Hence, be prepared.

I think the preparations must be spiritual, mental and then physical. Unless there is a cohesive group of people, it will be easy pickings for them - like right now.

so the heirs of the vikings, in former days the scourge of europe, have become a herd of docile sheep.

with the government openly discussing on how to lead them to the slaughterhouse....

Well, what can I say--it's insane, the IPH is telling everyone the jabs are irrelevant in terms of transmission (and quite likely make the course of disease much worse), but I'm certain many people will still get their 4th jab.

Also, I've found some more interesting stuff the IPH put out--stay tuned…

"...why on God’s green earth would anyone who’s taken three of these jabs already and got infected anyways line up for another shot of these injectable products?" Excellent question. I saw an announcement by a government-funded charity on Facebook giving notice of booster availability. I saw zero pushback in the comments. To the contrary. One person said he had been sick with a corona a few weeks ago. How long did he have to wait to get his booster? Another person wrote he was sick with corona right at that moment. How long did he have to wait to get the booster?

Incredible.

A comedian recently pointed out that these things are no longer injections. They're acupuncture.

Haha re the acupuncture thing. Could also be a talisman, you know, like masks.

As to the non-negative replies: could be censorship, for all I know.

I hadn't thought of the censorship aspect. I should have, given that my own comments have been deleted from other posts. You are no doubt right.

There is something very talismanic about the shots.

It's just--propaganda and censorship are, in my view, flip sides of the same coin.

As to the repeat injections, well, I'd also add that there may be an analogy akin to 'sunk investments' at play: after all, a sizable chunk of people has taken three or four of them, hence imagine the cognitive problems for them to admit (first of all to themselves) that they've made a mistake.

Non-scientific speculation:

By winter proper (Novemeber onwards) a new mutation will have started to become a proble, since it will be even more infectious, especially to people who are vaccinated since the vaccine hampers the body's ability to adjust to mutations, as we saw with Omicron last winter.

So mid-December, expect them to try and force people to get a 4/5 shot no matter what, saying it's the only way to stop the spread and so on. Covid policies are like shampoo after all: rinse and repeat.

Meanwhile, the only people I know or know about who get Covid more than once (by that I mean get so sick they are actually flat on their backs like with the regular flu) are the vaccinated, especially those who are in poor health, advanced age or in bad shape.

The latter especially. I know people 15 years younger who has now had Covid 3+ times, getting sicker than from a cold but not quite as severe a fever as with flu or pneumonia. Overweight almost to american levels, smokers, no physical activities, casual drinkers, goes clubbing every weekend meaning they wreck their sleep cycle every weekend, and they also all have careers with little to no physical activity involved.

They seem to get it easier and worse than octogenarians. One lady on my wife's circuit (she works as ambulatory caregiver to elders right now) is 90+, and has lived and worked on her farm all her life until the body was no longer up to it. That lady has Covid right now, it's like a stubborn cold apparently.

I think this purely anecdotal data points to something important media and medical informers have purposefully neglected to emphasise, for a lot of reasons: good shep equals virtually no danger.

Why they won't emphasise that aspect, well I have some ideas but I'll save you from them for now.

Well, that would be a practical solution that runs counter to things you, my fellow Northern (if I may say so), know, ranging from Taco Night to many a Norwegians' love for pølse (sausages) with disgusting, if super unhealthy, condiments, to the absurd amount of smågodteri (candy) the locals consume, to say nothing about soft drinks (soda, to my American readers).

Purely anecdotal, most locals don't seem to care much, if at-all, about their health, which is probably also a side-effect of socialised medicine services. Not that I'd object to spreading the insurance burden as widely as possible, but if there's no consequences ever for anyone's actions, I guess this is what you'd get…

I do know a bunch of multiple Covid-infected people, and, yes, both 'vaccinated' and 'unvaccinated' had a worse second time--BUT: the 'unvaccinated' complained about a heavy cold or flu, which is very different from what the 'vaccinated' tell me.

All things considered: live healthy, take loads of vitamins, exercise, and sleep regularly--you're fine, mostly.

My personal verdict on the subsconscious level of vaccine uptake is this: most people are so entitled, spoiled, and haven't faced much, if any, consequences of their 'lifestyle choices' that their lining up to 'get vaccinated' is entirely understandable: ingest a pill, take some meds, get a jab, really, do anything to take (back) responsibility for one's life. Pathetic.

To think that Sweden (and the other nordics) used to have communal gymnastics broadcas first by radio and then TV up until the end of the 1960s, with a resurgence when the americans had comodified exercise and started to export it during theearly 1980s.

That may well be part of why the elders, while vulnerable also show greater durability to this. At least 15-30 minutes of physio per day was the norm, doing sports - any sport - was the norm, and since oler machines and tools required more human labour they kept in shape despite modern society.

Indulgent and entitled is not a good mindset for raising children or oneself, obviously. And southerners from beyond Europe is no hope - if anything, they fall even harder in the pit of candy, fast food, hashish, sodas, steroids and gyms, and stopping all exercise at age 35, they then bloat.

Not sure about the socialised medicine; we've had that for far longer than we've had growing problems of eating wrong and sitting still. Rather I'd say lack of order and lack of self-discipline having been replaced as ideals by said indulgence and entitlement.

Upon which only nothing can be built (fitting neatly into the trend of politically correct puritanism married to cultural relativism and nihilism resulting in people with the mental maturity and behavioural patterns of 2-year olds).

You're mean to 2yo, I'd argue: they aren't cognitively able to (technically) think their actions through. Adults after ±20 do.

Your comment about self-indulgence and lack of (self-) discipline is well taken, and I'm in full agreement with it.
