We also cannot hold open the door open, ever again, for those actors who most certainly do not have your best interests at heart. Those who crave power, above all. Many of them joined the game during Covid and threw their money and influence into the ring, and pushed, and pushed, with great enthusiasm. Happy to use fear to gain power, and also make... See more
‘ You mean, I can eat in a restaurant without wearing a mask, but when I stand up to go to the toilet, I have to put it back on again ...’ sounds good to me. Yes, for this is The Truth.
We can also have no statements such as that from Jacinda Adern, Prime Minister of New Zealand at the time. You may remember this.
“We will continue to be your single source of truth,” and that, “Unless you hear it from us, it is not the truth.” The Truth’.If that statement didn’t scare you, you were probably already dead.
In addition, if major medical journals, and their peer-reviewers, are unable pick-up research fraud. Then what, exactly, is the point of them. To quote Richard Horton again (sic) half of what is in them is may simply be untrue ... ‘ Which half, please. Oh, you don’t know. ’
Do I think all researchers are corrupt, and that all research is corrupt? No, of course not. However, if three quarters of medical researchers are using ‘ questionable research practices’ then the vast majority of research is, at best, untrustworthy. At worst, crumple, throw, bin.
You can run this thought experiment in another direction. Around fifty thousand people die in the UK every month. Most people die in hospital, and everyone admitted to hospital had a Covid-19 test on admission. Ergo, during the Covid-19 pandemic, many of them will have died within twenty-eight days of a false positive test.
Creating a test that misses the diagnosis (poor sensitivity) is bad. But creating a test with a high false positive rate (poor specificity) can be worse. Especially if, like me, you are trying to work out who did, and who did not, die of Covid-19.
Think upon that. Twenty-five million ‘cases’ in one year made up entirely by false positive tests. If the true figure was 5%, this number rises to very nearly seventy-five million. Yes, seventy-five million wrong Covid-19 diagnoses. Which is very close to the entire population of the United Kingdom.
In the month of January 2022 alone, ninety-one million tests were done in the UK. If false positives were running at 2% (it could well have been more), then we will have resulted in nearly two million Covid-19 diagnoses. In people who did not have the disease.
