6 is also me, except I escaped when I could from Melbourne, seeing the writing on the wall, with days to spare otherwise I'd still be separated from my family. Since then Jacinda has decided to go for the title of Jacinda the Insane. But she always was scum, it's just that she did a good job of hiding it.

My tennis club, probably only 20% vaxxed in reality, mandated the vaccine pass. I seem to be the only casualty of that, it being class warfare in all likelihood.

I've also gone over to the dark side, I am now anti vaccination, any vaccination. I think they're pseudo science and bio warfare. All of them.

Yes I never even questioned vaccination before all of this. Talk about a rude awakening

I never used to either, but then I heard about how my new sister in law had been injured by the HPV vaccine and has been struggling with autoimmune issues and peripheral neuropathy ever since, and it's taken a sledgehammer to her quality of life on many days. And now this happens...

I was never afraid of COVID. I knew it was a fear porn show from early on, which is easy to see when you go into it assuming everything you hear on the news or from the government is a lie (unless proven otherwise).

I'd previously been a strategic pro-vax type. I would not object to a vax that was sensible given the risks. I'd vaccinate for tropical diseases if I were going to the tropics, that kind of thing. But I would not vax for a disease that I do not believe poses a threat to me. It just fails on the cost-benefit analysis. The risk of an adverse reaction is not zero on any vaccine, and just by their nature they are fairly high risk as far as pharmaceutical products go. If I had kids, I would object to the massive number of things on the vax scuedule, with most of them just there to pad the coffers of the vax companies. Chickenpox? I had it. We all did back then. No big deal for kids. Not worth the risk of an adverse reaction for something like that. Childhood and especially infant vaccines should be kept to the things that are truly life threatening and are an actual threat.

Or that was how I used to look at it. Now I have to assume that what is happening with COVID vaccines is also the case with the others. It has emerged during all of this that the flu vaccines are a scam too. I've never had one, but now I would extend that to all others. I must assume that they are all inadequately tested and that their "safe" test results are fraudulent, and that the FDA knows this and went along with it, because that is what the FDA does.

Really interesting post.

What percentage of the Australian population do you think is in each group?

Obviously just my opinion...

1. 10

2. 10

3. 30

4. 10

5. 30

6. 10

I think a lot of people are in 3 because they believed the government when they said vaccination was the answer. They wanted to go back to normal and it was the easiest option. A lot of my friends’ young adult children are in this group. Also a lot of universities and other schooling institutions mandated the vaccine so unless they wanted to abandon their studies it was easier just to comply.

And I think many more are in 5 than the government realises. There are a LOT of people questioning the need for these vaccines but losing your job and potentially being homeless is a potent motivator.

I think the 1s and 2s are probably there to stay. But everyone from 3 on can eventually become a 6. Unfortunately it’s taking a long time.

I've been in group six for a LOOOOOOONNNNNNNGGGGGGG time. Way before "covid". Except the off grid thing. I think it's important to stay in communities. No matter where we live, there are *always* people of like mind. Sometimes hard to find them of course. But, if/when it really gets bad, "going it alone" (except in very rare cases) just won't work. Even if we don't necessarily like the people who are of like mind, we can certainly exchange knowledge, skills and items with them if need be. The one thing I've seen happen over the last two years that really has bothered me are the people "fleeing" places they love thinking that they will escape tyranny. Standing firm where we are, educating ourselves about how to manage life without all of the "goodies" we've been used to, finding those who agree and finding the *liberty* *inside of ourselves* and having the courage to practice/live it has always been the answer. For years. Great post my friend.
