@janmarsh Ahh yes, Yeadon, who said in October that the pandemic in Britain was essentially over at 45k deaths (it went on to kill another 80k), and that the global pandemic was over. I'll trust my life to people with a better track record thanks.

So vaccinated people don't factor into your equation?

Thanks for your opinion professor. Doctor? Medical student? At least read a newspaper article on the subject?

I'd start with trying to achieve vaccination rates.

Almost 50 million people vaccinated and everyone in the main risk groups who chose to receive the jabs. From this point on, I have ZERO sympathy with any adult who catches covid, regardless of how badly it affects them. Anti-vaxxers can all drop dead for all I care. We shut down the country for 18 months to protect the hospitals and the economy and that was right, but now it's time to open for the greater good. You'll NEVER achieve 100% safety, but the death rates have not risen despite the number of cases and hospitals have had 18 months to prepare. If not now, then when?

@public.public "can still be carriers thus infectious thus spread the pandemic further." The more people that are vaccinated, the less likely they are to ENCOUNTER someone who is infected. And how can they spread it further when over 80% of the population is immune to its effects? As for further lockdowns, I'm glad you can afford to sit on your butt at home for longer, but after 18 months, my primary business has been destroyed and many people are even worse off than me. Your theory is incoherent.

@mndflnslgn2880 Much as I trust an unsubstantiated quote of an opinion by an unqualified person in entirely the wrong area of government, the fact that you believe in "the mark of the beast" pretty much disqualifies you from the adult table.

@versatec1 "the vax is poison..." Evidence?

@tentaklaus9382 Anyone who uses the sheep emoji or the word "sheeple" pretty much disqualifies themselves from grown up conversation. You might as well switch your avatar to a picture of a tin foil hat.

@tentaklaus9382 I'm not bothering to fact check your points because your emoji denoted that you weren't worth taking seriously. It's nothing to do with feels - you advertised something about YOURSELF, and saved me the trouble. And now we're done. I've wasted more time than you're worth.

@graff8757 £ the second wave was brought on by the vaccine campaign" how so? " ruling that 0.9% of deaths were actually covid deaths" So what?! This was NEVER about mortality rates - it's about hospitalisation rates, taking up of vital resources, and after effects.
1
@tentaklaus9382 Riiiight, but YOU'VE somehow pulled back the veil and seen the truth with your fantastic youtube research skills? Don't make me laugh! :D

@tentaklaus9382 80% of people are not isolating - they're just not socialising, let's not be a drama queen. As for covid policy, do you REALLY think Hancock, a proven liar, is the only person in the world strategising this stuff? You're even more delusional than I thought.
1
@versatec1 Or not.
1
@graff8757 Really weird how all the nurses and NHS staff I knew were rushed off their feet and two were traumatised by all the deaths then. But I'm sure that your exhaustive Googling tells a more accurate picture than their personal experience. And I NEVER rely on media, state or otherwise to provide a complete picture.

@stevenhatton-planetthanet7234 To what purpose?
1
@tentaklaus9382 "80% of statistics are made up too." :D that one certainly was. "You're obviously even okay with 20% of the population causing themselves long term harm " and that one. And a straw man to boot. Two for the price of one. Please don't put words into my mouth. " yet can't even do the basic maths to figure out why so many doctors, nurses, and lawyers are taking action against all these measures." Ah, and now an argument from popularity to finish. You're really not very good at this are you?

@stevenhatton-planetthanet7234 It's a bout the little dopamine hit they get each time they voice their conspiracy and think that they are getting one up. I generally find facts don't penetrate their delusions Steven.

@tentaklaus9382 I was pointing out the stupidity of claiming statistics are not trustworthy, then using statistics to prove it. I NEVER argued that isolation was NOT bad for health, but it's a pathetically weak bridge to build your case on. For starters NOBODY is being forced to isolate for more than 2 weeks - not remotely enough to do harm. You're acting as though it's solitary confinement FFS! Everyone else can still move freely, meet people, talk to people, socialise in small groups. Don't be a drama queen.

@davidbarlow350 3 million dead from covid. 1400 is trivial compared to that AND how many more would have died. I don't know what you're talking about with hydroxychloroquine but it was dismissed by the WORLD'S medical experts. "The results of the UK genocide agenda are successful." So it was an actual pandemic, for which we should all have taken a contra-recommended treatment because it's all a plan to commit geocide with globally approved vaccines? Thank fuck you're not in charge with logic like that.

@welditmick Any cause of death that increased a population's death rate by 5% is not considered "a very small percent."

@asimov1123 Classic low IQ Dunning Kruger arrogance and stupidity, added to some good old fashioned strawman arguments. I never claimed the government cares about me.

@davidbarlow350 It took ten minutes to cast serious doubt on your first three cited experts. I'm not "arguing the toss", I'm shooting down the credibility of your narrative with facts. "On July 23, 2020, Risch published a Newsweek op-ed that championed the widely discredited COVID drug hydroxychloroquine. He relied entirely on older, shoddy studies suggesting benefits for COVID patients while ignoring more recent, rigorous studies showing zero benefit and significant potential for harm. Risch also ignored his obvious logical fallacies, such as disregarding confounding variables (adding azithromycin, doxycycline, and zinc as treatments) and conflating correlation with causation (the “natural experiments” of countries using or not using hydroxycloroquine). His own colleagues published a stinging rebuke of his argument." https://medium.com/swlh/credible-misinformation-dr-harvey-rischs-newsweek-op-ed-700105a12e25 "After testing this three-drug cocktail on hundreds of patients, some of whom had only mild or moderate symptoms when they arrived, Dr. Zelenko claimed that 100 percent of them had survived the virus with no hospitalizations and no need for a ventilator... ...He said that while he was optimistic, it was too early to tell whether the drugs would ultimately work." https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/02/technology/doctor-zelenko-coronavirus-drugs.html "Raoult “We confirm the efficacy of hydroxychloroquine in combination with azithromycin (an antibiotic) in the treatment of Covid-19”, write Didier Raoult and his team. But many experts argued on Saturday that it was impossible to draw this conclusion on the sole basis of this study, which has not been published at this stage in a scientific journal, because of the way it is drawn up. Their main criticism: the study does not include a control group (that is to say, patients to whom the treatment studied is not administered), and it is therefore impossible to establish a comparison to determine if it is the treatment that is causing the improvement." https://www.archyde.com/professor-raoult-publishes-a-new-study-immediately-criticized/ I can't be bothered to fact check your entire rambling, conspiratorial response. Go back to flat-eartherism - at least no lives will be lost. We're done.
