JL, Yes, Hubbard was so insecure. He was clever how he got others to fight his battles.

Jere, I’ve read that one time Hubbard ordered the destruction of a load of vaccines that had come from port authorities, and the crew’s cards falsely marked that they had been vaccinated. Perhaps that was early on, and after a nasty disease outbreak or two he decided it would be more expedient to follow ‘wog’ maritime health practices.

“I don’t know how any Scientologist can claim a religious exemption to any Covid vaccine mandates,”

No need to. No one can be forced to get a vaccine in the USA other than by their employer for work requirements or to attend a public school. The gov has no such power.

Small pox was announced eliminated from the word 6 years before Hubbard died. It was BIG news and he saw it. Polio was also gone from the USA long before Tubby assumed room temp. Measles was all but gone.

Geoff, Tubby attacked anyone/anything he feared might expose his con for what it was. Additionally, having psychs and medicos as rampaging enemies focussed his slaves on a common enemy, so Tubby could demand more work/money from them. Nice scam if you had the stomach for it, as Ron did — in spades.

Well, Surprise, surprise! ONE arena where Hubbard did NOT openly flaunt local and international laws and regulations, no matter what he said in confidential briefings to advanced practitioners in the Briefing Course, ACCs, or whatever. He DID sorta sometimes somewhat “believe” in germ Theory when it could have affected the abilities of his serfs/slaves to MAKE that MONEY.

Everything is some sort of lying or other form of marketing in scn. When he lost track of marketing, stats crashed, though not as badly as McSavage has succeeded to crash things. No one who understands/believes KSW can have much enthusiasm selling what Davey is pushing, so even without Davey’s active suppression, his squirreling succeeds to keep the old gung-ho groups from gaining any traction, any enthusiasm.
All gone!

Sue me. I’m retired, so can darn well have breakfast just before sunset. or just after midnight.

Sitting in my chair and pounding the poor defenseless keys is FUN for me, though it’s different than when I was paid to beat the dumb machines into submission. At heart I’m a computer bully, not a cyber bully (except to flat earthers and young Earth creationists. They’re FUN to mock, and it’s easy as they’re blissfully unaware of the idea of logical thought.

The real problem is that catching Covid-19 is SO likely to have side-effects ranging up to body death. After that, you no longer care if you can catch it again. Their Woo, woo is like alcohol. It isn’t a solution, but it can make you forget the problem.
