Listen now
Description
We review Ivor Cummins and Mike Yeadon's data presentations and interpretations which almost conclusively via observational data show that corona virus had its peak and was on the way out BEOFRE the first lockdown and is now part of the flora and fauna with almost certain herd immunity. Young people cannot be causing any kind of a peak now because young would always have been the ones least likely to isolate so would have been over represented in the first wave. Current community testing shows this. There is equal prevalence across all age ranges. Low community antibody titres simply mean there is not enough virus around to stimulate an antibody response rather than short lived immunity which itself is mainly T cell Mediated. It is accepted that about 50% of the population were already immune due to cross reactivity with the other corona virus strains which after all includes the common cold. The PCR test is not suitable for industrial scale testing as it is too delicate and liable to false positives. The recent rise in cases is no more than seasonal rise in respiratory viruses. There have been much bigger spikes in the last 30 years and nobody batted an eyelid. This is because corona virus is a fact of life not a reason to stop life. The WHO have never recommended quarantine once a virus is in the general population and lockdown is something that has never even been considered. Why then are politicians and SAGE getting things so catastrophically wrong and directly and indirectly causing the suffering and deaths of millions of people through the deprivation of liberty and livelihood? The answer is self interest and compliance with media driven hysteria combined with the fact that the general people do not as is commonly claimed have common sense. They are sheep led by fear and fear seeks structure. We introduce the concept of cognitive dissonance i.e. two conflicting ideas in the same individual and how they deal with it by making excuses, avoiding responsibility and confirmation bias. We also discuss how doing what one feels is right is a rare luxury in a society where appearing to fit in and the guarding of ones digital reputation is central to continued functioning in todays society. Yet. Research is clear that economic catastrophe increases the life span of a nation. How can this be when we know millions will die? The answer is that modern life is more toxic than economic catastrophe. Stress is the biggest killer in the world today directly and indirectly. Depression was the 5th comments cause of illness and death 20 years ago and now it is the commonest. The Royal College of Psychiatrists Defeat Depression Campaign although a bulls eye in identifying an urgent need missed the root cause. It is not clinical depression people suffer from today . It is unhappiness. What is to come of us? We will reveal more in our next podcast. Should one cuddle grandparents at Christmas? Do SAGE and politicians understand the real values of family and society? We say ask the grandparents.
