TW: mass murder, ableism, eugenics, human sacrifice

Practicing COVID safety to me is identifying the danger of COVID, trying to avoid getting it, trying to raise awareness and practically supporting others who are picking up where authoritarian nation states and their corporate rulers have failed. They have gone far beyond failure and transitioned into ritualistic mass maiming and killing of people, particularly disabled people, vulnerable people, children, asylum seekers and refugees, elderly people, Africans and the African diaspora, queer people particularly trans people, low paid essential workers like retail and hospitality workers, and medical professionals.

COVID denialism is a money ritual and horrific human sacrifice which has now extended to pets and wild animals. The state has misled their population for money. Capitalism is an evil spirit and politicians alongside their corporate overlords and shareholders, offer up the health of the asset-less (well even those with assets at this point) in exchange for money. This is a long tried and tested money ritual that started with slavery.

My sibling and I watched the movie Subuola, as I watched, the link between the COVID pandemic and human sacrifice became clear to me. I felt disgusted, duped and defrauded by the grand scale of the lies and harm that were being pushed. I felt angry every time I would see or hear that COVID was just a cold or that a person could have a mild version of a severe respiratory virus. The betrayal felt similar to losing my religion.

Human sacrifice is Boris Johnson telling the British public some of their elderly relatives will die. It's Rishi Sunak causing an "Eat Out to Help Out" infection surge which was no doubt a state sponsored human sacrifice to the hospitality industry. (Note Eat Out to Help Out was a Conservative government scheme operating from 3 Aug to 31 Aug 2020, costing £500 million encouraging people to eat in restaurants and ultimately catch COVID-19.) Ireland had a similar scheme called "Stay and Spend".

Some people have experienced cognitive decline, some their eyesight, some their abilities to climb stairs without feeling out of breath. To say they've lost those things hides the truth of the matter. People with more power and assets misled and stole those things from them to increase the amount of capital they are hoarding. The injustice and real life consequences has turned me into a recluse.

When there have been economic downturns in the past and in the earlier stages of the pandemic there were no suggestions from the capital/resource hoarding class to seize offshore accounts and use the estimated trillions to help the average person. Instead, corporations cemented our pandemic trauma with a cost of living crisis, which is just a corporate greed crisis.

While I understand that everyone has various factors that can influence the level of COVID precautions they can employ in their lives I think it is important that we do not see things as a binary, whether we are taking precautions or not. We can all implement some form of COVID safety in our lives.
