You can take your experts and stick them where the sun don’t shine.
Covid is on the rise in England, and experts have warned that more must be done to prevent and control infections after a “capitulation to the virus”.
In the same way we have ‘capitulated’ to the common cold and seasonal flu. Because accepting that these bugs are here to stay and letting people self medicate when they get these mild infections is what the grown ups do.
Prof Danny Altmann, an immunologist at Imperial College London, said those working in the field were perplexed by the current attitude to the battle against Covid, as the latest figures showed an increase in hospital admissions.
Perplexed that his crying wolf no longer works.
“Clearly, there is behavioural polarisation between those who are worried by this and look for mitigation, and those who think we must learn live with it and paid too high a price for our earlier measures,” he said.
The latter being those of us who are scientifically and numerically literate and have a pragmatic, common sense approach to life. We are not running around perpetually scared by the lies and exaggerations of the ‘experts.’ I have no intention of starting, either. I have declined this year’s booster, having declined every attempt to get me jabbed. I’ve had it and got over it. It wasn’t pleasant, but neither is flu. It didn’t kill me and neither will flu.
While bookings for the NHS autumn Covid booster jabs opened this week, Altmann said they should be offered more widely, together with increased use of lateral flow testing to avoid the spread of Covid.
Yeah… Fuck off.
As soon as a tame “expert” is wheeled out those of us with a braincell know it’s bollox. GFG* is never 4king ending.
* Grandstanding for grants
I always just assume it’s made up bollox.
Experts, you say?
Names, qualifications, experience in whatever industry, sources of funding. Without those, I ain’t even going to start to listen. With them, I can make a judgement as to whether what they’re saying is likely to be sensible or funded propaganda.
Everyone I know who had Covid was vaccinated and had slavishly got every booster going…
“the latest figures showed an increase in hospital admissions”.
Spot the lie right there. I am willing to bet next months beer money that hospital admissions are going DOWN because … reasons and those doctors and nurses must rehearse their Tik Tok routines. No time to look after patients and the newspaper reports of people waiting for literally days in ER to be even seen, let alone admitted seem to support that.
I imagine Covid will wax and wane for ever – unfortunately there is nothing we can do about it, fortunately it does not matter that much
You are probably right. The grift has gone, but some people just can’t let go.
I’ve had two invitations by text for coof and flu jabs so far.
I’ve never had a flu jab, and for some reason my GP thinks its a great idea to offer me a coof jab when the AZ one nearly killed me 3 years ago. Fuck off.
Unbelievable fuss still being made of this when it is no more than a slightly worse than average cold. Jobs and money are clearly at stake.
The arms race that goes on between the immune system and the constantly changing cold and flu viruses is quite interesting. I can remember that, back when I was in my twenties and thirties, I would go through spells of getting every bloody cold bug that was going. At the age of 66, I assume that my immune system must be able to recognise millions of the tiny little buggers. I wonder if the possible combinations are infinite or if patterns reoccur and are then quickly shut down by the body’s defences? Looking back now, I think that I have had about three bouts of flu type affliction over about the last ten years. Colds that are just being bunged up and snotty, I don’t seem to get at all. Anecdotal with a sample size of one I know, but interesting none the less.
When are some of these ‘experts’ going to admit that the VAX has been massively harmful, and is an ongoing problem to many otherwise healthy people, who were foolish enough to believe their lies.

Indeed F O., Corona viruses cause a bad cold or possible ‘flu-like symptoms. They are mild respiratory viruses which is why I fell off my chair when I found out what was causing the pandemic. An utter joke!
