Recovering ahead of schedule, just got the pacemaker wires out, but I do have a scratchy throat all of a sudden in this hospital that maybe has 70% mask usage for staff (and zero for patients). Coughing hurts like hell, better not get covid again for a while. Oxygen is low 90s unless I take intentionally deep breaths. Now the concern goes to what my employer plans to do with me. Before this, the plan was for me to work in the office for the first time in years during December, as my coworker went back to India for a month, and I was supposed to do all of his work too. That plan was giving me a lot of stress on its own. Now the CEO seems to have outsourced everything he can to Filipinos making $10 AUD an hour (already in motion before this) and got some cheap temp for the stuff that has to be done in the office. Not loving the idea of entering my late 40s looking for work with new physical limitations. Blue collar work was always the fallback in the past.

I just finished watching this Netflix documentary on Dr Paolo Macchiarini, who perpetrated an atrocious, I would say inhumane con by selling people on the idea of plastic prosthetic tracheas, which he'd then allegedly coat with stem cells so that they'd integrate into the patient's body and become living tissue of course, none of this was real - he never did any animal trials, never even had stem cells, and basically just stitched plastic tubes into peoples's throats and then they died of rot and infection. He did this to at least eight patients, of which only one survived and only because they had their prosthetic removed what raised my eyebrows beyond the regular amount was that Macchiarini worked for the Karolinska Institute, the premier medical facility in Sweden, and supposedly a globally recognized and prestigious medical center. When Macchiarini's colleagues uncovered the fraud that he was perpetrating, they went to the Karolinska's Chancellor about it, and nothing ever happened. They stonewalled and ignored the allegations. When the report made to Karolinska's leadership was leaked and it became front-page news on the New York Times, the chancellors circled the wagons around Macchiarini, made a public statement that he had committed no wrongdoing, and set the police to harass the whistleblowers under the premise that this was all a case of professional jealousy the whole coverup aspect of it really did not sit well with me, but I sort of brushed it off and chalked it up to the fact that I was deep into a podcast series about the Olof Palme assassination and maybe I was just being paranoid but then, in the final act of the documentary, a camera crew that's following around Macchiarini for yet another chronicle of his work manages to puzzle out the fraudulent practice themselves, and they turn their documentary into an expose about him, and that leads to the doctor being charged with three counts of aggravated assault Macchiarini is convicted on one count, but the court acquits him on two others, citing that those patients were already dying anyway and that's what really shocked me and took me to another place, mentally, because it's Deaths Pulled From the Future, and it's being cited by the same country that was the world leader in letting 'er rip on COVID I don't know. It bothered me a lot, and I'm writing this all down in an attempt to process.

How is this not extortion? (self.Ask_Lawyers)quote:In october of 2019 I had an encounter with a racoon that caused the county health department to recommend I get the rabies vaccine. In case you didn't know rabies is 99% fatal if not treated before symptoms. I have ACA insurance which is crap, but how much would a few shots be right? Receiving the shots involved one completely unnecessary visit to the ER, and 3 visits to an outpatient facility to receive a single shot a week apart each. Atrium health charged my insurance $20,000, for which they negotiated down to them (insurance) paying $2,000 and me owing $5,500. One might say, wow you only have to pay $5,500 of a $20,000 bill, and that was the line the Atrium and BCBSNC both told me, it made me furious!

I've personally seen it too many times to remember. Also a good example of why you can't leave it to the courts to decide on handling questions of ethics and morals when they make decisions such as that.

The answer is that it very much is extortion. Its simply less obscured than capital prefers its extortion to be. Its legal because they wrote the laws.

Hilda Bastian put together another excellent update on next-generation vaccine development on their blog. These are always worth reading to get a sense for whether improved vaccine protection might eventually become available and the associated timeline. The main news this update is that three US Project Nextgen candidates will enter phase 2B trials in 2024, two of which are intranasal vaccines. From the update:quote:https://absolutelymaybe.plos.org/20...-vax-update-12/ quote:... The so-called "pancoronavirus" vaccines that might address COVID's rapid evolution are much more theoretical at this point and apparently all still only at the phase 1 stages. Probably not worth paying attention to at present.

extortion is the use of coercion to get someone to act against their interests . coercion on this context usually means the use of force or the threat of the use of force to cause bodily harm ie lower the price of the drug or you will be tortured
