Reply from a thread titled "Jordan Peterson is pissed about covid tyranny"
My perspective is this:
I arrived in California 1/31/20 and got the OG Wuhan Covid at SFO Airport.
I experienced one miserable night with chills that wouldn't stop, followed by a cold that lasted for a month.
I thought that was it. No big deal really.
While sick with this ass kicking cold during February 2020, I traveled to Texas, Japan, Singapore, India and Australia. I am the guy who plays through the pain and I might be sick and miserable but I'll still have the presentation ready for the customer meeting and I'll manage to hold it together until the meeting is over.
They cancelled the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.
The NBA started cancelling games.
The news media started hyping Covid as if it was Ebola.
My daughter got married on Saturday, March 14, 2020. She probably had 180 people on the guest list and between Friday the 13th, 2020 and Saturday the 14th, 2020, she had a good 20 people cancel at the last minute over Covid fear. I thought, that's weak sauce but... OK. Living in California for as long as I have, I know that people are flaky by nature.
When we got back to California on Monday, March 16th 2020 was when the lockdowns started. No masks yet.
As time went by and two weeks became two months.
No masks became masks.
Decreasing deaths shifted the focus to case numbers.
Decreasing case numbers reinforced that the plan was working.
This was met with the post-Thanksgiving re-lockdown which led to 15,000 deaths in Los Angeles during the following two months.
More deaths led to hope that the vax would be our saviour.
People stopped dying and the vax arrived.
Reopening started and the vax started getting pushed harder.
Re-Re-lockdowns happened to force the vax. Masks obviously.
72%+ of people in LA are "fully" vaxxed but the freedoms have been further reduced until everyone gets the vax.
Now that the vaxxed are getting and spreading Covid, what's the point of the vax, really?
This entire ruse has nothing to do with concern for people's health.
If we were concerned about health, we would have kept kids in school, placed no restrictions on anybody under the age of 40/50/60. Made 80 year olds like Nancy Pelosi stay at home and everybody else could go on with the rest fo their lives.
But, as politicized as this thing has become, it's what Joe Rogan calls "Teams". You're either on Team Vax, or not. You're either on Team Mask or you're not.
There are a lot of folks who have tried to create a caste system to discriminate between the vaxxed and the unvaxxed. But the reality is, they've conned a lot of people into the vax and offered no upside.
They're now trying to create artificial restrictions on the unvaxxed to forcibly move them to the vaxxed team.
I'm just really surprised that Jordan B Peterson didn't see that happening. He's a super smart dude.
By the way, back to my daughter who got married on the final weekend of freedom in 2020. She's fully on Team Vax and Team Mask. I think she's backed off a little on the masking but won't let me see my grandbaby due to the vaxxing (you know, the baby is too young to get vaxxed against a virus that won't affect him anyway). It's so unfortunate that people like her are so easy to turn in to sheeple.
