Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 96

[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.

It means a lot of us in the Western states are trying really hard to be kind when we want to say "Now you know what we've lived through the last five years, mind letting us do some serious fire prevention: put roads/into your precious roadless areas, clearcut strips for fire breaks, and get all the beatle kill logged and out?"

Instead we're trying to recommend things like "Pick up a Hepa filter system at the store for one room and everyone asthmatic hide in that room, change your forced air system filter and keep the forced air on, stay inside unless you absolutely have to go out, call your doc and pharmacy and get your inhalers in order now."

But a bit of "Yeah, serves y'all right, jerks," is definitely in our hearts.
(Westerners by and large blame Easterners and the Urban West Coast for stupid federal and state lands policies that enable large burns.) Schadenfraude is bad for our souls, but oh, so tasty.

I hope you're right, but the orange clouds we lived under in 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 do not seem to have been any sort of omen.

What forced air system? I live in a turn of the 20th century house with water radiators. We have two discount store window ACs which aren't up yet since we were trying to save money by just opening the windows at night, and anyway we don't know if their filters are fine enough to filter out the 2.5s that seem to be the majority of the problem (since they are discount store and all).

Whatever
