I think most people realize it was a hoax but they don't realize the seriousness of the hoax. Probably because it's just one hoax after another...

Seems so very long ago.Was it a dream/ nightmare ? Yet I can’t go one day here in San Francisco without seeing people in masks.

Yep, same here in Vacaville. Covid, or, better yet, the establishment's response to Covid, reset the timeline to a meaner, dumber one, in my opinion.

I had an errand in Center City (fka "downtown") Philadelphia this morning, and saw too many people on public transit wearing masks. I didn't count, but it wasn't a large number-- maybe 2 out of 10, if that. Still "too many"!

After the Megadeath Virus of Doom scamdemic was officially declared over, I noticed that persistent mask-wearers on public transit often wore scrubs; maybe they're still required or "recommended" at their workplace. But even if that's true, why wear it during the commute?

I'm not exactly a stickler for behaving rationally, but to me it's even more cringeworthy when the die-hard (more accurately, live-hard) mask addicts wear them on the down-low, i.e. dangling beneath their exposed noses or even under their chins: Mask Zombies! 😷 🤨

The quantity of mask wearers seems to come in waves. I keep wondering is there a new “variant” of which I’m unaware? I thought we’d all be dead of bird flu by now.

Oh, yeah, I remember Hank Aaron! I mention him in this May, 2021 comment to an article by quondam sociopolitical critic "Fikre" criticizing the government/healthcare combine's marketing campaign to "combat vaccine-hesitancy in the US black community":

There to assist racists like Biden and Fauci meet their objectives are sellouts pressuring their brothers and sisters to get “vaccinated”. Just like Africans sold their own into slavery, neo-coons from left to right are putting on minstrel shows and shucking and jiving to manipulate their own people to self-harm by way of mRNA-tainted needles. -- Teodrose "Fikre" Fikremariam

Gospel accounts of Jesus's crucifixion tell us that Jesus was one of three prisoners executed on Golgotha. He's accordingly represented as occupying the crucifix in the center, with a "Good Thief" on his right and a "Bad Thief" on his left. I'm reminded of the "Good Thief/Bad Thief" dichotomy when I think of the black celebrities and public figures serving as COVID vaccine cheerleaders, or perhaps I should use the obvious pun "boosters" since the crucifixes are analogues of the Megadeath Virus of Doom vaccines' hypodermic needles.

I consider MLB baseball superstar Hank Aaron to be in the "Good Thief" camp. He very publicly got his COVID jab to serve as a Role Model, in hopes that his influence would assist in leading his people out of the putatively ignorant, recalcitrant darkness of "vaccine hesitation". He died shortly afterwards. Lest it seem sacrilegious to say that Hank died for the "vaccine-hesitant" persons of color's sins, there's a sports idiom that applies: he "took one for the team".

As with retired champion boxer Marvin Hagler, who also died shortly after getting a COVID vaccination, both families insist that their deaths were in no way caused by, or related to, their recent vaccinations. Methinks they doth protest too much, and I'm certain that even if family members privately had doubts or suspicions, scamdemic authorities "persuaded" them to fervently deny a possible connection to ensure that their loved ones didn't die in vain.

I haven't researched this point, but I don't consider Hagler a "Good Thief" because, AFAIK, unlike Aaron he didn't explicitly publicize getting the vax for Role Model purposes...

[I'll omit my "Bad Thief" discussion, except to say that it discussed a Public Service Announcement (PSA) featuring Obama, Shaquille O'Neal, and Charles Barkley encouraging (black) Americans to get the "COVID" vaccine.] 💉 🤬
