Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 90

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.

Re: shedding
Re "ostrasizing and discriminating against the foxed". I don't think we're doing that, just taking sensible health precautions - shedding is real. My wife and I had a few rows about the jab when she was wavering, but when I said she would have to sleep in a separate room if she got it, she gave up the idea.
Jabbed or not, extra spike proteins are not going to do you any good, but it's not something I worry about now. It's like glyphosate and all the other sh-t in the food chain, you just do what you can. Nb. Pork producers have been using customizable mRNA-based "vaccines" on their herds since 2018.
My main beef with the jabbed is that they're going to line up dutifully when the next bioweapon is released, so the argument that "you have to take poison, so my dose of poison works" is going to start up all over again. It's not that they're bad people (mostly), they just don't think straight and their unthinking compliance worsens the situation.
The ABS says: "There were 190,775 deaths which occurred in 2022. This is significantly higher than usual and is not considered to be a typical year for mortality in Australia." Yeah right, wonder why?
Extra deaths in Oz vs baseline were around 23,000 for 2022, so you could say about 1 in 1100 people died from the jab. If you look at death graphs across heavily jabbed countries, they all show a temporal correlation between jab rates and death rates, where death rates elevated shortly after jabbing starts.
Ed Dowd's figures from the insurance industry and Govt data show the permanently disabled i.e. unable to work again are about about double the death nos PER YEAR and the injured (got sick, but recovered) about 4X. Hmmm, strange indeed how workers are hard to find.

(Anonymous) 2023-04-30 04:14 am (UTC)(link)At this point it's not about being polite any more. If they all start to mob up again and you're in the way then the same scenarios will repeat themselves. Don't stand in the middle of the stampede because of some misguided notion of moral superiority. I'm trying to put more effort into finding like minded people but it's difficult so far.
Re: shedding
(Anonymous) 2023-04-30 04:17 am (UTC)(link)Funny you should mention this issue of shedding because it has been on my mind. I do believe that shedding affected me, but it has since passed.
On lengthy reflection, my personal stance on the shedding issue is:
1. I have a great immune system, I can let it do its job, no need to get into pretzels about it
2. I drink dandelion tea, anise tea, etc. and take some natto (good for reducing effects of spike)
3. I also take Ivermectin on occasion
4. On balance, there are far more benefits than costs in just giving someone a hug
5. I figure I've already been amply shed upon at the height of VaxxFest, so what the heck
6. It was dastardly evil to try to create a class of Untermensch, and hypocrisy is such a bore

(Anonymous) 2023-04-30 04:32 pm (UTC)(link)What type of natto do you prefer? I plan to make a trip to our local Asian supermarket tomorrow to see what they have. It seems that there are a million varieties talked about on the internet. It's a little overwhelming. But, if I've leftover spike circulating in my system, let's get it gone!
I love your positive outlook. It's always a delight to see your kind message to all here each and every week.

Re: shedding
1. It's always better to treat people as potential friends rather than potential vectors of death, regardless of any actual physical risk (which is almost always fear-amplified out of proportion in these sorts of situations).
2. To the extent that shedding is actually a thing, it's going to be transient, i.e. most significant in the first week or two after vaccination and decaying to zero or at least close-enough-to-zero-to-ignore by a few months out.
3. Consider logically how shedding has to work. First the free spike or spike-bearing exosomes need to cross into the airspaces in the lungs and be breathed out, after which bystanders breathe them in. What is the highest relative dose that could possibly be transferred in this manner? The amount of spike that is shed is almost certainly going to be <10% of the spike produced by the vaccinated person, and then even sharing a bed it would be hard for more than 1% of that air (and its associated particles) to end up in someone else's lungs, and then it needs to get absorbed into the body which is another lossy process. I would estimate something on the order of 0.1%, i.e. 1000 times less spike exposure compared to the person who was actually vaccinated, as about the highest relative dose that someone could receive via shedding. That's potentially enough for sensitive individuals to notice - if spike is irritant or allergenic along the lines of pollen - but as far as I'm concerned if a 0.1% relative dose was enough to cause real harm then all of the vaccinated people would be dead by now.

Or... I guess... move to a different neighborhood.
Re: shedding
My current feeling is not to worry too much, keep certain precautions in place (such as being a bit more mindful of who has swigged my drink), and to stay healthy. Beyond that, it's in the hands of the gods.
Re: shedding
Being religious, I also have to go with... how does this make me treat others? If bio-exposure paranoia forces me to treat others in a manner not consistent with my faith, then it's the behavior that has to be pitched.
The early Christians were considered crazy because during a plague, when the rich fled the city to self-isolate at their country estates, the Christians stayed to tend to the sick, disregarding the risk to their own health. That's the example we (Christians) have to try to live up to. Health, and even this current temporary life, are not the highest good, to be protected at all costs.
No matter what your religion, a clear hierarchy of priorities makes that decision easier.

Re: shedding
Nurses and physicians are some of the healthiest people around. In all cultures families say farewell to the dying in person. I don't believe being around the sick, vaccinated or dying is dangerous.

Re: shedding
Early on I did have to explain to my young, adult, sons (who were variously exposed to the same media vibe and developed some fears of their own) that - yes, we will die sometime, no, we were not particularly at more risk now than before the Covid panic, and that in the event that either of us became ill to death with Covid, they were never to seek to apportion blame to themselves, or to any other person, for "killing" us. We are all living in the same biological world, sharing the same pathogens, and the same hazards, whether natural or man-made. We will neither fear, nor blame, but live in the good every day we are given.
Be blessed, be well, stay free!
