Moving the goalposts

It occurred to me that the medical profession has always systematically moved the goalposts to suit themselves and always to justify more treatments.

Let’s look at a few things we can all see for ourselves without the need for any deep research.

Firstly, in the early days of germ theory when there were only things you could find and eventually actually see with a microscope like bacteria, they moved the goalposts for the very first time and suddenly invented viruses to explain away illnesses that happened when bacteria were not present.

Very conveniently you can’t see or even find viruses, you just have to believe they are there which is an incredibly powerful ruse that has been heavily perpetuated ever since it was conceived.

These magical entities even defy biology by not being ‘alive’ in any true sense but they can somehow hijack the biological machinery of life to replicate themselves inside your cells.

They then somehow manage to go back to not being alive back outside of your cells to jump into another person and start the process of making a new person ill. Incredible!

And sometimes viruses can also be there in the person but not cause any problems at all until they suddenly do. This is another ruse to explain the unexplainable which is called being ‘asymptomatic’.

People’s bodies have to sort of cook viruses a bit to get them going which is called ‘incubation’. This can be any length of time you care to consider.

Another ruse is viruses can mysteriously lie dormant, not being cooked at all, until they suddenly decide they want to be cooked and then cause you to be ill. This marvellous goalpost-shifting explanation describes how you can suddenly get ill years after some long forgotten exposure to whatever it was that is supposed to be the cause.

And when the pharmaceutical medicines (aka toxic substances) don’t seem to work, the medical professionals move the goalposts again and say it was because the ‘germ’ got clever enough to resist the presumed efficacy of the stuff you’re being given. This ruse relies on another bit of creative thinking that says the germ didn’t just get clever, it managed to somehow change into a new variant — so kind of like being a completely different germ. So your dumb body or the dumb pharmaceutical concoction got fooled because the virus is now wearing a disguise. Wow!

And when the medical profession confidently says you have a disease or illness by matching you to a set of symptoms they read from a book, if by chance the particular germ that is the believed culprit cannot be found inside you they will invent a new illness instead.

This ruse of impressive goalpost moving shows how vaccines have always been seen to work. So for instance you get vaccinated for illness-A (let’s say COVID) and when you still get ill afterwards they say well the vaccine worked against COVID but now sadly you have flu (ie illness-B)

So they just rebadge an illness as a different illness ...one which just happens to have identical symptoms.

There are actually a vast numbers of illnesses they can only confirm for sure by doing a test. This is very often a PCR test and we all know how reliable those are.

It also begs the question however did they used to know what you had before these tests came along?

The medical profession ALWAYS has to have an answer because if they don’t, you could lose confidence in them and their pharmaceutical products.

They rely on your continued unquestioning confidence so they are constantly having to create new answers to fill any informational void of puzzlement. Or else they invent a whole new category of nonsense which is sort of like a big pot to throw troublesome things into.

One big pot is ‘genetics’. This ruse makes your own body responsible in some way because your DNA (which itself is another extremely questionable concept) got all confused.

As we all know, DNA is terribly complicated stuff so it’s completely reasonable that it would go wrong from time to time.

And you get handed your DNA — half from each parent (supposedly) — so there is another potential option for blame when you get ill, two in fact, your mom and your dad.

DNA is quite a remarkable because it exists primarily in the memory banks of computers and otherwise conceptually and it seems actually capable of moving its own posts. This is because it occasionally misbehaves and decides to make an error in reproducing itself called a ‘mutation’. Mutations are pretty much conceptual so again are easy to be newly positioned goalposts.

Personally, I have only scratched the surface of what DNA is supposed to be all about and this when I used to think I pretty much knew.

Note: This I found this interesting although I cannot vouch for its accuracy: https://criticalcheck.wordpress.com/2021/12/15/dna-discovery-extraction-and-structure-a-critical-review/

Being complicated and mysterious makes DNA an ideal candidate for dozens of illnesses that can’t otherwise be properly explained. Look into what DNA is supposed to govern from the length of your nose to the size of your feet, who your parents were, your ethnic roots and a whole raft of other stuff like this according to the internet:

Specifically, DNA performs the following key roles:

• Protein Synthesis: It provides the specific sequences that guide the creation of proteins, which carry out most cellular functions including digestion, movement, and structural support.

• Genetic Inheritance: It passes hereditary information from parents to offspring, ensuring the transmission of traits across generations.

• Cellular Regulation: It controls which genes are expressed in specific cells, allowing different cell types (like skin or muscle cells) to function uniquely despite containing the same genetic code.

• Medical and Biological Utility: It serves as a tool for diagnosing inherited diseases, guiding personalized treatments, and developing gene therapies by identifying specific genetic variations.

Basically if something goes wrong with you and a germ can’t be blamed, the medical profession can blame DNA because nobody will be able to be prove them wrong …and besides just look at all the stuff it does.

I could go on but as a final part of the infinitely variable and unproven goalposts of health and wellness we can talk about the immune system.

Everyone sort of knows about this and what is does. You obviously have one otherwise you’d be dead. Surely?

But a bit like DNA, the immune system is impressively complex and not properly understood giving great scope for scapegoating it into causing things or else not preventing things as it should.

One such ‘thing’ is when it goes drastically awry and starts attacking you instead of fighting off germs. Doctors call this ‘autoimmune’ and again many identical instances of autoimmune illness can be branded a dozen different ways to suit what they think they need to do, what medicine to give you and to stay looking impressively like they know what they are doing or talking about.

The fact that nobody knows for sure if we have an immune system (as described) yet alone how it works in practice, gives not only the ability to move the goalpost but continually redefine the whole nature of the game.

Keep abreast of a refreshingly more sensible view of medicine and those who advocate it that doesn’t involve goalposts being moved at Reality of Illness.
