KARL POPPER: "No rational argument will have a rational effect on a man who does not want to adopt a rational attitude.

Those who promise us paradise on earth never produced anything but a hell.

Philosophers should consider the fact that the greatest happiness principle can easily be made an excuse for a benevolent dictatorship.

There is an almost universal tendency, perhaps an inborn tendency, to suspect the good faith of a man who holds opinions that differ from our own opinions.

In so far as a scientific statement speaks about reality, it must be falsifiable; and in so far as it is not falsifiable, it does not speak about reality.

Piecemeal social engineering resembles physical engineering in regarding the ends as beyond the province of technology.

KARL POPPER: "We must plan for freedom, and not only for security, if for no other reason than that only freedom can make security secure.

It is wrong to think that belief in freedom always leads to victory; we must always be prepared for it to lead to defeat. If we choose freedom, then we must be prepared to perish along with it.

I’m ready to perish rather than to bow down!
No point otherwise.

I’m real here. No longer on Twitter!

I don’t feel like any giant but I’ll tell you what I am not: afraid.
Don’t be frightened. But insist on our freedoms & allow no one to instruct us without our consent.

"I went to a meeting with a youth club where we all wore masks. It was downright miserable: no one spoke, personalities seemed blunted. Then they sent us outside for a break, and instantly everyone went back to their normal selves. But the second we went in and put the masks back on, everyone disappeared behind them again.  
The only reason I was at that youth group was to see my friends, but I stopped going after that, because it wasn’t worth seeing the masked version of them.
 People my age want to be in school primarily for the social element. Masks remove that. We’re all just exhausted by sadness and anger, desperate to escape or even just to breathe for a minute, because we’ve had no break since March 2020.
  Now that Covid cases are plummeting by the day and an effective vaccine has been offered to all vulnerable groups, isn’t it time to give teenagers like me our lives back?"

Why I think the vaccination frenzy is absurd from an immunological perspective. People at risk from Covid19, the elderly and the immunocompromised due to other comorbidities, are still at risk from influenza and other coronaviruses with the same if not higher mortality rates than SARSCoV2, such as HCoV-OC43. They can get a flu vaccination based on the strains of the year before, which therefore will not cover for the most recent flu strains. They can get HCoV-OC43 as there is no vaccination against any of its strains. They can get an adenovirus or other respiratory virus. They are not protected against any of these. If instead they focused on keeping high levels of vitamin D throughout the year, if they kept high levels of zinc and Omega-3 fatty acids in their nutrition, with pneumonia and bacterial infection treatments at hand just in case, they would be covered from severe infection from all respiratory viruses not one.

Vaccination from SARSCoV2 in fact was designed to relieve a single symptom of Covid19 and not the disease. That is why I fundamentally believe that when it comes to respiratory viruses and their changing strains the broader catch all solution is vitamin D, zinc and Omega 3s and not single "leaky" vaccinations to ultimately just a single symptom. I think that vaccinations will not cover from all flu and coronavirus and adenovirus strains next year, but vitamin D, zinc & Omega-3s together with good sleep, fresh vegetables, low levels of stress and general wellbeing will protect from all of them. I do not believe that vaccinations to single respiratory viruses save any lives of the vulnerable as they are exposed to all other respiratory viruses and strains which we cannot possibly predict or vaccinate against in advance. That is why I do not believe that vaccinations against respiratory viruses really do save lives, I think it is a fraud to say they do. Vitamin D, zinc, Omega 3s, bacteriostatics or antibiotics save lives, not vaccinations.

That is why the "Spanish" flu claimed so many lives: there were no antibiotics at the time. It is also believed face masks harboured bacteria which increased pneumonia infections. What they really needed were antibiotics, vitamin D, zinc & Omega 3s, not vaccines to the previous year's influenza strains.

"Spanish" Flu and masks: "Mask wearing by hospital corps did not have an effect on the incidence of disease as 8% who used the mask developed infection while only 7.75% of non-mask wearers did (JAMA, Vol. 71, No. 26)."

Why you should not vaccinate children in my view, is because their natural response will be broader: "When it comes to flu, there is increasing evidence that the body’s immune system responds best to the virus it first encounters in childhood. The phenomenon is called imprinting. The less related a later virus is from the one that caused that first infection, the less effective the immune response will be in fighting it."

Spanish flu: "The public health authorities believed that good ventilation and fresh air were "the best of all general measures for prevention, and this implies the avoidance of crowded meetings," (BMJ, 10/19/1918)
https://virus.stanford.edu/uda/fluresponse.html

1918 Spanish Flu: "One editorial in the BMJ states that "every town-dweller who is susceptible must sooner or later contract influenza whatever the public health authorities may do; and that the more schools and public meetings are banned and the general life of the community dislocated the greater will be the unemployment and depression," (12/21/1918).

1918 Spanish flu in military camps: "One camp used these ideas of prevention via ventilation and boasted of their results. They claimed their rampant influenza epidemic terminated once men were kept out in the open with sunlight or in open, airy halls and prevented from gathering" (JAMA, 12/14/1918).

New outbreak of COVID-19 in B.C. care home where residents and staff were already vaccinated: "You can have transmission even when people are fully vaccinated"
Which throws the entire logic for vaccine passports out of the window.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is washing up on coral reefs close to the Philippine capital, Manila. According to an estimate by the Asian Development Bank, during the peak of the Covid-19 outbreak, the city could have been generating up to 280 tonnes of extra medical waste per day.

I read that a lot of readers are struggling with living under lie based restrictions and closed businesses, let alone the pressure of oxygen deprivation through face masks and a brainwashed population. Personally, being a yogi, I try and rebalance all of this through the practice of Yoga, my personal choice is Kundalini Yoga. If you want to try it, Kimilla has a lot of classes free and online. Here is a beginner introduction. If you are struggling, I highly recommend it. I practise Kundalini Yoga every morning, almost without fail.

Sun Tzu's Art of War, or Master Sun ☀️'s Art of War. Circa 5th BC. We have to learn when to fight and when to let our opponents make their mistakes. We have to learn their strategies and adapt ours accordingly. We have to measure our energies to fight the battles we can win.
