Would You Get the Covid-19 Vaccine?

[gsjackson]

Well, the Supreme Court has often ruled that fundamental rights in the Constitution CAN be abridged, limited, or curtailed if certain conditions are met:

-That the government articulates compelling state interests in curtailing the rights
and
-The curtailments are narrowly tailored to meet those compelling state interests.

In my view, this does not mean forcing people to take shots (unless one is in the military or prison). But, it can mean preventing access to schools or other physical access to preserve public safety.

99.9% of idiots will be free to refuse the vaccine and die off as a Darwinian consequence. But the smart people will take it as a normal part of their preventative health care.

The central tenet of my preventative health care -- something I have paid careful attention to since having the good fortune of a Seventh Day Adventist 5th grade teacher -- is stay away from doctors. It has served me very well for almost 70 years. They have their areas of competence -- acute trauma, switching out body parts, some antibiotics -- but anybody who thinks that the current array of vaccinations reflects medical competence simply isn't paying attention. Most people who live long lives take a similar approach. I had a landlady in Prague who at age 62 hadn't been to doctors 10 times in her life, and she never had health problems.

The new trend of personalized medicine is on target. It's a rejection of the one-size-fits-all approach of Dr. Fauci. I do fine staying away from the health care system. My sister, on the other hand, is virtually a ward of the medical state, having had open heart surgery at age 11 and endless dealings with the system ever since. She needs her doctors as a security blanket, as many people do, and who am I to deny them that. Beliefs play a very important role in health or lack thereof.

And anybody who thinks Darwinian evolution is currently resulting in a survival of the most intelligent clearly isn't spending enough time in the U.S.

I’m not sure I can agree. I think regular check ups, both medical and dental are a key to wellness. In fact, during a routine colonoscopy screening, it was discovered that had sleep apnea last year. Had that not been discovered, I might not be alive today because it was causing my blood pressure to be high.

I do get your point because an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. But to the point of a Coronavirus vaccine, my extensive international airline travel means that I would be a fool not to take it as a precaution. Buttressing one’s immune system is all the more important in the second half of life.

To your point about lack of Darwinian survivorship in the USA, the paradigm has shifted with this Coronavirus so you might find it to be more at play now more than ever before.

This is my strategy too. Unfortunately it turned out to be wrong on one occasion, but other than that it has worked well.

I'm curious as to the logic of this diagnosis. Did this have to do with waking up from anesthesia, or do you mean endoscopy?

The former. Not breathing correctly caused me to briefly wake up about 3 times during the procedure. They were freaking out because my BP temporarily spiked up to as much as 200 due to lack of oxygen intake. All that is in the past now. CPAP cured all that and the BP is lower than average for my age without any need for meds. That is why I stay on @Winston about the CPAP.

It can be very hard knowing when they can and can't be helpful. A couple of examples:

Forty years ago I developed a skin condition called pitoriasis rosea. I didn't have any large reservations about doctors then, the diagnosis was straightforward, I took the prescribed medication and it cleared right up. I'm not sure I'd have the balls to take the drug today, but unless my system is less able to tolerate it now, it would probably be a mistake to pass it up.

A counter-example. Eight years ago I had a branch retinal vein occlusion, which left blood all over the retina and my visual acuity in the eye went from 20/20 to 20/200. The retina specialist from hell wanted to put nine injections of Lucentis into my eye. I researched the issue as best I could, decided people who got the injections were essentially guinea pigs helping to create a large new revenue stream for eye doctors, and never saw a retina specialist again about it. The eye cleared up in a couple months and eventually 20/20 returned. My sister got the same thing a year and a half ago, let the retina specialist do his thing -- injections, steroids, constant traumatization of the eye -- and she's essentially blind in that eye now.

All you can do is research the issue, with a general guideline that a healthy body will heal itself, though not always. Don't neglect the healthy body part, though, and that's a day-in day-out endeavor.

March 20, 2020: The Outer Limits "The Vaccine" - Go home!

This episode of the Outer Limits from 1998 entitled "The Vaccine" reminds me of the shortages of coronavirus test kits. A doomsday cult releases a man-made virus around the world, killing most of the global population. A group of thirteen survivors guarantying themselves in a hospital receive a vaccine, but only enough for three people who meet a certain criteria.

At 0:50 while watching a news report, a nurse speculates that the incubation period for this virus is 2 weeks (coincidence?). The other nurse asks "What if it's airborne?" A man in a bio hazard suit shouts "Go home!" to an impatient and angry crowd in front of a hospital. The narrator says, "Along with futures we dare not imagine..."

As you know I don't trust the financial system that runs the world, and yes they are the ones doing this. Should they depopulate with their toxins ? probably and administered by the good doctor they have trained.

[HappyGuy]

I don't trust the financial system

You're telling me you don't trust good honest bankers

Leaked "FunVax" Religion Vaccine Presentation at the Pentagon from 2005

This is a stunning presentation by a scientist given to DoD officials inside the Pentagon. The scientist describes a plan to control Middle Eastern populations with a vaccine that alters the part of the brain allegedly responsible for human spirituality and religious beliefs. Included is the now-defunct FunVax documentary trailer & a FunVax music video.

It seems silly to risk taking a vaccine for a version of the common cold that is asymptomatic half the time.

Coronavirus is not the common cold. People don't die of the cold.

I will take my Coronavirus Vaccine as soon as it is offered.
