Imagine a high school debate competition...

The Red Team is extremely well-prepared. They’ve read everything. They speak to the scientific data better than a college professor. They are also able to zoom in to tell individual stories and zoom out to narrate the larger context and political implications of the question. They understand their opponents’ position better than their opponents themselves and can describe both the relative strengths and fatal weaknesses of their opponents’ arguments.

The Blue Team is not well-prepared. They walk to the podium and just start shouting, “Pharma Über Alles! Coincidence! Safe and effective! One in a million!” They point accusingly at their opponents and spittle flies from their mouths. “Conspiracy theorists! Terrorists! Because science!” And then they sit down.

The debate judges are shocked. They finish writing their notes, confer among themselves, and announce… that the Blue Team has won in a landslide. It’s unanimous. The judges are effusive in their praise for the Blue Team and they fall all over themselves to congratulate the Blue Team on their wisdom and perspicacity. The judges look over at the Red Team and just shake their heads in disgust.

That’s the world we live in. The warrior mamas are the Red Team. They are the most thoughtful and well-prepared people on the planet. And the mainstream including the FDA, CDC, and NYT are the total clown world as represented by the Blue Team.

I’m running out of ways to explain how completely ridiculous and detached from reality the bourgeois (Blue Team) worldview has become. The bourgeois mind has become a wasteland of contradictions, unfinished thoughts, fear, anxiety, panic, and a lust for totalitarianism.
