My thoughts, too.

The most worrying issues, to me at least, are (1) the absence of empathy for the other members of society, irrespective of ‘vaccination' status, and (2) the abdication of any kind of responsibility on part of both the citizenry and, consequently, completely careless 'actions' (impulses) by the political caste.

In combination, we get the decay and eventual death of the republic by simply not caring about anything other than ourselves and our personal feelings about this or that (pseudo-) 'issue'.

More on the weekend later.

What a mess. Funny how France and Italy have been trying to out compete each other in this race to the bottom. Two ‘powerhouse’ EU economies that can’t be fixed. Just can’t. Unless.

Btw Germany would enter into this race if it could, just that it’s history makes it a touch more coy.

I’m being a conspiracy theorist because you just have to be after a certain point. It must be digital currency etc etc. Must be?

Looking at that pic, tell what is the difference between 2020 and 2021 - people still wore the useless masks outside, yet they are vaccinated?

Is a pandemic really what we have with an illness that has a 99% survivability rate?

Not my idea of a pandemic.

Why do they want to hide the truth from us for 55 years?

You must know why...

What is this timespan? Please be more precise so I may try to answer this question.

I beg your pardon! This is an oddly American problem, I guess. Here's a link:

Love your work. 😺

Ah, now I see, thanks for the clarification.

As to the matter at-hand, I agree completely. It would be wonderful if there was, say, a newspaper that had as its motto "democracy dies in darkness" or something even more catchy than that, wouldn't it? They, of all people, should be adamant about this issue, esp. since this is perhaps the biggest scoop since, well, the Pentagon Papers. (/sarcasm)

That said, there's already such a large number of whistleblowers on matters Covid-19, my guesstimate is that someone within the CDC/FDA will render these documents available to the public well before these 55 years have elapsed. Afer all, this being perhaps about as important to the powers-that-be as the "Snowden Papers", this is where I see this going (esp. once the finger-pointing about the--to me already--undeniable problems about all matters Covid-19 will begin in earnest in the political and media "mainstream").

Thank you for your kind words, I am very pleased you're deeming my stuff worth reading.

Cheers!
