Today is Valentine’s Day, when, according to current social mores, every single one of us should now celebrate romantic relationships of all shapes, sizes and smells, not just traditional heterosexual ones – or else.
One particularly disturbing contemporary restriction upon free speech is the growing demand from queer activists across the West to make alleged insults like ‘misgendering’ a crime. Which rainbow group will be next to seek protection from ‘dangerous words’ beneath the all-sheltering legislative umbrella? How about the ‘objectum sexuals’, or OSes, that exceedingly strange group of individuals (many of whom are autistic), who fall in love with inanimate objects such as fairground rides, leisure centres, cars and flagpoles? Should it be henceforth verboten to say anything negative about them, too, even though some quite genuinely labour under the severe delusion that their chosen objects of desire are secretly alive, and so able to communicate with them telepathically?
This Valentine’s Day, this particular sub-set of ‘psychic’ objectums will doubtless be buying their lovers cards, flowers and chocolates and, to be frank, shoving their plastic, metallic or wooden extremities bodily inside themselves. Should it really be prohibited to laugh at such truly Pythonesque scenes in print?
Swinging From the Chandeliers
In 2019 a Leeds woman with the rather ironic name of Amanda Liberty (the former consort of the Statue of Liberty, apparently) took objection to a humorous article in the Sun implying she was mad due to having lately hooked up with an antique lesbian German chandelier named Lumiere, whom she now aimed to marry. The article was a spoof ‘Nutter of the Year’ type award by columnist Jane Moore, the clear winner being Amanda. Moore’s very short entry on Amanda read as follows:
Winner: Amanda Liberty, from Leeds, who, thanks to being an ‘objectum sexual’ (nope, me neither) married a chandelier-style light fitting. Dim & Dimmer?
As there were numerous comical elements to Amanda’s full story – her first boyfriend was a drum-kit, it was “the shape of her arms” that made Luimiere so attractive to Amanda, and the happy couple were in an open relationship with other similarly swinging chandeliers – the Sun naturally made fun of the situation. Highly offended, Ms. Liberty registered an official complaint with Ipso, the voluntary U.K. press regulator, arguing the tabloid had breached Clause 12 of Ipso’s code of conduct, which reads thus:
The press must avoid prejudicial or pejorative reference to an individual’s race, colour, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation or to any physical or mental illness or disability.
It was not the final part about discriminating against someone on account of his or her “mental illness” that Amanda objected to, because in Amanda’s opinion she is not mentally ill at all. There is certainly no suggestion she has ever been medically diagnosed as such. Instead, it was the specific element of the code banning discrimination upon grounds of “sexual orientation” Amanda was filing her complaint under, arguing that newspapers would no longer be allowed to print pieces mocking or abusing someone just for being gay or lesbian, so why should they be allowed to run articles publicly disparaging someone just because they were an objectum sexual?
In 2020 Ipso ruled against Amanda’s grievance, on the grounds that, under the Equality Act 2010, a person’s “sexual orientation” is specifically defined within U.K. law only as including “their sexual orientation towards other persons and not to objects”. In consequence, Ipso concluded, “the complainant’s attraction to an object did not fall within the definition of sexual orientation as provided by Clause 12 and [so] the terms of Clause 12 were not engaged”.
So, for the moment, writers are still allowed to make fun of objectum sexuals in print within the U.K.: if they aren’t, I am heading immediately to prison. But then, up until about yesterday, the press was still allowed to make fun of homosexuals and transsexuals in a similar fashion too. Remember the Sun’s classic 1980s front-page ‘EASTBENDERS!’ headline, about some new gay characters being introduced into the soap? They couldn’t do that now.
Doctor Strangelove
One specific sub-species of objectums are the consolums, in love with videogame consoles; I previously wrote about a young American lady who married the videogame Tetris here. The consolums’ own tribal queer-flag is multicoloured, representing the familiar livery-colours of the market’s three main current players: red for Nintendo, green for X-Box and blue for Sony PlayStation. There’s also a nice, poofy bit of pink in there to represent all those smaller, more cultish, now-defunct former marketplace competitors, such as Sega, Atari, Commodore and Hudson-Soft. Well, these people are certainly on some kind of ZX Spectrum. But should we take this joke literally?
Just like OSism, transgenderism also has proven links towards autism, and we all know how much that particular cross-dressing personality disorder is being pushed by politically motivated activists these days. Might something similar be about to occur with OS individuals? I have detailed elsewhere how objectums have recently begun marshalling their forces online in order to gain wider social – and ultimately legal – recognition for themselves by aping the prior tactics of the LGBT lobby by creating their own lingo, flags and pressure groups. Another key plank in any such campaign would be to accumulate sympathetic outside advocates from fields like academia, medicine and the media.
The leading such advocate of objectums today is perhaps Amy Marsh, a U.S. sexologist and author whose website describes her as “Supporting Your Sexual Human Rights and Quest For Pleasure”. According to her own online blurb:
Dr. Marsh is a clinical sexologist, AASECT-certified sexuality counsellor, certified hypnotist and hypnosis instructor who has worked in the field of human sexuality since 2008. Personally, Dr. Marsh prefers to be known as ‘Avnas’, zir chosen name. Ze identifies as a nonbinary femme. Dr. Marsh’s private practice is eclectic: combining sexuality counselling with hypnosis, guided imagery, adult sex education, sand tray play and attention to social justice activism and community wellness. Though online only, Dr. Marsh’s ‘office’ is a ‘no-shame zone’. … As a sexologist, Dr. Marsh has special interests in erotic hypnosis, spectro-sexuality [i.e., having sex with ghosts], objectum sexuality, LGBTQIA++ rights, ‘sacred sexualities’ and more.
Marsh is also the creator of the patented ‘Marsh Spectrum of Human/Object Intimacy©’, and in 2010 published the first major notable research paper into the subject, ‘Love Among the Objectum Sexuals’, in the Electronic Journal of Human Sexuality. Interviewing a sample population of OSes online, Marsh also found clear links to autism amongst OS individuals, but appeared to feel possessing such traits was not a form of pathology at all, just some alternative form of sexual orientation, like being gay or trans – the same line as pursued by Amanda Liberty. (Interestingly, one of Marsh’s research participants also claimed to be in psychic communication with the Statue of Liberty and her “amazing personality” – was this Amanda herself, I wonder?)
According to Marsh, only 23.8% of her sample OS participants were heterosexual, the precise same number as those who were bisexual or pansexual. Furthermore, a majority, 57.1%, had fancied objects since childhood, revealing a clear path towards the sympathetic ‘born this way’ narrative which has been so successfully employed by homosexuals over recent decades. Nobody non-evil would be so cruel as to lampoon someone for being born blind or deaf, so why should it be acceptable to mock someone for being born gay, trans or objectum sexual, it might be asked?
Throughout, Marsh seems to imply disapproval of OS relationships is a damaging conservative social prejudice which ought to be discouraged, colluding in her sample participants’ fantasies to such an extent that, in places, she redacts the ‘names’ of the individual inanimate objects acknowledged as lovers in order to protect their identity!
No Laughing Matter
The implication of Marsh’s sympathetic assessment is that you shouldn’t, under any conceivable circumstances, ever laugh at these people. Yet it is often very difficult not to do so, as anyone who has ever seen the notorious Channel Five OS documentary series, Strangelove, will know full well. Perhaps knowing this, Marsh therefore complains of “a glut of media coverage but a dearth of intelligent inquiry” into such folk, with shows like Strangelove and the “irresponsible actions of journalists” only leading to “a torrent of abusive and insulting comments” aimed against objectums on social media.
I don’t think you should specifically go out of your way to hound OS people online myself, but nor should you be pressurised into holding your tongue about your likely true opinions about them either. And, let’s be honest, your likely true opinion about them is probably: “Ha ha ha, what a bunch of weirdos!”
Marsh’s study contains undeniably amusing tales such as someone seducing a building’s caretaker only in order thereby to get closer to the boiler (or some similar large item) he maintained, a transgender male kicked out from his local church after falling in love with its organ because the priest claimed “I had the soundboard in my heart, and not Jesus”, and an objectum who complains that, as “my lover lives in a museum”, there is very little privacy available for their sexual encounters, because “there are always a lot of other people around, which makes things rather difficult”.
Another OSer describes how he loves buttons so much he sews them onto special straps to wrap around his genitals during masturbation. Yet some objectums would deny such actions even are masturbation at all, as the objects being used for pleasure are in fact alive and thus wholly willing conscious partners in the affair. “I have never masturbated as I see it,” one interviewee explained. Shades of Woody Allen’s old “Masturbation is sex with someone I love!” line from Annie Hall.
Yet you don’t need the wit of Woody to be able to make jokes about such people. The jokes literally just write themselves: but, to Marsh, this is very much the problem. Laughter is morally wrong.
Are They an Item?
Rather than laughing at them, there is a constant undertone in Marsh’s paper that the reader should feel sorry for these people, as suffering similar social prejudice to that once encountered by persecuted homosexuals like Alan Turing or Oscar Wilde during decades gone by. Throughout, they are made to sound like they have been forced into isolation and despair by the anti-objectum bigotry of those appalling cishetero normies who surround and oppress them.
One interviewee is allowed to bemoan how she fell in love with her own chosen item very much through desperation, as it was the only one then available to her: “I hadn’t had any other opportunities to meet other objects at that time as I was living a very secluded life.” How secluded would your life have to be for it not to include any actual objects in it? Where was she living, inside a black hole? Another objectum is allowed to lament plaintively how “human intolerance and discrimination” has made it impossible for him or her to engage in successful long-term relationships with chosen objects, essentially forcing the poor person into a series of one-night stands, very possibly with a series of night-stands.
Other bitter objectums complain of “intolerant humans trying to destroy my personality”, of how other people should be “more open-minded and not view OS as a MENTAL problem”, or of how it would be “nice if we had the right to be able to have some sort of civil ceremony so we can be free to express our love for our partners in the same way as anyone else would”. The militant gay lobby once started off making reasonable-sounding requests like that, too…
Some Real Object Lessons
The conclusion of Marsh’s investigation, ‘What do objectums want the world to know?’ is every bit as partisan as its title suggests:
People who identify as objectum sexuals are part of a sexual minority which also contends with additional challenges such as a high incidence of autism and Asperger’s Syndrome within its ranks. Though it is rare, objectum sexuality has attracted a great deal of notoriety, controversy and ridicule. Individual members are not always well equipped to deal with public scorn and exploitation… Almost all of the objectum sexuals surveyed expressed satisfaction with their orientation to objects… For most OS people, unhappiness and stress comes from lack of understanding and human interference with their object relationships. Many OS people are unhappy about their lack of proximity and access to object lovers, particularly those which are public structures. And for an OS person, destruction of a beloved object, such as the Berlin Wall, is devastating.
Vladimir Putin isn’t the only one to regret the end of the Cold War, then.
Such words have distinct echoes of that strand of emotional blackmail often tried by contemporary trans activists to the effect that, even if just made in jest, negative words have consequences and will inevitably end up pushing certain reputedly ‘vulnerable’ trans individuals – particularly children – towards suicide. So, should such ‘hateful rhetoric’ about objectums really still be allowed?
Marsh cites one objectum thus: “All feelings should be accepted and respected, no matter whom or what they are for.” I’m sorry, but I find it impossible to “respect your feelings” if your feelings are for a cement-mixer. Why should I therefore be compelled to pretend that I do so in print?
I do not wish to claim there is a massive campaign out there to make criticism or mockery of objectums illegal – as far as I know, the only OSer who has ever tried to do something similar is Lady ‘Liberty’ herself, the Leeds-based lover of chandeliers. The prospect of laws successfully being passed specifically to prevent you calling a pavement-pounder a pervert or a lamppost-lover a loony seem remote at present – but I would have said precisely the same thing about the idea of quasi-official prohibitions being placed upon the ridicule of moustachioed men in dresses swanning around pretending to be women as recently as 10 short years ago, too, and look at where we are now.
Although I don’t think they should be persecuted, neither do I think objectums should be celebrated or empowered, let alone be transformed into a legally protected species. I don’t care what their champions like Amy Marsh say, I think objectum sexuals are a complete joke. Why the hell, therefore, shouldn’t I be able to make jokes about them?
Readers who want to delve further into the weird world of the objectum sexuals can try looking up another related Valentine’s Day article of mine on the Mercator website.

End of Life Care for Patients with COVID-19
…
The following advice relates to patients being managed OUTSIDE OF CRITICAL CARE [emphasis in original] and who are thought likely to die in the coming hours or days despite all previous or ongoing best efforts.
…
There are reports that some patients dying from COVID-19 suffer a significant degree of delirium or agitation which may be difficult to manage.
…
Patients, families and sometimes colleagues will need support and reassurance that the use of drugs for symptom control is to ensure comfort and NOT to speed up the process of dying.
…
Drugs for comforat [sic] at the end of life include the following: Benzodiazepines – Midazolam, lorazepam – [uses:] Fear, anxiety and agitation
…
Deliberately there are no maximum doses per 24 hours stated for the drugs below.
…
Benzodiazepines = FIRST LINE for anxiety, fear and agitation
Midazolam – suggest start with low doses for patients naïve to this drug but be prepared if response is poor or short lived and anxiety is severe to escalate dosing sharply.
Generally: Start with 2.5 mg SC or IV
If patient is particularly frail: use 1.25mg
If extremely distressed or show tolerance to this group of drugs: may require higher doses e.g. 5 -10 mg
…
For patients not responding to midazolam – this might be because doses have been too low or not frequent enough. Some patients might need much higher doses than normal.

Ha – just commented about this on the previous article. The old chestnut regarding with or of covid. In March 2020 in discussion with a colleague we discussed how significant infection was in end of life care, leading to death. Be it bacterial or viral, it is in my experience very common. Infections that cause few issues to the healthy can be lethal to to the frail. Imagine what the picture would look like if all such infections were tracked like covid. I have sat with many people in their last moments, family and friends. Part of the cycle of life, but something oft forgotten. A destiny for many of us.
There has been a crackdown on the profanities, but why are the antifanities getting a free ride?

Yes, and you wait for a buse for ages and then three come along at once.

It’s quite put me off using my favourite Chaucer quotations on this website.
I’ve no idea how such a potty-mouth acquired such admiration.
No offence to the Good Doctor Livermore, but we’ve all been saying this since March 2020. I don’t even have a degree :/
Indeed. When you remove all the checks and balances, the data become meaningless. (But still useful if you aim to terrorise the populace.)
I think, like a few people posting to this website and clincians/scientists going on national TV, they feel less threatened by Big Tech and their colleagues by expressing their long-held but private scepticism / doubts over what has been going on and policy in general as regards the COVID response.
Whilst I can fully understand them being silent – as their careers and livelihoods may well have been on the line*, I suspect a good number have pretended to be on the authoritarian side – passively – by ‘liking’ the comments, tweets etc from Fauciists and doing the opposite for many of us who were arguing the opposite back in 2020.
* being a scientist or clinician isn’t the great eerience the media likes to portray – in my experience dealing with them as an engineer over the years on project work, they can be just as egocentric and nasty as entertainers and politicians, thus why some stay silent in order to not be ‘cancelled’.
Unfortunately that means MANY VERY BAD things often go unreported or what in reality is no where near a ‘consensus’ of opinion or actual fact is portrayed as such.
Note that as the debate (and as facts emerge) swings our way on COVID, some are already changing their tune to suit which way the winds are blowing, though some, it appears, are still attacking the sceptic side from a ‘middle ground’ position because they are as yet unsure whether our side will end up the winners.
I don’t even have a degree :/
Which, of course, does not stop you being both intelligent and well-informed….
A degree is essentially a social mark of acceptance. When societies are fair, truthful and accurate, this mark is worth something.
At the moment, holding a degree conveys negative esteem in my view – even degrees in topics which are dispassionately apolitical, such as Mathematics.
It was said very much tongue in cheek, but yes, I agree
While this article is interesting and informative, right from the title onwards, it does sound like a case for the defence.
There must be accountability here. From a propagandised headline of 156,924 deaths with a positive covid test to 18,939 deaths of covid without a pre-existing condition to 6,183 deaths with only covid on the death certificate, we have a 25x multiplier. (ONS data up to 31 December 2021).
This is unacceptable and not due to ‘being difficult to count’.
I agree , dancing on a pin head. The State killed old people in April 2020. Mainly through imbecilic diktats brainlessly followed by ‘health and care’ workers.
‘Hancock the Terminator’… coming soon to a cinema near you.
If you believe such a thing as Covid 19 even existed.. this FOI request is a long way from 130/50,000
ENGLAND WALES (alleged) COVID DEATHS
COVID-19 deaths and autopsies Feb 2020 to Dec 2021
Release date:17 January 2022
TOTAL : 6182
https://www.ons.gov.uk/aboutus/transparencyandgovernance/freedomofinformationfoi/covid19deathsandautopsiesfeb2020todec2021
Seeing as on average 1,400/500 die every day in the UK, around 500,000 a year.. 6,182 over 22 months is totally insignificant. And yet our personal freedoms and economy have been nigh on destroyed for this supposed killer disease..!!!!
Which is why the Government and their scientific advisors will fight tooth and nail to avoid the truth coming out.
On top of this, the WHO is still operating in maximally hysteric mode: Infections are rising again! The worst is yet to come!!, something they’ve bee continuously claiming since 2020 and need to keep claiming because – minus the policy response to COVID – nothing particularly bad has happened because of it so far.
The one policy decision of Donald Trump I completely agree with was to stop sending money to this gremium of experts in freaking out because of everyday occurrences and then, throwing the baby away as precautionary measure while keeping the bathwater.
Yes, this is the figure that I refer to, together with the 18,939 without pre-existing conditions here. They really benefit from a closer look from different angles. The numbers are mind boggling!
Quite. Succinctly put too, I hasten to add.
Somebody the other day was banging on about Covid killing 6 million people over the past 2 years, didn’t say of or with but 6 million dead. However, to put some perspective on the situation 9 million a year starve to death, so 18 million over the past 2 years.
Given the results of the Covid measures, now followed by the food, energy and other problems, the abandonment or delay of curative or preventative treatments against “normal” diseases in many countries, etc., and let alone any consequences of the Covid “vaccines”, I think the casualty lists will be enormous. I see nothing that will make them go down, only a multitude that will make them increase.
Hancock, Whitty, Vallance, I look forward to the day you are made to explain, under oath, the reasons for your actions and advice.
They just need to say, to keep people SAFE, and everyone melts.
Yes, for the greater good, obviously…
I think your only hope of ‘justice’ is via a strong belief in karma. Life will sort them out. I’ve got more chance of becoming Pope than you have of seeing them brought to book, unfortunately.
For that we would need an independent judicial system and independent judiciary.

Not really and not as thing stand. But circumstances can change and it does happen when the time is right… We are approaching that point.

Spoil sport. I was hoping to see them on the rack.
‘And it wasn’t hard to agree that HIV was the underlying killer to count even when AIDS patients succumbed to unusual fungi and cancers.’
Sorry, what now? That is quite the pivot there, from ebola. Not hard to agree? Why, because your entire professional reputation depended on going along with it? Or because there was clear scientific peer-reviewed evidence that patients who succumbed to unusual fungi and cancers did so because their killer was HIV? If it’s the latter, as I assume from the sound of spluttering I’m hearing, then it shouldn’t be hard, as you put it, to point to the paper which established that fact. Can we have the citation please? Errr no, we can’t, because no such paper exists.
I think it’s time for Daily Sceptic to change its masthead. Clearly it is no longer tenable to proclaim that this is a site that encourages the reader to ‘Question everything’. It should now have an asterix after the ‘everything’, then down the bottom, in tiny letters, ‘except the viral theory of disease, including the notion that HIV is the cause of AIDS’. Sure, question everything else, but don’t be questioning these sacred cows. That would be beyond the pale.
Anyway, more of these great experts coming out now with brainy explanations of how to close the stable gate, with the horses long gone, galloped over the horizon. I guess it’s safe to be brave now. The cancel culture caravan has moved on to slamming anyone not collecting money for Ukraine or changing their social media profile to the blue and yellow..
It should now have an asterix after the ‘everything’, then down the bottom, in tiny letters, ‘except the viral theory of disease, including the notion that HIV is the cause of AIDS’.
It might be interesting to consider all the theories which are nowadays unable to be questioned because to do so would result in professional suicide.
Gravity*, Evolution, Climate Change, Smoking as a cause of Cancer, the Linear no-threshold model of radiation damage…
*the commonly accepted model of Gravity HAS, in fact, been shown to be wrong, but it has been used so often to smear free thinkers that it we allow double-think between technical and lay persons.
Well in order to question, you have to have something to question. By publishing such articles it gives us an opportunity to question and comment, which you have.
The modus operandi of the MSM and Social Media Thugs is to publish only approved articles.
Do you want DS to be like that, so we live in our self-constructed echo chamber?
Switched on to BBC, by mistake, still pumping out the message that ICU are full of unvaccinated. Do not believe that, still doing the Nudge Units job when they admitted deliberately terrifying people, disgraceful.
Ditto, all MSM, IE:ITV,C4,SKY ETC.
ALL BLEEDIN LIARS!!!
Right from the start it would have been possible to split covid deaths (and hospitalisations) into three groups:
The other thing they could have done is had the attending medic estimate the deceased ‘quality adjusted life years lost’ — this would have indicated the seriousness of the covid pandemic to society.
They did neither of these things, resulting in two enormous problems:
Differential diagnosis by clinical history, symptoms, test for antibodies if a particular pathogen is suspected.
But The Science™️ replaced long established medical good practice in the pursuit of political objectives.
The other way of looking at this death issue is to stop and consider, when all this lockdown madness ended and things opened up again, everybody seemed to still be here! the same people at the swimming pool, in the pub and turning up at village hall events. I find it hard to find anybody who is no longer around, anecdotal I know but if this had been the black death we would have noticed swathes of our friends and acquaintances having disappeared. The fact that we are having to do in depth studies on deaths to try and get some figures indicates to me that overall this has not been a major death event. Indeed looking at ONS total registered death figures apart from a few months in 2020/21 there has been nothing untoward about deaths.
The major issue with deaths is with increased deaths in the under 60s and possible vaccine links
The Covidaholics always seem to know someone who knows someone who is related to… (almost ad infinitum) who might just have died from something attributable to a seasonal pathogen. They use that tactic whenever they feel an attack of logic and rational behaviour approaching.
Hold Them Accountable.

This is worth a look.
Dr Cowan discussing a peer reviewed study published in the Lancet where they acknowledge that the PCR tests used for sars-cov-2 were not actually testing for a any new virus but were in reality testing for known human proteins.
The whole thing has been a massive scam from start to finish.
From 32:50
Scientific Trickery?! Evidence For Pathogenic Sars-CoV-2 Virus Almost Totally Lacking?https://odysee.com/@TimTruth:b/Virology-on-Trial-part-7:1
AFAIK most PCR tests screen for ORF1ab, N gene, S gene, RdRp gene or E genes. And these are not novel or exclusive to Sars-Cov-2?
E genes are supposedly not specific to SARS-COv-2.
N genes were pointed out as unreliable in Christian Drostens original application for the Covid test protocol in Eurosurveillance.
RdRp genes are apparently insensitive and dimerize to other molecules.
Bullshit baffles brains, as the medical ‘opressors’ in this situation know all too well as they ‘weaponise their privilege’ (h/t millennials). Unfortunately most of us are left lacking in this particular regard, however it always amused me that in the West the Gold Standard test results for this dreadfully dangerous pathogen were not provided to patients? No information is provided, no Ct, no test kit, reagents or primers, no genes. You simply must take a test for the deadly deadly oh so deadly mystery lurgy, but you’ll only get a smiley face or a sad face in reply. Its all very technical you see.
So we don’t actually know the granny-count?
From January through to end of March 2020 and then the rest of the past wretched two years, did anyone other than me note the astonishing absence of terminally sick people all around them – family, friends, neighbours, work colleagues – struck down by this ‘dangerous, serious, deadly, fast-spreading, killer’ virus – no cries in the street, ‘Bring out your grannies’, no convoys of hearses carrying away the dead to the plague pits?
The thing that truly has shocked me – I do mean shock – is just how many stupid people there are in the populations of our ‘advanced’ Countries. And even now the same fools are going ga-ga over Ukraine determined to do themselves more economic self-harm, because,,, reasons.
I thought the strangle hold of the MSM over the minds of the population was failing due to the rise of alt media, turns out the vast majority still believe what the BBC (transgender) man tells them.
“cries in the street, ‘Bring out your grannies’”
Some days you could hardly get out the front door for the bodies piled several feet high.
Having recently nursed MOH through serious illness caused by covid, I doubt that most care home residents would or could have received the same and necessary level of care. The homes simply wouldn’t have had sufficient numbers of staff.
Having said that, my elderly mother, who has Alzheimer’s, tested positive for covid back in January 2020. She was a little unwell, and lethargic for a few days. That was all. She recovered ok.
MOH, 20 years younger, was seriously ill and admitted to hospital for a week. I also had covid and recovered after a week(ish).
it’s a highly variable virus.
Are you certain it was Covid, and not, for instance, flu or RSV (which has almost identical symptoms)?
The miscounting is clear, with only heinous intention.
You don’t need to add narrative-friendly nods to ensure publication anymore Professor, like suggesting Coivd-19 care home deaths have been underreported. Unless you’re angling for a role at The Economist’s bad-faith extrapolation unit.
Anyone who has completed a death certificate in the elderly is aware that ultimate ‘ Cause of death ‘ is impossible to know. The large numbers of recorded deaths in the 70+ with no comorbidies is a myth. Most medical records and prescriptions in this group are vast. The question we must ask is why the misinformation? I venture that if you put Covid19 on the certificate you were never challenged and if the patient had a positive PCR you had the proof. Why risk putting a more complex explanation? Virtually no PMs in this period!
According to the ONS: “COVID-19 deaths are those deaths registered in England and Wales in the stated week where COVID-19 was mentioned on the death certificate. A doctor can certify the involvement of COVID-19 based on symptoms and clinical findings – a positive test result is not required.” Just one person’s opinion – no specific test is required to prove it at all.
Dr. John Ioannidis declared the infection fatality rate right at the beginning of the scamdemic. Nothing has changed. Perhaps with early treatment with repurposed drugs we now know work, those numbers will be reduced. What exactly are we waiting for?
If it’s THAT difficult – then why not look at the number of burials/cremations nation-wide in 2020/21 and compare that figure with the average from the past five years? Then assume if there’s an increase it was due to SARS of some kind.
Is it possible that part at least of the reason for less infection in the unvaccinated is that they have already had undiagnosed Covid in a mild form which ha given them greater natural immunity than that given by the vaccine? Is it time for goverments to admit that the vaccine doesn’t work long enough to be worth the cost and stop paying billions to the Pharma companies. Is there a way of transferring natural immunity between people? Would that be better than the vaccines?
“In the UK, 458 000 people live in care home settings in which 103 000 deaths occurred in England and Wales in 2012 (20.7% of all deaths), half of such deaths being from dementia. Care homes may be categorised into residential care homes that provide personal care only and nursing homes that provide personal and nursing care. They are increasingly recognised as important providers of palliative care for older people, potentially offering a homelike environment, continuity of care, and relationship-centred care until death. ” From an article in The British Journal of General Practice, September 1st, 2014 entitled “Living in uncertain times: trajectories to death in residential care homes.”
No Vit D or C, no Ivermectin – just Midazolam and dehydration.
