CV and mad panic behaviour

[Thryleon]

There's a fair bit of 20/20 hindsight going on now, 3 Leos.

We must factor in that we were unprepared for a pandemic and in many instances, flying in the dark; learning as we go. Also important to remember that our health care system was also not set up properly for a pandemic so most strong reactions (re lockdowns) were also for over burdened health care workers/institutions - we simply had to limit infections to limit hospital admissions.

Wingman MAV and the Spotted One are absolutely correct re severity of Covid relative to vaccine or no vaccine. I know how I respond to seasonal flues, and when I got Covid (twice), and having been vaccinated, the symptoms though flu-like were markedly reduced.

Not really I suggested as much earlier in the piece and have acknowledged that we were unprepared for any of the pandemic but can see without a shadow of a doubt that many of the measures to contain the pandemic actually had greater and worse outcomes than letting it rip probably would have.  Thing is in medical circles they knew before everyone was vaxxed what the likelihood was for the majority.  A quick infection and thats it, some would cop it bad, most wouldn't even know they had it.

Remember I was in the health care system and left in January of last year.  I spoke to people who were responsible for the covid pathways and monitoring before they needed care. 

I caught covid God knows where and my symptoms were as bad as anyone could have had without needing medical treatment and all it took to control it was paracetamol to really control them.

People stating and over stating the severity of covid are not helping matters.  The cat is out of the bag, and I'll call a spade a spade, and an enlightened mind will entertain the idea that we made some errors.

We did what we thought was necessary, and the data should show a catastrophic number of unvaccinated covid deaths if even one iota of what is stated about the data is true.  Thing is most of them would have had multiple co morbidities.  For those who don't understand what that means something that would likely have killed them anyway.


Lots of what has been said here is an angle of the truth.  A bit like the solar vs nuclear debate.  Its all an angle rather than a known truth.

This last month in particular has seen the trains go back to full capacity and the roads well and truly out of control.  They've stopped counting numbers,  they've stopped testing without a GP referral, the data collection is over and the results are in.  The pandemic was a false alarm.

It would be political suicide to come out and put that point out there with the hyper inflation we are facing now.
