Ilargi at The Automatic Earth leads with some clarifying facts.
The kids are much safer without these shots, much safer on their own, as COVID-19 becomes endemic.
The Ethics of Child Vaccinations
If your chance of survival is 99.99996%, there is no risk. And you don’t need to be inoculated. That would -at best- be equivalent to keeping your kids home 24/7 because you are afraid of what might happen in traffic, or in social life with other kids, or some bogeyman. The risk is never zero, but close enough that we do not act on it, and call it common sense.
The arguments that are usually used are that 1) kids must be jabbed to protect others around them, and 2) that the vaccines have been tested and proven safe. Obviously, 1) is very curious, and never been used before, and 2) is simply a lie: vaccines need years of testing for side effects, not months, and certainly not weeks, as is now the case for the effects on children...
1,5 million adverse reactions, and those are just the ones that have been reported. Now, I don’t know how many people in Europe have been inoculated, but I bet you this is not a 99.99996% success story. The numbers of deaths are not, either.
If the Covid experience is indeed an aesthetic experience, the impotence of our counter arguments, our practical concerns and our personal pains is certainly explained very well. Those we wish to convince to change their minds are not using their minds; those we wish to share our concerns do not have concerns; those we wish to feel our distress cannot see us or our distress: they are caught up in a kind of satisfaction – occasioned by the concerted responses of governments and populations to an invisible global attack – that is comprised of a heady sense of profound community, of fellow feeling on a universal scale. We cannot touch this experience with our facts and our projects and our pains. At the very most, we can only threaten to puncture its ecstasy; insofar as we do that, we are batted away as an inconvenient distraction.
I was really moved by your interview with the woman recently who talked about how she dealt with trying to raise her kids in NYC and all the Cult Covidians. My hat is off to anyone who could make a no-screens policy work. I tried and failed at that. Do you know of groups of like-minded parents, or anyone really, who organize to discuss how to deal with the cult? I know people will say, "Just move" but not always easy to do that. Thanks.
Another beautiful essay Tessa. Thank you! This really resonates with me. "I sing gratitude to the mystery of life that cannot be expressed with words, to the love that shines through everything like a powerful reminder of where we came from to heal this word and enjoy each other to the fullest."
Thank you Tessa from Rachael. "We don't have power to desecrate the sacred." This sentence is staying with me, and another, though it is more difficult for me now to fully embrace a primal trust in everyone or everyone's sincerity. I pray also that we all remain protected, particularly those who need it. I pray that anyone in loving or friendly relation with another will take time to reflect on whether one is contributing to the friend's well-being in a spirit of harmony and collaboration, or unnecessarily exacerbating conflict. But I do agree, if people are sincere on all sides, listening with one's heart will bring healing.
Beautiful words Tessa. Here's to hoping we all find the courage in this time of conflict and discord to remember that love and joy are a natural states of being. Hate, discord and disunity are learned. We can unlearn them, if we choose, to let our hearts guide us back to our natural state. It is a choice we can all make, every day.
