We are now into the fifth 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 all these 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 remain 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; 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.
7. Please don't post LLM ("AI") generated text. This is a place for human beings to talk to other human beings, not for the regurgitation of machine-generated text. Also, please don't discuss large language models (the technology popularly and inaccurately called "artificial intelligence" these days) except as they bear directly on the Covid phenomenon. Here again, my finger is hovering over the delete button.
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.

Date: 2026-02-10 06:01 pm (UTC)I re-read the original hypothesis, and five years later it still seems that denial and distraction are the order of the day. Sickness and death among people I know seem to have taken an uptick compared to pre-vax times, but at a modest rate such that it's not easily disentangled from the normal aging process of the Boomer generation.
This is a better outcome than you originally hypothesized, but the emotional toll is still heavy for me. It's the loss of trust in institutions and in extended social networks that has me feeling adrift and directionless.
I work as an assistant at a naturopathic clinic now, and the most common ailments I see coming through our doors are chronic stress and lack of sleep. I'm relatively young and theoretically I have more to be stressed about, but it's middle-aged and retired people too who are feeling the heaviness.
Just putting this out there to see if anyone else is experiencing similar vibes.

While you may be able to prove an uptick in age-adjusted death rates, it's hard to to tease jab injury out from other factors like increased stress, or the impact of a bad economy on people's health and nutrition habits, or less access to medical care in situations where mainstream medicine actually could help, or some combo of factors.
I also find the emotional toll heavy. Most of the people I know seem to want to move on and forget cooties-19, but I can't forget the way most of them acted. That will always stay with me.
So yes, I'm feeling the heaviness, even as I do my best to focus on productive/positive action in my own life.

I too feel, as you write, that "It's the loss of trust in institutions and in extended social networks that has me feeling adrift and directionless."
I'm doing well, I have a good game plan, and I am quite optimistic for myself, but I cannot say that it's been easy. This forum has been a huge help.

Date: 2026-02-10 06:49 pm (UTC)The incentive/punishment structure was designed. The purpose of a system is what it does. And most of us, at least a tiny bit, are culpable in silence. We do not put in the work, and risk, of correctly phrasing our experiences and knowledge bases with others. People fear ostracism. And swindlers need to control against those who would organize others against the game.
Special interests using the government as cover, both during and after a theft, has a long history in western civ. I would include internment camps, Indian reservations, and mining super-fund sites within this category.

Week 230
Date: 2026-02-10 07:25 pm (UTC)Strange times. And I have an especially strange sense of things right now. On the astral it feels to me like a tsunami combined with an earthquake combined with a hurricane.
Well, this too shall pass.

Anyway, they're not actually asking Yours Truly any questions, other than, if I'm not careful, "did you get vaccinated?" Hey, try asking me my social security number on a public bus at rush hour.

Smallpox, Leprosy, Disease as Defilement, Quarantine as Social Control
Date: 2026-02-10 09:43 pm (UTC)One highlight of the essay, is a discussion of the old Greek** idea of illness as "defilement" and quarantine of (say) lepers - who could be "asymptomatic" - as religious control of populations - and how the system did not fade, but adapted as religious ideas gave way to more materialist ones.
However, I was particularly struck by the following very revealing passage - and therefore quote it in full:
QUOTE
"The Reclassification Machine
"The introduction of variolation, and later vaccination, against smallpox created a problem that has never been resolved. When people who had been variolated or vaccinated subsequently developed the very symptoms that would previously have been called smallpox, the response was not to question the procedure. It was to look for minute differences in symptoms that could justify a different diagnosis.
"This is the mechanism by which the single, broad term “smallpox” — which had encompassed all conditions accompanied by rashes — was progressively fractured into an expanding list of separate labels: chickenpox, measles, monkeypox, scarlet fever, rubella, herpes, erythema multiforme, molluscum contagiosum, impetigo, dermatitis, and others. Each new label absorbed cases that would formerly have been counted as smallpox. Each new label also became its own revenue stream — with its own drugs, therapies, and vaccines.
"The people who architect these systems know what they are doing. The timing is not ambiguous. New diagnostic labels appear precisely when vaccination failures need to be concealed. Diagnostic criteria are rewritten on specific dates to coincide with vaccine rollout. The WHO’s own publications document the diagnostic confusion — the first chapter of Smallpox and Its Eradication contains a long list of conditions with which smallpox was confused at the time of diagnosis, and acknowledges that smallpox could not be diagnosed on symptoms alone [1] — but the confusion was not an unfortunate side effect. It was the mechanism. Each new label absorbed cases that would have exposed the vaccine as ineffective, and each new label generated its own pharmaceutical market. The reclassification was not institutional drift. It was engineered."
