Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 65

[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. 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.

I have wanted to write about my time last weekend at the Free Speech in Medicine Conference (www.freespeechinmedicine.com/2022conf-agenda), but it's been hard to find words sufficient to express how powerful the experience was.

I think that the best way to convey it would be to refer to a comment on Trish Wood's substack:

https://trishwood.substack.com/p/of-heretics-and-heroes/comment/10174505

I agree with the commenter that perhaps it's no coincidence that the conference took place during the Emergencies Act Inquiry, because the two are spiritually linked.

As anyone will know who's been following this week's testimony by Convoy organizers, one of the dominant themes that emerges is the way that the Convoy brought hope to so many people. The Convoy broke the Narrative with a message of love, not fear. There are thousands and thousands of people who feel the same way as you.

I felt that for me, as a physician, last weekend broke the Narrative in a bit of a different way, which is, it's not possible to believe any longer that doctors, lawyers, professionals and academics who see a problem with the past 3 years are a "small fringe minority".

I described the weekend to several friends as "healing", but to misquote Sam Gamgee, "that don't do it justice by a long road". I believe (literally) that the atmosphere was supernaturally charged with a spirit of unity and humanity. Prior to the weekend, one might say that I saw through a glass darkly; now I see clearly that there are many others, from everywhere, on this journey, and the time for being afraid is past.

If you get a chance to attend anything like this, please do. You won't regret it.

A highlight of my life was hanging out with Jay Battacharya in his hotel room, which goes to show that when you step out on a path that you know is right, even if it seems scary, incredible doors get opened.

P.S. I met up with a doctor friend of mine at the conference. This friend had lately come from his class reunion. He told me, "Initially I didn't even want to go to my reunion, I didn't want to have to get in arguments with people and so forth. And do you know what happened? The whole evening people were coming up to me saying, 'Hey, you know what, you were right the whole time.'"

Thank you for this, bofur, and I am delighted to hear that it was such an excellent experience.

That sounds great, and I hope I can go to some such event.

I am so happy to read your positive report, Bofur (it was eagerly anticipated for a long time!).
To hear your report of the "spirit of unity and humanity" in a context other than a convoy is heartening. Gradually, in its own way, and in its own time, this spirit is spreading.

"The time for being afraid is past." Indeed. Indeed!

Re Bofur: 'Hey, you know what, you were right the whole time.'

Good for you Bofur. But no one is saying that to me in my neck of the woods.

And I'm dreading the state legislature here (Washington state) adopting the quax as part of the childhood vaccination schedule per the CDC. My younger daughter's pediatrician is fully on board already with the quax (my ex. adores this doctor, so I can't change that) and the new recommendation will not help. I've basically threatened bloody murder if my 12 year-old gets the quax (she want's it for social reasons). The private school she attends follows the state recommendations like a weather vane, and I dread what the school administration might decide.

Thank you so much for this, Bofur.

Watching the convoy testimonies is turning out to be wonderful.

Is there anything online from your conference?
