I'm sorry to hear about the headaches and tinnitus. Hopefully they will pass. Unfortunately those symptoms are so general they could be just as easily attributed to other proximate causes, the rollout of 5G infrastructure including near-orbit satellites, for example. I've lived with chronic tinnitus for almost 20 years. Surprisingly, one adapts. My question would be, how do your symptoms work their way into the established scientific data on vaccination safety? Since this is an ongoing biomedical experiment (on a planetary scale), follow-up data should be pursued as a matter of urgency. Unless, of course, this is all just a box-ticking exercise for corporate benefit, in which case ... we all lose, vaccinated or not.

oh well

History tells us that biological components of a vaccine will escape into the wild and mutate. Polio, a case in point. Chalk it up to the law of unintended consequences. The biosphere is telling us something of the toxicity of human economic and ideological systems; planetary bio-feedback we ignore at our peril. Pro-vax wishful thinking to the rescue? Maybe, but not without significant casualties in the process. Political freedoms, for one. On the plus side, technological fixes are good for economic growth, at least in the short term -- I dread to think of the intergenerational debt being foisted on us in the name of public health. Pfizer et al., meanwhile, are laughing all the way to the bank, devoid of any responsibility for adverse outcomes. If that's the "new normal" then count me out.

Have you tried diatomaceous earth?

Building hospitals would have been a better investment ... than Astra-Zeneca. But I see no mad rush to bolster the health system -- only the failing economic one.

Placebo effect?

The only time my tinnitus has ever disappeared, more or less completely, was for a few hours after local anaesthesia from a dental procedure. Anyone can report on tinnitus effects or therapeutic benefits of dissociative anaesthetics?

Great to hear, confirmation of existing studies that show passiflora spp. useful in treating various addictions, including nicotine. A friend had some (rogue passionfruit rootstock) that was accidentally cut & withered on the vine, in full sun. That batch tasted a lot like tobacco, to me.

I guess City Lights was there at the inception of the (self-styled) psychedelic revolution -- Leary, Ginsberg, Burroughs, et al. Michael Pollan about as far removed as one can imagine from that earlier milieu--perhaps strategically so, given the legal and political backlash against 60s counterculture which quelled psychedelic research for half a century. It's great to see City Lights still a hub of psychedelic culture; Ferlinghetti would no doubt have approved. Though I do wonder about cultural elites who serve as gatekeepers, the likes of Pollan (at least, that's my impression of him, having heard him lecture on psychedelics once before). I will try & give these videos a run, thanks trucha for linking. Shine on, City Lights!
