Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 65

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. Also, please don't drag in current quarrels about sex, race, religious, etc. No, I don't care if you disagree with that: my journal, my rules.
With that said, the floor is open for discussion.

(Anonymous) 2022-11-03 01:47 pm (UTC)(link)This kind nurse magically got me an appointment for my youngest at their doctor's office at the time and date of my choosing. I was astounded. This, like, never happens. Doctors are so overbooked and busy here. The state must REALLY want kids vaccinated! It was around the time there was a measles outbreak in New York, right next door, so perhaps they were extra concerned. I am big believer in the old school vaccinations against potentially deadly diseases (measles, tetanus, polio, diptheria and whooping cough), so I was happy to take her up on it.
I have yet to be harassed about the newer rotavirus, RSV, chicken pox, and cervical cancer vaxxes, which leads me to believe the public health folks realize those are less necessary.
But there's a more subtle way they harass you: by refusing to let your kids go to day care, school, or summer camp without the full complement of vaccines (day care includes the flu shot.) This is the way a lot of people start out homeschooling--because they are literally forced into it by the required vaccination schedule of public schools. If the state starts requiring the Coof mRNA shots for school, or if any of the other req'd vaccines go mRNA, I believe there will be a huge protest and large exodus from the public schools around here.
And by the way, if you're interested in finding friendly doctors, ask the homeschooling crowd. They know.

(Anonymous) 2022-11-04 06:22 pm (UTC)(link)They sent people TO MY DOOR to "inform" me about hurricane relief and availability of vaccines and oh by the way, have you had the vaccine?
Choice words were exchanged.
Twice. The second time asking if they had a warrant seemed to end it. But I'm sure I'm now on some "hostile reaction to community outreach" list.
