Covid - Wishful Thinking

It's opinion time! No links.

There's a new Covid variant out called "Omicron". Researchers are still attempting to track its origins but the original origin story has already been challenged. There are no media stories yet concerning how deadly the variant is with one exception claiming the variant is mild and not as deadly as previous variants. That is apt to change as time goes on for one powerful reason, wishful thinking.

People who want to see Covid go away would naturally wish that this new variant would not be as deadly as previous versions.

People who profit from Covid would naturally wish that Omicron would be more deadly.

So...

It almost goes without saying that those who do not wish to die from Covid belong in the first group.

But...

Which of these two groups control mainstream media?

Which of these two groups control government?

Who writes the story that you read and hear in the news?

But when it comes to wishful thinking, it's not a clear-cut good guy bad guy thing. It's a common thing now for vaccinated people to wish bad things on the unvaccinated. They wish the unvaccinated would lose their jobs, become outcasts even in their own families, be prevented from entering stores and restaurants, be prohibited on public transportation including the airlines, be banned from receiving or providing healthcare. The list goes on and will continue to grow. People even wish the unvaccinated would die - from starvation if not from Covid.

The unvaccinated seek news stories that demonstrate the dangers of the vaccines and their ineffectiveness. They tempt themselves with stories that claim the vaccinated have destroyed their immune systems and will all die soon.

So who's the good guy here? It's getting harder each day to keep track.
