truth in advertising?We are now in the fourth year of these open posts. When I first posted a tentative hypothesis on the course of the Covid phenomenon, I had no idea that discussion on the subject would still be necessary more than three years later, much less that it would turn into so lively, complex, and troubling a conversation. Still, here we are. Crude death rates and other measures of collapsing public health are anomalously high in many countries, but nobody in authority wants to talk about the inadequately tested experimental Covid injections that are the most likely cause; public health authorities government shills for the pharmaceutical industry are still trying to push through laws that will allow them to force vaccinations on anyone they want; public trust in science is collapsing; and the story continues to unfold.

So it's time for another open post. The rules have been slightly modified: 

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 and its government enablers are causing injury and death on a massive scale. 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 wholly owned 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 plan on making off topic comments, please go away. This is an open post for discussion of the Covid epidemic, the vaccines, drugs, policies, and other measures that supposedly treat it, and other topics directly relevant to those things. It is not a place for general discussion of unrelated topics. Nor is it a place to ask for medical advice; giving such advice, unless you're a licensed health care provider, legally counts as practicing medicine without a license and is a crime in the US. Don't even go there.


5. 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. 

Please also note that nothing posted here should be construed as medical advice, which neither I nor the commentariat (excepting those who are licensed medical providers) are qualified to give. Please take your medical questions to the licensed professional provider of your choice.


With that said, the floor is open for discussion.

Even when there's not outright manipulation, there's so much distortion to reflect on in the COVID informational hall of mirrors.

Take this Tweet:

https://x.com/TRyanGregory/status/1830648158487249106

' "More than 1 in 5 believe it's safer to get the virus than to get a shot."

For TWO reasons: 1) antivaxxer misinformation about the safety of shots and 2) platforming of minimizers who have convinced people that the virus is not dangerous.'

I follow this person on X because there's useful info. from time to time on the ever changing virus. I don't follow them for their rock solid belief in the greatness and necessity of the vixens. Saying that though, I do acknowledge there is a danger in the virus, though probably less so to me personally than he's thinking and he probably doesn't link a potentially increasing danger with the mass jabbing. I certainly won't ever say or think 'it's just a cold' after my last bout - it's sneaky if you don't watch it.

What I do wonder about is:

1) What fraction think it's safer not to get either the virus or the COVID vixens (my preference for what it's worth)

and

2) How can anyone now think these injectables are anything apart from a failure and actively harmful.

I understand about following people who have a different perspective on the shots. It is good to see all sides. So I thought it might help to offer mine, which is on the other end of the spectrum from the person you are following:

"1) What fraction think it's safer not to get either the virus or the COVID vixens (my preference for what it's worth)" -- none of us want to get sick, but usually there is little choice. And keep in mind, some illnesses are actually beneficial, in that they develop your immune system so you don't get something even worse. So fwiw, I don't think I understand your question. If you live in this world, you will get sick sometimes. Covid, the flu, etc. Support and trust your body -- that is the safest thing I can think to do.

"2) How can anyone now think these injectables are anything apart from a failure and actively harmful." -- let's make that more general: how can anyone think anything that the medical cartel does is helpful other than treating trauma and a very few other things. Here is an example of one of those very few things: if a pregnant woman has the condition placenta previa, then she has to have a Caesarian or both she and the baby die. You want a surgeon (aka, an obstetrician) at that point. I can't think of very many other times that an obstetrician is helpful; they are trained to do surgery, so guess what they do, whether you need it or not? What the Covid "vaccines" demonstrated to anyone that cared to look is that the medical cartel is fine with actively harming people if they can make some cash out of it. It has been that way for a while. Lot's of people haven't woken up to it yet. When you have trauma or really require a C-section to continue living, the medical cartel might come in handy (but keep an eye on them, they can't be trusted!). Otherwise, stay away, stay away, stay away, and trust your own body!

I have another question to add: 3) When did we decide and who decided that we have to go to the doctor/take medication to stay healthy? Just the opposite seems true to me.

Horrifying...
Naomi Wolf: "It is the greatest crime against humanity in recorded history unfortunately. And the Pfizer papers do have a specific focus on destroying reproduction, so that's why I wanted to believe that it wasn't a depopulation agenda, but unfortunately the evidence persuaded me within the Pfizer documents that that's exactly what it is. They knew they were blocking women's ovaries with lipid nanoparticles, they knew the lipid nanoparticles traverse the placenta. They determined that the deaths of fetuses were due to maternal exposure to the "vaccine". They knew that vaccinated women who were nursing their babies were making babies sick. Their charts, this is why I say Mengele science, they're just charts showing this many thousands of babies are vomiting, this many thousands of babies have edema, which is swollen flesh, this many thousands of babies have convulsions. One baby died of multi organ system failure from nursing vaccinated moms. And to this day I'm sure in the Netherlands, all over Europe, all over the world no one's telling vaccinated moms that they can risk their babies lives by nursing them, but Pfizer knew. Pfizer knew, in one section of the Pfizer documents there's an over 80% spontaneous abortion or miscarriage rate. Pfizer knows there's something with the semen of vaccinated men that is possibly dangerous to women or fetuses because they warn vaccinated men not to have intercourse with childbearing age women and if they do to use 2 reliable forms of contraception.
They knew that the injection doesn't stay in the injection site but it travels all over the body within 48 hours, accumulating in the adrenals, the spleen, the lymphatic system, the liver, crosses the blood brain barrier which causes a lot of brain damage type reactions you're seeing and accumulates in the ovaries. They knew it was damaging the hearts of minors and our lawyers FOIAd from the White House showing a scramble in April of 2021 to cover this up, but they just kept going that summer and into the next year propagandizing parents to vaccinate..."

IMPORTANT NEWS: Pfizer is being sued for their mRNA COVID vaccine poisons.

Kansas is going after Pfizer for “false and misleading marketing of a vaccine”. This is a day late and a dollar short for the millions of people hurt or killed by these poisons but a welcome action. AG Kobach is showing courage in this and should be commended.

Colonoscopy

Date: 2024-09-03 04:25 pm (UTC)
From: (Anonymous)
I went to get a check up at my doctor just for a base line of my health as a middle aged male. I'm on no medication and don't plan to be. In fact, I was glad to just see a nurse practitioner and not my primary care doctor (who I haven't seen in several years). They wanted to schedule a colonoscopy. I thought I would have at least five more years before anyone wanted to do that to me. But the lady said they were seeing a rise of colon issues (by which I think she meant cancer) in younger people. I thought that was interesting.

Of course, it could be they just want to start milking people for the money they get off these tests earlier, which is probably true on one level. But I think it just as likely that there is a rise in cancer, as discussed here and elsewhere.

She didn't seem to bat an eye when I didn't take them up on their offer of getting a flu shot or covid vaccine, which I was quite happy about.

You do you, but I don't go in for checkups anymore. I figure those tests are part of the marketing strategy. They're looking for a hook to get you on the "treatment" treadmill for the rest of your life. I figure I'll pay attention to my body, and if I feel like something is wrong, I will do something about it. Until then, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Through blatant lies, deep cover-ups, and high-level collusion with government and media, Big Pharma has continuously put profits over people with dangerous results. Now, with her signature investigative rigor and uncompromising commitment to the facts, Sharyl Attkisson takes readers on an shocking journey through the dark underbelly of the pharmaceutical industry. Follow the Science recounts, in exacting detail, how far the pharmaceutical industry and its supporters in medicine, media, and government will go to protect their profits. Attkisson provides shocking examples that reveal the disturbing callousness our government, public health officials, and top researchers are capable of when it comes to the most vulnerable among us. And she explains, in a graphic sense, how some of the most trusted within our society are willing to commit life-threatening ethics violations. When caught, they circle the wagons and marshal forces to defend their bad acts and take steps to cruelly silence the injured and smear those who would expose them.This book includes exclusive, eye-opening evidence including:

-Financial ties between well-known vaccine promoters and the vaccine industry
-Outrageous collusion between the news media and Big Pharma
-How Big Pharma teaches slanted information to med students and doctors
-Government officials secretly admitting vaccines caused some cases of autism
-The first child seriously injured by Covid vaccines while in Pfizer's study
-The secretive money backing seemingly independent studies and nonprofits

JMG may find this interesting -

"The key to killing methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus -- also known as MRSA or golden staph -- may not be new-fangled treatments after all, but a treatment for an infected eyelash follicle found in a 1,000-year-old book.

The MRSA "superbug" is notoriously difficult to treat. Over the years, it developed resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics, which include common treatments like penicillin and its derivatives, cephalosporins, monobactams and carbapenems. It's also a particular problem in hospitals and nursing homes, where a high percentage of the population of which have open wounds and weakened immune systems.

Although new remedies, consisting of other drugs and antibiotics, are found and used, it is never long before newer strains of the bacteria emerge with new resistances to the treatments.

So the recipe -- taken from "Bald's Leechbook," one of the oldest known examples of a medical textbook --astonished researchers at the University of Nottingham when it killed up to 90 percent of MRSA bacteria in a laboratory setting.

The team decided to test the recipe -- consisting of garlic, leek, wine and bovine bile salts -- after microbiologist Dr Freya Harrison got talking with Anglo Saxon scholar Dr Christina Lee about the recipe. It reads as follows:"

Covid is ripping through the local SmallCity/LargeTown combination again. I have several friends with it, or suspected of having it (as in, "I'm sick after spending the weekend with my brother who tested positive on Monday, so probably it's Covid."). Definitely some are up to date on their shots, others I suspect are either abstaining from boosters or got no shots whatsoever. Funny how it hits right as the public schools open, isn't it?
Seems to have moved into the back-to-school virus niche pretty solidly, really. Guess that's probably not such good news for the old back-to-school colds!
Interestingly, I'm not seeing the advertising of fully-vaxxed status from illness sufferers this year who I am pretty are fully-vaxxed: it seems to just be understood that bragging won't make them feel better. I did see recommendations of paxlovid given to the most PMC person, which I would guess were from other PMC people. Her response was "Well, it's a three day weekend, everything's closed here" which I thought was a very interesting way to say "I'm avoiding paxlovid without saying I'm avoiding paxlovid because I am still a good person". (It's not nearly that rural here: there are pharmacies open on the holidays.)
Time to kick the kids outside for some extra vitamin D this week, I guess, so long as the wildfire smoke lets up enough.

From: [personal profile] mr_nobody1967
I recently developed a pretty standard cold that I suspect was a "Covid cold". The one time in 2022 where I developed a Covid-cold and verified it with a test, it differed from a rhinovirus cold in that instead of starting off with a slight dry tickle in my throat that became a full-throttle sore throat, I got the full-throttle sore throat right away. So I am inclined to suspect that full-throttle sore-throat colds are Covid-colds.

In a recent post here, I reported experiencing symptoms of a residual productive cough from a nasty case of bronchitis I developed in the wake of one of these suspected Covid-colds in November of last year, along with some brain-foggy fatigue that I developed shortly before Memorial Day this year. In the wake of recovering from this most recent cold, both symptoms got slightly worse. The brain-foggy fatigue doesn't necessarily interfere with my ability to function, but it got bad enough that I believe it interferes with my subjective quality of life.

So on my clinic's messaging-system, I told my doctor about these symptoms in advance of my upcoming appointment in two weeks. Truth be told, I don't have a whole lot of confidence in this particular physician (I ended up with her after my previous doctor moved on to another location, and I made two attempts to make an initial appointment with two different new physicians that got unilaterally nuked by the clinic until I ended up with this current doctor), and this experience is not atypical because, well, American doctors tend to be not very bright. And this, in turn, probably has something to do with the fact that Americans in general are not very bright. (Sorry, just my unavoidable impression from living in this country my entire life.) If the whole thing turns into a stupid argument about that blasted vaccine that I declined to get, then I suppose I'll just have to learn to live with these symptoms and hope that adding a petition for their healing to my daily prayers will be sufficient at some point.

This is the same doctor that I reported will soon be going on medical leave for three months, so there may be a remote chance (it really is better not to get your hopes up too much when it comes to the US "healthcare" system) that I may have an opportunity to discuss these symptoms that I believe may be Long Covid with a new physician. I'm only sharing this here because it's probably the only place on the Internet I frequent where it might be appropriate to share such a thing and I won't get bombarded by ill-considered and snotty comments from foolish people.

Hello fellow friend of Dorothy. I've come notice your involvement here and over at TAE and understand a bit of your life. I met my (now) husband in 1980 just as he was starting his last year of medicine.

His whole career was spent at a huge university-linked hospital. So I've been totally immersed in the "system" for 44 years. I've probably had more alcohol infused dinner conversations with medical specialists than doctors most people have ever met. They are not stupid but they have been shunted onto a side-rail, something the system enforces with ego, greed, pride and money. They've been given a world view that is incredibly narrow.

Of course they had to be smart enough to be allowed to apply for medicine at university, but believe me there is a profiling process that goes on that determines if you get in or not. Once in, it's hard to get pushed out.

Until we retired and moved to the country I was fascinated by how much the field was taken over by women. Now, here, I have a new GP, a woman, who touches her computer more than me, and in that case only through my shirt. She has been instilled with PMC methodology -- you can only manage what you measure, blood tests, blood pressure etc. -- and if you don't do what Mommy tells you, you're a bad little boy.

So it seems to me that now I know how the basis of profiling for acceptance of students into medicine is conducted.

If you will, accept my blessings for a full and peaceful life.

I live on the turning-to-rural fringe of my city (call it Multi-Jabopolis), where mainly I see people out biking or jogging and/or walking their dogs. I get downtown only once or twice a week. So this morning I went downtown again to do errands and take a coffee, and saw 4 people who could barely walk; they all seemed to have some neurologocal injuries, like advanced Parkinson's or something. Also I saw one man limping so badly, I would have to say he was lurching. Of course, without having spoken to them I have no idea why they have these troubles, but I never, never before the vax rollout, used to see so many pedestrians with such problems. I've lived here for some years.

I'm the one who commented on this in two previous week's forums. It's really a thing where I live, what can I say.

https://www.aamc.org/news/covid-surging-again-here-s-latest-new-variants-updated-vaccines-and-masking


I talked with a woman neighbor yesterday who has been especially frightened by Covid, probably because she appears to have legitimate COPD breathing issues. When I say "especially frightened," I mean she still wears a mask outside, year round. If I recall correctly, she had the original 2 from Pfizer, followed by 4 boosters and, surprisingly, asked my opinion about getting the latest booster.

I mention it, because she was surprisingly receptive when I gave her my opinion that the vaccines were too dangerous and never should have been released, prefaced by the fact that I used to trust most vaccines (annual flu, shingles, and when I was travelling into less developed tropical countries, which still have high rates of things like Hepititis, etc.)

From there I segued to all the natural things I now do routinely, from zinc to nasal washes to vitamin D, and don't know I have ever had Covid...but presume I caught it and killed it dozens of times with natural interventions.

I'm bringing all this up, because she was surprisingly receptive. Today I promised to show her a few of the things I use, including my TheraZinc throat spray and Netti pot. I have my fingers crossed I have her talked out of getting any more boosters, and I am even hopeful she may forego her scheduled annual flu shot this year! So, be patient, but continue to speak up quietly against medical corruption; I am hopeful a new day is coming.

The New Zealand COVID vaccine data shows that the shots make you more likely to die
Have you seen any analysis of the NZ data posted by any prominent epidemiologist showing it is safe? I haven't and it's been almost 1 year since I set the data free.

I spent a lot of time going through the NZ data. There was definitely a spike in mortality at the time the vaccine was rolled out. There is definitely silence from epidemiologists on it.

The trouble is, the same time as the vaccine rates were rising, NZ was coming out of lockdown and the covid deaths were rising.

Yes, they were high, probably due to a mixture of covid and vaccine, but they've dropped back, not to normal levels, but dropped back just far enough that there's no smoking gun.

Now there's a high rate of sickness, everyone seems sick, and sickness is worse than before, but interestingly, all vaccine mandates have been dropped, along with a lot of the advertising for the vaccines.

John, I think you should just stick something at the top, maybe as point #0, so nobody can claim they didn't see it:

"Nothing posted on this site should be construed as medical advice. Only licensed and accredited professionals are authorized to give medical advice . . ." Etc.

Something like that is probably good for the site as a whole, honestly. You could expand the disclaimer to cover a few other things, such as financial advice, lifestyle advice, etc. Just put something up there, and maybe even have people click off that they have read the disclaimer before letting them through to read. The latter might be more trouble than you want, but in these days of bots and AI scraping they might be advised anyway.

At this point, you've built up a bit of an empire of published works. One of the massive defects of the US is that per Dan Quail, 40+ years ago, the US has "70% of the world's lawyers . . ." and most of that 70% doesn't let something like morality stop them from grifting a contingency fee here and there.

I'm actually trying to get some stuff out of the country; that is how seriously I take the current arc of "progress".

Robert F. Kennedy Jr on the Real Reason Pediatricians Won't Accept You If You Don't (vax) Your Kids

"A typical pediatrician's office makes about 50% of its funding from vaccines. Not actually from selling the individual vaccines, but from the traffic...And pediatricians who vaccinate 80 or 85% of the kids in their office, get these giant bonuses...Huge amounts of money, hundreds of thousands of dollars that they make, making sure that 85% of the kids are vaccinated. And that's why they throw you out of the office if you fight back. It's not because they care so much about your particular kid, it's that you'll throw off the metrics and you'll lose them their bonuses."

This is mind-blowing.

Big Pharma is secretly “ghostwriting” articles in top medical and oncology journals to trick doctors into buying their drugs.

Here’s how the scam works:

First, pharma pays companies big money to ghostwrite studies that look legit.

Then, they approach doctors, offering them prestige in exchange for slapping their names on these ghostwritten studies.

Once published in top medical journals, these articles deceive other doctors into prescribing their drugs, believing the results are authentic.

This scheme tricks doctors into promoting treatments based on false research, driving up drug sales while putting patients at risk.

Watch Dr. Russell Blaylock explain. The “conspiracy theorists” were right again.

Elderberry (Sambucus Nigra)

Date: 2024-09-05 04:23 pm (UTC)

From: [personal profile] claire_58
And speaking of experimental archeology (history?). . .

Elderberry (Sambucus Nigra) wine for "medicinal purposes" was very popular among the old ladies in the 1960's and 70's when I was growing up. We always thought it was a "nudge, nudge, wink, wink" thing because it was not acceptable for women of that generation and class to drink alcohol except maybe a little sherry at Christmas.

But those old wives were pretty sharp. Apparently it is not only very effective for preventing colds and flu, research has shown that taking elderberry can reduce your viral load. Certain viruses like herpes (chickenpox/cold sores/shingles) are known to go dormant in your body. They hide from the immune system and flare up as soon as your system is weaken by stress, poor nutrition, sleeplessness, or whatever. Elderberry has been shown to reduce the frequency and severity of herpes outbreaks.

Well, I made the most amazing elderberry syrup from my own elderberries this summer. I have a steam juicer so it was quite easy although it does take a crazy amount of sugar. I think I can reduce that next time, or I may try elderberry liqueur. I've also heard that making jug wine using champagne yeast is very easy. I may try that too.

Growing elderberry is also quite easy, at least, it is in my part of the world. It's a large shrub (12-15 ft.)that can be easily managed from ground level with a small pruning saw. No ladders or power tools needed. It starts to produce in 4 or 5 years and the berries grow in clusters so they can be harvested quickly. Picking the berries off the clusters is a bit time consuming but it can be done sitting in the shade somewhere.

The syrup is a gorgeous deep purple colour. It makes a lovely summer cooler and could be used to make a festive martini for solstice parties and midwinter feasts.

I believe some people freeze the whole cluster and then separate the frozen berries from the stalks. I don't have personal experience but have heard that the stalks are mildly toxic/psychoactive and are not to be included in wines, etc.

"Updated shots."

Just pointing out another logical inconsistency in the narrative that shows the covid vaccines are pure junk science:

Dr Mike Yeadon says there is only a 0.3% difference from one variant to the next. Even after a dozen or so variants, all of these variants should still be 95% the same, and the one vaccine should work against all of them. There should be no need to constantly update the formulation of the injections.

So apart from the fear-mongering aspect, this is another purpose the scary variants narrative serves: to push the idea that the virus has changed so much that all previous vaccinations against it will no longer work, and that only the latest formulation booster shot will do.

I guess even the most hardcore vaccine believers would start to ask questions if they were having to take exactly the same formulation every six months or so.

This makes me wonder about the flu vaccine. We are told different strains of the flu virus comes around every season, and that therefore a different formulation is required each year. I wonder what the percentage variation between all of these different strains really is. Is this just another narrative device to keep people coming back for their annual flu shot?

Mortality stats

Date: 2024-09-05 07:06 pm (UTC)
From: [personal profile] boccaccio
I updated Dutch mortality stats. The data now run up and to Sept 1st (week 35).

Maybe good to say that I use an old file with the expected mortality per week that covers 2020-2023. I downloaded that file before the Dutch agencies started to tinker with the expected mortality (in other words pre-Coof estimations). For 2024 and later I simply extrapolate by assuming the same increase per year as from 2022 to 2023 (0.75%). With this background I only need the raw total number of deaths in each week and can circumvent the many manipulative and misleading interpretations. Usually the most recent weeks are revised upwards later as some deaths are being reported late, but overall it gives me a good overview of how mortality is moving. On Thursday I usually have the data till the Sunday before (like now till Sept 1st).

Having said that, my calculation of mortality up and to week 35 is as follows:
2020: 6.6% (whole year 9.0%)
2021: 4.4% (whole year 9.9%)
2022: 6.2% (whole year 9.1%)
2023: 5.8% (whole year 7.9%)
2024: 7.8%

You may notice that the whole year excess mortality is quite higher than the excess mortality till week 35. This is because excess mortality is mainly concentrated in October - January. I've mentioned this seasonal effect several times before in the past and speculated that it is indicative of immune-issues driving the excess mortality (more people than expected dying in the winter; note that the seasonal influence is already accounted for in the expected weekly mortality estimate).

With all this background the main conclusion is obvious: 2024 is so far the most deadly year since the beginning of the Coof. This is even so without taking into account the pull forward effect.
The chance that we will see record breaking mortality this winter is very high as I see no reason to assume that the pattern has shifted.

From: [personal profile] boccaccio
Addition: My last sentence was a bit too strong. The deadliest Q4 so far was in 2021 (Delta variant). Excess mortality back then was in the 30-40% range. If I make a prognosis just based on the numbers and nothing else I would estimate 20-30%. That would of course still lead to 2024 being the most lethal year and if I take into account the missing pull forward effect the situation is even worse. Of course this is just the trends in the numbers. So far we have seen several surprising turn of events that nobody saw coming, so don't count on this prediction to come true. As they say, expect the unexpected

Decline in autism rates in Marin County

Date: 2024-09-06 02:43 am (UTC)
From: (Anonymous)
Source: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32193763/

Marin County saw a decrease in autism rates from 2000-2020, which is the exact opposite of the trend everywhere else in the US. Basically a bunch of rich white people decided not to vaccinate their children. They didn't let their kids get the Measles Mumps Rubella vaccine, which has been discussed at length in the documentary Vaxxed and its sequels.

Mainstream media seems especially vitriolic about the rumour of low rates of autism among Amish children. The Amish are too reclusive for us to know what the rate truly is. The question becomes why the media are so quick to arrive at the conclusion the rumor could not possibly be true...

Wow, that's...a lot.

It's interesting to me that nobody seems enraged about other people choosing or not choosing vaccines when there's not a massive push going on in the media and social media.

Like the way the internet seems to push people on any political "side" to be very up in arms about whatever the issue of the day is, but if people are away from it for a while they can literally just have normal conversations with other people who disagree, or simply avoid topics they disagree about, instead of fighting.

For years, many people have parroted a lot of snark about "anti-vaxxers" but it was more like snidely looking down on someone, rather than acting like it was literal child abuse that would bring down western civilization. But it's gotten worse and worse online...

If I ever had a kid, would I even be legally allowed to live in the USA with them if I chose not to vaccinate when they're little? I'd honestly want them to be old enough to make their own choice, tbh. Not that I'm likely to ever have a kid, but it's something I've wondered about a lot.

(For context, I had a negative reaction to vaccination as a little kid. My mom was much more "hesitant" to vaccinate her kids young after that. My brothers, with less vaccination, both grew up really healthy. They are very strong even when they don't take the best care of themselves. Me, I do all the healthy stuff I can find, and I am still not strong. I have chronic health issues that keep me sidelined in a lot of ways. All of this is anecdotal, of course. But it doesn't seem like something as a society we're willing to study, non-anecdotally. The Amish thing should be worth a closer look, for once thing.)
