I want to write about “The Narrative”.
I should have done this a while ago, but it’s very important now because I believe that in the coming months, we will see this unravel more and more, and see some things become “common knowledge” that will go against The Narrative.
What do I mean when I write “The Narrative” (and why do I put it in quotes)?
This is the story that has been told throughout this pandemic and presumed to be Capital “T” Truth. It has soaked into the collective conscious so that most people assume it’s true and then either (a) accept it as truth or (b) accept it and promote it as truth.
But I firmly believe that most (if not all) of this “Narrative” is based on untruths or half-truths. I have believed this for a while, btw, but that belief has become more and more confident as more information is revealed and as I have applied basic logic and “follow the incentive” rationale.
Side note: the 1.0 relates to what I see as a shifting narrative since the start of 2022. I will write soon about “The Narrative 2.0”.
So let’s outline some of these statements that have been made that make up the basis of “The Narrative”:
This virus was of natural origin
The response/management of our “leaders” was appropriate, proportional and effective
The vaccines are safe and effective
Masks work well to keep the virus away
You wear your mask to protect me, I wear my mask to protect you
Children need to be vaccinated to protect others (like Grandma)
Children wearing masks all day are a good idea. (They are resilient after all!)
There are no adverse events from these vaccines (i.e. they are “safe”)
There are no effective treatments, only the vaccine
Well, there is Remdesivir, which is an effective and safe treatment
These vaccines are FDA approved
Getting a 2nd shot, and boosters (every 3 months?), are good, sound science
Previous Covid-19 infection is irrelevant (aka natural immunity doesn’t matter)
The pandemic is driven by the unvaccinated
Covid-19 is deadly serious to everyone, everywhere
Hospitals are overflowing with Covid-19 patients
Mis/Dis-information kills people so it must be immediately censored
HCQ is just fish-bowl cleaner. And it’s toxic. And it’ll kill you. And it doesn’t help
IVM is just horse dewormer. And it’s toxic. And it’ll kill you. And it doesn’t help
Mandates are a good idea for the safety and health of the community
There are probably more (and I may edit this to include more) but that’s a good list that encompasses the majority of “The Narrative”.
I will write soon about how I believe that all of these are NOT TRUE (or at best half-true).
In short, The Narrative could be summed up as: “there is only one way forward (vaccines / masks) and it’s serious enough that it needs to be forced on everyone”.
This Narrative is a combination of the efforts of people in power (leaders like Pres. Biden, Macron, Trudeau, etc.), “experts” in power (like Fauci, Gates), organizations in power (like CDC, FDA, NIH, NIAID, etc.), platforms in power (like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube), “news” in power (CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NYT, WSJ, etc.) and money in power (like Pharma, Wall Street)
It’s no wonder that so many people have succumbed to this Narrative. A LOT of strong forces/voices have pushed it.
In my estimation, the biggest “tell” that this is “The Narrative” is simply this:
When people have been censored for challenging The Narrative (as I have, and others I’ve witnessed), it’s a very strong signal that something is up… something nefarious, most likely.
More to come soon.
