Wuhan Coronavirus: Megathread - Got too big

Status
Not open for further replies.
Welp, it's been less than a week since the workplace vax survey was sent out. Yesterday I received an email sent to all staff that we are all getting a substantial raise. Not pennies per hour, but dollars.

I think they got a lot of "fuck this, I'm out" responses (like mine) and are prepping the carrot in advance of the stick. This company is known for low pay for what some consider high stress (not me, I love it) and trying to wrestle raises higher than $0.25 every six months has been a bone of contention for as long as reviews on Glassdoor have been a thing.

Unless I get in writing that I will never have to return to the office during my employment, I stand by my decision. And even then I would still probably just get terminated. The only reason I have this lower-paid position is the working from home aspect (taking buses in WI winters SUCKS, folks) and I would HATE to lose this comfy gig for that reason and it's a big one.

I can only hope that they are in a wait-and-see holding pattern before mandating anything. Sad that I have to worry about their motivations rather than be thrilled about the raise.

Makes you wonder... With the Internet and very capable deepfake software, could you fake an entire worldwide pandemic? Or blow it up enough to scare people into becoming fear-ghouls?
Here's the thing: This is the Internet. Everyone could be fake, and everything could be a lie. I know nobody who even had the Coof. I know several people, perfectly healthy, who either died of the Coof, or had long term issues recovering. I know several people who had long-lasting issues caused by the vaccine.
Which is real? I know I'm real, but I have no way to prove most of you or anyone on the net is real, and you have no way to prove it for me.
Consider an extreme amount of computational power used for AI-generation of faces and pictures and stories and social media accounts. What could you do? Could you create an artificial narrative and keep it running?
Just a random thought, it's pure tismo, of course. As with most conspiracies, it requires a lot of people, perfect silence on their part. And this one would be pretty big.
But it reminds me of the movie "Wag the Dog", which I should watch again...

One thing I didn't realize about the approval for child COVID vaccines in the US, is that now they might be mandated regardless of whether the parent wants them or not. If a parent can have their kid taken away for not letting them opt into tranny castration, surely vaccines will work the same way in some places. Is that happening in Canada yet? I don't see how they can avoid that.

You don't need advanced AI when you have cloned NPC's doing all the work for you. Remember at the beginning of all this journos reporting bodies being piled up in the streets or people dropping like flies while out in public?

They were just emergency use authorized too, weren't they? Especially with that admission they haven't had a large enough case study to know if it's going to cause more harm than benefit at their own damned meeting. Might be grounds to fight a mandate for a bit longer at least until they generalize it.

Still would just homeschool or go for an exemption. There's all risk, no reward for kids. It's truly terrifying how our society has degenerated since the 70s. Removing vaccine liability was a huge mistake.

It's amazing how the same people are so confident you have to have all these regulations in place to keep the greedy businesses from destroying the environment for profit, but we can definitely trust them not to destroy our bodies for profit if we remove their liability.

The AI bit at this point is solid and provable. We've got a thread on it too and it's an interesting read if you're into this sort of thing.

Most of the AI tech under scrutiny is absolutely braindead but very good at clogging up social networks with posts that look real at first glance and convincing people to go along with a crowd narrative is a lot easier than getting them to buy and evangelize a narrative on their own.

I'm thankful for all the links and videos, but I shouldn't have to say this:

ARCHIVE
EVERYTHING

websites will be changed, videos will be deleted. if you can copy&paste an url into your post doing the same with an archive site only takes a few seconds more. if you don't know how, look here: https://kiwifarms.net/threads/archival-tools.6561
(inb4 I didn't archive the link).

This is gonna sound really melodramatic and dumb but in the event that the government decides to go full exceptional individual with their coof measures, I’m hoping my refusal to get the vaccine will keep my parents tendency towards maintaining the status quo in check. It’ll be harder to agree that all the unvaccinated should be put into camps or something if such a policy would directly affect one of their own children. And if they’d agree with such a thing regardless, then at least I know where their true allegiance lies.

preface: I'm a blackpill fag, so take it with a boulder of salt, but:
it might hurt them, they might regret it, but if it comes to it there's a good chance you'll end up in a camp. look at any example throughout history, it's just how most humans work. of course not everyone will, but in numbers they're a minority. remember, it's for the greater good and for your own good. you're just being stupid, and they know what's best for you since you obviously do not. after all you're just their dumb child, and the experts on the telly obviously know better than you ever could.
it's simple propaganda, playing on emotions. if it's not fear it's empathy, same difference.

now, I don't think we'll ever get to that point because other shit will have gone down the drain beforehand (just look at the current supply issues which won't get better anytime soon given how fucked the system is), but still I wouldn't completely trust family. same way parents found out after their kids snitched on them.

boy this is gonna give me stickers...

So I heard a new conspiracy from a very drunk dive bar patron last night. It was hard to make out all the details but he believes that:
Covid was released in response to a self aware facial recognition AI that was building a database of readily available turn-key "deep fakes" to give unilateral power through media manipulation and blackmail of high level officials to, of all places, North Korea working hand in hand with China.

He was built like a tank with a vaguely eastern european accent but throwing off cop vibes. He paid in cash. Dressed in jeans with sloppy and greasy black hair but his watch looked like a rolex and his shoes were expensive. It took him almost an hour to finish his crazy tale, starting with the Korean War, CIA, Drug Running... it was great. I asked if he was vaxxed and he said, "Of course." Before he left he showed me the tiny 38 revolver he had in a tiny little shoulder holster. Then a woman, I'm assumng a prostitue from the outfit, met him. He didn't buy her a drink, he just wobbled out the door leaning on her.

I'm also pretty sure this guy puked all over the men's room toilet so I don't put much stock in his theory.

The sad thing is that his theory is much more believable than the delusion that the gubmint is doing all of this for our own good.

A true tragedy.

There we go. My formerly cautious company just let us know that they'll require either a jab card or a daily PCR test to "keep the office safe".

So how's that "Whaaaaaaaat? There will never be such thing as a vax passport, the nerve of suggesting such a thing!" bullshit taste, lurking Branch Covidians? You don't have to get the jab, nobody's forcing you! You just have to pay for the humiliation a cotton swab stabbing the back of your nose every day for the rest of your life to prove you don't have a fucking cold. That's not coercion!

But see, jab cards from SIX MONTHS AGO for a shot that verifiably, at best, give you a few weeks of immunity, that's fine. You're now invincible to the common cold forever.

How the literal tittyfuck do these people still not get that this illogical mental backflippery has nothing, NOTHING to do with health?

Recent issues of the Bongland Vaccine Surveillance Report have been causing raised eyebrows due to their useful numbers given per 100,000. This has, for example, allowed us to see that you are 2.5 more likely to have the coof while 2xvaxed than notvaxed.

Sadly, the government hate to provide anything to the public benefit, and the information has not been included on the most recent report (week 43)
