Gambling can be fun and rewarding and it can ruin one's life. The gambler is eternally optimistic that the next hand, spin of the wheel, lottery ticket or roll of the dice will be the one that pays off in a big way and makes up for all of one’s losses.
Casinos and lotteries exist because the odds are in their favor. There are some winners that we can dream about becoming, and that keeps the game attractive but for most it is a losing game.
Depending on modern medicine to manage a problem that they cannot or at the very least refuse to fix is a disaster as many observers and statistics are making abundantly clear. Managing chronic disease with toxic drugs may seem like a win when symptoms are suppressed, but it is only temporary and we end up giving it all back when new symptoms appear or side effects become as much of an issue as the original problem.
The pandemic has brought a new wrinkle to this process. We have been told that viruses exist and we should only treat viral illness like Covid-19 when it gets bad enough to send us to the hospital. Once there, treatment options and success are limited and some say it is better to stay out of the hospital if at all possible.
Even if early treatments were allowed and encouraged, any sense of relief would only be an illusion as the problems are deeper and require much more than a few doses of an off-label med.
The health issues that are the result of a misunderstanding or ignorance of what it takes to be healthy combined with the immoral steamroller of the medical industrial complex have created a problem that will require enormous effort to fix, both on an individual and societal level.
Humanity has been gambling on quackcines for decades. It is time to realize it is a losing proposition to inject poison and expect better health as an outcome.
We have rolled the dice. Are we going to double down on the next shot to be the one that frees us from this pandemic?
There is no big score that some thought the mRNA gene therapy might offer. From everything I have seen to date, the odds are against us. Shall we fall into the gambler’s pattern that the next hand, spin or shot will be the one that finally delivers health, or will we take that upon ourselves and realize this is not a game we should be playing?
