Kathleen Stock has written a fascinating piece for UnHerd about the recent attacks on Kate Forbes. Here’s an excerpt:
Lent began this week with a rehearsal for a crucifixion. On Tuesday, SNP leader hopeful and devout Presbyterian Kate Forbes was faced with something she must have known was coming: a challenge from journalists about her views on gay marriage, womanhood, and children being born out of wedlock. She did not flinch from spelling out what she thought. By Ash Wednesday, several of her backers within the SNP had publicly recanted, running scared from the ensuing furore, and Forbes was said to be taking “a break from media commitments”.
Accompanying Forbes’s profession of faith was an apparently sincere endorsement of existing equality law, reiterated on Twitter since. But this complication has been widely ignored in the denunciations that followed. Perhaps unaccustomed to the sight of a principled act of conscience from a Scottish politician, our modern-day Pharisees — otherwise known as newspaper columnists — swung into action to make sure it would not happen again.
As is their wont, several commentators pretended to be taking the room’s temperature while actually turning up the thermostat. In the Times, Alice Thomson warned that if Forbes “can’t step back from the pulpit, she’s in danger of becoming as polarising as Sturgeon”.
Another Times correspondent declared that Forbes was now “fighting for her political career, not just the leadership” — as if there were no room in serious politics at all for someone with Forbes’s views.
The Guardian was yet more forthright. “Pass the idiot pills!” hooted John Crace, punning that the politician was on “a mission” (geddit) “to torpedo her own career”. Over in the New Statesman, progressive clergyman Michael Coren blathered that Forbes shouldn’t “receive a free pass” on her views “because they’re allegedly a product of her faith” — the “allegedly” vaguely implying that her membership of the Free Church of Scotland could be a front for something even worse.
It is common now for Christians in political life to downplay the impact their private beliefs have in their public role. Jacob Rees-Mogg pointed out his views on abortion wouldn’t have any impact on policy, and Kate Forbes has made a similar point about same-sex marriage. Stock, however, makes the argument that such beliefs do have an impact on policy, but that this is welcome in Forbes’s case, given her clear views on the dangerous excesses of the trans rights movement.
Forbes has found her defenders, too: most notably, Kemi Badenoch, who referred to her duty as Equalities Minister to protect religious freedom, arguing that Forbes should be allowed to have “freedom of conscience”. As strategic as this defence from Badenoch is, though, I don’t think it quite works. Individual citizens of course have the right to freedom of conscience — including Forbes, who should be able to think and say whatever she likes within reason. The more pertinent question, though, is whether the religious or philosophical beliefs of a politician are relevant to their suitability for office, and especially when the office in question is leader.
Generally speaking, I don’t see why they aren’t — quite the contrary. The farming industry might reasonably be concerned if a vegan became Secretary of State at Defra. The Equality Act protects the philosophical beliefs of spiritualist psychics, but if a would-be prime minister claimed he could see into the future, voters might worry. And in both cases, the assurance that the beliefs in question were “personal” wouldn’t be much consolation — after all, they are still beliefs, involving a distinctive way of looking at the world that by definition can’t be switched off at will. Where a person appears to be able to leave his personal beliefs at home — as Forbes’ rival Humza Yousaf implies he can with Islam — then arguably, he doesn’t have very strong beliefs in the first place.
Equally, sometimes the personal beliefs of a politician can make them look a lot more attractive to voters. Speaking for myself, I think it’s a promising sign that Forbes is willing to say that the rapist Isla Bryson is a man. It makes her look a whole lot saner in that respect than many of her SNP colleagues. But if that’s the case, it can hardly be a problem in itself that, for others, the very same belief makes her seem like a liability. If legislation in a particular area is still a live question and stands a chance of being influenced by the views of a party leader — as is certainly the case for gender reform law in Scotland — then it’s reasonable to place any would-be leader’s background religious or philosophical beliefs about it under the microscope.
While Stock believes Forbes’s beliefs should be taken into account, she finds the attacks to be largely disingenuous woke posturing:
What we have here is a clash of two religions. One of them is full of sanctimonious, swivel-eyed moral scolds, rooting out heresy and trying to indoctrinate everybody into their fantastic way of thinking. The other is a branch of Calvinism. One of them asks “what would Jesus do?” and the other “what would Owen Jones think?”. Faced with a choice between their representatives on earth, I know which kind I would prefer to see in high office.

Flu immunity might have weakened because flu almost completely vanished last season. I’m betting it is not coming back this year either. Also see my comment about people testing negative for several days before testing positive.
This sound awfully like people who keep testing themselves for COVID for no particular reason until they manage to come up with a positive result.
In the cases of the people we know, their symptoms really were Covid-like. Also serious enough for some people to be off for 3-4 weeks but not quite needing hospital, so would not count in the statistics.
Before March 2020 we would have said I have a bad cold.
Why is this cold like Covid now?
Why not say Covid is a bad cold?
Heresy! I am deplatforming you for misinformation and heterodoxy.
…I suspect so that they can keep it going forever….if ALL colds are now considered deathlyCovid and ALL colds have to be tested for, and then you have to isolate, test, have passports….blah, blah, blah….you’ve got the sheep in a constant loop that they can’t ever get out of!
People tell me about someone they know with symptoms and I’m like so what?
Matt Hancock did say testing is here to stay and people will not only test for covid but for flu too…obviously I am not one of those people but sadly many are.
We should NOT do it. It’s playing their game.
Gotta keep the money flowing in the right direction.
An important point: Something which can’t be distinguished from a cold is necessarily a cold.
Yet they still test for extreme temperatures at my doctor and dentist before they will let you in.
My neighbour is a Brownie leader and takes the temperature of the Brownies as they arrive at the meeting. This is a private citizen testing children – and the parents are all for it! I’m aghast.
At my Dentists, back in Feb, soon after they reopened following the panic shutdown, they did that, but in August they had abandoned it. Even let wait in the waiting room then, nor did I have to sterilise my hands.
Indeed.
“They present so similarly that only PCR testing can differentiate between the two. “
It used to be called man-flu but of course that is proscribed now.
From what I’ve seen, there is a distinction around theloss of taste and/or smell for a period.
Erm, that usually happens to me when I get a cold. Are you telling me I have had covid for the last 50 odd years without knowing it?
No. But it’s never been symptomatic of any cold that I’ve had. I’m relaying what people with genuine SARS infection have credibly told me.
Aha – we have found the Typhoid Mary of COVID!
Respiratory disease first port of entry is?
Starter for bonus points, which parts of the body are first affected by respiratory disease?
Extra bonus points, what are the common early symptoms of nearly all respiratory diseases?
What part of impossible to clinically diagnose don’t you understand?
May I suggest you stop getting your information from the Daily Mail or No10.
“stop getting your information from the Daily Mail or No10″
Undoubtedly, there are a lot of misdiagnoses in this shit-show – but that really is a twerp of an arsehole’s comment. There’s enough reality deniers amongst the Covidiots. The observation comes from people who’ve had a distinctive type of infection – whatever you call it.
Stopping up your ears and singing ‘La la la’ isn’t ‘scepticism’ – it is unbalanced reality denial. It’s just grist to the Narrative mill – reinforcing the idea that ‘sceptics’ are just religious idiots.
I’m interested in the down-voting thick-as-a-brick reality deniers who seem to be on the side of 77th Brigade. This is a genuine, verifiable observation about a noticeable proportion of SARS-CoV-2 infections.
The trillions of symptoms from this bullshit virus and bullshit test are a paradise for the ‘hey look at me, I’ve got/had CONvid’ hypochondriac type
So-called COVID symptoms are entirely unspecific, ie, just those common to all respiratory infections. There’s none I didn’t have before COVID at times, although the loss of sense of taste seemed to be new for fall 2019’s flu from hell. Assuming these tests are at least remotely reliable, someone who’s got symptoms but tested negatively for Sars-CoV2 multiple times obviously can’t have symptoms caused by it.
NB: I specifically don’t mean to imply anything about the possible (hidden) motivations of the people who did this.
Flu vanished? You sure?
Vanished in a puff of rebranding.
and misdiagnosis.
Relabelled
it indeed vanished.
in the netherlands designated family doctors send blood specimen of patients, taken for other purposes, to be examined for virusses to a central lab.
they have done so for years.
the outcome shows that the flu actually has all but disappeared over the last year and a half.
and the university if glasgow has found out why. https://academic.oup.com/jid/article/224/1/31/6179975
Lets hope I get the super cold and survive it….
No flu this winter in Australia, why would the Uk get it?
It didn’t ”vanish” though, did it? It was announced in September 2020 that flu figures would be added to ‘covid’ figures and all be designated ‘covid’.
Not sure about this.
Where my wife works, several people who have been double-jabbed have come down with something Covid-like that tests negative for a few days, before testing positive for Covid. She and a colleague who have not been jabbed have been absolutely fine. It was reported that some health person from Bath and NE Somerset (where we are) had said that this had been noticed in this area.
I’m thinking this is actually the affects of the vaccine immunity (which only targets the spike, as opposed to wild-type immunity which targets all of the virus) waning.
Un-vaccinated, I’m into my second week of a rotten cold (caught from my granddaughter – please don’t kill granny). My double jabbed husband has it too, annoyingly not so badly as me, I’m fed up!
When my two grand children were at infant school, me and mr gum had colds pretty much all the time it seemed…..its pretty normal, or at least it was until deadlyCovid! Hope you feel better soon.
Hello HB! I am also an un-injected HB with a double stabbed hubby. Hope you feel better soon.
Hi HB, I’m jealous of your clever name
I had that cold and it was dreadful; I was off work for two days, something I’ve never had to do for a cold ever!
No crisisgarden, you were not “off work”. You were ‘self isolating’
Oh yes, sorry.
Thank you for your good wishes, I think I’m coming out the other end!
Incidentally husband says he is not having the booster and nor is my oldest granddaughter (at 20 she was far too young anyway, I tried my best to persuade her not to)
PS: I think I may be posting this in the wrong position, I’ve not quite got to grips with things here…
Your sentiments matter wherever you post them.
Damn, there goes my theory only the vaccinated get the Super Cold.
Not to worry the booster shots are proving to be a success…apparently.
“14 Israelis have been diagnosed with COVID-19 despite having been inoculated with a third COVID-19 vaccine dose, according to Health Ministry data reported by Channel 12 news on Sunday. Eleven of the 14 cases were over the age of 60, and the remaining three were immunocompromised individuals under 60, the network said. The two that were hospitalized were over 60.”
Remember this graphic re. Israeli booster shots? :
Ah but it would have been even worse other wise…
Was reading today about Cliff Richard, thrice jabbed in preparation for his UK tour (aged 80) – wonder if he got the common or garden ‘might cause myocarditis’ jab or whether he got the VIP jab.
“Testing positive for Covid” – as dodgy as one of those scam calls from Microsoft :
(a) it doesn’t test for ‘Covid’, which is a secondary reaction
(b) an RNA fragment ain’t a virus.
Or Anti-body Dependent Enhancement kicking in.
There’s another consideration and if anyone on here is an immunologist perhaps they could comment:
What exactly are the tests detecting and how can we be certain that it only occurs in SARS-CoV-2?
I’m applying the logic of we don’t know what we don’t know which makes it impossible to state that the tests uniquely identify only this one virus unless they match against the entire virus. You can state it’s highly unlikely just like it’s highly unlikely the earth will be struck by a massive meteorite on the basis it hasn’t for the last 13,000 years but it doesn’t mean it won’t happen tomorrow.
If a scientist identified other pathogens or just another molecule that generated a +ve result, would anyone listen?
And so, a civilisation obsessed with its own upper respiratory tract continues its descent into abject madness. Sniffle.
Via its own arsehole.
“It is impossible to tell the difference between a cold and Covid clinically.”
An astonishing admission. Literally no difference in the clinical presentation (symptoms) between the two diseases. Yet one disease we give nary a second thought, the other has changed our way of life completely.
The two things can’t be simultaneously correct. Either the disease does have considerably more severe symptoms than anything we have seen before, which would justify the actions taken by governments to control it, at the expense of civil liberties.
Or the professor is correct – that Covid symptoms are indistinguishable from common cold symptoms, in which case governments have overstated the risks to the individual, and instigated a completely over-the-top mitigation strategy which poses immeasurably more threat to public health than the pathogen itself.
Answers on a postcard…
To paraphrase Andy Tanenbaum (Dutch professor of computers science): Never underestimate the bandwagonness of a real lot Chinese people freaking out for no particular reason. Our ruling non-elites and most prominent members of the academic class are much to used to bend over backwards automaticakky whenever something involves China! for any good to come out of that.
[Original quote: Never underestimate the bandwidth of a pickup truck loaded with 8″ tapes..]
Yet another (unforeseen!?!) consequence of lockdown policies. It is a shame no-one was warning of such issues at the beginning of all this. Oh, wait …..!!!
Could be worse, you could be New Zealand. I wonder what will happen if they ever fully open up to foreigners again.
“It is impossible to tell the difference between a cold and Covid clinically.”
Yep. That’s why it was such a great idea to shut down the world for a couple of years. (sarc.)
Lockdown is a cold war on the people of this country by the globalists.
It begs the question why we even bothered with the Cold War when 30 years later our society and values are to be traduced by exactly the form of top down global communism, including the rewriting of history, mass surveillance and punishment which existed in East Germany and the USSR.
much as i despise all variants of Marxism , I would describe what’s happened economically to the west as more of a stealthy neo-feudalism than international socialism.
Well whatever it is, it will ensure the dominion of the CCP over the world if we keep going like this.
Complete with depression and suicides, another notorious problem in the DDR.
Communism or Facism, extreme left or right, all the same thing. A minority enslaving the majority.
I wonder if the world will go into lockdown from now on every time a cold virus is deemed to be doing the rounds.
“It is impossible to tell the difference between a cold and Covid clinically.”
What? Did a professor in immunology just say what sceptics have been saying for well over a year? That covid is a cold? Is she going to be blacklisted for this outrageous misinformation? Will Twitter fact checkers correct her evident lack of knowledge?
Seriously, what does it take? Stick the pointless tests and ‘containment’ measures that contain nothing but our living our lives and focus on people who show serious symptoms and treat the symptoms. Not wasting time and money on testing will free up a lot of resources to – shock horror – actually treat people who need it, rather than torment people who do not.
If ‘clinically’ you can’t tell the difference between Covid and a cold…isn’t that because it’s just a frickin cold? Why the hell would anyone want to get tested for that?
Do these people even stop for one second and think how utterly mental they sound touting this rubbish? Give me strength!!
A nation of hypochondriacs.
Right…… Any unvaccinated people had one of these “super colds”? No? Hmm.
So many coincidences right now.
Sorry to be a stick in the mud but I did! However I am around jabbed people a lot -shedding? – have I fucking had it without even having it? What a bummer that would be…
I often feel a bit “buggy” after having spent time in the company of a significant number of jabbed people – I wonder too if that is “shedding”
Could be psychosomatic but my skin crawls !
No that’s depression at the stupidity of them.
Ok a little unfair, the stupidity of most of them.
“If you have any symptoms of respiratory infection you should stay at home to prevent transmission”
Well. f. me!
Translation : Do what you should always do if you have a respiratory infection – even a cold. Historically, too many people have struggled into work/close contact because they think its the brave thing to do. In fact – it’s the stupid thing to do.
It won’t stop spread, but it will mitigate it sensibly, and should have been the basic advice last year, coupled with sensible socializing behaviour for the asmptomatic.
AS it is, we probably have ludicrously weakened general immunity, which is likely to lead to more severe symptoms.
I don’t think it’s brave, I’d love time off for a cold but my employer has a punitive warning system that discourages this. My partner would also love the time off but no one picks up his workload when he’s off and it makes work too stressful to return to. Not to mention all the poor people who don’t get paid and have no safety net. Culture has to change. Stuff all the restrictions.
That’s true. Historically (i.e. before I retired) it was like that in my trade. In fact, in my early years I probably caught (and transmitted) quite a few ‘common colds’ at work for that reason, given the nature of the buildings I worked in.
I was always That Guy in the office who asked people to follow our actual corporate policy and kindly sod off, or be told to sod off, when they came in coughing and sneezing and dripping while claiming, “Oh, I’m probably not contagious”.
I was the guy who wouldn’t touch common surfaces because I know fine well that most humans are filthy monkeys who never really wash after wiping.
Then, it was pooh-poohed (aptly enough). What a fuss to make, everybody comes in when they’re sick, it’s not a big deal, it’ll toughen you up.
Now, I’m the one laughing off the consequences of a 0.3% (with-not-from, at most, and falling) mortality disease, while those who never used to believe in no-see-ums have become the most fervent Branch Covidians, wearing muzzles at their desks even when not required.
All performance, of course: I still don’t touch the bathroom door handle.
I don’t have a particular point to make here, other than that most people are, and will remain, skip licking sheep.
I agree about sensible behaviour if you’re symptomatic – or know that someone is. But contagion from surfaces is probably not a major issue (it certainly isn’t re. SARS), and you need a certain degree of infection to keep your general immune system going.
Man-flu would be much more appropriately termed boss-flu, as that’s the only guy who gets to take off for it. :->
Hmm. Their explanation that ‘our immunity to normal colds has waned’ doesn’t sound particularly believable.
Most upper respiratory tract infections in those over 5 and under about 55 are dealt with by the innate immune system — this doesn’t have ‘memory’ and just responds to infections as they arise.
Have the vaccines resulted in a suppressed innate immune system? Either specifically for coronaviruses (all, not just covid) or infections in general?
You’d think it would be very important to find this out — that there should be investigations into the immune response of individuals to these non-covid infections. There should also be some comparative studies into infection rates of the vaccinated vs unvaccinated, along with disease severity in those two groups.
But the authorities won’t do this, because it appears to be very important to them to never look for anything that might suggest that the vaccines have led to problems.
The ” Common Sense” trite answer of stay home to prevent spread, doesn’t make logical sense.
From the article, due to lockdown, reduced interaction, all of our immune systems are less efficient than would normally be the case.
Therefore to keep our immune systems in tip top condition the logical thing to do is to get exposure to every cold variant going, via people not staying at home.
Is there any other way to keep your immune system properly primed?
Apart from a short period last year in June I’ve been living and working normally and not wearing a mask. I can’t see why my immune system would be any weaker than normal.
After the first 3 weeks of first lockdown, at which point I started examining the data, I did my best to mix with anyone willing because it was clearly not very dangerous. I did try to shy away from elderly relatives but they insisted on ignoring it too on the basis they didn’t have much time left and didn’t want to spend it self-imprisoned. Their choice.
Hmmm…. their definition of a Super Cold sounds like about 50% of the colds I’ve experienced over the years. Yeah, some colds are worse than others. The bad ones make for a miserable 4 or 5 days before they eventually clear.
The bad ones can last longer than 4-5 days.
Yep. I’ve had viruses last 4 weeks. On visiting doc after 2 weeks I am usually told; “go way, it’s a virus, if you haven’t improved after 4 weeks come back”.
We talk about colds but they are talking about a “SuperCold“. Until now I have never come across that as a clinical term, but you learn something new every day!
“Professor Alex Richter, of Birmingham University, said: “It is impossible to tell the difference between a cold and Covid clinically.”
Tells us all that we need to know about the last 18 months worth of nonsense. Rebadged colds used to promulgate fear and drastic societal changes and the pre-destined saviour in the shape of coerced jabs.
Don’t worry I’m sure pharma will have a vaccine (that wanes after 3 months) that will take care of super colds, only £29.99 a shot.
Of course you’ll need four a year for your vaccine pass to remain valid.
I feel vindicated, that I didn’t join in with the Super Nonsense
Same. Now we all just need to watch it unravel from behind the sofa. With popcorn
Can hardly wait… for “Covid The Movie” coming to a cinema near you soon. My popcorn is waiting.
A musical maybe?
I hope it is debt immunity.
Because Antibody Dependent Enhancement (ADE) was predicted to rise between October 2021 and April 2022 due to the vaccine.
I’ve seen the videos online, I’ve seen the statistics and now I am seeing it appear in people around me. And the outlook is not good.
Yep. I’m watching this winter with interest. Fully expecting to be given my yellow star as an un-vaccinated, then shoved on a train to one of the new “Super-prisons”.
One second.
COVID-19 is the name of the disease caused by the virus SARS-COV-2. It is not the virus itself.
If the disease is now symptomatically identical to the disease caused by other coronaviruses, then why even refer to COVID-19 at all?
This is not an abstract or academic point. We commonly refer to “having a cold” when infected by pretty much anything that causes minor respiratory tract symptoms, whether that’s any of the common cold coronavirus, or a mild dose of any of the influenza viruses, and we don’t assume or get tested for the latter unless the symptoms worsen to the point where they cannot be a common cold.
But hanging a label on the cause doesn’t alter the seriousness of the disease one whit. You don’t suddenly become sicker when you find out that your mild “cold” is actually influenza.
And likewise for SARS-COV-2. So why this obsessive zealotry with diagnosing any possible symptom of SARS-COV-2 as being “COVID-19”?
I say zealotry after careful consideration. This feels a lot more like religious fervour than science.
Well said sir.
The only possible reason for testing after symtoms develop would be if it had any effect on the treatment, but since the treatments are generally only for the symptoms and are not disease specific, then a diagnosis is pointless.
It is alleged that ivermectin is a profylactic for Covid. There is no reason that I can see that it would also not have the same effect on other respiratory diseases. I would have thought that may be worth investigating as it may hold the clue to minimising all respiratory illnesses. But of course that will enrich no-one important.
We’ve lost 50 years of benefit from research due to the ignorant behaviour and censorship. No matter many are coining it in, that’s all that matters.
Looks more like stock markets than religion. Years ago, they didn’t want to know, with no specific up market drugs to sell etc for ‘common colds’. A cynic might observe that we are looking at something like “short selling”, in the belief that ‘cases’ will ramp up and increase supplies etc.
Our society has become a joke.
Let’s start fretting over a cold. Or covid, which is so terrifying it is apparently indistinguishable from a cold.
Can someone please slap these hysterical people across the face and tell them to get a grip?
I was just reflecting on a loosely related topic to do with infantilisation in society (related to Bill Gates as well).
How many intelligent people get totally pissed off with intrusive hand-holding of a ‘Does he take sugar?’ type when faced with Windows software?
No! I don’t want to throw money down the drain for more OneDrive space! And I never fucking asked for stuff to be transferred to it in the first place …. and I don’t want fucking ‘Easy Access’ folders clogging up my file application…. and … and …
I know I can get rid of it all (unlike the Covid scam) – but I shouldn’t have to bother – because none of this is actually good for my blood pressure and health in general!
Sounds familiar?
It does indeed sound familiar. Remember Mr Friendly Paperclip? He should do the coronavirus public information films.
“Hi It looks like you’re trying to live freely” “would you like a lockdown?”
It’s Gatesy.
I’m sure someone dev at M$ had just read about Sirius Cybernetics Virtual People Personalities and suggested “clippy” as a piss take…
Please select your current health status:
a) Sick
b) Poorly
c) Unwell
Yes. He was called Clippy!
Brits are suffering from super BS, that’s all.
Sounds a lot like ADE (antibody-dependent enhancement) read https://www.nature.com/articles/s41587-020-0577-1 This has been known about for years but was conveniently brushed under the carpet by big pharma, government, and media. Now the media is pushing the fake narrative of lockdown lack of immunity
You can almost taste the desperation.
‘Social media is seeing users increasingly talking about having caught a “Super Cold”…’
Bollocks! Who goes around saying they are suffering with a ‘super cold’? Who does that?!
Bill: ‘Hello Ron, how are ya?’
Ron: ‘Not too bad, Bill, considering the super cold I had recently.’
Do me a favour!
By the way, Ron went on to tell Bill that the super cold knocked him for twelve!
Purely anecdotal but my wife now has her second really nasty cold since vaccination. She is usually pretty hardy when it comes to colds as she is a teacher.
She actually took today off, her first sick day in about ten years. She is absolutely wiped out.
I had a slightly blocked nose yesterday and now feel fine.
Something is definitely going on.
My immune system is just fine.
Hasn’t been shot to pieces by monkey gunk.
Professor Alex Richter, of Birmingham University, said: “It is impossible to tell the difference between a cold and Covid clinically.
Exactly! So it is like a cold/flu then….
Amazing the number of WhatsApp groups I am in where people are saying things along the lines of “Ah we have all been ill with a bad cold in my house, but thankfully its not COVID”, or “We’ll see you at the pub later on…we have been ill with a cold and still feeling rubbish but its not COVID so no need for us to isolate”….
Literally lost for words
It’s because they believe that if you get ‘covid’ then you will die.
And what is the benefit of knowing whether it is or isn’t covid?
The only real benefit might be that, having recovered from it, one could argue that there is no need for any so-called ‘vaccine’, as you’ve done it all automatically. You never know, in some parts of the world there might even be a profitable market for blood donorship in circumstances like that!
That’s true. But it means having to involve some medic, taking up their time to diagnose and then sign you off when you’ve recovered. Jobs for the GP boys and girls, I suppose, and it’s easier than treating people who are really sick.
I saw a list of covid symptoms listed in the paper a few months back. One was runny nose.
The brainwashed will continue to get tested because they still believe there is some deadly pandemic virus going around. Those not will carry on with life as normal and will have stopped watching or reading any MSM. Its a much more fun and enjoyable life not worrying about being ill every day.
Only to find out that common colds are caused by other coronaviruses, that happen to produce cross immunity to covid19… And then, how regular or how severe are those colds, when comparing vaccinated to unvaccinated individuals. Do they take a side?
A number of common colds are coronaviruses, around one in six in fact.
What are the chances that this particular mother of all colds is a coronavirus and what we are seeing here (in the vaccinated) is antibody dependent enhancement?
Now, that would be a smoking gun…
“Trying to self-diagnose is a sure-fire way to send Covid case rates soaring again.”
NO….
Constant false positive fake PCR “testing” is a sure-fire way to send Covid case rates soaring again.
Prof Alan McNally ‘“If you have any symptoms of respiratory infection you should stay at home to prevent transmission and get a test done for Covid to rule in or out’
No such test exists, and in the words of General Melchett ‘you are a steaming pile of horse manure’
The obvious self contradictory expert. And if anyone follows his advice, the last place you want to be at is a ‘testcentre’ occupied by infected punters.
Nothing to do with antibody dependent enhancement then? The one thing many scientists warned us about after taking the vaxx? My two sisters, vaxxed, never locked down, have had the cold from hell not once but twice since receiving the vaxx. The only people we know in the past two months with Covid, all double vaxxed, all pretty unwell. Make sure and get that booster everyone. You can see how well they are working.
i would like to ask prof richter how many common cold patients are on a ventilator normally..
and prof mabbott where he got his numbers of lower incidence of the common cold in the past 18 months.
both of them are talking absolute shite.
if richter cannot establish the difference between the common cold and covid19 he should retire.
the same goes for mabbott as he seems to have a problem interpreting numbers.
Professor McNally said “and get a test done for covid to rule in or out.” Why? What treatment would you be advised to have that would be any different from that for a bad cold?
Rhetorical why, maybe, but no doubt he hopes that they’ll jack up the statistics to support the scam.
Perhaps he’s got shares in the company.
It’s probably all the muzzle wearers and/or the “vaccinated” with their screwed immune systems.
Why is it that people suffering from a heavy cold or flu IMMEDIATELY want to be ”tested”? Why not just go to bed and get over it (unless you become really ill).
Why play their game?
Well I’m hearing of so called Super Colds. So far only among the vaccinated. But … that can’t be investigated can it.
