Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 109

[ecosophia]

We are now in the third year of these open posts. As the phrase "died suddenly" repeats in the mass media like a mantra, statistics for work days lost to illness and all-cause mortality mount up in heavily vaccinated nations, and more and more ugly facts about the official response to Covid spill out into public, we are entering what may well turn out to be the most difficult period of the Covid disaster -- the phase in which denial rises in lockstep with the death rate, and a great many people try not to admit what has been done to them by the people and institutions they trusted. It could get ugly, folks.

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.

Trying to reconcile anger over vaxx mandate

[(Anonymous)]

I've read along these two-plus years of coof comments. This forum has been a source of sanity and a valuable outlet for the frustrated. By way of background, I'm relatively lucky as compared to many here who have had their lives thoroughly disrupted by the insane vaxx antics of government(s), the press and the medical community. I've been working remotely since before the insanity started, I live on a farm and rarely travel, and my wife doesn't work off-farm. Not shot up and never will be.

My (grown-up) kid's were not so lucky, both had lives and plans derailed by lockdown madness. They are OK now, and also non-GMO, so they'll be fine in the future.

Nevertheless I've felt the same rage as many here. The sheer scope of the injustice perpetrated by our 'betters' has left me froth-mouthed on more than one occasion.

I'm also a reader of our hosts OTHER ECO-postings, so this is a bit of a 'crossover episode' so to speak. Which brings me to my point. After going though another episode of 'Old Man Yelling At The TV' Syndrome I realized I was focusing on the perpetrators and not the people harmed.

So my approach and attitude has changed a bit. When I'm exposed to yet another example of Stupid Evil, I now say 'May they find peace', and focus on the victims.

My original phrasing was 'May they find justice', but have learned from OTHER blog bits that 'justice' is probably best left up to entities wiser than me, and karma. If finding justice is what brings them peace, so be it, but not mine to judge.

This has helped my own mental health quite a bit. And my wife is happy that OMYATV Syndrome has gone into remission.

Thanks for this. It's very helpful for me to read these thoughts.
The idea of switching focus seems profound.
I'll give it a shot.

My OMYATV syndrom has erupted into quite the 'one-man show' at times.
Not exactly 'Omm...' material,,.

Thanks, glad it helped. If profound it's mostly second-hand wisdom from our host and the commentariat. I've learned a few things and been entertained a lot over the years from these posts.

Sounds like good advice for this old curmudgeon, too. If it works I might even change the inscription I've ordered for my gravestone to something besides "GET OFF MY LAWN!"
