I feel like the past 20 months have largely consisted of people trying to convince me to be as scared as they are.
And then, getting mad at me for refusing to be.I learn from the mistakes of people who took my advice.

Apperently, there’s another new ‘variant coming out of Africa that is more contagent among kids. So glad they just barely approved kids to get vaxed.

Biden has just banned US travel to or from 7 southern African countries due to the emergence of the omicron variant.
The omicron variant has already been found in multiple other countries around the world, including the UK, Hong Kong, Italy, Israel and Germany, and is almost certainly already here in the US.
Why ban travel when they know it won't actually keep the variant from coming here? Because they have to "do something about it."
This is called safety theater. They know their actions won't work, but that's not why they do it.
So then, why do they do it?
Imagine this scenario:
The manager of a company is sitting around the office, being lazy and not really accomplishing anything. The company's owner stops by to see how things are going. Surprised and startled, the manager jumps up, starts shuffling papers around and yells at the workers to get in gear and do what he says, or else they're in big trouble.
What is the manager accomplishing? Absolutely nothing. In fact, he's probably disrupting the workers and hurting productivity. But he needs to show that he's "doing something", or else the boss might start wondering why he even needs him.
That's how government works.
In order to convince us that they're necessary, government tries to manage every aspect of our lives.
This includes tragic, and sometimes unavoidable, things such as disease and disasters.
They run around, doing a bunch of things that won't work, and threaten us with punishment if we don't join them in running around uselessly.
In doing all of this, they actually distract resources and efforts on things that might actually help the situation. They actively make things worse.
And the worst part is that they know their actions are ineffectual at best, and harmful at worst. But they have to show you that they're "doing something about it."
That's actually a common refrain in safety theater, and its cousin, security theater.
"Don't worry, we're doing something about it! Now do what we say, or you're in trouble!"
Nevermind the fact that they never actually solve anything, and often end up making it worse.
At least they're "doing something about it."
COVID isn't going away, omicron is already here, and the sooner we realize that government isn't useful in times of crisis (or any other time), the sooner we can focus on efforts that actually are effective.I learn from the mistakes of people who took my advice.

It's real simple.
In order to stop this new variant, we have to do the things that have already failed against the old variants.
But we must do it even harder this time, so even more people suffer as it fails again.
If that makes no sense to you, you're a bad person.
