How Bad Is Global Health Today?

A sign that people have lost faith in the system.

I submitted a fictional thought piece to social media outlets this week using common catch phrases from the lockdowns, vaccine and mask compliance propaganda and terminologies used to endorse gender “transitions” for children. The subject matter is pretty outrageous, and I’d say laughable. However, my satire piece still managed to come off more convincing than I expected. More than half the people who read it assumed it was the next logical and natural evolution of the Human Centipede level nonsense we get from official global health organizations.

If it seems the inmates are running the asylum lately, it might be on account of the fact that this is apparently a plausible press release from public health agencies today. It was meant to mock it, but for whatever reason, most who read it assumed they were just reading “THE NEXT THING.”

Global Health 2023:

Our aim is to improve the practice of slicing your skin, which we advocate as completely natural and understandable, for some people. We want to raise tolerance and awareness of this practice, and we will no longer tolerate dinosaur, unhealthy negative attitudes toward slicing oneself on purpose.

We want everyone to practice safer self slicing. We would like everyone who cuts themselves on purpose to get free band aids and razors and other slicing implements.

We are no longer calling it “cutting,” “self harm” or “self mutilation.” Anyone who insensitively and discriminatorily uses these bigoted terms will have their social media frozen and if persistent in protesting the proper terminology, bank accounts will be seized and employment opportunities revoked. It should heretofore be referred to as, “skin revision self care” or “self slicing.”

If you do not practice skin revision self care, whether abstinent or hesitant, we mandate you wear band aids visible on your skin to show support so that those who practice don’t feel self-conscious. We also want everyone to know that this practice is completely safe and effective and helps the emotional wellbeing of those who practice. Wearing a band aid shows you have a good understanding of the science of skin revision self care.

We will also have three months of celebration of skin revision self care awareness. And taxes will be raised to promote this “season of self care” to support proper slicing techniques, safety and social approval.

Band aids, razors and other devises for slicing will be handed out to all school children along with year round safety classes showing all kids regardless of their persuasion proper techniques and special class leadership badges will be given to the most brave and courageous slicers throughout the school year.

Obviously, kids that don’t practice can nod and applaud those who do. Privileged children who do not slice already feel special enough for not slicing, so it won’t influence them in any way to have special pomp and circumstance focused on the underprivileged slicer student peers. And of course, the slicing abstinent or hesitant can elevate themselves by showing more championship of the most courageous slicers.

What surprises me more than what a joke public health has become to the masses (not that the notion ever seemed any less than oxymoronic to me) is how the guardians of the agenda sound when they pretend that confidence in public health is as strong as ever.

Here is one such example. Watch as Richard Dawkins is interviewed by Freddy Sayers of Unherd. Dawkins had made some pretty bold and objectively speaking, regrettable remarks about those who refused to comply with ill effective guidance during the most dimwitted part of the pandemic. He seems to be living in an echochamber of absolute nonsense if he believes anything he says. Worse, he’s one of the world’s most famous skeptics, and I don’t see a hint of skepticism in him as he repeats catch phrases like “the speed of science” without a hint of disbelief or humility. Some people never learn, but in this case, I feel like cringing with embarrassment for what an utter “has been” Dawkins has become to the public, along with his cherished Draconian measures, which he takes every possible opportunity and angle to defend.

The olive branch was extended, and Dawkins swatted it away. I love that this video is called, “What I got wrong about Covid” and the answer he gives is essentially, “nothing.”

Dawkins seems to have a pattern of mindless gibberish over the past decade. Even the extreme leftist Substack, Wonkette is scratching their heads with concerns at Dawkins’ low key defense of eugenics on Twitter in 2019. In an article titled, Richard Dawkins And The Eugenics Argument That Literally No One Asked For, Substack journalist, Robyn Pennacchia dives into the seeming madness of Dawkins in modern times.

There is a lot to consider when addressing forgiveness of would be tyrants who used the pandemic as an opportunity to play real loose with morality and common courtesy. But how do we allow people any social superiority to speak like this, even now, after so much exposure of the egregious mistakes made over the past three years? Should they be given a public platform of esteem on any topic in the future of civilization going forward? Other than an example of “what not to do,” I can’t see a place for this guy as an “intellectual” moving forward.

We must forgive for our own sake, in the ways that I have spoken of forgiveness previously here and here, but we can never forget.

Please, let me know your thoughts in the comments.

What’s In My Cup?

After learning the sad truth that my body doesn’t handle raw vegetables and oxalates well, I spent the weekend combatting kidney stone pain. No fun! But I was able to turn to an herbal tincture of chanca piedra and other calcium crumbling herbs. It’s called Stone Breaker by Herb Pharm.

This worked so well for me that after 24 hours, I went from painful feelings reminiscent of back labor contractions (which I had experienced in my kidney for the 24 hours prior with no relief after consuming vinegar and lemon juice alone) to a minor bruised feeling that vanished a day later. I just put a dropper full of this tincture (which I am not going to pretend it tasted nice at all) into a tall glass of water, along with a splash of apple cider vinegar and some fresh squeezed lemon juice. The pain subsided rapidly after each use of the tincture.

Even if you don’t have kidney stones, (I have only had once before in my nearly 50 years on the planet, and it wasn’t nearly as painful then) I recommend keeping Stone Breaker in your herbal medicine kit, just in case. It’s better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it.
