If you're not here to add value to the intent of the thread, there are other political and coronavirus threads to utilize.

This one exists for those with knowledge and insight to help others.

Seriously, I question the "value" of this thread in it entirety. Doesn't sowing disbelief and mistrust in our medical system hamper their efforts to effectively deal with the pandemic?

You do know that many doctors don't support the narrative? That there is a culture of fear and suppression of any medical opinion that goes against the narrative?

The "distrust" is already there among the enlightened and curious.

Again, to clarify the thread exists to help those who are deep in the cult of covid and need to find a way out of the miasma of fear and oppression

As one who is deeply entrenched in the medical system, not by choice.
One who deals with what was several, now a few, highly specialized practitioners.

It has come to be my belief that the ones that are sowing the seeds of an invasive
variety are the talking heads.
The only ones that seem to get any spot-light are those that say what higher powers want.

I'm a free thinker, and others are allowed to do the same.

I can only suggest others exercise that right.

I've drawn my own conclusions, and may be wrong,
Blessings and curses are both possible outcomes from free thinking.

And by the "cult of covid" you mean who ? I trust our federal and provincial health authorities and follow recommendations for masking, physical distancing and hand sanitizing. I avoid unnecessary ventures away from home. Due to the current restrictions in place in BC I have yet to celelrate Christmas with my children and grand-children. I commute to work out of province by air and follow the recommendations and requirements to reduce transmission risk when doing so. I will get vaccinated when it becomes available to me. Does that put me in the "cult of covid"?

Fair enough. Now does the title of this thread indicate that the author is willing to grant those same rights to others or is he promoting a personal agenda?

People who are locked deep in the cult of doom and despair, riddled and mired in this dystopian miasma, those poor souls looking for enlightenment and hope.

If you're a Believer and you're OK with that then you have nothing to add. There's plenty of other threads to discuss various aspects of the miasma.

What's the chance of an answer in simpler terms ?

Ok, I can accept the "cult of covid" existing, but I don’t see how a person can deprogram themselves or help themselves when they are so deep down the rabbit hole of thinking everything is a conspiracy, government is out to get them, masks are evil, vaccines have chips in them etc. Shouldn’t *others* be the ones helping?
I’m puzzled how "we" (not me, but the "we" used in the above post) will help those similarly afflicted with the "cult of covid"??? :135:
It’s a very fascinating thread. Sort of like a full blown heroin addict in the depths of their addiction wanting to help other heroin addicts while they both have needles in their arms.
