Someone from Infowarz could explicitly say, "I am an evil person. I am here to hurt you. Here are the ways I intend to cause harm: ..." And people will rush forward, begging, "Me first!"

It's weird that Robert and my doctor used the same greeting today.

We had hints in the previous episodes, but now I realise I'm going to relive the rise of the pandemic vicariously through listening to these episodes, and it feels so weird. It was really an unusual phenomenon in history, with the whole world going through kind of the same emotions and restrictions at the same time, and it will remain like a weird resonance point for everyone who lived it

it's so weird seeing people already talking about the pandemic in the past-tense when 9/11s-worth of people still die from COVID weekly

The reality is a lot less pleasant than the headcannon. Beaver oil (castoreum) comes from castor sacs, which are scent "glands" around the anus of beavers, used for marking territory.

And so, the pandemic era of the podcast begins...

Likewise in Dutch influenza is 'Griep'.

The Mike Adams piece had interdimensional cable vibes.

It always really bugged me when people abbreviated "novel coronavirus" to just "coronavirus". There's shitloads of viruses that can be called "coronavirus" that weren't nearly this bad. The scientist who called it that was waiting for agencies to give it an official designation (the eventual name "SARS-COV-2") and used "this novel coronavirus" as a placeholder name until a real name came. The "novel" part was the relevant part of that name that describes why it was bad, not the "coronavirus" part. It was only bad because the immune system takes longer to find a solution when it doesn't have anything already on file that's close, and during that extra time it needs, the virus is damaging more and more of your respiratory system. Why this was relevant is not because I want to downplay covid-19, but because I want to "up-play" all the other "minor flus" we think are a bit fat nothing. They're all just as bad it's just that our immune systems fight them faster purely because of familiarity and nothing more. When people were talking about Covid-19 being somehow different because immunity diminishes after a while, or about people still getting infected even after vaccination, I wanted to scream out, "That's Not A Difference! That's What The Not-Novel Viruses Do Too." The medical community describing immunity as a Boolean property is terrible messaging that really helped the anti-vaxxer crowd. There is no such thing as an immune system that can fight a virus that hasn't gotten into your bloodstream yet. They don't have ranged weapons. The immune system fights in melee only. You *always* get infected, even to the things you are "immune" to. It's just that when your response is high, that infection is killed off fast before symptoms are noticable. If it's really fast it gets killed off before the concentration gets big enough that tests can show a positive result. But to describe all that as total immunity laid the groundwork for anti-vaxxers saying a vaccine that doesn't prevent infection is not a vaccine. (Even though immunity never prevents infection. It just kills it off fast enough to keep you from noticing it.) It's not "do or do not have immunity" dammit. It's "immunity is stronger or weaker". It's a continuum, not a Boolean property.

I guess it's down to emotion and panic, but I don't get how someone doesn't hear a guy saying "It's over, here comes the slaughter of the masses" and think "Huh, I'm going to remember this guy's name in case he says something else".

It strikes me as odd that Alex Jones would advertise a product by saying that the Pentagon uses it.

Well, in his mind the "Elites" know about all the real cures, but are keeping them secret. A not insignificant grift is claiming to have insider secrets, kinda like a walmart brand Q, but I think he's done this since before Qanon was a thing

To be fair, I know a lot of nurses who strip down right at the door and have a special hamper nearby just for their work clothes... Then proceed directly to the shower.
