    Early COVID/Pre-vaccines = dead employees won't make us money.

    Now = well there's wifi in the hospital, right? We need to keep making money!

    We still aren’t allowed at work until we have two negative results after testing positive. Thing is someone came in before Christmas with a cold and chesty cough and gave it to half the office. She came in because it wasn’t Covid…

    Yep. the fear-mongering over the virus, and the vilification of the unvaxxed, was all done through the power of the media.

    And those who control the media, control the worldwide agendas being pushed.

    I'm sure I covered this before with you. I agree with the root of your point but once you go supernova with it I've checked out

    Yet where I work people were put down as being absent or given a disciplinary for having COVID so being off for 5 days as the guidelines said at the time (about October 2022)

    This was in a supermarket too.

    So think staff just didn’t bother to test or went in regardless to avoid getting into trouble.

    And I completely understand why you would - it's a defence mechanism that we all have to some extent, to shut-off what is beyond our immediate perception of reality and what is possible based on what we have been told to believe since we were born.

    Once you accept that the media is controlled and is a tool for pushing agendas, then it certainly opens up the door to further possibilities. How much of what we have been told about life in general is true? It is my belief that everything is aimed towards keeping people in a state of fear, stress and paranoia, which prevents us from finding the deeper reason for our existence - which would then set us free from those who control the system. Whether you are a 'normie', someone who believes everything they're told by Fox, CNN, the BBC etc, or whether you are a 'truther', sceptical of anything that comes from the Government or media, we are all being played in this way. For example, the person who believes that the covid vax is responsible for every illness and sudden death is as fooled as the person who trusts the safety of the vaccine implicitly. Both are serving a function for the beastly system in which we live.

    We talked about the theory that Paul McCartney is dead in the other thread. It's interesting that in the book 'Memoirs of Billy Shears', it goes into details of how The Beatles were a manufactured band used for the purpose of social engineering, as were most of the main bands from that period, and many still today. The truth is that 99.9% of us, even those in some positions of supposed power, have very little idea about how the world really works.

    I agree wholeheartedly about pushing agendas(hugely increased in the social media age).

    Layman's example, in the traitors TV show it is frighteningly easy to sway people to think someone else is suspicious.

    I see this at work, in society in general. Once it gets to "normies " and "truthers" I check out as that is division.

    I do still believe the Covid virus was a huge worldwide issue and could have been a lot worse so I find extreme scepticism of that difficult to believe


    Edit, Paul is not Dead and The Beatles were not manufactured

    @LEF

    If you continue polluting threads with off topic content I will remove your access to current affairs for a period of time equivalent to however much you have irritated me multiplied by my frustration that you don't pay attention to warnings

    If you want to discuss this then do it by PM and NOT in a thread

    Wonder how much longer our thick useless political class will keep their heads in the sand?
