troubledThe semi-open posts  I've hosted here on the Covid-19 narrative, the inadequately tested experimental drugs for it, and the whole cascading mess surrounding them have continued to field a huge number of comments, so I'm opening another space for discussion. The rules are the same as before: 

1. If you plan on parroting the party line of the medical industry and its paid shills, please go away. This is a place for people to talk openly, honestly, and freely about their concerns that the party line in question is dangerously flawed and that actions being pushed by the medical industry et al. are causing injury and death. It is not a place for you to dismiss those concerns. Anyone who wants to hear the official story and the arguments in favor of it can find those on hundreds of thousands of websites.

2. If you plan on insisting that the current situation is the result of a deliberate plot by some villainous group of people or other, please go away. There are tens of thousands of websites currently rehashing various conspiracy theories about the Covid-19 outbreak and the vaccines. This is not one of them. What we're exploring is the likelihood that what's going on is the product of the same arrogance, incompetence, and corruption that the medical industry and its tame politicians have displayed so abundantly in recent decades. That possibility deserves a space of its own for discussion, and that's what we're doing here. 

3. If you don't believe in treating people with common courtesy, please go away. I have, and enforce, a strict courtesy policy on my blogs and online forums, and this is no exception. The sort of schoolyard bullying that takes place on so many other internet forums will get you deleted and banned here. No, I don't care if you disagree with that: my journal, my rules. 

With that said, the floor is open for discussion.

Just a note: data out of England seems to suggest the while it might help protect against severe disease, it actually is quite bad with preventing death - severe disease numbers are better for vaxxed, but seem worse wrt deaths

That's one of the data points which made me decide it's probably not safe to take the shots: when medical workers would rather lose their jobs than take something, there's something very wrong with it....

As an essential worker i noticed that at least where i live when things started to open up the year or so of practice most people missed out on the road was obvious. It would be interesting to note if the vaccine was involved but i wouldn’t look farther than a set back in familiarity on the road.

Demonic Influences on COVID vaccine divinations.

One thing I read that alarmed me in the previous posts that people's divinations on the COVID vaccine were possibly being influenced by demonic entities. Is this possible and is this something that people are experiencing? I had a neutral divination on the vaccine for me personally which is the main reason why I decided to take the vaccine much sooner than I was planning. What entities can we invoke before divinations to prevent interference?

I'm in eastern Ontario and have also felt the same: things have gotten a lot worse in the past few days. I'd attributed it to tension over our election, but if you're sensing it too, then it might be a lot larger...

Hi Bob - I got a virus Feb 2020 which I thought was covid. I ended up with MCAS, although I had some EBV symptoms too. Because it was before tests were available I didnt confirm covid. Turns out there was Swine Flu circulating too at the time, and this fits better with my symptoms because I got 'Long Swine Flu' in 2009. I got covid 2 weeks ago so I can say now the symptoms are very different. Still suffering MCAS symptoms. Its been a challenging couple of years but I went Carnivore 4 months ago and I can live pretty normally. There is an EBV support group on Facebook - not sure if you use it?

I’m in Washington state too. I notice this as well in the state overall. Although I do think it varies quite a bit depending on where you are in the state. I notice it a bit in Bellingham in some places, but mostly it feels pretty relaxed around here as long as you don’t read the online neighborhood forums. But in Seattle? I am so glad I don’t live there anymore. I don’t think I could go anywhere or see anyone.

I've given up on trying to convince people that what's being done to children is going to cause serious long term issues: people are insisting children can survive anything we're doing. Which is true, but misses the point. They may survive, but how many of them will have long term issues with social skills? How many will have to fight terror when hearing anyone sneeze for the rest of their lives? How many will never recover emotionally from the years of isolation?

I remember reading that book and realizing that he had just explained a great many of the ridiculous policies being put in place in the name of "protection from Covid". They served to sever the link to reality, which, for a good many people, was already very tenuous at best. The fact they did nothing to reduce risks from Covid, or in many cases made it worse, was irrelevant: addressing Covid risks was never the point....

I agree, it does seem to have settled a bit, but to me it feels maybe like the calm before the storm. I think when they come for the under 12's it could go sideways. I think both sides are waiting perhaps, quietly circling each other and eyeing the metaphorical terrain, to see how conditions evolve. Our recent zoom PTO meeting had a bit more pushback than I was expecting, with some parents and teachers rolling eyes and snickering at the fringe comments. But, I was watching very carefully, and saw more subtle nods and facial cues that made me think there is less support for the narrative than people are letting on. If vaccines are causing what's happening in Israel, and do a similar thing here in the next couple months, and it's spun as the variant of the day, it may invoke enough fear that the powers try to push through vaccines for all age groups. My gut says they are waiting for events to push the narrative ahead.

If I get you right this means indications of any increasing problem may not be particularly clear, at least to start, as the indicators won't be more ill people with serious CoVid and could very easily be waved away as unrelated.

It does indeed look grim. Do we have any idea how true it is?

Because we've seen numerous examples of horror stories being flat out made up out of whole cloth. The Rolling Stone article on ivermectin is just the most recent example.

This is useful to visualize excess mortality (all causes) from the several year average. e.g. UK tracking upwards a little to 15% above average mid August. U.S. about 5% above average - early August.

The basic scenario seems feasible to me.

I must say that all sides seem to expect the near-term future to be very ugly and are laying the groundwork to blame the Others for it. Right now some vaxxed people are saying that it's all the fault of the wicked unvaxxed that the hospitals are filling up, even though vaxxed people are also spreading covid. You describe this as "the shrill claims of the fearful," but then speculate about how the vaxxed will "present much greater danger" to the innocent unvaxxed by generating new variants, though just as much evolution occurs during replication in unvaxxed people. And goodness knows, the people who claim that you can get every disease in the book from passing a vaccinated person on the sidewalk could be called shrill and fearful.

Suppose that this time next year a lot of people, vaxxed and unvaxxed equally, are dying of the Omega strain. Will the whole discourse still be about assigning blame? The vaxxed saying the unvaxxed must have made it happen, and vice versa? A lot of this speculation seems to me to be about setting up that fight - which means that nobody on either side thinks next year it will just be common cold coronavirus #5, and they're all scrambling to set up scapegoats.

Tolerance could cause that, I would think. Less severe pneumonia caused by immune overreaction but more death associated with uncontrolled viral replication.

I'm rereading the how not to do magic series you did, and one gave me serious pause in relation to the current possibility of a vaccine crisis: https://ecosophia.dreamwidth.org/85905.html

The reason this made me pause is that much of it could be provided if there was a massive die off. The working/meditation called for the following to be provided:

Free energy technologies to power all machines with no pollution or on-going costs
Abundant clean water for all human, animal, and plant needs
Abundant locally grown organic food for each community
Abundant health care for everyone using inexpensive, highly effective natural methods with no harmful side-effects

Well, if a good portion of the world died, then we'd have more energy available for the remainder; we'd need less water; the ensuing disruptions to global trade would mean much more food would be local, organic (since pesticides would be harder to get), and abundant per person (since there'd be fewer people); and the ensuing crisis of legitimacy for modern medicine would persuade people to switch over to natural methods of health care.

This is now making me wonder just how much of the coronavirus event is the blowback from the poorly thought out magic the neopagan scene flung around in the last few years...

Yikes, this is gruesome. Way back when this started there was up to a 90% death rate in people who went on the vents and my now-late husband and I agreed that if we got infected we would never consent to a vent, never go to a hospital where we might have one shoved down our throats (no visitors to stop them!). They threaten you with death if you don't, but if you do it probably means death anyway, and a >50% chance of ICU brain damage if you live. And even after they've run out of options they'll prohibit your family from giving you anything that might do any good.

Of course there is selection bias, as it is the people who are seeing the worst problems who write in to websites like this. Also, I have to say, are we sure that all these comments are legit? Telling people that if they go to the ICU unvaxxed they will either die or leave a vegetable hooked up to machines and a surgically implanted feeding tube (that's what "pegged" means ... get an advance directive signed THIS WEEK if you can...) would certainly be a great way to terrorize people into getting vaccinated. Which, at this point, still looks like probably the better choice to me. However, how do we know that some of these lurid they're-alllll-veggies-now stories are not in the same category as those gunshot victims, lined up in their parkas waiting for treatment while the ER works on the ivermectin overdoses?
