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.

NHS collapsing
Date: 2022-12-13 07:01 pm (UTC)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
Date: 2022-12-13 07:10 pm (UTC)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
Date: 2022-12-13 08:10 pm (UTC)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.

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!

Date: 2022-12-13 08:19 pm (UTC)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

Date: 2022-12-13 08:41 pm (UTC)The actual pandemic was quiet. Despite being told we would be working full time in the ER and hauling bodies I didn’t go to a single COVID call. When the jabs rolled out however, that is when I saw a marked uptick.

That's great that your friend can donate blood for you. I really doubt you'll need it, though.
Your doctor's bedside manner sounds pretty much par for the course, I am sorry to say. They have strong incentive to minimize interaction with patients. I speak as one who has had several operations myself and also taken my elderly parents to many appointments. The US medical system is what it is, alas.
May you be out hiking again fast!!!!!

TRANSCRIPT - EXCERPT

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.
