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.

Date: 2023-06-14 10:07 pm (UTC)I don't doubt there is such a thing as "long covid"... it's just, long drawn out post-viral illness isn't a new thing. I once took two months to recover from the flu. In my twenties! It was just an awful year, my immune system was tanked, and that year's flu was a doozy. Just about any virus going around will do that to a certain percentage of infectees, given the right circumstances, same as you get people who suffer a very very long time, or even repeated bouts of chronic illness, from epstein-barr, strep, bordetella (found endemically in a huge percentage of chronic bronchitis sufferers), and other fairly common pathogens. If you just look back at older biographies, it's quite common for people to get ill with something and then take months to recover, if they ever fully recover. There used to be really stringent rules for what to feed people who were recovering from illness (clear broths, a boiled egg every day...), because recovery was serious business. Now if you can't go back to work in 3 days that's abnormal?
So I'd like to know if "long-covid" is something really new, different, and specific to covid, or if it's just the same old post-infection extended illness that's always happened to some people. Is it more with covid? Do we know it's actually covid causing it? Or is it the same deal as "the flu knocked the stuffing out of me and I haven't been right for a month!"... because I haven't actually slowed down and taken the required time for my body to properly recover from a serious illness, but instead chugged nyquil and went back to work. I'm not sure what to make of it, because it's hard to get any specifics.
