Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 71

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) 2022-12-14 07:17 pm (UTC)(link)Yes, now, almost two years in, here in CA they are pushing people with positive COVID tests to come in and get treatment - Paxlovid or Remdesivir. When prior, it was go home and die.
Can't have a treatment unless it is raking in the $$$ can we? I mean people aren't wanting the vaxxes anymore so we gotta make money on Paxlovid and Remdesivir.
Sorry. I won't be getting the vax or either of these treatments. I'm starting to get to the place where any pharmaceutical that hasn't been around long enough to be a generic commodity is suspect, especially if it is being pushed on me.

Alas, when I finally managed to contact him last year for help in getting a medical exemption, [he had retired] he revealed the limits to his critical thinking:
I endorse Covid vaccines, so I'm probably not the best person to speak with.

On longer term people will doubt vaccines from now on, I know I do
