Very well put.
I’m not religious but perhaps the decline in rich world countries of religious faith has played a significant part.
On a related note, this is worth watching in full: (2) Matthew Crawford: the dangers of Safetyism – YouTube
I agree. I have never been afraid of death or dying. I was also within 2 hours of not being here during covid and was only stopped by a friend, a young lady with no family but her husband’s, who has adopted me. I had gone to say my goodbyes without saying it, and she asked if I was alright. I said that I was and she then told me to ‘look after yourself, I am not ready to lose you yet’. Still makes me very emotional, and leaky. The only death that ever frightened me was that of my late wife, but that was more a fear of being alone again. Naturally. (Sorry about that) I have faith, but am not religious. I try to act, like Jordan Peterson, as if there is a God. I fear nothing now that my wife has gone and my faith/hope is that we meet again. The next great adventure is what my Grandfather called it. If everything just goes black then I won’t know a damn thing about it, but if, as I hope/believe, there is something on the other side then I am going to be as happy as a pig in a wallow. Having a cwtch with the love of my life. It will have to wait though because I have responsibilities here.
Why be afraid of that which is unavoidable? May as well be afraid of the tide coming in or the sun rising. Enjoy what there is, it may well be all you ever have.
Making people live in fear is one of the most egregious sins of the covid maniacs.
The increase in the average age of the population won’t have helped.
We used to have a society of predominantly young people, but now it is increasingly a society of old people.
Young people don’t think much about death. It’s too far away. But older people sure do.
Young people are less risk averse, old people are much more risk averse. Just by nature.
To me the general attitude of the population seems a reflection of the overall age of the population.
I would say that, being older, a pensioner, I am now risk-realistic.
I have always tended to be fearless & intrepid, but now have a better grasp of when it is sensible NOT to take a risk.
it doesn’t mean I’m consumed by fear.
Indeed. Baffled by the downvotes.
Re the down votes. There’s a difference between intelligence and stupidity. Intelligence is limited.
I’m not sure the average person here was ever cowering under their beds. The main difference between Asia/Africa and here was the sophisticated propaganda machine fine tuned for a century and the massive trust that governments might be interested in our wellbeing.
That trust is going/gone. Elsewhere self reliance has always been required, as your own country was so obviously corrupt or run by outside forces like USA.
“I’m not sure the average person here was ever cowering under their beds.” I think quite a few were and some still are, but agree that a lot of it was just going along to get along. I also think that while lots of people live their lives with a fairly “healthy” attitude to risk, it seems to have become somewhat taboo to point out that life is risky and that includes catching flu and dying and there’s not much we can do about it, and also taboo to say that saving lives at all costs is futile and dangerous and that we can’t spend limitless amounts of money and self-sacrifice to save “just one life”. To say these things is regarded as callous, but I reckon a lot of people think them, but are afraid to speak up – I pointed out these things, which seem like basic truths that are generally accepted, to a work colleague of mine and she compared me to Hitler (and she actually likes me!?!??!).
I saw a man cycling while wearing a mask but no helmet yesterday. His attitude to risk was well skewed!
Quite a few clearly were (but the average?) and at the vanguard of this small posse of low to middle brow virtue signalling sheep are the same sort of people who sent white feathers to young men in 1914-15.
Maybe we need to get out of the mindset that it is always wrong to die?
sometimes it is the right time to do so.
Well I would rather be given the chance to get fed up with living forever, but as that’s not on the table, coming to terms with the inevitable is the only option. Accepting what you can’t change is fundamental to a fulfilled existence, IMO.
Also accepting that risk is part of life and that you can’t have one without the other.
Dare I say a glimmer of hope is on the horizon…? On the one hand I know better then to get my hopes up over the Brooke Jackson vs Pfizer case but on the other hand I kinda am. If she doesn’t win her case with the concrete evidence she has then we really are living in a lawless world and all bets are off for the incoming tyrants to do just whatever the hell they want because we’re truly at their mercy. But in the spirit of being a ‘glass half full’ type of person, here’s more on current ‘lawsuit season’;
”For those unfamiliar, Brook Jackson is an employee working for Pfizer’s contractor (Ventavia) for the COVID mRNA clinical trials. Pfizer and governments worldwide used the same clinical trial to push vaccine mandates claiming them to be “safe and effective”. Unfortunately, Brook found many issues with the clinical trials (i.e. fudging data, breaking protocols etc.), which voids the “safe and effective” claim. In short, the whole world was fooled by Pfizer’s 95% safe and effective claim.
Pfizer desperately wants to stop the case from going into “Discovery” because that’s the part of the process where they need to show all their cards.
But hold up; Brook Jackson’s case is not the only lawsuit coming up. There is a whole TSUNAMI of cases coming in all directions, and not only is Pfizer screwed but every organization and individual who participated in this horrific lie in the last 2+ years that caused countless deaths, side effects, people losing of jobs and livelihoods etc.
We are going to see the following:
https://pharmafiles.substack.com/p/week-10-pfizer-is-gonna-get-pfucked
Any successful lawsuits will be far too late to prevent most of the damage done, won’t result in anybody being jailed, just fines representing a small proportion of the profits made, and won’t affect the real villains behind this, who’ll be laughing.
Agreed 100%.
Bigpharma will never be too afraid of having to pay compensation even though it is possible to sue them re the jabs, it’s just the taxpayer via government who will pay as opposed to bigpharma directly.
As you say, what really really worries them is Discovery/Inspection and suits being ordered to attend court.
As far as how long it will take (unless the pitchforks come out), think in terms of how long it took to nail big tobacco.
But we will win this, it’s only a question of how long it takes.
Bigpharma is getting rattled. The tentacles are getting stretched to breaking point in places.
Just look at the increasing contortions they are having to go through -Kathy Kyngell in TCW –
https://www.conservativewoman.co.uk/mhra-stops-publishing-covid-vaccines-yellow-card-reports-how-very-convenient/
The RPTB know the game’s up re mRNA covid jabs. It’s damage limitation time for them now. Jabs/boosters being dropped by those on High although when it comes to The NHS and similar, think in terms of stopping a supertanker time.
The pharmaceuticals are protected against liability for Vaccines. That is why they redefined what a vaccine is for mRNA jab. They have been playing this game since 1976 and the swine flu pandemic when Gerald Ford was in power. The US government ended up paying hundreds of millions to injured people.
I agree with Dr Bell
Most of us are not unreasonably terrified of death
its not the end of a two week holiday in the sun
where we go back to living our regular lives
God knows what happens
Solutions?
Faith carried people through – a belief in a greater purpose
When you look at a medieval church – the effort that went into its construction
That people kept going despite their wife dying in childbirth and not knowing whether the harvest would come in + they would survive the winter
+ that is what we don’t have anymore
We have a fragile pseudo scientific philosophy for Life
Most of us are fairly detached from Nature everything that surrounds us made by humans
The news has become so trivial and introspective – we have no awareness of the teenage girl with a baby on her back cobalt mining in the filth for our smartphones
So when something comes along and makes us contemplate our mortality we drop to bits
I work as a Paramedic and have said for may years, forget Covid, forget Flu, forget heart attacks, forget cancer, there’s only one illness at epidemic proportions these days and that’s Health Anxiety.
These days people’s perceptions have been so distorted by irrational fear of illness and death that they are driving the health service to its knees.
I go out to people who seriously believe, for example, that a wasp sting will kill them and that they need to call an Emergency Ambulance to take them to hospital “just in case”.
Don’t believe these cases are a minority, I’d estimate easily 90% of the incessant calls we attend are unnecessary and have been for about the last 15 years.
Covid was just the culmination of the years of propoganda the medical profession have pumped into people’s minds creating irrational fear and making common sense become a rarity.
Of course, the Medical profession are laughing all the way to the bank because they understand, very well, the old saying “a patient cured is a customer lost”.
I have to grudgingly take my hat off for Covid though, that was impressive. Make someone hide under the bed for 2 years wearing a silly mask and convince them that because their sister in laws uncle’s grandfathers best friends mother’s boss died in a hospice at 89 of, supposedly, Covid 19, it’s ‘proof’ that we’ve just been through a pandemic.
One thing I’ve learnt is that the human body is tough, it’s takes a lot to kill you and it’s thankfully statistically rare before old age.
Medicine is common sense, everything in moderation keep the weight down and most importantly keep active. Do that and you’ll very probably live to a ripe old age.
And stop worrying that you’re going to pass away in your sleep at a young age.
That only happens if you’ve been boosted! (it’s a joke)
Good thoughts. But your last line? Do you think the boosters and other jabs have caused younger people major health issues?
As Covid 19 exists only in the mind, almost certainly.
It’s going to be hard to prove though until we get proper (unadulterated) mortality statistics that show a conclusive rise above the 5 year average.
Although I tend to avoid getting into the whole ”Covid/viruses don’t exist” debate, I have always maintained that flu never went away and, similar to how Marathon was rebranded to Snickers, most Covid ‘cases/deaths’ were in fact down to flu. A deliberate misattribution in order to fudge the stats and maintain the fear, the ultimate driver of the false narrative. The concerning thing is that you do have actual experts in relevant fields maintaining that flu did actually go for a hiatus, but I don’t buy that. It’s only the recorded cases of flu that disappeared because everyone was fixated on PCRing the world and their dog for this ‘new and novel’ virus. So what did we think was going to happen as a result? ‘Influenza-like illnesses’ have always been diagnosed under a set of vague and general symptoms and doctors would not historically go doing specific tests for a specific virus if the patient presents with flu-type symptoms. It was the flipping PCR-driven ‘casedemic’ what dunnit.
I agree but where I disagree is that it was planned or a conspiracy. These people are too plain dim to have thought this up.
It was, instead, a contagious illness of the mind known as Mass Hysteria. It’s the same illness that convinced the population of Medieval Europe to believe that witches were real.
No one died of a ‘virus’ they died at the hands of (mainly doctors) who sincerely BELIEVED they were witnessing a ‘new’ virus but were instead misdiagnosing and attributing ordinary symptoms, common to many existing illnesses, to Covid 19.
The most powerful symptom of Mass Hysteria is confirmation bias and it was this that was powering the belief amongst doctors, scientists, politicians, the media and of the population that a delusion (covid) was actually real.
If anyone were skeptical, they can give themselves a pat on the back, they were on the right track.
Mass hysteria / delusion may have been the outcome. It may have been rebadged flu.
But it was pump-primed in order to usher in mRNA vaccines which have failed.
And we are now in the chaotic wreckage of Project Double Down & Sorry.
Pharmaceutical companies are simply opportunists.
They smelt an opportunity to sell snake oil and it worked, very well.
If pharmaceutical companies weren’t inextricably linked with defence departments worldwide, biolabs and bio weapon research, DARPA, Pentagon, DOD I would tend to agree.
Also I think some of our illustrious leaders have a financial interest in Big Pharma. You have to ask what our PM’s interest in Moderna is. The same with the climate Ponzi scheme as well.
“You have to ask what our PM’s interest in Moderna is.”
Fishy has a massive third party investment in Murderna.
I don’t understand how anybody can disagree that it was planned at this stage as the copious amounts of evidence that it was are out in the public domain for all to see. I’ve certainly shared enough examples on here myself and I won’t be running around the internet doing so repeatedly. It gets tedious. But the release of this virus was planned as was the deployment of the bioweapon jabs. Prove me wrong.
You WANT to believe it was a conspiracy and once again, confirmation bias is used to ‘prove’ its the correct assumption.
The first question would be why would you work on a bioweapon that is as lethal as the common cold? It doesn’t make sense.
The ONLY hypothesis that is watertight is a spontaneous Mass Hysteria outbreak that travelled the world simply because of social media and the internet.
The problem with the Mass Hysteria outbreak over an imaginary virus is that it not only makes the experts look foolish but suckered in the skeptics as well, they never questioned the existence of Covid, only the severity of its effects.
Understand that the medical profession went temporarily insane and that insanity was contagious and everything makes sense, from the deaths from ventilation and midazolam, why sweden and Belarus were unaffected, why lockdowns didn’t work, why masks didn’t work, why flu disappeared, why the vaccines almost certainly killed lots of people and every other contradiction and paradox that has occurred with Covid.
It’s all explained by Mass hysteria, not a conspiracy.
I would have thought that showing that the ‘experts’ fell for an imaginary virus would be far more embarrassing and humiliating for them than trying to prove it was made in a lab but 3 years down the line I still believe we’re barking up the wrong tree.
The first question is not ‘why would you work on a bioweapon as lethal as the common cold’. It is to consider that the vaccine itself was the bioweapon, not the rebadged flu.
Hysteria and insanity may well be part of the answer but preplanning, censorship, coercion, mandates, denial of efficacious treatments, human rights infractions for the best part of two years are malign actions, not the actions of headless chickens.
Yep: it’s much, much easier to control how many are killed, over what period and who they are if you us injections rather than a respiratory virus.
The actions are the result of people that were headless chickens, who now realise that they were headless chickens and want to cover up the fact that they were headless chickens.
Add the fact that they were headless chickens that killed hundreds of thousands, if not millions, around the world and you can begin to understand why they want it all swept under the carpet.
Are you seriously claiming that the decision to change the rules to allow non-covid deaths to be attributed to covid was made by “headless chickens”?
That the decision to terrify people by using very sophisticated and expensive propaganda was made by “headless chickens”?
That politicians who partied,and broke the guidelines or laws in many other ways, revealing a complete lack of fear of the disease, were behaving like “headless chickens”?
If you’d done a lot of work on planning for an actual deadly pandemic, and lots of work on developing fast vaccine development capability, you might want to test it all out by releasing a mild virus that you pretend is deadly. Isn’t it generally accepted that the US defence establishment were closely involved with the covid response in the US, and that the US were sponsoring virus research in China, and that the US defence establishment knows a lot about what is happening in the world, and is immensely powerful.
That aside (I’m not saying it’s true, just plausible and no more mad than “mass hysteria”) the planning has been going on for decades and it’s all about controlling people more, centralising everything more, reshaping the world – various bodies involved in that may not have developed covid but they surely have taken advantage of it using plans they already had, and the network of acolytes they have developed.
“Understand that the medical profession went temporarily insane and that insanity was contagious and everything makes sense…”
You have clearly not recovered from temporary insanity. I advised some months ago when you last frequented these pages that you needed to broaden your reading and widen your research, clearly you paid no heed.
Your stupidity is on a par with that of the sheeple.
Ad hominens are not normally you style hp
Indeed, but there are levels of stupidity and in this case…
More downticks from the ‘Confirmation bias’ crowd? The old saw about a lie travelling round the world before the truth gets its boots on is even truer in the world today.
I started work as a medical rep in the autumn of 1968. I visited GPs and hosptials throughout the Hong Kong flu epidemic of 1968/69. I didn’t get ill, the NHS was not shut down, nor were schools and the economy at larger. The IFR for this strain of influenza was much higher than that for covid and it killed all age gruops; not just the +80s with co-morbidities.
Mind you, we had adults running the country back then and not children. Children who wet their pants because of the volume of hysteria and outright lies circulating on the ‘anti-social media’.
Back in March 2020, bearing in mind what happened in 68/69 I told my wife that we would still be able to take our holiday to New York in May. So much for common sense based on experience
If it was planned, it wouldn’t have worked.
I have a more than passing interest in episodes of mass hysteria, having encountered it. I conjecture that there is a spectrum of conditions, based on the number of participants, perhaps including the following:
[Credit: The above was inspired by my reading of Bartholomew and Evans of their book Panic Attacks, in which they go on to explain how snake-oil salesmen, the media, politicians, religious leaders but ultimately the general public all collude, sometimes unwittingly, to maintain an outbreak for a decade or too. I’m sure paramedics are familiar with the symptoms, though they might not comprehend the wider context.]
Thanks. Lots of evidence there that Mass Hysteria is a very real and very deadly illness.
If the government, NHS and MSM hadn’t lied about the seriousness of a virus which, even if it was new wasn’t very dangerous and the government through the NHS hadn’t murdered tens of thousands to get the body count up there would have been no mass hysteria because nobody would have noticed anything out of the ordinary.
See my comment above re Hong Kong flu in 1968/69
The consensus on DS is that the last three years have been an initial but integral part of Agenda 2030. In other words those of us who believe this is conspiracy and not cock-up have been proven correct.
You are a mile up the wrong track with your Mass Hysteria hypothesis and need to broaden your research. Unfortunately you are too convinced of your own position to be able to accept that you might be wrong.
He’s 77 Brigade.
But a Lieutenant rather than the Lance Corporals we were used to before Toby started charging to comment.
Hilarious. If i’m ‘Brigade 77″ why have i been effectively banned from commenting on The Times, The Daily Mail, The Guardian, Youtube, disgus and twitter?
Not doing a very good job am I?
Have a look at my bio on Twitter (@Paramaniac9) and you’ll see it says:
“UK healthcare for 21 years. The only person on planet earth to diagnose Covid 19 CORRECTLY, as Mass Psychosis, on day one. The Emperor has no clothes”
Hardly a spreader of misinformation if after 3 years I’m still the ONLY one!
If you’re genuinely a paramedic tell us your name and who you work for.
Oh no, you can’t because all the headless chickens panicked in pretty much the same way at pretty much the same time and made it a career-ending mistake to challenge the clearly-co-ordinated orthodoxy.
“The Only one”
What your bio says on Twitter isn’t proof of anything.
Bernard-Henri Lévy interview, July 2020: “Coronavirus has sent the world into ‘psychotic delirium’.”
Difference between me and you is that I have worked in the medical profession for 21 years on an Emergency Ambulance. If there was a ‘new’ ‘deadly’ virus out there I would have seen it.
What I did see was jack ****.
You’re barking up the wrong tree but you’ve been doing it so long and have so much invested that you can’t understand the truth.
COVID DOES NOT EXIST.
I hate these people as much as you do but they’ll wriggle out of it all with plausible deniability if you insist on playing their game.
You are not paying attention. I have never admitted to the existence of the C1984. Those familiar with my posts know that I ALWAYS use ‘C1984.’
Not exactly feared of blowing your own trumpet eh?
Prove it or shut up.
Seconded.
How’s your ‘Myocardial Infarction’ going?
You must have been boosted for that to happen, no?
For your information I have never worn a mask, never signed up to anti-social distancing or any of the rest of the BS that you swallowed.
I have not taken any of the so-called “vaccines.”
You are absolutely typical of so many working in the medical industry – wholly convinced that there are only two ways of doing / thinking about anything – the wrong way and the paramaniac way.
Mogwai posted a link here to a substack by Spartacus, have a read although it is a lengthy piece. Normally I would provide the link but it is time you started to do your own research, start on here with some of the excellent links provided by Mogs, ebg, B and many others.
I agree with much you say, including the Mass Hysteria. However, there WAS an illness (virus?) which predominantly killed the very old and those who already had serious health issues.
However, I know one person who wasn’t elderly/frail and had no co-morbidities but died with all the symptoms described as Covid. He was my cousin: male, aged 57 and appeared in good health, although possibly 2 stone overweight. He came back from a holiday in Cornwall with his wife and daughter and they all got ill. He died a week later, the others were very ill but survived. The only possible contributory factor is their diet – vegetarian – so may have been low in Vit D, zinc and iron.
All deaths or serious illness can be attributed to other existing illnesses. It’s simply confirmation bias to say it was Covid 19.
Why I’m so sure Covid is an imaginary illness is because it’s happened before.
Read the article below, it explains what a pseudo epidemic is and is a microcosm of what occurred with Covid.
Admittedly on a smaller scale but the principal is the same, the medical profession went insane over an imaginary illness and the PCR was 0% accurate. Even worse this was a bacteria (whooping Cough) easily detected by culture testing. With Covid there was no “test for the test” so we can only rely on the scientists assurances that the PCR is 100% accurate for Covid.
https://www.bleadon.org.uk/media/other/24400/FaithinQuickTestLeadstoEpidemicThatWasnt-TheNewYorkTimes.pdf
I tend to agree with you.
If this was all planned it was very poorly executed. The data was there for all to see what was happening. If I had planned this I would have dealt with that.
The plain stupidity of the rules. I would have dealt with that too.
I personally think this was a combination of stupidity, weak political class, mass hysteria, safety culture and opportunism (both power and money grabbing).
They have now created a whole class of people who will never believe government and the medical
professionals again and that number is growing.
Add to your delusions list the small matter of Groupthink
As I recall we had a post on here in the autumn of 2021 from a medic who pointed out that the usual 14/15K influenza cases had dropped to to a couple of hundreds. She postulated (tongue in cheek) that covid was a cure for flu
A four year old would understand that flu had never gone away it was simply relabeled.
Try explaining that to adults these days and they act as though you are explaining quantum physics to them.
Excellent, common sense commentary. But as we know, common sense isn’t very common and in the past 3 years of hysteriaa it took a hiker for about 95% of the population. To be fair though, the excellent propaganda and ‘nudging’ helped. Can I please add one point to your “in moderation” comment; stop smoking?
Life is death, death is life.
If you fear death, you fear life.
If you never die, you never live.
So simple.
Back in those days we our political betters allowed us out of our houses, my wife and are were invited to a BBQ on the proviso that we had a negative antigen test prior to arrival.
We did not go.
Easy decision – with entry criteria like that you’re guaranteed that the hosts and the guests will be a barrel of laughs.
You certainly found out who your friends were.
Surely what the world needs is a “vaccine” against mass hysteria, not against mass epidemics?
Furthermore:
(i) the word “vaccine” is tainted, after it got redefined around 2020;
(ii) “Fact checkers” are not that “vaccine”: indeed, they exacerbate the disorder by injecting falsehoods disguised as facts into the info-bloodstream, infecting the media heart and creating clots;
(iii) once we are immune to mass hysteria, we stand a chance of distinguishing facts from disinformation, misinformation from mistakes, and cock-ups from conspiracies.
Oh dear.
Am I the only one who thinks that 77 Brigade have returned?
Thanks Nearhorburian. That’s just what I was thinking.

If you think education is expensive, consider the price of ignorance.
I don’t find that people who believe in an afterlife necessarily do not fear death. I would say that for most people as you age and closer to it, the fear diminishes.
