    At this point we see people believe anything an anti vaxxer tells them.

    Just because someone 'only' takes ½dozen out of 7 different kinds of vax - doesn't make one anti vax. But then, it's hard to denigrate - w/out throwing out add homonyms against folks, who refuse to fall in lock step. Irony there - is that this is exactly what the fringe of both sides do to e/other.
    Fringe ... in & of itself another ad homonym .... like continually branding someone cult this, cult that, cult them.

    The great thing about autocorrect is it can add homonyms for you.

    Sounds almost as nasty as C-dif. That Hospital created, unatural bug literally is resistant to every known antibiotic.
    Then along came this "Fringe" that were shoving poo up there own butts & within 24 hours? Cured.
    No more deaths.
    Hard to get hospitals to stop considering 1000s & 1000s per month in antibiotic treatment profits just to keep you from dying when something so natural can actually be a cure. Finally the medical industry agreed with the fringe. LOL
    C-dif nearly killed the better ½ ... we joke about it now after the fact. It was literally the 1st time she was willing to "take my $hi¶". The treatment was so new then, that the hospital had no checkbox on the insurance form for that type of treatment.
    Thank you crazy Fringe - that indulge in some forms of DIY treatments that big Pharma have to eventually come around & admit that regular folks sometimes, have better stuff.

    The Amish don't live in dense cities and live a relatively healthy active life compared to many parts of the US. So while I agree that lots of the lockdown restrictions were silly in many cases as well as non-scientific, a valid comparison of the Amish death rates would have to control for finding a group with similar lifestyles before and during Covid.

    Many also died.
    "Few official statistics are available on COVID-19’s prevalence in the Amish community. However, one Amish man, who asked that his name not be used out of respect for his traditions, said the pandemic has profoundly impacted his friends and neighbors.
    “I’ve lost count of how many people it’s affected in our community,” he said. “I lost one of my very good friends.”"

    Some did follow the guide lines.
    "Like their non-Amish neighbors, the Amish initially restricted large gatherings during the pandemic. However, the community planned to resume church services in time for Easter. The Amish especially love to sing, Reihart said, which brings a heightened danger of transmitting COVID-19. He and other LG Health representatives met with Amish bishops to discuss the dangers of holding large gatherings.
    “After hearing our recommendation, they reversed their initial decision,” Reihart said. “They decided not to have church services for Easter, which is unheard of in the Amish community.”"

    Parts from this article out of the UK

    UK woman suffering from 'aggressive' blood cancer after she received COVID shots - LifeSite

    The Daily Mail reported that 16,824 claims have been submitted to the Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme (VDPS), and 188 Brits so far have received compensation for vaccine-related ailments as of the end of November 2024 at a maximum of £120,000 apiece (potentially reaching a total of more than £22 million, or $27.2 million). Most claims have been denied, but 8,018 are still pending.

    In America, the federal Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) reports 38,264 deaths, 219,594 hospitalizations, 22,134 heart attacks, and 28,814 myocarditis and pericarditis cases as of December 27, among other ailments. CDC researchers have recognized a “high verification rate of reports of myocarditis to VAERS after mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccination,” leading to the conclusion that “under-reporting is more likely” than over-reporting.

    An analysis of 99 million people across eight countries published in February in the journal Vaccine “observed significantly higher risks of myocarditis following the first, second and third doses” of mRNA-based COVID vaccines as well as signs of increased risk of “pericarditis, Guillain-Barré syndrome, and cerebral venous sinus thrombosis,” and other “potential safety signals that require further investigation.”

    In April, the CDC was forced to release by court order 780,000 previously undisclosed reports of serious adverse reactions, and a study out of Japan found “statistically significant increases” in cancer deaths after third doses of mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines and offered several theories for a causal link.

    I read here that Clostridioides species are "ubiquitous in nature and especially prevalent in soil." It doesn't come right out and say this particular Clostridioides species, but this is my first time hearing it was "hospital created". Maybe someone who knows more about soil can chime in.

    First pill for fecal transplants wins FDA approval
    "U.S. health officials on Wednesday approved the first pill made from healthy bacteria found in human waste to fight dangerous gut infections — an easier way of performing so-called fecal transplants.

    The new treatment from Seres Therapeutics provides a simpler, rigorously tested version of stool-based procedures that some medical specialists have used for more than a decade to help patients.

    Both of the recent FDA approvals are the product of years of pharmaceutical industry research into the microbiome, the community of bacteria, viruses and fungi that live in the gut."

    It was experimental in the USA when my better ½ underwent the process. That was maybe a Dozen Years ago. Canadians recognized efficacy before that. With the influx of Chinese immigrants into canada - Canadian medical industry got schooled as to what the Chinese apparently figured out first. U.S. doctors then picked up the knowledge of efficacy from Canadian med industry.
    What's still a mystery is who was that first poor soul who must have experimented on themselves, that figured out introducing nastiness into your own rear end could heal you.

    I had no idea that improving intestinal microbiomes by 'insertion' was an idea from China. Traditional Chinese Medicine has a lot of things which ... make sense to them.

    ==
    One of my ears went bad >decade ago, and I tried many things for recovery. One among those was acupuncture. Doctor was inserting very long needles between my toes and twirling. I said "you know we are talking about my ear, right?"

    That and nothing else brought improvement over time, and for most with SSNHL it is the same. This is an irritation or inconvenience, writ small or large. It also brings chronic tinnitus, which is no picnic (see Van Gogh apocrpyha).

    That would likely be a weightier story if we knew whether his friends were 70 - 80 or more in age.
