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.

Yes, I remember that one. Sad to say it's a more "standard" mistreatment story since he was alone. It's the kind of story they tell when advising you to always have an advocate with you in the hospital, since otherwise the staff can easily persuade themselves that you're "not in your right mind and if you were you would agree with" whatever they want to do to you, "so therefore they should tie you to the bed and do it."

What would have happened if he'd had a loved one who kept visiting, in front of whom he said he wanted to check out AMA, and who said "My dad has said he wants to check out AMA," etc.?

Many years ago when I was in the hospital with the flu (basically I needed some IV fluids), I checked out AMA after 2 days, it was awful, they wanted to keep me for observation and gave me a really hard time about it, and since I didn't have my full energy back yet, that was such a drag. But I didn't need to be there and, need I mention, hospital food sucks.

Now, AMA is another matter when you're talking about patient who cannot walk and bathe and toilet unassisted. To physically get the person out of the bed to the car, how does that even work? (Answer: specialized transport using a stretcher, and in the US that costs about 500-700 for a 10 minute trip.) And to care for a bedridden patient at home is absurdly exhausting, it requires specialized skills, and if you hire someone, put on your seatbelt before you hear what costs! It is shockingly expensive-- even when the home health aides are overworked for a pittance.
