Turbo Cancer: An Intimate Story
Manage episode 412050411 series 2878668
When I discovered Kristi Yapp's Substack, "On This Day, Last Year – Six Months of Turbo Cancer", my reaction was something along the lines of "finally! Now we have our Solzhenitsyn!"
Kristi is too modest to accept the comparison, but I think it is apt. We've had mountains of reporting on the effects of the experimental gene therapy for Covid-19, we've seen the excess death numbers, the myocarditis studies, the increased cancer rates. But while all of these facts and numbers tell an important story, they don't touch us in the same way that the intimate details of one person's life do. The statistics don't move us as stories about the suffering, the love, and the spirit, of a single individual do.
"On This Day, Last Year" chronicles the last six months of the life of Kristi's mother, who developed turbo cancer after taking the Covid-19 vaccine. But her account is about much more than the effects of the vaccine. It is a painstakingly detailed accounting – and indictiment – of the inhumanity of institutionalized healthcare. And I believe that it is the kind of writing that is needed now more than ever.
In this interview, I speak with Kristi about her life before her mother's cancer diagnosis, including getting fired from her job because she declined the Covid vaccine. We talk about how she came to write her account; about her mother's powerful spirit, even in her last days; and about how we overcome this inhuman system.
