My post was flagged to oblivion and it was very difficult for me to decide to put the photos of myself and what has happened because of a mandatory flu vaccine. My life has been a challenge since then and I don't want anyone else to go through what I have to. It is sad that there are those out there with total lack of empathy for others. https://steemit.com/vaccines/@marymg2014/putting-a-face-to-the-dangers-of-vaccines

Thank-you Mary for making yourself vulnerable,
and not only talking about, but showing pictures of how you have been injured.
It is pretty bad when someone makes a post invisible because the person is talking about a injury that they have endured, and are still enduring.
This world needs more empathy.
You have been disabled by flu shots, and you have the right to share your story with others.
Just remember that there are MANY, many, many people here who care about you,
and care about humanity.
Thank you for your kind comment and genuine concern.
The fact is that because of the flu vaccine my ongoing reactions are life threatening and have landed me in the hospital. I do not understand how swelling in the throat causing difficulty to breathe and anaphylactic blood pressures of 250/180 are antivax bullshit. Who thinks that way?
So sorry to hear this. Still being new to Steemit, I find it hard to believe. It make no sense to me that this is happening on this platform. I thought this platform was all about rewarding others.
🙁hi @canadian-coconut and @marymg2014
I appreciate your kind thoughts. Hopefully we can figure this out as a community and move onwards and upwards. There are so many GREAT people here.
p.s. I have enjoyed watching your videos with Stan.Thank-you @bluerocktalk
I wont ruin the surprise, I'll let you see it for yourself! 😁
~ bluerocktalk🖖THANKS @canadian-coconut! There are tons fo great folks on here, love it! Well you might like this, I added another @stan interview, but also added a promo with @stan... You must take a look at both. I think you'll get excited about both of them, or at least one of them-lol.
Indeed you are right. people care and flagging doesn't matter!!
From this point on if we all use as much voting power as we have to support anyone facing censorship, (even though we don't have as much in our wallets), we have the numbers and we can come back from this.
There's a dolt down below who voices his 'superior' opinion. lol. You'd appreciate the quote I replied to the person who commented to them-
“Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.” -Mark Twain
I keep sneaking on, but I have family to attend to, I'll reply to your other comments when I get home :)
Take care - they have been going hard out and have a $2.50 wallet now so you are picking a fight with a whale!
Well said @sift666!
Together we stand divided we fall.
I love that! Isn't that what Steemit is all about? Or supposed to be?
You're right, and you're wrong. Theoretically, there is the stake available to counter this censorship.
Practically speaking, even with the furor over @michelle.gent's flagging added to this, given the fractured nature of the community, many of whom are more focused on their personal rewards than on contributing to the community, I do not expect such a rally.
I am in, whether there's a rally around it or not - but I'm not here for rewards, rather for the community of censorship free society.
I'm prolly about to get flagged to oblivion myself, now, as I have spoken forthrightly, and strongly, directly to the flaggots who've undertaken these outrages.
So be it. I've never spent a satoshi of Steem, and had no intentions of doing so anyway.
I'll be sad about my rep, though =/
"rather for the community of censorship free society."
Sadly, if the creators had wanted a censorship-free society on Steemit, they should not have allowed for the ability to censor to be built into the platform.
In the white paper flagging is clearly described as necessary to allow a decentralized community to control spam, plagiarism, and such toxic simulacra of free speech.
They further describe how the community can resist the kinds of censorship considered here, and flag wars were born.
However, their calculations considered that 30% of rewards, and thus stake, and thus VP, would inure to the general community, and probably less than 1% of rewards actually do today.
(the author rewards chart dates from just prior to HF19, but is probably applicable today)
Thanks to @arcange for these charts!
Rather than a small or moderately sized group of folks being able to succeed in preventing abusive flagging, even should 10,000 krill rise up to try under current conditions, they would be unable.
The oligarchical concentration of rewards has rendered flags nuclear weapons in the hands of whales, and less than pea-shooters in the hands of krill.
This wasn't the stated intention of the devs.
I was under the impression it started off as a war against bots votes. ( of which I wholeheartedly support, btw)
It seems to have turned into something much darker...
Never mind, I'll wont be staying quiet for anyone. Never have, never will!
I would practically die laughing were the bots like @yougotflagged waging war on bots.
The irony!
This is terrible. Something is very wrong in our community if you are not allowed to share your own life story and your beliefs.
Mary is pro-bullshit.
Pro Tip: Dont get your medical advice from Steemit, or the internet. Especially not from wacky fruitcake Mary.
Ugh, the real work of medicine is spent undoing the disinformation people like you spread.
Blaming your food allergies on vaccines....really.
NO DOCTOR anywhere is able to associate the two, yet you've done what science cant do. You deserve a Nobel. Or a greeting card.
OK, a sticky note congratulating you on your achievement.
Intelligence Tip: Never take advice from someone whose only backing is name-calling, sarcasm, appeals to authority, and not one iota of evidence, anywhere. I don't detect any grasp of real science in you - and I have no position on this issue because I do not have the relevant data yet. I will certainly be checking out the sources you ridicule with your flailing emotions, because obviously there is something deeply threatening to you there.
You deserve nothing but derision for an offering like this, even if your argument is valid - my suspicion is, likely not. Truth will out, as will stupidity. Good luck, you've got quite a learning curve ahead. Db
It is interesting that every single person who voices their disagreement with anti-vax always resorts to name calling and can't seem to have a polite discussion about it.
“Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.”-Mark Twain
never underestimate the far reach of big paharma and trying to keep it's death grip on it's ailing customers..
They love ill people. Not much of a market with a healthy population...
Quite agree lucylin, and I am detecting the strong odour of shill here as well. This may be a paid hitjob, or simply a sleepy drone, either way the consequences are usually dumbass, and they didn't let us down here as usual. Db
@scoobysnax And I guess you are helping 'undoing' the disinformation? Are you a doctor/ scientist and have you done your own independent research? Do you even know what the ingredients are in vaccines? Did you read the inserts of all the vaccines? Because if you did, you would find that food allergies are among the side effects. Fact is that even in the medical world they don't know EVERYthing yet about vaccines and their possible side effects. That is why they have to keep doing those studies. How often did medicine get the stamp 'Approved' only to be removed later? Look at Vioxx...It was deemed very safe. Well, until people started getting heart attacks and died that is. Why would you think this could not be possible with vaccinations? If you love science, you will have to agree that nothing is set in stone just because the CDC says so. Read this study by Yale medical/ Penn State medical. This was only done this year, they didn't know this before. I just don't understand how people would think that something else couldn't come up in a study elsewhere. https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyt.2017.00003/full
Thank you for sharing that study although the researchers involved in the study still recommend following the CDC guidelines for vaccination this study opens the door for further research. Good find!
I know my eyes were opened about the potential dangers of vaccines during my 20+ years in practice.
Mine when my daughter was vaccinated... But yeah, to most all these similar stories are just coincidences. If my child had a bruise every week, they wouldn't call it a coincidence any more and have at least cps come in to investigate. But if something similar happens to many people after vaccinations no one even bats an eyelid.
I believe that the "powers that shouldn't be" know the damage being done.... I can't decide if it is pride or something else that allows this assault to continue. It concerns me because there are 300 more vaccine being developed and there is no accountability or liability for the pharmaceutical industry and I do not know of any other industry that that that widespread protection and makes the money they do.
http://www.phrma.org/press-release/medicines-in-development-vaccines
Money - just money I'd say, with eugenics an extra bonus
Follow the money for sure!
I think that is the one thing that should raise eyebrows at least: the fact that they can not be held accountable. And it is not pride, it's money. After all: they're huge co-operations, they're in the business to make money, not to help people. The rabbit hole goes very deep with this one. And there are a lot of connections with other subjects. In fact, I've been researching this for longer than I can remember.
Keep up the good work.
I suppose they are all wrong too: American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (ACAAI)https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/814826
I am glad I do not stoop to name calling. Blessings to you and yours.
It's amazing when plankton throws it's weight around! :)
You sure as heck stoop to spreading disinformation and fear, though.
NO ONE in the medical community supports your anti-vaxxer position. It is nonsense, it is anti-fact. Choosing to protect the population from debilitating diseases isnt a "difference of opinion".
Your post = profiting from harmful disinformation.
You are either really stupid making that statement saying no one in the medical community... - are you retarded or something? (too many vaccines maybe?lol ),
You have not done any research regarding the subject if you think that is a valid statement.
Or you are a paid shill from big pharma.
(which makes you lower than whale shit at ebb tide)
You are making shit up.
There are medical professionals that do disagree that vaccines are safe. Science isn't a monolith. It is composed of people who have differing views, and it is HEAVILY politicized, and polluted with money, particularly medicine.
Your comment = ignorant attempt to censor those you disagree with.
You haven't displayed ANY knowledge of the issues, but have merely regurgitated what you've been told.
You're good chattel. I'm almost jelly of your masters.
When one must resort to ad-hominem attacks, one shows one's lack of reasoning, facts, or validity. How many times has "science" been proven wrong? How many times have they had to start over? Even the CDC now acknowledges there can be negative reactions to some of the components in vaccines.

Vaccines can cause autoimmune disorders. Guillain Barre is just one. Feel free to browse the US federal government's Vaccine Injury Compensation Data...

sometimes you just gotta say fuck it. i did when i argued the flat earth stuff. the information i have shows that it is true. i'm prepared to be disproven but at this point it seems doubtful. i got downvoted into oblivion in the same manner, for simply not having the same opinion, and these people were posting all this anti-flat earth stuff, so i went in to debate them. that is how you come to truth.
instead of debate, i got slammed, nothing i said was good enough (but they upvoted stupid agreement posts with zero content). i kept going. i kept getting downvoted, i reached a reputation of 15. then someone saw what i was doing and came in and upvoted me and downvoted them. to be honest i was rather upset, but i kept hope that things would change, and they did.
you gotta be prepared for a fight, but keep it clean, never name call, never put them down with fallacies, and always stick to what you know.
personal experience are very valuable to me, tho i'm already convinced vaccines are bad. we are nothing but energy, all is thought, we can fix ourselves by changing our minds about the world.
i hope you realize this, even tho it seems things are irreversable, i'm convinced they are not. just last night i was unable to breathe... i blamed my vaping, but i believe the mental stuff. so i silenced my mind, i just felt where it was tight, i continued to keep my mind on it without judgement. it was hard work keeping my attention on it. but in the end my breathing cleared up, my throat relaxed.
i believe we are all connected to source, we are all powerful creators, and we must remember this so that we can regain what power we truly have to heal ourselves.
least you think i'm completely crazy (which i understand, given materialistic perspective that i once had) .. if you are at all religious, you can look to Jesus who said 'all that i do you can do, and more'
I, oddly enough, appreciate your comment here. I am a rabid 'round Earther'. I have endeavored to undertake discussions with FE'ers, and been astounded at the refusal to engage in substantive debate they evidenced, to the point of writing them all off as disinfo agents.
If you AREN'T simply intent on misleading folks down a barren rabbit hole, I have a post in my back catalog that contains the essence of my rational arguments against a flat Earth. The only reason I engage with you is that I hear you saying you want to know the truth, and I think you'll be different from disinfo agents.
Lemme know if you care to discuss it.
Thanks!
I am also a 'rabid round earther', but respect anyone willing to discuss things properly..
(I have neither the scientific acumen or motivation to really research the subject, tbh).
One point@klevn, mate.
Fractals. aside from the actual FEarth premise, where is there in nature that isn't a fractal?
(fractal - same pattern reproducing itself)
For me, that in itself is enough to validate a global earth. - from atoms to the universe. (and the earth included)
It's a fractalization of round things, going around other round things, in their own orbits, within orbits, etc - you get the picture.
Flat earth just doesn't fit into this natural order of things. Just my take on it, for what it's worth ( which probably isn't much...lol)
Cheers
I'd love to discuss it. could you link me what you'd like me to consider? with the holidays it might be a minute, but i'd be happy to engage it. i'm actually really frustrated with what i consider disinformation about what the flat earthers believe. i can sum up my understanding here, and link my stuff later.
those are my main 'proofs' .. i absolutely believe a huge conspiracy, worth trillions across the globe, is being committed against the people of earth.
yes i believe satellites are in fact weather balloons or drones... i don't have answers to how, but without confirmation there are many possibilities that seem likely.
north and south pole have always been 'computer generated' on weather maps. when i was a kid, they were simply black discs up there covering the poles.. i researched why and found that hiding the poles is actually build into the software that is taking the pictures... now days they 'fake it' so the black discs don't look so obviously that they are hiding something.
take care, and hope you have a wonderful holiday .. (if you live in u.s.a. otherwise have a great day ;)
((((((Hugs)))))) Mary.
