2/25/21: THANK SCIENCE – OVERTHINKING IN THE ATTENTION ECONOMY W/ RONNIE MCMULLEN

Posted on February 25th, 2021 by Clyde Lewis

MONOLOGUE WRITTEN BY CLYDE LEWIS

Yesterday, my wife had to get her second vaccine shot. She works for the school district and so it is mandatory to get vaccinated. Today she had to stay home form work because she had a mild reaction to the vaccine. It was the typical achiness, slight fever, same side affects you get after you get a flu shot.

I was a little concerned and she told me not to worry because it was all manageable but it was enough to keep her in bed and off work.

I went downstairs and I noticed that on the desk where we keep our mail there was an enamel pin—it looked like a syringe wrapped in a car that said in bold letters “THANKS SCIENCE.”

It looks like she made a donation to help “Voices for Vaccines.”

Now, I am not angry or critical about this but what got me is that this little pin can be worn to indicate that all is well – my wife is vaccinated and we are to thank science for all the blessings they give us.

I have said before how I get annoyed over how when people are confronted with uncomfortable second opinions about COVID-19 they dismiss it saying that they follow the science—now we are to thank this monolithic hero called science – the savior of all of us against this invisible enemy.

Many of you know that recently I was banned from YouTube for a few days because I mentioned COVID-19 in one of my videos. Their terms of service are now unbelievable. Whatever bots they use are very thorough because I no sooner put the video online and they take it down which has me suspicious about how that it appears that I am being flagged because I am not all in with this whole worshiping of mad science – that is science that has it’s roots in eugenics.

Unfortunately, it appears that this is what we will be experiencing in this new vaccinated normal.

And for that you can thank science.

Over the long weekend I was watching some of the news programs that appeared to be rounding up many well-known black Americans and having them go on TV and tell other Black Americans to take the vaccine.

It was wrapped in some half-baked attempt at honoring Black History month – and in the process the media kind of skimmed over the reasons why Black America does not trust the vaccine.

One reporter started talking about the Tuskegee incident and stated “We know that it is hard to read about how these men caught syphilis and how they were left to suffer without being helped andundefined I screamed at the TV – the men did not catch syphilis they were given syphilis – on purpose – it was literally an experiment on Black American Airmen.

Well, here is a dark page in Black History.

Starting in 1932, 600 African American men from Macon County, Alabama were enlisted to partake in a scientific experiment on syphilis. The “Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis in the Negro Male,” was conducted by the United States Public Health Service and involved blood tests, x-rays, spinal taps and autopsies of the subjects.

The goal was to “observe the natural history of untreated syphilis” in black populations, but the subjects were completely unaware and were instead told they were receiving treatment for bad blood when in fact, they received no treatment at all.

It was a case of Black Fetishism meets pseudoscience as science at the time had a fascination with the sexual appetites and habits of black men.

To really understand the heinous nature of the Tuskegee Experiment requires some societal context, a lot of history, and a realization of just how many times government agencies were given a chance to stop this human experimentation but didn’t. You also need to understand that for 40 years mad science and eugenics practices were somehow justified especially on minority groups.

There is also another story that the media ignores and that is the story of Henrietta Lacks.

The “immortal” cells of Henrietta Lacks were shared without her consent and have been used in medical research for more than 70 years. The most recent application includes COVID vaccine research, yet her family has received no financial benefit.

A study led by Dr. Giselle Corbie-Smith at the University of North Carolina identified distrust of the medical community as a prominent barrier to African American participation in clinical research. Another of Corbie-Smith’s peer-reviewed studies found that distrust in medical research is significantly higher among African Americans than whites.

African Americans also disproportionately experience unequal treatment in the modern-day health care system. These experiences of bias and discrimination fuel the problem of vaccine hesitancy and mistrust. Lower prioritization for hospital admissions and lifesaving care for COVID-19-related illness among African Americans was reported in Massachusetts in April 2020. Massachusetts subsequently changed its guidelines, yet across the U.S. there is a lack of data and transparent reporting on this phenomenon.

The current messaging of vaccine importance may seem tone-deaf to those in a community who wonder why their health is so important now, at the vaccine stage. Black health didn’t appear to be a priority during the pandemic’s first wave, when race disparities in COVID emerged.

Also the messaging of vaccine discretion and critical thinking is also being discouraged everyone.

There was an op ed that was published in the New York times that claims that people are overthinking about the vaccine and that critical thinking is not helping.

Michael Caulfield, who is a a digital literacy expert at Washington State University-Vancouver, claims that at this very moment, more people are fighting for the opportunity to lie to you than at perhaps any other point in human history with regard to the vaccine and climate change.

He sends out a warning about misinformation and how we should avoid rabbit holes. He warns that natural human mind-set is a liability in an attention economy. It allows grifters, conspiracy theorists, trolls and savvy attention hijackers to take advantage of us and steal our focus way from what is important.

He then goes on to say “Think about YouTube conspiracy theorists or many QAnon or anti-vaccine influencers. Their tactic, is to flatter viewers while overloading them with three-hour videos laced with debunked claims and pseudoscience, as well as legitimate information. “The internet offers this illusion of explanatory depth,” he said. “Until 20 seconds ago, you’d never thought about, say, race and IQ, but now, suddenly, somebody is treating you like an expert. It’s flattering your intellect, and so you engage, but you don’t really stand a chance.”

He says that critical thinking, as we’re taught to do it, isn’t helping in the fight against misinformation.

So in other words we are overthinking the vaccine and COVID-19 and that all of those who are critical – are holding back progress.

Critical thinking leads to “vaccine hesitancy,” which is why corporations are working with governments to immediately censor any and all content that deviates from the official COVID-19 narrative and de-platform the authors of such content, or discredit them as “anti-vax disinformationists.”

For example, Children’s Health Defense, which has been reporting on so-called “adverse events” and deaths in connection with the COVID vaccines, despite the fact that, according to the authorities, “there are no safety problems with the vaccines” and “there is no link between COVID-19 vaccines and those who die after receiving them.”

In fact, according to the “fact-checkers” at Reuters, these purported “reports of adverse events” “may contain information that is incomplete, inaccurate, coincidental, or unverifiable!”

Yes, you’re reading between the lines right?

The corporate media can’t come right out and say it, but it appears the “anti-vax disinformationists” are fabricating “adverse events” out of thin air.

These disinformationists are somehow using made-up stories to threaten the mainstream media in order to lure people into “vaccine hesitancy” and stop us from vaccinating every man, woman, and child in the physical universe, repeatedly, on an ongoing basis, for as long as the “medical experts” deem necessary.

And then there are all the people on Facebook sharing their stories of loved ones who have died shortly after receiving the COVID vaccine, who the Facebook “fact checkers” are doing their utmost to discredit with their official-looking “fact-check notices.

I know that it is uncomfortable to have to face things like Facebook implying that these people are lying or are using the sudden deaths of their loved ones to discourage others from getting vaccinated, especially if you’re just trying to follow orders and parrot official propaganda … even the most fanatical Covidian Cultists probably still have a shred of human empathy buried deep in their cold little hearts.

But you can’t let that get in the way of an information war now can you?

You are either with the science or against it! This is no time to get squeamish, or publicly exhibit an ounce of compassion.

What would your friends and colleagues think of you?

You are now being told to switch off your critical-thinking faculties, and get in line to get your vaccination!

The fate of the human species depends on it!

The most bothersome thing of all that as we are mourning the loss of 500,000 Americans form COVID-19 – we have a President who was so highly critical of the previous administration and how they handled the disease now saying that there is nothing much he can do besides wait for it to go away.

He is hoping that the vaccine will somehow magically bring us herd immunity – and when it does, I am sure he will take credit for the change in the wind.

There is no talk for preventative medicine, or supplemental vitamins you can take to keep your immune system up and efficient—nothing. The only answer is a vaccine, mask wearing and hand washing – and anyone who speaks of any kind of cheat codes – like eating right, resting, taking vitamin supplements or other members are told that they are critical thinkers, disinformationists, anti vaxxers – tin foil hat nut cases.

The scientific technocracy wants to assure everyone that the vaccine is an absolutely safe, non-experimental, messenger-RNA vaccine that teaches your cells to produce a protein that triggers an immune response, just like your body’s immune-system response, only better – why is it better?

Because the Big Pharma corporations spent all this time and money on making it as a gift for everyone—and how dare you refuse this gift from science?

This non-experimental experimental vaccine is truly an historic development, because apart from saving the world from a virus that causes mild to moderate flu-like symptoms (or, more commonly, no symptoms whatsoever) in roughly 95% of those infected, and that over 99% of those infected survive, the possibilities for future applications of messenger-RNA technology, and the genetic modification of humans, generally, is virtually unlimited at this point.

Imagine all the diseases we can cure, and all the genetic “mistakes” we can fix, now that we can reprogram people’s genes to do whatever we want … cancer, heart disease, dementia, blindness, not to mention the common cold.

It is just a miracle and you must not overthink it – be critical of it or put faith in building an immune system with a good diet, exercise, vitamin supplementation and physical checkups form your doctor.

This is never mentioned – only that it is the vaccine that is the only way to find acceptance in this world.

The only thing standing in their way is people’s totally irrational resistance to letting corporations redesign the human organism, which, the tell us was rather poorly designed, and thus is vulnerable to all these horrible diseases, and emotional and behavioral disorders.

The official COVID narratives are mutating in ways that threaten to make it a forever phenomenon; unsurprisingly, to anyone who’s been paying attention. The technocrats, in league with the Deep State and its political lapdogs—are hell-bent on eliminating voices of dissent on various Internet platforms.

It is becoming difficult to have a discussion about what needs to be done online because you start treading in territory that gets you on the short list for the cancel culture.

Can we consider that the digital world in general has now reached the point perhaps long past the point where it serves the oppressors far more than it serves us?

When does acceptance become surrender?

Critical thinking is not a bad thing – discernment is a good thing – getting information about good health starts with you – it should be directed by good doctors and responsible health care professionals.

Granted there are conspiracy theories and strange opinions out there, but this has been going on log before we had the internet and sometimes the placebo effect is just as good if not better than no effect at all.

Information has now been weaponized on behalf of the ruling class. And their agenda relies heavily on pumping up the vaccine.

This should be worthy of consideration when you make that choice as to whether or not you take the vaccine.
