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

Wrong thread

Terrible carnage there. It's so upsetting to see people that had normal lives a matter of months ago killed in the most horrific of circumstances or those left traumatized with their future uncertain. On a side note, and given it is a conspiracy thread, I do note a strong correlation between the conspiracy theorists / Covid deniers and that war in Ukraine is staged or fake. Is it just that they live in a parallel universe that's fuelled by fear / disinformation / paranoia / poor education?

Meant for another thread, but indeed there's a large overlap between conspiracy theorists, anti-vaxxers, Covid deniers, anti-maskers and Putin propagandists. Lump climate change denial into that mix. We have more than a few posters who tick all those boxes.

What's this got to do with covid restrictions being permanent?

Any comment on the utter failure of the conspiracy theories here?

Chuckling away here due to the fact that all restrictions have ended yet there some idiots that are still trying to claim they are permanent. They’re not even useful idiots anymore for anyone, they are just idiots.

Scrambling about for restrictions! This impacts a tiny amount of people in one country.

It is to be lifted mid June. So its temporary. Again, look at the thread title.

I never said there weren't restrictions in place. Just that they're temporary and they're all being lifted at the moment.

Italys government didn't renew their state of emergency powers. They let them expire.

Did you not see this?

@Mic 1972 I don’t recall your concern for Italy in the past. If I was suspicious, I’d think that with your sudden concern, you are trying to claim that Italian temporary measures are permanent because you’ve run out of road.

No the restrictions being lifted in June are for unvaccinated workers over 50 needing covid tests. Most of the other "holiday season" restrictions are gone or will be in 3 weeks.

Did you miss this bit?

• Italy dropped its 'state of emergency' on 31 March but has extended its travel restrictions until 30 April.
• Sweden removed the entry ban on non-EU travellers from 1 April.
• Latvia has also joined the growing list of restriction-free European countries, including Denmark, the Netherlands, Norway and Poland.
• Cyprus is easing its entry rules for unvaccinated travellers and scrapping its traffic-light system from 18 April. Certain restrictions on the island will ease from 11 April.

You're running out of countries!

Whatever rabbit hole you've been down these last two years, you were wrong. Just accept it, climb out of it and move on.

Lol. You've dodged all this points.

Was the only thing from his post you read the last line?

Ok. So again, you believe that this measure in Italy is going to be permanent. That's fine. We're not going to be able to convince you otherwise.

So please tell us, why do you believe this measure is going to be permanent?

Why only this measure and none of the other ones?

Why only Italy?

I, and every other rational person on this thread think that you aren't able to address these very basic questions. That's why you have to keep ignoring them.

It's very bizarre you think this tactic is helpful to you. It only serves to show that you conspiracy theorists are desperate and dishonest.

Grow a spine. Stop ignoring things that upset you. Answer the questions.

But you probably won't though.

This thread is 2 years of you guys showing what conspiracy theorists actually are.

And you couldn't mention other countries, you were howled at that "THIS IS AN IRISH SITE AND WE ARE ONLY TALKING ABOUT IRISH RESTRICTIONS!!!"

now they bring up the most minor restrictions from far flung places to try to keep thier silly conspiracy alive.

And this too! Sh1t sh1t sh1t

Over 15 million dead. The survival rate is 98% not the nonsensical 99.9% regularly referred to. One in fifty die. That's too much and protecting our most vulnerable is essential.

.

Are the participants of the study/exercise claiming that it was trial run for a secret evil plot to take over the world?

For other examples of conspiracy theories about pandemics being used to take over the world, you only need to look at this thread.

Have a search on the forum for terms like Zika, swineflu, birdflu, SARS. you'll find basically the same stuff being claimed in those threads too.

Likewise, look up Jade Helm and other "readiness excerise" related terms.

But I had heard of monkeypox before hand. Cause it's a funny sounding word. The disease has been around for ages. https://www.cdc.gov/poxvirus/monkeypox/index.html

But that doesn't really answer the question. Why would they use monkeypox in both the exercise and the real deal? Why drop a clue like that?

Why not do the excerise with a different disease? Or do it with monkeypox, but then say in public that it was a different disease. Or better yet, keep the excerise entirely secret.

OK. So they so arrogant that they're going to leave a hint about their secret plan out in the open for literally no reason?

Do you understand how that sounds a little silly for most people whodunit subscribe to conspiracy theories?

Do these experts claim that their plan is to introduce measures that aren't needed for nefarious purposes? I'm still a bit confused as to why the fact they are experts is somehow supporting the conspiracy theory here.

But good for you for actually nailing down a failure condition for your conspiracy theory. That's a rare sight.

So if there's no new restrictions or measures due to monkey pox by the end of June you'll admit that thr conspiracy theory was false?

Why not June?

Conspiracy theories like this never actually give themselves set deadlines, usually so they can weasel and squirm away from their claims.

So what will happen by the end of June that will indicate that the conspiracy theory is correct? What will indicate that it was not correct?

Ok. So if by the end of June there's no restrictions due to monkey pox, you'll agree the theory has failed?

What are you defining as "calls for restrictions"? That's a very wishy washy term I think.

But why does it not make sense for you to see articles about it in the media?

Why does "It's a global worldwide conspiracy to introduce evil restrictions" make sense to you? Especially given that this was claimed for covid too.

Sh1t!!

No, you're not nailing down the conspiracy theory because I suspect you're trying to leave yourself some wriggle room for when the predictions fail.

If you were actually basing this on any special insight or secret information, you wouldn't have any issues being specific. Instead it just kinda looks like you're making all of this up like people did with covid and pretty much every previous pandemic and health crisis.

So by what time will the 5 points you posted play out?

End of June? Six months? Some vaguely defined deadline far in the future that you'll never actually have to face?

On the plus side we will no upgrade to 6G.
