the morbid thought is that their is nothing loony about any of it.
when cooperation isnt giving angry poo flinging monkeys what they want, the next choice is somewhat obvious.
John Campbell(in the video I posted) is non political. Though I take i the did not like Trump. He just follows the research. He has been teaching doctors in the third world since the 1980's how to improve conditions for treatment and best practices in hospitals
AS far as I know I did not get COVID(THough I may have had a mild case very early on). I avoided it by not stating in public enclosed spaces for more than 10 minutes at a time. I always wore a mask and and disinfected my hands immediately after. Once the Delta mutation came along it pretty much illuminated most of the protection of the masks. But until then keeping your viral load small you would not likely get a serious infect and that may have given some immunity to it.
I keep seeing indications we are being lied to. Some of which are from illegitimate sources But many are quite credible. I took the J&J vaccine because it is less experimental than the mRNA vaccines. It caused a blood clot somewhere inside of me that could have just as easily killed me.
Now even though the research indicates that the J&J shot gives long term immunity they have a booster shot which I cannot take. So I guess I am done with vaccines. But unless there is a major mutation I think I will be just fine.
On thee other hand, the Pfizer shot seems to have an effectiveness of 35% after 6 months according to Campbell. SO a booster shot apparently is needed with at least that Vaccine and probably al; of the mRNA vaccines. Giving out booster shots every 6 months world wide is not going to happen @$16.19 per shot. Even if it was free it would not happen
The slowness and badly designed studies of potentially cheap off patent treatments is stunning. Like HCQ initial studies seemingly being designed to show they do not work. Which is waste of time unless the idea is not to find cheap alternatives. Stunning because we are being told we don't have time to waste.
And why doesn't the "media MSM and Big tech ever talk about natural immunity? If after 6 months the Pfizer vaccine is only giving 35% protection I suspect it is not as good as natural immunity. IE The Spanish flu as terrible as it was never actually went away. Enough people caught it that we ended up with herd immunity at the time.
Children don't get covid nor do they easily transmit should they get it. It is more likely for children to die in a car accident. So should children be banned from riding in cars?
Besides I suppose children taste like dogs.

YOUTH MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS A SHADOW PANDEMIC
By Australian Prayer Network 24/08/2021 Australian Newsletter
Eight teenage girls have committed suicide in the first 7 months of this year in Victoria, a marked increase in the number of young women taking their lives in a tragic toll being closely watched by the Victorian Coroners Court. The alarming rise has been recorded by the court amid a deepening youth mental health crisis that expert professor Patrick McGorry has described as a “shadow pandemic”. New court data reveals 8 girls committed suicide to July 31, up from just one in the first 7 months of last year. In the same period in 2019, Coroner’s Court statistics show three teenage girls took their own lives while the number was four in 2018 and three in 2017. “The court has noted a potentially higher than expected number of suspected suicides among women under 18 this year,” a court spokeswoman said.
“While it is too early to determine whether this represents a trend, the court is continuing to monitor closely.” The rise in suicides comes as the state is gripped by a teen mental health crisis that experts are linking to Covid-19 and lockdowns. Teenage girls are among the hardest hit with increasing eating disorders, self-harm and suicidal thoughts or actions during the 18-month pandemic. Professor McGorry, who heads youth mental health service Orygen, said problems suffered by young Victorians had grown worse and health services were overwhelmed. “The system is drowning or crumbling,” he said. “This is the shadow pandemic. And every lockdown makes it even worse.
“It’s not that the government hasn’t recognised the problem, it’s that they don’t have the same sense of urgency, federal or state, about addressing it like they do with Covid.” Professor McGorry described this year’s eight suicides as a “real phenomenon” and said they needed to be considered in the broader context of the pandemic and lockdowns. “There is an increase in deaths and that is occurring from a rising base of suicidal behaviour particularly among young women,” he said. “There has been a very substantial surge, 20 to 30 per cent of deliberate self-harm and suicidal behaviour that is occurring in particularly young women and that is what is flooding into emergency departments. “The coroner is cautious about over-reacting. You have to put the number of suicides in context of the rising tide of suicidal behaviour amongst young women.” Girls have been hit during the pandemic as they battle eating disorders.
There was a sharp increase in new eating disorder cases early this year, from a weekly average of 654 in 2020 to 878 this year, a 34% jump. The number of teenagers rushed to hospital after self-harming and suicidal thoughts spiked 51%, rising from a weekly average of 98 in 2020 to 148 this year. The most serious cases, where teenagers have needed resuscitation and emergency care, jumped 44.9%, with the 2020 weekly average of 19.8 rising to 28.7 this year. Victorian Liberal Democrats MP David Limbrick said he was concerned the Andrews government did not understand how lockdowns affected the mental health of young people. “They have been saying they have been spending huge amounts of money on mental health, and yet children who need help can’t get access to it,” he said.
Limbrick went on “The mental and physical health effects of lockdowns on children are catastrophic. They are becoming socially isolated.” Mr Limbrick said schools should be immediately opened, and the government should set a date when all pandemic restrictions end. Resilience speaker Graeme Cowan has spoken about his 5 year battle with depression, and the habits he has cultivated to look after his mental health amid uncertainty. The Victorian government acknowledged the emotional toll of lockdowns. “We know how tough repeated lockdowns are on all Victorians, and that the emotional, social and financial toll of the pandemic is profound for so many people, but we just can’t risk the devastation of an uncontrolled outbreak of the Delta variant spreading rapidly across the state,” a spokeswoman said.
The government said it had invested more than $225m to help boost mental health services during the pandemic, and also referred to its $3.8bn delivered in this year’s state budget to implement the findings of the mental health royal commission. A spokeswoman for youth mental health organisation Headspace said their national online and phone counselling service noted a spike in demand “associated with strict lockdown periods both in Victoria and in other states experiencing heavier restrictions, such as Greater Sydney and NSW”. The government did not respond to questions about the eight suicides, pointing to broader court data that showed overall suicide numbers in 2020 were in line with those in 2019.
A senior child psychiatrist said the rise in teenage girls committing suicide reflected health department data confirming a mental health crisis. “There has been a sustained increase in referrals and presentations of young people with self-harm and severe emotional distress,” the expert said. “The data shows this demand has persisted independent of whether the state has been in lockdown or not. “One might hope there could be as much attention paid by the press and the government to suicides, and the monthly reports on children’s mental health presentations as there is on Covid cases and hospitalisations each day. “ But we in the field are no longer holding our breath. “The continuing injury, fear and despair will continue to take their toll, long after the active trauma of restrictions ever ends.”
