Ok, Folks. I think it's time we all take a calm step back, take a deep, cleaning breath, do some mindful exercises, clear our minds of all the misinformation and some good information and perhaps begin again with clear thinking, from the beginning. This, if you will forgive my bluntness, is nuts!

We're all adults here, all of us have serious and sometimes life threatening illnesses, We are on this wonderful site for people to support one another, to offer understanding and kindness, perhaps even helpful suggestions based on FACTS WE EXPERIENCE IN OUR OWN LIVES...we also add links and research projects and studies with legitimate, based on current information and helpful to us individually and as a whole. This is why we're here and we all benefit greatly from this forum.

But, we don't benefit from accusations, from quoting mis-information from unconfirmed sources or even news sources....who, in our present world, are often no longer properly sourced or supported by more than personal or political bias. I am sick of it all. It's exhausting, folks. It's negative and we all agree that is most unhealthy for us all. We think and choose to let positive thoughts control our lives or we don't do so well with pain and illness and the pure junk this life and many people in it these days put out for our consumption.

We have brains in our own heads, some even use them. I suggest we all do that and think for ourselves. Ignore the news 'professional' who no longer provides professional, well-sourced, multi-sourced, pubic sources NOT anonymous, but factual w/o bias information. Ignore them all!

We are so blessed to have the ability in this electronic world to actually go to the original informational source....Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, Boston, Mass so many really good, knowledgeable research centers to find the real deal. I don't even listen to the medical news and much other news anymore, as it's so often based on bias, is political, incorrect and just plain wrong.

I rely on myself and the research I do to address issues pertaining to me personally, to my body and my personal needs, to my body and my body's requirements to survive with some quality of life.

You know, we are extremely blessed to live in this country. To have the vaccines available, to have the free and democratic system we have. No one knows the truth...I don't know the truth....nor do you nor any other person on this site. Nor do the doctors or the researchers nor do the political groups and beaurocrats nor do the political leaders of any party ~ past or present or future. Truth is yet to be found.

We must get past all this nonsense! Make thoughtful, personal decisions for you own health. Share with kindness, love and hope for the best for others. We must stop the negative, frightening, damaging of others' health...mental and physical and emotional.

Ok? I hope whomever reads this receives it as it's meant. With love, in kindness, in pure frustration of more than 2 years of this madness and arguing. I understand all our frustrations. I had pretty bad reactions to the second shot. I have a bucket full of junk going on in my body. But, I decided without hesitation to take advantage of the best we have at this time. I pray I have antibodies to fight this virus. I know I am not and will not be contagious to others....for crying out loud, when am I ever out with others to be infected and give it to someone else.
That's changing, based on what I read and think and decide.

I WILL NOT LIVE MY LIFE AFRAID OF LIFE, OF A VIRUS WHICH I CAN FIGHT AND BEAT USEING COMMON SENSE AND HELP MYSELF! I WILL BE FREE, THINK FOR MYSELF AND PRAY FOR EVERYONE TO DO THE SAME.

Blessings to you all and may your day improve as you read this and hopefully may you retake control of your life!
