craves, what they perceive as a somewhat benevolent authoritarian (well, benevolent if you agree with them) regime which controls virtually everything and if you just go along with their absurd canards you'll be just copacetic. But if you dare move out of lockstep everything about your life is attacked- not just social media but your family, your home, your livelihood, and your very individuality.

Y'all may think it's hyperbole and couldn't happen here but if the **** going on in Australia or these bastions of "progressive" authoritarians on the East & West Coast can't spread wholesale here you're whistling past the graveyard. The fact Dora hasn't been ridden out of town on a rail is proof of this.

God warned the Israelites they didn't want a King. Israelites demanded a king. Then they regretted having many kings. It is funny how life proves how many of the tales in the bible are much more reasonable then just a first read might suggest.

You know, with CNN, the CDC, etc. coming out in the past 24 hours or so with all kinds of new data, I can just say that it's good to know I've been right the whole damn time.

I'd like to think I'm just ahead of the curve is all. Y'all remember the curve, right?

The audacity of these people. There's piles and piles of documentation coming out showing how the covidians among the elected officials, bureaucrats, and media have colluded to squash real data and how they've put forth all kinds of misinformation and legitimate doctors and researchers who pose questions and present data contrary to their approved narrative and they want to censor others.

Perhaps if they hadn't lied their freaking asses off and communicated better we might believe them.

i really like the current lie that cloth masks that worked for delta no longer work for omicron

because the particle size changed all of a sudden

Control the narrative! No dissenting voices!

These people just can't help themselves? I cannot understand the end game with maskers? N95s are so impractical, and have already failed in Germany and a couple of other countries with regards to spread anyways. Just amazes me how data illiterate these people are. Even if masking worked, I still can't understand those that think it's better for society.

It's almost like it's the crowd that was born a bit anti social, and feel safe behind it. Or just became so indocrinated with regards to masking they have literally forgotten what life was life before masks. A normal, mentally healthy individual that is accepting of reasonable risk/reward vs absolute risk zero at all costs, that wants to socially interact with human beings the way that was inborn in us want nothing to do with masking. Maskers are a cult, and a weird group of people.

I laugh every time I see a person with a beard and an N95. Rule #1 is clean shaven.

i will never wear an N95, nor will my children

I think it's actually pretty simple. Most of these people's lives generally have no purpose, outside of complaining about politics on twitter. Wearing a mask gives them a badge of honor and an internal sense of superiority over people who don't wear them, that they can then internet high five other people who share the same absurd viewpoint.
