]]>First, our economic health has been severely weakened. Our nation was already a teetering ship economically prior to the forced lockdowns and shutdown of the world economy, but thanks to the governmental response and our collective acceptance of it, our national debt increased nearly 9 Trillion Dollars—5 Trillion of that was from 2020 alone. Our supply chain was severely disrupted, and the economic pump still needs some priming in order to get it flowing again.
Secondly our children’s academic health has suffered. Face masks inhibit communication. Young children learning to speak and read missed valuable opportunities to learn proper articulation, pronunciation, and facial and emotional discernment because of the masks. Children literally missed several months to a year or more in their academic progress. This loss will be nearly impossible to overcome and will cause less productivity and innovation in our nation’s future.
Thirdly, our mental health suffered. Isolation, lack of human contact and touch, less social interaction— these lead to depression, anxiety, loneliness, and other maladies of the mind. Humans are social creatures in need of contact. We became a nation of scaredy cats (or were revealed as one). The forced lockdowns did severe, and possibly, irreparable harm to our collective mental health.
What about our spiritual health? Churches were shut down-even when they made very reasonable accommodations to the pandemic—like meeting outside or in cars in a parking lot. The government overreach was despicable!
Finally, our physical health suffered. Children missed already scheduled vaccinations because of closed medical offices, adults missed diagnostic tests, screenings, and regular checkups that could have prevented cancer, heart problems, stroke, diabetes…. Was the health trade worth it? I say no. Should we have implemented common sense practices to actually slow the spread? Absolutely! Wash your hands, stay home when feverish or likely contagious, sleep, exercise, take supplements, eat right—sure. But stay home, wear a mask, don’t touch, don’t visit grandma or friends—absolutely not!
I’m sure I missed some things as I am musing and rambling, but I need to express myself.

]]>I’ve watched people get sick from this illness and die or have long-term symptoms. I decided to get vaccinated after several months of musing. I have tested positive once, and probably had covid back in March of 2020. At that time, there were no tests to be found. The reason I decided to get vaccinated was that I would have been very angry with myself if I got covid again, (which we all know we can–vaccinated or not) and had to miss work. I did not, and do not, want to miss work over covid or end up in a hospital.
What about the seeming ineffectiveness of the vaccines? Well, they definitely do not prevent the contracting of covid, but they do seem to lessen the symptoms if one contracts it again. What about the inconsistencies and silliness that surrounds this illness? Where do I start? We have been lied to; treated like children, and the “powers that be” have attempted brainwashing. They have succeeded on many Americans. We are the only nation I know that does not even consider natural immunity in the equation. We have high school athletes in Illinois wearing masks down around their chins because their dictatorial governor insists on a mask mandate in Illinois public schools. If you don’t believe me, just look up Illinois high school basketball news and see for yourself. It is obvious to me that Pfizer and Moderna have benefited greatly from this pandemic, but this only serves to illustrate the already established fact that America is a corporatist state, bordering on a form of fascism. The government, corporations, and even unions are now in the metaphorical bed together–leaving the average American with nowhere to turn. (I guess Johnson and Johnson is somehow persona non grata. You know 28 people with blood clots out of the 8.7 million who have taken the vaccination–I mean it’s less of a risk than just being alive, but we must destroy them for some reason.) Just to illustrate the silliness of the J&J attacks, (and I am not an apologist for J&J) between 100,000- 300,00 people die from blood clots every year. So, pray tell me, why is the J&J vaccination dangerous?
The J&J smearing just illustrates another yuge problem in America today: there ain’t no such a thing as a free press–at least in the major media.
