Most excellent piece! And thank you for mentioning Eleanor McKean. Her books should also be part of biology curriculum in schools and required reading in med schools, along with Suzanne Humphries work. While we are at it, add in Lynn Margulis work and Endosymbiotic theory! Then people might remember why vaccine theory was never particularly sound theory in the first place.🤗
Thank you, I'll add Lynn to the list. Could you please elaborate on the last sentence and what the connection is between endosymbiotic theory and vaccine theory? Having thought about it all of 5 minutes I think I see the problem, but would love hear your thoughts.
My thoughts on the connection are simple. Articulating them is not my strong suit😂🤣
Roughly and as shortly as possible, if we can see within evolutionary history that we entered a symbiotic relationship with bacteria, as we did with mitochondria, then to me it stands to reason that there would be other evolutionary upgrades courtesy of other members of the virome/halobiome. E.g. placental formation, and further. Essentially we don't even know what we don't know about the world around us and in us, right now. Yet a theory determined over a hundred years ago, remains completely unchalleged and scientifically sound? So then considering how meticulous the body is about maintaining homeostasis within the internal ecosystems, how meticulous the global virome keeps the truly pathogenic species in check (when we are not stuffing around with it) and the overall evolutionary connections (also consider looking at Beuchamp et al pleomorphism work), then why on earth anyone would think that taking a portion of one virus, one of the many clades etc, by passing natural body protections, to jettison a chemical cocktail and lone viral portion, into the body, teaming with microscopic life, all focused on maintaining homeostasis, to the symbiotic benefit, would actually work? All I know is that when obstacles to cure are removed, the body will fix almost everything, given enough time.
I am getting closer to "losing" my home. Been on disability for over 6 months, because I started losing my mind when the deadline for the mandate at my workplace approached. Having my livelihood threatened, after 16 years of excellent service I provided as a commuter bus driver... it FELT like a death sentence, because it triggered lifelong early childhood trauma responses in my mind and body. Long term disability has just been denied, and we cannot maintain our home without my contributions, as my husband is much older and already semi-retired.
If it weren't for my children and my grandson, I might have already chosen to leave this planet...
Instead, I spend a LOT of time watching Tiny Home videos, and trying to convince my husband that it's our only sane option.
At 58, I don't see myself starting a new career. I LOVED my job. It gave me immense satisfaction and confidence.
Life as we have known it... is OVER.
I feel like all I have left, is to wait for the end...
I recently read Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning, it had been on my todo list forever and I don't know why it took me so long, it's a short book after all. The second part especially I found relevant to today's challenges, he talks about "meaning" and how it can be found or even created in the most impossible of situations. I need to reread it a few times for it to truly sink in.
On the financial front, you might very well be right, that downsizing is the best long term solution, but that decision can be made at any time, as a general rule the more it's delayed the better the overall numbers play out. Considering all the money they are printing and seeing how that impacts property prices, as time goes by and prices continue to "inflate" the downsizer benefits from the inflation and the delay.
Also, in difficult financial times the trick is generally not to solve all problems and long term problems but to try to just solve the short term problems and take it one month at a time and one year at a time...things change and often they change for the better.
I don't know what would be "useful". I have some support, attending IFS groups and working 1 on 1 with a trained IFS coach. Beyond this, I don't know...
IFS - Internal Family Systems...
But no words are going to change my immediate circumstances. And I am TIRED... I don't want to put any more "effort" into this lifetime.
Love your work.
Thank you :)
Thanks. I will send it to about 100 pollies.

Thank you!! That's very helpful indeed. Nothing wrong with that articulation 😊👍

SNR, what can I say that might be useful.

. . . or for a new life. I truly wish that for you and for everyone who’s saying “NO!” when their hand is forced.
I admire all of you.
And now we have a Labor Federal government. Things are going to get a lot lot worse
