I'm choosing not to get the vax - I have an autoimmune condition that I don't want to get re-activated or aggravated - but I respect your decision, Daniel. Almost all of my friends have chosen not to get it: It's the hill we're going to die on. I did have one friend get it, and she got the J&J as you did. I must say, this part of your article really resonates with me: " I can’t help but sympathize with the conspiratorial view. It does seem that our society is in the process of reorganizing around the unprecedented surveillance power of the tech companies, meshed with the government and the financial elite, and lastly, the encroaching field of bio-informatics as a means of overarching tracking and control." I follow numerous sources that you listed, and adding in Naomi Klein's excellent Screen New Deal, which shows how the co-opted Democratic party is the medium through which this technocratic dystopia is going to be unleashed, it's hard for me not to come to the conclusion that this was no "lab accident" but rather a very sophisticated operation of "problem, reaction, solution," using a never-ending invisible abstraction like "COVID" as a catalyst to usher in a global technocratic dystopia. For that reason alone, I'm simply not going to do it regardless of the costs. That, and I now see that it's going to be a never-ending stream of boosters and new vaccines for new variants and viruses. Even if I get lucky with the J&J, there's no guarantee that I will get lucky next time. SO, what to do? It seems as if I am going to move out of California and probably end up in Montana. It's not ideal, but I refuse to live under the growing medical apartheid.
