Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 79

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, religions, etc. No, I don't care if you disagree with that: my journal, my rules.
With that said, the floor is open for discussion.

-big earthquakes in the crust of the earth will ring the entire planet including bouncing off the magma/core boundary like a bell so a big quake on one side of the planet will be felt on the other side.
- the rock record, especially in the mid-oceanic plate spreading rift valleys indicates the Earth's magnetic poles have flipped many times. No clear idea why that flip happens where the north pole become the south pole and vice versa. Theories range from asteroid impacts to the churning of magma and deeper down the hot iron core having their magnetism affected. Like the winds & tides caused by Earth's rotation and its gravitational connection to the Moon - but on a much longer timescale. Edward may have been feeling the magma or core rumbling?
- any boater or airplane pilot has to set daily their magnetic compass to the known geographic direction to the geographic North or South Pole thanks to the normally slow "drift" of the magnetic poles. The drift was slow and meandering when I started training as an airplane pilot almost 40 years ago. The drift rate has accelerated and is moving in straight lines in the last decades.
