Opening Insights: Regrets<\/h2>\n

Informational Insights: Not a Doctor<\/h2>\n
\n

Reality television show star Mike Rowe addressed the debate over vaccinations in a lengthy Facebook post <\/a>and said that he regretted jumping on board the lockdown campaign early on in the pandemic.<\/p>\n

Rowe posted his response to a question by a follower of his Facebook page that asked why he hadn't encouraged people to get vaccinated.<\/p>\n

\"[W]hat are you waiting for? As you surely know, Delta is raging. The sooner we're all vaccinated, the sooner we can get back to normal!\" asked Steve Manchin.<\/p>\n

\"The short answer is no - I have not publicly encouraged anyone to get vaccinated,\" Rowe responded<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"In fact, I have recently declined to participate in several PSA's designed to persuade people to get the jab,\" he added. \"That's not because I'm opposed to vaccines, obviously. Vaccines have saved more lives than any other advancement in the long history of medicine, and to your point, I got the shots the minute I was eligible. But I'm not a doctor, Steve, and even though I occasionally play one on TV, I'm not inclined to dispense medical advice to the people on this page.\"<\/p>\n

Rowe went on to explain that he had signed on to support the lockdown early on in the pandemic and he regretted it.<\/p>\n

I did appear in a few PSA's early on, back when they assured us that locking down was essential to keeping our hospitals from being overrun. \"Two weeks to flatten the curve!\" Remember that one? That of course, turned out to be untrue, and I regret my role in helping perpetuate that particular falsehood. I also regret what I said during the first Zoom show to air in primetime. It was an episode of After the Catch, where I discussed the lockdowns with a few crab-boat captains. At one point, I looked into the camera lens on my computer and said, with uncharacteristic earnestness, \"For the first time in a long time, it appears we're all in the same boat.\"<\/p>\n

Rowe criticized the renewed mask mandate in California by citing statistics about the efficacy of vaccines.<\/p>\n

\"According to the CDC, just one 1 in 27,000 vaccinated people have contracted it,\" he explained. \"That means if you're vaccinated, you're more likely to get struck by lightning than contract COVID. And yet, people are once again calling for more lockdowns, more restrictions, and more compliance from those who already got their shots.\"<\/p>\n

He went on to criticize elected officials, journalists and some medical experts.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"They're always certain, usually wrong, incapable of shame, and utterly void of humility. Is it any wonder millions find them unpersuasive?\" he asked rhetorically.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rowe concluded by demanding that the government stop treating the unvaccinated like the enemy and instead a \"steady flow of verifiable data that definitively proves that the vast, undeniable, overwhelming majority of people who get this disease are unvaccinated.\"<\/p>\n

He added that new episodes of his show, \"Dirty Work,\" are forthcoming.<\/p>\n

Possibilities for Consideration: A Power Too Great<\/h2>\n

To stand against the immense power behind the technology, internet and financial organizations in charge of our government and education institutions we must get smarter and do it together.<\/p>\n

AwareComm\u00ae offers a platform that provides the resources and the guidance to meet this challenge.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not just that we need a solution, in this new environment nobody will trust, everybody is angry, nobody listens, commerce stops, efficiency diminishes, nobody cares.<\/p>\n

Our culture consists of perception, attitude, thinking and behavior and we have created a culture now rooted in distrust, fear and anger.<\/p>\n

The following models illustrate the psychology of fear <\/strong>and control<\/strong> being used to force America to its knees.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Once people are conditioned emotionally to accept fear as a foundation perception, they become willing candidates to accept the principles of control. Thus, they become slaves to the authority, that being government, propaganda or social media influence.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The Fear and Control models will permeate all dimensions of our lives and must be reversed if our communities and our country are to survive.<\/p>\n

Whatever we do, however we do it, this becomes the basis for how we will build relationships at home, work, worship and play.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Real Solution: Founded in Spiritual Principles<\/h2>\n

A real solution, fully developed (tested, proven and paid for), is found in AwareComm's proprietary Adaptive Intelligence<\/em><\/strong> (AdI™) Algorithm.<\/p>\n

\n
\"This<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

The AdI™ Algorithm aligns with the intent of Pope Francis's call for a 'Good Algorithm,'<\/a> to reverse the damage done by the irresponsible use of technology.<\/p>\n

Rebuilding Community Commerce - - Rebuilding the Soul of a Community<\/strong><\/p>\n

AwareComm's AdI™ Algorithm is available in a community Collaboration Laboratory (Co-Lab™) Research and ePublishing Institute, where people learn to take charge of their communities by transcending adversity <\/strong>to diversity <\/strong>and solidarity <\/strong>through the application of responsible commerce<\/em>. Success is assured by applying the principles of Adaptive Intelligence to entrepreneurial thinking using socially responsible capitalism.<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

What comes from an established foundation of commerce rooted in spiritual principles and AdI™ is a new business model. This business model, for the application of Socially Responsible Capitalism, is our theme and driving inspiration.<\/p>\n

A Co-Lab™ is the implementation mechanism of the result of 30+ years of field research.<\/p>\n

Co-Labs™ create an environment conducive to learning, solidarity and change (old ideas are more quickly learned and new ideas are more quickly accepted and implemented).<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Our Next Step<\/h2>\n

The AwareComm\u00ae Team is attracting partners in order to awaken in the people a desire for peace and solidarity as a way to fulfill their personal needs.<\/p>\n

Through a careful blend of AI + BI + HI + SI the Co-Lab™ Research Institute has the correct balance of technology, methodology, human understanding, spiritual principles and data science to put us on the right track to individual social and cultural empowerment.<\/p>\n
