The Long Battle Ahead

Lopsided decisions where an action cannot be undone lead to strong emotional biases. That's clear to see in the case of vaccines. The decision to take it is final. Hence, any subsequent information that suggests a flaw in the decision logic is dismissed as irrelevant, even when the evidence is tied directly to the person in question.

This behavior is on full display these days, with celebrities refusing to lay a connection between their recent vaccination and their subsequent illness. Even when the doctor tells them that their illness is linked to the vaccine, they keep telling everybody to take it. Their logic is that it's for the greater good, so even if they themselves are ill, everybody else is better off. But that argument is false. The greater good does not benefit from the vaccine. Natural immunity trumps vaccines by a factor of 13 to 1. However, all the evidence in the world will not alter their stance any time soon. They will dismiss it for the simple reason that the truth is too much to handle.

Similarly, the elite will not change their stance in the face of evidence contrary to their early decision to cut back on basic human rights and to deceive everyone into thinking that the vaccine is safe when in fact it isn't. They are neck deep in their own mess. They have crossed the line, and they know that an honest Nuremberg trial will have them convicted of crimes against humanity.

The evidence is in and the debate has been settled. Vaccines, mask mandates and lockdowns do more harm than good. However, anyone thinking that the hardships will soon be over is deluding themselves. The elite and their minions are in control, and are likely to stay in control for a long time yet. Not least because they are in the majority. People will vote the criminals back into power in coming elections because they themselves are suffering from decision bias.

Come this September, there will be elections both in Norway and in Portugal, and my wife is predicting that things are likely to become nasty as soon as the elections are over. I agree with her. But that's not a reason to give up. It's all the more reason to hold onto the strategy of attrition warfare. The minions must be demoralized. Wherever they set up their little checkpoints, we must put up a fight. We must actively seek alternatives, and/or install dread into their hearts. Their will to act must be curtailed.

My son and I went to the local park today. There was a guard at the entrance to ensure that everyone entering wear their mask. However, there was no zeal. He stood at a distance from the entrance. He seemed embarrassed about his job. His resolve was but a shadow of what we saw at the start of the pandemic. When I put on my mask of the beast, he looked at me twice. He noticed the message on my don't do drugs T-shirt, and I could see him cringe.

My son told me that he doesn't want to grow up in a world where we'll have to display vaccine passes in order to enter places. He wants to live free of these arbitrary restrictions, and he doesn't want to be stabbed by a needle every so many months. I told him that this battle will be won by his mother and I, and everyone else that sees through the insanity of it all. I hope it's all over in a couple of months, he told me. I had to disappoint him. Wars last longer than that. But things will be good for sure when this blows over. However, that may be as much as two years into the future.
