Shall We Make a Deal?

Now that we are a few more weeks into the accelerating Covid-Jab Mandates & Passports, let's check in to see how we’re all doing. 


Personally I know folks who got coerced to get the jab. Not out of fear of Covid, but out of the fear of losing their jobs, their health insurance, and/ or their retirement. They have kids, so they couldn't take the risk of losing this security for their family. So they went against their own best overall sense of things, they went against their best intuition, and they took the jab.


People are being coerced into taking a jab to which nobody knows the long-term consequences.


It is not my concern about whether or not you did or did not take the jab. I respect that that is up to you, and no-one else. The ones closest to you, the ones that you love and that love you, should have some say. But, in the end, it is your choice, and yours alone.


I am, however, growing increasingly frustrated that our society is somehow normalizing the coercion of others to take the jab.


To stress again, I continue to share my own personal reasons to not take the jab not to get you to question the jab, but to get you to question the Covid-Jab Mandates and Passports. Whether or not you agree with any of my personal reasons to refuse the jab, I pray that you can begin to see how an intelligent person can make an informed and respectable choice to not take it. And that everyone is entitled to make their own choice.



There is only one argument that I have heard that I believe comes even close to having any validity in regards to the coerced Covid injections. And that is that society needs to reduce the impacts on our healthcare systems from Covid. And that in the short-term, the jabs do seem to suppress symptoms. So the argument goes that a higher percentage of jabbed people within our population could potentially relieve some stress on our over-burdened health-care systems in the short-term. 


Of course, this argument is undermined incredibly by the notion that we should fire healthcare workers for not getting jabbed. If our health-care systems are over-burdened, the very last thing we should even consider is firing employees that have been working hard on the front lines of Covid for the last year and half. In a sane and decent society, this would be a obvious choice. 


To which the mainstream narrative responds: “but the un-jabbed are the ones who are responsible for the bulk of transmission and for the evolution of the variants. Of course we don’t want un-jabbed health-care workers.”


If someone can show me actual scientific evidence of this narrative being even remotely true, please do let me know. Otherwise, please drop it.


If you don’t want to believe me when I say that the Jabbed can transmit the virus, maybe you’ll listen to Fauci:   Dr. Fauci on COVID-19 spread: Vaccinated people who have an... infection are capable of transmitting


Let’s get this straight: what Fauci is saying is that the Jabbed are less likely to show symptoms, but if infected, are just as contagious as the Un-Jabbed. 


But if they are less likely to show symptoms, does it not also follow that they are less likely to know they are infected?


So let’s just think about this for a second.

Let's say that two nurses have been infected with Covid. One jabbed. One un-jabbed.

The un-jabbed nurse is showing symptoms. The jabbed nurse isn’t.

Therefore the un-jabbed nurse is more likely to know that they are sick. That nurse is more likely to stay home, start the early treatment protocols, try to get better, and therefore not infect anyone else.

 

Which nurse do you want treating you for a broken leg in a hospital? 

Personally, I want the un-jabbed nurse taking care of me, as they are more likely to know if they are infected. They are more likely to know if they are contagious. 

Which do you want taking care of you in a hospital?


Please note that this last thought experiment doesn't just apply to nurses who may take care of you in a hospital, but to each and every individual that you meet.

 


As far as the burden on our healthcare system, I have a friend who is an ER doctor in a hospital in KY, who notes how overwhelmed their hospital's care systems are right now because of Covid. I do understand that. And I do not want to contribute to this problem.

 

The first thing to say here is that it is way past time to talk about Covid early treatment options - the type of treatments that helped prevent many states within India from descending into a medical catastrophe: https://www.hindustantimes.com/cities/lucknow-news/33-districts-in-uttar-pradesh-are-now-covid-free-state-govt-101631267966925.html

 

Uttar Pradesh is an incredibly densely populated state within India with ~2/3 the population of the entire US in an area smaller than Oregon. They are now close to being Covid-free.


Less than 35% of their population has received at least one dose of the jab. This is almost half of the US’s present rate of 64% having received at least one dose. Yet, with these comparatively low jab-rates, they have almost become Covid-free.


How is that possible? We were told that everybody had to be jabbed for Covid to disappear here so we can all go back to normal. Isn't that now the mainstream narrative (after a number of "moving-of-the-goal-posts")?

 

Is the US Mainstream “News” even asking questions about Covid-free Indian states - just a few months after the same "News" was insisting that India was a sign of what is to come for us - warning us all that this proved that we all had to hurry up and get jabbed?

 

This is one possible explanation for Uttar Pradesh's reduction in Covid: https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/lucknow/uttar-pradesh-government-says-ivermectin-helped-to-keep-deaths-low-7311786/

 

Does the mainstream narrative have a better explanation for Uttar Pradesh's success with Covid other than this Indian state's use of Ivermectin as prophylaxis and early treatment? Does anyone have a better explanation?


On the contrary, both our Mainstream "News" and our "top medical authorities" simply ignore the success with Covid that many Indian states have achieved, and instead they demonize Ivermectin. They are putting lives at risk with this embarrassing and reckless behavior.


I'm not going to say that is is as embarrassing and reckless as the whole "Iraq has Weapons of Mass Destruction" fiasco only because it's so hard to compare, and because it's perhaps too early to tell how full-blown this catastrophe will be in its wake.

  


If we truly wanted to reduce the burdens on our healthcare systems, we would:


  1. Stop firing healthcare workers based on their jab status.

  2. Adopt widespread use of Covid Early Treatment protocols to keep people out of our hospitals.

 

These are the top priorities in reducing the burden on our healthcare systems.



However, I am still willing to go one step further here. I am willing to make a deal:

 

As an un-jabbed person, I am willing to forego the use of any hospital or emergency care facility if I get sick from Covid and need medical help.

 

But the deal would be:  that if the situation here in the US follows England's trend, where Covid becomes less and less a disease of the un-jabbed, and it eventually got to the point where it was more a disease of the jabbed - that those jabbed are also willing to forego the use of any hospital or emergency care facility if they get sick from Covid and need medical help in such a potential future.

 

They would only have to forego care if there was evidence that the tables truly had turned, and that the hospitalizations and deaths of the jabbed were higher than their representative proportion of the country.

 

Before making that deal, I recommend that everyone really pores over the data coming out of England that is available to all. I’ve added the most recent data that was just released by Public Health England on Friday September 17th, 2021 to my previous chart.

 

Spot any trends? What do you say? Shall we make a deal?




The data for the chart above comes from Public Health England’s regular Technical Briefings “SARS-CoV-2 Variants of Concern and Variants Under Investigation”. Table 5 data from Briefings #17, #19, #21, #22, & #23 was entered into the following spreadsheet to 1) segregate out the most recent data, and 2) to calculate percentages:      PHE Data through #23



I would imagine that seeing the trend in the chart above would make someone question whether or not to get jabbed at all. But once again, that choice should be entirely up to you.


Within most specific age brackets in England other than the youngest few, there is still a benefit from getting jabbed in regards to lessening hospitalization and death. Someone might see that benefit and choose to get jabbed.


On the other hand, someone might see that short-term benefit, and weigh it against the potential short- and long-term risks that come both from the jab and from the subsequent boosters that seem to be coming down the pike. (Israel is already talking about their citizens getting their fourth jab).


What are the long-term consequences of getting multiple boosters? Once again, nobody knows.


Someone might also weigh the short-term benefits of taking the jab now against what seems like a very clear trend-line for the longer-term risks that England's data reveals.


Personally, I choose not to get jabbed. I choose not to hand over the future of my immune system to the pharmaceutical industry. I choose to go the route that many poor nations and states around the world have gone, and use early treatment protocols if I get sick.


If you don't want to do the same, if you choose, or have chosen, to get the jab, that is completely fine with me. I am not trying to get you to question your decision for yourself. I recognize that this is a very complicated choice to make. All of the risks and benefits have to be weighed relative to one's own very personal medical history.


However, what I very much want you to question is our society’s increasing normalization of coercing others to take the jab. That has to stop. 

It is past time to question the mainstream narrative

It is now time for us to take a stand for people's right to choose - regardless of what choice we make.


Health and happiness to you all.

Thanks for your time and attention.

Take care



P.S. I welcome fact-checks, but please don't bother sending me some "fact check" that you took one minute to google and then only took seconds to actually read, and somehow missed that the "fact check" is two and half months old - so not relevant at all to the data to which I include in my chart on England's recent Delta Hospitalizations and Deaths.


P.S.S. Also please note that if you want to convince me to get jabbed, go ahead. Just note that I am setting a higher bar here for you than that. You don't need to convince me that I should get jabbed. You need to convince me that it is somehow OK for everyone to be coerced to get jabbed. Please understand that it's the higher bar you need to meet here.


And regarding Ivermectin in India, I am also setting a higher bar for you. You need to not only seed doubt that it was Ivermectin that reduced Covid harm in Uttar Pradesh, you need to 1) prove what otherwise accounts for their success in treating Covid, and 2) prove that it's not worth at least trying here. It was tried in a state with 2/3 of the US population with success and no drawbacks. Therefore the onus is on you to prove that it would somehow be dangerous or otherwise different to try it here.


With all of that said, have at it.

This will allow more people to follow the threads. I will moderate the comments to ensure an open, fair and courteous conversation, because I see what happens elsewhere on the internet and I am not so insane as to think it couldn't happen here.
