Yesterday’s post summed up the week’s coronavirus news in the UK.
It was all rather interesting, ranging from vaccine distribution in Coventry to Sky News’s Kay Burley being sent to Coventry and back to London — for a six-month suspension. Gosh. Talk about ‘being sent to Coventry’, i.e. ostracised.
More snippets from this week follow in the coronavirus crisis.
Remember medical statistics history — Prof Carl Heneghan
Prof Carl Heneghan from Oxford warns that we should not forget statistics pre-Covid. Let us cast our minds back to one year ago, 2019:
Most respiratory infections have gone down from this time last year.
COVID-19 is the only new addition with a dramatic upward spike.
An American physician speaks out
Dr Brian Lenzkes, an internist from San Diego, California, offered an interesting thread on coronavirus censorship in the medical community.
But, first, let me begin with the following madness which he rightly exposed. Influenza has disappeared? Pull the other. A San Diego County health official says so — because people are wearing masks:
Yet, there are no tests for flu.
Dr Lenzkes has excellent tweets about diet and coronavirus, among them the following thread about censorship on the subject:
Note the fifth tweet:
Meanwhile, non-COVID patients are losing their well-being
In Britain, the National Health Service has become the National Covid Service (NCS).
Many patients with other serious conditions are losing out on critical care. This lady has lost her sight because of the NCS:
WHY?
Surely, after over 70 years, the NHS, sorry, NCS, can — and should — do much better.
Helen is only one of thousands who have gone without the care they needed.
The unvaccinated deserve nothing?
The chairman of the Oxted and Limpsfield (Surrey) RAFA — Royal Air Force Association — tweeted that those without the coronavirus vaccine should be denied service. In his opinion, there is no excuse:
Wow.
Many of us recall when the RAF fought for our freedom:
A London plumbing firm could mandate the vaccine for customers
Disappointingly, some service providers plan to discriminate against the unvaccinated.
This is Charlie Mullins, who heads London’s famous plumbing firm, Pimlico Plumbers. He gave this interview from his second home in Marbella:
Meanwhile, in Canada …
On Wednesday, December 9, the deputy premier of Ontario made a statement about coronavirus vaccines.
They are not mandatory, but if you don’t get vaccinated, your life will not return to normal:
However, the vaccine does not guarantee immunity
In any case, the vaccines do not guarantee immunity. They purport only to make the coronavirus episode less severe, much like the flu vaccine. Isn’t there a preventive solution, e.g. Vitamin D supplements, natural summer sunshine, a good diet, that could prevent the virus taking hold? I think we should be told:
In the US, overall death figures are low
Yes, despite what we read in the media, in 2020, the United States has a low overall death toll compared with previous years:
This woman is indignant over the lockdown(s) which have seen many shops in the Palisades Center in West Nyack, New York close (occasional language alert):
Londoners could be entering the dreaded Tier 3
The same nihilistic restrictions are going on in England, with the threat of London entering Tier 3.
This was yesterday’s headline in the London Evening Standard:
In conclusion
This is about the size of it. ‘Submit and obey’? Not on your Nelly:
Let’s remember:
In conclusion, the aforementioned Dr Lenzkes quoted the late Rod Serling from the original Twilight Zone:
It’s interesting that some did not think the warnings were strong enough:
Rod Serling and others warned the way they were able to do — based on their knowledge at the time.
Why do we ignore history?
