support groupThe 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 gargantuan (and increasing) 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.

My husband has a doctor's appointment next week and I'm sure he'll be asked if he wants the vaccine. He's not been reading/following much more than general headlines and has been following both personal-hermit tendencies (to avoid exposure) and my lead in distrust of the vaccines. I doubt he'd have a good snappy comeback to shut down all vaxx conversation, so I'd like to give him one.

Tell me your favorite ways to get a medical professional all off your back!

today mine is: Pfizer's largest experiment/study won't be over until 2023 and I won't take an experimental drug.

(Not that I'll take it after 2023, but nobody needs to know that!)

I'm sure there are better ones, so step up to the mic!

"No, thank you." If you argue you invite counter-argument.

Yeah, I'm going to have a new doctor who will be treating my type 2 diabetes starting in November, and I'm not sure how well she'll take my saying, "I've decided I want to be part of the control group" about the "vaccine". I'm making sure I'm being extra good in my dietary habits so that at the very least my "A1C" blood-sugar reading will be acceptable.

"Not at this time."

PS My doctor recommended that I get vaxxed, but when I said no twice, he admitted that his own nurse wouldn't take the vax, either.

Perhaps “I’m in the control group”?

At least when I experimented with drugs I never wore a lab coat!

If we're going to experiment with drugs I know some better ones!


I'm a doctor of science.

At my yearly physical in July I said "I'm not interested at this time." and the doctor moved on to trying to get me to take the shingles vaccine. lol

How about: "I'm not going to volunteer to be a lab rat."

Temporaryreality: My standard response is "The risks from covid are basically known and are tolerable to me, but there is no long term vax safety data, so it reminds me of Russian Roulette. No Thank You."
