Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 181

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 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.
6. Please don't just post bare links without explanation. A sentence or two telling readers what's on the other side of the link is a reasonable courtesy, and if you don't include it, your attempted post will be deleted.
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.
Re: Warp speed start date
Date: 2025-01-24 03:31 pm (UTC)For a couple of months now, I've been noticing chest congestion that gets worse as the day goes on, and improves reliably once I spend a few hours at home. A low dose nicotine lozenge also seems to reduce symptoms when I'm at work. I have hated to believe it's shedding, but the anecdotal evidence seems to be growing....
(Btw, thanks so much for your contributions here. They have really sent me on a journey of discovery.)

Some quick points: Everyone has differently levels of susceptibility. My son who has had worst skin reactions, also started to see his blood sugar climb a couple of days before the other people in the family experienced the same. As I said - early warning system which we noticed and have taken advantage of.
Plus quite a few folks figured out the shedding issue early on, despite all the official protestations and denials. That offered a quick lesson on how much officialdom lies and how they operate, and also how pervasive the narrative programming is, which folks need to overcome as part of the learning/awakening process. My own sense is that the level of censorship during the initial months of the roll-out (almost 4 years ago now) was focused on nuking all discussions about vex injuries. So alt-forums on shedding were spared as many folks were able to contribute their own experiences and whatever remedies they had been trying to resolve their issues. So my contributions are the result of the amalgamation of many people's real life hard-earned experiences, plus a bit of refinement over time.
