“Throughout history, pandemics have led to an expansion of the power of the state: at times when people fear death, they go along with measures that they believe, rightly or wrongly, will save them—even if that means a loss of freedom.”
― Anne Applebaum, Twilight of Democracy: The Seductive Lure of Authoritarianism

“COVID-19 has greatly increased the numbers of people that have lost their mental functioning skills.”
― Steven Magee

“It seems the 2023 Long COVID research is heading in the direction of my 2022 findings in my high altitude and COVID books. It is causing amino acid deficiencies!”
― Steven Magee

“And of course, [Boris Johnson will] never get questioned like this over at the BBC while the political editor remains a fully paid-up member of the Boris Johnson Admiration Society. So how does he get away with it? Andrew points out that factory resets obviously weren't covered in the technology lessons that Boris Johnson received from Jennifer Arcuri. Again, it's a funny joke. It's a good line, but he was the Prime Minister, and everyone knew he was a liar. Is it all about that guy that rang in when Donald Trump was here. That I always remember saying ‘but you must know he's lying’. Donald Trump was giving a speech in London about the size of the crowds outside the building he was in. And we had a camera outside the building he was in. We were looking at no crowds. And that simple juxtaposition of rhetorical claim by a politician with observable reality was chilling. It was spine tingling. I can claim that there are huge crowds, huge crowds, the biggest crowds, the greatest crowds outside this building. And I said, ‘how does it work? How does that happen?’ And someone rang me and said, ‘I know he's a liar, but it really upsets people like you and Sadiq Khan.’ And at the time I laughed but maybe that's all there is. Maybe your life - and sorry this is going to sound quite rude - but maybe your life is so weird, and your personality is so twisted that you find the frustration of people who care about the truth the closest you ever get to feeling joy. Is that it? Nadine Dorries watches Boris Johnson lie and claims that he's the most trustworthy person on the planet. What is wrong with her? It's not really a question about what's wrong with him; what's wrong with her?

Whatever transpires at this inquiry or whatever emerges during these hours of evidence, I can tell you this: there will be a significant number of people who think that Boris Johnson has done nothing wrong or that he is somehow the victim of another witch hunt. You remember? It was a witch hunt when he was caught banged to rights by a parliamentary committee containing a majority of conservatives after even Chris Bryant had stepped down to avoid any accusations or allegations - false allegations – really, of impartiality. And they still called it a witch hunt. It would have been a witch unless the committee consisted entirely of 14 Nadine Dorries clones. That's the only circumstances in which those people would have claimed that he could receive a fair trial.

Where do you even begin today? Do you begin with the 5,000 WhatsApp messages that a man who was in charge of the nuclear code somehow doesn't understand and can't find? I don't know. So, what is your theory now because I don't think I've got one any more. I watch him now, and I feel something very new, very different to what I thought when he was in power because when he was in power there is an urgency to the situation. There is a desperate need to share with the population the awfulness that they apparently can't see. Just now that he's not in power any more, it's almost as if I've allowed the full horror of what he represents to bubble to the surface. It’s now that he can't actually break anything, it's a retrospective reflection upon the abject awfulness of him. I mean the unbelievable awfulness of this man, the things that he's done. You can begin with Brexit. The lies that he's told, the damage that he's done. The contempt in which he holds all the things we're raised to believe are important: rules, obligations, standards, behaviours, fidelity, honesty, kindness, friendship, loyalty, all of these things we teach our children matter. And Boris Johnson teaches us that you can become the most powerful person in the country by treating all of those things with absolute contempt.”
― James O'Brien

“Covid hasn't finished with us yet, because it's only just getting started.”

― Steven Magee

“GX-P2V, a great name for a killer covid. As if we didn't have enough problems with the first one, they have now enhanced it so that it has a 100% mortality rate.
You really have to think..."What are they thinking?"
And the truth is, I don't think they are.”
― Anthony T. Hincks

“No comparto ese estado de anestesia, como si por el hecho de que los fallecidos estuvieran en sus últimos años de vida resultará inevitable que murieran. Porque no es verdad. Perdieron la vida cuando no les tocaba. Que eso no se nos olvide nunca.”
― Alberto Reyero Zubiri, Morirán de forma indigna

“Before Covid most people may have been aware that our politicians are not our friends, but Covid taught us that politicians are not only our enemies, but they are also actively trying to enslave us and kill us.”
― Jack Freestone

“When Covid hit the headlines, all they needed to do was take down the internet for a short time. With a deadly disease spreading via the mainstream media, the people would have panicked and flocked to get their poisonous injections on mass. It would have been game over for humanity. But there was a problem with that plan. The internet is a key part of their long-term plan, the New World Order with one government and one army. To take down the internet may have negatively affected peoples’ decisions to embrace AI, especially implanted computer chips for shopping and freedom of movement, plus a central bank digital currency.”
― Jack Freestone

“Con tutto il paese blindato in casa per fermare l'epidemia, quelle tre ridevano mentre aspettavano di fare la spesa. Una addirittura a un certo punto ha tirato fuori il telefonino e ha detto: "Facciamoci un selfie". Non so come siano riuscite a stare nella foto senza violare il distanziamento, ma era comunque una cosa fastidiosa, al punto che si è avvicinato un carabiniere, uno di quegli appuntati giovanissimi al primo anno di servizio, e ha chiesto loro cosa stessero facendo. Mi aspettavo che smettessero e si scusassero, per rispetto della divisa e della circostanza, invece una ha risposto: "Ci facciamo una foto rispettando il distanziamento, c'è qualcosa che lo vieta?". L'arroganza di quella risposta non me la dimenticherò mai. Il carabiniere, per quanto giovanissimo, si è comportato da signore e non ha perso le staffe. "Non c'è un divieto, ma vi sembra il caso di farvi i selfie, con i camion che portano via i morti." [...]
"Cosa c'entrano i morti con la nostra foto? Le norme sono contro il contagio, non contro il buon umore.”
― Michela Murgia, Tre ciotole: Rituali per un anno di crisi

“It is clear in some people that COVID-19 is comparable to a lobotomy.”
― Steven Magee

“I started to see a serious decline in health in high altitude professional astronomy. Most noticeable was the onset of constant fatigue, memory issues and confusion. The condition progressed during my time in the commercial and utility solar industry where I started falling asleep at work and developed hot skin. The doctors tested me and said I had shift work disorder in 2008 and vitamin D and Vitamin B12 deficiencies in 2011. In 2015 I had a COVID-19 like sickness that made everyone in the family really sick. I never recovered and this started regular visits to the doctors. They diagnosed severe sleep apnea and mental illness and prescribed a CPAP machine. Under the care of the doctors I became much sicker on their prescription drugs and treatments. I eventually got smart and figured out I was not going to recover under their care and they may actually kill me! In 2021, moving to Hawaii island revealed that I had ‘Altitude Hypersensitivity’ and a high altitude commuting disease called ‘Magee’s Disease’. By the end of 2023 I had developed the treatments for these conditions and made a reasonable recovery. There is no cure for either condition. They are life-long illnesses. I now have to live well below 1,000 feet near sea level and take the treatments for the rest of my life. I documented the conditions in the books ‘Toxic Altitude’ and ‘Magee’s Disease’. The treatments for the hypoxic high altitude damage appeared transferable into COVID-19 and Long COVID and these are documented in the books “COVID Supplements” and ‘Long COVID Supplements’.”

“Il se pourrait qu’à un niveau subconscient, certaines personnes préfèrent mourir de façon normale, au sens statistique du terme, que de survivre autrement... C’est-à-dire que ces personnes préfèrent une mort collective à une survie plus individuelle, plus personnelle.”
― Adeline Aragon, Vaccins Covid: 159 témoignages sur leurs effets réels

“Will we make it safely through this upheaval? Will things go back to normal? I don’t know. I hope so. I hope the prognosis for all of us is good. But for now, I’m keeping my head down and doing what is required.

I’m mothering my children. I’m doing my part to hold our home together. I’m reassuring the people I love, and letting them reassure me. It’s remarkable how strong we’ve all become.”
― Tracy K. Smith

“There are many pandemics in today’s world, some less purely imaginary than others, and of these the pathological need for ever-increasing complexity nears the top of the list.”
― Sol Luckman, Get Out of Here Alive: Inner Alchemy & Immortality

“The thing that makes me break down in tears the most often is not grief, but human resilience. To watch someone dress their kids and get them to school, ship them off with backpacks and N95 masks knowing how hard the world is.

To watch someone keep going with some sort of unfathomable fortitude, no matter how rough the human waters, that is what astounds me.

And still we go on, the world seems to say.”
― Ada Limon

“A place outside time. This is the phrase I overhear my husband using as he tries to describe Florida to his father over the phone. His father lives in a high-rise condo in New Jersey, and he is concerned that we are still down here. On the news, there is constant talk about Florida’s post-pandemic spiral. Speculation about whether the state is experiencing an ecological and spiritual succession. There is talk about militias creeping out of the swamp. There is talk of vandals. There is talk of literal highway robbery. (Our Cro-Magnon governor denies any of this is happening, even though there are reports that some of these forces are amassing in his name.) For the time being, I can ghostwrite my books and shop specials at the grocery and take my niece to the water park, but no one knows how much longer this version of our world will last. “Sometimes I can’t believe a place like this exists,” my husband says as we speed down a gleaming white limestone road that cuts through a palm forest, or ride an airboat around a swollen lake. Florida has a past, as all places do, but these days everyone is uncertain about its future.”

“In the ER, a voice asked, "Do you know where you are?" I only knew I was trapped inside a great pandemonium. A horrific brightness. Even these days I am, at times, surprised to find myself unsure of my whereabouts. For example, I thought that I was pretty well acquainted with the world I lived in, but then the pandemic happened and that world transformed into something else.”
― Laura van den Berg, State of Paradise

“But labeled, branded, established, official, donor-funded libertarianism — where has it been? While all this [covid lockdown] stuff was going on around it, that form of libertarianism was worrying about trade policy, studying the economic benefits of open immigration, and protesting efforts to meddle with Big Tech. Well, thank God libertarians are no longer living in a bubble! They’re living in executive suites with everyone else who Matters.”
― Stephen Cox
