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.

I'm naturally cantankerous and have had a lifetime of being the black sheep so I was immediately certain that I would be the last person on the planet to get it when I across the Japanese biodistribution study in alt-news in early 2021. It also became immediately clear that my child's ability to have children - my grandchildren! - were what I was fighting for since it was clear it was impacting ovaries from Day 1.

As she is a minor, I had to get my partner onboard. He was given early access and 98% of his company lined up immediately. At the time, he saw no reason not to get it but I begged him to wait for more information to come to light and he agreed to delay. I had him listen to the Dark Horse podcast with Malone and Kirsch and that sealed the deal for him - no vaccines for him or the kid. He ended up getting fired because of it and for a while it was us against the world.

100% of our family and friends got it, we were kicked out of buildings, called names, uninvited from family gatherings...but every hostility made us stronger in our resolve. Every slight made it more obvious that it was some kind of manipulative, psychological trick that was bringing people down and we just couldn't understand how everyone fell for it.

And in the worst of it, when I saw one of the regular commenters here was on a list getting visits from health officials, I drew the line...if anyone came to our door having our child on a list then I was immediately putting everyone in the car and driving to Florida. We would never give in, we had learned too much of the truth about "$cience" and nothing mattered more than keeping it away from our child.

And then...it all faded away and it's 'the thing we don't talk about'. People we know are constantly sick, have sudden health problems, or just die and we say we're sorry and how can we help. But we never mention the thing. There was that disney song that went crazy with the kids in the last year "We don't talk about Bruno" and I think it was catchy because there is this thing we don't talk about and we all know it, our subconscious was given a way to release the pressure.

There were a few sources of sanity along the path: this blog, of course. I am grateful to our host and all of you for being our only friends in 2021 even if we've never met you and don't know your names. I feel like you all are my people and I hope one day to be able to repay you all for what we learned here from you - it saved us many times over. I have also been doing the SOP daily for about 4 years and I am convinced it kept the mass hypnosis off of me ("safe and effective" my butt). Thanks to JMG for that many more times over. Also, a big God Bless to Catholic schools in our town. They held the line, went 5 days a week, never discriminated, never mandated. I didn't expect that but then again I didn't expect collapse to take this format for us. All in all, grateful for the lessons learned and for staying the course. It was all worth it.

Glad to hear about Catholics that fought against this madness! I’m encouraged here deep in the blue to have found a preschool that didn’t mandate.

As an utterly lapse Catholic, I extend to you what was my favorite part of mass.

And peace be with you.

The ex is a profound Catholic. The ex educated us all about Vaxxines long ago.

Thank you for sharing this.

I actually cried when I read that. I would say exactly the same.

Thanks for this post.

I'm the regular commentator who got the visits (two of them) to my house from a county official hew in New Jersey. That first visit was a rough day, among the roughest of this whole mess, because it was such a shock (the second time I was at lest emotionally prepared for it). I remember coming to this forum immediately after the incident to share what had happened, and how I was shaking and teary writing that post, dumbfounded by what was going on and feeling very alone.

But the fact that my experience helped convince someone else to resist makes me feel a bit better. We all had different challenges in standing up for our choices, and I'm glad my wretched experience with that horrible county worker - who went out of her way to act so nice and chat me up about the recent hurricane and flooding that had severely impacted out town, before finally making it clear that she was actually there to violate my right to medical privacy and try to bully me - at least produced some good.

I've taken strength from other people's stores, so I'm glad mine helped someone else.

That would have sent me off the deep end. As it was/ is I find myself (mentally) in 'movie-type' scenarios I can't possibly escape from intact.
