Paranoid Infusion

social reclusion 
             self inflicted exclusion 
                   all by delusion 
              conspiracy profusion 
         ~ there is no jab collusion ~

I remember when a jab was a jab! ~ The Jabberwock

David one of the many sayings my Brother-in-law used to say was. There is no cure or pill for stupidity That and the lord is my shepherd but I am not a sheep.

You are so right David The isolation is the true killer it does drive you insane and make you paranoid Lead you into believing in anything It's the closest thing I imagine what being locked up in prison must be like. The mind creates it's own universe in order to survive

In the right context, I would tend to agree with him, strange thing is Christopher a lot of these people are not stupid, it really is plain old paranoia driven by conspiracy theorists, plus some people just don’t like being advised what to do, so it’s self isolation for them and that’s what’s hurting them even more, cheers David

This omricon is a worry, could be the big one, the conspiracy theorists have a lot to answer for. Tom

They really have Tom, will not listen to science, refuse to wear masks and social distance, then try turn the tables on the ones protecting each other, if they refuse to get the jab that’s fine, just don’t expect society to welcome them with open arms, they’re isolating themselves, cheers David

Yes, the self-inflicted exclusion is unquestionably the result of hallucination and conspiratorial surfeit, and people notorious for lawlessness aren't bothered if there isn't any jab collaboration in this case.

So well put Lasaad, eloquent as always, and a slam dunk comment, scaremongering and threats of anarchy are no way to deal with a pandemic, we try protect each other against an existential threat, not help it along because of some paranoid delusion, cheers David

No vaccination? Then keep yourself in seclusion.

Heya Jenna nice allusion, but it’s just not fair on the rest of society doing their best to prevent the spread of covid, then to be told by some unvaxxed, it’s all some elaborate hoax, their citizens rights are being revoked, and they are the real victims, unbelievable, cheers David

I was innocent of fear at the start…didn’t understand what was about to happen. I was raring to step out as soon as I could. When we saw online that the church was open we got dressed and warmed those seats. Tears flowed. The first Sunday the Pastor offered prayer even he seemed overwhelmed when almost the entire congregation came forward. When I say overwhelmed, he was pleasantly surprised. God bless!

Absolutely Kim, we all have to be careful to protect ourselves and others, and the jab seems to be the only tool in the box at the moment, if a person refuses to get it and still mingle with others, I believe that is very selfish behaviour, I have to show my vaccination pass, even going for a coffee alone, and have no problem with that, hope you’re keeping well, cheers David
