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.

Hello stcathalexandra,

I can relate to what you are saying. I just got back from attending a literary gala event and a book festival and I found that I was very turned off / bored / disdainful of so many of the people-- the "scene" that I used to find so engaging. I wasn't surprised by that, I expected that, but still, it's a downer.

So why did I even attend? Curiosity, mainly. I was hoping for some more clarity, too, at least in the conversations I have with myself.

I haven't entirely given up on the old scene, but it's a ghost of what it was to me, and I conclude that much of the reason is that most people in it are relying on support from government, foundations, and universities and schools-- all of which give the boot to "wrongthink."

Right now I am thinking that what I need to do is find my people, and that means identify **individuals** and nurture those **individual relationships**. Free-lancers, entrepreneurs, independent editors, independent scholars, and so on.

PS With one exception, my family is the same story, all vaxxed, most also boosted, several injured, no one wants to hear anything about it. At. all.

It's weird to feel like one is visiting a foreign country while doing something that was a regular part of the year.

I'm so sorry to hear about your family. That's gotta hit hard. Myself, I cry if I stop to think it.
