When I say ‘Never trust a doctor,’ I don’t mean to necessarily distrust them. But take a neutral approach, and always vet what they say. Don’t be afraid to seek second, and even third, opinions.
When time permits, have a look at this article: THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION TO ASK YOUR DOCTOR TO AVOID UNNECESSARY MEDICAL CARE. To cut to the skinny, the most important question to ask is, “What happens if I don’t do anything?”
I have my own story that highlights the importance of this question (and you still must research the veracity of the answer - your doctor may not expose the full truth). I had a tooth go bad (a back molar, out of sight), and it was pulled. The dentist (a doctor) said, “You have two choices. You can have an implant, or a bridge. The disadvantage to an implant is that you’re putting something foreign into your body. The disadvantage to a bridge is that you’re grinding down the two healthy teeth on either side of the gap. I’ll let you think it over.” He left the room. My first thought was, ‘What if I don’t do anything?’
He came back in. I said, “Doctor, what happens if I don’t do anything?” He blithely said, “Oh, nothing. The bone will close, the gum will grow over, and you’ll have a gap there.” Why didn’t he offer that as an option? BECAUSE HE MAKES NO MONEY ON THAT OPTION. Today, I chew food on both sides of my mouth and don’t even notice, nor think about, that gap - unless I willfully do so.
With COVID “vaccines,” healthy people should ask themselves, “What if I don’t do anything?” Well, if you’re healthy, with no co-morbidities, to a near 100% certainty you’ll recover if you even get COVID. And, you’ll have the advantage, if you get it, of building natural (superior and true) immunity.
It is now becoming obvious to clear-thinking Americans why there is such a strident push to get “everyone” vaccinated. It’s because natural immunity is stronger, longer lasting, and better positioned to thwart COVID (and variants) than these fake “vaccines,” which do not mitigate catching or transmitting the virus. If the “vaccines” worked… why multiple injections? Why “boosters”? BECAUSE THEY DO NOT WORK. Thus the rush, the ruthless push, to get as many people “vaccinated” before even the MSM dam breaks, and the majority of people wake up to these drugs’ ineffectiveness and risks.
Too, a reasonable person can wonder, without being a conspiracy theorist: What if the people who are fueling this pandemic (by spreading fear, by spreading untested illegal immigrants all over the country and “seeding” new COVID cases, by compromising our own natural immunity systems*) are the same ones who are benefiting from this pandemic? Kinda like someone running up behind you and kicking and breaking your leg – then running around to your front and stating, “Hey! I can fix that for you!” (For a price).
Recognize that the longer the “vaccine-hesitant” go without being vaxxed, the larger the natural-immunity crowd gets, and the ever-less chance that these pols and MSM types can “Fauci” us into a jab or two (or three, or four…).
* Recognize also that a growing number of doctors, here and abroad, are now stating that these “vaccines” are compromising and weakening our natural immune systems. I won’t go into the technicals here, but I do understand them. They are readily available via a simple ‘net search. (Use DuckDuckGo.com as your search engine; Google is compromised and its algorithms will suppress unbiased reports). Children’s physical health will be forever weakened – recommendations are that children should not be vaccinated with the fake vaccines. Children are as close to 100% immune already to COVID.
When dealing with medical personnel in general, it may help to understand that concerns regarding clandestine agendas and motivations go way back. Just consider this dialog from the Marx Brothers film, A Day at the Races, (1937; where Groucho, as “Dr. Hackenbush,” has come under scrutiny regarding his medical background):
Mrs. Upjohn, his wealthy patient, supporting Dr. Hackenbush in the face of skeptics, says:
“I'm going to someone who understands me, I'm going to Dr. Hackenbush! Why, I didn't know there was a thing the matter with me until I met him.”
We the People didn’t know there was a thing the matter with us (and our immune systems) until we met Big Government and its constant pressure to take fake “vaccines.” Our knowledge means nothing, our judgment means nothing, our bodies’ immune system means nothing - our rights as Americans mean nothing! - rather, government knows best, and there is obviously a clandestine agenda in pushing these lousy drugs. Up until 2020, our immune systems guarded people without co-morbidities just fine in allowing us to recover.
And can we please position ourselves against all of these witless people, a class of politicians and pundits, who say, ‘This is not about vaccines - I’m vaccinated myself. This is about freedom.’ NO. This is about both. This is most emphatically about the so-called “vaccines,” as well as our freedom to choose what goes into our bodies.
Flu vaccines for the most part appear to be fine (each year’s vaxx in these regards seems to be a true vaccine) but I myself do not take them (since 1989). However, in the case of COVID, and in the absence of co-morbidities, it is far better (and increasingly acknowledged by brave doctors and nurses), to build natural, far-superior, immunity to COVID. But, COVID!!! COVID!!! COVID!!! – don’t look at the southern border; don’t examine the $5 trillion “social infrastructure” spending bills; don’t examine Biden’s mental state; don’t examine school curricula; don’t examine debt/deficit issues. Instead be certain to diaper your face and take injection after injection after injection, ad nauseum… and “boosters” so as to enrich Big Pharma and their investors by billions.
Well…
Back to a little levity: In the case of Dr. Hackenbush, it turns out that he’s actually a veterinarian posing as a people doctor. Too many of today’s doctors are posing as something – while they may not be veterinarians, a good many of them likely should be (except that I wouldn’t even let them near my dog or cat – Hey Fauci! Don’t you dare Fauci my dog!). Any doctor that won’t tell you, or people in general, that these “vaccines” violate norms for what vaccines have been historically (and Dr. Fauci is the lowest of the low in these regards) shouldn’t have a medical license.
Further dialog from the film is entertaining, and A Day at the Races is worth a look. Watch the film when you have time:
Hackenbush: “Here boy. Take these bags up to my room, and here's a dime for yourself.”
Mrs. Upjohn: “Oh, no, no, no. This is Mr. Whitmore, our business manager!”
Hackenbush: “Oh, I'm terribly sorry. Here's a quarter.”
(In the face of querying regarding his medical background):
Hackenbush: “At the age of fifteen I got a job in a drugstore filling prescriptions.”
Whitmore: “Don't you have to be twenty-one to fill prescriptions?”
Hackenbush: “Well, uh, that's for grown-ups. I just filled them for children.”
Whitmore: “No, no, Doctor. I mean, where did you get your training as a physician?”
Hackenbush: “Oh, well, uh, to begin with I took four years at Vassar.”
Mrs. Upjohn: “Vassar? But that's a girls' college.”
Hackenbush: “I found that out the third year. I'd 've been there yet, but I went out for the swimming team.”
Whitmore: “The doctor seems reluctant to discuss his medical experiences.”
Hackenbush: “Well, medically, my experiences have been most unexciting. Except during the flu epidemic – “
Whitmore: “Ah, and what happened?”
Hackenbush: “I got the flu.”
[Dr. Hackenbush hands a large pill to Mrs. Upjohn]
Whitmore: “Just a minute, Mrs. Upjohn. That looks like a horse pill to me.”
Hackenbush: “Oh, you've taken them before.”
Mrs. Upjohn: “Are you sure, Doctor, you haven't made a mistake?”
Hackenbush: “You have nothing to worry about. The last patient I gave one of those to won the Kentucky Derby.”
(I feel I should note here that I support the use of Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine – with a doctor’s recommendation and treatment, of course).
Mark Oshinskie makes many fine points in his recent article, and to quote from that article, VAXX PROMOTERS RESEMBLE TIMESHARE SALESMEN: “It’s weird: even as they aggressively hawk “boosters” as Covid Salvation 2.0, Biden, Fauci, various governors and the media decline to acknowledge that boosters are needed precisely because vaxxes are failing. They’re effectively saying, “Let’s do more of what failed the first time.”
As Einstein is purported to have said, “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.”
This is important to remember – Had we not done anything regarding this pandemic (short of the usual things people do at home: bed rest, over-the-counter pain relief, chicken soup, etc.), we’d be a year-and-a-half plus into Herd Immunity – as are the Amish. Further, I don’t believe people without co-morbidities would have suffered any greater a death rate, and perhaps far less. People with co-morbidities would have been free, as always, to mask, take drugs (COVID “vaccines”), wear flower pots on their heads, and do whatever they liked in consultation with their doctor(s).
Consider the Amish:
I’m amazed that Sharyl Attkisson did this segment. I hope she hasn’t faced backlash (but I imagine there’s been some measure of that). Kudos to the Amish. I know some Amish folks today, and knew many from when my father, a suburbanite and former carpenter (in terms of livelihood; he became an Industrial Engineer) bought a farm as a “get away” - where he restored a Ford 9N tractor, and rented stalls in the barn to people with horses, and the farmhouse to tenants - in what we called “Amish Country.” They work hard, are honest, and we admired the heck out of them. Their sense, courage, and approach to COVID should be mirrored throughout all societies.
Lastly, for those who understand this, “Let’s Go Brandon!”
And in the meantime, don’t let anyone Fauci you. Stay safe out there –
