Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 102

[ecosophia]

As 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.

Thank you for the invitation to share...

I was already not in a demographic given to looking for doctor's advice. TCM training gave me a sense of confidence that the body is capable of working through most physical ailments, and the little bit of gentle help from herbs, or from the movement and regulation of qi, can be beneficial when it gets stuck.

I had also begun to pay specific attention to vaccines, the way they are argued for, and the issues their marketers are given to dodging, when I started to research the HPV vaccine a few years prior.

So, while I was probably never going to go looking for a vaccination, given all of the above, I can safely say that a vaccination never came looking for me, either. Neither my husband nor I have had a reason to seek a doctor's advice for many, many years, and we seem to be well enough out of most "loops" whether social or bureaucratic, through which other people found pressure building - whether family or work or local welfare or healthcare services. It just never arose that either of us was ever offered a vaccine, or asked whether we were vaccinated by anyone who cared that we weren't.

But of course, we were aware that there was a circus going on somewhere, we just so happened to have found ourselves already outside of the tent while it was going on.

Neither of us ever encountered any voices either for or against. We made a good team, though, and continue to feel blessed to have had our lucky escape from the general madness.
