Doppelgängers Scream in DisHarmony

A World of Pain, Fool

The more I look for Doppelgangers of Naomi Klein the more I find. Jennifer Kahn, a professor of Journalism at UCBerkeley, science writer and contributing editor for The New York Times magazine, (A World of Hurt, 1-19-25) is far more like Klein than Naomi Wolf, her chosen one.

Kahn “did nothing unusual the day before” she woke up “two summers ago” with “sharp, electric shocks in my fingers, inside of my biceps and across my chest. Holding anything was excruciating. The slightest pressure was intolerable.”

She lost a pound a week (without Ozempic), was unable to drive, cook, hold a book or pen, only “painfully scroll through her phone.” The doctors she saw were “stumped. An otherwise healthy, reasonably well-off white woman with a clean medical history and no significant record of anxiety or depression”, did not dispose them to dismiss her pain as “all in her head, not really that bad, feigning symptoms to get drugs…all the ways people who suffer are still gaslit and dismissed.”

Like vaccine injuries. Lucky she didn’t get tinnitus like Dr. Gregory Poland.

Every test was ordered but came up negative. She was in the “mystery bucket.” Not one of the many specialists she begged for relief or explanation offered the most likely cause for the agonizing pain in her arms. Most likely, one of hundreds of thousands of unacknowledged injuries from the covaxxes. The dead tell no tales.

She tried alternatives- a physical therapist, chiropracter, acupuncturists, Feldenkrais, even nerve flossing, “which helped a bit”, but even they didn’t mention the V word to her. Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. Her local pain clinic finally granted her an appointment six months later, where the specialist told her “this just happens sometimes.” No one knew why, but it “might go away. "

She assumed it was “just bad luck”, that she submitted to a series of injections to protect her from a pandemic she was in little danger from demographically. She discovered “chronic pain is everywhere.” A “colleague developed an autoimmune disease after being bitten by a virus carrying mosquito”, a friend “had a bad reaction to an antibiotic and ended up with disabling nerve pain that lasted for years.”

In 2010, the Institute of Medicine estimated 100 million Americans have chronic pain, more than combined diabetes, heart disease and cancer patients. Yet, the National Institute of Health has “no center devoted to pain”, with fractional funding for pain research compared to those diseases. HIV/AIDS, (the lost unicorn of spending priorities by Anthony Fauci), reaped the richest rewards of federal funding over decades he was in charge of National Institute of Infectious Diseases and Autoimmune Disorders.

After 20 years of feasting on opiate sales, there’s money being poured into Pain by the pharmaceutical industry seeking a non-opioid “Ozempic for Pain.” The NIH HEAL initiative began distributing $4 billion in 2018, “addressing the opioid crisis.” These twinned serpents are funding Pain centers, clinics and research labs at numerous universities.

Kahn interviewed directors at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri, (with “four centers devoted to studying tissue samples taken from patients with chronic pain”), University of Washington in Seattle, and University of California San Francisco, which promises holistic personalized medicine at their Center for Pain Medicine.

Their “new clinic, previously located in a dingy, isolated building”, has an entire “sunny, custom built floor with tall windows overlooking the bay.” Ketamine infusions are offered, with “individualized treatment plans and ongoing support.” A “medically detailed” questioning by a neurologist, relieved her feeling of not being heard. He vented, “For so many people, interacting with the medical system makes their suffering worse.”

Unintentionally, Kahn reveals why doctors scrupulously ignore chronic pain, because so much is medically induced. They don’t examine their damages, much less own up to them. None of these experts asked about her vaccine status, and Kahn never mentions it, but is undoubtedly fully jabbed and boosted, since that was UC’s mandate.

Breast surgeries- mostly mastectomies, leave 40-60% of victims in chronic pain, while one in seven hernia surgeries also end up with the same pain level as an amputated limb. How many are informed that all surgeries roll the dice between relief or sheer hell?

Cancer chemo and radiation, chronic illness (caused by inflammatory inoculations, foodstuff, sedentary loneliness, environmental and psychological stressors), traffic crashes, sports injuries, back strain, falls, diabetic neuropathy, cardiovascular interruptions, all contribute to one third of Americans being in miserable pain. No wonder we’re eager for change. MAHA or Bust!

Kahn is integrally identified with the medical monopoly like her doppelganger, Naomi Klein. Her pronouns give it away. “Our understanding of chronic pain is far behind. We don’t know why” some people develop it from an injury or surgery. “We don’t know which genetic and cellular systems get out of whack, or how to fix them.” Like a rabbit eared TV, most medical interventions only deliver a solid whap.

Kahn is a professional propagandist, promoting medical moon landing hype of “large scale, personalized medicine that will prevent a lot of patient suffering.” Soon, medical science will “breakthrough the complexity of pain and find new treatments for a wide spectrum of chronic conditions. The prospect of a new era of pain treatment has me hopeful, but it’s still excruciatingly out of reach. The Future can’t come soon enough.”

Kahn’s royal “We” can’t acknowledge Warp Speed jabs as probable cause of her disabling pain. Unless it was Frozen Shoulder- which medical doctors can’t explain either, with no treatment that doesn’t make it worse. It goes away in a year or so, like Kahn’s. “After my arms went berserk, they started to get better gradually and then more quickly”, although they still ached. No one could tell her why, except for a physical therapist’s wisdom, “nerves heal slowly.”

Or possibly from Learning to Love GMO glyphosate residue. She’s sold on Science.
