Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 153

[ecosophia]

We are now winding up 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 can relate to this. After a pretty ordinary cold, which I suppose could have been a Covid-cold, last year, for the first time in my life, I had bronchitis, and it was very severe, very long-lasting bronchitis. A lot of people insisted to me that I had pneumonia, and I think they probably thought that because so many vaccinated people who likely developed the same bronchitis probably had it develop, in turn, into full-on, lung-collapsing pneumonia. As I am unvaccinated, I simply recovered from the bronchitis after four unpleasant months, but it did leave behind a productive cough as a parting gift.

A chronic PRODUCTIVE cough? Has a doctor explained why you have that productive cough and cleared you? Otherwise, you have not "recovered" from bronchitis. That's evidence of an ongoing inflammatory or infectious process in your lungs until shown otherwise. I know a lot of people avoid doctors like the plaque (especially since as group they swallowed the covid shot Kool-aid), but you don't want to whistle in the dark on this. Lung function is immediately life-critical after all.

Well, two months after getting over the worst of the bronchitis, I also started experiencing a touch of heavy foggy-fatigue, so I think I may have a milder form of Long Covid. But I really don't want to talk to my hyper-orthodox physician about it. You know what will come of that, right? She will just use that to try to get me to take the Quaxxine. Obviously, that wouldn't cure the Long Covid (whereas the Ivermectin that might possibly do so is nothing I will ever be able to get from any regular medical doctor, and the pharmacist might refuse to fill the prescription even if I did), but the Quaxx is as much a religious sacrament for the PMC as it is a medical treatment, so the more irrational the reason for administering it, the better, in their view. No, for now, I am accepting whatever my fate is in this existentially psychotic society in which we all live here in the USA.
