The diagnosis came late in life.
My mother said I was particularly good with needles as a baby. No fuss. A particularly helpful trait throughout my childhood considering my propensity to slice myself open. Some kids tend to break bones. That wasn’t me. The only bone I damaged was the one in my little finger that I neatly split down the middle with a machete. Another bolster to the stitches tally I kept.
Even in my early twenties, when I decided to travel The Phillipines and Thailand, I failed to recognise the warning signs. I willingly sort advice and received all the prescribed travel vaccinations. No fuss.
Maybe my career completely distracted me from the issue.
I definitely had a one track mind. To fly. Maths and physics in school, full-time flying lessons as soon as I left. Hours to get the licence, hours to get the experience. Hours at night, in cloud, on twins, turbo-props and jets. Hours on the ground learning, reflecting and story telling all about those hours in the air. My logbooks document almost twenty thousand of them.
This entire time, I was completely oblivious to my underlying condition.
Perhaps I would still be completely unaware had I worked somewhere else, doing something else. Yet the inevitable collision between my highly successful airline career and the stark realisation I was a closet anti-vaxxer is forever signposted by the arrival of ‘The Policy’.
Not that the policy itself made the distinction, but the questioning of it. That was enough to earn the label. So I joined a minority of society not welcome in the mainstream. Being unburdened from the time consuming commitment of having an occupation, I was able to research this fringe of mankind I was now part.
Who are these anti-vaxxers?
Most of us johnny-come-lately haven’t truly earned the badge. Some skepticism toward mRNA technology used in some seemingly ineffective doses with a dubious safety record. And discovered through a couple of years of all-of-a-sudden-I’m-interested reading. The true believers have been directly injured or scarred through the loss of someone they love. The mums who are still taking care of their maimed children forty years later. The professionals who have devoted their lives to getting to the source of the misery. Grifters, they call them.
Up until lately, they have been largely ignored. A new movement has changed all that - the astonishing rise of the pro-vaxxer. The label is not required of course, suffice to say it is implied by the absence of the alternative. This all consuming trend has swept the globe and claimed all but those who remain steadfastly opposed. Shunning has been replaced by shaming.
Society divided, in a new way.
We have learnt our place and it’s not in the cockpit, or hospital, or front line public service. If it’s back to school then it’s at reduced wages. Our choice, though free and informed, has been inappropriate and must be punished. Society simply cannot function if everyone took such selfish indulgences.
I am a misfit.
Half a century has passed before I finally realised. Does it help knowing? Yes and no. I guess I’m now dealing with a reality I was blissfully unaware of. Direction is important though. Heading the wrong way, just because it’s easier will eventually lead you to a whole new level of hardship. Precisely why I stopped and thought about it in the first place. You can tell I’m hopelessly bound to an ideal I can’t shake.
Is there a cure?
Can I be rehabilitated back into mainstream society? Right now I feel like Winston in ‘1984’ desperately trying to see 5 fingers while the leader is only holding up 4. “2 + 2 = 5”, they say. I still can’t make sense of it.
Maybe they’ll develop a vaccine for it.
They have for everything else.
3 minutes from preparation to job done!!
Everything else you have read, or heard, is totally irrelevant - how simple is that?
Covid Crusher: Mix one heaped teaspoon of Iodine table salt in a mug of warm clean water, cup a hand and sniff or snort the entire mugful up your nose, spitting out anything which comes down into your mouth. If sore, then you have a virus, so continue morning noon and night, or more often if you want, until the soreness goes away (2-3 minutes) then blow out your nose and flush away, washing your hands afterwards, until when you do my simple cure, you don't have any soreness at all, when you flush - job done. Also swallow a couple of mouthfuls of salt water and if you have burning in your lungs, salt killing virus and pneumonia, there too.
My simple salt water cure, kills all Coronaviruses and viruses, as soon as you think you have an infection, or while self isolating, before the viruses mutate into the disease in your head and body, for which there is no cure - that is, after you have been out shopping, or mixing with people with potentially, Omicron or Delta viruses, or any other virus.
It washes behind the eyes, the brain bulb, brain stem (Long Covid), The Escutcheon Tubes to the inner ears and the top of the throat which is at a point roughly level with half way up your ears and not where your mouth is and down the back of your throat, when sore.
I have been doing this simple cure for over 29 years and I am and others, never sick from viruses and there is no reason why any of you should be either.
Simply put, if the inside of your nose is dry and crusty, you are OK, if your nose is runny, you really need to do a salt water sniffle as quickly as possible and monitor the results, to see if further salt water sniffles are necessary, but later on in that evening - so far - I remain immune from potential Covid infections, doing just this.
Nobody has been injured or killed by my above salt water cure
This is Richard Noakes's cure, not mine, after posting the previous post, which did not reappear, I thought I had better follow it up with this one - anything on the previous post, which needs further clarification, I can probably help with
Hello from the UK.
Many thanks for your post. You are not a misfit, you merely have commonsense. I was never into vaccines and the last I had was probably the tetanus around 1990.
In 2020 when the world went mad over the 'flu re-branded to make more money for big pharma etc. I realised after 2 months solid research that no vaccines were of any use. They had been merely made to look good by clever advertising and hiding the side effects and deaths.
Ultimately of course vaccines, whether the COVID 19 ones or any others, contain poisons.
And poisons have never been good for one's health. If you are interested I have done this. There is a COVID 19 Summary link within it which has various links to the issues.

As you are in Australia it is possible this may be of use. It contains my Australia posts on the awful politicians and health advisors. I use humour to help make the points and lighten the mood and am not PC.
