Coronavirus Pandemic: Apocalypse Now! Or exaggerated scare story?

[Ursus Minor]

Hungary’s plans to import and possibly use Russia’s touted Sputnik V COVID-19 vaccine raise safety concerns and could damage trust in potential shots, the European Commission said, opening a new front in the EU’s fraught relations with Budapest.

Hungarian plans to conduct trials of and possibly produce the Russian vaccine, an unprecedented step for an EU member state, add to existing frictions with Brussels.

Asked about these plans, a spokesman for the Commission, the EU’s executive, said: “The question arises whether a member state would want to administer to its citizens a vaccine that has not been reviewed by EMA.”

Under EU rules, Sputnik V must be authorised by the European Medicines Agency before it can be marketed in any state of the 27-nation bloc, EMA said.

Were you exempted of wearing a mask for health reasons?

I do not have an official exemption only my own resolution based on Dr. Mikovits and others that wearing a mask is highly detrimental to at risk persons - autoimmune compromised such as myself. I currently have activated Epstein-Barr virus. Will wearing a mask exacerbate that into full-blown Chronic Fatigue syndrome? Having just gotten an operation to cure chronic debilitating anemia, I do not want to get CFS! I also had an episode of Guillain-Barré syndrome in which I was hospitalized for ten days and so, it's not impossible I could experience that again. Now, keep in mind that the The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA) law says I am not required to disclose my medical condition to anyone. Fines up to $75,000 for the first violation and $150,000 for any subsequent violation can be imposed.

In addition to the above, I do not believe the Governor or anyone else has the right to make me gaslight myself! That goes against my spiritual/religious beliefs and a violation of my sovereign rights:

Self-ownership, also known as sovereignty of the individual or individual sovereignty, is the concept of property in one's own person, expressed as the moral or natural right of a person to have bodily integrity and be the exclusive controller of one's own body and life.

Will any of the above hold up in court? Hard to say and is it wise to do so at this point in time - the Cs say to be calm and patient - wait and see.

Thankfully, I'm not employed and have no requirement to wear a mask at a job. The "mask" I do wear is doubled netting (like that of a tutu) and so, does not impede air as much as the cloth/surgical masks most are wearing. To me, that's beside the point - why should I have to wear a mask at all knowing they are completely useless - scientifically proven - and are just a means to subdue/control the population by fear. That also goes against my spiritual/religious beliefs. I do don my faux mask (for a faux pandemic) as I feel inclined when entering a store and either removing it or pulling it off my nose once inside - or if the store is busy, in consideration of people who clearly believe they'll be endangered by the maskless. Pam Popper has said she's never worn a mask (still with the heightened enforcement?), but she has a huge group behind her including lawyers. I've yet to take steps to approach the groups fighting these orders to see if any immediate relief can be attained. Holiday stuff along with illness delayed tasks demand my time/energy, but I do want to follow up. I did elect to be put on email but that did not elicit any response.

I've posted before that I never marched in the 60s/70s and never burned a bra (didn't have a draft card). So I've never been an actual activist and to become one now would really be coming late to the party! I did take action regarding Smartmeters which took much courage as public speaking is very nerve-wracking for me - and city council meetings are recorded and shown on TV! I never watched - painful enough as it was.

they are required to wear the Asphyxionator 3000

Shouldn't that be the Asphyxionator 2020?

This is the main point! If you are not harming anyone else, you have the natural right to proceed unimpeded!

I go out without a mask all the time now. No one has said anything to me (except the "greeter" at Walmart who sternly says, "Masks are required." I just keep walking, and say 'thank you for telling me"). I look at people, hoping to engage someone, but mostly, no one looks back. Some people have been friendly, even while wearing their masks. I am in central TX, and the shopping is in a very small town where about 70% of people wear masks. In the other direction is a larger town, ,with 99% compliance. Which state are you in, JEEP (if you don't mind saying)?

 

[JEEP]

I'm in central Ohio - a suburb of the capital city, Columbus.

My experience is similar to yours when shopping. However, I don't believe the governor or anyone else has the right to make me jeopardize my own health!

Just want to add, in thinking about the store incident, I might have been told/suggested that I could order groceries for car pickup in lieu of wearing a mask inside. Not sure the smaller store has that option although the larger/chain stores do. But, I'm particular about what I purchase and don't want strangers picking out my groceries. Can a stranger choose greeting cards for me? Additionally, one decides what to buy as one shops. Why should that choice be hindered for a business that caters to the public? Doubt the charge of trespassing could be invoked either, but who knows? Kinda feel this is a fight for younger, more energetic people and not something I can take on by myself. That feels like a cop-out which makes me feel bad, but one has to be realistic.

I agree. I don't want anyone picking out my things either.

Just go about your business. Don't worry about possible bad scenarios (like trespassing). You'll know what to say or do if something ever happens. Remember, you and I are not doing anything wrong!

As for age, I'm not so young myself. But I won't let this beat me. Keep up the good fight!

@SevenFeathers - It occurred to me that, just like at the eye doctor's office, I could just be refused service for not wearing a mask. I might not be ordered out of the store, but no one will check out my purchases (no self-service checkout at the small store). So, it's kind of like what is being speculated about the vaccines - you can refuse it, but you will not be allowed to shop, fly, attend public gatherings, etc. Which is why I thought Pam Popper was wrong to focus just on the vaccine issue. If they can do these restrictions with just masks, vaccines will be a done deal.

Were you refused service at the eye doctor? I have an eye doctor appointment this week and don't plan on wearing a mask. I'll see what happens. If this doc won't see me, I'll find one who will.

 

[JEEP]

Were you refused service at the eye doctor?

This was earlier in the year and yes, I was denied service. Not only due to the Governor's health directive, but the also The American Association of Ophthalmology as well. The office was on a 2nd floor, reached by elevator, but one had to be given access by the screener first along with temperature check and list of questions. I had a firm discussion with the person sent down to talk to me about the mask policy. It was a no-win situation. I had actually decided to go to a different ophthalmologist from my regular one, so I ended up going back to that office. Since I needed to renew my drivers license and barely passed the eye exam last time, I wore my faux mask - both places. You do what you have to do, like it or not sometimes.

p.s. it's possible they will honor an official health exemption.

This vloger is very succinct narrative of the mindless-mask-followers. Her observations of what we are truly up against is spot on.

I was flipping through channels and hit Tucker's show - Dr. Scott Atlas was being interviewed. Missed most of it, but heard that Atlas resigned today! Looked it up:

Trump ally Dr. Scott Atlas resigns from coronavirus task force​

Physician has been sharply criticized by health officials for spreading misinformation​

Dr. Scott Atlas, the most controversial member of the White House coronavirus task force, resigned from his post late Monday.

Fox News first reported his departure. Atlas confirmed it later with a tweet that included his resignation letter, dated Dec. 1. “Honored to have served @realDonaldTrump and the American people during these difficult times,” he said.

https://twitter.com/x/status/1333574072756682752

Atlas was serving as a coronavirus adviser to President Donald Trump on a 130-day Special Government Employee detail, which was due to expire at the end of this week, Fox News reported. Trump appointed him to the task force in August.

Atlas, a radiologist with no previous experience in infectious diseases, has had Trump’s ear in recent months. He has been an outspoken critic of lockdowns and supporter of a “herd immunity” strategy, and earlier this month was sharply criticized after tweeting that Michigan should “rise up” against coronavirus restrictions.

He was also assailed by many health experts for spreading misinformation. In October, Twitter Inc. TWTR, -0.17% blocked one of his tweets that falsely claimed face masks were ineffective at preventing the spread of COVID-19. Numerous studies have debunked that, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has stressed the importance of wearing masks.

“I have real problems with that guy,” Dr. Anthony Fauci told the Washington Post earlier this month. “He’s a smart guy who’s talking about things that I believe he doesn’t have any real insight or knowledge or experience in. He keeps talking about things that when you dissect it out and parse it out, it doesn’t make any sense.”

In September, CDC Director Robert Redfield was overheard by a reporter saying of Atlas: “Everything he says is false.”

Atlas, a Hoover Institution fellow, was also condemned by Stanford University colleagues, with one faculty member calling him “an embarrassment to the university.”

The hyperlink for the article title didn't take, so here it is:

Interesting that the article provided a link in this sentence, "the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has stressed the importance of wearing masks", but nothing in the pertinent sentences, "falsely claimed face masks were ineffective at preventing the spread of COVID-19. Numerous studies have debunked that".

So, what studies are those and where can they be found? umm - aren't they in here somewhere . . .

Covid-19: Demandan a AstraZeneca por fuerte reacción adversa en un voluntario de la vacuna

Covid-19: AstraZeneca Sued for Severe Adverse Reaction in Vaccine Volunteer

A volunteer from Chennai, India, who conducted trials of the COVID-19 vaccine developed jointly by the AstraZeneca laboratory and the University of Oxford, England, reported serious adverse effects, including neurological damage, after being inoculated with a first dose on October 1.

The wife of the 40-year-old volunteer reported that ten days after the injection, her husband complained of a severe headache, followed by vomiting, so he spent the rest of the day in bed. She said there was a total "change of behavior" in him and he seemed unaware of his surroundings. "He showed irritation towards light and sound, and resisted any effort to get him out of bed," she said.

According to the Indian media, the patient was taken by ambulance to the emergency room of the Sri Ramachandra Hospital and Medical College. He was hospitalized there from October 11th to 26th, and as warned in the medical report, the man was "in an altered mental state" and "disoriented". Tests carried out by a neurologist from another hospital "confirm a dysfunction in his brain". He also had vitamin B12 and vitamin D deficiency and a probable "connective tissue disorder.
