Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 102

fairy talesAs we near the end of 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.

danbashaw,
First, congratulations on your bravery and making it through so far. It was bad in the USA, but from what I have heard, it was completely terrible in Canada. Just the quotes from Justin Trudeau were beyond the pale. I know you aren't asking for it, but someone should recognize what you went through and that you stood firm. Respect.
I didn't get the jab and initially I thought that it was because I don't do doctors at all, for anything. After thinking about it though, I was scared during the pandemic. I washed down groceries and put hand sanitizer in the car and at the door and stayed home. So if I really thought a shot would save my life, I might have done the doctor thing. Maybe...
I think the reason that I didn't get the shot is because all of the sudden I was TOLD I had to get the shot. I was told that I would be fired by my work and that I could not see my first grandchild by my daughter unless I got the shot. I realize now, that was probably it. I was TOLD TO... and so of course I refused.
Maybe it was spiritual, maybe it wasn't. I listen to my intuition, to guides that have told me things in the past. But the people in charge? Nope. I don't remember any moment of clarity. I do remember deep, visceral anger and a sense of betrayal. I mean seriously ... no such thing as natural immunity?! It kept getting more stupid and my anger kept getting deeper. And my determination to not get the shot got stronger every day.

I can relate. The Covid/ vaxx hysteria flipped me over from being a "Sandernista" ever since 2016 to a Trump-supporter (though certainly not a vocal one in RL) in 2021. It really was as though the big-city, blue-state PMC wanted desperately to mint as many new Trump supporters as possible. I think the reason this didn't really show up in the previous election is that the Uranus-Saturn Square in effect at the time was too formidable an oppressive influence for any political damns to break, and the Democratic Party's election-cheating apparatus (which succeeds by adding between one and two percent to the ostensible total to the "favored" candidate's percentage of the vote in close races) has become pretty sophisticated.
