While Matt stated some facts regarding climate, seasons, etc. there are many more facts proven by scientists and medical research experts. Is he one?
We are over 8 billion living on earth. Many of us have grandchildren whom we care about the future quality of life for. Yes life is short, but do we need to add avoidable pollutants, etc to the atmosphere and waters?
As for diseases and health, my mother was an R.N. who personally knew Dr Jonas Saulk who discovered the polio vaccine. Measles were non existing until uneducated parents quit having kid's immunized.
My mother in-law had shingles and it is excruciatingly painful. We both got the vaccine shots. We knew healthy in shape people who died of COVID-19 so we get boosters too.
I don't dissagree that too many drugs taken are good, and many have horrible side effects. Additional ones can be needed to counteract, and it's a catch 22 gamble. So do the best you can to control your weight, blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood glucose. An annual blood screening is necessary to monitor these. Many don't care, and all you have to do to see is it is to pass by a group of people waving flags, signs and selling the red items. Or dine in a restaurant.
In closing, too little knowledge can be dangerous. Ignorance can be bliss or deadly.
Vacerator/Mike, I've highlighed a few points you mentioned that caught my eye.
And sorry for this long reply....
First, No, I'm not some sort of medical expert or scientist, nor claim to be.
I am however quite educated and informed in a lot of subjects that interest me.
And no, I don't believe everything I hear or read, only fools and the gullible take things at face value.
Plus, after watching the changes that have gone on through the decades, I don't mind sharing what I've learned with others if it helps them understand the world we live in.
Of course, at times, I've gotten those stubborn/brainwashed types of people who insist that I'm some kind of delusional idiot, and the ones on this thread have shown their colors. - and they are free to do so, after all, I'm all about Freedom Of Speech. - In most cases, if not based on misinformation.
I've stated many times that I insist on living in and dealing with reality, not some widespread world of hype, propganda, lies, or misinformation.
Growing up, indeed, I got the early school-age shots for the various diseases.
Back then in the late 1950's-early 1960's, the Pharma empire was an honest and reputable thing we could trust.
However, as I see it, it now has expanded into a massive controlling influence over The People.
This to me speaks of greed, manipulation, forced dependence, among other evils.
My niece, now in her late 40's, is a long-time nurse at one of the major hospitals here.
She's enightened me to things going on in the medical field which only adds to what I've already researched previously.
And with that, she's got no reasons to lie or make up things, she wants me to live a long comfortable life and be happy.
Surely, everyone knows those annoying tv/radio commercials about all those "miracle drugs" and procedures being constantly marketed over and over at society.
Now tell me, is that really normal?
Indeed, some afflictions are valid ailments, my grandmother had a bad case of shingles in her senior years, I can only imagine the pain of having to live with it.
That Covid19 stuff was clearly a manipulating device with political roots.
Anyone with a clear head on their shoulders could see that clearly like looking through a freshly washed window.
And many people have died from it, particularly the elderly and weak, even after getting "the shot".
And who benefitted from it?
Big Pharm and the medical society!
And yes, as you mentioned, healthy people also succumbed to it's effects.
It appears to be a carefully planned out scheme to convince society to get the shot, get them on-board to long-term dependency in whatever way works.
Just like the Flue bug has done.
It's funny that I've always tended to stay away from hospitals and ignore advertized suggestions of medical treatments.
At 72, I'm still in reasonably good health, never getting involved with what others have been led or "conditioned" to believe.
While others, friends, have gotten on the bandwagon, and have lived less than normal lives - being dependent on pills and doctor visits.
True fact: My neighbor, a retired cop and widower, had a long-running illness of kidney problems for years.
He knew what was involved and took the proper procedures to deal with it.
Along came that Covid monster, and he got scared and turned into a recluse.
His niece moved in to tend to the house and did the shopping.
The rare time he'd go anywhere was to his doctor for a checkup.
Oddly, within a short time, he became ill and went downhill, and died from kidney failure, as his cop son was told, and was documented on the death certificate, which I saw.
A few months later, the son received news that the hospital sent in false info stating death as from Covid, which we all knew was a bunch of crap.
because the hospital benefitted from a juicy payment for stating that nonsense.
The son immediately started a lawsuit, I haven't spoken to the son since, because the house has been sold, so I don't know the outcome.
This is part of the manipulation and corruption going on these days.
The few on here implying that I spout jibberish about things - take a hike!
