The great pretending is the most difficult breach. It is the one I confront daily. Whether it is my mother's 84 year old cousin in the hospital being tested for "Covid" or a friend's new grandchild who 'got her vaccines' today or a friend trying out a new drug that the doctor has recommended--I am daily presented with what I consider an authenticity challenge. Am I forced in on the pretend or do I blather in like some blowhard? Is there a middle ground? That's the one I am always searching for. I don't want to add to someone's pain or give unsolicited advice or pretend enthusiasm for something I find horrifying. This is the challenge I never anticipated facing.
Absolutely! A certain female doctor friend of mine confided that her daughter at age 20 apparently "contracted" adult onset epilepsy shortly after the Vaxx. Of course mother and daughter are fully vaxxed per medical profession mandates. I was torn about bringing it up, but I had to give her my opinion. Not sure how she took it. She probably thinks I'm just old and crazy, which, arguably, I am as well. What're ya gonna do?
All trust in the “medical profession” has been lost.
I switched my Medicare to SCAN and already I am being inundated with packets to fill out so I can run to the doctor where they will run their labs and tell me I need this or that blood pressure med or statin for my cholesterol level or an arthritis med for my painful back.
No thanks. I don’t trust ANY of these BigPharma snakeoil salesman who tried their best to make me take the “safe and effective” jab.
I hope Dr. Jay Batacharya gets in to the NIH/CDC. Maybe he can pound some real science into their money-grubbing, evil lying heads.
Yes Janos! They pass you around like a $3 whore, to every "specialist" there is, and they all bill the insurance companies or Medicare, for a $50 "visit".
Yes. Also, am reminded of my parents saying that's closing the barn door after the horse has left. If someone mentions they've had one vax, I say and you are done with all that, yes? But if I find they've had five, what's the point?

Yes, I've given up on yearly medical checkups. It's just giving them a blank check to try and use me to make money. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Sorry for the pithy reference ladies, but it's the equivalent of a medical gangbang.
It is.
I think in that case I would have said something too!
Couldn't agree more. Mostly I keep my mouth shut, but that feels like the worst kind of censorship - self censorship.

I think the intent is to be like the flu shot, updating every year according to the latest strain.
Here is the rub, updating every year? With something that has been shown to alter cellular structure permanently? Talk about inviting disaster.
