Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 90

[ecosophia]

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, 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.

Continuing my earlier response (tucker/thought policing/wokeism)...
One possible chink in the armor of Wokeist strategy is being illustrated with the whole Dylan Mulvaney/trans athletes business... biological non-trans women are getting tired of having their rights trampled on in the name of trans rights... I can only hope they rise up #metoo style and call an end to this business. Rise of the TERFs!

I feel like wokeism has a little bit of the same teflon effect as Donald Trump: opposition tends not to stick and only riles up the base. The angrier the opposition, the more people tend to side with the wokesters.

I *also* feel that a much more effective opposition would avoid using and attempting to redefine the categories the wokesters created but would just respectfully treat people as people while pointing out important differences when they matter.

"You, Lia Thomas, may not compete on this team. Not because you're actually a man (a matter on which we stake no claim) but because your body developed in the presence of a performance-enhancing drug called testosterone which gives you an unfair advantage."

"You, child, may not have surgery or hormone therapy. Not because we don't believe in your dysphoria or your chosen identity but simply because we do not as a society allow children to make irreversible changes to their bodies. If you still feel this way at age 18 the choice is all yours."

I wonder how much of this is people actually siding the wokesters, and how much of it is that people just want the fighting to go away, and think that the wokesters are more likely to win the fight; if that's the case, then one decisive victory on the part of the anti-woke movement could completely change these dynamics...

I agree with you that the Dylan Mulvaney push back might start something good. I am watching the trans stuff with horror, not because there is any issue with people acting and dressing anyway they please, but because the medical industry saw the profit potential and their predatory instincts went into overdrive. Do whatever you want, but stay away from doctors... especially plastic surgeons! Maybe a generation of moms with mutilated kids will wake up, stand up, and put things right. The medical industry's gleeful pushing of drugs and surgery for every conceivable human feeling or symptom is out of control. It started way before COVID, got bigger and more authoritarian with COVID and has turned into torture and mutilation with the trans stuff.

My daughter had a baby this past week and I was with her at the hospital until her husband could get there. This was a new experience for me because my mistrust of the medical industry is long, long-standing and I had never been in any medical facility for childbirth for myself or anyone else. But I don't push my views on anyone else, like my daughter, who wanted to be in the hospital for the birth. The experience in the hospital was fascinating and horrifying. All the technology was IMPRESSIVE and clearly childbirth is a big money maker because the hospital suite was hotel-like with room service offered after the birth, nice paneling on the walls, etc. I should say that another relative was in this same hospital in the past year for something else and his hospital room, in a different part of the complex, had a third world country vibe. Anyway, the biggest thing that struck me was that my daughter was all monitored up (contractions, baby heartbeat) and both she and I focused on the monitors. I didn't say anything, but mentally was contrasting this with my own 4 births with no monitors where I focused on my own body. And so I tried to tear myself away from the monitors and focus on my daughter, but it was hard. I think something huge was lost there... But the baby was born, is fine, and hey, they got room service after.
But the medical industry is evil, and I hope we can stop them.

Thank you for this. I birthed two out of three at home, but ended up at hospital after all of them for differing reasons, and I felt like a voiceless hostage the whole time I was there. And people react to me like I’m some kind of oversensitive crazy person when I bring it up. But it’s clear to me that as soon as you cross that threshold into hospital (or even an ambulance), your body is no longer your own. Like some kind of spell takes hold. The machines and their medically credentialed automatons create and interpret reality there, everyone else be damned.
