The sale of the century is very much on. The powers that be want every single person to be vaccinated, and theyre pulling out all the stops to make sure it happens. Here are the five main ways the establishment is trying to manufacture your consent. 1. BRIBERY Its being reported that everyone getting vaccinated is the only way to get back to normal. Dont you want to go to the pub again? Or the gym? Or see granny? Or hug people? Well, just take the shot. Take the shot and all this lockdown and social distancing economic collapse and mounting poverty, it will all just go away. Its a common refrain, one which rather clashes with new normal weve been hearing about for a over year. In fact, it looks like back to normal may come with a qualifying asterisk. For example embattled New York governor Andrew Cuomo has said vaccines will help the state get back to normal*
where normal involves an Excelsior Pass. You dont need me to explain the complexities of this technique. Its simple coercion. Do as we say, and youll get a treat. Important to remember: Getting back to normal is a lie. As much as people repeat the mantra in soundbites and social media posts, the experts are clearer many have said we will NEVER be going back to normal, and others have said we need to maintain anti-Covid measures until at least 2022. The vaccine itself does not even claim to limit transmission, even those vaccinated are still being ordered to follow the restrictions. 2. CELEBRITY ENDORSEMENTS One of the oldest and most widely used marketing gimmicks. Partly because it works, but mostly because its cheap and easy: Simply find a bunch of tools and put them to work. The NHS was not shy about this approach, claiming they were planning to enlist sensible celebrities who are known and loved to combat anti- vax sentiment. For example, Patrick Stewart: Or Elton John and Michael Caine: Or even Her Majesty: Important to remember: Celebrities especially actors and TV personalities are simply paid to repeat lines. Even if their intentions are correct, theres no reason to assume any of them have any understanding of what theyre talking about. And none of these people has anything to lose should you or a loved one suffer any harm from taking an untested vaccine. * 3. FORCED SCARCITY For weeks now weve been seeing headlines about dwindling stock of vaccines. How people in Europe are desperate for doses or some states are being prioritised over others. It goes on and on and on. Everyone who has ever been inside a store knows this trick. While stocks last, limited time offer, or a thousand other variants designed to create the idea that if you dont acquire product X right now, you will miss your chance. A corollary of this is fake exclusivity, the way credit card companies tell absolutely everyone they call that they qualified for our exclusive introductory rate. By creating the idea that the vaccine is hard to come by, they also create the idea that anyone who gets their hands on a dose is fortunate, or somehow a de facto member of some special club. Important to remember: Its all total nonsense. They are not in any danger of running out of vaccines. And even if they are, scarcity is a marketing ploy, not an argument. * 4. FAKE POPULARITY You cant underestimate the idea of peer pressure when it comes to marketing, one of the oldest tricks in the book is culturing popularity through the idea that popularity already exists. Its why people buy likes and views on youtube and concerts have seat fillers. And its why Matt Hancock was reported to have said this: Is this true? No source is cited, so its hard to say. It could be entirely made up, a lot of statistics are. Even if the figure is technically real, its likely just from some opinion poll. And, as Yes Minister has taught us, polls are totally meaningless. To quote (ironically enough) Peter Hitchens: Opinion polls are a device for influencing public opinion, not a device for measuring it. The UK is reporting that 1/3rd of the population has already had at least one dose of vaccine, a number which seems very high (it equates to roughly 250,000 vaccinations per day since the first shot was given on December 8th), this follows early reports that vaccine uptake was better than expected. Even if thats the case and the past year has proven theres never any reason to trust government figures Hancocks 94% seems very unlikely to have any bearing on reality, given the number of reports of low uptake especially in poorer regions, amongst ethnic minorities, and NHS workers. Important to remember: An opinion poll is no measure of reality, popularity is no measure of quality, and it is in the establishments interest to make all dissenters feel they are in a tiny minority. * 5. RESISTANCE IS USELESS This is an interesting one. Theres been a lot of talk about Vaccine Passports recently, and perhaps they will become a thing, but the vast majority of the public discourse is spreading the idea they are inevitable. Now, the idea of inevitability is a powerful tool. You can encourage it as a way of preparing the ground for a policy role out, sure, but you can also use it to engender feelings of defeat in your opposition and thus gain their consent without force. You can see this defeatist language taking hold in some hitherto staunch Covid sceptics. Peter Hitchens recently announced he was being vaccinated, claiming he was defeated and vaccine passports were inevitable: I get the strong sense that any sort of travel, and plenty of other things, will be impossible if I dont have the necessary vaccine certificate. Just today, Lord Sumption essentially caved on the same exact issue in the very similar language: Desmond Swayne MP, another longtime Lockdown sceptic, also capitulated today: Get vaccinated now, because youll probably have to eventually is the message, and its not hard to see the utility of it. From a purely logistical point of view, making people think there are going to be vaccine passports is much, much easier (and cheaper) than actually introducing them. As a follower said to us on twitter: Will they eventually issue Vaccine Passports? Maybe. Maybe all these tricks will fail and theyll be forced to use less carrot and more stick. But it seems equally possible that for now at least theyre being dangled over people to encourage defeatism in those of us who are resisting, and thereby increase vaccine up take. Important to remember: vaccine passports will only ever become inevitable once the vast majority of people have had the vaccine. If enough people refuse to take part, the program will never work. * So, theres the breakdown of all the broad marketing categories being used to sell this vaccine. But whats the final takeaway? Honestly, not an un-positive one I would say. Because what all these strategies have in common is the increasingly hysterical air of desperation. If vaccine take-up was really at 94%, thered be no need to sell the vaccine so much. If they were really running out of vaccines, the papers wouldnt be advertising it, theyd be telling people not to panic. Theyve publicly turned several notable anti-lockdown voices for this campaign, these are key cards they have played all at once. Thats a desperate move. In short, theres good reason to think the resistance to the new normal is a lot more widespread than the establishment ever expected it to be. You dont put the Queen on a zoom call when youre winning the argument. Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread Top Page Up Full Thread Page Down Bottom/Latest Begin Trace Mode for Comment # 2.

Get the jab and you do not have to wear a face diaper, you can stand next to each other, you can have sex, and every thing will be open. RIGHT, "You bring your needle, I will bring my 357, we will see who make the biggest hole."
