Gee, who'd a thunk it? I mean other than anyone with half a functioning brain who has the slightest idea what a cost-benefit analysis is, especially for the almost totally non-susceptible population.

Late-Stage Pandemic Is Messing With Your Brain
We have been doing this so long, we’re forgetting how to be normal.


I first became aware that I was losing my mind in late December. It was a Friday night, the start of my 40-somethingth pandemic weekend: Hours and hours with no work to distract me, and outside temperatures prohibitive of anything other than staying in. I couldn’t for the life of me figure out how to fill the time. “What did I used to … do on weekends?” I asked my boyfriend, like a soap-opera amnesiac. He couldn’t really remember either.

Since then, I can’t stop noticing all the things I’m forgetting. Sometimes I grasp at a word or a name. Sometimes I walk into the kitchen and find myself bewildered as to why I am there. (At one point during the writing of this article, I absentmindedly cleaned my glasses with nail-polish remover.) Other times, the forgetting feels like someone is taking a chisel to the bedrock of my brain, prying everything loose. I’ve started keeping a list of questions, remnants of a past life that I now need a beat or two to remember, if I can remember at all: What time do parties end? How tall is my boss? What does a bar smell like? Are babies heavy? Does my dentist have a mustache? On what street was the good sandwich place near work, the one that toasted its bread? How much does a movie popcorn cost? What do people talk about when they don’t have a global disaster to talk about all the time? You have to wear high heels the whole night? It’s more baffling than distressing, most of the time.

...

This is the fog of late pandemic, and it is brutal. In the spring, we joked about the Before Times, but they were still within reach, easily accessible in our shorter-term memories. In the summer and fall, with restrictions loosening and temperatures rising, we were able to replicate some of what life used to be like, at least in an adulterated form: outdoor drinks, a day at the beach. But now, in the cold, dark, featureless middle of our pandemic winter, we can neither remember what life was like before nor imagine what it’ll be like after.

...

That’s the good news. The pandemic is still too young to have yielded rigorous, peer-reviewed studies about its effects on cognitive function. But the brain scientists I spoke with told me they can extrapolate based on earlier work about trauma, boredom, stress, and inactivity, all of which do a host of very bad things to a mammal’s brain.

“We’re all walking around with some mild cognitive impairment,” said Mike Yassa, a neuroscientist at UC Irvine. “Based on everything we know about the brain, two of the things that are really good for it are physical activity and novelty. A thing that’s very bad for it is chronic and perpetual stress.” Living through a pandemic—even for those who are doing so in relative comfort—“is exposing people to microdoses of unpredictable stress all the time,” said Franklin, whose research has shown that stress changes the brain regions that control executive function, learning, and memory.

...

Ultimately, said Natasha Rajah, a psychology professor at McGill University, in Montreal, our winter of forgetting may be attributable to any number of overlapping factors. “There’s just so much going on: It could be the stress, it could be the grief, it could be the boredom, it could be depression,” she said. “It sounds pretty grim, doesn’t it?”

The share of Americans reporting symptoms of anxiety disorder, depressive disorder, or both roughly quadrupled from June 2019 to December 2020, according to a Census Bureau study released late last year. What’s more, we simply don’t know the long-term effects of collective, sustained grief. Longitudinal studies of survivors of Chernobyl, 9/11, and Hurricane Katrina show elevated rates of mental-health problems, in some cases lasting for more than a decade.

...

Some Saturday not too long from now, I will go to a party or a bar or even a wedding. Maybe I’ll hold a baby, and maybe it will be heavy. Inevitably, I will kick my shoes off at some point. I won’t have to wonder about what I do on weekends, because I’ll be doing it. I’ll kiss my friends and try their drinks and marvel at how everyone is still the same, but a little different, after the year we all had. My brain won’t be smooth anymore, but being wrinkly won’t feel so bad. My synapses will be made plastic by the complicated, strange, utterly novel experience of being alive again, human again. I can’t wait.

After a few months into the lockdown, I've noticed when talking to clients that they talk more.  My normal phone calls are right to business.  But since this began, now they're like 20-45 minutes, especially with the over 60 clients.  They miss having someone to talk to cause they couldn't go out.  Many times I even had to tell them I have to go because I have other calls to make after I let them talk for X amount of time more than normal.

On the other side of the spectrum, I've also noticed clients getting more agitated or even losing it more.  They get all upset at the littlest thing that didn't bother them the year before.  Or could call me all flustered at what we spoke about a few days prior.  They would misplace things as well that they never called me about before.  So I had to learn not to take it personally, it's the COVID lockdown.

So just  FYI to have more patience if you notice interacting with people getting upset at stuff.

Doctors from Stanford, what do they know?

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/03/two-stanford-doctors-blast-nations-covid-response-worst-public-health-mistake-last-100-years/

Two Stanford Doctors Blast the Nation’s COVID Response – “Worst Public Health Mistake In Last 100 Years”

Two world-renowned doctors at Stanford recently discussed the nation’s response to the China coronavirus (COVID).
 
Dr. Scott Atlas was a late member of the President’s team which addressed COVID.  He was immediately shunned and shamed by the media because his narrative was different from that of fellow team members Dr. Fauci and Dr. Birx.

Dr. Atlas recently shared the following at an online conference:

The coronavirus pandemic has been a great tragedy, there can be no doubt about that. But it has also exposed profound issues in America that now threaten the very principles of freedom and order that we Americans often take for granted.

First, I have been shocked at the enormous power of the government, to unilaterally decree, to simply close businesses and schools by edict, restrict personal movement, mandate behavior, and eliminate our most basic freedoms, without any end and little accountability.

Second, I remain surprised at the acceptance by the American people of draconian rules, restrictions, and unprecedented mandates, even those that are arbitrary, destructive, and wholly unscientific.

This crisis has also exposed what we all have known existed, but we have tolerated for years: the overt bias of the media, the lack of diverse viewpoints on campuses, the absence of neutrality in big tech controlling social media, and now more visibly than ever, the intrusion of politics into science. Ultimately, the freedom to seek and state the truth is at risk here in the United States.

Not to be outdone, a fellow doctor at Stanford, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, discussed the COVID response this week.  Bhattacharya was one of the co-authors of the Great Barrington Declaration:

I stand behind my comment that the lockdowns are the single worst public health mistake in the last 100 years. We will be counting the catastrophic health and psychological harms, imposed on nearly every poor person on the face of the earth, for a generation.

At the same time, they have not served to control the epidemic in the places where they have been most vigorously imposed. In the US, they have – at best – protected the “non-essential” class from COVID, while exposing the essential working class to the disease. The lockdowns are trickle down epidemiology.

One is that people who are older have a much higher risk from dying from COVID than people who are younger…and that’s a really important fact because we know who is most vulnerable, it’s people that are older. So the first plank of the Great Barrington Declaration: let’s protect the vulnerable.

The other idea is that the lockdowns themselves impose great harm on people. Lockdowns are not a natural normal way to live.

People who are poor face much more hardship from the lockdowns than people who are rich.

Canadian Doctors Speak Out: Top Reasons Why Not to be Afraid of COVID (VIDEO)

A group of Canadian doctors released a video this past week on why not to be afraid of COVID.

This group of Canadian doctors shared the following about COVID:

Cases are not the same as symptomatic people and the vast majority of cases have really no symptoms of being sick.

Research shows that the PCR Test is practically worthless.  Only 3% with a positive test actually have the COVID virus.”

Cases are no indication of deaths – see the number of cases versus deaths below:

The number of increased deaths are most likely due to age rather than COVID in 2020:

Non-symptomatic people will not pass on the COVID virus.

Many of us are already immune to the virus, meaning we are closer to herd immunity than we know.

Children are not the drivers of the pandemic and schools, therefore, are safe.  Only 4 children under the age of 19 have died in Canada from COVID.

Hmm, not obese. No secondary health issues. Just another coincidence, I'm sure, right SAFETY CULTISTS? I'm also sure her 9-year-old daughter thinks it was worth it, because SAFETY!!!

Deaths so far due to "vaccine" (actually "experimental gene therapy"): 1,637 (well, that was yesterday, and only the "official" toll, who knows the number today?)

Utah Mother Dies Four Days After Second Dose Of Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine



Kassidi Kurill, a mother of one from Ogden, received the vaccine due to her work as a surgical tech for several plastic surgeons, KUTV reported.

“She was absolutely fine with getting it. In fact, she told all of us, ‘It’s fine, you guys should all get it,’” her father, Alfred Hawley, told the outlet.

Kurill reportedly experienced a sore arm after the first dose of Moderna, but had no other noticeable side effects. Things took a sudden and tragic turn after her second dose on February 1st. While she was in bed all day Tuesday and Wednesday, it wasn’t until Thursday morning she knew something was wrong. She woke up early, got ready, and asked her dad to drive her to the local emergency room, where they arrived by 7 a.m.

“She came in early and said her heart was racing and she felt like she needed to get to the emergency room,” Hawley said.

When they arrived at the ER, Kurill was throwing up. Her father told doctors his daughter had just received her second shot.

“They did a blood test and immediately came back and said she was very, very sick, and her liver was not functioning,” he told KUTV.

Kurill’s older sister Kristin, who lives in Arizona, said she knew her sister had gone to the hospital, but the speed at which she deteriorated was “so unexpected.”

This video is only 30 minutes long, so it doesn't go into a lot of the detail, but enough, including quotes from the patent itself, that clearly shows that the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna drugs are not vaccines as legally-defined. they were only "approved" under the Emergency Powers Act and the Emergency Use Authorization Act, which is a temporary approval and thus, among other things, does not allow the military to require the drug for military personnel.

to hear the full story. This is a 30-minute video but you will need that long to understand this “Alice in Wonderland situation”.

We are going through a challenging period when well-established concepts are being dismissed without any scientific justification. The answer to the question “When is a vaccine not a vaccine?” comes from the accepted definition of a vaccine:

“A vaccine protects the patient from infection by a disease and eliminates or reduces the risk of the patient infecting others.”  A vaccine is not a vaccine when it is an experimental genetic medicine that neither gives protection against a virus nor reduces or stops further transmission of the disease, this is broadly what two current so-called vaccines are. Moderna and Pfizer mRNA shots are labeled as “vaccines,” and news agencies and health policy leaders call them that, the actual patents for Pfizer’s and Moderna’s injections more truthfully describe them as “gene therapy,” not vaccines.

Story at-a-glance

By referring to COVID-19 vaccines as “vaccines” rather than gene therapies, the U.S. government is violating its 15 U.S. Code Section 41, which regulates deceptive practices in medical claims

The mRNA injections are gene therapies that do not fulfill a single criterion or definition of a vaccine

COVID-19 “vaccines” do not impart immunity or inhibit the transmissibility of the disease. They only are designed to lessen your infection symptoms if or when you get infected. As such, these products do not meet the legal or medical definition of a vaccine

Since a vast majority of people who test positive for SARS-CoV-2 have no symptoms at all, they’ve not even been able to establish a causal link between the virus and the clinical disease

By calling this experimental gene therapy technology a “vaccine,” they are circumventing liability for damages that would otherwise apply

he's picking and choosing words from moderna's public documents and combining them to make his conclusion
"so when Moderna WAS STARTED, they made a point of saying their technology is a gene therapy, and it was set up to be a cancer treatment. SO THIS IS A GENE THERAPY CHEMOTHERAPY"

he says it is a "synthetic fragment of nucleic acid, and not an mRNA" without providing evidence of such
and if the ribosomes are taking that "synthetic fragment of nucleic acid" and making spike protein, if it's not an mRNA, it is DOING EXACTLY WHAT AN mRNA DOES
and then goes on to rant that it is only making spike protein, not the entire virus
well, that's what it is supposed to do, and no one claimed otherwise, so i don't see the big deal...
