Thought:

Screaming “GET YOUR BOOSTERS!” at a population that is quite obviously reluctant is really bad policy.

I say that as a former 7th grade teacher.

If your target population is showing reluctance it is YOUR JOB to find out why. Stop gaslighting, start researching.
I haven’t gotten boosters & I have a very good reason.

#LongCovid makes the vax intolerable for me.

But no one bothered to ask.

They just judge & gaslight w/zero data, interest, or compassion.

Which tells me one thing: I don’t matter to health officials & I am expendable.
I’ve been vaxed for yellow fever, hep a, hep b, typhoid, rabies, flu, pneumonia, measles/mumps/rubella, and shingles with zero problem.

The covid mRNA vax makes me feel like I am 5 minutes from death for over two solid weeks.

Why does the gov say this is a problem about ME?
The 1st quiz I ever gave7th graders (as a student teacher) was failed by 18 out of 24 students.

I did not scream “STUDY HARDER!” at them.

Becuz that level of student failure = obviously my fault. I did not teach the material well.

So I asked them how I should teach it better.
Because that’s what you do when you are a leader.

It is your JOB to help. It is NOT your job to blame others without listening/trying to understand.

At least not in a democracy, where leadership jobs in government only exist because of the social contract.

You work for us.
Reminder: consent of the governed.
And in preparation for the dude who will now scream “YOU DON’T HAVE LONG COVID YOU HAVE A VAX INJURY!!!!!” at me (again):

I have had #longcovid since early March 2020. I got my vax—both of them, because I was being compliant (and an idiot with jab 2) in April/May 2021.
To clarify, I believe the following things:

1. Some people have #LongCovid or #LongCovidKids

2. Some people are #vaxinjured

3. #1 & #2 ARE NOT “in competition”/DO NOT prove the “nonexistence” of each other. That’s 💯 politics.

4. Some LC ppl cannot tolerate the mRNA vax.

Why “herd immunity” will never work for SARS2 🧵

(North America)

1. It’s a zoonotic disease that has already spread to wild mice, deer, NYC sewer rats, cats, dogs, etc.

2. Even IF every single human being in North America somehow became “immune” to current SARS2 today,

1/8
it’s an RNA virus, which means it will continue to mutate forever (like influenza) at a relatively rapid rate. This INCLUDES mutating in animal populations, such as deer.

3. If even 1 deer with a SARS2 variant that evolved distinctly in the N. American deer population is

2/8
shot & butchered & that “deer variant” jumps into and infects the hunter doing the butchering—& that hunter sneezes in Denny’s, kisses his kids, etc—we start all over again w/SARS2 spread between humans. With a variant humans ARE NOT (theoretically) “immune to” or vaxed for.

I thought this might be a good time to bring this up again. I personally addressed this statement with POTUS at the time. Over 50% of US covid deaths in August were in vaccinated people. Which he likely knew when he made this statement on Oct. 25th.
I am a lifelong Democrat. But I’m also a human being. Americans are not safe under this type of leadership.
This was Day One of “Biden becomes an official anti-masker,” as far as I can tell.

If you asked me to make a list of the top 50 problems I’ve had this year, ALL OF THEM WOULD BE:

“A human being behaving like an asshole and/or idiot for ego reasons.”
And then I get judged/deemed “crazy” for avoiding people.

Who is the real “crazy” person? The person who deliberately creates chaos due to their personal insecurity/unquenchable emotional needs or the person who walks away?
Honestly, I don’t think people see me as a human being. They don’t.

Maybe NOBODY sees ANYBODY as a human being.

Are ALL “human relationships” transactional? Is that the true mystery of life? We’re all just accessories in someone else’s reality show starring THEM?

I was recently reminded that “Benadryl causes dementia.” As someone w/#longcovid who would not be alive today w/out Benadryl because US healthcare does not give a shit about #LongCovid, I’d like to counter with this from “psychiatrists.” Nov. 3, 2022. psychiatrist.com/news/nose-pick…
If American society, healthcare, and government continues on this path of covid denial and #LongCovid gaslighting/denial, no one in this country will live long enough to develop dementia.
I’m so relieved, btw, to see “psychiatrists” focusing on the “key issues of the day” in November 2022. We should all get on our knees in gratitude for their contributions to today’s most pressing social ills. Forget mass social denial of a BSL3 pathogen. Nose picking solved. 👍

Quick natto update for anyone interested. About 4.5 weeks in now & my vision is better than it’s been in years (even pre-covid). Just noticed that today. I cleaned my kitchen today (!) & even went upstairs/downstairs twice. Ears unblocked all day + zero tinnitus. 💪
I also want to say that @dbdugger said that if you take natto you should not take aspirin at the same time. He can explain why but I *think* he said aspirin causes clots to release when stuck which is not good when taking natto at the same time. Hopefully he can pop in 2 explain
My dosage is 100mg (2000fu) twice daily. I started much higher and had some anxiety & itching which are both normal sensitivity reactions for me. So I went with a lower dose more often vs. one big dose. I started at 10,000fu every 48 hours.
