A pharmaceutical mafia that intends you no good
“Para entrar aquí hay que ponerse cubre boca.” Compliance with self harm
In a Latin American country, where the federal government declined to mandate face masking, but devolved authority to impose obligatory masking to owners of individual businesses, unintentionally bringing new meaning to “business”, or re-bringing it: busyness, bizy bodies, and “mind your own bizniz”, a man walks into a bookstore.
An attendant wearing a “virus mask,” immediately confronts him.
With eye-blazing intensity, and finger pointing at her own yellow mask:
“Es obligatorio ponerse cubreboca”
¿Qué?
“Para entrar aquí hay que ponerse cubre boca.”
¿Por qué?
“Porque es obligatorio.”
What do you think you’re doing? What are you trying to accomplish? You know those things (now my index finger pointing) are very harmful, to you. And you think you’re stopping viruses?
“It’s just a rule. And there’s no harm. You have to put one on to come in here.”
Seriously? Are you serious?
You are harming yourself.
You can’t breathe.
“I’m totally serious. And I can breathe fine.”
You’re reducing your respiration, which is very harmful. And you’re seriously insane.
Then he walked out.
In this country, 50% of people or so voluntarily wear cubre bocas (mouth and nose covers) while walking around in parks, on streets, in plazas, nearly three years in, in October 2022.
One wants to communicate to them in hope they’ll see something real again, and again as in former times stand up for themselves. To say something like this:
You’re being terrorized, and controlled, by a giant pharmaceutical mafia that intends you no good, that in fact, intends you harm.
If you have trouble believing this, then ask yourself:
Does a narcotics mafia intend my well being?
A mafia powerful enough that it controls institutional power to such extent that you find yourself compelled and coerced, by figures of authority and government, and figures of science and celebrity, into injecting narcotics, and injecting them over and over again?
How many millions of people have lost the ability to detect racketeering of unprecedented scope? The most extreme among those who’ve lost the plot want the pharmaceutical industry to continuously inject every blade of grass on earth with whatever it wants, forever, with those not abiding denounced as disease-spreading idiots and nut jobs, all of whom should be isolated from society and fired from their jobs, while all the while anyone unfortunate enough to show up in a medical clinic with a respiratory condition is subject to protocols that midazolam, remdesivir, and ventilate them to death.
Extremism like that does exist in Mexico it seems to me, but it’s a very small fraction of those carrying on the charade. What’s going on here in Mexico is submissiveness combined with characteristic Mexican civility and respect. Those who don’t go along are not demonized and excluded.
Among US liberals the extremism floods through the vast majority, characterized again by submissiveness on the one hand, and on the other, hate.
Characteristically American.
