The fact that people are talking about a Third Corona Autumn shows just how useless the injections have been, yet it appears Beatrice Achterberg are unable to see that. (Unless she is and her editor didn't let her point it out.)

Thank you! I saw the article in the Zurich Daily website but couldn't access it.

Sadly, the subsequently proposed Infection Protection Law for the coming winter in Germany is anything but a concession of errant ways last winter. Instead of apologising, they are doubling down (again)!

I hope Eugyppius is right that the proposed October-Easter measures are so obviously daft and problematic to implement (sound familiar?) that it will be their undoing, but I am not quite so confident.. I'm feeling a little despondent reading the news these days. We are led by donkeys..

Time to log off for some school-free weeks with the kids in the mountains :)

Don't be fooled. The op-ed was permitted. The media, and "they", are two-timing us. It is so easy to do.

Indeed: let's hope more stuff like this is soon to come.

About religion: I'm not religious myself, but it would appear that the deeply religious were less likely to fall into the hysteria. It seems that way to me, but it's all anecdotal. It would make sense, though. If you already worship at the temple of Jesus (or whoever), then you don't feel as much of a need to worship at the temple of Pfizer.

Jesus was a rebel against hierarchy, these modern clergy are nothing even remotely following his lead.

"fiery but mostly peaceful"

maybe, just maybe?, you should actually just watch the report in which those words were used by the reporter instead of just parroting others?
