Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 102

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.
Re: The Epiphany (A reflection thread on pandemic choices)
(Anonymous) 2023-07-19 05:03 am (UTC)(link)I further suspected from the get-go that this entire COVID charade had a political and/or hidden agenda. I told my cousin that I felt it had something to do with the upcoming US election. Nothing added up. The idea that planes from China should not be banned because “racism” was utterly ludicrous given that the disease was supposedly ravaging China. It was so patently ridiculous – even for our degenerate political class - that I knew there had to be something else going on. Like most everyone, I initially complied with the lock-downs and the masking. I was suspicious but I had nothing to work with. However, by the summer of 2020, I knew that we were being subjected to some sort of behavioral control experiment. If COVID was truly akin to the Black Death, we’d have all been dead by that point and, quite obviously, that was not the case.
The next red flag came with the announcement of a “vaccine” – in fact, four of them (at least) – all ready to go. I have university degrees in Commerce and Marketing but I am old enough to have received a reasonable science education in high school. As well, my mother had been a nurse. I could not imagine how vaccines could be created, tested and declared ready for use in such a short time. Most vaccine development takes place over a period of 8-12 years – not 8-12 weeks! And given that some of these vaccines used a new delivery system (mRNA), the testing period would have had to be longer. Again, it just did not add up.
I started to do some research online and came across doctors who were warning that these jabs would affect fertility and create auto-immune issues. I have a 26 year-old and I did not want him harmed in any way and we both have auto-immune issues. I told him that we were NOT going to take these jabs. My mistake was thinking that they would be treated like any other vaccination – “your body, your choice, MY BODY, MY CHOICE”. By May, 2021, I realized that something truly demonic was behind all this and I warned my kid that they might force this which, of course, they did. By September, he was told he was going to be fired if he did not get vaxxed. We had a huge fight over it but I would not budge and I told him I didn’t care if we were reduced to eating wallpaper paste. Eventually, he gave in and was let go at the end of October, 2021 although he was rehired in late March, 2022 once the mandates ended in Ontario. That is a whole other story!
Like others here have commented, this nightmare we continue to live through (I think we can all see that it isn’t over yet) has left me disgusted, enraged and suspicious of most everyone and everything. Although I did not “lose” any friends or family over this, I don’t feel the same about most of them. It has left my oldest and best friend in this world with neurological and mobility issues and he recently told me that he knows it was the vaxx (one of the specialists he has seen told him this as well) and that he is full of regret. Another friend has heart issues although he would NEVER admit this was vaxx-related. His choice!
I will never feel the same way about Canada which I no longer recognize. I no longer believe in the promise of the West – it is as corrupt and evil as anything ever to come out of the East. I have lost trust in most people who I see have been changed by all of this. I still believe deep down that I am living in a re-make of “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” – although I think demons are responsible rather than aliens. I have been slogging through essays by Rudolf Steiner since last fall. I think he was on to something.
It’s all so unbelievably sad. Now I just wait for the other shoe to drop.

(Anonymous) 2023-07-19 06:45 pm (UTC)(link)In general I am warily optimistic, however, because I do see a small but highly dedicated and growing group of organizations doing excellent work for medical freedom. We are not alone, our ranks are growing. While there have been disappointments, there have been numerous successful lawsuits and also many effective efforts to block anti-freedom legislation and to lobby for pro-freedom legislation. We don't hear about it because of the censorship. Washington DC just dropped its covid jab mandate for school children thanks in large part to heavy pressure from parents and from Children's Health Defense (RFK Jr's organization).
I too think Steiner was onto something. I have long ago concluded that while much can be explained by RFK (his book The Real Anthony Fauci) and by Desmet (mass formation psychosis) and so many others, there are more than human dynamics to this madness, and to these battles for the future of humanity.

(Anonymous) 2023-07-20 10:37 am (UTC)(link)I'd been friends with this person for over 40 years and we'd gone through a lot together, but when covid kicked off he turned into someone I no longer recognised. Initially he became meek, fearful and paranoid, leaving his delivered shopping out in the sun for 24 hours and then wiping it all with bleach. His daily walks, the only time he left the house, were 'wary'. He and his wife turned into hypochondriacs and called paramedics more than once, for issues like wheezing or a cough. That developed into becoming a mask disciple, followed by becoming a vaccine disciple. He started being quite vicious about anyone not following the approved narrative, not realising he was talking about me and my partner who refused to follow orders. I no longer see him as the same person and, given some of his more recent attitudes, have decided to not contact him again.
It does seem that a lot of people were completely consumed by the narrative, to the point that they've turned into someone unrecognisable.

(Anonymous) 2023-07-20 07:02 pm (UTC)(link)A lot of them have tried to "reconnect" with me now that the "pandemic" is "over", and I'm just like, why? Why do you want to "reconnect" with me? By your own judgements, I'm one of those selfish, ignorant, rule-breaking, misinformed, anti-vaxxer conspiracy theorists you were vilifying not so long ago. And even if I didn't support Trump, I hang around with people who did, people who you also hate and despise for their "ignorance" and "racism". Why do you want anything to do with ME? I'm not one of you. I used to think we had things in common, but now I know how different we are. Why are you still trying to "reconnect"?!
