Are COVID questioners irresponsible, lunatic conspiracy theorists?

Comedian JP Sears says in this short video: “The mainstream narrative helps me classify anyone who doesn’t go along with its narrative as an irresponsible, lunatic conspiracy theorist. That way I can label them as crazy, rather than thinking about what they are saying.”

Sorry, for being crazy! I hope I haven’t made anyone think, question or discern. After all, house arrest isn’t all that bad. Thank God they waited until we had Netflix, Zoom and video games before asking healthy people to go bankrupt in forced quarantine.

“I’ll stay at home for the rest of my life if they tell me to,” says JP Sears. “Who knows how to make the best choices for my life and my health? Definitely not me! So I’m more than happy to put my blind trust into power-hungry politicians and definitely un-corrupt groups like the World Health Organization.”

He goes on to say: “The last thing you want is for people to have the freedom to make their own choices. And then experience the consequences of their choices… All these Americans who want their freedoms are just ungrateful.”

JP does admit, however, that the Los Angeles County Health Department has calculated the actual death rate from COVID-19 at around 0.1-0.2%. Interestingly, that’s exactly what I calculated last week based on Canada’s stats. Same as Stanford University found. Japan and Germany, too. And South Korea and Iceland weren’t far off either.

But data, math and science don’t really matter.

As JP says: “I also find the more scared I am the more unwilling I am to believe anything other than the original narrative that they told me that they are still telling me even when new, more accurate information emerges…. new scientific data is irrelevant to me because it’s like I already made up my mind when I was the most frightened and I’m going to keep believing what makes me the most frightened because it just feels more congruent in my being that way…. The more scared I am, the more obedient I am.”

JP also expresses his eagerness to get the COVID-19 vaccine. But he does have one concern: “Those vaccines better be brought to market without long-term human trials… It’s better that way because the long-term trials that approve a vaccine’s safety and effectiveness are pretty arrogant…. Our only hope is in the pharmaceutical companies protecting us.  They have a very good track record of never harming anyone.”

And what about Bill Gates? JP made me realize Gates must have our best interests at heart: “[Bill Gates] miraculously switched from being such a power-hungry Microsoft overlord, breaking laws to the extent that the US government had to sue him… to just one year later, with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, being such a shining example of altruism that he selflessly cared so much that he made it his mission to rid the world of disease… with vaccines. Sounds like he found Jesus to me.”

You can see the entire video here. It’s been up since May 6, 2020 and has already had three million views.

And remember, as JP says: “Thinking for yourself and making your own choices is dangerous during a time like this.” Dangerous for the politicians who want to tell you how to think and what to do.
