Covid Questions

I’m not a medical doctor. So this is not medical advice. Some of it may only be relevant to Australia. I can’t discuss laws all around the world.

1) Deaths by flu are virtually non-existent, what is going on?

Covid and flu seem to have the same vectors of transmission. Attempts to shut down or slow Covid will shut down and slow flu. If flu has more or less disappeared as a serious illness over the last couple of years it shows that flu is less contagious than Covid.

2) Flu deaths are being counted as Covid deaths

In a bad flu year in the US you get about 60-90 thousand deaths. This is about a tenth of the Covid deaths, so even if people were counting all flu deaths as Covid deaths it probably would not make that much difference to the figures.

3) Covid is just flu. Its not that bad.

Covid is not like flu. Covid causes blood clots, liver failure, heart failure, stroke etc. It may stop cell differentiation, so that cell replication fails, and the cells do not function. This is one reason why Covid is relatively easy to misdiagnose; it can look like other serious diseases.

4) Ivermectin is a inexpensive and safe drug for Covid which is being censored and undermined by the establishment.

Is Ivermectin being undermined because it works, or because it does not and its a scam, or a mistake? In large doses (as say suitable for a horse) it can cause ataxia (lack of muscular co-ordination), coma and death in humans.

5) There is no promotion of inexpensive and safe methods of natural immune boosting.

It will be great when Western Medicine researches natural immune boosting techniques, but they don’t. This is not a specific conspiracy about Covid. And how would we test whether the techniques worked against Covid anyway? This is a classic medical ethics problem. If the techniques don’t work we might kill people, or make people off guard and complacent and help spread the disease.

6) People get vaccinated after having Covid, that just shows the Vaccination is suspicious.

Vaccination, as far as I know, is not compulsory, so there is no need to accept the vaccine if its offered. However, beliefs and actions may have consequences. Accepting the consequences of your beliefs may be inconvenient for you, as always. It is up to you.

Furthermore, I understand, it is still unclear how much immunity a person develops to future infections from having Covid. If the experience was deeply unpleasant a person might want to take a vaccine for an immune boost. Some people might take the vaccine to try and help recover from ‘long covid’. Up to them.

7) Dr. Bossche, or someone or other, has a theory that a mass vaccination campaign during a pandemic may create more dangerous variants that are immune to the vaccine together with a vaccine degraded natural immune system. Why is this not discussed?

Clearly it is being discussed by some. Is Dr. Bossche a researcher into Vaccines with any experience of treating Covid in humans?

One possible reason there is little discussion amongst medicos is because he has little real experience and has not made a good case. We still do not know enough about Covid and what kind of immune response is necessary to defeat it.

There is always a case for letting lots of people die until those who survive are generally good at handling the disease. This is effectively the Trump, Boris Johnson method and was I think Sweden’s. It has not worked that well, yet. Its up to you what kind of death rate you accept, but be careful to specify it before you start the experiment, oh and win people over to the possibility of their death and that death rate…

The reality is that there will always be doctors and scientists who disagree with the mainstream. This does not necessarily mean they are correct. Just as youtube videos may not be better sources for ‘facts’ than sane mainstream news.

8) There is no investigation of the virus source

The virus source does not tell us much about how the virus behaves in humans, and is usually irrelevant. Anyway plenty of people seem interested in tracing it to shift blame to somewhere else.

9) Covid is an engineered virus

I’m not anywhere near well informed enough to tell, but the Chinese are not the only people doing bio-warfare.

If it was a Chinese bioweapon, then the release was clearly accidental (no one should be stupid enough to deliberately release a bioweapon in their own country), and we need to overcome the virus, not think blame will help. Incidentally, the Chinese and others have blamed the virus on a release by the US military (in China) which is equally plausible (and an act of war), but does not help us solve the problem either.

In either case it might be a good idea to make sure we stop and prosecute biowarfare research, or make the facilities absolutely idiot proof – which is probably impossible.

10) Masks are not effective. Why do I have to wear one?

If you want to go out and mix with people then yes in some places you have to wear a mask. In other places, say out in a park, you may not have to. You are free to stay at home or in your car and not wear a mask. Using masks is an attempt to stop you spreading Covid, or an attempt to lower your chance of catching Covid and taking up medical time space and equipment, from those who need it.

With Freedom comes responsibility.

I have also heard people argue that the virus is so small it will get through mask, and also argue that Oxygen cannot get through the masks, which is odd given Oxygen is much smaller than the virus. Viruses can also come in water droplets which don’t pass through the mask. Which is why you should keep masks clean.

Masks are not 100% effective. They reduce infection and spread rates, not stop it. They are better than nothing, and not terribly inconvenient.

11) The vaccine contains microchips which program your brain, etc….

This implies a massive set of scientific and technological breakthroughs, which it would be hard to conceal. They could be able to do this, but it is still a massive breakthrough. Known useful chips are not small enough to pass through needles, and we don’t know how to control the human brain by electronics. We can do a much better job through propaganda and repetition. It is really much easier to convince people that mind controlling microchips are going to be injected into them, than it is to actually do it.

12) Covid just benefits Pharmaceutical companies

Yes some pharmaceutical companies will make vast profits out of this. That is the way capitalism works. If you object to this, then object to capitalism, its profiteering and its supposed free markets.

It was Trump who started the hurry to get a vaccine and indemnified pharmaceutical companies against damage, in order to get the testing done quickly. So he is partly to blame for any problems that arise through that quicker than usual testing of a new vaccine.

13) How do we prevent something like this happening again?

The best way of preventing the recurrence of a global pandemic apart from a working and compulsory quarantine for all overseas travellers, is to shut down global travel, especially quick global travel. Which would be a useful step in terms of reducing emissions and disturbing the upper atmosphere as well.
