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.
Transplants and What do they do with the Organs?
Date: 2023-01-04 04:57 pm (UTC)In 1999 I drove a limousine in Florida. I regularly drove to private airports in the middle of the night to pick up Transplant Team Doctors who were either delivering organs, or coming to a hospital to remove or "harvest" them.
When they were finished harvesting they would put, at least some of them, like maybe a liver or kidney, in a regular cooler, you or I might buy, I would drive them to the waiting jet, and they would fly to another city, where there was a person waiting to receive.
They were supposed to be or claimed to be a "non profit" organization.
At first I thought it was all very noble but then for some reason, perhaps I asked if they just donate or give the parts to the recipients? and they said , "Oh, no." And they then began itemizing how much each of the parts were worth (as if it was almost amusing). At that time (according to those doctors) the parts in a human body were worth approximately 1 million dollars. And they seemed to use everything, including lungs, skin and bone.
I began to get a distaste for this.
Later on another flight different doctors (same organization) began to pester me that I should be driving for free, since their mission was non-profit.
I was angry and asked, "Why, you're getting paid aren't you? You're not just doing this for free, are you?
They admitted they were getting paid.
"And you sell all the parts of the body don't you? Isn't each body worth about a million dollars to you?"
Well, I was never sent to pick up transplant doctors again. The whole business had become very dubious to me. I understand the desire to save lives but I personally know several people who were eager to have transplants, went through all sorts of horror to get them, and then the transplant only lasted 2-5 years tops, with all sorts of hospital visits and procedures in between, all costing much money. And when they were offered another transplant, they said, "No, never again."
Hopefully the situation has improved since then and transplants are lasting longer. I've heard of some lasting twenty years and that seems amazing and entirely worth it. But then I wonder, how many are like this? I really hope my lingering concerns are ill founded.
