Let's rid ourselves of the idea that any of what has happened over the last 18 months has been about a public health issue. Had Governments and media not constantly told you that there was a deadly pandemic around, you'd never have noticed. In 1967/8, when a virus with a similar Infection Fatality Rate hit the world, people knew there was a bad flu about, but that was that. Yet through the absurd idea that our virus has some magical properties which means it can be transmitted by those who have no symptoms, a level of fear and hysteria was created that was inversely proportional to the actual threat from a virus with a 99.98% survival rate.
But what about the deaths? The first thing to say is that all-cause mortality in most countries was not out of the ordinary last year. In England, age standardised, all-cause mortality factoring in population growth was about the same as 2008. As for the deaths from/with Covid-19, not only was the way these were counted utterly misleading, something far more sinister occurred. Effective treatments, which could have prevented up to 85% of deaths, were deliberately suppressed and censored, whilst medicines such as Midazolam and Remdesivir, which can cause respiratory problems, were given to people with the Covid-pneumonia respiratory illness. Suppression of treatments and allocation of entirely the wrong medication are why the official Covid death numbers are so high.
