To keep my perspective (and sense of humor) I have identified the boogeymen-of-doom and given them goofy names. The boogeymen are, indeed, real (or potentially real) but they have been enormously exaggerated to induce mass hysteria. Funny names help put them in their place.
- Scary Scarcity (poverty, famine)
- Climate Calamity (the oceans are going to boil in 30 years)
- Persistent Pestilence (aka Scamdemics... you will die if the gov doesn't force your neighbors to get jabbed)
- Fearsome Fallout (World War III)
- And the newest member... Divisive Diversity.
There is nothing like a good plague to frighten people into mindless obedience. Unfortunately, for the Progressive Urban Socialists (aka Democrats), Pestilence hasn't been getting much love lately. The Monkeypox epidemic had to be cancelled when children and pets started to contract this gruesome STD.
The Fungal Apocalypse
BUT, as I wrote back in June, Candida Auris (a drug resistant fungus) has arrived on stage to spread fear and anxiety. neoterra.us/blog/a-new-tridemic
Last week, an article in Wired magazine sounded the panic alert. The Battle Against the Fungal Apocalypse Is Just Beginning. YIKES! www.wired.com/story/the-battle-against-the-fungal-apocalypse-is-just-beginning/
The CDC admits that it doesn't have good data on the prevalence of fungal infections but "the feeling is definitely that there is an increase.” I love when a so-called scientist bases panic on a feeling (rather than actual data).
The article goes on to say "When experts try to imagine what could exert such widespread influence (you know... like a definite feeling) they land on the possibility that the problem is climate change"
Yep, when ya have a definite feeling then it MUST be due to Climate Change.
COVID Is Back
A few weeks ago the World Health Organization (WHO) and the CDC sounded the alarm for the new EG.5 COVID variant which is code-named 'Eris'. It seems that big pharma isn't making enough money and everyone needs to be convinced to get another jab. www.reuters.com/world/what-is-eris-new-covid-variant-2023-08-14/
Of course Democrats are already starting to panic and there is talk of reinstating mask mandates. But the rest of the country is shaking their heads and saying "we will not comply".
To boost the demand for boosters, Dr. Jill and Whoopi have both come down with COVID (again) in spite of being jabbed more times than a voodoo doll.
OMG, watch the reaction of the Progressive sheeple on The View!
It's coming back and its because deplorable people aren't getting the latest jab. "Clap if you want the new booster"
Just to be safe, I think I will be taking some COVID shots this Fall...
