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 uselessness 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.
Re: Ecosophia Prayer List Update
Date: 2023-01-10 08:09 pm (UTC)I will add you to the list with the phrasing you just asked for, but may I ask: would you prefer for us to just pray directly for you to successfully breastfeed your daughter? Or even the higher level issue, for your daughter's good health and development?
My closest childhood friend told me a story. When her daughter was born, she just would not drink. Just refused. And there had been complications and the baby's health was endangered, and it just seemed to her so terribly important to get her daughter drinking. Finally, after many tears and prayers, she just sat down with her baby, and just told her: it is so important for you to drink. Please, please, just drink. And amazingly, the baby did. The prayer to get her daughter drinking was answered!
And then, after that one time, she never drank again!
Luckily, she turned out fine in the end. But it was bottles from then on out. Completely healthy girl, off in college now. I'm not sure whether there are any lessons for you to draw out there-- maybe, at least, that babies somehow seem to be understand us even when they are newborn. Which I'm sure you already knew. I guess one other lesson to draw out is that it seems sometimes not drinking is a choice the baby makes, rather than some shortcoming of the mother. And even though, of course you and I understand the benefits of breastfeeding, if your daughter just doesn't agree... it will still almost certainly be okay in the end.

Date: 2023-01-12 05:43 pm (UTC)I will readily agree that nature’s way is usually best, but as you said a fed baby is the most important thing.
I won’t thrown any rocks at people who do what they have to do. We were there. All of us made it through.
