I realize now that I might need to go back and re-read the other Covid Screwtape Letters. This one is dripping with brilliance and nuance! This sentence, in particular, is wonderfully apropos: "The experts remain firmly in control, their contradictions glossed over as 'the nature of science,' while the skeptics tear each other apart in endless debates over who’s truly enlightened."
The debates over "who's truly enlightened" have disappointed me, even when I agreed with the underlying basis of the disagreements. Tis more important to be pure, don't you know!
The points raised about how the apparent embrace of remote work actually feeds into a deeper malady is also fantastic! Keep up the good work, Justin.
This is like the fashion people telling you orange is the “new black”. No. It isn’t.
I was just wondering today: how much taxpayer money actually was transferred to Big Pharma, Bill Gates & all the other purveyors of covid stuff? This obviously involved a huge wealth transfer to the globalists and a corresponding addition to our $35 trillion national debt.
Some idea…I recall Yahoo finance excitedly reporting that Pfizer profits for one year for the Covid vaccine alone were $94 billion. How much of that came from direct US government & other government payments? Has any one ever looked at all the payments, subsidies and tax breaks given to Big Pharma??
And of course Big Pharma also got a liability waiver (worth trillions, no doubt) and still have not done any of the usual safety studies required for drug approval. Yep. That’s right. Covid vaccines continue to be served up under EUA (emergency use authorization) provisions. And then we pay to deal with the ongoing physical & mental health needs resulting from this period of Covid Capers”.
I hated that and told people it was NOT MY new normal early on… kept hugging and shaking hands too… damn virus stayed away from me for the past five years!!!

So freakishly true it's scary

I now call it our New Abnormal.

I fervently dislike normal. Or is it strenuously object to normal?
