Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 64

[ecosophia]

As we proceed through the second year of these open posts, it's pretty clear that the official narrative is cracking as the toll of deaths and injuries from the Covid vaccines rises steadily and the vaccines themselves demonstrate their total uselesness at preventing Covid infection or transmission. It's still important to keep watch over the mis-, mal- and nonfeasance of our self-proclaimed health gruppenfuehrers, and the disastrous results of the Covid mania, but I think it's also time to begin thinking about what might be possible as the existing medical industry reels under the impact of its own self-inflicted injuries. 

So it's time for another open post. 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, the floor is open for discussion.

My anecdata:

Just before the shutdown March 2020, I suffered a fairly intense 2 day flu-like illness, though I did not loose my sense of smell. I assumed I had covid, but when I had my antibodies checked in October, 2021, there was no evidence of prior covid infection. I had no further illnesses until Nov, 2021, I had a severe flu-like illness that kept me in bed for 3 days, and I lost my sense of smell. When I had my antibodies tested again in Jan/Feb 2022, I had strongly positive IgG and IgM antibodies for covid. I've had no other illnesses since. My sense of smell has only partially returned. I've never had the quax.

My daughters, 12 and 19, have each only had one mild covid-seeming illness in last 2 1/2 years, in Autumn 2021, with brief loss of sense of smell. They are un-quaxed.

My quaxed former wife has had 2 runs of covid that I know of. She's not getting the booster.

My older daughter works as a barista in a coffee shop housed in a large regional chain super market. Everyone else in the super market is quaxed, yet they call in numerous sick days because of covid, most calling in sick twice, often more, over the year. My daughter insists she has the best attendance record by far among the employees there.

Thanks for the replies, everyone!

With regard to people taking off work, I was at a standup comedy show recently and there was a round of jokes about "covid vacation" with the moral of the story being that you should enjoy your five days of paid sick time while you still can.
