So when empathy wars break out, one of the first things we should notice is how
precious little empathy is displayed by those defending empathy.
Not only do they not display the thing that their banners stand for, they also display a real-time embodiment of the concerns expressed by their opponents.

The mRNA platform’s acceptance rests on the claim that its trials proved it “safe and effective,” yet the same tactics routinely used to rig clinical trials were used throughout them, from the misleading “95% effective” figure to injured participants having their injuries recoded as unrelated conditions.
Using trial data released by court order, a team of independent researchers and whistleblowers spent years auditing Pfizer’s trial. Within the limited records procured, extensive irregularities were documented throughout the trials including 1,203 participants ...

Just down the road is Ottumwa. Earlier this week a City Council meeting began the proceedings with an invocation to Satan:
“Dear Dark Father,
"Let us stand now, unbowed and unfettered by arcane doctrines born of fearful minds in darkened times. Let us embrace the Luciferian impulse to eat from the tree of knowledge and dissipate our blissful and comforting delusions of old."
It ended with the cry, "Hail Satan."
