In Order To Prove How Sick I am, I Had to Make Myself Sicker

In order to prove how sick I am, I had to make myself sicker

By Jamison Hill

Aug. 1, 2022

The last few months have been rough. I have been going through a brutal intake interview for In-Home Supportive Services, which provides me with caregiving hours. The intake interview did not go well.

Throughout the interview, I was required to demonstrate, both verbally and physically, how sick I am and the limitations that my illness imposes upon me. The irony of this is that in order to prove how sick I am, I had to make myself sicker.

I had to speak more than I normally speak. I had to move more than I normally do. I had to use emotional and cognitive energy that I normally reserve for other things.

The case worker performing the interview didn’t seem to understand my illness. I tried to explain that my illness is not a steady thing. It’s unlike disabilities that are the same from one day to the next. My illness varies from day to day.

On good days, I might be able to sit up and even take a few steps. On bad days, I’ll be lucky to be able to get out of bed and take my mobility scooter to the bathroom. Standing up is out of the question on bad days. And lately, because of the stress and exertion of this intake process, there have been an exceedingly high number of bad days.

A demeaning and detrimental process

What bothers me most about the process of proving how sick I am, is that it is demeaning to my psyche and detrimental to my health. If someone is sick, they shouldn’t have to prove it. And they definitely shouldn’t have to make themself sicker to prove it.

No one should have to put their illness on display like an exhibit at a science fair. But because many chronic illnesses are invisible — the symptoms are not clearly noticeable — we often have to do just that.

We have to push ourselves to the brink of exhaustion just so someone can catch a glimpse of what we’re going through. And then whoever is observing us carries on with their life while we are confined to bed for days or weeks, recovering from proving the legitimacy of our illness.

It reminds me of a story Michael J. Fox told in one of his memoirs. He was reflecting on a time when he testified before Congress about his Parkinson’s disease. And in doing so, he chose not to take the medications that improved his condition and made it manageable, more or less.

Because of this decision, his illness was on full display for the politicians in the room and the people watching on TV. His hands were shaking. His voice was wavering. It was scary, but that was the reality of his illness.

Because Fox had not taken his medication, some commentators said that he was putting on an act, that he wasn’t being truthful about his illness. In reality, he wasn’t just being truthful, he was risking his health for the sake of being truthful. He was giving people a glimpse at the worst of his illness and making himself sicker in order to do so.

More people believed me when I was sicker

Six years ago, I was completely bedridden — unable to lift my head off a pillow, too weak to eat or speak. Now my health has improved some, and I can get out of bed and speak for short amounts of time. But when it comes to proving how sick I am, I have never struggled more.

When I was at my sickest, it was easier to show others how sick I was. More people believed me because no one in their right mind would go without speaking or eating just so people thought they were sick. No one would stay confined to bed literally all the time just to get sympathy or money or whatever. But now that I can get out of bed, things are more complicated.

At first glance, it’s not always obvious how sick I am. But if you observe me for any significant amount of time, it’s clear to see that I am not a healthy person. You won’t see me eating in restaurants and going to concerts and seeing movies and watching ball games and swimming in oceans and hiking mountains and running on beaches and flying in planes and getting married and having children and doing all of the other things I would do if I were healthy.

All the proof I need

And that, my friends, is all the proof I need. I so badly want to live a healthy life. I want to be active. I want to move. I want to do everything I can as much as I can. And yet, that mentality is at odds with my illness. To minimize my symptoms, I must rest. I must ask for help. I must delay. I must do things later, when I am feeling better.

Even still, here I am, more than a decade into my illness and still having to prove that I’m sick. It’s a soul-crushing, pride-swallowing process that won’t stop as long as my illness exists. I hate it. But perhaps one day it will stop, and I’ll no longer have strangers judging how sick I am.

Bacterial & Fungal Isolation From Face Masks Under the COVID Pandemic

**UPDATE Feb. 2024**

Eleven month old DIED from mask asphyxiation in Taiwan.  

Besides the harmful bacteria on masks which the wearer continually rebreathes – as well as the lack of oxygen, research now states probable aerosol transmission of the virus through floors and walls proving the futility of porous masks. 

A study looked at mandatory masking on the case fatality rate in Kansas and found that counties with mask mandates had significantly higher case fatality rates than countries without mandates.  The authors state the findings suggest mask usage might pose a yet unknown threat to the user instead of protecting them.  They call this the “Foegen effect”, which has been proven in vivo in an animal model and consists of a deep re-inhalation of hypercondensed droplets or pure virions caught in the facemasks as droplets can worsen prognosis and might be linked to long-term effects of COVID infection.

The warnings for masks have been given from the beginning but were completely ignored:

Bacterial and fungal isolation from face masks under the COVID-19 pandemic

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has led people to wear face masks daily in public. Although the effectiveness of face masks against viral transmission has been extensively studied, there have been few reports on potential hygiene issues due to bacteria and fungi attached to the face masks. We aimed to (1) quantify and identify the bacteria and fungi attaching to the masks, and (2) investigate whether the mask-attached microbes could be associated with the types and usage of the masks and individual lifestyles. We surveyed 109 volunteers on their mask usage and lifestyles, and cultured bacteria and fungi from either the face-side or outer-side of their masks. The bacterial colony numbers were greater on the face-side than the outer-side; the fungal colony numbers were fewer on the face-side than the outer-side. A longer mask usage significantly increased the fungal colony numbers but not the bacterial colony numbers. Although most identified microbes were non-pathogenic in humans; Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus aureus, and Cladosporium, we found several pathogenic microbes; Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus saprophyticus, Aspergillus, and Microsporum. We also found no associations of mask-attached microbes with the transportation methods or gargling. We propose that immunocompromised people should avoid repeated use of masks to prevent microbial infection.

**Comment**

If you are a Lyme/MSIDS patient, you are immunocompromised.

This is not the first time pathogens have been found on masks.  Concerned parents put clean or new masks on their kids in the morning, sent them to school for nearly 5-8 hours, and then had them tested in a lab.  Here’s what was found:

  • 83% of masks were contaminated
  • 96 unique strains
  • 21 pathogenic strains
  • 33% antibiotic resistant strains
11 dangerous pathogens were found:
  • treptococcus pneumoniae (pneumonia)
  • Mycobacterium tuberculosis (tuberculosis)
  • Neisseria meningitidis (meningitis, sepsis)
  • Acanthamoeba polyphaga (keratitis and granulomatous amebic encephalitis)
  • Acinetobacter baumanni (pneumonia, blood stream infections, meningitis, UTIs—resistant to antibiotics)
  • Escherichia coli (food poisoning)
  • Borrelia burgdorferi (causes Lyme disease)
  • Corynebacterium diphtheriae (diphtheria)
  • Legionella pneumophila (Legionnaires’ disease)
  • Staphylococcus pyogenes serotype M3 (severe infections—high morbidity rates)
  • Staphylococcus aureus (meningitis, sepsis)

Mask believers don’t seem to care that data shows mask usage has virtually no impact on COVID cases. Similarly to the useless (negative efficacy even) and dangerous COVID gene therapy injections, which don’t stop transmission, infection, severe illness, or even death, zealots don’t care.

The CDC refuses to fix it’s horribly flawed mask study which is being still being used to set public health policy, and the CDC and the FDA are completely guilty of mis or disinformation, yet are still coming after others who disagree with their narrative.  The current administration has been found guilty of colluding with social media companies to suppress freedom of speech under the guise of ‘misinformation,’ and nearly got away with a DHS ‘ministry of truth’ type disinformation board run by ‘Scary Poppins’ until the public gave fierce backlash.  And now the UN is declaring war on “conspiracy theories” and launches a #thinkbeforesharing campaign.  UNESCO has teamed up with Twitter, the European Commission and the World Jewish Congress to launch the campaign.

“In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act”. – George Orwell 1984

Until the public also gives fierce backlash against worthless, oxygen depriving, bacteria infested, carcinogenic, toxic masks, they will continue to be held hostage by tyrants. 

FYI: the EPA has just launched community engagement efforts on warning of new ethylene oxide risk information.

Masks are “sterilized” with Ethylene Oxide — a known carcinogen. Many teachers in various school boards have been experiencing significant symptoms as a direct result of the effects of this chemical.

Doctored Images, Fake Data, & Plagiarism: Scandals Rock Alzheimer’s & Cancer Research. Research Director Falsifying Vaccine Data Retains Post

In another update, Southwest National Primate Research Center (SNPRC) is allowing one if its directors who published fraudulent research on tuberculosis vaccines to retain his post, according to Science.org

“[Deepak Kaushal] engaged in research misconduct by intentionally, knowingly, and/or recklessly falsifying and fabricating the experimental methodology to demonstrate results obtained under different experimental conditions,” according to ORI findings published in the Federal Register on Monday.

The ORI’s investigation found that Kaushal “engaged in research misconduct” involving one published study and two grant applications under at least eight U.S. government grants from the Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and National Institutes of Health (NIH).

Doctored Images in Alzheimer’s Research?

By Sophie Putka

July 27, 2022

Excerpts:

An investigation by Science Magazine tells how Matthew Schrag, MD, PhD, neuroscientist and physician at Vanderbilt, unearthed serious problems with research on a protein subtype of amyloid beta that has been a cornerstone of research and spending on Alzheimer’s for over a decade.

Schrag found that images accompanying highly cited Alzheimer’s studies touting major breakthroughs for the field were very plausibly altered. Using the online platform PubPeer, where scientists flag mistakes in research, Schrag stumbled upon comments on articles led by Sylvain Lesné, PhD, of the University of Minnesota.

One of the papers, published in Nature, has been cited 2,300 times, and related NIH funding for related oligomer and Alzheimer’s research grew to $287 million. Lesné and the lab where he worked won accolades: awards, grants, and prominence. “You can cheat to get a paper. You can cheat to get a degree. You can cheat to get a grant. You can’t cheat to cure a disease,” Schrag told Science Magazine. “Biology doesn’t care.”

SUMMARY:

  • Nature has learned that formal investigations finding multiple instances of research misconduct including data falsification and plagiarism have been made against superstar cancer researcher Carlo Croce, MD and scientists under him.
  • So far nobody is admitting fault, and in fact Croce is suing the university despite the committee saying he was a poor mentor and the lab lacked oversight.  Further, the university instructed Croce and his team to retract or correct more than a dozen papers but only one has been retracted and two corrected.
  • Biotronick, a medical device manufacturer, paid and rewarded docs to use their implantable heart devices and violated the False Claims Act when they submitted reimbursement claims for the related procedures from Medicare and Medicaid, according to the DOJ.  The company paid for training that never occurred, as well as holiday parties, winery tours, lavish meals, international business class airfare and honoraria with no legitimate business purpose.

Hopefully, it is becoming clearer by the day that science has been completely hijacked.  It was recently discovered that $350 Million in secret payments have been given to Fauci, Collins, and other NIH scientists.  Corruption in public health has been exposed beautifully thanks to COVID, but is certainly not new.  Lymeland has been riddled with corruption for over 40 years. There is an urgent need to break the public health monopoly which is literally getting away with murder.

The CARES Act, provides hospitals with bonus incentive payments for all things related to COVID-19 (testing, diagnosing, admitting to hospital, use of remdesivir and ventilators, reporting COVID-19 deaths, and vaccinations) and waivers of customary and long-standing patient rights by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) are the reasons patients are virtual prisoners in the hospital.  They have no choice, no say, and are barbarically isolated from family members. They are only allowed “FDA approved” COVID treatments which are dangerous, ineffective, and expensive.

Time for a CDC/NIAID FDA/ walkaway movement.

CDC Can’t Hide This Anymore – Leaked Emails

The CDC is refusing to hand over data about vaccine trials and possible adverse affects, despite a request for this information. Also, new emails show that the CDC worked in lockstep with social media companies to help shut down any conversation around vaccines that they did not like.  It’s clear Big Tech has colluded with the federal government to censor, silence, and suppress free speech.

Internal communications obtained and shared by America First Legal (AFL) show that the CDC had consistent contact with officials from corporate social media companies to address the spread of “misinformation.” AFL received the documents after filing a Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA) request with the CDC and a lawsuit to expedite the process.

The documents show personal communications between Carol Crawford, the Digital Media Branch Chief for the CDC, and representatives of Google, Facebook, and Twitter.

The emails show that Facebook gave the CDC and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) over $15 million in free advertising on the platform, described as a “non-monetary gift.”  Source

“CDC and social media worked hand-in-glove propagandizing the false narrative:

  1. Masks work
  2. They are “safe and effective”  (The COVID injections)
  3. They reduce the risk of hospitalization and death (the injections)
  4. They “protect others” i.e. reduce spread (the injections)

July 18 (Reuters) – Dr. Anthony Fauci, the chief medical adviser to the White House, confirmed he will retire by the end of President Joe Biden’s first term, but it could come much earlier than that, the infectious disease expert told Reuters in an interview on Monday.

The Bear Metaphor & Your DNA

Facing the Beast

Can We Really Confront the Biggest Crime in Human History?

Dr Naomi Wolf
Excerpts:

I was relaxing in our screened porch in our little cottage in the forest, feeling rather pleased with myself. It had been an arduous week of the usual combat for liberty, but there had been victories.

Then I heard a “thump” about eight feet away behind my head.

I glanced behind me and saw the enormous ears and forehead of a sizable brown bear, who was ducking insolently, clearly aware of me, to lower himself behind the trash cans.

My heart pounded as I realized that he was not leaving; he continued pacing and circling, no matter where I went.

He was here because — I had done nothing to stop him. He was here because I let him slowly take over our home.

This all, of course, really happened. But that does not mean it is not also a metaphor.

The same week that this happened, I also finalized my reporting about the Pfizer vaccines, showing — what I knew for months I would eventually find.

The heart of the manufacture and distribution of millions of doses of the MRNA vaccines that are causing such a swath of death and destruction throughout North America and Western Europe, is enmeshed with the plans, methods and manufacturing infrastructure of our existential adversary.

The enemy is within our very bodies.

SUMMARY:

  • Wolf believes this isn’t just about a greedy pharmaceutical company and a corrupt regulatory agency but a massive act of war.
    • Doubling of neonatal deaths, 34% above normal stillbirths and spontaneous abortions for “vaxxed” moms
    • 40% increase in death rates, shocking rise in disability
  • 2021 Hong Kong study (answerable to the CCP) showed when mice got the second dose of the booster, it resulted in visibly enlarged hearts with white patches, cytokine storms and liver damage seen by the naked eye.  The study concluded: “Post-vaccination myopericarditis is reported after immunization with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines.” 

  • Pfizer/BioNTech is a German-Chinese company and has an MOU with Fosun Pharmaceuticals, a major CCP-linked pharmaceutical company based in Shanghai, to make the Pfizer/BioNTech MRNA “vaccines”.  A SEC filing shows that the MOU with Fosun includes an equity investment by Fosun in BioNTech. In other words, the CCP is an equity investor in BioNTech.  Fosun is not separate from the CCP; it is the CCP.
  • Fosun Pharma did not stay in China.  It came here. Fosun Pharmaceuticals is now also Fosun Pharmaceuticals USA, with branches for R and D and product formulation in Boston, MA and Princeton, NJ.
    • Fosun produces products in the US for distribution here and around the world and has has built a “global operation strategy” for the manufacture of COVID-19 vaccines, COVID-19 PCR tests and COVID-19 antigen tests. (These tests were the primary metric that determined the ‘pandemic’ and thus the lock downs. So a CCP-run company, and a CCP product decides who can go to work, school, and travel.)
    • A lawsuit has been filed in NY surrounding COVID testing because commercial labs get DNA, which then goes to Fulgent Genetics, which states they’re going to destroy all the samples and that they aren’t selling them to 3rd parties.
      • But a House Intel Committee Member warns that DNA test kits could lead to targeted bioweapons.
      • The LA County Sheriff’s Department announced they will not work with a China-linked genetics firm hired by the county to conduct COVID testing and registration because the FBI shared “very concerning information” about Fulgent Genetics Corporation – which was awarded a no-bid contract for the work.  LASD states DNA data from COVID testing is not guaranteed to be safe and secure from foreign governments and “will likely be shared with the Republic of China.”
        • China just happens to be quietly building the worlds largest DNA database.  All those COVID tests results will come in handy.
        • The FBI is shocked to find that China’s offer to build $100 Million ‘garden’ in DC just might be for espionage purposes.
        • There is growing concern over Chinese interests purchasing large swaths of land, particularly farmland, in the U.S. – including one sensitive parcel in North Dakota in the proximity of a military installation.
        • While Americans are paying $5 per gallon of gas, DOE docs show the Biden admin has sold nearly 6 million barrels of oil from the U.S. strategic reserve to an entity tied the CCP (Sinopec, parent org of Unipec through BHR Partners), which in turn has ties to Hunter Biden. The Biden admin. has also shipped more natural gas to Europe than promised.
    • Fosun obtained the Medicines Patent Pool (MPP)’s license to produce and supply the generic versions of:
      • Merck’s oral COVID-19 treatment Molnupiravir 
      • Pfizer’s oral COVID-19 treatment Nirmatrelvir
      • Pfizer’s Nirmatrelvir and Ritonavir
    • Fosun, a CCP-owned hybrid entity is making millions off of Pfizer injections, Monupiravir, and Paxlovid, so when Biden does a deal with Pfizer with our tax dollars, and gets billions in omnibus bills for PPE, including millions for PCR and antigen tests, he is writing checks to China.
    • A 2018 whistleblower broke a scandal revealing that Fosun Pharmaceuticals had “massively” faked its data and bribed regulators. The FDA wrote them a stern letter.

Important quote:

So take all of the above, and map it against the 150,000 plus adverse events in the Pfizer documents, the deadly harms to reproduction, the Western baby die-off, the babies in seizures; map it against the population drop, the rise in disabilities, map it against the rigid, cruel vaccine mandates aimed at Western defense forces (Canada’s, and Australia’s and all of Western Europe’s, as well as at the most powerful military in the world, that of the United States) — map it against the vaccine mandates aimed at our police, our health care workers, our firefighters, our pilots, our first responders, our kids, our babies — all this done by a White House captive, via Hunter Biden’s laptop, to the CCP.

This all means, of course, that we are staring into the abyss right now.

Traumatized or not, we all need to snap out of denial.

We let our adversary come too close to us. Into our very bloodstreams.

We need to save each other.

We need to turn and face the ravening beast.
