A friend just went through a rough trot with the virus and she posted this up Facebook.
Years ago, she came here as a 20yo from Bosnia without a word of English and I’ll wager she was on my father’s bus out of Portsea when she did.
The size of her intellect and wit is only exceeded by that of her heart.
This may take a couple of reads to digest before the enormity of what isn’t being said falls on your understanding.
Without giving anything away, here it is.
—
I just want to say thank you to all my family and friends for being there and caring so much for me.
Thank you for all the soups and goodie drop offs. You know who you are and without you I would have been screwed.
For everyone that offered to help and who was there to positively surround me with their kindness and loving energy I am forever grateful. When you’re down on your knees struggling for the next breath all on your own, love and kindness from others will get through hard times.
So, every trickle of positivity helps guide you towards the light as we are all in this together.
We humans are strong and will endure most things but having your support network and family love transcends most pain and fear. If you’re in ‘iso’ now and need somebody to listen, please in box me. I know you might not be able to say much as the cough is so full on and you need to conserve any energy, but I am here even for text message or anything.
For people that dodged it, you are very lucky and for the one’s that lost loved ones I am deeply sorry for your loss. For some it’s like flu for some it’s like tornado that hits you so hard and leaves you fighting just to take your next breath.
I am lucky to have been in natural health industry for years and having all my herbs and potions helped so much. To have some doctors check-up on you if you’re not well is most crucial. You want your blood oxygen levels to be above 95 SpO2. Take care out there and reach out please if need to. If you want me to share what helped me or want to know what I used, please let me know. We are all unique and my things might not work for you but it’s good to have knowledge what’s out there.
Main thing I want to point out here is that to remember not to divide and lose your family and friends just because their choices to vaccinate or not to vaccinate. When did this determine if we are kind people or not?
We all know this virus will affect some of us in some form or way or maybe not. What you do to protect yourself is your choice and to me you are a friend, and I will never judge you no matter what. Nor will I ask you if you are vaxxed or not.
It’s not my business and please if you take on each extreme side we seeing now, just know that this shit will pass and what’s left is people that love you and care for you. Nobody is better or lesser than you. We are all in this together doing our best.
If you think you are immune to anything no matter the choice than you are. Remember, enjoy the life a little and don’t believe everything you see on media or your youtube research channels. Fresh air is best for clarity and a walk in nature can help us to stay grounded.
I been asked if I am pure blood and unvaxed?? lol and if I am vaxed and protected??? lol.
Now nobody is pure blood there is so much bad pollution and crap on this planet you could never be pure and if I was to be fully protected by vaccine and all the boosters coming then I would have nothing to worry about.
See how funny this whole crazy world has become?
So next time we judge one another go into your heart and ask, what can I do to love myself more? The answer will most likely be kind to yourself and respect your fellow friends and family no matter what they choices are. To be gentle and loving! We all different and that’s what makes us beautiful unique and interesting.
One thing is I can’t be boxed or manipulated by media or other people research because I take no sides and my connection to this universe is through love’s connection to the spirit. However, if you ask me for the first time you seen me in ages if I was vaxxed or not? Just to put me in the box you created, and you do it before you even ask how I am, I will delete you from my life … and not just face book.
Sounds harsh but really there is so much to talk about rather than this shitty virus. Yes, it’s real but what is also real is music, dance, poetry, comedy and believing better days will come soon. There is an end to everything and most definitely this covid thing. That’s where I am at this stage. Life is precious and I will only surround it with people who are gentle in their heart and full of love and respect.
Thank you for hearing me and may we all be well and full of joy and happiness in this new year. Eat those greens and dance and be happy my beautiful fellow friends. I am feeling good again but still resting and getting my strength back.
I feel very excited about new projects and music that I will be sharing with you again.
Looking forward to seeing you all very soon.
Keep it real.
Thanks for posting, MT.
Everything is a political brawl nowadays (thanks to leftists trying to control people).
It’s wise to step back and get a fresh perspective on everything.
Thank you MT. A beautiful read.
It just highlights how the government has done its best to rid so many people of their humanity. I don’t care one jot about the likes of tennis stars, but ostensibly calling one who is not in favour of vaccinations a terrorist, goes too far. The Lucky Country indeed.

Agree.
Excellent read MT,
Whilst not having the clarity of this lady in making her point, it is the manner in which I deal with everyone.
If the first question is, “have you had your vax”, rather than how are you and your family the conversation quickly ends and I avoid them as much as possible.
Sadly, for the time being (I truthfully hope) my wife and I have lost the ability to contact two of our four adult children and therefore our grandkidlets as we refuse to acquiesce to their demands regarding the jab(s).
Also, her point relating to being pureblood I can comfortably agree with.
It has been 4 months now since I, like so many, was given the heave ho from a position which gave me such great satisfaction simply because I would not, and will not bend over to the whims of tyranny.
Fortunately we were in a position to pay down our debts and now keep a very tight watch on our spending as, like everyone there are still utility bills, council taxes (sometimes called rates), registration for our vehicles etc, etc which must be met.
One advantage out of the past two years however is that we can each of us see who our true and sincere friends really are, thankfully they can be counted on one and a half hands.
Best wishes lady!
The powers are again dividing us up into little categories, then setting each against the other. Black, white, Asian, Hispanic, LGBT, unvaxxed and on and on. It’s like the nationalism of the early 20thC, or the sectarianism of the 16thC. The result is the same: hatred of the other.
It should not be so, we are all the handiwork of God, and He has mercy upon us and gives us all good things. So we should try to do likewise.
A ratbag politician said “ life wasn’t meant to be easy”.
Now more ratbag politicians are making life almost unbearable.
Fed Court, it’s on … 5:45
damn … polluting my own thread
I think I like this young lady very much.
Thanks for posting, Matrix.
Lovely sentiments, MT. I am trying to keep a clear head and a kind heart as we continue to navigate the deep divisions and nasty elephant traps our political and public health class have imposed upon the very people that are supposed to serve, not rule over.
Professor Gigi Foster spoke about this very thing in her long and very informative interview with Matt Wong at Discernable just before Christmas. There is a huge incentive for individuals NOT to see what they have been a part of.
If we cannot treat those betrayed in this way by kindness and compassion then we will never heal those divisions. We must, as individuals, families and a country, reconcile for the good of our future. It could take years but we must persist.
Recently we were trying to organise a many times postponed visit to relatives who are well into their 90’s. We felt we should tell the visit organiser that we were not yet vaxxed but would be happy to do RAT tests before the lunch. She told us it wasn’t necessary. “We aren’t that kind of family.”
That’s my new family motto, right there.
Useless hippie platitudes.
LoL Rabz … I knew that was coming.
She’s a hippy for sure but she’s a principled hippy and she lives as she speaks … including the “I keel you” part.
she got Balkanised once … never again
Matrix – be thankful I didn’t post my true thoughts about what I’d happily do to the nazi imbeciles I’m related to if given even half a chance.
“I keel you” would be just the start of their eternal torment.
For me, this post was a reminder that, in spite of the statistics that show this is a virus (even the initial Wuhan strain) which does not have a mortality rate that justifies the panic, it can still be merciless with some individuals.
Indeed, I recently discovered that a couple we know contracted COVID at their large Christmas gathering. The wife was relatively unaffected, but the husband became very ill, although not hospitalised. I was shocked to see him as he had lost so much weight & looked so frail. I supposed it was the Delta strain, but even so, was surprised that it struck him so savagely.
Although I am relatively optimistic that the virus is diminishing, it was a reminder that it is NOT “the flu” – but a virus deliberately engineered to cause serious damage to our immune defences.
It is an enemy that requires us to be observant of healthy practises & to keep our ammunition (vitamins, anti-histamines etc) ready.
Thanks for sharing that M.T.
Sad. If you’re sick you’re sick and I can’t imagine leaving anyone I care for to be sick alone.
What does it matter if someone is vaxxed or not? I never think about it.
I take Vit D, C, and occasional Zinc rather as people held posies during the Black Death.
Lots of faith that you’re gonna be ok, and carry on with life regardless. Fingers crossed.
I attached an Oximeter and registered a healthy SpO2 of 98, put a mask on and watched it steadily drop to 92, indicating hypoxemia, an unhealthy, even life-threatening consequence of oxygen deprivation caused by the mask
The World Health Organisation’s web-site emphatically informs the world (their capitals):
FACT: People should NOT wear masks while exercising
People should NOT wear masks when exercising, as masks may reduce the ability to breathe comfortably.
Sweat can make the mask become wet more quickly which makes it difficult to breathe and promotes the growth of microorganisms.
The WHO link illustrates exercise with a woman wearing normal clothing casually riding a commuter, not racing, bicycle while sitting erect. The WHO is not talking about intense exercise, just everyday physical activity.
For elderly, a walk around the block is exercise, recommended by almost every medical “expert”, but they are the very ones most targeted and advised, and often forced, to wear masks. According to the WHO, they SHOULD NOT be wearing masks.
At the other end, people are putting masks on toddlers – compulsory on some US airlines – who need oxygen for brain development.
I met up with some friends recently and we were chatting when another of their friends, who I did not know joined us for 10 minutes. Most of that time he spoke only of Covid topics. By the time he left I knew all of the Covid impacts on his recent interstate holiday ( also code for I am fully jabbed) , his intimate knowledge of the best places to get tested, his Covid infection experience ( despite being fully jabbed) , his families Covid infection experience etc etc. I was amazed at how much information came so quickly and how much he seemed to enjoy sharing. I have no idea what he looked like because he dutifully kept his mask on correctly the whole time.
Main thing I want to point out here is that to remember not to divide and lose your family and friends just because their choices to vaccinate or not to vaccinate.
Most people I know didn’t say shit about vaxxed/unvaxxed until the choice was removed by Government.
There is a choice here, if you think Government had a right to enforce and coerce medication then you can get fucked.
