Personal Tales of Scamdemic Insanity
What are Some of Yours?
I think we all have stories about crazy things we saw, or heard, or read during the scamdemic. The photo above is just something I grabbed off of social media a couple of years ago (notice the other people in the picture weren’t even wearing masks).
Anyway, the first inkling I had (probably March 2020) that this new “global health scare” was not going to be like all the previous “global health scares” was an exchange I had with an old-dear friend, who is not even a friend anymore. Sigh.
My friend was a very unhealthy person. They (pronoun used to hide identity) had been addicted to drugs for a long time and was suffering from type-2 diabetes, heart issues, and other ailments associated with a hard lifestyle. However, they were a very good antiwar activist and we did many actions together. Before Kovid, they had a very sophisticated analysis of propaganda and empire.
To say I was shocked that they seemed to be falling into the Kovid agit-crap was an understatement. This friend turned out to be only one of many that toppled over the next few weeks. The avalanche of messy interactions with my former friends/colleagues/comrades happened so quickly back in 2020 that my head was spinning.
So, my friend posted something on Facebook saying that, even though this friend was a little leery about the health of the fry cook, and counter-employees, they drove through McDonald’s to get a meal, but, now my friend was afraid that maybe they were going to contract Kovid! Never mind about the disgusting “food” they ingested with all of the suspicious ingredients and low nutritive value.
I commented something like, “you’re eating at McDonald’s and you’re worried about catching the flu?” They went ballistic on me via private message and it seemed like our friendship was over. I haven’t heard from him/her since.
Oh, well. Another one bit the dust.
I could not believe that my trusted friends became devotees of people like Wild Bill Gates and Dr. Falsie.
I still cannot believe it.
Side note:
When will people recover from their trauma-bonding with the scamdemic?
Democrat Presidential Performance Artist and Woo-woo Grifter Marianne Williamson (X)-ed this yesterday.
Covid is still a threat, and there are many long covid sufferers. We should reinstate mask mandates in healthcare settings; ensure free high quality masks and PCR tests; and mandate effective air filtration for all public transportation, buildings, and businesses.

I recall at the beginning a woman, at a distance and across the street from me, when I went out for my daily walk, yelling at me for infecting the world by not wearing a mask. She was so distant, I couldn't even see her. I imagined her standing under an EFT tower without a care other than my maskless face because nobody instructed her to beware of EFT towers. And of course that also made me an automatic Trump supporter. I think Trump has become our real life Emmanuel Goldstein. And I think I've come to understand why so many people supported him. There's something refreshingly honest about his dishonesty. It's unlike the stale, predictable dishonesty we're subjected to by the vast majority of politicians today (or ever?), Other than that, the amazing rapidity with which the cashiers at my local Whole Foods had become authorities on how to wear a mask to avoid spreading a non-existent virus, considering that so many of them prior to this couldn't differentiate a turnip from a rutabaga. I guess they were just more interested in health care. And WF was definitely the worst - with Trader Joe's not far behind.. The saddest was a friend who, working from home, told me that she wore a mask at home alone.
My favorite is a brother of mine showing up to our very elderly parents home, in a haz mat suit including painter's respirator mask. My parents had the good sense not to complie with any government lunacy including masks experimental jabs, social distance, social isolation, etc. and here their own son, a big 6'4 strap of a man was terrified of his own Mother and Father. They told me, he looked like a big gorilla at the door and frightened the life out of them.
