The Virus and the Vaccine Pt. 1 - Sorting out the information
The purpose of this article is to address the continuing promotion of the Covid virus and the fear and concern it generates. Part 2 will give detail on prevention and how to lessen the effect of viral infections, including Covid, and to build resistance to adverse vaccine reactions.
Questions:
Is it real or manmade? Is it a flu? Will it kill me if I ‘’catch’’ it? A mask will keep me safe, or will it? Is my hand sanitizer the right one? Did closing the state borders really stop us from dying of Covid? Yes or no? Will a vaccine protect me from Covid? Is it a tool used by the ‘baddies’ to dominate the world or the “goodies’’ to keep us safe? I want to have the vaccine, but should I? How come 20,000 people can go to a footy game in Brisbane and not create another Covid ‘’wave”, but I must keep apart from others in public and only small amounts of people are allowed inside? Do I know the full story?
Answer:
We don’t know the full story and I feel we never will. I will be happy do as the rules apply irrespective of the confusion and my own opinion. Why? Because a constant state of fear and stress affects the immune system, nervous system, and overall health, and if I have an existing health condition it will make that worse too! My focus needs to be to strengthen my immune system and overall health, and to be aware, informed but mindful, careful of what my mind and my mouth takes in.
Media: We all watch, listen, and read differing news reports. Generally, mainstream media’s daily report may magnify Covid news, as it does with all news. It’s a commercial, competitive industry, that has become political of late, so listen for facts rather than opinion. Or, don’t listen/watch at all. Negative news is rather addictive and contributes to fear for our future.
Social media: It will tell us the juicy news we don’t hear from mainstream media. We get the opinion of any and every individual who wants a voice, a mix of fact and fiction. Doomsday scrolling, brings fear also, along with too much time in the screen. And that screen, shut it down early at night and don’t take it to the bedroom or bed with you. The Wi-Fi EMF radiation depletes the immune system too.
Reality: No matter our opinion, for or against; right or wrong; the Governments decision on vaccination is real, based on the premise that it will restore life as an “after Covid” normal. Our security is knowing that we live in the safest country in the world. The government will attend to its responsibilities, and we need to focus on our own. We may have ideas on how the nation ought to be governed. The most effective, proactive way to address this is to write to the local member, the politician responsible, or the Prime Minister. See ref (4) for website to write direct to the PM. He is also open to letters of support, encouragement, and thanks, too.
Overseas Covid comparison to Australia: Our advantage is that Australia is a warm island nation with 25 million people with landmass the size of the USA. The USA is a cool country with 328 million people. The cool European Union countries total 448 million. Australia’s geography, temperatures, and population density vary greatly to these northern hemisphere cool land masses with population density 13 – 18 times greater than ours. The testing, treatments, and health regulations will differ to ours and we have the advantage of sparse population in a warm country. The Covid virus does not like heat. You will notice that all cases in Australia have come in via plane or boat and were mostly dealt with at point of entry. Some mistakes made by the States early on but are organised now.
Let’s rationalize some of this: Cases: The media reports a positive result of a Sars-Covid-19 test as a ‘case’. This is misleading as it portrays the idea that these people are sick with the virus. This is not so. Deaths are recorded as Covid deaths, irrespective of other health complications where they may have died with Covid, and not because of it. Media detail on Covid cases and deaths is limited. Factual detail as at 13/12/20 is on the govt. website see (5): Australian stats recorded from 22/1/2020 to 13/12/2020: 28,031 cases (positive tests). 25,473 recovered (virus gone), 36 hospitalized, none in ICU. Of the 908 deaths, 723 aged 80 +. = 76% of deaths. Of the 685 deaths in Aged Care, Victoria registered 655 deaths. Earlier in the year Victoria and other countries moved infected patients in hospital to Aged Care, inflating these figures. Majority in aged care have comorbidities, immunocompromised, on medical drugs, immune systems poor, and the reason for death unclear, but recorded as Covid deaths. Refer the website at (5).
Medications: There were medications (pharmaceutical drugs) used overseas that were successful in treatment of hospitalized Covid actual cases. To my knowledge little to none of these were accepted by the Medical and Health authorities in Australia. www.health.gov.au does not educate on prevention, other than hygiene advice. These authorities will not provide us with prevention and treatment protocols using natural medicine. You will have become aware from social media and other news sources this year, that vitamins D & C and zinc are important, and many will have implemented a program to stay well. More on prevention and treatment plans will be in Part 2.
Vaccines: Traditionally vaccines are produced over five year plus time frames. (2), trials need time for adverse health effects to surface. Be thankful the Australian Government will wait until March 2021 before starting vaccination here as the UK program which began a week ago will give us feedback re possible reactions etc. (1) For those wanting to know the ingredients in the vaccine, see this link (3). Vaccine manufacturers are exempted from any liability from lawsuits. This is standard practice and applies to all vaccines. The vaccine is not a panacea(cure-all) for the Covid-19 virus. Dr Terry Wahls said ‘’We can’t drug ourselves to health’’. Nor can we vaccinate ourselves to health!
Nutritional Medicine: There are key nutrients known to strengthen the body’s immunity to all viruses. These nutrients, culinary, nutritional, and medicinal, are readily available to all in Australia. Nutritional supplements are concentrated food. When we take therapeutic doses they become like medicine, and dosages may need monitoring. Herbal medicines may need to be checked when prescribed drugs are used; your naturopath or pharmacist will help. Everyone’s immune system is different therefore dosages are important.
Summary: * We can do so much ourselves. * We don’t die from Covid. * Deaths are from the effect the virus has on various organs. * Build immunity and especially the respiratory system (lungs, the muscles of respiration and the airway) * Australia is unique in its relation to the Covid phenomena, as are all countries. * Was it never a big threat to us as in USA & Europe * Covid activity was in major cities and areas of entry into Australia. * The vast majority of Australians had no Covid experience. * Statistics can be skewed by a number of confounding influences, including testing and recording of deaths. * Recorded deaths in all areas of the world are in the age bracket where deaths naturally occur. * Overall death rates remain at historical averages with less influenza, and other diseases recorded. * Deaths by age group has not altered either. www.abs.gov.au * Media hype continues with the word ‘pandemic’ and broadcasting of newly infected persons, even if only one, promoting the need for vaccination of the masses.
Part 2 will detail information to build immunity to Covid and all viruses. A strong immune system will help to overcome any adverse reactions, if is necessary to accept the Covid mRNA vaccination.
