    I think you folks really ought to lighten up on Covid. Horrible problem. But I love my older rellies and they are running scared. Even some of the young ones with bad lungs.

    Never ascribe to malice that which is more reasonably explained by incompetence.

    Personally at 66 and reasonably fit and slim and eating me Nuts, I fancy my chances. What we are doing in the UK is just hanging on for the Vaccine. 6 months of boredom and it'll all be Happy Days again.

    I've been thrown onto the dispiriting Dole often enough. I just asked myself what I could do with no money. And lots of time. Tidied up the Flat. Got Peggy Lee Jazz records from the Library. Read the Russians. Cleaned the windows. Made lots of friends who were similarly struggling.

    Adapt. This is nothing.

    I think its time for a reality check at this point, i don't think anyone who is currently contributing to this thread including myself is saying that people aren't getting ill, [i have already experienced the affects of this illness, and its taken me month's to recover] what some of us are disputing is the reason given behind the illness, and thus the drastic measures taken in response to it.
    From my point of view, if something doesent fit right with your current understanding, go do your own research, you may find yourself reading stuff that makes you uncomfortable at times, but it can also lead you to places that open your mind to new realities.
    All knowledge is good!

    Lanka, however, did not want to pay, the case went to court. At first instance, the District Court ordered Ravensburg Lanka to transfer the sum. It was a "seriously meant binding reward promise," according to section 657 of the Civil Code. The anti-vaccination campaigner then called the next instance - the Higher Regional Court of Stuttgart.

    She agreed with the anti-vaccination campaigner, for formal reasons. The promoter had wished for a single piece of evidence, but the applicant had provided several publications which provided evidence only in sum. Therefore, "the vocation is essentially granted."



    However, this is by no means to be understood as confirmation of Lanka's theories, the court said: it is by no means "believed that a measles virus does not exist." And addressed to the members of the press present, the presiding judge said: "Watch out with your headlines."

    Point accepted, however the Regional Court desision, and the reasoning behind it is still worth noting!

    Marco.
    What does your dark web tell you regarding the mortality rate of people who have had their flu vaccinations? If that was happening in significant numbers surely someone would be saying "Hang on, these people had their jab, so this vaccine is shit".

    I'm not sure that matters, as the fact is a very high and significant number of people (as quoted) die every year from flu, many of whom one would presume had the flu jab, as if you're vulnerable to having a bad reaction to flu, you're going to want to be inoculated against it.

    Yet despite that, they still die... Therefore, as I've said, that suggests that the flu vaccine isn't anywhere near 100% effective (I believe instead around 60/70%), and that's been around and 'refined' for many years, so why would vaccines for Covid, only just released, be likely any more effective?

    Also, indeed as I've already asked you, why considering how many people die from flu every year (and have done for many DECADES before Covid arrived), has there never been as much 'hoo-hah'/mass widespread disruption on all levels, created around tackling that, as there has been with Covid, especially when vaccines clearly aren't a 'magic bullet'?

    I would appreciate you giving an answer to that

Is the 30,000 deaths from flu not just as important a statistic to warrant similar action, in terms of prevention of its spread, as we're seeing now with Covid?

    And your point about the potentially greater number of deaths there could've been from Covid, without lockdowns, is only valid if you believe that the current death figures are accurate, and not being deliberately inflated for effect - and there is credible evidence of that around if you care to look.

    Plus, like I said, where are the death stats for all the people who've committed suicide from the effect of lockdowns and loss of jobs/income, plus those from folks who couldn't get cancer or other vital treatments? Don't they count either - or is that just seen as 'collateral damage'??

    Marco.
    You don't seem to be getting the importance of vaccination - Lockdown measures for flu are probably deemed unnecessary as the vaccine is keeping mortalities to manageable levels. We don't have that yet for Covid, don't have anything really.

    As I've said before, the lockdown is doing my head in, and is bad for so many people in so many ways, so roll on vaccine. But don't fret too much about it, me and many others will 'take one for the team' and put our faith in the efficacy and safety of whatever vaccine makes it past the post. Then we can all go back to our lives bickering about Brexit including those who would prefer to leave the 'risk taking' to others

    One more thing: If the death figures are being inflated 'for effect', what is the effect 'they' are striving for? Fear of going out to work? Compliance with the 'don't go to work' directives? Economic collapse can't be good for anyone, unless there's a theory covering that...

    How so?? With up to around 30,000 people a year still dying! How do you know how many of them had the flu jab or not?
