I had no vaxxes and no symptoms of anything—not even a cold—for several years during the Covid period.
I was anti-vaxx even when it was a leftists hippy “back to nature” thing.
I trust modern medicine as far as I can throw it.
It is neck deep in conflict of interest and self dealing—along with perverse incentives.
When we caught the coof, we caught it from someone who was vaxxed.
Something to think about...
When I was a kid, our doctor worked for us.
There was a huge scandal if a doc wanted to buy into a lab or a radiology practice.
It wasn’t allowed.
Now all of the people we see work for a health system.
We are called patients, but we’re not the people paying them.
Our providers all work for someone else.
And CoupFlu made it very clear that if there’s a choice to be made between what’s best for the patient or what’s best for the health system generating the provider’s paycheck, the patient loses.
Note to anyone from the admin lurking:
We need to make it possible for providers to go independent again.
Change insurance regs, malpractice law, tax law so that anyone who wants to get out from under a health system is free to do so.
And we need to make far more slots available in medical schools, especially for general practice.
MAHA so far is off to a great start, but without reforming the rest of the mess, it will never succeed.
OK, I guess I know one person (online) now. I still wonder where they got so many never had covid people in Italy.
