We need to stop labeling dissidents as "conspiracy theorists

Post Reply New Topic

I will quote myself to explain something that our news keeps saying which are complete lies.

"Get the vaccine so one is not a danger in spreading the virus to others."

Now vaccines do nothing to stop one spreading viruses. They never have and they never will. All it means is the one who has had the vaccine has an immune system that is or should be better able to cope with the virus or disease that one is vaccinated against. Even if they were able to 100% vaccinate the whole worlds population, the virus would still survive and be passed on from person to person. It just means that the people have a head start if they catch the virus.


Another lie I heard on our local Welsh news several months ago when they were reeling out the vaccines like mad was that they stated that they had already been able to vaccinate 78% of the population and they urged the rest to come forwards when called.

Then a few days ago they said "Only 40% of the population of Wales has been vaccinated and there were concerns that people were not coming forwards".

So what is it? 78% or 40%? Were they lieing before and telling the truth now? Or were they telling the truth now and lieing then?

The problem is when we keep being lied to, we then start to believe there is a hidden agenda behind it.

It's becoming more and more apparent that getting a double vaccine isn't going to be enough to for us to be fred from these idiotic, draconian lockdowns.

Just wait for your second dose and ignore all restrictions afterwards. If a guard tells you to put a mask on in a shop just ignore them.

It's very patronizing and a massive stifling of very much needed nuanced discourse by affirming one and only one position and narrative, and branding all deviance and dissent from the official narrative as dissent. Right now we're finding out that Fauci is a corrupt scumbag who put a lid on many of the details of the Coronavirus, that masks don't actually work, and lo and behold Covid-19 escaped from a lab - basically what the "conspiracy theorists" were arguing for a long time.

Look let me just put it out there: of course there are legitimately idiotic conspiracy theorists. Of course QAnon peddles some outrageous drivel that makes even me nauseate. And of course David Icke is crazy and so is Alex Jones

But not everyone who questions the mainstream or orthodox is David Icke or Alex Jones. Given the corruption of the media, the level of censoriousness that pervades this country, of course the official narrative for everything will seem the most trustworthy when facts that contradict it are censored and suppressed.

Im not saying every and any conspiracy theory is right because the mainstream is always wrong; all I'm saying is that the mainstream isn't necessarily right and that sometimes what may sound crazy can actually be true.

The idea of a conspiracy itself isn't too farfetched. Didn't the cabal that assassinated Julius Caesar, was that not a conspiracy? In the dramatized play of that event written by Shakespeare there was a scene where a man with a letter tried to warn Caesar of his impending death by the assassins, and Caesar dismissed it in modern parlance as nothing but a conspiracy. If Caesar were alive today and the paper warning of his assassination were to circulate, modern day fact checkers and truth monopolizers would insist that the letter is "fake news" and ban it....until the assassination happens and everyone who scoffed at it as a conspiracy is made to look like an idiot.

US—The United States is experiencing the worst shortage of conspiracy theories in decades as all of them have come true in recent weeks.

Long lines are forming outside most underground book stores and Ra Shops across the country and perennial tin-foil-hat-wearers are getting worried.

“I don’t know what to do, I’ve never not had a conspiracy theory to keep me going,” Roger Thornehill of Chicago said. “What am I going to stay up until 4 in the morning worrying about if they’re uncovering all the conspiracies? I’m freaking out over here.”

Recent revelations have uncovered massive fraud in the 2020 election and US involvement in the development of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Everyone just wrote these off as theories a few weeks ago. Now it’s coming to light that they really happened,” Thornehill said, sweating profusely.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has issued a state of emergency after Florida Man did nothing crazy all day for the first time ever.

Former Vice President Biden issued a statement that there will be “plenty of new conspiracy theories produced shortly,” and “not to worry.”

“What if they’re just exposing all these conspiracies to cover up an even worse conspiracy?” Thornehill added.

Sounds like a good way to get kicked out and banned.

Whelp...back to Reddit I go....

If half of people in the shop do it they're in for a handful.

We need to stop labeling dissidents as "conspiracy theorists".

Once, shame on me, Twice, Kant get fooled again!

Why? What's so "draconian" about wearing a mask?

At least the shop is allowed to be open.

Until the vast majority of the population has been vaccinated, requiring everyone in the shop to wear a mask makes sense. Otherwise, the shop would need to pay someone to do nothing but keep an eye on everyone in the store to make sure that everyone who isn't wearing a mask has a vaccination card. Requiring everyone in the store to wear a mask is much simpler and less costly.

Facemasks can do a little but they can also trap viruses in the material so it is a bit of a mixed blessing. What they do do is protect other people if you have the virus.

Facemasks therefore are worn to lessen the spread of the virus if one happens to be carrying it. It is why in the Far East where places like China have always worn facemasks, they will wear them if they happen to have a cold or a runny nose. They do not normally wear them if they don't.

And that's the point of requiring people to wear masks.


The problem with requiring people to wear masks only if they have the virus is that a lot of people are asymptomatic and don't know they have it. So, to limit the spread of the virus, it is necessary to require everyone to wear a mask.

We determined secondary attack rates (SAR) among close contacts of 59 asymptomatic and symptomatic coronavirus disease case-patients by presymptomatic and symptomatic exposure. We observed no transmission from asymptomatic case-patients and highest SAR through presymptomatic exposure. Rapid quarantine of close contacts with or without symptoms is needed to prevent presymptomatic transmission.

You may want to revise that claim...Asymptomatic doesn't appear to be an issue (according to a study published by the CDC).

Pre-symptomatic, may be, though.
