My energy & spirits have been pretty low of late, mostly. I still draft the occasional post – then decide it's too darn dreary to share with anyone. For example, I drafted one a while back about how some days I feel as though there's an elephant sitting on my chest. Not my fun-est mood! One interesting thing about that mood is that when I'm in it, it seems to me as though it's not "personal" ... if you know what I mean. It feels like "Weltschmerz," a German word meaning "mental depression or apathy caused by comparison of the actual state of the world with an ideal state." Or as I've come to think of it, grief for the state of the world. I guess I've been putting a bit of my own spin on its meaning, thinking of it as a low mood/feeling possibly just kind of “out there” … in the ether?? Maybe other people feel this way sometimes too? I can't be sure. All I know is, I think what I wrote was a decent enough essay – but. as I said – pretty darn dreary. So. I've spared you all that one!
Being pissed off?
I'm actually kind of relieved that something is pissing me off enough to write about it!
'cos another thing about my low moods of late is that often, I just feel kind of numb. Things don't really outrage me like they used to. I joke that my outrage meter busted a long while back. Which is not really very funny - but ... it's true! There's just so much to be pissed off & outraged about in the world these days, that that kind of energy mostly isn't there for me anymore. It seems to have burned itself out.
I don't enjoy feeling numb. I used to be such a passionate person!
But it’s ... real.
So.
Just being honest about it, okay?
Another item I drafted a while back was called 'Radical Honesty.' But it was pretty dreary too. So I've spared you that one too!
Here's What Set Me Off The Other Day
I've been watching episodes of that old hospital show 'ER.'
Yeah, don't ask...
It was a TV show that ran from 1994 - 2009, but since I was a non-tv owner/watcher for many-many years in there, I didn't catch it then.
Nor was I then aware of 'Operation Mockingbird!'
I enjoy 'ER' cos it takes me away from reality (which is a little on the depressing side these days. Ya think?) The characters are interesting, if sometimes infuriating. You know ... just a medical soap opera, basically.
One major reason I've found it aggravating is that in almost every episode, tetanus shots are pushed. Almost every single episode!
Honestly. Absurd.
As it happens, I am not a fan of vaccines. Not any of them. Not that I was always this way. All explained pretty thoroughly here:
So I find this constant, relentless push on the tetanus vaccine quite annoying.
Also irritating is the B.S. the show spews about HIV-AIDS (and the medication AZT), stuff I never used to be at all well-informed about – not until I read RFK Jr's book about Dr. Fauci. “The Real Anthony Fauci: Bill Gates, Big Pharma, and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health”
Ai-yi-yi. Quite the tale, Fauci & AIDS & AZT. And, of course, Covid. It's horrifying, actually.
Then there was the episode fear-mongering about cervical cancer. And hepatitis.
And the B.S. about SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, which so many of us now understand occurs in most cases after recent childhood vaccinations).
What has now become wildly, glaringly apparent to me is the whole phenomenon of the pharmaceutical industry so obviously funding these old medical/hospital shows.
It wouldn't have been obvious to me back then ... but then, I wasn't watching the show(s) then! So I was blissfully unaware of all the vaccine propaganda that all these TV shows were constantly spewing over the airwaves.
And which, let's be honest, I would almost certainly have been as taken in by as your average Jane/Joe – since my ignorance about vaccines was very-very vast in those years. For decades & decades of my life, in fact (all this explained in the Why I’m an Anti-Vaxxer posting).
So. Then, the other day...
I watched an ER episode (from Season 7, the one called 'Walk in the Woods'; would’ve been in 2000 I think?), & didn't a huge measles scare blow up as the major engine of the episode!
Outrageous, shocking, outright lies about how dangerous measles is.
Slanders against parents who don't give their kids all the shots.
And then, they actually killed off the kid who'd come in with measles!
Yikes.
Wayyyyy over the top.
Blatant fear-mongering & outrageous, outright lies about measles.
And vaccines.
It made my blood boil.
I gather there's yet another measles scare taking place right now.
As we speak.
Clearly, these get trotted out on a regular basis!
Geez.
p.s. a week later: Whoa. In Season 8 they concluded the season with a BIG smallpox scare. This would’ve been in 2001, I reckon? The episode was called ‘Lockdown.’ Terms mentioned included contact tracing & PCR tests. Lots of mask use, & hysteria, & people simply clamouring madly for a vaccine. They killed off a kid with smallpox. Oh, & the CDC had a starring role. A very very authoritative guy from CDC bossing everyone around.
Measles, eh?
I'm not going to say a whole lot about measles here.
It's been done, is being done, quite well elsewhere.
I've written about it myself a time or two.

Measles section of the Why I'm an Anti-Vaxxer post <Nov. 2022>
This short (6-minute) video of a presentation to the Toronto Board of Health in April 2019 contains quite a bit of helpful information about measles shots & their possible health consequences.
Heck, all you really need to do to get smart about "the measles shot" is read the darn “inserts” that come with those shots!
Those inserts/monographs that your friendly local "health professional" does NOT share with you. Or with other parents.
Here's just one example (of an MMR vaccine monograph) right here.
Be sure to read the sections on Warnings & Precautions and Adverse Reactions.
It very quickly becomes clear that you're basically playing Russian Roulette having this vaccine (or any other one for that matter) administered to your child/ren.
We oldsters (I'm 71 now) got measles as kids – before the childhood vaccine schedule went exponential.
Measles, chickenpox, mumps.
Mild childhood illnesses.
Not a big deal.
Not at all.
But here we go again!
Another measles scare.
As though measles was the Plague – instead of a minor childhood illness.
Sigh.
Quite possibly anyone who's reading this essay knows as well as I do that we're just being jerked around – yet again – on this front (& then there's the bird flu scare. Disease X. Or whatever the heck other hoax/psyop is underway or being planned).
And won't need to check out my postings about inserts – or the section about measles in my Why I'm an Anti-Vaxxer posting.
Well. So. To Wrap This Up
Likely you, as a reader, know all this stuff as well as I do.
But you may know someone who's being taken in by this latest measles scare.
Below you can find some odds & ends of items that you/they could dive into to get themselves up to speed – & help protect some children's lives.
Interestingly & not so very surprisingly, really, many doctors who used to support the childhood vaccine program have, in the Covid era, done some research & discovered what I did when I took my own deep dive into the entire vaccine paradigm several years ago now.
That it's been a scam from Day 1. Vaccines are neither safe nor effective, & indeed are not even properly placebo-tested for safety. And vaccine injury is all around us. Not rare at all. It's all been possibly the biggest, nastiest scam ever foisted on humanity. Nasty, nasty, nasty.

There's also Aaron Siri, a heroic U.S. lawyer who wins lawsuits against the U.S. government on matters relating to vaccines, & whose Substack, 'Injecting Freedom,' is here. He's been writing a series lately called ‘Vax Facts’ & has done a couple recently about measles. Check it out!
Toby Rogers is also brilliant on the vaccine scam as a whole, & how the pharmaceutical industry has profited so hugely from it. His Substack 'UTobian' is here.
Oh, and speaking of vaccine “inserts” or monographs?
