Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 29

[ecosophia]

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 -- to understate the matter considerably! -- 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 Canadian officials launch a campaign of reprisals against citizens who supported a peaceful protest against government policy, and the words "died suddenly" become the favorite media euphemism of our time, the floor is open for discussion.

This, more than anything, gives me hope that the fraud and lies surrounding the mrna "vaccines" will actually see the light of day, for all to behold.

It's also a potent reminder that the giants duke it out between one another from time to time, shaking things up, and making collusion on a global scale basically impossible.

I'm nervous that, like wall street some years ago, the insurance companies will be bought off, too-big-to-fail style, to keep them quiet. We'll see.

Today on the front page of the Wall Street Journal:
"Rise in Non-Covid-19 Deaths Pares Life Insurers' Earnings"

According to the article, death policy claims in the third quarter of 2021 were 37.7% higher than baseline. About half of those deaths were covid-related; the other half were mostly cardiovascular and neurological, according to the article. The insurance executives believe that it's primarily due to 'delayed medical care' due to the pandemic.

But that's...a lot. Even if you subtract the covid deaths, you've got 18.7% non-covid. In a normal year, a 6% increase over baseline would be considered high. 18% is three times that.

The CEO of OneAmerica Financial Partners caims that he expects the death toll will remain elevated for some time due to survivors who "later die from the toll Covid has taken on their bodies."
