This is only 2 data points: My wife & I got the J&J April 1, 2021 (appropriate, I know). First week of June we both got routine blood work done. For both of us our white counts were below 'normal'. 6 months later my wife had hers done again and they had returned to normal. I ASSUME mine are ok now, but don't know. Otherwise no problems.
At first I thought this was heading into French philosophical sophistry, or at least a French parfum commercial vibe, but then it snapped back into the grid. The people talking about “it” all the time usually aren’t doing it, regardless of what “it” is- getting laid, making money, being in the in crowd, etc.. Our culture tells everybody: “Hey you can do anything you want, if it’s hedonistic and trite! You are free, sort of. That’s right- any bad behavior you fancy can be yours- it’s cool! You…

I enjoy the approach of inviting nature to share the workload help minimize the physical labor th…
Unfortunately, I think you may be right about a large majority of the global population.
Learning to cultivate, forage and/or hunt for food and preserve it is indeed extremely important. Though I think it would be wise to point out that while hunting may be a necessary stop gap measure for surviving in certain situations/bio-regions, if millions (or billions) of people were to turn to hunting to get their meat after the collapse of major centralized food systems, this would quickly result in th…
Indeed, and while Bayer and other pharmaceutical/biotech/petro-fascist interests are hyper-consolidating ownership of seed companies (both transgenic and heirloom) Gates is hyper-consolidating ownership of farm land. It seems they will aim to starve people out and/or force them to eat their genetically contaminated patented "food".
That is wise to be prepared as you have chosen to, I only go as far as a couple years of food for our system, but if we were situated in a more isolated location I mi…
