This time from the Daily Mail editorial.
Most damning of all is the great unspoken truth: That the vast majority of critical Covid cases in hospital are unvaccinated.
Here we go again. As Mentioned elsewhere, covid patients amount to 5% of total hospital admissions. Whether they are the majority of those admission or not, the unvaccianted are a small proportion of hospital admissions – certainly less than 5%. So the Daily Mail can stick its propagandising where the sun don’t shine.
It is screamingly obvious the region with surging hospital admissions is London – where vast numbers wilfully refuse to roll up their sleeves. On this page, an intensive care consultant writes in graphic detail about his anger at their selfishness.
It is not selfish. No one should be pressured into a medical procedure without their informed consent. This is not selfishness it is basic ethics. Using an experimental procedure and coercing people to take it using bullying, threats and excluding and “othering” is definitely unethical. This whole editorial is an example of unethical behaviour – along with Welby’s risible comments mentioned elsewhere.
Life can no longer be held to ransom to safeguard those stubbornly shunning vaccination. It is a lesson the Prime Minister must learn quickly.
God, these people really are evil beyond words to describe. The answer is remarkably simple. No restrictions and allow each individual to make their own assessment of risks and to act accordingly and accept any consequences that arise. That’s how the grown ups do it.
Look at the comment whilst they are still up and allowed (prediction – they will block/hide these before too long). Universally telling the Mail to go **** themselves.
Its weird, I suspect the majority of those in London who are refusing the vaccines are non whites. People like the Archbishop and all the usual establishment bootlickers would NEVER dare to make derogatory comments about non-whites for anything else, yet for covid vaccines they are prepared to make an exception. Or at least just pretend that all the unvaccinated are white middle aged men, who can be safely slandered, and ignore all the non-whites who are equally against them.
One could make a very nice little trap for the wokists on this – there’s currently a big furore going on in NZ where a scientist has spoken out against teaching Maori creation myths as scientific fact in NZ schools. To which he has been called a racist, cancelled and threatened with expulsion from the NZ Royal College of Science (or some such scientific body). So presumably if Maori traditional ideas about how the world came into being and works is equal to ‘western science’ then any indigenous non-white group could declare that Vaccines were against their traditional scientific knowledge and values, and that would be as valid a stance as ‘Take all the vaccines, the science says so’. To say otherwise would be racist………
You’re absolutely right. A student of mine at 6th form college said to me ” I don’t see the need for science. Ancient peoples had their gods and magic and when they got sick, they prayed to their gods and got better. So what’s the need for science? “. She was black.
Another unreported aspect of London’s population is that many of them, especially the vast numbers of the ‘undocumented’, are not registered with any GP, therefore they always use the local A&E for all their medical issues, however trivial. This results in a permanent level of pressure which only needs a minor blip in demand to become critical.
If all NHS hospitals refused walk-in treatment to anyone not registered with a GP, then the A&E problem would evaporate immediately and, with it, the demand for lockdowns to ‘save the NHS’ – and so might lots of unwell ‘undocumenteds’ evaporate too. What’s not to like?
There was a recent item in The Daily Sceptic which suggested that the figures show that it is the vaccinated which form the majority, rather than the unvaccinated – https://dailysceptic.org/2021/12/22/no-the-nhs-is-not-being-overwhelmed-by-the-unvaccinated/
I just had a look. ALL the comments are shown as ‘0’ for and ‘0’ against. I.E. Hiding the voting.
Typical MSM
They’ve gone one further. They’ve deleted all the comments. Clearly didn’t like the message they were getting loud and clear.
There’s definitely something behind the current push for jabs. Could it be that the ‘elites’ are scared that the latest iteration of the virus is effectively harmless? that the ‘vaccines’ don’t do what they claim, or just that the batch they have is about to go out of date? Whatever, I won’t be having one under any circumstances!
Interesting window into the mentality of the bad guys in Brian’s link.
“In order to persuade a greater take-up of jabs, the Government wanted to bring in vaccine passports for certain settings but watered these down to include proof of a negative test, which rather defeats the object.”
The object being coercion evidently. Because, if the object was to prevent the spread of a virus then proof of a negative test would have greater value than proof of a vaccine.
“On this page, an intensive care consultant writes in graphic detail about his anger at their selfishness”
I saw that article in the print edition today, although I didn’t read more than the first sentence! I scrolled all the way through the Mail’s Home & “Health” pages a little while ago, but it was nowhere to be seen. I did, however, find it by Google searching. On reading down the comments it’s hardly surprising the Mail aren’t showing it openly. Apart from the usual trolls a large number are saying what I thought – why is this “expert” anonymous? There are lots of scientists, doctors and others who have openly put their heads above the parapet when questioning the “Official Consensus”, and all have suffered abuse & “cancellation”, yet continue to speak up. IF this NHS consultant is genuine, why isn’t he doing the same? At least he won’t have the Woke, Left brigade to worry about…
I’ve had 4 people amongst my good friends, all vaccinated, who just got covid or had it in the last 2 weeks…including 2 of were particularly following rules for the last 18 months.
I assume they will deal with their cognitive dissonance by pretending that without the jab, it would have been much worse. In the meantime, I find it all very funny.
I read a french government official study back in April 20 which said that covid would get everybody eventually (that was susceptible to it) and all that the various measures accomplished was lengthening the time it would take. Looks like they were right on the money.
Yup. I’ve had a couple of people say that. However, given that they also know people who got it before the vaccine rollout and the symptoms were pretty much the same, the logic seems to bypass them.
“…all that the various measures accomplished was lengthening the time it would take.”
That was my thought when the whole thing kicked off nearly two years ago. Obviously I have little expertise and had no data to go on, but I had heard of other flu like viruses that had plagued people in the past. My, admittedly limited, understanding was that these bugs spread through the population and then slowly recede as more and more people develop a sufficient level of immunity. Logically this can only happen if people are exposed to it. Vaccines would have made a difference if they actually worked.
