Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 74

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.
Human Garbage
(Anonymous) 2023-01-03 08:50 pm (UTC)(link)I don't think anyone who asks or asked that question wishes the player ill will. Oh well, I guess as human garbage (and I didn't know I was until someone else who'd dared to think a thought was labeled as such) I need to be ready for getting fire hosed as a lunatic fringe conspiracy theorist anytime I dare open my mouth, or keyboard.
A guy from Cincinnati.
I'll throw in a half-hearted "who dey" for all you football fans!
Here is an example:

So, on the one hand you have this ultra-rare type of injury that’s never happened before in 100 years of NFL play, which doesn’t fit well with the facts, and requires special pleading to explain inconvenient facts like how Hamlin stood up after the hit, was hard to revive, why he re-coded at the hospital, why he was unable to breathe on his own, or how his chest pads didn’t sufficiently diffuse any trauma ruling out the type of focused strike needed to stop his heart.
On the other hand, you have the MOST COMMON jab injury in the MOST COMMON age cohort in a fully and recently-jabbed individual. At this point, any doctor who prefers commotio cordis to an adrenaline-triggered jab injury is a doctor that can’t do math and has no business diagnosing anybody.

Re: Human Garbage
(Anonymous) 2023-01-04 01:08 am (UTC)(link)Just to play with that idea:
If we discover a cause that is unacceptable for the young man's injury than we risk accessing anger.
That would be a big no-no in threatening the narrative.
Best to stick with 'it brought us all together' or some such fuzzy, warm platitude.

Re: Human Garbage
(Anonymous) 2023-01-04 05:35 am (UTC)(link)I'm guessing at what it means and I don't want to appear heartless but things like feeling warm inside by donating to the injured football player's 'toy drive' (which of course is a good thing) or putting stuffed animals with flowers next to a fence. Sort of a 'feel good' positivity in opposition to 'negativity' i.e. critical inquiry.
Because the critical inquiry might lead someplace you don't want it to go. You might find anger. Better to be an ostrich and deny the vaxx is involved at all because what that might mean *I Am Enraged At What They Did To Him, To Me.* Keep the anger buried under warm, fuzzy, feelings... 'We Are the World, etc..We are the ones who make a brighter day, you and me...etc....' On Twitter accounts belonging to famous athletes who called for prayer I saw comments saying 'This brought us (America) together.' That seems a sentimental warm fuzzy feeling. And actually rather a surface, transient emotion.
I'm not sure how it would relate to other scenarios. I got the 'warm, fuzzy feeling' phrase from a weekend retreat sponsored by a Christian group for marriage renewal. The facilitator kept talking about 'warm, fuzzy feelings.' I didn't want warm, fuzzy feelings, I was young and I wanted consuming passion and fire which I knew, sadly, I'd never have in that relationship.
Re: Human Garbage
I'm not convinced it's entirely a bad thing, if that is the case.

what a beauty of an image.
