Plenty of people love this shit, get off on being in lockdown, like they are kids having some exciting new experience. It's seriously fucked up. Mind control see.

My main issue with that fella in that post was that he has basic facts about things wrong. He us happy to use stuff that is incorrect to push his agenda.

Once he's done that he's fair game.
Does that Max guy gave anything other than videos? If I can't read it I don't trust it. (If I can read it I'm not much different to be honest.)

Just one thing about masks....
I for one think it is great that now we can get masked again!
Previously laws were passed in many places banning being masked in public. This also here in Finland, masking yourself to cover your identity in demonstrations and so on was made illegal. Well, not anymore. Now you can mask all you want.
Put on a hoodie and sunglasses on top of that, and you are good to go.

I love it! She's adorable. She raises the point that Vietnam knows how to repel an invader, whereas the US has never really been invaded, so it doesn't know what to do and can't even follow its own plans for the eventuality. Americans are *special*!
I think all medical procedures entail risk. On the balance of risks between vaccines and not having vaccines I would tend on the side of vaccinations. I have a scar from a smallpox vaccination and like most Australian kids my age grew up reading Alan Marshall - I can jump puddles and its sequels. It's the story of a kid growing up in rural Victoria in the decade before ww1 who gets polio and is disabled by it. It's his autobiography and it's an amazing tale of courage and resilience. My brother is five years younger than me. He doesn't have that smallpox scar because when he was old enough to first travel to Fiji to dads home smallpox had been eradicated and vaccines played a role in that that is significant.
Vaccines have done a lot of good in the world and as far as I'm concerned people who don't recognise are intellectual minnows.
But I know corporate medicine is a very dodgy business. I know of significant bad practises, especially in developing countries, but also in the West. It's possible to make a flu vaccine that lasts for years. There are proteins that can be targeted that don't mutate, at least not anywhere near the rate of the target sites in modern flu vaccines. I don't take flu vaccines. I almost started after the 2017 flu because it's one of the few times in my life I've felt a flu or cold - a commonly transmissible disease - could kill me. But I didn't.
My kids are vaccinated.
The eldest one has ADHD and probably some form of autism or ASD.

Come at me.
Come at me? Sounds like a hostile, Aussie expression.
I simply asked, and you distinctly answered my 'loaded question'. I'm not a professional and certainly won't force my considered 'opinion' on such an important personal decision.

"Come at me" is generally a joke appended to a forthright personal statement that people might disagree with. I use it all the time... the last time was "Stereophonics are good. Come at me."

The first video is factually accurate even if an animation. This, or these should be helpful to those seeking a better understanding of how Covid-19 functions by using our own body's defenses against us.
Seriously if you don't you will regret it for the rest of your life.
Mighty Boosh v some Qld campaigner talking about conspiracies? It's no contest.
Wrex was right. Conspiracy theory has become illiterate. So I'm slowly reading my way thru Igans stuff and wondering if it's worth finding his local pub for a chat when the border opens. Some us cool, some is a bit rubbish. A lot of this stuff seems like another fiorm of the marketing of identity politics. Not specifically Igan tho. I haven't read enough to offer lucky a considered opinion.
And yeah, what Zen Horse says. It's sposed to mean the opposite of the way you took it.
