How did most diseases start AndyM? Through processed foods or animal agriculture.
White bread is a great example for processed food, take all the nutrition out, then sell the cure.

Nice share there, skull boy. Completely agree we are lining ourselves up for a future of more and more pandemics. Overpopulation, ease of global travel, reluctance to forgo dangerous animal agriculture and wild animal consumption, yep were screwed.

We're also extra screwed due to the fact that covid has made us weary, and sceptical (some more than others). As I've mentioned in here before, if the widow maker, hail Mary strain of covid, or some ither novel virus rolls along, I could see people moving into denial mode, rather than defend mode, even as the bodies pile up.

The whole world knows Omicold is no worse than the flu but Cindy Ahern still has authoritarian political mileage to grift. It’s the citizens ofvNZ who are personally paying the price for her folly. She needs to be locked up for her criminal behaviour.

All she is doing is ruining lives to shore up her image amongst the bed wetters, chickenshits and softcocks. Even they will learn to hate her when they realise that Cindy has run their health system into the toilet and so even the no-worse-tha-the-flu Omicold will possibly overwhelm the three hospital beds she’s left in NZ.

Another petty dictator who spreads hate speech against innocent citizens because they prefer not to get an injection.

Cindy is a cunt….and that’s putting it mildly.

You’re a fit young bloke who’s been convinced you need annual injections to ward off a fucking flu. Whatever research you’re doing is very, very messed up.

The fact that your two (!!!) GPs would suggest you need a shot against the flu shows exactly what’s wrong with the modern concept of health.

Hey Supa/Sypkan/Tyler Durdan/ID,

Crew on here I have respectful disagreements with ),but still may have referred to as anti vaxxers ;)

I'm listening to a podcast by Yasha Mounk (German-American political scientist. He is currently Associate Professor of Practice at Johns Hopkins University's School of Advanced International Studies in Washington) interviewing Ross Douthat (American political analyst, blogger, author and New York Times columnist.).

Ross has had an incredibly long and arduous battle with Lyme disease, much longer than the typical lifespan of the disease.

The title of the episode is 'the trouble with experts', and is Ross's recounting of his experience dealing with a chronic disease which acted outside of the typical bounds that experts agree upon.

A lot of cross over with what's going on with covid, but it is from the perspective of Ross, who likely has gained a distrust of how doctors and experts in diseases work.

So far he's essentially saying he experienced how hard it is to get experts to agree upon working outside of the commonly agreed principles of treatment of a specific disease. How instead of offering and supporting alternative treatments, respected experts were saying he's likely having psychosomatic issues rather than the physical effects of Lyme disease.

I haven't really directly experienced this, as I'm lucky enough to not have any chronic conditions which absolutely needed treatment, but I have had family members run through similar scenarios.

Whilst I feel there are similarities with covid, I do think the main difference is the novel nature of covid, and the emergency need to react in a unified manner.

Vaccination was the quickest, widely agreed upon method of action. Alternative treatments I feel will have a place in our future treatment and management of covid, and a look back will occur within the coming years or even months to see if we missed the mark with how we reacted globally.

The censoring of certain ideas and inconsistency I believe generally came out of good faith, in an attempt to ensure we acted in the most effective, rapid manner possible without faltering down paths which were not entirely agreed upon.

So essentially, whilst I still believe the best course of action for laymen like us is to listen to the most relevant and widely accepted expert advice in our country, I do think there's a fair chance some of the treatments and alternatives you guys (and girls?) look into may come into wider usage at a later date.

I know you may be genuinely curious to share these ideas and discuss from each other, but I do feel that due to the existing issues with vaccination hesitancy and trust, there does exist a responsibility to be careful what information you share, such that it doesn't get taken as advice.

Anyway, interesting podcast, happened to cross over into this thread in some manner.

Carry on.

Good discussion indo , would really like Zdogg to invite McCullough on to his podcast as McCullough has repeatedly asked anyone that wants to challenge him to do so . Zdogg was saying on this video that censorship doesn’t work and the opposite ends up happening which is true as msm tried censorship against McCullough and Malone and they ended up on a bigger platform which was Rogan and the publicity that’s followed. Why not just debate these guys publicly. All in all it was a good interview. ( their commercials were a bit weird though )

Nice try Supa but you know I have no intention of listening to those guys talk :)

Simply referring to the fact that raising an argument which is not factual (or say, a fact which is not properly backed up by appropriate trials and peer review) is easier than the effort to refute it with correct evidence. Hence a debate could just strengthen their positions, even if the points they raise are dubious, as their opposition may not have the time or capacity to mount a timely response.

The following they've gained among the real deadset anti vaxxers (not you) will also mean that any points of discussion which seem open, or contestable will be seen as victories for Malone.

Also, there's the fact that engaging in debate validates their position, which again could be chalked up as a win for anti vaxxers.

A healthy diet and exercise is a basis, but not everything you need. We live jn ways humans are not designed to live....world travel, factory farming, pesticides etc etc.

You keep harping on about covid being a “novel virus we have no immunity against “. This shows exactly just how brainwashed you’ve been by the propaganda campaign to make you believe that covid is an unprecedented threat to your health.

You may not have immunity, but you have an immune system which defends your body against threats known and unknown. The natural immune system of an average healthy person is successful in defeating the covid virus 99.95 times out of 100 .

I will repeat that so you have a chance to let the truth begin to dissolve the false / fake / misinformation you have indoctrinated with :

An unvaccinated healthy person has a natural bodily defence called an immune system which defends the human body against health threats both known and unknown. This natural defence system is successful on average 99.95 times out of 100 when it is confronted by covid.

You’ve got to let go of this idea that this is a unique threat to your health. The human body is regularly confronted by health threats it has never faced before and we do not simply keel over. Our bodies fight to live.

Most people experience no symptoms at all from covid as their bodies simply overwhelm the virus without struggle. Some people experience mild symptoms as their body’s fight the infection. A slight fever or sniffles or fatigue. The body still wins very, very easily. A tiny fraction of weak or frail people, who are vulnerable to any heatth threat, are posed an elevated risk from the covid virus , just as they would face an elevated risk from influenza.

Millions and millions of Australians have had covid. It is not the vaccine which saved them , it was their own natural resilience to disease. The vaccines may have prevented more serious illness and even death in a tiny percentage of the population. Most do not need it.

Sooner or later you will be forced to realised that you’ve been convinced by liars that covid is an existential threat which justifies outrageous destruction of human rights and civil liberties.

It is not.

I’m confused Stok. I thought the whole idea of vaccinating the population was to protect the vulnerable and end the pandemic. It’s not about an individual’s capacity to fight the virus. Doesnt finding one or two doctors that support your biased wishes to not have your kids jabbed based on their individual lack of need just make you an anti vaxxer? Doesnt this make your kids super spreaders and granny killers?

Why do you reserve the right for your kids but then belittle others who choose the same?

tylerdurden Monday, 31 Jan 2022 at 7:58am

Stok, I believe in the efficacy of the vaccinations but I still believe in informed consent. I’m against mandatory vaccination but I also believe in consequences for your actions. The question which I’m actually uncertain on is whether the current consequences of not being vaccinated are too great, in other words it is almost “mandatory by proxy” in that you basically can’t live your life unless you’re vaccinated.
I’m not sure I agree with that.

I do believe more emphasis should be placed on early at home treatment and the list of “not recommended” and “trials only” drugs put out by the NCCET is far too long.
I think that list should be much shorter and GP’s should have the freedom to interpret the evidence and recommend early treatment that they say fit, pretty much like they do for every other disease.

On top of that, when all’s said and done I believe a country’s success will be judged on much more than just Covid numbers. The economic impact is one but also the excess deaths.

Not sure if all that makes me an “anti-vaxxer”, some would probably say yes

Whose decision was it to scrap the previous pandemic plans put into place by Abbott and other earlier governments?
Whose decision was it for the federal government not to join in the Clive Palmer legal challenge to the closing of state borders?
Whose decision was it to set up the National Cabinet?
Why was the National Cabinet given priority over the federal Cabinet?
Under what legislation was the enforced closure of trade and businesses across the nation permitted?
Does that legal authority need to be revisited or curtailed to prevent similar outcomes in the event of future pandemics or emergencies?
What commercial or financial links, if any, exist between any of our health bureaucrats at a state or federal level and any pharmaceutical companies involved in the production of Covid vaccines?
Are there any conflicts of interest between any of our politicians or health bureaucrats and the vaccine industries?
Why were certain potential Covid treatments being trialled overseas using medications approved for other uses disallowed by our own health authorities?
How many times has this ever occurred in the past? If the answer is ‘it has never happened before’, why did it happen this time?
How much of the JobSeeker and Jobkeeper money was pocketed by big business?
How much per head did Australian taxpayers spend on stimulus and other such emergency measures? How does this compare with other countries?
Upon what evidence did our health bureaucrats base their decisions regarding lockdowns and curfews?
At what point did our health authorities become aware that the vaccines do not necessarily prevent transmission? Did this discovery alter their advice?
How accurate were the predictive models about deaths in Australia due to Covid?
What is the federal government’s legal definition of mandatory vaccination? Of coercive vaccination? And of manipulative vaccination?
How many Covid-registered deaths in Australia were “from” Covid and how many were “with” Covid? Precise numbers please.

Michael, that almost sounds like the transcript to the Joe Rogan/Robert Malone podcast with a bit of the Peter McCulloch/Pierre Kory podcast thrown in.
They all gave their opinions on those things.
The government of course will give a different opinion.

I believe disagreement with governmental policy is vital in democracy.

For example, VicLocal has been very critical of the Morrison government although he appears to be in agreement with other parts of their policy such as vaccines and the early treatment regime.

But be careful saying some of those things to your friends though, they might label you an anti-vaxxer

If Abbott was pm vaccines would be mandatory Australia-wide. And everybody would be paying for them out of their own pocket. That money would then go directly to the pharmaceutical companies. (Remember when he tried to introduce that extra $7 medicare levy thing)

I’m confused Stok. I thought the whole idea of vaccinating the population was to protect the vulnerable and end the pandemic. It’s not about an individual’s capacity to fight the virus. Doesnt finding one or two doctors that support your biased wishes to not have your kids jabbed based on their individual lack of need just make you an anti vaxxer? Doesnt this make your kids super spreaders and granny killers?

Why do you reserve the right for your kids but then belittle others who choose the same?

Hint: the answer starts with e and ends with go

What exactly are you getting at Shoredump?

We hit over 90% vaxxed for over 12yr olds, we acted appropriately to provide a high level of protection within the population before we reopened. 5-11yr olds have just become eligible and there's currently no speak of mandates.

Also, I never said I would go with a preconceived notion that i didn't want my kids to be vaccinated, I would likely just consult them and discuss any questions I have. It'd probably be a quick consult to be honest, with the likelihood of myocarditis thru covid more likely than thru vaccines, and omicron leading to higher rates of hospitalisation of children around the world.

I'm not pretending to be perfect, I'm still susceptible as anyone to emotional propaganda - and children is a strong one. So, when people on forums like this, or on social media, share information which provides unfair focus on the risk of vaccination vs the net benefits in children, of course the mind creates what if scenarios.
