The antivaxers are still playing the same “cases” game as the provaxers, focusing on multiple symptoms reported by people who got lots of shots.
They’re missing the simplest causation.
People who like to get shots are also people who like to get tested.
They’re MEDICALIZED. They have decided to let MDs make all their decisions for them.
I’m highly conscious of this tendency because I’m naturally hypochondriac, from a long line of known hypos. I have to fight this tendency constantly, even after many experimental proofs that the body works best when you let it work.
There ARE times when pills and shots and therapy are the best solution, but those times are relatively rare. Pills and shots and therapy shouldn’t be the first resort.
I’ve always understood the use it or lose it principle in an intellectual way. I didn’t understand it in a direct experimental way until 2018.
I was having lots of trouble with vestibular crap, frequent dizzy spells. Being naturally anxious and hypochondriacal, I sought advice and solace in a Facebook group. After a while I realized that these people were medicalized. They were spending their entire life in various clinics and therapy offices, constantly getting “treatments” that never really helped. I didn’t want to end up that way.
I decided to try an experiment. Waiting for the bus was an especially difficult time. Walking was easy, but standing in one place without support wasn’t easy on the bad days. I had been standing next to the bus bench and holding on tight.
I tried NOT holding. Every time the impulse to put out a hand occurred, I resisted. Quickly the unsteadiness receded. The internal senses, which had been conditioned to laze around, started working again, and they worked properly.
Use it or lose it. Don’t let the senses and muscles get lazy, even if lazy seems better. It’s not better.
