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 was pretty worried at the outset because of the videos from China of people collapsing in the street. During the first month I avoided most contact with people and as the disease spread across the world, waited to see if the world was really ending.

Turned out it wasn't. There was no mass death in countries without China's total information control and as the media fearmongering ramped up the holes in the story became more apparent. By June 2020 I was ignoring most of the control measures and tiptoeing around the madness when I had to.

Then they said a vaccine was coming out. From the get-go it sounded like a dodgy idea because all prior attempts at coronavirus vaccines had killed the animals they were tested on. Then they explained that it was actually a gene therapy shot that would alter your cells so as to make them produce a pathogen. I decided to sit it out for at least six months and see what happened to the people who took it. No point in volunteering to be a guinea pig, right?

Then came the heavy-handed coercion, the collective insanity of governments and media, and a steady stream of reports of mysterious illnesses and deaths, so many that the governments couldn't even do a proper job of covering them up. The decision made itself: never in a million years would I get the shot.

I never heard the voices people talk about and I had the great fortune of working jobs that didn't ask for private medical information. To me it felt like a simple 101-level test of critical thinking. Now the governments and the media are trying to push it all down the memory hole, but I have a feeling that, as they used to say, they may be done with Covid but Covid isn't done with them.
