• The only reason there's no MASSIVE revolt over #covid19 #patents is that the #corporateMedia barely talks about them. Of course it takes money from the companies that prefer the public not to think about it either. The jabs are super-rich to produce. #patent #monopolies

• Sometimes you wonder if the dying US empire has implicitly/unofficially decided that, hey! Let's just infuse lots of bailout money into fake 'tech' companies (fronts for the military) to harvest people's passwords and spy on the whole world to get ahead of other countries. Don't be conned into it. #techrights has a series related to this coming soon. Also see http://techrights.org/2021/03/13/epoleaks-report-march-2021-part-4/

• In corporate media in 2021, the difference between "vaccinated" and "unvaccinated" is only one vaccine. So one who got 10 vaccines can be called vaccinated, whereas one who got 11 (or far less! [1]) can be labeled "vaccinated"; similarly, all theists are basically atheists... except to their one God (they deny all the other gods)

• In corporate media in 2021, a person vaccinated for measles, polio, TB, chickenpox, flu, rabies etc. but not for #covid19 (using experimental products) is "UNVACCINATED", whereas someone who rejected EVERY #vaccine (or #vaccination as a concept!) but took something experimental this year is "VACCINATED". This paradox isn't helping anybody...

• What does Richard Stallman mean by "even among vaccinated people"? The current vaccines suck and don't contain the spread; the media hype and data (like #nhs data) don't match; they hail one group and condemn another; they're just as infectious, irrespective of vaccination, which merely lowers chance of hospitalisation. https://stallman.org/archives//2021-sep-dec.html#19_November_2021_(Masks_covid_cases_half)
