Dilbert Man, Clott Adams, having some vaccine regrets now

We were all fooled to one degree or another. If he was for vaccine passports and mandates, then frick him, but he just fell for the lie here. I got the vaccine so everyone would just shut the frick up and let me live my life, and I now regret it. My parents were pissed at me for a couple of months for refusing to get boosted, but we all got it in the end and it wasn’t that fricking bad.

A silver lining form the COVID mess is I worked form home for 2 years straight and now I'm on a hybrid office/home work schedule which I love.

Meh. Not really.

All the people who were personally against the vax, but got it anyway to protect mom and dad! Stupid shits.

No, we weren't all fooled. Not even remotely true.

Pure blood here! We tried to tell you but y’all were too naive and dumb to listen. Enjoy the long term effects.

No "we" weren't. The gross overreaction to this pandemic was evident from day one. This wasn't the first respiratory virus to spread world-wide from Asia. Far from it. Not even the first this century.

But it WAS the first in a society where social media is ubiquitous, vapid corporate and cultural virtue signaling is celebrated, any degree of reasonable skepticism to the mainstream narrative is forcefully ridiculed, and corporations/media are unabashedly hyper-partisan. It was the first pandemic in any our lifetimes where society began looking for the illness under every rock...thus making the prevalence of such seem unprecedently high. That's not to say Covid-19 wasn't very much real. It was/is. It's that the societal overreaction to such was devoid of logic and anyone who was willing to consider what effects the reaction could have later down the line was able to see early on how horribly irrational such reaction would be.

Now you see more and more people express regrets, justifying it by saying "we just didn't know." There is a bit of truth to that. Largely because the information provide to the public was almost completely one-sided and had zero tolerance for discussion of contrary viewpoints. Even objectively contrary viewpoints. But most who are now having these regrets simply didn't "want to know" because that would require a modicum of critical thinking and reasonable skepticism beyond unquestionably accepting what the man/woman on TV, the mayor/governor's podium, Congress, etc told you. At the time, virtually everyone with a "public voice" denigrated you as insane for questioning the mainstream viewpoint.

Fixed!

I didn't want the jab(s).

In order to continue working, I was forced to get them. I now have high blood pressure that literally came out of nowhere and there is no medical reason for it. I am slightly overweight, but am actually slimmer now than two years ago. My job demands I walk - A LOT. It makes little sense.

I now have to take meds to control the HBP. Not sure who makes the HBP meds, but someone is profiting.
