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.

Re: The Epiphany (A reflection thread on pandemic choices)

[drhooves]

Since I follow Denninger's blog for economic and techie info, I got a bit of early warning on the whole thing. It was late December of 2019 or early January of 2020 when pics and video from China were in the news, and it wasn't long before several folks were pointing out that it looked fake/suspicious. Can't say as I ever heard anyone here in the U.S. fell dead in the street, bleeding from the ears because of Covid. Then about mid February of 2020, Denninger posted he was stocking up on some essentials because it looked like a panic was on the way. So I also stocked up, and sat back and snickered at the fire drill a month later.

But it wasn't until I was sitting up at the American Legion, swilling a beer and watching hoops in early March of 2020 that the seriousness of the reaction set in. The crawl came across the screen that the Big 10 basketball tournament was being canceled, and not long after that the crawl said the NCAA tourney March Madness was also being canceled. I couldn't believe that all that money was being flushed down the drain for a common chest cold. As a side note, that was the last night the Legion held their Queen of Hearts contest for over a year.

I was not at all convinced there was an emergency, and certainly not a pandemic. Even early CDC numbers stated a 99.74% survival rate. From that point on I didn't want to give .gov the satisfaction I was going to cooperate. When I was laid off temporarily in April and May of 2020, I went on plenty of motorcycle rides in downstate Illinois and Indiana, in spite of Pritzger's lockdowns.

I had no opinion about Vaxxes, since I don't have any kids, but hadn't had a shot since I was in the military almost 40 years ago. If anything I leaned towards getting them, since years of propaganda had labeled the anti-vaxxers nut cases. However, Denninger was soon on the trail of that, and before they were released he warned of the dangers of MRNA technology. Between the posts here and on Denninger's blog, it was easy to have the technical ammo to "Just Say No" to the Jabs. Unfortunately, most of my friends and relatives got at least one shot, but I was spared most of the pressures that many endured.

Now, I just want a whole lot of accountability.
