Game Over? COVID-19 The Great Hoax in History as Evidence Surfaces
2020-09-18
[Sky News Australia] Seven-minute video.
Posted by:Clem

#17  Second Clem.

The 7 minute video is worth watching. At no point is the WuFlu called a hoax, but the use of the WuFlu to justify heavy government.

I don't know anyone who got it in a mild or asymptomatic form.

I guess we wouldn't know a person asymptomatic. I have heard stories of mild. One local mild supposedly saying, "Its no fun, but no different than the crud going around last December."

To paraphrase what I just heard, "What we have is a governor relying on a university not known for its health background but well known for its political background making models to be used by politicians to justify policy."

#16  The virus is real. The response thereto leaves a bit to be desired.

#15  Two people I know have died from COVID-19.
Both under 50
Some hoax

#14  Well. 2 colleagues was down for less than 12 days--that's not terrible. 1 was down for 10 weeks. One of my daughters was down for 12 weeks. That's not lethal, but it's not exactly trivial either. And by "down" I mean at best they're in the "gets winded walking across the yard and has to lie down" state.

#13  Someday a dangerous virus will circulate. Governments and health care professionals will sound the alarm, and no one will listen because it was f&*ked up so badly this time.

#12  I know one friend who died of it, one who got quite ill but seems to be recovering, and whose brother remains critical. I don't know anyone who got it in a mild or asymptomatic form.

#9  To us it seems the Politicians and their talking head Medical stage props, ALL had private / Political agendas that did not remotely relate to the actual facts. Then they doubled and tripled down to on their erroneous actions by reciting facts in contradiction to their own previously cited facts and warnings.

and some just love doom & dire warnings and are control freaks. Know anybody like that here?

#8  Covid kills people on average older than the nations life expectancy....

There's very few people left for the governments mythical testing false positive generated second wave.

#7  Other facts, from CDC data:
1. 79% of the fatalities were retired (over 65).
2. 100K died from pneumonia without COVID, compared to 75k from pneumonia with COVID.

BTW - there are two vaccines for pneumonia, one for 13 and and another for 22 other causes of the disease. I've had both, and still had pneumonia twice in the last two years. Both cases were resolved within a few days with antibiotics.

#6  I haven't missed a beat, either. I know of only one person who got the virus, and she is a nurse at a nursing home in the Midwest. She lost her sense of taste & smell...fully recovered within days. That is it.

This scamdemic is disgusting beyond belief.

#5  Wife and I been out everyday except the 1 local staged and failed local BLM protest day, since Jan. 17th or about 240+ days.

We just treated this latest ScamDemic like we treated any Flu Season. No more No less. Just like we did for each of the 2 other National Election year Pandemics coming out of Asia.

We wore masks in Crowded Areas and half wore them in stores that had their Far Away Corporate written PC policies requiring them. (just like their employees do.)

RESULTS
* We had 4 family ages 24 to 67 get infected.
* ALL worked closely with infected persons over 120+ days before becoming infected themselves.
* ALL recovered in 2 to 3 days.
* All were barred from returning to work for 14 days.

To us it seems the Politicians and their talking head Medical stage props, ALL had private / Political agendas that did not remotely relate to the actual facts. Then they doubled and tripled down to on their erroneous actions by reciting facts in contradiction to their own previously cited facts and warnings.

NEXT SCAMDEMIC
Screw the Politicians and the Biden Minded Medical experts and the TV/Movie celebrities run to the mic sudden experts.

We will treat it like the seasonal Flu and take the same precautions and survive yet another year without their more wrong than right advice.

#4  @ #1 - Reminds me of Faux News the other night when they shut up Newt Gingrich just for mentioning Geo. Soros..."verboten".

#3  p.s. Not directly related, but - in reading about non-assortative learning - I came across a fact of, potentially, profound significance for French People. Turns out there is a species of marine snails that reach the weight of 15.9 kg [35 pounds]..

#2  COVID-19 The Great Hoax in History

Habituation is a form of non-associative learning in which an innate (non-reinforced) response to a [inconsequential] stimulus decreases after repeated or prolonged presentations of that stimulus.

#1  Dont worry, facebook and Twitter will censor it so people in the US will never see or hear anything contrary to what the WHO and their masters in the CCP want them to hear.
