We also learned not that long ago what the BBC condone happening to young people , on their very premises even. Were you on BBC breakfast earlier? They interviewed an under 30 year old who, and he was 100% serious, said he wouldn't take the vaccination as it could track your movements and see your bank account. 😆😆😆 A serious contender for being sectioned I would suggest. There was also a young female with asthma who wouldn't take the vaccination as she'd heard it could be bad for her condition. I despair.

That being said, there are many conspiracy theories that have turned out to be true over the years. Was covid released by a shady elite in a bid to restructure society? Probably not.

"Never let a good crisis go to waste" - Winston Churchill Was Covid released from the Wuhan Institute of Virology? It could have been. I'm not sure that we will ever know for sure... If that was true, the evidence is long gone by now The way I see it, the most likely conspiracy that could arise, would be linked to the massive deals that have been made between governments and corporations to deal with the pandemic. Especially where politicians or their family/friends can make money from owning shares in the company. I remember watching an episode of Dragons Den where someone had made an almost indestructible cable to plug in to an electric guitar. The dragons declined him, as the item was too good - it could only be sold once to a customer and there would be no future potential for profit. I'm pretty sure Apple could make a far sturdier charging cable for their iPhone's, but they choose not to, due to $$$ Where am I going with this? With MRNA technology, the company making the vaccine knows that as long as Covid exists, they will continue to make $$$ from booster jabs If for example - Pfizer, make too good a vaccine, straight off the bat - no further boosters would be required, and their profits would dry up... If I was to bet money on a theory that turns out to be true, it would be that the vaccines will be manufactured in such a way that covid continues to exist in a manageable way - which would also allow governments to maintain restrictions... to deal with climate change / achieve target of net zero by 2030 by restricting international travel. Which all falls under the blueprint for Klaus Schwab's "Great Reset" and the "Build Back Better" campaign, which almost every government worldwide is using as a campaign slogan.

That being said MANY more have turned out to be complete fabrication. You forget to mention the $$$ companies spend on developing drugs, many which are "loss leaders" and many that don't see the light of day. What makes you think Pfizers profits would dry up, they were doing more than OK before Covid appeared? I don't buy this "conspiracy theory" either as you forget to mention the cost, never mind the countless effects this has had on the general public.

At development stage, yes they make losses, but they will fully expect a return on that later. A lot less work required once the vaccine is developed. They know will make $$$ on the boosters. That’s why we are now using MRNA technology instead of traditional vaccines. They can edit it depending on what risks we are facing, bit like updating anti-virus software on a PC. If you read Klaus Scwab’s books, his point is basically that Stakeholder Capitalism should replace Shareholder Capitalism. There will be less focus on profit and more focus on societal issues. He did also predict that populations would become more and more resistant, and measures would need to be taken to counter that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A vague set of proposals from an influential organisation has been transformed by online conspiracy theorists into a powerful viral rallying cry. What is the truth behind the "Great Reset"?

He explained the idea behind the Great Reset in an article accompanying the launch: "The pandemic represents a rare but narrow window of opportunity to reflect, reimagine, and reset our world to create a healthier, more equitable, and more prosperous future." There's a Great Reset podcast and even a 280-page book. But the plan is light on specific detail. Prof Schwab does speak about a "wealth tax" and ending fossil fuel subsidies. But the scope is huge - covering technology, climate change, the future of work, international security and other themes - and it's difficult to see precisely what the Great Reset might mean in practice. This lack of clarity, combined with the plan being launched by an influential organisation, provided fertile ground for conspiracy theories to grow.

Aye so, to get back on topic - one of the emerging technologies connected to this blueprint for the future / window of opportunity is MRNA vaccination. I can't pretend to be a virologist, but the technology is essentially a "smart" version of vaccination that gives your immune system instructions based on the latest variant. As I said before, a bit like anti-virus software getting regular updates. I'd be curious to know why the media/government aren't being transparent with the public about the full extent of booster jabs. How often will the public be expected to get them? Will they be mandatory? My hunch is that explaining that to the public now - would risk resistance to the initial 2 jabs, but I do think they are setting themselves up for a lot more resistance later, due to a lack of transparency. They might very well be right and this technology might be the only way to stop the virus running out of control, but it's all a bit teacher - pupil, as far as I can tell.

Why would you not be cautious of a new biotechnology that’s been granted emergency use authorisation to be injected into every human on the planet? Why would you not be concerned that you’ll need to “show your papers” to enter a venue? It concerns me how easily some of you are prepared to hand over your basic freedoms.

Does it not occur to you that no one knows how long the immunity from the vaccines will last, whether regular boosters will be necessary and how often they might be necessary?

Freedoms are earned and the backdrop to that changes all the time-this virus is just another example of how humans cannot plan everything and need to adapt their behaviours in order to survive, which is one of the reasons we have become a dominant species Edited July 24, 2021 by beyond our ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you not be concerned that you’ll need to “show your papers” to enter a venue? I agree. Let children visit brothels and drink in pubs… even if they are 9 years old but claim to be 45 yo. Let anyone drive a vehicle without qualifications or insurance… I’m guessing that you already accept similar restrictions to the one that you’re bitching about, here? It concerns me how easily some of you are prepared to hand over your basic freedoms. If the vaccine is so great, why is there so much fear of the unvaccinated? You are already trading your so-called basic freedoms so you can participate in civilised society. So… No big deal. The vaccine gives some protection but, so far, all vaccines have been frank about their limitations. They ARE great, they are amazing. But not perfect yet. As humans always do, we get better, improve things, flourish! let the virus continue to spread freely and it will continue to mutate into something to which society does not yet have an answer. And then you(as well as thousands more) WILL be truly f**ked. It’s all got very dystopian. Dystopia is in the eye of the beholder. in my eyes, a vaccinated world has a remarkably sunny sheen to it!

It's not just an idea that someone came up with in response to this virus, it's something that has been getting worked on for decades.It's not fear of the unvaccinated, it's concern for those who, for medical reasons, cannot get the vaccine and for others who could be severely affected by even mild symptoms.
