Corona Virus Update 8

[sahgwa]

Did anyone else get a letter from their employer and told to present if stopped or if they put up check points? My wife got one and one of my brother in law got one too. They really thought they were going to lock us all completely down like we saw in other countries.

I am thankful that my boss has always been very liberty minded and there was never any talk of vaccine blablabla at work.  Just stupid masks.

She gave us a letter to show cops if needed to explain why we were out driving, going to work as we were 'essential workers' .
I never had to use it though.

In fact I miss the days when I was the only one on the road, even at normal busy times like 2 in the afternoon. LOL it was glorious.

I would go to my spot and play drums and go to the store or gas station and never had to wait for shit. And yeah I am in a purple but sometimes very blue county and at the smaller 'normal' /local businesses a lot of the workers and myself didnt care about masks so we enjoyed just being normal without all the crowds.

I figured there were others. I wonder if certain places were directed to hand those out, or if it was just wishful thinking that those would be of any value had they really shut the whole thing down.

My employer gave such letters to all those who wanted them. They weren't mandatory and the police didn't have any right to demand them but my colleagues who drove to work complained they were stopped by the overzealous policemen and asked stupid questions. One even had troubles with a twat of an officer who didn't believe she was going to work.

I didn't ask the employer for the letter, I didn't need it. I sometimes met the police on my way not only to work but they never stopped to ask me where I was going. But I was traveling by bus, train or walking on foot. I guess it's because an average police guy treats car drivers as potential criminals. Like "the f**ker is in his car so he must be up to some mischief as usual." This is what the work routine does to your brain.

That's sad. Just more signs on how EU dictatoriat noses into citizens lives :( Pandemic or no..

I love Europe for the old culture and level of basic education but sadly the groupthink and totalitarian leanings have always been strong.

Hence the whole migration to the New World....

I have no doubt that if such a 'Pandemic' was called again that even less people would submit in the USA, do you think Europe in general, and also let's say Poland,  would be more, less, or about the same in human compliance to dictates?

I like how you state so people can make informed decision for themselves because that wasn't the option at the time. I was told to take an experimental drug with insufficient clinical trials or starve. Which for me would constitute making a decision under duress which no court would uphold as a true decision, however the first thing I'm told is well they gave you a choice.

That's not true. I recall you could pass on the vax if your doctor wrote you an exclusion note.

If you ever bothered to read the Nuremberg Code, a summary of the hard lessons of war, treating people like lab rats ain't cool.

Did not come across many cases of a bullet or injection. The level of cohesion was pushing hard. The governments could only go so far, not a national guard matter. As for the WEF corporate world, take the jab or lose your family and house, lot of cases of that at the time.

I think that depended on the situation...where you work, go to school, what government entity.
So, you could not always get out of the jab.

In order to get an exclusion note from most any doctor, you would have had to suffer an allergic reaction so severe, you would have died, or become completely debilitated.  By then it would have been too late.

Not where I worked, the CEO of the company told me to my face he wasn't going to honor any exceptions.

It is worse if that is possible. Resident Lurker was very ill with Covid in January 2020. He was in very serious shape when the jabs became available to the public. When he saw his Dr., who gave him nothing during all that time, he insisted that he take it.
RL pointed out to him that he was very allergic to a component in it- the response- take it anyway.

The on-going campaign to pressure him was relentless. Telephone calls, texts, letters. I'm surprised that they didn't come to the house and use force to inject him.
I imagine his name must have been put on some database because he soon started getting contacted by the CDC requesting his views on vaccines.

What ever happened to "Do no harm."

That Dr has mysteriously disappeared from the practice. The new one is no better.
