We have the richest nations in the world building bridges that fall down yet 2000 years ago with a world population of around 100mn, aqueducts were built that are still in use today. I'm pretty sure amongst our 8bn people there's enough smarts and ability ...
Or possibly some locals who decided to get involved as they have Ukrainian friends or relatives just across the border?
Locus. Do you even scan (never ...
A study completed in S.Africa (which supercedes the very early study that suggested the Covid vaccine may not be effective against Omicron), was published on 29 Dec 2021. This study compared 133,437 Omicron Covid positive PCR test results of fully ...
I what way do you imagine you have any reason to think you are more qualified to pass judgement than an actual Professor of Immunology? No, I am merely qualified to trust the authors of a report that was published in The Lancet in October two years ago, ...
That study you quoted is utter bunk. And you have some evidence to challenge the study's authors and reviewers? Who work in: Division of Genetics and Genomics, The Roslin Institute, Easter Bush, Midlothian, United Kingdom USDA, Agricultural Research ...
thanks joe90, a well-written story of the making of a domestic terrorist
The emotive outburst from Professor Qimron in his letter to the Israeli government reflects his invested opinions in having signed the Great Barrington Declaration. Read here for how this has been challenged Facts about the Barrington Declaration, and here...
Worldwide, children are dying from Covid Since 1 April 2020 in the USA alone (CDC official record of US deaths of children from COVID) 841 children have died from Covid and more than half a million children have needed medical care from long Covid 16,386,...
People arguing that civil liberties are threatened over the requirement to carry proof of vaccination is really bizarre overkill, given that we carry passports, drivers’ licences, and an array of credit and store cards which hold vastly more information ...
You think we can't spot what you are doing here? WHAT! Spell this out please. All I am saying is that Sweden did not get to where it is following a herd immunity strategy. This initial approach had to be modified. If there is anything that is "unsaid" in ...
My comment was to debunk this statement in 8.1.3 "Herd has worked out ok for Sweden thus far." I never stated that Sweden had lockdowns. I stated that Sweden had controls and recommendations in place throughout 2021, (some of these were similar to, and ...
In 2020, Sweden's state epidemiologist Anders Tegnell initially criticised mandatory measures like mask wearing in shops and occupancy limits in public indoor spaces favouring promotion of voluntary social distancing, mask wearing and other infection ...
No, that's not what Sweden has been doing for some time. They ditched the 'herd immunity let it rip' approach after logarithmic covid infection rates early last year. Their government restrictions and recommended controls have been similar but tougher in ...
Thank you KJT... spot on
Rather than "educated guesswork", and philosophical ramblings I'd prefer to trust expert explanations about false positives 50/100,000 for PCR tests https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7934325/ And https://www.bmj.com/content/373/bmj.n1411/rr
Ah yes, clearly my social development was stunted ... and possibly my views on the value of medical science .... because of the many, possibly a hundred vaccinations I was required to have growing up as a child in West Africa.
Thanks for these excellent links
Good grief, have you not seen what is happening in the rest of the world where they didn't put widespread mandates in place early enough!
Tily, kia kaha. I really hope that you are going to feel safe enough to go to work, and that your workplace focuses on all the known measures that reduce the risk of exposure to covid. I'm one of the fortunate 80% of NZers that is not disadvantaged by by ...
Thank you Matiri. You are right and supported by the vast majority. Bill, it is really basic... you are free to choose not to be vaccinated The vast majority of people know that covid vaccination reduces the risks of transmission hospitalization and death ...
Widely understood to be a considerable underestimate by around 80% This is framing and bullshit unless you can provide references
Thank you Christopher. I really hope that you will stay well and safe. I hope no covid positive person comes anywhere near you and that the unvaccinated behave with consideration and respect for the massive limitations that covid in the community would ...
It is difficult for antivaccers to understand how the post vaccination adverse events reporting to Medsafe works. So far there have been 2 deaths related to vaccine reactions which is awfully sad. Medsafe is absolutely open and transparent about this ...
Bill, you spit out the word authorities which imo sums up the driver for your entire commentary on this post and threads ... there are many thoughtful and intelligently presented arguments others have posed in response to your framing. I can only hope your...
Rosemary, your language and opinions are both littered with lies and deeply offensive and hostile to many who have seen how bravely our frontline workers have cared for and care for our vulnerable. I personally will no longer tolerate such damaging ...
Julian, suicides in NZ are down since Covid, life expectancy in NZ is up by 2 years. Vaccination is saving thousands from this dire disease that is hospitalising and killing.... mostly the unvaccinated.... worldwide The choice is to protect the vulnerable ...
https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/mortality So you now know a bit more Bill about mortality rates from covid... And to help understand how massively effective the covid vaccine is https://ourworldindata.org/covid-deaths-by-vaccination
Rosemary.. I don't think you read what lprent wrote under your first outpouring of opinions
More than 700 million Pfizer Covid19 vaccines administered worldwide. Death from Covid reduced from about 1% to 0.1%. This vaccine has saved hundreds of thousands of lives and has prevented the suffering of millions who have either lost loved ones or would...
Now if only the mainstream media also called out blatant lying, particularly on topics where those lies encourage some people to potentially make decisions that could be fatal for themselves or others
