No you certainly did not 1. I saw no vax boo booing there. But the vax has its own way of drawing suspicion as we sure are seeing a lot of fucked up medical issues and deaths after the roll out so supporters are doing backflips to stifle discussion.
I just like to point out some of the many bullshit studies and statistical manipulation that the mainstream allopathic medical system loves to peddle.
Look at smoking/Tobacco. Back in the 70’s about 80% of Americans smoked or used tobacco. Today that number is down to about 13%. Lung cancer peaked around 1987 at 86 cases per 100k. Today still about 56 cases per 100k and a huge causal factor of lung cancer has been removed from our society-asbestos. So overall not much affect on lung cancer rates.
Now let’s look at some other facts. As Tabacco use has declined, obesity rates have proportionally INCREASED. Healthcare costs per person have gone from roughly $550 per person per year in 1975 to $13,000 per person per year. Average lifespan has actually been trending DOWN over the last 7 years. Also consider lung cancer strikes usually at advanced age, over 65. Obesity issues take you out much earlier.
I don’t advocate for smoking, but it sure looks like we traded a not great thing for an even worse awful situation.
I believe the mainstream allopathic medical system is heavily driven and controlled by its financial masters. Moreover, I believe medicine as a whole, is a very broken system in many respects. I long for the day when preventive care truly takes hold and we can stop chasing after symptoms with band-aid solutions that just buy time. I really hope that a time arrives when human beings take into consideration the importance of sleep/recovery, a healthy/balanced diet, moderate daily exercise (HUGE), stress-reduction and
MENTAL HEALTH.
Going on a tangent here...
Unfortunately, as a society, western culture puts forth a myth (dare I say cultural artifact) whereby we ingrain into the minds of our people that life is incomplete without goal fulfillment. In many respects, we've woven this belief into our minds as some sort of tragic existential fact of life. Western culture drives us into a monotonous cycle of working, making money, and spending it on consumer-oriented products that help us appease our egos to try and keep up with the perception of what our society views as successful or happiness-inducing. When you train "slaves" to think in this fashion, they lose their sense of self or authenticity and as a result of this, their health takes a backseat to the superficial things they instead prioritize.
With that, I believe our healthcare system is the perfect counterpart to this consumeristic society we belong to. It's not trying to extend our lives and make us healthier, it's just trying to patch us (the machines) up and keep us working on our tasks as to not let the wheels fall off the societal wagon.
Anyhow, I'm done with my soapbox. Thanks for the great chat!
P.S. I am not a communist or some socialist. I am a libertarian, but I also believe in balance. We've gone too far in this society and have allowed for our purpose to be dictated by government, media and Hollywood talking heads.
