Title: An alternative view - corona virus
Post by: Nudga on April 25, 2020, 05:59:29 pm
Evening all. So we have the main thread about the corona virus, I've got absolutely no problem with that whatsoever.
I am an advocate of freedom of speech, your right to express your views and opinions.

I wanted to open up another thread to share an alternative view with reports and video clips from independent doctors and journalists etc.

A lot of people will call me a conspiracy theorist and a tin foil loco madman.
That's too easy, and lazy.

I question everything, I don't believe everything I see or read from MSM outlets, I don't believe what I hear from this government.

One big reason why I think something isn't right is the fact that a lot of the alternative information is being binned from the Internet.
Facebook, twitter, YouTube are taking down various clips and sensoring stories and people from the platform.
I just see a modern day propaganda machine in full flow.

I've already shared a few bits and pieces on the main topic which is being ignored.
That's fine, no problem but there might be others who would like to see a different side?

I don't believe every alternative news or piece I see either. Other sides have agendas too.

What I do see is too many coincidences and I believe we're heading for a very different future.

Some might see me as being dangerous and putting other people's lives at risk but I am following the social distancing guidelines etc out of courtesy for other people.

I'm not that bothered if I'm going to look stupid, after all, I only know a few of you on here and like I said, I don't believe all of the things I see but I've noticed a few regular posters aren't contributing anything.
Is this because they are afraid of offering their different opinions and made to look stupid by others?

There's probably going to be a lot of tumbleweed rolling through this thread but Ne mind, I'm a big boy.

There are industrial level operations in Russia and China pumping out disinformation on the internet. Shit, western governments are even dabling in it from time to time. That's your conspiracy right there. Not the drop in the ocean attempts to remove it.

I posted  this link (https://covid19obs.fbk.eu/) a few days back. 42% of all info concerning covid-19 is posted by bots/automated. 30% is untrustworthy. Just think about that, there's literally billions of pieces of information floating out there that are bullshit verging on dangeours.

CiM

There's the problem.

The FSB has it as an aim to undermine the stability of Western democracies by destroying our ability to tell truth from lies. There was an ex-FSB officer interviewed by the BBC not long ago. He said their intention was to destroy our ability to have rational democracy. And that there wasn't a damn thing we could do to protect ourselves from it.


 They will be in overdrive pumping out credible bullshit on this topic.

Nudga,

Thanks for starting this thread. An interesting alternative to following the daily figures (which are appalling and make me want to weep).

So, in the spirit of what you started, I want to offer some random thoughts. I expect them to be shot down but, hey, if it stimulates open debate I'd be happy.

Is covid the tuberculosis of our times? Not literally, I know, as, medically, it's different - one bacterial, one viral - but, in terms of impact.

In 2018, 1.5 million people died of TB; one quarter of the world was thought to be infected with it. So it's still a bigger (much bigger) killer than Covid. Even though it's treatable apparently. Every year, nearly half a million new cases of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis occur across the globe.

TB seems like a relic of a bygone era - a little over 100 years ago there were over 100,000 deaths annually in the UK - last year 5000 people got TB here. 

TB mainly afflicts deprived communities. Will covid follow a similar trajectory? Already, there are signs it hits deprived communities disproportionately. Similar risk factors too e.g. a weakened immune system.

I live on the site of an old TB hospital that was built over a hundred years ago. It had open air wards. Does the future see specialist covid hospitals or covid wards as we try and compartmentalise it out of our day to day lives and hospitals?

For TB, a vaccine took 15 years to come through. Thousands died each year in the meantime.

Is this what the future holds? Improving medical knowledge, specialist treatment and a gradually diminishing impact on our every day lives as we learn to live with it?
Title: Re: An alternative view - corona virus
Post by: Nudga on April 26, 2020, 10:16:49 am

Possibly a good idea to start here. Pasteur vs Bechamp on germ theory.

http://maronewellness.com/pasteur-vs-bechamp-an-alternative-view-of-infectious-disease/

Obviously Pasteur won the day and Bechamp is resigned to the history books.
Vaccines, medicine, it all costs money and someone always benefits from making money.

Now, I'd never heard of Bechamp until around two years ago.
My old school friend was very, very poorly. Doctors couldn't find what was up with her, but still pumped her full of drugs anyway, she lost a dangerous amount of weight and she was very scared of the possibility of death at a young age leaving kids behind.

She looked into alternative medicine /healing and found a lady who said she  could help.

She worked on the good bacteria that lives in the gut and changed my friends diet that de-toxifies the gut and also helps the good bacteria.
She also suggested more sunlight and walks and yoga. Simple eh.
My friend had a very good career that took her around the world so she was couped up in offices, trains and aeroplanes.

I recently saw my old school friend and she looked amazing, really healthy, more meat on her bones and she said that she felt great and her problems were gradually dissipating.


Now, I don't know enough about medical science to go one way or the other with this. Maybe both ideas can work hand in hand, maybe they do already?

So this takes me down to the vaccination argument.

In October 2019, The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, John's Hopkins School and The World Economic Forum held the 201 event in New York.

https://www.centerforhealthsecurity.org/event201/

A pandemic exercise which " would require reliable cooperation among several industries, national governments, and key international institutions."

A few weeks down the road and China gets the first outbreak of Covid 19.

And now we have Bill Gates at the forefront of testing/vaccinations

Nudga.

Come away from the specific and look at the big picture.

Following the Pasteur approach, we have eliminated Smallpox, and canned TB, Measles and a whole swathe of other deadly diseases.

Do you REALLY want to live in a world where we ignore that and out our trust in quack cures with zero scientific validity?

But if you want to do specific cases, I'll give you a very personal take.

When my father in law was diagnosed with lung cancer, he, in desperation, visited a German "alternative therapist" who had a glossy internet page full of examples of people he'd cured from cancer, through injecting them with huge doses of Vitamin C. My father in law paid him over €3000 for treatment. It did nothing to help him of course because it was a quack treatment by a fraudster, posing as a saviour to desperate people.
Title: Re: An alternative view - corona virus
Post by: Nudga on April 26, 2020, 02:49:49 pm
BST, I'm sorry to hear that about your father in law. Yes there are unscrupulous people about making money out of other people's misfortune.

I have also lost family members to cancer, four in fact.
Three of those had radiotherapy, the initial cancer was nuked away so to speak. 6 months later they died with aggressive brain tumours.

We could talk about the benefits of CBD and turmeric curcumin.
One of my clients wife has got cancer, she's had it for about 5 years.
The chemotherapy slowed the cancer down but the cancer cells numbers were still high (apologies on this part, I'm not sure what they measure, red cells, white cells? I can't remember what he told me)
Out of desperation, he bought some CBD last year , a few drops under the tongue every day. These numbers they measure the cancer with have started to drop, I think they were around 60 and now they are around the 40 mark.
Her consultant doesn't know about the CBD and was apparently stackered by the drop in the numbers.


Oh and zero scientific validity, do you not think that doctors of medical science are not struck off if they don't follow company policy (think Big Pharma)
Tony Fauci had Dr Judy A Mikovits struck off and ruined her career.

Title: Re: An alternative view - corona virus
Post by: BillyStubbsTears on April 26, 2020, 03:32:50 pm
And Seoul. And Taipei. And Hong Kong. They have all had low death totals.

Because they were prepared for this by the experience of SARS and they kicked into action far faster than we did.

In terms of reported deaths in the early stages, China was about 35 days ahead of Italy. But they locked down 46 days ahead of Italy. That 11 days is crucial. It gave them the ability to suppress the spread.

Germany similarly locked down ahead of us and Italy in their epidemic timescale. They have had a similarly successful outcome. Sobi don't know why you included Berlin in your list of badly hit cities. They have only had 123 deaths.

And I don't now what you mean about Beijing and Shanghai being "untouched". They both had extensive lock downs.

 Strangely on france 24 a while ago it mentioned which countries were doing what  furloughwise  and when it came to Germany , it only mentioned what Berlin, not Germany !! were up to which seemed strange. CLH thought of a Merkel angle there at the time  . Meaning it "indicated" Berlin was ahead of the rest of Germany "furloughwise" by a furlong .

Nudga.

I agree with you about being sceptical. But that doesn't mean I believe nothing. I work in a scientific area and science proceeds by checking claims against facts. When the facts go against the claims, the claims are binned. When the facts support the claims, the claims are strengthened.

On the topic of vaccination, I'd offer this evidence.

Polio (Widespread vaccination started in the west in the late 1950s and in the developing world in the 1980s)
(https://ourworldindata.org/exports/the-number-of-reported-paralytic-polio-cases_v1_850x600.svg)

Smallpox (WHO ran an intensive vaccination campaign worldwide through the 60s and 70s)
(https://ourworldindata.org/exports/global-smallpox-cases_v3_850x600.svg)

Measles
(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/ed/Measles_US_1944-2007_inset.png)

You want my take. I think the powerful people who have pushed the anti-vaccination line are among some of the most evil people who have ever existed. Vaccination schemes have saved millions or lives and even more millions of horribly affected lives. I don't know what drives the people who first started pushing the nonsense that vaccination is a a conspiracy against freedom, but whoever it is, they are putting many people at risk.

Yes I am fully supportive of it. If there are various crank theories out there then they should be discussed and outed. Or if it is new information taken on board.

Sorry I can't add much to this topic as it isn't something I know in any great depth.

I do know that Bill Gates & his foundation have been interesed in improving health worldwide for many years, specifically improving the health of children.

This of course has made him public enemy No1 for the US anti-vaxxers who have started several conspiracies about him in that time. Maybe something for you to look into?

Yes I've seen the claims that his vaccinations have supposedly killed some Indian children and that his foundation has been kicked out of India.
I chose not to post that link on here as I said earlier, there are people with agendas, on all sides, as it is with most things in life. Even the science and scientific statistics can be manipulated.

My concern is the timing of event 201 and the timing of the outbreak.
And now he is at the forefront of the vaccination push.

In all honesty, I feel very uncomfortable with the whole social distancing thing.

Such as, piped information in supermarkets droning on and on about keeping your distance.
Stay home, stay safe. Stay home, stay safe, stay home, stay safe.
Face masks in the open air.
The happy clapping ritual on Thursdays.
Nurses doing tik tok dancing.
London Bridge full of nurses, police etc but people queueing at B&Q getting lambasted.
Police doing what police do, the heavy handed doormen type kicking people out of parks.

The slogans, new normal, frontline workers, key workers.

Yep.Of course. But not the fear that you mean.

The perfectly valid fear is that if we didn't handle this correctly, there would likely be a three week period over the Summer in which 5-10,000 people a day would die in the UK alone. That is what it is about. That is why we have to take these (temporary) measures.

There's no need to look at individual cases. And to some extent it doesn't really matter precisely what people are dying of. Death rates are going up astronomically around the world.

Have a look at this.

I suspect they are doing their best in unique times.

Look at that graph for England and Wales in the link I posted, Were are having twice as many deaths as normal. The doctors and coroners will be pushed to exhaustion.

And that's WITH the lockdown. If we hadn't had that, we'd  be pushing 5000 deaths a day now. I'd cut the medical and legal folks some slack if I were you.

No Nudga.

Twice as many deaths of ALL causes.

Whatever people are dying of, there's twice as many deaths at the moment than we'd normally expect. and it's like that all round the world. In that sense, what they are signed off as is a second order importance thing. The first order thing is that that many people are dying.
Title: Re: An alternative view - corona virus
Post by: Nudga on April 27, 2020, 05:41:09 pm
So if its not Covid 19 deaths and there's an increase in deaths for other reasons, should we be looking at why that is and having the same fear campaign thrust upon us?

What you wrote above strikes me as double standards. You've been pushing the daily covid death figures every day for weeks but I've given you 3 or 4 examples from real, local people dying of other things that have been passed off as Covid but now it doesn't matter what people are dying of?

Most of them WILL be CV-19 deaths. Yes, they will get a few wrong. Both ways. You need to look at the overall big picture, not individual cases.

And yes, there's an increase in other deaths because the health services all round the world are overstretched.

I'm not so naive as to think that there's never nefarious stuff going one, but for this to be a conspiracy, you'd need pretty much every (sane) politician, medic and epidemiologist in the world to be in on it.

The fact that she spent years pushing a claim that there was a link between a virus and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, which a concerted effort by other researchers was unable to find? And that the key paper she had written on the subject in the journal Science was retracted by them, because of this fact.

That is how the Scientific Method works.

Scientist A makes a claim. Scientists B-Z assess whether the claim makes sense and if it doesn't, publish counter arguments.

In her case, it was pretty well definitively shown that there were features of her results which no other lab in the world could reproduce, despite following exactly the approach she reported.

The conclusion when that happens is that Scientist A is wrong. Hopefully through being sloppy. In a worst case, through being deceitful.

Either way, your credibility is shot when that happens.

The number of excess deaths not attributed to covid-19 when in fact they should be (due to lack of testing etc.) will be far far greater than deaths associated with covid-19 that were wrongfully attributed.

Far greater.

No Nudga. She went against some of the basic principles of science.

It's a good principle. If someone is pushing a line that is a long, long way outside the scientific consensus, look at their back story. Some DO change the world because they are right. The overwhelming majority are cranks or frauds.

As for your graphs, I don't have any problem with the fact that public health, sanitation, better health treatment, better education and better nutrition all had significant effects on reducing deaths from infectious diseases.

That's not the issue. The issue is whether vaccination also adds to that improvement.

And, critically, whether it can be a key improvement in societies where they don't have the benefits of wealth that Western countries have, and investment in those other improvements is patchy.

By the way, that Learn the Risk website. It does something that I use as an automatic filter.

It cites a sentence from a paper. But it does so selectively.

The website says:
"Vaccination does NOT account for the impressive declines in mortality seen in the first half of the century…Nearly 90% of the decline in infectious disease mortality among US children occurred before 1940, when few antibiotics or vaccines were available."

The actual quote from the original paper says:
"Vaccination does NOT account for the impressive declines in mortality seen in the first half of the century…Nearly 90% of the decline in infectious disease mortality among US children occurred before 1940, when few antibiotics or vaccines were available."

You decide why they didn't cite the whole paragraph. Me, when I see that happen, I know the person presenting it is not interested in the truth. They are partisan. That makes me suspicious of their entire motives.

Post by: Sandy Lane on April 27, 2020, 08:28:03 pm
Hi Nudga, someone was wondering about anti-Vaxers and here is some info about some of them over here in the US.

It started many years ago when they were seeing a significant increase in numbers of kids diagnosed with autism, and initially a doctor said there may be a correlation between some types of vaccinations and autism.  MAY be.  But later it was disproven.  But people didn’t let it go.  So many then refused to vaccinate their kids.

Fast forward to current day and Robert Mueller - of the famous Mueller Report on Russian interference, found that they (Russia) were using health care issues to divide people. He found that anti vaccinations is an area that they have used to stir up people.  They are using Civid19 now, as Billy and CIM said, and they are still at it. See First and second links.

Tbh I also wondered if this unbelievably “perfect” virus - aka virulent and lethal - may have started in a lab, but I could find no evidence of it - just people pushing unfounded theories.

As for the heart attacks and strokes in patients from Covid, it is being noticed that this virus has caused problems with overactive blood clotting.  It’s like the opposite of Ebola where people can bleed to death.  Now the problem is blood is too think and clots, which can break off and travel through your blood stream to your heart or brain.  The problem with your friend (who has been classified as having covid19) fits the pattern with people having pneumonia and heart attack. To be sure they would need to test or as you say a post mortem.  See third link.

P.S.  Re: the links below. CBS news and also the Washington Post are trusted news sources here in the us.  Also, NY Times, ABC News, NBC news.

There is an account on Twitter @Teri_Kanefield - a law professor - who writes that you should always use trusted news organisations to get your facts to avoid fake news.  Also check many different trusted sources, which is the key.

By the way, that Learn the Risk website. It does something that I use as an automatic filter.

It cites a sentence from a paper. But it does so selectively.

The website says:
"Vaccination does NOT account for the impressive declines in mortality seen in the first half of the century…Nearly 90% of the decline in infectious disease mortality among US children occurred before 1940, when few antibiotics or vaccines were available."

The actual quote from the original paper says:
"Vaccination does NOT account for the impressive declines in mortality seen in the first half of the century…Nearly 90% of the decline in infectious disease mortality among US children occurred before 1940, when few antibiotics or vaccines were available."

You decide why they didn't cite the whole paragraph. Me, when I see that happen, I know the person presenting it is not interested in the truth. They are partisan. That makes me suspicious of their entire motives.



For some reason I cannot paste the full.quote. It's just pasting the original and that kind of makes my post look stupid. I'll do it a bit later.

OK. Post #42 that I totally ballsed up because the copy/paste wouldn't work. This is what it was meant to say.

"Vaccination does NOT account for the impressive declines in mortality seen in the first half of the century…Nearly 90% of the decline in infectious disease mortality among US children occurred before 1940, when few antibiotics or vaccines were available."

The actual quote from the original paper says:
"Thus vaccination does not (NB: No capitals) account for the impressive declines in mortality seen in the first half of the century. The reductions in vaccine-preventable diseases, however, are impressive. In the early 1920s, diphtheria accounted for about 175 000 cases annually and pertussis for nearly 150 000 cases; measles accounted for about half a million annual cases before the introduction of vaccine in the 1960s. Deaths from these diseases have been virtually eliminated, as have deaths from Haemophilus influenzae, tetanus, and poliomyelitis."

You decide why they didn't cite the whole paragraph. Me, when I see that happen, I know the person presenting it is not interested in the truth. They are partisan. That makes me suspicious of their entire motives.


PS: The "Nearly 90% of the decline in infectious disease mortality among US children occurred before 1940, when few antibiotics or vaccines were available" sentence actually comes BEFORE the sentence that your webpage puts it after. That might be just sloppy, but in general, it is a no-no to move stuff around when you are directly quoting. It gives the impression that you are trying to say something that the original author didn't intend. I don't think that is the case here, but the fact that they chose to put THAT sentence in and not the actual text which follows in the real paper tells you everything you need to know. They are presenting the information is a highly biased way, and having seen that, I wouldn't trust them if they told me it was Monday.

I'm sorry mate, but the first evidence you gave is from a discredited, crank scientist and the second one is clearly and unequivocally trying to peddle a biased line. I've only got so much patience and I don't think, in the light of that, that I'm being unreasonable in saying the onus is on you to demonstrate that the rest of your sources are not similarly flawed.

And I'd also point out that I did entirely accept the argument that massive improvements happened before vaccines. I'm not trying to start an argument here. But I DO get angry when I see sites that that Learn the Risk one deliberately and consciously misleading intelligent people like you on an issue that is so important. So my apologies if my response comes across as a bit terse.

Nudga.

Most of them WILL be CV-19 deaths. Yes, they will get a few wrong. Both ways. You need to look at the overall big picture, not individual cases.

And yes, there's an increase in other deaths because the health services all round the world are overstretched.

I'm not so naive as to think that there's never nefarious stuff going one, but for this to be a conspiracy, you'd need pretty much every (sane) politician, medic and epidemiologist in the world to be in on it.

I think you are being too restrained here.

The number of excess deaths not attributed to covid-19 when in fact they should be (due to lack of testing etc.) will be far far greater than deaths associated with covid-19 that were wrongfully attributed.

Far greater.

I remember a graph that showed this better than any description will - but as I can't find it now and there will be new figures out tomorrow anyway:

In the week to 10 April, there were 6,213 deaths where Covid19 was mentioned on death certificates, according to the ONS and 7,996 more deaths than the rolling average for that week of the previous five years.

So if these extra 1700 deaths that would not be expected at this time of year are not down to Covid-19 - what are they down to?

We will never really know for sure but the number of deaths being attributed to Covid-19 is far more likely to be an under-estimate than an overestimate.

"The difference between the approach in Sweden and in other countries is not very big. It's mainly the tone that we deal with," said Johan Carlson, director of Sweden's public health agency

Universities, Colleges and some high schools did close in Sweden. It kept open primary schools and nurseries for the stated reason that key emergency service workers needed childcare. This happened in alot of other European countries as well.

At the end of March, Sweden started to become very worried itself about primary schools and nurseries, signing several executive orders giving it power to close them if needed, or on a case basis.

Anyway I digress.. Each day he works I ask him for the total for the day and every single time the NHS total that he has access to is higher then the figure given by the WHO by up to 100 souls a day.

Back on Sweden, I see their chief epidemiologist is saying that 25% of the population has now had the virus. That's about 2.5 million people.

That estimate certainly hasn't come from testing. They have a lower rate of testing even than us and have tested only about 1% of their population.

Given that they have had 2,600 deaths, it seems that the 2.5million estimate comes from an assumption that the Infection Fatality Rate is 0.1%. Their chief epidemiologist has frequently quoted that number.

Which is interesting because that is right at the very bottom of the range that has been quoted from serological studies that have been conducted to date.

I hope to God that he's right. Because if he is, this disease is much less deadly than we have been believing.

But it seems a bit hard to believe. As CiM pointed out a week ago, already CV-19 has killed more than 0.1% of all the residents in New York. So even if every single person in NYC had already had the disease, the IFR would already be above 0.1%.

Like I say, I'd love for Sweden to be right. But it's a massive gamble.

At the very maximum around 1 person in 2000 in the UK has died in this epidemic.

The nearest it's come to me is a colleague of an old friend who died at the age of 40. Had all the symptoms of CV-19 apparently and was certified as having died of CV-19. I'm genuinely sorry for you if your circle of friends has had it a lot worse than this.

I think I’ve (or at least my wife’s family has) been more affected than most. My mother in law’s sister was in hospital having had a hip replacement around the time lockdown started and tested positive after being in there. Didn’t really have any symptoms other than a bit of breathing difficulty (although she has lung cancer anyway) and feeling overwhelmingly tired. She recovered and was discharged but is back in hospital now with an unrelated infection. My father in law has a brain tumour and has been on chemo for the best part of a year, 2 carers coming round every day and went in to hospital just over a fortnight ago after having breathing difficulties. He tested positive and has been in receiving oxygen ever since.

Having seen (well ok, not “seen”!) first hand the impact this has had and the response (the communication from the hospital with my father in law has been absolutely first rate) I’ve no issues with the medical response.

Its been posted on this forum a few times now, and has been in the news as a result. Even in 'normal' time deaths are not registered with exact precision, as single causes. It just insn't like that. You would need triangulation from a coroner's report, doctor, post-mortem (even then it might be conclusive - my uncle died randomly in the kitchen one day and the cause was inconclusive). In most cases they rely on a doctor filling in a death certificate. The doctor is often imbued with imperfect knowledge and has to make a profressional judgement. Then, there are multiple aspects (underlying conditions etc.) listed on the certficate. There is no, one single reason listed.

For your claim of 'falsifying' records you would need systematic corruption among pretty much every doctor in the country.

Its really just an imperfect system and humans trying to make the best of it.

Wow that is a catalogue of misfortune.

I am watching from a distance and the NHS Staff (I have 2 in my close family) seem to be doing a great job. It is what I expect because you wouldnt go into it surely if you didnt care as it must be a challenging thing to do without the added "fright" of this potentially deadly virus waiting for you each shift

I hope when this is all over the NHS Staff will be remembered for "eternity" and valued - yes monetary wise - for the same eternity. They deserve it period

Agreed Wolfy. I just read this morning that more NHS staff have died in the last few weeks than died in the first five years of the war in Iraq. They should be honoured. It all amounts to nothing though, unless the ones currently working aren't honoured with the right pay, equipment, and respect from the public.

Nudga

That's fine. That is her opinion.

The Scientific Method works by different scientists putting forward their opinions and then having them checked against evidence.

So let's look at the facts as they currently stand.

1) Pretty much every seroprevalance study to date has been consistent with a Infection Fatality Rate of 0.1-2%.

2) Gupta suggests that the actual IFR is more like 0.01-0.1%.

3) But...and here's the crucial thing...she offers precisely zero evidence for that. It's entirely based on her opinion.

The way the Scientific Method works is that her opinion would carry a lot of weight if there was evidence emerging that everyone else in the world was wrong and she was right.

But there isn't.

So she claims (with zero supporting evidence) that everyone else's studies (that indiacte that her opinions are grossly wrong) are flawed.

Now, she MAY be right. Just like the people 500 years ago who said to Copernicus, "We don't care if your model that says the earth goes round the Sun predicts the positions of planets accurately and the evidence increasingly supports it. WE believe that the Sun goes round the earth" might have been right.

But the outlier opinions will only become accepted when the evidence supports them. It doesn't matter if the person pushing the outlier ideas is from Donny Tech or Oxford University. As the greatest scientist of the 20th century, Richard Feynman said, it doesn't matter how beautiful your theory is - if it is contradicted by the evidence, it is wrong.

Post by: BillyStubbsTears on May 22, 2020, 12:19:51 am
By the way, Gupta's team didn't "produce a rival model back in March" as that article incorrectly says. They didn't produce any "model" at all. At least not one based on evidence. They did calculations based on the ASSUMPTION that already by then, 50% of the population had been infected.

That's not a model. It is guesswork and presenting results that show what the case would be if their guess was correct.

They probably already have a stock pile of something even more harmful now they have seen the results of how this has spread.

They still have not been able to confirm that the virus came from that fish market in Wuhan.

Personally I think it is too much of a coincidence that there is a high security biolab, literally just down the road, where they are known to be experimenting with coronavirus, where they are known to have been experimenting with bats.

Whether or not it is something they have found in the wild or if this is engineered, who knows. Chances are though, that lab is the origin.

Do you not think it odd that after many years of economic growth that as soon as China starts to struggle and is also involved in a trade war with the U.S. that this happens and the economy of the West is smashed in one fell swoop? It is a fact that they have a lab in Wuhan where they work on this type of thing. I just find it hard to believe that this all originates from a food market all of a sudden. They must have been eating rats, bats and cats for thousands of years over there.
Regarding our governments response I believe they want to scare us. It has been stated by many scientists that to normal, healthy people it is probable to recover well after a couple of weeks. Surely it would have been better to isolate and look after the vulnerable properly and let everyone else continue to work?
As regards cashless society the powers that be really want this to happen so they can make sure no-one is fiddling the inland revenue. You can only buy a loaf of bread at the bakery in Epworth if you are contactless! So if you have a normal bank card which is not contactless you've had it.

I agree that the notion that the virus was released intentionally seems fanciful.

We know the Chinese government were in a flap when it first emerged, denying it, surpressing it. Circumstances suggest it looked like they didn't believe it and then wanted to hush it up. Which could suggests they knew it might have come from the Wuhan lab.

You need to have a step-back and think about the implications of what you are saying.

1. China has comitted one of (if not) the worst war crimes in history
2. Our government is hiding the (worst) war crime (in history).

I am not trying to be condescending (before some posters above churp in), but that is the gravitas of what you are suggesting.

That is hard to believe for so many reason. Me? I think governments mainly make decisions for economic reasons and this has hit China economically. It immediately discredits it alot for me. Hidden by our governments? Do you not listen to Trump. He was at it for two months blaming China.

'They' think. And by they I mostly mean genetic biologists but several intelligence agencies have actually also had to release statements saying the same thing, that the virus does not show any signs of being engineered, and in fact has a specific natural origin in a particular species of bat.

What we don't know is how it got to humans. Partly because there is a lack of evidence (and China has hidden and obfuscated a lot of evidence).

Zoonotic transmission is one hypothesis. (fits in with histroical precendent, probably orginated from rural china and not Wuhan)
It is a reasonable hypothesis it escaped a lab/research by mistake.

But there's very little evidence for either.
Title: Re: An alternative view - corona virus
Post by: River Don on May 22, 2020, 03:10:54 pm
There is pretty good evidence that it first emerged in that area of Wuhan. There are other earlier suspected cases in other areas, even in America, the Chinese have claimed.

It being first reported in Wuhan is pretty firm though, and that really begins to narrow it down to either the fish market or one of two labs.

Now they still haven't been able to firmly link it with the fish market. I even saw one report in a paper that claimed the fish market could be discounted.

But the lab with a couple of the world's leading coronavirus experts, known to be working with bats... No one wants to talk about that much. Except Trump who let it slip, he'd seen evidence from five eyes suggesting that was a prime candidate.

I am not sure about either now, RD, to be honest.

I don't have the link to hand, but there was a virology expert detailing that its just as likely the first transmission happened in a deep rural area, and it was transport to the fish market through that person, and that the market the first cluster, not case, cluster. This has happened with (alot of) other pathogens in history.

But the evidence isn't there for anything, it needs repeating.

If this virus was released from a Chinese biolab to destroy the west how come it has affected different countries differently?

Did they release it in stronger doses in UK & US than Germany or Greece?. Did they warn Vietnam & Taiwan (rival neigbouring countries?) Did they practice on Iran first (also an enemy of the west)?

And which freedoms is it exactly that our government has 'taken away'? The right to go out and die by catching an incurable invisible virus that was released by a Chinese lab for that very purpose and for you to spread it around your local vicinity for a couple of weeks in the process? It's hardly the right to vote or fair employment law.

I couldn't watch all of it, the first 10 minutes had me thinking that this guy is a complete nutter, he's defying the whole of the scientific community by claiming this Covid 19 isn't a virus at all. Yet he's no scientific training at all. Just plainly baffling.

I shared a beer with David Icke once upon a time, and I remember after half an hour or so I thought that he was a decent chap, but his brain is wired up wrong, just completely on another planet, this guy reminds me of him.

I hear nurses are questioning the above and wondering why the wards aren't busy.
Some question the treatment given also.


Just because some of us aren't able to hypothesise the shit out of any given subject with song and verse (and graphs, which can also be manufactured), doesn't mean our thoughts and questions are any less valid than anybody else's and then rubbished as random statements.

A couple of months ago we had daily updates of death rates, death rate league tables, death graphs etc.

Now the deaths are dropping, we don't see the daily death rates, we just hear about the 2nd wave and more and more and more politics.

I believe that what we saw in March and April WAS the 2nd wave.

So many people were very ill in November and December with a different, shitty virus that knocked the stuffing out of them for a couple of months, my mum included.

It's my belief that we are being conditioned into this "new normal" and that things will never be the same until we have a vaccine.

THIS, is the perfect time to be drumming it into people about eating the right food , drinking the right fluids, getting more exercise, fresh air and sun light.
But no, sadly nothing.

Our children will go back to school with these new normal anti social distancing rules and eventually it will be normal behaviour for them.

Sorry I didn’t explain myself properly.  I didn’t mean every point raised should have reams and reams of back up evidence to be taken seriously, just something to support the opinion.

For example, you raised an opinion that the peak in March/April was the second wave - your reasoning was an observation of something happening with similar illness around December.

That’s a great example of an alternative view which could subsequently be debated, ie what was going on in December.?

My response was to AL who claimed that alternate views are unwelcome, but IMHO he/she is wrong.

Nudga.

I'll not take offence at you suggesting I'm "manufacturing" graphs as part of some conspiracy. But you are so, so wrong on that mate. I'm beginning to think you are beyond being able to discuss this.

You are consistently ignoring ALL the welter of evidence in one direction, and pointing out stuff that is consistently and demonstrably incorrect.

And when it's pointed out as incorrect, what do you do? You ignore the mainstream evidence again and post more conspiracy theory nonsense.

As I keep saying, for your approach to be correct, you need millions of medics, nurses, coroner's and local politicians in every country in the world to be in on this. And you need them all to be taking the data in precisely the same way.

Really? You honestly believe that?

Nudga

Two reasons.

1) CV-19 has a far higher mortality rate than seasonal flu. Around 1% of the people who catch it die, compared to about 0.15% of people who catch flu.

That means that A LOT more people would die from an uncontrolled CV-19 outbreak. Probably 3-500k.

2) CV-19 is a lot more virulent than seasonal flu. The R number is about 4 when it isn't controlled, compared to below 2 for seasonal flu.

That means an uncontrolled epidemic would spread a lot faster. That means the epidemic peak would come faster and a hell of a lot more people would be infected at the same time. It's estimated that at an uncontrolled peak CV-19 outbreak, we would have over 1 million people needing hospitalisation. But we only have about 100k beds.

Stop and think what you are saying. This epidemic has been as bad as a very bad flu outbreak EVEN WITH AN UNPRECEDENTED LOCKDOWN!
 
That graph I posted a couple of days ago tells it all. Without the lockdown, deaths around the entire world were doubling every 3-4 days.

Question for you.

What do you think was going to stop that in the absence of a lockdown?

Because the Chinese have a lab creating viruses just down the road and they are not having it all there own way economically anymore. It's easier for them to lose a few thousand of their own this way rather than to start throwing missiles at each other and still get the result of screwing over the West that they want. Also no one is looking at what they are getting away with in Hong Kong, very convenient. I may be wrong, who knows, but who's to say that this is not the case?

Nudga

But it wasn't just the elderly who were needing hospitalisation.

This report sets out CoVid19 hospitalisations in March in America.

https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/pdfs/mm6915e3-H.pdf

50-64 year olds had a hospitalisation rate more than half that of 65+.

18-49 year olds had a hospitalisation rate about 1/4 that of the 65+ cohort.

So even if you totally lockdown down ALL pensioners but left those of working age free to spread the virus between themselves, you would still have massively overwhelmed the NHS. And I do mean "massively".

And that is before you take into account other effects. If you let 60% of the working population catch the virus, even if half had no symptoms, you'd still have had something like 10 million not hospitalised, but unable to work. All at the same time. For maybe a month. And that would have included key workers. So how would you have got food delivered? How would you have treated people in hospital? Etc. Etc.

To be honest, it is batshit to think that all the Govt's of the world are choosing to f**k up their economies when there was a perfectly simply way of dealing with this without economic carnage.

There wasn't.

Or Muslims. They never violently disagree with other Muslims, do they?

But just for clarification, are you saying that scientists' claims that they operate by the Scientific Method, where everything is open to criticism, are actually b*llocks? They are actually part of a conspiracy where they regularly fake their results to please their Masters, because they are terrified of being turfed out otherwise?

Post by: BillyStubbsTears on May 27, 2020, 11:39:27 am
Idler. That is precisely it.

Scientists DO get ostracized from the scientific community. But the ones who do are ones who have been demonstrated to falsify data, or who push opinions which are consistently contradicted by the evidence.

The whole point about science is that there is no Authority like God or Allah that defines The Truth. Opinions are constantly challenged and questioned and the people who become successful and famous are precisely the ones who say, "No, you are all wrong!" And then SHOW why they are all wrong.

Like Einstein demonstrating that the concept of absolute time and space were wrong. Like Copernicus demonstrating that the Earth went round the Sun, not vice versa.

If people truly believe that scientists are part of some evil conspiracy to suppress the truth and do only what some shadowy cabal of Masters tell them to do, then God f**king help us, because we are in the process of chucking out 500 years of rational, logical development that has overcome fear and ignorance, in favour of batshittery.

I read that post, and the fundamental flaw of the argument (people trying to stop brexit) is that brexit happened on 31 Jan this year.

The Uk has left the political alliance that is the EU.  All that remains is to finalise the trade agreements etc, but any delay or extension to that process isn’t about stopping brexit, as he claimed.

Also he berated the fact that Cummings is being pilloried when others like Kinnock aren’t.

He claims Cummings didn’t write the lockdown rules, but doesn’t give any proof of that.  Even if he didn’t write them, he would have been expected to advise the PM.?

Cummings is focussed on because he IS part of the government organisation, when the others he lists aren’t.

This is what I've been saying.

So for that example the coronavirus death total goes up by one, but the cancer total goes down by one..

If you extrapolate and then look at average monthly deaths year on year, you would then expect the year on year deaths to go down excluding coronavirus.

But aren’t there more excess deaths than average this year even after taking off the coronavirus ones?

I have no doubt that the actual cause of some deaths may be I accurately recorded, or that some people who were very poorly may have died due to their existing conditions being accelerated by the virus.

But certainly not enough to negate what the virus has done.?

If you want a REAL conspiracy Nudga, have a look what is happening in Florida.

They have a remarkably low number of CV-19 recorded deaths. Only just over 2000, which is about a fifth of the rate per head that we have in the UK.

Interestingly though, they have recorded many, many more pneumonia deaths. In fact so far this year, they have recorded 5,100 pneumonia deaths.

The usual average for the first 5 months of the year? 918.

Since they started recording covid-19 deaths in March the UK has had 60000 excess deaths - that is 60000 deaths more than there would normally be expected to be at this time of year.

38000 of these are officially recorded by the government of having coronavirus as a cause of death.

What did the other 22000 die of?

Karol Sikora is a crank with an agenda.

He's been admonished previously by Imperial College London for making a false claim about having an association with them and lying about having an honorary doctorate.

He's heavily invested in private healthcare and is a vocal proponent of privatising the NHS.

All that notwithstanding, he is a medical professional so his views should hold some credence. Except that as he well knows and has as many other medical professionals have reminded him in the responses to his tweet, there are very often numerous contributing factors on a death certificate. Anyone showing symptoms of CoViD-19 would have this noted as a contributory factor.

But all this is the social media equivalent of a red-top printing a headline on the front page on Monday and a retraction in very small print on page twelve on Thursday. The damage is done.

Interesting to see the death rate by age...

COVID-19 - Fatality Rate by AGE:

*Death Rate = (number of deaths / number of cases) = probability of dying if infected by the virus (%). This probability differs depending on the age group. The percentage shown below does NOT represent in any way the share of deaths by age group. Rather, it represents, for a person in a given age group, the risk of dying if infected with COVID-19.

AGE - DEATH RATE*
80+ years old - 14.8%
70-79 years old - 8.0%
60-69 years old - 3.6%
50-59 years old - 1.3%
40-49 years old - 0.4%
30-39 years old - 0.2%
20-29 years old - 0.2%
10-19 years old - 0.2%
0-9 years old - no fatalities
Title: Re: An alternative view - corona virus
Post by: BillyStubbsTears on June 08, 2020, 10:54:42 pm
Nudga.
The information on what is on death certificates is out there.

25% of deaths were in people who also had diabetes. That is by far the biggest co-morbidity. We didn't know in March that would be the case.

There are something like 4-5 million people in the country with diabetes. If we hadn't locked down and the virus cases had kept on doubling every 3-4 days, think how many of those would have caught the virus.

Easy to say that there could have been a different policy on lockdown. How would you have addressed those vulnerabilities that we didn't know existed?
Title: Re: An alternative view - corona virus
Post by: BillyStubbsTears on June 08, 2020, 11:11:43 pm
Or look at it in a simpler way.

There are about 17 million people in the UK between 50-69 years old.

If we hadn't locked down, by early May, about 60-70% of the population would have caught the virus.

So that would be about 10 or 12 million infections in that age group.

The figures that you have just posted say about 2.5% of that age group who have caught the virus have died.

2.5% of 10-12 million is 250-300,000.

Dead.

Nearly all in a 5-6 week period.

Except it would have been FAR higher than that because the 2.5% fatality rate is based on a situation where critically ill people got ICU beds. Without the lockdown, that would have ended in early April. And most of that 10-12 million would have been left to fend for themselves.

I know you will ignore that and find some other batshit nonsense to argue your point, but out here in the sane world, that is what we know damn well would have happened.

You have the privilege of indulging in your conspiracy theories because you aren't living in that alternative world where that happened. Because (albeit too late) we did the right thing.

Interesting how the government seems to be sidelining SAGE in favour of the new Joint Biosecurity Centre.

From the Institute for Government's website:

The government has not said that the JBC will replace SAGE, but from the information available we can expect that the new centre will have a more active role in advising ministers than SAGE. SAGE co-ordinates and presents scientific advice to decision-makers in government. The JBC will make specific recommendations on action the government might take to deal with disease outbreaks. It sits within the NHS Test and Trace service in the Department of Health and Social Care led by Dido Harding.

The government has also said that it will consider whether the JBC should form part of an extended and ongoing infrastructure to address biosecurity threats. SAGE is an ad hoc grouping with a changing membership to deal with a wide variety of emergencies.

Martin, listen to the clip. It doesn't matter one single bit who retweeted it as its from a daily briefing from Vallance on the BBC.

Yes the government are in the shit and making a shit job of it.
Do you think that they care? Not one apology over anything they've lied about, not one.
But it has become clear that some at the top table are lining there own pockets, they all have a conflict of interest somewhere along the line.

The spike in deaths will probably be attributed to cancer patients, patients with heart disease etc dying earlier in the year because of a lack of treatment and some will have succumbed to the virus because they were extremely weak anyway.
Karol Sikora is suggesting this also, he's very worried that there is going be a very high number of people dying of cancer for the rest of the year due to not having operations and getting treatment.
Bear in mind, hospitals are not busy either.
Then lump in the fact that a high percentage died in care homes, again, frail old people that weren't shielded properly and others shunted from hospitals into care homes.

I don't just get bits of info from twitter either.

And for your last analogy, if it looks like cancer, feels like cancer, smells like cancer then it's probably cv19.

Refer back to what Vallance said.

I don't know, I'm not privvy to that information.

My hunch is that money and power are behind it.

Big tech firms , big pharmaceutical firms will all cash in on this as well corrupt government officials.

There's talk of vaccines being ready in September, that is bloody quick don't you think.

There were huge conferences and meetings in 2019 about pandemics and vaccinating the world.
Great foresight.

As for economies, it's easy to magic billions of money (we were told once that there wasn't a magic money tree) from somewhere.
And debt is good, but not for foot soldiers like you and me as its us, our kids and their kids who will pay for it.

1) Your approach, as I've said before, requires every PM, every medic, every scientific adviser and every coroner IN THE WORLD to be in on the conspiracy. Don't you think that strains credibility?

2) Pandemics and vaccination. We'd previously had two near-miss pandemics in the 2000s. SARS in 2002 and Swine Flu in 2009-10. We know what pandemics can do. The Spanish Flu killed about 1 person in every 40 in the world a hundred years ago. Scientists and responsible Governments would have been criminally negligent not to be planning how to address the inevitable next pandemic, that was always coming.

3) Magic money tree. I'm with you there. There was ALWAYS the means for us to spend more on public services. Always. It was a POLITICAL trick by the Tories to refuse to do so under the Austerity argument. It was economic madness.

They've had to spend now because of the scale of the emergency. That is THE biggest reason why this absolutely is NOT a conspiracy. The last thing this lot want to do is increase Govt debt. It goes against every nerve and fibre of their existence.

The government has not said that the JBC will replace SAGE, but from the information available we can expect that the new centre will have a more active role in advising ministers than SAGE. SAGE co-ordinates and presents scientific advice to decision-makers in government. The JBC will make specific recommendations on action the government might take to deal with disease outbreaks. It sits within the NHS Test and Trace service in the Department of Health and Social Care led by Dido Harding.

The government has also said that it will consider whether the JBC should form part of an extended and ongoing infrastructure to address biosecurity threats. SAGE is an ad hoc grouping with a changing membership to deal with a wide variety of emergencies.


A good thing or a bad thing?

Apparently the government were being forced into publishing the minutes for SAGE.

I just love this one from possibly the most ignorantly opinionated journalists at any of the broadsheet papers.

Two thoughts.

1) There are 68 million people in the country. The number who took part in VE Day celebrations, or went to the beach in the heatwave, or went on protests is a tiny fraction of that. Anyone expecting those activities to leads to a rise like March has lost the right to be talked to like a grown up.

2) Social distancing doesn't work? Err...I  wonder what that change in the curve in early April was due to then? You reckon the virus just took pity on us?

BST, on your point one above, there was lots of reference on this very forum to those people and plenty suggested that we would see a spike in infections as a result.
I suppose that those posts were not discredited because they weren’t by a journalist that you don’t like?

Hound. If you want to pay me to go full time at this, I'd be happy to respond to every post and fully fact check every one of mine. Let me know.

Why are you saying that?
You spend as much time on this forum as anyone, probably more than most.
Are you saying that you didn’t see any posts about what I mentioned above?

Yeah, looks like he's in a different boat in the same lake as other dodgy medical proffesionals.

I'd suggest you trust the ones who said back in early February that, unmitigated, the number of infected cases would double every 4-5 days (it was actually every 3-4, but close) and the infection fatality rate would be about 1-2% (1% is looking very much like it).

Too many humans using too much resource..... “Acceptable attrition “ can and should solve the problem.....there doesn’t need to be a conspiracy regarding these little pandemics, the real issue is sustaining life beyond this century if we can escape global conflicts....( the tit for tats are happening ) .......
