Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 141

[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.

This is very, very often how those who lose a child to suicide handle it. No cause given, no information offered.

Teen suicide rates skyrocketed. Why wouldn't they? Our world took everything from them, They see how it doesn't matter how hard they try, how good they are, it can all be taken on a whim at any moment. These are Covid deaths, but not from vax or virus, but from the insane societal responses.

We are one year from nearly losing our second son to suicide. I chose at the time to not be silent, to name the otc drug he used (diphenhydramine) and say the consequences (seizures which caused brain damage).

He's alive. He's doing ok. He isn't able to think as easily in all the ways as he was before, but he's doing ok.

One of the results of my naming what had happened is many, many friends reached out and said "I lost a brother/son/cousin/daughter/sister to suicide and my family insisted on never talking about it, calling it an 'accident' or 'health problem'." I think a few of those found some comfort in knowing that we would dare to speak.

But a lot of families are ashamed to lose a child that way and blame themselves. I know I missed warning signs. I don't turn despair in, I turn it out, and I was watching the children wired like me, not the ones that turn it in on themselves. Now I know.

And now you all know: Gen Z and tail end Millenials are at unusually high risk of suicide. Anyone who was graduating or starting their adult lives in 2020-present got hurt badly, especially if they were the good kids who did all the things they were supposed to do to be successful. (The 'bad' kids are a little less shocked by getting bad treatment from society.)

That last paragraph really hits home, BoysMom. My son was in his final semester of high school when the world ‘locked down’ in 2020. Good student. No prom; no graduation ceremony. He was also in his final year of air cadets and was in line to getting his pilot’s licence in the summer – something that he had been singularly focused on since he joined five years previously. Air cadets closed for a year. His first year of college was cancelled due to ‘medicine time’. It has only been during the past 12 months that he has really come out of a really dark black-pilled time. But still not like he was before 2020; likely, he never will be. The one saving grace was that he had a close-knit group of home-living high school friends who weathered the traumatic years together. So many kids of his year did not fare so well, ending up being cooped up and isolated living in a new city during their first year of college, and took their lives. Some parents of these children gave evidence at the National Citizens Inquiry last year: they were among the hardest for me to watch and transcribe. Breaks my heart. Such harms and such evil must never be forgotten nor forgiven.

Thank you. I could say a lot right now about my situation but it would all be speculative at this point so simply 'Thank you.'
