Final Word from Tuesday, August 17, 2021
Czech media blasted out the news over the weekend that 75% of new covid cases are among the unvaccinated. Much more pertinent are the 25% who were vaccinated and got infected, but that wouldn't fit the narrative. If you question the covid propaganda of the mainstream media, you should also look with a critical eye at the reports about Afghanistan. "Thousands of people are desperately seeking to leave the country." Thousands of people. In a country of about 40m, that leaves about 40m who are not accounted for. What percentage of the Afghan population welcomes the change of regime? The media don't tell us that. For a society that puts so much emphasis on democracy and the rule of the majority, we are quick to form opinions and to take action on the basis of what we hear from a vocal minority. There's no fighting this. That's what a civilization at the end of its run does. It learns the wrong lessons from its mistakes and then compounds them. [ Czech Republic covid-19 coronavirus ]
