The Social Cost of Telling the Truth. By Baron Bodissey at Gates of Vienna.
Patricia Leidl is a journalist and author who lives in British Columbia. … She had had previously worked under contract for the World Health Organization.
In her experience, a vaccine against a coronavirus was deemed impractical, because the pathogen mutates too quickly for any vaccine to be effective. For that reason, she was surprised when the development of the mRNA treatment against COVID-19 was announced just a few months into the “pandemic”.
One of those harmed by the covid “vaccine”:
She subsequently needed to get the vax in order to travel abroad for a new job. She was in good health, so, despite her reservations, she decided to get the two-dose mRNA “vaccination”. A week after the second dose she developed severe symptoms, which included fainting, physical collapse, and intense pain, among other issues. The doctors told her she had “Long COVID”, but that made no sense, since she had never had COVID at all.
She developed multiple symptoms related to her reproductive system, and when a doctor started treating her for them, she (the doctor) told her that many of her patients were presenting with the same absolutely strange symptoms.
Ms. Leidl said she also had a migraine that lasted for about a year, and experienced “a real deterioration in my cognitive function”.
Socially contaminated:
In addition to her physical symptoms, she had to deal with the social consequences of being seen as “anti-vax”. She said, “I’d become somehow socially contaminated, because I insisted that what had happened to me was a result of a vaccine reaction which was in fact confirmed… People that I had known for decades suddenly lumped me or defined me as some sort of right-wing wing nut because I have a vaccine injury and I’m vocal about it.”
Leidl described what happened when she insisted her injury was a vaccine reaction, something confirmed by several doctors. Friends chose not to believe her, even when she was unrecognizable and could not walk. Journalism colleagues disassociated from her. She became, in her words, socially contaminated.
She told the inquiry she realized when she testified at the National Citizens Inquiry that she would probably never get hired again for anything. But she felt it was important to tell the truth. There was too much gaslighting going on, she said.
She experienced personal humiliation and considerable degradation while seeking care. She was told her symptoms were a mental health episode, even as she was swelling to 200 pounds and developing boils across her torso. …
Not just any nutter:
She has the institutional record on vaccines. She wrote it. The WHO’s own publications, drafted by a woman they hired for her expertise in vaccine communications, said that coronavirus vaccines could not work because coronaviruses mutate too quickly. It was the official position of the WHO.
And then it was abandoned purely for political reasons. The science remained the same.
The woman who wrote that institutional knowledge was then coerced by circumstance into taking a vaccine her own publication said should not work, and when it destroyed her, the institution that employed her looked the other way.
The left values power for their tribe — which nowadays means big government — over truth. Of course they expel and ostracize a truth seeker like Ms Leidl, even when the evidence is perfectly plain.
