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.

Australia Update

[fredsmith11]

Latest 2022 death rate from the ABS (Aust Bureau of Statistics) is 17.3% above baseline, up from 17.1% last month.

There was big bulge in deaths in Jan-Feb 2022. At the time I put it down to the booster campaign in late 2021, so it will be interesting to see if that happens this time around. If the bulge doesn't happen, the death rate could drop back a bit in 2023, unless things start to go more seriously wrong in other ways

Nb. Boosters have pretty much fallen by the wayside now (after the 3rd shot) and even the Govt seems half-hearted about pushing them.

Most of my friends and acquaintances act as if they've forgotten I'm an anti-vaxxer (what worse social disease could one carry?) and I don't push the issue, so when someone is reported as being sick, or having died suddenly I enquire discreetly about the circumstances. There seems to be more people in their 40s and 50s dying suddenly, but that's only my subjective assessment and I'm biased.

Certainly none of the vaxxed see anything unusual going on at all. There's definitely an ongoing issue with sick/unavailable workers, but that's blamed on COVID.

17.3% is an extra 2,600 ish deaths per month vs a normal rate of 15,000 ish across the whole country, so it's still reasonably easy to hide with various excuses.

Thanks for the update. What you describe seems to be happening all across the board in the western societies (I haven't looked at the other ones) - boosters not popular but still provided and taken, people 'forgetting' what was done to the unvaxxed, excess mortality, most of it sudden death, the vaxxed oblivious and just going about their lives, shortage of workers, excess mortality low enough to hide up with excuses.
For my country I would add that the boomers are considerably more enthousiastic for the booster than the younger generations. Also I'd add that public life just seems subdued. People in general seem more docile than usual and less colorful. No idea if it is the jab or fear or people subconsciously bracing for what is coming or something else alltogether.
