Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 139

[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.

I'm sorry to ask this. It seems so small compared to others. I can't afford dental work that I desperately need.
My mouth is falling apart. It's not cosmetic. I need a wind to bring me some opportunity that yields fruit or something.
Thank you.
S.

S -

I don't know where you are located, but have you looked into dental schools?

I know that in New York City, some of the dental schools (Columbia, NYU) used to provide free or very low-cost dental care, if you were willing to have it done by a student under the supervision of an instructor at a teaching clinic. I never used the service myself, but a co-worker of mine used to get her dental care done at the NYU clinic, and she seemed to get perfectly good care, for free. She did say that appointments had to be made well in advance, and also that the work took a longer than going to a regular dentist (because of the teaching aspect), but it saved her a lot of money.

I'm not sure if that would be an option for you, but it might be worth checking out? Put words like dental-school-teaching-clinic-NameOfCity into a search engine and see what you find. Depending on how rural you are, you might have to travel to a bigger city or a university town, and it might take time to get an appointment, but still - can't hurt to check, right?

Thank you. I do live in a large city and when younger I used a dental school affiliated with a university. My results were mixed but overall decent. I'm familiar with the working structure. My situation now is that things have gone too far and what I need I don't believe a student would be able to do even with supervision. The ex has assisted me with natural dental 'remedies' that might be putting things in slow motion. A bit of synchronicity
happened recently that a bit down the line could very well impact positively on income. I appreciate your concern and sharing information.

Hi S., I will add your request to the prayer list. No prayer is too small where there is real need.
