Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 102
Jul. 18th, 2023 11:46 am![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)

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.

Something more like I was back when I was a delinquent anarchist.
Coming full circle.
But more dangerous :)

Date: 2023-07-21 03:40 pm (UTC)I actually clicked through to the article, and read it. The "healthy" child in question was obese, and, according to the text - but not the headline - of the article, probably had un-diagnosed diabetes, because he died when his blood sugar spiraled out of control and they couldn't get it fixed before it killed him. At best, he died of un-diagnosed metabolic disorder probably bought on by obesity, and exacerbated by a virus that wouldn't have killed a healthy anybody.
But the headline said "Healthy Child". Madness.
Re: The Epiphany (A reflection thread on pandemic choices)
Date: 2023-07-21 04:05 pm (UTC)What if a lot of it comes down to pattern-recognition skills?
Many people have been abused, or lied to by the medical industry, or encountered some other authoritarian system, or studied history/sociology/political science/psychology, or seen a psy-op before - but not everyone recognizes it when they see it again. In fact, many of us were shocked that people went back for more shots after being injured by the first (or got shots despite past negative experiences with the medical-industrial complex), or dumbfounded that academics couldn't see the sorts of things they'd supposedly studied happening in real life right in front of them, or that people with medical backgrounds couldn't look at the real data and SEE what was there, or surprised by how many artists and "rebels" who claimed to be questioners didn't question when it mattered, or people who claimed to have faith didn't have any when faith was finally truly needed, etc. The fact is, having seen, experienced, and/or learned about something wrong and crazy only helps if you have the pattern recognition skills to spot it again the second time around.
Many people seem to lack the fundamental ability to see a long-standing pattern when it crops up in a new context, and it seems like the people who saw through Cootie-palooza were very often the ones who could say, "I've seen this before in a different context; the details are different, but I recognize the same PATTERN in a different setting."

Still, I have to wonder why Leo features at the top of the conformance list, all the same.

Date: 2023-07-21 05:47 pm (UTC)Please feel free to edit my phrasing. You might also take a look at the FAQ if you haven't already. The main point if like to stress is that the way to ensure somebody with long term issues remains on the list is to send updates about once a month. Good luck to BP!
Youngest Case of Alzheimer's ever
Date: 2023-07-21 05:52 pm (UTC)In China a 19 year old has been diagnosed with the youngest case of Alzheimer's disease ever reported. Mysteriously, he lacks gene malfunction normally associated with young cases of Alzheimer's. Apparently symptoms began 2 years ago. Hmmm... What unusual new factor could have entered his life around that time...

Date: 2023-07-21 06:09 pm (UTC)I"ve got to believe whoever put this article together was amoral. And possessed of a very dark sense of humour.
The types that believe nothing but profit by believing nothing.

Date: 2023-07-21 06:20 pm (UTC)It does look like fire signs in general are at the top of the list.
Another thing, this survey is in Salt Lake City, Utah. Fairly high Mormon population. I think their take rate was lower than average.
Re: Astrology and the Jab
Date: 2023-07-21 06:31 pm (UTC)I'm not a Scorpio, but I have Pluto conjunct my ascendant, and Uranus in the first house. I'd be much more interested in people's Uranus placement than in their Sun sign, tbh.

Date: 2023-07-21 08:13 pm (UTC)Or that respiratory viruses have always killed people who were already old and/or sick - and where by "killed" I mean "hastened the inevitable." The flu "kills" many such people every year.
At some point, we decided to ignore the difference between "virus slightly hastened the end of life like they've always done" and "virus struck down a healthy person like a car accident or bolt of lightening."

Date: 2023-07-21 10:20 pm (UTC)Yes, the 15-minute cities horror-show is a creeping menace in Toronto and so many other cities across the nation. Given their apathy, I suspect that by the time most people wake up to the reality it will be either (a) virtually upon them or (b) already a fait accompli (like a python that slips its coils around a sleeping animal; by the time it starts to squeeze and the animal wakes up, there is no escape). But like any complex system there are weaknesses – and there are those who know about them and have been posting videos aplenty about many cheap and easy ways of ‘putting a spanner into the works’ / ‘pouring sand into the gears’. Besides, as evil and powerful as they are, the elites (parasites) are arrogant, stupid, and live in a world of make-believe where abstractions and public relations are more ‘real’ than concrete reality (case in point: Ukraine/Russia). Well, reality is going to hit them like a 2x4 square between the eyes! All the same, things look grim in the short-term.
Honk! Honk!
