The 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 very high number of comments, so I'm opening yet 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 plan on using rent-a-troll derailing or disruption tactics, please go away. I'm quite familiar with the standard tactics used by troll farms to disrupt online forums, and am ready, willing, and able -- and in fact quite eager -- to ban people permanently for engaging in them here. Oh, and I also lurk on other Covid-19 vaccine skeptic blogs, so I'm likely to notice when the same posts are showing up on more than one venue.
4. 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, as more and more vaccinated people call in sick with the disease the vaccine was supposed to keep them from getting, and the euphemism "died suddenly" sounds like a repeated drumbeat in the media, the floor is open for discussion.

thanks. / i haven't even HEARD that concept in decades.
i'm glad that it's finally coming back, myself. even if only inside myself.
(giggle)
but yeah, i see a huuuuge backlash coming against tech and all that it has wrought. i, too, was like that homeless guy screaming at tech bros only a few years ago, before the pandemic distracted me. when i danced outside it was the tech people who felt some kind of way about it called the cops and attacked me to STOP me because they felt it was Their World Now.
i'm not afraid of the other screaming homeless just yet; they come up and hug me watch me thank me protect me wave to me and throw fists in the air like i know what i'm doing.
remember that very public and very sincere tech bro letter to the city complaining that tech people worked hard and didn't wanna have to see the homeless they had to step over to get to their new gentrified offices?
there's a reason for the lack of love. so in the meantime i'd cover your public laptops apple watches and google glasses reduxed or air pod thingies-- cover all your portable grafted or implanted technology in fake fur, googly eyes, and triangular ears and pretend they're a new breed of chihuahua bull terrier mix they won't know whether to steal yet.
