Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 5

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.

For what it is worth I am a nurse who is working at Stanford hospital and I recently lost my job due to the vaccine mandates. I also lost another per DM job at Kaiser due to the vaccine mandates even with applying for both religious and medical exemption. At the time that I realized what was happening to me it felt like the walls were closing in, however now I feel that I am actually very lucky because I was able to have some foresight to save enough money, I don't have any children, and I feel that this has freed up my energies to see beneath the surface and work on things that I otherwise would not have been able to. I do believe in a year that the situation will be very different if you ever want to return to bedside nursing although I'm currently looking outside the field as I feel that it will be quite a roller coaster over the next year. If you ever want to reach out to me my email is jdecandia@live.com

As one who was in Stanford Hospital as a patient, and also had two family members as patients, and we all received excellent nursing care, I am so sorry to hear this news. I could see then (pre-covid) how understaffed the hospital was, and how hard the nurses had to work. If I were in your shoes, by the way, I would have done the same, resigned. I think they are madder than hatters to mandate this "vaccine." And I think you are quite right, that in a year the situation will be very different.

In the meantime, and yonder, I wish you all the best.
