Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 71

[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.

Is worried better than bleak, or worse?

Or are you just trying to vary the wording a bit? :-)

All I know is, the URI of that gif in the page source, is "https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/mood/kanji/sad.gif". Maybe it does mean worried, who knows? Many of those ideographs have multiple meanings and they change depending on context. Perhaps it really is kanji? You never can tell with the internet these days.

Well, at least one Japanese site agrees that the kanji means "sad" - https://jisho.org/search/%E6%82%B2%20%23kanji

So it's highly likely it is kanji and it's moderately likely it does mean "sad" and not "worried", at least according to that online dictionary.

NHS collapsing

[(Anonymous)]

More people are in a worse state of health than at any time in the last 33 months, Powls adds. “What we’re seeing now is a patient population that is much, much sicker than they were pre-Covid.”

The result is a drastic increase in serious health conditions, and enormous demand for care. “We’re seeing an increase in patients who are having strokes, an increase in people who are having heart attacks, an increase in people who just can’t cope with their physical illnesses any more.”

But it’s not just physical conditions. “The other big hike we’re seeing is people who are presenting with mental health as their primary reason for their presentation,” says Powls.

Antibiotic price shoots up in UK

Antibiotic price shoots up in UK

When we look at the highly impactful consequences of the 'covid' years developing, this might turn out to be quite a big part.

Unaffordability and unavailability are close cousins.

'The cost of antibiotics used to treat infections including strep A have risen more than tenfold in the UK in recent weeks, pharmacists have said, with many facing continued difficulties in sourcing supplies.'

Well, Here I go

[(Anonymous)]

I broke my ankle on Sunday. Bad. My foot was kind of dangling off the end of my leg. (It was very wet out, I was walking in the woods and slipped on a slick tree root. NOT the kind of tracks in space I was hoping to leave!)

I figure setting bone fractures is still something modern medicine is good for, so I had my friend take me to the ER. They didn’t seem that busy, probably because it was around noon on Sunday, but they still managed to leave me alone in a room for over half an hour at a time. Some of my friends say this is because they get paid for every hour one of their beds are occupied, and if no one else needs it, why get me in and out in an hour or two when they can keep me for three? Cynical, I know.

The worst part was, they kept talking about wheeling me in for surgery right away, even though the pain wasn’t too bad (I still haven’t taken any pain medication). So, the worst part was I was terribly thirsty, but they wouldn’t give me any water! Now, I’m not a medical doctor, but I find it hard to believe a few ounces of water wouldn’t be absorbed toot sweet if I’m dehydrated. Anyway, I was able to convince them that a slower, more thoughtful approach to surgery would be okay and after about two hours they did finally give me some water.

They took x-rays and my tibia is broken at the bottom and I have a spiral fracture of the fibula as well (hence the dangling). They put me in some kind of splint, gave me some crutches, and sent me home. They said the Orthopedic Surgeon would call me the next day to schedule the procedure.

When 3 O’clock the next day rolled around and I still hadn’t heard anything, I called the hospital and eventually tracked down Dr. Kim (not his first name). They asked if I was returning their call, we left a message for you an hour ago! I don’t know what number they called, but I never got the message. They said if you can get here by 4:30 you can see Dr. Kim.

I got there about 3:45 and around 4:30 Dr. Kim came in. Maybe it’s just because it was the end of the day, but Dr. Kim’s bedside manner leaves a lot to be desired. He said my ankle was totally shot and without surgery I would not be able to walk normally again and would probably keep breaking it, gave me an appointment for Wednesday, and disappeared. No discussion of what he planned to do, or comforting words like, “Hey, don’t worry. I’ve done hundreds of these. You’re going to be fine!” Nothing.

I asked the nurse to bring him back. “Why?”. Why? Because last night trying to get to the bathroom on my new crutches I fell and I’m pretty sure I broke my finger and I wanted the doctor to look at it. He came in, looked at it for about 5 seconds, gave it a squeeze or two and said, “Eh. It will be okay.” Even though it’s really swollen and kind of purple. I guess that’s okay, I can’t imagine trying to crutch around with a splint or cast on my right hand.

I really wanted to ask him about calcium. My dad is a doctor, and he said even at my tender age of 54 I might consider getting more calcium in my diet to improve bone strength (apparently this is a thing that old people do). I really wanted to ask the doc what he thought of that, but he was already gone. I really, really hope he’s an excellent surgeon who just has no people skills. I guess I’m about to find out.

I got my pre-op call just now where they ask you a bunch of questions. One was, “In the event of a life or death emergency, would you be willing to accept blood from a donor?” I said, “Yes, but not from a person who has had the Covid vaccine.” She didn’t know what to say to that other than “oh we get our blood from the Red Cross…um…er…you will be asked this question again tomorrow”.

After all I’ve been learning recently about the modern medical industry, I’m more than a little nervous about letting them have their way with me, but it doesn’t seem I have much choice.

I’ve been getting more spiritual as I’ve been reading JMG, but I don’t have a personal relationship to a specific deity yet. Any suggestions? Seems like a dick move to wait until you need help to try make friends, but maybe they are used to it? Any advice is welcome.

And if anyone would like to pray for me, your prayers are most welcome.

If they don’t kill me tomorrow, I’ll report back in a few days.

-Slink

PS. While I was writing this, my best friend (who will take me in tomorrow) came over and reminded me that he is a universal donor and unvaccinated, so he may donate a pint just for me (if I turn out to need it) before he leaves the hospital. So, that’s good!

Re: Well, Here I go

I've found that praying, simply, to be healed and not harmed, is good. An easy mantra.

What's 'funny' is I keep getting the message to take really good care of my ankles, as in with what reverence and care I clean them with in the shower.

Good luck and more walking to you.

The elementary school in my town just closed down early for winter break, on account of too many kids being sick. Reportedly there's lots of kids sick in the high school, too, but they're hanging on.

This is a deep red area, lots of vaccine refusers, and we're still getting walloped with sickness.

I'm also in a red area with lots of refuseniks and can confirm there is a lot of crud (and covid) whalloping my family, community, and coworkers, many of whom I know have not had the vaxx. The people I know who have gotten the vaxx are getting hammered too though.

Are we seeing a doubling down?

Hi everyone,

Read today there was success with mrna vaccine against melanoma reoccurence. What's the story behind the story?? Is this research to be believed? Is it the medical industry/pharma making a hard sell because of previous investment in technology and predicted profits? Or is this a cover over what's already occurred? Basically saying mrnas vaccines are safe.
Thanks

Re: Are we seeing a doubling down?

[(Anonymous)]

One thing which has caused a lot of problems with mRNA tech, and indeed all genetic tech, is that tolerably often it looks great at first, but the longer term effects are brutal. The companies now have these products in development, and they want to market them before they finish the long term trials, and the regulators cannot really ask for long term safety data, not after telling everyone that it's not needed for another product of the same sort.

NSW figures

[revert2mean]

Anybody else following Rebekah Barnett? Lucky for us in oz, New South Wales seem to report weekly, somewhat accurate, figures of hospitalisations and deaths by vax status. Week after week, 0 unvaccinated people end up in hospital or die of covid. Hardly a picture of a dangerous virus relentlessly seeking out the foolish, unprotected members of the community, is it? And yet, week after week, our health authorities argue that vaxxes "offer the best protection against severe illness and death". They are now arguing that vax rates are so high, a lot of people hospitalised and dying are 2- and 3-times jabbed, but that's just an artefact of the high proportion in the population who have that status. And un-jabbed are "over-represented" in the figures at zero!

It's summer here. I don't want to think about next winter yet.

Young woman dead of a brain aneurism

My daughter phoned last night, quite upset because a colleague at the preschool she works at died. The girl was an infant teacher and still in her 20's. She was married and had a couple of little kids.

I am nearly 60 years old and in my life, I have never heard of a young, previously healthy girl in her 20's dying of a brain aneurism. Climate change? The girl in question died in Victoria British Columbia.

Re: Young woman dead of a brain aneurism

[(Anonymous)]

Well, I know. what you're thinking, and you're probably right, but I had a best friend die of a brain aneurism at 40. Very healthy guy. I think he was born with some sort of tangle in his brain that didn't manifest until his mid-30's. He had gone in for brain surgery. They didn't want to take that much out at once so they took about half. He was supposed to go back in 6 months or so for the other half but before that happened he just fell over dead. Very sad.

I'm not saying the teacher was born with it, I'm just saying it does happen.

Boom! Dr. Ted Noel Demonstrates That Aerosol Will Not Be Stopped by Man

Mask Demo (Quick and Dirty Version)
Doctor Ted with Careful Consideration for Our Common Concerns
https://rumble.com/v14uuti-mask-demo-quick-and-dirty-version.html
Published May 15, 2022

TRANSCRIPT - EXCERPT

1:10
DR. TED NOEL [wearing a blue surgical mask]: So without further ado let's cut to the chase and take a look at an ordinary surgical mask. And I'm using a vape. [exhales, clouds of white smoke come out of the sides of the mask] As you can see, that vape which has aerosols the same size as covid-19 or larger [exhales, clouds of white smoke come out of the sides of the mask] goes through and around a surgical mask.

[cut]
[wearing a cup mask] Now if we take a cup mask and have a good look at it, here we go. [exhales, clouds of white smoke come out of the sides of the mask] Notice it goes right through the mask easily and goes in every direction. The aerosol is not affected by the mask in any material form.

[cut]
Now we look at surgical mask with a foam strip to protect above and keep my glasses from fogging. [now wearing the surgical mask with foam strip] [exhales, clouds of white smoke come out of the sides of the mask] Lo and behold, the aerosols go all around it. It has no effect on me spreading aerosols to you.

[cut]
[in a blue cloth mask] Now a cloth mask I borrowed from my wife. Once again, here we go, boom! Straight through and around. [exhales, clouds of white smoke come out of the sides of the mask] It has no effect on the spread of aerosols. They go everywhere.

[cut]
[shows package containing Guard mask] And then I went and bought a Guard mask with a high efficiency filter material. That one? Here we go, watch for it. [now wearing in mask] Through and around. [exhales, clouds of white smoke come out of the sides of the mask] It had no effect on the vape aerosol which, remember, is the same size or larger.

[cut]
Now I don't have an N95 mask, I have these shop respirators where they could put all kinds of things in them [pointing to filters] but they're like an N95 because when you breathe out everything goes out through a valve. [puts on mask] [exhales, clouds of white smoke come out of the sides of the mask] Guess what? It might protect me from you, it sure isn't going to protect you from me. Let's look at that again. Boom! [puts on mask] [exhales, clouds of white smoke come out of the sides of the mask] Any mask with a button on it has a valve that lets everything go from you to your neighbor. It has no effect on anything.

[cut]
I think you can get the picture now. There is absolutely nothing that any of these masks do to protect you from me. And the fact is that unless I have a mask which is fully sealed and where I breathe through the filter material both directions, and I have a really high quality filter, nothing is going to protect in either direction. Because just the same way that the vape went out, around, and through, it will come in, around and through. Aerosols will not be stopped by man.

You don't need a big study. All you need is this [holds up vape] because the aerosol here is actually larger in molecular size than the aerosol from your breath. And because your breath has a smaller tighter aerosol, just because it can't be seen ordinarily, that aerosol will go everywhere. It gets through easier, it gets around easier.

Masks. Guard masks. Cloth masks. What are they good for? Oh, here's what they're good for. If I'm going to cough, they make it so I don't have to do this [coughs into a stack of what appears to be Kleenex] and catch the aerosol. Or here [indicates behind his shoulder]. Or pull out a handkerchief and do it.

They don't work.

Remember, I am a doctor. I do not play one on TV.

Last week there was a bit of traction on a question I posed related to eczema, where many helpful people offered their "not a doctor" approaches to that particular problem.

I am wondering if people, in the interest of better crowd sourcing would share resources or their own anecdotes approaches to common or obscure medical problems. Many posts as of late have included people sharing their issues and their reluctance to go to a regular doctor, but the internet is like a firehose of information which is easily overwhelming and often conflicting.

I'll start with some I've found which at the very least explain some areas and alternatives:
- https://ssristories.org/ for an explanation of how SSRIs may affect people and resources for weaning off them
- https://rxisk.org/ The drug search field does not seem to be working, but there are plenty of articles and posts that might be helpful to people struggling with certain treatments
- https://www.acne.org/ patient reported experience with acne medications
- https://covid19criticalcare.com/ FLCCC protocols

Hopefully the helpful people here are aware of others for common conditions or have accessible book recommendations to help filter through the noise.

Perhaps if interested, one could comment with the condition and where they might point someone suffering from it without fearing the backlash or biting our tongues so frequently described.

[revert2mean]

Oh, I'm really good at this game. Let's start with heart disease. Disabling, right. Major cause of death. You need a bypass and stents and on and on, and then you die anyway. Well, before he died, Linus Pauling PATENTED high-dose vitamin C as a treatment for heart disease. He had nothing to gain by bothering to do that, he was just making sure the information couldn't be bought and would always be in the public domain. And he really did mean high dose. Say 5-10g per day, every day. It even works if you're actually already having a heart attack. (Or so a friend told me.)

Evidence Mounts on the Clot Shots

[(Anonymous)]

For those who ‘do’ video and would like to know more about the mechanisms that create the clots caused by ‘you know what’, Chris Martensen of Peak Prosperity posted something rather startling a few days ago:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KH6VTu8qb3w

I won’t do a transcription, but let’s say that Chris believes the numerous reports of ‘worm-like’ clots being taken from cadavers by embalmers, explains what they consist of, and how they are produced. Looks like folks like John O’Looney weren’t trying to pull a ‘fast one’ on us.

This is truly the stuff of nightmares. I suspect that once videos like these end up being viewed en masse – despite all the MSM’s efforts to deny/discredit them – the fear factor will ramp up to ‘11’ and any demons who are behind the phenomenon will blissfully gorge themselves. However, I also wonder whether a host of other demons – primarily those associated with social chaos – may also be let loose in the process. If the general public lose faith in the government regulated (and in Canada, funded) ‘health system’, I cannot imagine that the public will just shrug their shoulders and go back to their bread and circuses as if nothing ever happened…

Honk honk!

Pathologist Dr. Ryan Cole on What's in the Strange Fibrous Clots

"Foot-Long Blood Clots" From mRNA, Says Pathologist Dr. Ryan Cole w/ Dr Kelly Victory – Ask Dr. Drew
December 1, 2022
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SLp6B_kkRI

TRANSCRIPT - BRIEF EXCERPT

41:18
DR. RYAN COLE: These thick fibrous clots are in vivo as well. These are in living patients. The interesting tube of blood on the right, this a patient from my colleague Dr. Burkhardt* in Germany and she had three shots. Whenever it would get cold her fingers would start to hurt, kind of a Raynaud's phenomenon.** They took a tube of blood, set it on the counter, and little fibrils started to form. They spun it down and the material within the spun-down big nugget there [refers to image on screen] is the same as what we're seeing in the clots.

So we'll go a slide forward [shows slide]. And this is what it looks like. It looks like just this pink amorphous material. Well that's fibrin,*** it's reticulin,**** it's a bunch of amino acids, but more importantly, there's a material that the body doesn't break down very easily called amyloid. And you may hear about amyloid in Alzheimer's Disease and plaques in the neurons in the brain, that's what we call a beta pleated sheet amyloid.

There are different types of amyloid. But the problem is the body doesn't easily break down amyloid. Our body can break down fibrin and clots and you'll form a clot after scraping your arm or knee or whatever and eventually your body remodels that area. And because we have the enzymes that say, hey, you know, there's there's a clot, it's in the way, let's remold it, put some new vessels in, you know, all done, good to go. However, this type of proteinaceous material doesn't get broken down easily by the body.

I don't want to scare everybody and say, gosh, everybody that has, you know, the shot is going to have this. No. No, the good news is, most people are fine.

However, from a scientific point of view, you can't find what you don't look for. So early on the agencies and Fauci encouraged people not to do autopsies. So you're not going to find if you're not looking. The morticians that started seeing these, they were getting—when a body comes in and they have to preserve it, they cannulate large vessels, they put their needles in large vessels. They started getting back pressure that they hadn't experienced before. And there are one or two that have spoken out, but I know of about another 50 that are seeing the same, but again, want to keep their jobs, so they don't say anything. But when we look at these clots under the microscope this is what we see.

BENNY THE FRESHMAN ATHLETE:
"It was like he was an 80 year-old man."

TRANSCRIPT

SUZANNA NEWELL*: I have two stories to share from two people who can't be here for multiple reasons. I'll try and make them quick, I know we're behind schedule here, but their experiences are real and very, very important.

I'm speaking on behalf of Jennifer, a 43 year-old from Golden Valley. These are her words written in her experience.

[JENNIFER'S STORY]

"When the covid vaccine came out I was eager to be first in line because of my private massage therapy business was shut down numerous times by the government and I work with high risk clients. After receiving my first Moderna dose on February 27th, I had immediate reactions two minutes after the injection. I was treated with Benadryl and Naproxen. I was told it was anxiety, to call 911 if anything pops up. I took a nap when I got home. Then I woke up with numbness from my elbows to my fingertips and knees to my toes. I couldn't sit up or move because I felt like an elephant was sitting on me."

These are her pictures actually. From before and after pictures.

"Over the next week I experienced anaphylactic shock. I went to the ER two times. My pulse and blood pressure were sky high. I had four EKGs, one heart ultrasound, a heart CT scan, coagulated blood, and an ultrasound for the blood clot in my leg, crushing heart pain, and extreme sweating. I felt like my body was racing down the freeway and I had muscle spasms and a buzzing feeling throughout my entire body. I was covered in hives. Every night I was afraid I was going to die in my sleep."

Actually, as an aside, I've had those nights as well and I think everybody's shaking their head. We all have.

"I was unable to care for myself or my son. I had to send my son away to another family. I recorded my last wishes for the care of my son in the event of my death. He thought his mom was dying and he would need to adjust to his new family.

"One year later, I'm still working on recovery and both my son and I are trying to recover from the trauma of the experience."


[BENNY'S STORY]

I have one last story, regarding a 20 year-old. Who, this is written by his mom. I have one picture of him. is name is Benny. His mom's name is Donna.

"In August Benny was getting ready to start his freshman at the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire. He was on the men's track team and the coach encouraged the athletes to get vaccinated to avoid mandatory testing three times a week. So on August 13th 2021 Benny rolled up his sleeve and received his first dose of Moderna.

"He came home on September 11th to celebrate his 19th birthday and received his second dose. Nine hours later his friends brought him home because he could not drive. His body was in shock. He was having difficulty breathing, chest pain, trembling, his hands and feet were turning blue. We rushed him to the ER where he had an EKG and was given antihistamine and sent home.

"He returned to Eau Claire and felt worse as the week went on. The campus doctor ordered tons of tests. All were normal except for the d-dimer. On September 21st he experienced a non-epileptic seizure and his friends rushed him to the ER yet again. More tests, no answers.

"On November 7th in the school dining hall he was experienced his worst seizure. He was incoherent, couldn't walk or use the phone. His friends rushed him to the ER yet again.

"This episode was very difficult to recover from and left him stranded in his dorm for nearly a week. He was weak, dizzy, had a headache, chest pain, and could not walk without help. He had lost 16 pounds.

"Through his faith in God he persevered and was able to complete the fall semester, but his dreams of competing with the men's track team were demolished.

"He had been a three sport athlete since first grade. And not being active was crippling. He was often left out of social activities and gatherings due to his new disability of not being able to get around campus. He had suddenly aged 60 years. It was like he was an 80 year-old man.

"Before all of this he was healthy. We never incurred medical expenses before. An entire semester's worth tuition, room and board on medical expenses.

"Thank you for listening to Benny's story. I truly hope legislators will be leaders of empathy and compassion and acknowledge the vaccine can harm a person's immune system, circulatory system, nervous system, and surrounding tissues, causing lasting adverse effects of which drastically change a person's life, a young 20 year-old in this case. It saddens me to think how much my son lost of his freshman year of college because we blindly trusted authoritarian administration and a government who has shown no empathy."

Besides those standing here today [laughs]. And some others who couldn't be here. But we need more, we need from the other side of the house as well. We need our government now to help us. All of us. Thank you.

Donor Organs

[(Anonymous)]

My friend is not doing well. He is a Navy SEAL who got shot to pieces in the "sandbox", has died 3 times, is missing a few feet of one of his intestines, and has at least two organs that he wasn't born with. His donor kidney is on the fritz. Now that he has turned 50, he drops down the list for donor organs that might be available. And worse, his pancreas won't tolerate a different kidney, so he will need a pancreas and a kidney during that surgery.

The bad news is that his doctor says the cooties fox (and apparently ALL previous foxes) don't play nice with organs, and anyone with a transplanted organ should not take them. This is one of the reasons he remains unfoxed (but not the only reason). Funny, I don't remember any mention of that when they were doing their big fox rollout. It also means that any organ that might be available for transplant needs to be unfoxed. The chances of getting a donor kidney, and a donor pancreas, and both unfoxed, seems astronomically low. Let's hope his keeps working.

Long and short of it is, there's a major problem brewing in the organ donor world. I was not aware of this before, but now I will be paying more attention. Let me know if you hear any news about this. Especially good news (if there is any). Thanks,

-Slink

Ouch. That is a bad situation to be in.

You already asked for prayers about your ankle, and you know how incredibly prayer-happy people are around here, so…

Would your friend by any chance be open to being prayed for, and/or being sent blessings? I certainly wouldn’t mind sending him what I can. Or rather: Would you, by any chance, be open to asking him? ;-)

(I hope, JMG, you wouldn‘t mind, even if this prayer request would lead slightly off topic.)

On top of Billy's latest 'Catastrophic Contagion' planning exercise for the mass deaths of kids and young people, well. . .

I can't help feeling like I've darkened the mood a bit here, so how about a nice track to lighten things back up a bit? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8KIdzgV83Y

Zakk might be onto something :P

I read that, too. But if I remember right, the „planning exercise“ that happened right before covid also predicted nightmare death rates etc etc. So my current working assumption on this is that, yawn, yeah, some kids might get the sniffles this winter. Sorry, Bill, my crystal ball is working just as well as yours! ;-)

Seriously, though: I never imagined that „not falling into despair“ could be such hard work. But rewarding, ain‘t it? :-)

I’m basically vaccine-agnostic on this topic and not sure how much I have to contribute here, but thought I could contribute a few of my family’s experiences for data points if anyone finds them useful:

1. I (36) and my wife (42) got the Pfizer vaccine in August of last year, having possibly* never caught Covid up to that point. These are the only vaccinations for it we have gotten so far. Come January of this year, she was diagnosed a relatively bad case of Covid not long after suffering a miscarriage. We think one may have led to the other, but don’t have any way of knowing for sure. (She has a very long history of reproductive issues, so it may have just been coincidence.)

2. In June of this year, both of us along with our son (3) got fairly mild (but still miserable) Covid infections around the same time, which lasted about a week, except for my wife’s which lasted a few days longer. None of seem to have caught it again since that time.

*: I say “possibly” because back in February 2020, before the average citizen knew what a coronavirus was, all three of us had a rather nasty case of the flu, which we now think may have been Covid before it had been publicly identified as such.

Again, I don’t know how useful any of this info will be to anyone, but thought it might be worth contributing just in case.

Thank you Grandswamperman!

I hope you continue to hang around, and contribute, because lots of different kinds of voices keep this from turning into an echo chamber! :)

Blessings upon you and your family!

Finally got covid, or at least I'm guessing that's what it was because I couldn't smell and intense body soreness. Bummed to lose my perfect unjabbed no-virus winning streak but some sneezing New Yorkers showed up at work and I had to pull an all nighter and that was enough to let some germs crash the party. Fortunately this time I had some hcq and ivermectin on hand as well as cell salts/nasal rinses and caught it before it went all the way down to my lungs. Now I'm still feeling pretty weak but at least my antibodies are top notch.

Get your sleep people! Now's not the time to ease up on that immune system support program.

This is reason #498 why I don't go on Twitter. It is not only intentionally addictive, but it gives the **illusion** that you're getting "news," or at least a glimpse of the Zeitgeist, but so much of it is actually just algo'ed.

Medical Industry Collapse

[deng]

I've posted before that the community hospital I work at is using Nurse Practitioners, Physicians Assistants, and 2nd and 3rd world African and Asian physicians as hospitalist and specialist providing patient care. Some have accents so thick that the hard of hearing elderly patients can't understand what they are saying through the useless mask.

Not just staff are leaving. We recently lost a couple of unit directors. One worked there since high school, through college, and much of his adult life. Resigned on a Friday with no notice.

We have a handful of patients with no insurance and no where to go who are stuck and literaly live there.

Psych patients, some who don't speak a word of english, can spend many days to a couple of weeks in the emergency room waiting for a psych bed. 1 is there 12 days today.

When I started in healthcare we got an employee discount at the decent hospital cafeteria. The discount is long gone. Then the menu became whatever was being served for patient lunch. Then the hours cut back. Not long ago the caf closed on weekends. A few weeks ago the hospital sent me a couple of gift certificates for my birthday, a week later they closed the cafetaria until further notice for lack of staff.

We are borrowing supplies from a sister hospital because the parent company isn't paying the vendors who are witholding shipments. There are national shortages of a number of drugs including albuterol for asthmatic children.

This definately isn't progress. Although we certainly are progressing towards something...

To Resist or Not to Resist

[(Anonymous)]

I've been stuck on this thought for some time. It involves being unsure of which of two courses of action to take.

"First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out..."
(Remainder of text here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_they_came_...

And on the other hand,
"Evil is self-destroyed". Meeting a force with an opposite, resisting force locks the evil into place. Undo evil by creating a vacuum around it and letting it destroy itself.

Which is the better course of action/inaction here? I sure as heck don't think the totalitarian impulse has yet run its course, whatever may or may not be going on medically in our world. Mattias Desmet says that the totalitarians win shortly after the resistance decides to go underground and stop speaking out publicly.

Which course of action do you plan to take? Stand up or hunker down? I genuinely don't know.

Bingo. This dichotomy is one of the primary questions. Will be watching this thread closely.

My head just exploded!

[(Anonymous)]

Just today I thought to myself, “something’s off – I have not come across any new hostilities against unfoxed Canadians lately”. Well, the ‘drought of persecution’ is over. My head practically exploded this evening while driving in my neighbourhood, as Global News announced the latest study by some medical researcher at Toronto’s prestigious Sunnybrook Hospital. This doctor made the astounding discovery that unfoxed people are more dangerous drivers than the foxed! To wit, unfoxed persons are 74% more likely to be involved in a traffic accident, each year, than the foxed. As to why this could be, the medical genius surmised that people who refuse to comply with medical diktats may be more prone to disregard the rules of the road, etc. Somehow, he forgot to mention that they are also more prone to racism, misogyny, gun ownership and membership of violent extremist far-right political groups (I’m sure he’ll add these at some point). At this point, I asked myself, “so what?” And then came the punchline: Doctor Genius just ‘put it out there’ that since the foxed are inherently superior drivers maybe insurance companies should give them a 5% discount. Well, it’s a start; maybe a year after implementing the 5% discount, the insurance companies will outright cancel vehicle insurance for the unfoxed. That’ll learn ‘em! We’ll see what happens…

Speaking of brilliant ground-breaking Canadian medical research, just yesterday I came across the following video by TheTrueFactsC19: https://rumble.com/v1z32bc-what-that-means-is-s1-ep-9-rigorous-process-strong-monitoring.html
In brief, the video goes through Health Canada’s public statement of December 9, 2020, stating that “Health Canada received Pfizer’s submission on October 9, 2020, and after a thorough, independent review of the evidence, Health Canada has determined that…” [you can guess the rest] So, what about this “thorough, independent review”? Well, it’s ‘gold standard’, don’t you know! Just take a look at the analysis of 42,086 cases (with a few explanatory notes by yours truly):

Gender: Female – 29,914; Male – 9,182; NO DATA – 2,990. Hey, these days it’s hard to tell: no problem!

Age Range: under 17 – 175; 18-30 – 4,953; 31-50 – 13,886; 51-64 – 7,884; 65-74 – 3 ,98; over 75 – 5,214; UNKNOWN – 6,876. It’s rude to ask people their age, so, again, no problem!

Case outcome: Recovered/Recovering – 19,582; Recovered with sequelae – 520; Not recovered at time of the report – 11,361; Fatal – 1,223; UNKNOWN – 9,400. Hey, all this counting and number-crunching is a real drag and besides, the dog peed on a whole pile of data printouts, so just lay off, OK?

So, scientifically, everything’s just tickety-poo! If it’s good enough for Health Canada, it is certainly good enough for me! I’m sure that the New England Journal of Medicine would be pleased to publish such impressively rigorous research! (I’m just being a tad sarcastic)

I hope no body else’s head will explode after reading about these latest scientific travesties.

Freedom! Liberté!

You may be interested in Igor Chudov's analysis of the traffic accident paper:

https://igorchudov.substack.com/p/the-unvaccinated-had-more-car-crashes

Igor concludes: '... that “unvaccinated people are more likely to be hurt in crashes” is explained by the fact that “essential workers” who drive to work were the ones choosing not to get vaccinated!'

Advice on affirming one's opinion and self

[(Anonymous)]

I know all or most of us have had to face times where we had to go against the advice of our peers and act in accord with what we knew about the vaxes. Last year, I took a few days off work as being sick. I later realized I was suffering the worst self-induced anxiety attack I had ever given myself, because I was so terribly afraid of losing the approval of my peers if I didn't take the fake vaxes. It was - amazingly - my mom, who got vaxxed and boosted but now vows to take no more, who made the point, "nobody is forcing you right now to take the danged vax, so why are you burying yourself in distress?"

That situation also revealed one of my worst character flaws - a deep desire for approval from my peers, which is a desire I entrenched in myself over my childhood (and I know was also partly just me being deadly afraid of falling outside the 'favored' social class of 'non-deplorables.'). That flaw expressed itself again recently. I attended a discussion where the topic was the pandemic and what each person thought of it - did it still exist for them? Were they still concerned about Covid? I attended it hoping to offer my unique perspective, as everyone else is supposed to offer - it was a discussion meant to bridge political divides. I ended up being the only person below 40 years of age in the group, the only unvaxxed person, and the only person who wasn't still somehow concerned about Covid or considering the pandemic not over yet for themselves. I did bring up how Pfizer lied about the vaccines reducing infection, and brought up that the vaxxes were not tested for any appreciable amount of time before we forced them into people's arms... but I didn't make the sort of impact I could have that could challenge people in the room to reconsider masking up ever more and taking a 5th booster (which several admitted to), because I was too meek and afraid of stirring up conflict.

I need to do better for other people, especially for those of my friends, coworkers, family, etc. who are still stuck in the "another booster protects against Covid" zombie mindset that will have unpredictable effects on their health. (So far, I can't report on any observable potential vax side-effects in my social group - which I'm grateful for.) I know the ability to affirm oneself and state one's opinion clearly, and to not give a crap about others' approval, is often an inbuilt quality in a person. But there's steps one can take to mitigate this behavior, and I would sincerely appreciate others' recommendations for how to have more courage to speak my mind and stop caring if others don't like what I have to say or who I am. I need to be better at this, *especially* in a collapsing society like the one we have. Are there practical steps I can take towards this?

(One practical example I thought of was to focus vividly on remembering the friends and family I have, and know I don't need some random stranger's approval to know I'm a good person. Practice this with every person I interact with, until it's a habit to remember this with any stranger I meet. Consider it a conscious willing activity like the ones JMG discusses on this blog.)

It might help you to count how many times you used the word "need" in this post and see what other word you could substitute and how it feels to you when you do so.
