Comments by "" (@DanielSMatthews) on "South Australia records 4,349 new COVID cases" video.

Why are we attacked and harassed even for asking such reasonable questions, as if some people think that we have no right to even wonder about them?

If we look at nations with lower vaccination rates and far inferior health systems we also see very few deaths, even in areas where they have a lot of inadequately managed AIDS cases, so why shouldn't we also conclude that the Omicron variant of COVID-19 is not significantly pathogenic?

You can't even ask question that directly address issues raised by the information discussed in the video without the questions being censored. How afraid do people have to be of the truth if genuine questions are forbidden? And yeah I am keeping a log of each one with time and date verified by a third party.

@andrewpotter1159 That is clearly a bigoted (and so hypocritical) generalisation. How many of the people you vilify as "Anti Vaxxas" are actually vaccinated against many things, with traditional technology?

Did you see that comment from me come up as a notification then vanish. Blatant censorship.

Why in India even during the Delta wave did the deaths never get higher than 15 percent of the normal deaths with the very same comorbidities? Why are there so many of these anomalies?
2
Why do they list deaths, did the coroner find that covid infection was the primary cause of death in each case? Is it even possible for them to work so fast?

@muzzleflash1 That is a stalking attempt by "him" report it.

@oldbloke204 It is not Sky News' site they are just another user, on the same level as us. It is run by a subsidiary of Alphabet and either way they should if nothing else respect the US constitution. That they ignore porn or investment spam and delete legitimate commentary or observations is perverse and dubious conduct.

@oldbloke204 They could turn off the comments, that is a different matter. As for reporting people, you can say what you like so long as it is not a false and defamatory attack on a recognisable person or targeted abuse designed to impede free speech. Is your moral compass really that fucked up? No wonder you hide your ID. If you say I am being negative then that is your interpretation, the truth is not valued in that manner, it just is. Perhaps you could say that certain people find me inconvenient? They have an agenda, and it is not an honest or honourable one, that much is clear, and they have gotten a lot worse of late. Take a vote on that in the comments here and you know I would have a lot of people agree with me. When I do make an inconvenient observation and so many people upvote it they should take note of that, not resent it. But they are not about learning, they are about power and control.

All of the states are claiming high vaccination rates and have imposed restrictions, yet they are also experiencing exponential growth curves in their new infections, as you see in textbook epidemic simulations where there are no interventions operating at all. Why can't we then reasonably conclude that the vaccinations have no benefit with regard to infection control?

@oldbloke204 Look at it yourself, the dataset is so large that the chaotic mess that is typical of smaller nations is smoothed out, it is actually statiticaly of a higher quality. I gather you know nothing of signal processing and the like?

@oldbloke204 That response is a little desperate don't you think. Mate I am an academic, held a title at Melb Uni before I was even 25 and have been reading very widely in non-fiction, mostly science, for decades since. You put that much work into anything and you will have a dazzling amount of skills or knowledge too. That is the reward for hard work. WTF did you waste so much of your life on then? Why did I pick India, because it was first delta wave and the dataset is so large, more samples is better. Get it? Also it was in some regards a good worst case scenario, what happens when you don't have the quality of care we have in Australia, this is why the results are remarkable, despite all that they still saw relatively few deaths. It really is as if nobody died of covid at all, they simply died on schedule and covid came along for the journey. I have read the detailed biochemistry of covid infection, I do know how it can harm vulnerable people at a very specific level of detail. This is why I have concluded that vulnerable equals moribund, already on death's door in the vast majority of cases. I could list 20 references here and discuss what is on each page of them but you know they will delete the comment and waste my time.

@oldbloke204 So you value different things in life. I am not a bigot and can appreciate that, but can you? That it cuts both ways? Why are you dictating to me what I should do and where? Why are you even here yourself if you think it questionable? Perhaps you have made a big and very flawed assumption about the real amount of time and effort I spend. It never occurred to you that I am doing multiple other things at the same time but after 40 years of using computers that I am able to absorb and produce information in volumes that are far higher than people who have not had the same level of specific training and experience as a knowledge worker? I'm sitting on a supercomputer cluster and have an AI running on it. Anyway What other forum should I look at, given this is not my primary or even secondary activity and they come first? Why do I need to eat a steak? I have no shortage or meat or fat on my bones.

@oldbloke204 That was also a bit desperate, and lame, gaslighting is not one of your strong skills is it, or have I just got a very thick skin after chatting with the likes of you in the last few years? You have no idea what my purpose or motivations are, but I have been honest with you, that this is a minor aside from other things I am doing. And yeah it is a supercomputer cluster. Not corporate scale but for this context very powerful, and energy efficient. BTW Rupert Murdoch is Daniel Scott Matthews' third cousin once removed's husband's great niece's ex-husband's aunt's husband's nephew's ex-wife's ex husband's ex-wife's father. LOL Then again I am also related to both Gandhi and Hitler, so I guess Rupert is too. ROFL

If as much as 30% of normal deaths on any given day are associated with the comorbidities seen in the vast majority of fatal covid cases and covid has become endemic, why are we not seeing covid associated deaths above a small fraction of all of those normal deaths?
