Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 99

[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 occurs to me that "I got hurt so someone must pay my medical bills, and if it's me that'll bankrupt me" might be more apropos.

Anonymous, Indeed!

Long ago I did work helping people who couldn't pay their medical bills. First thing I learned was merely calling the medical billing folks and offering to help make a deal would knock at least 10% of the total due. Then, just offer a realistic payment plan. $25/year in cash from an elderly migrant farmworker who only gets work a few weeks a year and is facing a full coronary ER, ICU and hospital huge bill? OK, approved! Seen that happen. The medical billing folks just don't want a stone cold dead debt on their books.

Many medical bills can also be reduced 30% if paid in full in cash or check within 30 days especially if no medical insurers are involved. Plus, new US federal laws in 2021 and 2022 require more transparency on many medical services so some consumers can shop a bit better for prices such as out-patient tests.

If anyone needs to hear something positive about Stanford after my rant above, I suggest reading or listening to professors Dr. Jay Bhattacharya and PhD-classicist Victor Davis Hanson such as here for audio, video and transcripts:
