You say that you aren't a vax denier or a covid denier, but then you launch into all your arguments again. I lived through the pandemic too. I remember that there were people who were dealing with the public who were required to get vaccines, and that wasn't something I was opposed to. I believe in the efficacy of vaccines. A vaccine isn't a death sentence. My recollection is that not that many people had bad reactions to the vaccines. When you receive a vaccine, they are not ripping your arm off or chopping your head off. If you have a bad reaction to it, you'll recover.
However, I don't know everything about every incident that occurred during the pandemic, and that is why I can't debate the points you raise (beyond making general statements). The pandemic was a difficult situation for everyone, and our elected leaders (except Trump of course) did their best to deal with it.
My participation in this discussion is over. This is a Substack about transgender overreach, and your concerns about alleged government overreach during the pandemic don't belong here. I quickly scanned your last post, and I won't be reading any more of them if they are about the response to the pandemic. Among other things, you are spouting facts which sound like they came from right-wing media. I read the mainstream news all during the pandemic, and I was satisfied that the government was doing as best as it could during a bad situation.
By the way, above you said "in my country alone" -- what country is that? I am in the U.S., and I can't speak to issues that arose in any other country.
Since you were the one who started the covid conversation I guess you feel you have the right to end it. That is fine with me. I have deleted my own previous comments since I happen to agree this is not a good place to discuss this. I was referred to this newsletter and it is my first time here. Obviously it is not as free thinking as the newletter that originally referred me. I think tho you should read the comment in this same newsletter comment section from Dr Theresa Goodall where she points out that only about 20% percent of medical practice is actually scientifically backed. So to think that only the medical transitioning of minors is not scientifically backed seems like gullibility to me. That was my original point and I am sorry that I seemed to have struck such a covid nerve.
No, I didn't start the conversation. You started it when you mentioned "the covid koolaid", and I wanted to know what you meant. In every area of life and work there are good things happening and bad things happening. I am focussed on the trans issue. My issue with you is that you come across as a conspiracy theorist on multiple issues. For example, if you believe that only about 20% of medical practice is based on science, then that gets me thinking that you might be the kook here. My own experience with medicine and science is that it is mostly on the right track, but that there are gaps in our knowledge that will be filled in with time.
