I can assure you, I’ve explored as many links as you have, on every possible angle of situation, and believe me, I look beyond what any fucking authorities tell me, and I don’t subscribe to any of it. So cut the condescension and know-it-all attitude. I am so sick of it. I simply told an honest story of my experience with the vaccine passport. I haven’t had many viruses in my life, but I do know what one feels like in my body, whether it can be “isolated” or not, whatever that even means. Don’t tell me what I understand or don’t understand about what’s going on in the world. You haven’t got a clue what I know or understand and nor do you care. But you feel you someone have to respond to a genuine human account of experience with an attitude of judgement, superiority, and disdain. You know so bloody much, and you’re sure you’re right on everything. In fact, it’s so important to be “right,” isn’t it? Isn’t that what your fucking identity s all about, being oh, so clever, and oh, so right?

Yes. Sadly, the most extreme denialists of ANY reality have brought great harm to this debate, made all look ridiculous, and caused the institutions to dig in their heels, so the "total deniers" are JUST as fear-mongering as the institutions they claim to be against. Had reasoned principle push-back dominated, instead of all reality denial, I think possibly the authoritarians might not have been so empowered. Harm from both extremes.
