Thanks Owasco!

Yes, I too wonder if I had a vaccine injury from the swine flu shot in 2006. Back then, I wasn't as skeptical of vaccines (not that the Covid shots are real vaccines, of course). I was starting to wake up in a general sense, realizing the wars in the middle East were unjust, that parts of the medical system were mostly for profit and not to help people, that governments lied, etc. But I was part of the system, and still only doing the preliminary research into things. I certainly had no idea vaccines caused major health issues or came with serious risks. When my boss started to lay on the pressure, I kept saying "but I feel fine, and I never get sick, I don't think I need it". She said "you might pass on something to a patient, and get us all in trouble, you have to have the vaccine or you might get fired". Weasel words. She never said I would definitely be let go. But the pressure was real, and I didn't want to be in trouble, so finally I relented. And yeah, sick for 2 weeks, missed work and everything. First time I had been sick in years. I seemed to make a full recovery, but looking back on things now, I can see that I did start to have serious health issues just a few years later. They were transient, and not too disruptive... just things like IBS and a little pain. But within 10 years of the injection I was completely messed up. A lot of doctors pointed at my grandmother's death as the culprit (early 2016), saying "stress and sadness take a real toll on the body". They would point to my anxiety, which was the result of my horrible physical symptoms, as the cause of those symptoms. That just made me more upset... and when I got upset they said "I told you so - you are anxious and stressed, and it manifests as all the symptoms you're complaining about!" Really maddening. Nobody wants to do anything, they just want to blame the patient for everything, literally, and tell you to get therapy or take SSRIs.

Thanks for the TWC link. I'm a fan of the FLCCC and their protocols and research. And the frontline docs, but they are exclusive to the USA. I like paying for things out of pocket when it comes to healthcare. That's not very common here in Canada, but as I've said for years, free healthcare isn't free - and you get what you pay for. The "free" system is essentially useless unless you cut yourself or break a bone. They can't handle complicated and/or chronic issues and you just get bounced around forever. Paying for care directly hurts, when you're on limited income and already paying for the "free" care through taxes, but I find it much more effective. For example, before we moved I had a doctor in the Okanagan who was somewhat awake, unvaxxed, and willing to bend the system rules a bit. She charged $40 a visit to keep the private clinic open, but I was willing to pay, because she actually listened and eventually got me the Holter monitor booked (not that I was able to get it done before we moved). In 2016, I was seeing a naturopath, which also charged per visit because it's not considered real healthcare by the government here, but she was great with supplements and diet, something no standard doctor will ever talk about. I've actually asked doctors if my diet could have anything to do with my health issues, and some LAUGHED at me, or at the very best, said "definitely not". Do they not know diet is at least half of health? Or do they feign ignorance because that's what their employer (Big Pharma / the government) tells them to do? In any case, I find paying for care to be a good thing, even if it cuts into my pocketbook.

A very happy and healthy new years to you and yours :))
