This is a follow up for a sub I posted a few days ago when I suddenly came down with a 100.8 fever and a weird headache.

Two days later, my temp is 99.0 and the headache is gone. My nose is a little clogged and runny.

I have seen no doctor, taken no tests of any kind. I've just been sunbathing for about 30-45 minutes, slamming down pure orange juice and homemade chicken soup, taking zinc and vitamin C and D supplements. Also a low dose of benzo for good, deep, unbroken 10 hours of sleep. Had to change my bedsheets after that first night, woke up soaked in sweat (at least I hope that's what it was!).

I honestly was kind of shaken up. I know covid is bullshit. I question its existence, but even if it exists, I'd survive it just fine. This just shows how powerful being told the same lie over and over for 2 years can be- it can make me question what I know, make me feel like I'm in far more danger than I truly am.

I wanted to thank you users who commented on my original sub. You gave me a morale boost, hardened my resolve, helped me to stop questioning myself. My immune system is doing what it's evolved to do. Getting upset and worrying about covid bullshit does not help.

That exact scenario played through my mind and made me shudder. It's one thing if you're drinking and taking it, you know you're getting fucked up big time. Someone eating a grapefruit is prime for a potential sneak attack. Scary thought

Hm, now that I think on it... I can't recall the last time I've received a medication from a doctor and been warned about anything listed on the bottle.

Dirty secret of the medical industry... so I was a pharmacy technician for a while. Most doctors don't know shit about the medications they are prescribing. They don't understand how it affects the body, long-term effects, interactions, etc..

In the USA, we call them "pharmacists", but most of the world knows them as "chemists". These are the people who studied the effects of chemicals on the human body. These are the people that often catch POTENTIALLY LETHAL mistakes made by doctors.

It would terrify you if I told you how many times I went to fill a prescription, saw the list of meds the patient was on, and immediately realized "Holy shit if this guy takes this he might die". Then I tell the pharmacist, he/she confirms this, calls the doctor and tells him/her they are a dumbass, and find an alternative. This is like 50% of the job of a pharmacist, fixing doctor's fuck-ups.

That is truly a scary thought. I know that a lot of these guys are incentivized by big pharma sales reps more than anything, and we just trust them to be honest and well meaning when they write a prescription. Thank goodness for the ones looking out, it's terrifying to think of how many deaths are caused by mistakes and medical malpractice. Thank goodness for the ones actually looking out.

These fucking reps come into doctor's office with a case full of their new drug and pamphlets and shit. They often arrange a deal with a doctor- if they prescribe X amount of this new drug, they get $X.

This is how a lot of the SSRI anti-depressant drugs became MASSIVELY over-prescribed, like Prozac, Zoloft, etc.. Not because it's effective, but becaue it's PROFITABLE.

Also, something I'll never understand, and never reconcile- SSRI drugs have serious potential side effects, INCLUDING SUICIDAL AND HOMICIDAL IDEATION. Meaning, the person will suddenly start daydreaming or planning to hurt themselves. Shrinks call this "intrusive thoughts". So knowing that these side effects are possible, how is it ethical to GIVE THIS DRUG THAT COULD POTENTIALLY MAKE YOU SUICIDAL OR HOMICIDAL TO A DEPRESSED PERSON?!

I'll point to the Columbine shooting. Eric Harris, the alleged mastermind of the shooting, had been seeing a shrink for months before the shooting, relating to an incident where he and Dylan Klebold broke into a vehicle and stole some computer equipment. They had prescribed him Luvox (Fluvoxamine), an SSRI anti-depressant. After a few weeks, Eric was in a therapy session, and he described his desire to hurt people and hurt himself. The poor kid's brain chemistry was all jacked up, he didn't understand why he felt this way.

So of course the doctor weened him off of the Luvox, right? NOPE!! They gave him THE SAME DRUG under a different brand, a generic I believe. Same dose, same drug, sent him back out into the world. 3 months or so later, he murders 13 students, 1 teacher, and injures many other students.

The autopsy found no traces of drugs in Dylan Klebold. No pot, no booze, nothing. Eric Harris's autopsy found ONE drug in his system, at therapeutic levels (meaning he had been taken it regularly, as directed). No meth, no pot, no heroin- just an "anti-depressant" which made him feel like hurting people. And he reported this, and it was fucking dismissed. The doctors involved in this have blood on their fucking hands, and I hope they struggle to sleep. I hope they see Eric, Dylan, and all of the victims' faces when they sleep.
