    As always with the caveat “If true …” then a nice parameter (since he is referring to the entire population of the United States) to pass on to others (if he is referring to the US population in relation to Global population then a statistic) …
    “After all, the average (IFR) death rate of covid is a mere 0.26% of those infected (this is a stat that the media consistently and deliberately refuses to mention to the public). This means that 99.7% of the public is in NO danger from covid whether they are vaccinated or not.” – quote from
    Why Are Globalists And Governments So Desperate For 100% Vaccination Rates? an article by Brandon Smith found on alt-market.us

    • Yes. But why are they so desperate to administer the mystery magic juice?

        • May the heavy hand having writ thus so, twist upon the twister’s throat in arthritic grip to extinguish thoughts of control of thee and me. Why! Cried I? Would/could dreams of bliss sans strife smile on more than rare occasion? Apparently not, replied the voice of reason.

          Sorry Peter. Got carried away. One of those days.

          • Upon reflection: The gist is there, but the logic is a bit askew. Substitute “the voice of reason” with “said a voice,” for one thing. Extemporaneous humorous poetic endeavors are tricky for me. The more reflective criticism, the stickier the wicket. Point: Wisdom too wise to vocalize.

        • The UK has just announced the same kind of incentives for younger people to get the jab…discounts for taxis and online food in this instance…the same failed playbook?…if so why? I can understand some of those behind this being deafened by their own echo chamber and just plain dumb now. But I suspect there are those who clearly understand and yet the same failed playbook is rolled out? I’m completely at a loss as to why?

            • Just a guess: For the same reason they let people vote on the EU constitution. The idea being to give the plebs a chance to voluntarily agree (for example, to vote yes), because then you can’t be accused of being antidemocratic. Then, if the plebs vote the “wrong” way, the rulers impose their will by force, either openly (for example, lockdowns in Australia) or through the backdoor (for example, through the Treaty of Lisbon or by letting the private sector enforce vax passports). They’re still in phase 1, trying to goad people into voluntarily submission.

                • … as Jim Maars was fond of saying, “Voting? (a quaint euphemism that allows one to think a particular action has meaning and real world effect) His saying the word “voting” was more often than not followed by a chuckle or two. He would continue, “if it mattered do you think they would let you do it?” However, we must admit, that “voting” makes us feel very similar to the way we do after participating in a survey. The feeling is usually along the lines of — wasn’t it nice, after all, to be “consulted” — and then to be able to number ourselves among “the consulted”. One can imagine one’s “consultation” inducing a “Sally Field Moment”. To paraphrase Miss Field, “No really, this time I feel it. You really do respect my opinion. I can’t deny the fact that you respect my opinion. Right now, you respect my opinion!” Unfortunately, the truth is in the last sentence. This is of course only for “right now” and not for the reasons one would like to think. You, like “your opinion”, will soon be discarded and forgotten (just like our posts on Giza). Maybe we would feel better about all of the collecting, selling, and use of our personal “data” (again, a euphemistic way of referring to our being under constant surveillance) if we would simply choose to think of being under constant surveillance not as an evil but as a good. No, no, no, clearly our thinking on this matter is all wrong. We are simply being “constantly consulted”. Yes, “constant consulting”. Yes, Judas think of it as a fee, nothing more. This should also address our so called “self-esteem” problem. After all I must really be important (and by inference my life meaningful in the Grand Cosmic Scheme of Things) if I have been deemed worthy of being “constantly consulted”. Yet another Giza T-shirt merch idea … The shirt would read “Constantly Consulted!” or how about a button along the lines of those of our “friends” at Herbalife? The button would read … Constant Consultation! Ask Me How!

                • … Aaaahhh finally … a question I have long pondered has been answered as a result of trying to get younger people in Britain to be vaccinated. The Question: How much is your soul worth? The Answer: Discounts for taxis and online food. Thank you British Pentactinals. … related to Pentactinals – since Dr. Farrell mentioned The Liddell & Scott … see ἀκτίς in Liddell & Scott (1889) An Intermediate Greek–English Lexicon, New York: Harper & Brothers. The great American Natural Historian Jean Louis Rodolphe Agassiz, most often referred to as Louis Agazziz (May 28, 1807 – December 14, 1873), who specialized in categorization and classification, is responsible for the use of the Greek ἀκτίς in Biology. The early History of the Growth of Science in America, is yet another fun area in which to muddle around. See also
                  ἀκτίς in Autenrieth, Georg (1891) A Homeric Dictionary for Schools and Colleges, New York: Harper & Brothers – by the way a beautifully bound book (God how I so love accidental alliteration) if you can find a copy of the Autenrieth with the embossed gold bust of Homer on the front board. Another fun example of alliteration popping up in a strange place can be found in Verse 2 of Warren Zevon’s Werewolves of London. By the way the picture disc of this is awesome. If you collect vinyl and run across a copy grab it. There were reportedly only about 5000 pressings made so it is slightly hard to come by.
                  “If you hear him howling around your kitchen door
                  You better not let him in
                  *Little old lady got mutilated late last night*
                  Werewolves of London again
                  Ah-hoo All! 🙂
