To anybody who knows me, my outright rejection of the 'new normal' is common knowledge . I don't want it. I refuse to partake in it. I respectfully decline to have any involvement in propagating it for others. I aren't entertaining, nor normalising this absurdity.
Where do we even begin? What began as a 3 week lockdown in March 2020 to 'flatten the curve' and limit hospitalisations has evolved into an entirely new beast; a cure that is worse than the disease. As predicted. As foretold. As we were warned. The most frustrating thing is seeing how complicit and willfully ignorant the masses are being about this; so nonchalant about a total restructuring of their lives to revolve around continual testing, wearing masks and avoiding social interaction, mass vaccination and constant surveillance, restrictions, lockdowns, vaccine passports etc.
I don't want it, any of it; I outright reject it.
To date I've faired reasonably well. I've not been tested for Covid whatsoever yet. I've not been furloughed or laid off. I haven't had to isolate. I've not been vaccinated. In truth, aside from hospitality and travel being shut down, and getting frustrated with hearing about Covid constantly, my life has been largely unaffected. I have admittedly played fast and loose with the vague "guidance" provided; that is, in respect of a "support bubble" that allows me to have visitors to my home. I've not "followed the spirit of the law" and instead have prioritised my mental health and quality of life over devolving into a neurotic jellyfish terrified of a moderately severe flu virus. That is to say, I've largely ignored the "rules" and just got on with my life as best I could. Lo and behold, I have not died. Hell, I've not even had the virus as far as I'm aware. We used to refer to "asymptomatic carriers" as "immune"; if you catch a disease and it doesn't affect you, then it's not an issue for you. When did that change?
We are now over 12 months into what was touted as a deadly pandemic that was indiscriminately killing people. Yet the death toll is nowhere near as alarming as expected:
- the UK population is 67,610,000
- total deaths mentioning Covid-19 <150,000 (0.2%)
- NHS records for Covid deaths ~86,500 (0.1%)
- For context, annual death totals for comparison:
- 2015: 539,000
- 2016: 524,000
- 2017: 533,000
- 2018: 539,000
- 2019: 527,000
- 2020: 603,000
The demographic of victims is predominantly that of all other causes of mortality (92% of Covid deaths are in those 60+ years of age (99.3% are in 40+)). The goalposts move weekly. The "science" that is used to guide policy is projections and modelling, not actual data amassed from over a year of study and observation. The fearmongering chugs along unabated. The lies, the deceit, the propaganda; it never ends.
The latest talking point is that of "vaccine passports" and the terrifying notion that everybody must receive a vaccine that has no medium to long term studies into it's side effects or adverse events, if they wish to partake in a free society. The choice becomes "bodily autonomy" or "participation in society". If you wish to not be ostracised as a de-facto selfish conspiracy theorist/anti-vaxxer, then you must take a gamble on a vaccine that could have devastating consequences on your immune system (either immediately, or at some undetermined future date), and in the same vein, help usher in the surveillance state I alluded to in the second paragraph. The "new normal" of testing, vaccines, and surveillance.
The most insane part about this, is the knowledge that the risk from Covid for myself is minimal (see www.qcovid.org for your own risk assessment; mine is 99.9994% chance I'd be fine). General consensus seems to be that if you catch Covid, you end up in ICU on ventilation with a high risk of death. That's a lie. It's outright false. The reality is that the majority of people will never even know they have "the deadly disease", alternatively they'll suffer mild flu symptoms. In the event you do get it, the hospitals now know how to treat it; they've been treating it for over a fucking year - the prognosis for a total recovery is high. Why would you take an unnecessary risk in having an under tested vaccine? Yet not only are they insistent you have it, they now seem to be trying to coerce you by excluding you from society if you refuse? Fuck outta town.
If they are going to make me choose, then it's simple; I choose freedom over coercion.
You can stick your vaccine and your vaccine passport up your arse.
I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees.
