You're out of your mind. Nothing like this could ever happen in the United States. Next you'll be telling me a dementia patient is the President.

Those of us who work in the IT field are generally aware of Cloud Computing concepts. To the uninitiated, cloud computing is, in broad terms, the renting of things like Infrastructure and Software from a service provider. This is opposed to owning your own data center as well as the software and operating systems they run on.
Lately I have noticed a curious thing. Everyone I know, who is fully vaccinated is coming down with bad flu, colds, and even bronchitis.
Two things to note here: 1. It is not flu season 2. The unvaccinated don't appear to have the same issue. It's almost as if the vaccinated no longer have natural immunity.
So a thought occurred to me.
Remember the days when you could but a box with a cd to say something like Microsoft Office, install it and then use it for years and years? I recently had to buy MS Office 365. It's a yearly license now. It has to be renewed. And most things are like that these days.
The idea is that everything is rented. You no longer own anything outright and certain companies using this model have seen huge increases in their profit margins
WHAT IF ... the vaccine is a way to help achieve that goal for big pharma ? In order to keep your bodies immunity up-to-date, you are now required to pay them to provide booster shots on a regular basis. Immunity As A Service.
Further down the rabbit hole, perhaps in the future, you might be denied your booster if you don't have a high enough social credit score or as some form of punishment. Without the booster, you get sick from every encounter with any innocuous germ.
Imagine a world where you get denied access to shops because you dont have the right passport? Oh wait that's already happening.

I really thought that this was a given from a few months back. Clearly somebody wants total dependence on the big pharma leading to total control. That's been obvious for awhile.
