Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 75
Jan. 10th, 2023 01:34 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)

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.
Shelly: "I want you to look at this face, and I want you to remember my story"

TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE: In a previous video, paired with this one, Shelly explains that after her second covid jab she suffered from heart palpitations, severe chest pain, pericarditis, and deep vein thrombosis.
TRANSCRIPT:
SHELLY: They sent me home with blood thinners. And then on Friday I still hadn't had word on the CT scan so I called [inaudible] Imaging and they told me to call my insurance agency or company, Premier. So I called them and Premier said, you need to go to the hospital right away. And I said, Why do I need to go to the hospital? You need a CT scan right away, we need you to go to the hospital. So I drove myself to the hospital. I get there and sure enough they do a CT scan and I had suffered a pulmonary embolism. And for any of you that don't know what it is, the blood clot in my leg then broke off, traveled up the vein through my tummy, through my heart, and into my lung. People can die from it. I was very, very fortunate that I didn't.
The next morning, they sent me, you know [holds up bottle of pills] I had the blood thinners, the next morning I woke up in severe pain and so I called paramedics and they took me back to the hospital. And I had suffered a second embolism on the way to the hospital.
So my story isn't to talk you out of getting the vaccine. I am pro-vaccine. I vaccinated my children. I got this fu*king vaccine. So it's not to tell you not to get the vaccine. But it is to tell you there are side effects and for some, some they go about with no side effects at all. But I want to tell you that I'm with you on those of you that want to wait, that you want to see how this pans out, on those of you that think this is an overreach from our government, on those of you who just plain are worried about it and want to give this some time. I am so with you. I will stand with you on that hill.
And for the rest of you, the ones, you know, the Jimmy Kimmels and those of you that are shaming the anti-vaxxers and wishing death or harm on them, I want you to look at this face, and I want you to remember my story. Because my life hasn't been the same since I had this vaccine. And it's not for everybody. Not everybody. My body, my choice, right? What I wouldn't do to exchange this bag, this basket [holds up and shakes basket full to the brim with medicines] of sh*t for my health back.
So I want you to think about those people. Think about other people's stories. Walk in their shoes. Give people grace, give people love. We need to meet in the middle here, we need to realize that each one of us comes to the table with a different set of experiences. And of course I'm going to say this vaccine sucks. But I'm not telling you to not get it. But we've got to listen to each other. I just hope that we can somehow meet in the middle here and just provide each other love. Be well everybody. Be well.

TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE:
JIMMY KIMMEL [Late night TV host]: That choice doesn't seem tough to me. Vaccinated person having a heart attack? Yes come right on in, we'll take care of you. Unvaccinated guy who gobbled horse goo? Rest in peace, wheezy [clapping and laughter]
