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.
Another update from one nursing student

(Anonymous) 2022-11-06 07:25 pm (UTC)(link)I wish you all the best with your education, there is plenty of value in learning to care for people.
A friend of mine is a resident, where I found this type of attitude common, pre-vax so a bit different, but definitely very negative. I really admired her because she found the like-minded group and distanced herself when she felt that negativity was rubbing off on her. As a result, she found a great group of close friends and when conversations or topics stray to the negative she is quick to exit and sticks to her principles. I hope you find those people, assuming they are there, who also see the signs and don't want to fall into the spirals of doom.

(Anonymous) 2022-11-07 04:12 am (UTC)(link)This may also be your signal to find some new friends-- those who are not so unimaginative and spiritually lazy.
What kind of friends do you want to have as you go through life?
I am not minimizing how difficult things can be, I get that-- and all the more reason to buck up and use your powers.
Whether nursing school would be your best path for learning how to care for people I could not say, but I do recognize that there is something extremely perverse and dangerous going on the mainstream medicine right now.
As you requested, I will pray for you, and may you be blessed.
Thank you for your intentions to care for people. I have been in the hospital many times and I always, always appreciated the nurses who were kind and helped me.

(Anonymous) 2022-11-07 03:27 pm (UTC)(link)This is wonderful Grumbling Grumbledore.
'Harnessing' the imagination to 'envision' possibilities is something many of us develop (or are developing) later in life (SAD COUGH).
This is a separate use of the imagination from 'creating' art works. It can go hand in hand and how wonderful that will be.

(Anonymous) 2022-11-07 10:35 am (UTC)(link)I've been doing the Octagon Society work JMG posted here and one of my realizations about many of the awful things I went through as a child and into my 20's is how much it made me the person I am today. I got to the point now in my mid-50's to be at peace with what happened. I hope the healing process is faster for you and I hope that your resolve doesn't diminish. That part of you holding on, do what you can to strengthen it.
