🍒 Wonderful- I asked my son first if it was okay and he just laughed, and said of course, ‘we just lived through one of the most locked down cities in the world’. His healthy heart turns 21 next week so we have a lot to be grateful for. But it’s often not a perfect world so we try to support the vulnerable as best we can.

Unfortunately, his previously healthy (non smoker) grandfather ( 4 shots and flu v) developed oesophageal cancer a few months after first few injections …coincidence? Anyway, reality stares us in the face. We are acutely aware of all who have lost loved ones from Covid, stolen from the before their time, these past few years. But the reality is, we are losing loved ones from the injections. VAERS shows this, the trial data shows this.

Anyone, I mean anyone, no matter how zealous they were in the past - who perhaps like Dr Malhatra, who lost his father or a patient -who now speaks the truth and provides even anecdotal evidence can make an exponential difference. They can save lives, lives they may never even know about. And I for one would be grateful they stepped up - whatever has happened in the past is a separate issue to be dealt with in time. Right now we need everyone to find their voice and shout as loud as they can.

Our family story is rather long but I will add a little more. It was another cardiologist and their colleague that advised my mum to make her own decision and against all the other doctors advice -( prior to 2020 she had ALL / leukaemia survived against the odds but one of the lumbar punctures due to incompetence left her with a spinal cord injury - she signed a consent form) so she refused to take the risk. I really believe that honest advice from an impartial doctor, despite the relentless pressure from her personal doctors saved her life. I know that these doctors, who were simply willing to follow their oath, rather than CDC guidelines will have made an incredible difference to countless lives, but even if it was only one life, they would know now they did no harm. And now we all know - it doesn’t stop transmission ( not that effective) and it can cause serious harm (not really safe).

Boy, that reply took on a life of its own! A long and rock road speckled with anti vax vitriol but we keep trying to make the best decisions we can and a shout out to the substack writers and readers who are helping us understand and navigate some of the new, sometimes overwhelming reality we are facing and likely to face in the future.

Beautiful, we need to hear lots of these anecdotes. We have been overfed and choked with data but stories from families are the real thing. We come away from them with a message we can touch and smell. May you and your loved ones keep the courage going.
