One of the things that COVID and the vaccines have brought to the fore is the fact that, even in the third decade of the 21st century, as the Book of Common Prayer says, “in the midst of life, we are in death.” In the modern age, it’s been easy to forget that fact. But what if it’s government or other third-party dictates that are forcing that death upon us, rather than our free choice as citizens in a supposed free country. What then?
In Moby Dick, Herman Melville wrote about rope, specifically the ropes attached to harpoons. A whale would be sighted, the men would row out, and harpoons would start flying. Since ropes were attached at one end to the harpoon and at the other end to the boat, this endeavor could end with a boat being dragged with all hands to the bottom of the sea or towed out of sight, never to be seen again. Melville mused that we all live with whale lines wrapped around us, for life is inherently dangerous:
All are born with halters round their necks; but it is only when caught in the swift, sudden turn of death, that mortals realize the silent, subtle, ever present perils of life. And if you be a philosopher, though seated in the whale-boat, you would not at heart feel one whit more of terror, than though seated before your evening fire with a poker, and not a harpoon, by your side.
Personally, I think he was right about that. However, most people would prefer their cozy corner to a rowboat under the shadow of a whale. It’s all about risk and how much risk a person is willing to tolerate. No one should be forced to take a risk they don’t want to.

An editor should have trimmed off the first three paragraphs. It would have been appreciated.
If any female wants to have the anti androgen on hand recommended by Kory if you are in hospital...and you have chin hair..ask your GP for a script
It shouldn’t be a world of whale-ropes, where the wrong choice costs you your life.
When COVID first started, the left was howling about how every death was on the heads of those who refused to wear masks or social distance.
When the vaccine became available, the left howled that every single death was on the heads of those who refused to get vaccinated.
Now people who are dying from the vaccine... oh they don’t count. It’s JUST 150K out of millions. Small price to pay for safety and all.
I DESPISE hypocrites.
As do I.
Worse than that...their hypocrisy is killing people.
I did not realize that Wilson’s was the J&J shot.
So, no mRNA and still this thrombosis reaction.
I had hoped that the J&J “adenovirus” was a better delivery system, but perhaps not.
An unvaccinated friend of mine who recently had Covid, was in a fusion center receiving antibodies intravenously. There were ten others in the room getting the same treatment. All had received a vaccine.
The ‘vaccine’ does not come with a warning of side effects or risk. They’ve lied about it being ‘rigorously tested’ and “safe” and “effective”. Did this woman hear anything about risk?
The introduction isn’t worth that sentence. It can go as well.
Every drug commercial has a voice over stating the side effects. Even drugs for toes fungus, but not for experimental, gene altering Covid vaccines. They are ‘safe and effective’ period end of argument. We live in a surreal time.
