Some of my blog posts are spurred by email threads with friends. (Apologies to my friends:)
My friend said:
"The real trick is to get the lower educated masses to get their shots.
I had lunch in a popular small town restaurant a week ago--wall to wall crowd, no masks."
To which I replied:
Ah, the pleasures of the small things, like dining out. Still, it's nice to find outdoor seating if possible.
I know some anti vaccers, they are all health nuts, health vegans and xtreme paleos. Another huge group of anti-vaccers is moms. And I have a friend, a nurse practitioner of some 5 decades experience, who avers almost 50% of health care practitioners did not want the vacc. I wouldn't say any of these folks are uneducated.
Do the uneducated follow the news less avidly? Can't say I know, but if not it would still be difficult to ignore this time. I wouldn't say I'm uneducated exactly, but I have always ignored the yearly vacc campaigns, this is the first vacc I've had in four plus decades.
Why are some of the health nuts against vacc? Because they are against putting anything in their bodies that isn't food. Health nuts don't consider fractured substances (junk food etc) food, they are toxins. All drugs are toxic. All vacc is toxic. Anything but quality whole foods is toxic. What defines quality? Doug Graham says it's 5 things: whole, fresh, ripe, raw, organic, not in any particular order. When shopping look for the highest sum of these 5 qualities
The reason the US had the worst covid rates in the world isn't because we mismanaged the pandemic. It's because our population is the sickest in the developed world (and most of the rest of the world too).
Managing a pandemic is mostly a myth propagated by China and big pharma in the west. There are common sense things that can and should be done, we know what they are, it's not complicated. But how do you stop a tidal wave in its tracks? The answer is you don't. You channel protective resources to the vulnerable populations. You don't lock down an entire population, that's just dumb.
There are many many many virologists and epidemiologists who are saying this lock down will prove to be the biggest public health policy error ever. There are already many signs of that, if these public health scientists are correct, there are more to come.
Most of how this pandemic was handled by governments would not have been possible without censorship. There has never been this level of censorship in the US. Not even close. Meanwhile, FOX, CNN, MSNBC and other major media outlets are all politicised to the point of absurdity. I don't know how people watch this stuff. Maybe they are addicted to the big pharma commercials? Hoping to find the new magic pill to cure what ails?
Meanwhile the ratio of pharmacology to health, individually and collectively, is negative. WAAY negative. There is zero proof in this puddin. Did you know the US is the only country in the world that allows direct to consumer pharmacology advertising?
As corrupt as the big banks were prior to the crash of 2008, it pales in comparison to the corruption of Big P. The public gets fuxxed over and over, and where's our government? In the pocket of Wall St, which BTW makes a killing (literally and figuratively) on (and with) Big P.
Hey let's all move to Sweden, 10 million people in the landmass of California (which has 40 million). Think we'll all fit?
