The app for independent voices

Dr Stacey Patton's avatar

I’ve been on Substack for just two days, and already, I feel like I can breathe again!

It’s like stepping outside after being locked in a room with no ventilation for years. Just air. A fresh, clean, unpolluted breeze that smells like possibility.

No algorithms squeezing my voice into some tiny little box. No MAGA trolls popping up every five minutes to call me an ape, a monkey, the n-word, the b-word, or the c-word, or threatening to r*pe or blow my brains out.

No swamp of stupid Trump memes…

This Supreme Court is one of the most political in history. Especially Thomas and Scalia. ACB seems to have grown a conscience to some extent and even Kavanaugh has disappointed MAGA somewhat. But this guy… Thomas.. yeah he’s as corrupt as they come. He doesn’t even try to hide it.

It’s about damn time. AOC is a hero. She’s one of the best out there, fighting daily against Trump’s fascist bullshit.

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

Sometimes I fantasize about disappearing.

Not dying.

Just logging off.

Getting a job no one cares about.

Growing tomatoes.

Writing poems in the margins of a notebook no one reads.

Not as a failure.

But as a kind of freedom.

25 years working as a Board Certified Sonographer in the following specialties; Vascular as well as Ob/gyn, as well as Abdominal Sonography. I am the canary in the coal mine. I've been looking inside bodies for over one quarter of a century and up until the vax, have never seen adolescents with; gallbladder disease, and life threatening blood clots in their legs (DVT's), and irregular menses, like I am now. I'm horrified frankly.

People and their friends and family members are odd, they don't want to admit their mistakes, even after horrible morbidities and nortalities. I told the World, and they didn't listen. So sad 😞.

This is going to have to get far worse before people wake up. I say that because where I live and worked (retired from my healthcare job end of 2020 but still in close contact with co-workers), there have not been any sudden deaths or injuries in these folks. And I have been watching closely. So among my neighbors (I know about 50 of them), my co-workers (approx 30), and members of my church (I know about 50 of them well), none have died or showed any sign of injury from the COVID vax. Out o…

I doubt what you’re saying. Im not accusing you of lying. But, in that many people you might easily not have a death. And it would be less likely but possible not to have a major injury. But I doubt five to ten are not injured. For example a neighbour came to my house to get her dog whom we had been caring for. We dog-sit her pet as they travel often. She called to say they’re back. I said I would be outside waiting. She drove up, got out of her car and DIDN’T recognize me! She is…

Honestly I’ve been baffled by what I have observed up until now. I live in a small town so it hasn’t been that challenging to monitor. I had expected to see some very obviously injured people by now in my small world but I haven’t. But you may very well be right - people may be injured but I just covering well.

I suspect it is 1 in 30 severely injured. I also suspect 1 in 150 dead. Numbers say if you know well 60 people or 90 people 2 or 3 would be badly hurt. However, numbers never evenly distribute. Someone might know 7 or 10 while a few others not know any. Also where i live the real results didn’t show until the third shot. If your cohort got AZ first shot, with half getting saline, then Pfizer only after the second shot it might take awhile. I am not saying AZ is better but the negative…

Chellbie's avatar

agree - injuries definitely not evenly spread and not everyone i know well got a third shot. i did read a while back from dr yeadon that in the US the majority of injuries had been linked to around 10 percent of the batches. my belief (or maybe just hope) is that there have been placebo saline shots, or that the vaccines were improperly stored, possibly causing a degradation of the contents, thus making them ineffective.

When I review data from my area there is an exponential uptick on the booster. One shot and unjabbed show little difference. Two shots and differences show. Three shots is where the ‘rubber hits the road’

I’ve two 70 year old aunts who have taken 4 jabs. I’ve literally held my breath, just waiting for something awful to happen but so far so good.

Mystic William's avatar

My experience. Is the older the cohort the less noticeable the effect. Their eyes start to go. Their energy wanes, they get dozy. But they’re already old. I notice a slight sag to their faces. One side droops ever so slightly. Younger people seem to virulently respond. Negatively.
