Now, personally I think it would be funnier if Rogan came out and said that to mock people. But that's just going to be the narrative now: anyone that tries Ivermetcin is going to be claiming to take a horse dewormer now.
I've already seen this on social media. I didn't think to capture it, but someone posted a meme above Ivermeticin and Trump with a reference to a stable. It made me wish someone was brave enough to shitpost a reply asking if they were saying Trump was stable and Biden wasn't.
By the way, NBA players on the Knicks, Nets, and Lakers have been told that they need to get the jab in order to play home games. Surprisingly for some reason, the visiting team doesn't need to be jabbed to play.
This is one of the things that's confused me with COVID restrictions. There are numerous restrictions about not letting people travel, cross borders, or do certain things without a full vaccination. However, others are allowed do so without impunity, rhyme, or reason. If anything, this seems like it could be an indirect reason for additional cases, but those in charge have plenty of reasons they use to hand-wave or otherwise dismiss that assertion.
Went out with friends. They were talking about a new high school under construction has issues re: crowding and stuff, especially while the old school is right up against it and being demolished.
In my region, a city is supposed to be consolidating two schools into one between now and next year. One of the existing buildings is to be torn down once a new, bigger building is completed and ready for use next fall.
I'm almost wondering if both the new school and the older one that won't be torn down might each remain used if school officials feel it necessary due to COVID or distancing regulations restricting the number of people allowed in a classroom.
Some advice: Every time you don't know what's true anymore, you believe one thing but "reality" is telling you another, and you ask yourself, "Am I crazy?", that's proof that the gaslighting is working. Not that this helps you determine what's any more true.
That's the hardest thing through all of this, especially for those of us who were taught to make informed decisions in these type of situations. Mass media is so biased now that it's difficult at best to make the informed decisions needed to get through this. The endless amount of conflicting information coming from the so-called authority figures definitely feels like gaslighting especially when all that's said boils down to, "Trust the science," without any sort of logic or rationale behind it.
For some reason I can't directly quote @Gorilla Tessellator:
I am sure it's the big part of the plan. Keep you on the edge at all times. I feel the impact of it on myself. The future seems to be more uncertain than ever. And then I remember two things:
1. the future is ALWAYS uncertain. One day a person is healthy and happy, next week he is diagnosed with cancer
2. the powers that be are no more in control of the future than we are. They have only an illusion of control. Yes, they have armies, propaganda and shit ton of money, but unpredictable events that will humble their hubris are going to pop up every time.
I feel similarly, both in terms of feeling the impact and about the uncertainty/control aspects. I can only control myself, and nobody deserves unnecessary control over me. I'll do what's needed while trying to live my life as free of needless panic as possible. Life is too short and uncertain to let someone else entirely dictate what happens.
