All Covid-19 measures are permanent, don't be a boiling frog!

I agree, but they don't have to be working together to all succeed. I don't think there is a large global conspiracy in play, rather a bunch of separate entities all using one event to further their goals, and when this happens it can look like one huge conspiracy.

....It makes people feel safer

....We thought they would work initially and admitting that they probably don't do that much would look like we don't know what we're doing.

...It excludes people who don't comply with our direction from certain places, and that creates compliance

.....So, initially you make a small request and once the person agrees to this they find it more difficult to refuse a bigger one (Freedman & Fraser, 1966)

When the pandemic was first apparent in Jan 2020, I bought loads of masks, I have thousands and many more were seized in China, I did that because I read studies on mask effectiveness and they showed masks were up to 80% effective against flu. So I was wearing a mask in Jan and everyone was looking at me like I was a crazy conspiracy theorist. Then it became apparent they they probably don't work, so I stopped wearing them, about 2 weeks later they became mandatory, and when I say they don't really work....I'm a crazy conspiracy theorist.

I know, I agree with you. But conspiracy theorist is a label that gets thrown around for anybody who question the official narrative on anything. I don't think there is a big conspiracy. Some organizations are cheating to get ahead, some people are lying but they're not all conspiring together.

There are pro vaccine groups:

Investing in global health organizations aimed at increasing access to vaccines created a 20-to-1 return in economic benefit, billionaire Microsoft co-founder and philanthropist Bill Gates told CNBC on Wednesday.

Over the past two decades, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has donated “a bit more than $10 billion” into mainly three groups: the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization, the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, and the Global Polio Eradication Initiative.

Pfizer for example have made billions making vaccines, whistle blowers have said proper procedures were not followed. Maddie de Garay was paralyzed by the vaccine during trials and it was reported as abdominal pain to the FDA, I'd call that malevolent.

The WEF great reset plan involves Corporations having power in government of countries through stakeholder capitalism, the UN signed a strategic partnership with the WEF in 2019, they also said the pandemic was an opportunity to implement the great reset, that's not really theory crafting, they're acting or trying to act to change how countries are governed.

Right, so this problem has been solved by the Illuminati. So as soon as we are all being blasted with lasers 24/7, we will know something is up.

Should be any day now.

(Note how all these terrible things are always in the future, like the return of Jesus? I wonder why.)

Why are you worried about your heartbeat being measured? What's so horrifying about it?

I'm assuming you actually go outside sometimes? How often do you think you are recorded by a camera in your daily life? I'm sure you realise if you carry your phone with you your movements and location can be tracked constantly.

You must live in a very sheltered world or on another planet if you have never heard of government ministers, congressmen or governors breaking rules on drink driving, driving without insurance, speeding etc. Do you believe that is because all politicians believe road safety rules are pointless and there is no need for them when there are verifiable statistics to show the opposite ?

It`s complete nonsense and anyone saying such rules and regulations are only there to exercise some kind of control over populations as part of a devious plan by politicians worldwide would rightly be called out as a conspiracy nut-job.

The world is not short of people who make fools of themselves when partying or believing individually in every walk of life they are above the rules. To believe that some politicians have broken the rules during this pandemic because politicians worldwide are only using these regulations/recommendations as part of a secret masterplan that nobody knows how or what it is supposed to achieve, or who is supposedly behind it is as idiotic as believing that road safety rules are part of the same masterplan.

You also must have been off planet or living in that sheltered world over the last two years if you believe that now with the very limited rules on mask wearing and vaccine passports they still constitute 99% of all the restrictions that were in place.

There is a divide in consensus, they had new vaccine technologies that will take a very long time to get approved and even if they did get approved they'd still have to convince people to take them, and they discussed what type of event might break the hesitancy. In other words you have people who want people to take the vaccines, and people who don't want to take them and need to be pushed.

There were 1,131 children in that trial.

I'm not claiming corporations will be involved in the governance of Ireland, I'm saying that is what the WEF advocate for, and suggested we implement. They have advocated for this for a very long time long before Covid, I think since 2008. Its not difficult to find, they have published multiple papers describing stakeholder capitalism and an multi-stakeholder ecosystem where corporations are involved in governance to help with global warming and poverty and a multitude of other things. You look it up. Its on their website.

What are you talking about?

So you'd have no problem taking Pandemrix then? The "perfectly safe" vaccine from 2009?

Why would I not want corporations having a say in the governance of the Country? Because I don't get to vote for them, so there would unelected individuals having a say in how the country is governed. What would that mean for regulations?, far fewer restrictions on corporations I would imagine. I don't trust most corporations as it is, they only have one motivation, and that's money. Would you want Monsanto having a seat at the table of Irish government?

What point is ridiculous? What do you think my point was?
