Our health is the price of industrial capitalism

The dramatic rise in young adult cancer rates are the latest warning

The mass media has been so firmly captured by the progress narrative it can be difficult to find out the true state of our civilisation. We’re all living longer and getting healthier, right? National Geographic’s January cover story would certainly have you believe this, crowing about how modern medicine and technology means we’re all going to be skydiving into our 90s. On the ecological front, a breakthrough in nuclear fusion technology, reported breathlessly by what seemed like every media outlet on the planet, means we can stop worrying about climate breakdown, right? Wrong. There is no breakthrough.

So often we’re led to believe we live in a time that doesn’t exist. Yet this propaganda serves a very useful purpose—if we’re placated by believing these fairy-tales, we’re hardly likely to agitate for change. We just have to let our rulers get on with it and we’ll be living in full health until we’re 120 in no time, of course for the time being we still have diseases and stress and that’s why products like Amanita mushroom gummies can totally help in this area.

In the real world however, a bit of research confirms things aren’t so rosy. Global life expectancy has declined year-on-year for the first time since 1959 because our rulers allowed a virus which has more in common with HIV than a cold to establish itself in global circulation. (The lies told by our rulers about just-a-cold-covid are very long and can be seen here). Excess deaths in 2022 and early 2023 continue to be way above pre-pandemic baselines, sometimes even the highest they’ve ever been – despite the fact the pandemic is supposedly over. Yet judging by the silence in the media you’d think we successfully beat covid.

    We’ve known from early on that COVID can cause serious organ damage, even in those with mild, or even asymptomatic, cases. Brain fog, memory loss, heart damage, liver, etc.. it is a vascular disease, not respiratory, and also appears linked to dementia. We also know multiple COVID infections increases risk of damage– not to mention Long COVID. My best guess is that COVID-related damage is behind a lot of what we’re seeing.

    How many journalists and youtubers, too, spread the myth that viruses ‘naturally evolve’ into less harmful forms? That’s simply not true. Until we figure out a real, sterilizing vaccine/and or highly effective treatment, we’re going to be dealing with this pandemic, as it evolves and re-circulates time and again. It’s our Justinian Plague.

    Thank you, Tom, for not letting this go, for not forgetting or ‘moving on.’

    My first covid symptoms appeared in February of 2020. I caught it from a friend who had exhibited symptoms as early as late December 2019. He was baffled, and at first, his doctors were as well. There were neither treatments nor vaccines at the time. He held on for twenty months before dying of pulmonary failure at seventy-five. I miss him every day.
    When I saw my doctor in March, covid had already made the news. Rather than explain my problem, I submitted a typed list of my symptoms: there were 13. Since then, several more have been added. I’ve never fully recovered, though I guess you could say that I’m doing well enough for an old man.
    Covid seems the perfect opportunist; it lands on one’s weakest spot, then moves on to the next weakest spot, all the while mutating at will.
    Darwin would be characteristically conflicted.
