Sidlittle Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Covid-19: Concern at 'unprecedented' infection level in England https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-55462701 no need to touch the link - you know the tedious narrative within but such headlines were widely predicted for this week following a nearly 20% ramping up in testing last week compared to the previous 7 days .

zarkov Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 (edited) Just been on Aagirfans Blog https://aanirfan.blogspot.com/2020/ "Most Europeans won't get vaccinated Support for getting vaccinated in Europe is dropping rapidly since October In Bulgaria only 15% plan to take it In Poland less than 40% plan to take it In France only 41% plan to take it In a very strongly government trusting places such as Sweden, still only 67% plan to take it https://www.reuters.com/article/health-coronavirus-europe-vaccines-resis/despite-hi-tech-advances-many-europeans-wary-of-taking-covid-shot-idUSKBN2910J4" It seems (obviously) that vaccine uptake is not what the media is projecting. Vaccine rejection is on the increase and long ago reached a tipping point! Bear in mind that the accuracy of polls may aslo be manipulated and overstated!

Grumpy Owl Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 I spent Christmas over at my dear mum and dad's house for Christmas, so I've been exposed to some of the TV that they watch. I reiterate once again, the 'pandemic' only exists in the media, not in 'real life'. The news broadcasts simply regurgitate 'numbers and figures' which look horrifying at first, but there is no further investigation as to what they 'all mean'. 'Cases' and 'deaths' figures with no context or deeper investigation. A new 'mutant strain' with no explanation of how this has been established. I know this is all bollocks, but I really had to bite my lip and keep quiet because I already upset my mum when I told her in a passing conversation that I "wouldn't be queuing up to take the vaccine", she snapped and said to me that I should do so. Holiday companies discretely urging people to book their holidays for next year, as if things will be just fine. I noticed that RyanAir were pretty fucking blatant about this, with their "jab and go" slogan. How underhand is that? These holiday companies, tour and flight operators are all very keen to take your money, knowing full well what is in store in the near future, no 'jab', no flight, no holiday. And the "Birds Of A Feather" Christmas special on ITV, I'm sorry but while it was admittedly humourous at times, it was also thinly veiled government propaganda, with regards to washing your hands and keeping your distance. Basically anything recorded for TV in the last six months was painful to watch. How are contestants on something like 'Pointless' or any other TV quiz show meant to 'confer' with a bloody great plastic screen between them? I did enjoy spending time with my mum and dad, but by jove, I'm almost glad to be back at home now, away from the 'normies'. I did have one parting shot though, as my mum moaned about the quality of TV programming at Christmas, I did state "you always have a choice", with that choice being to turn off the TV and do something else instead. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orange Alert Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 (edited) 2 hours ago, Nemuri Kyoshiro said: 1. How many of these doctors have seen an actual war zone? 2. How many of these calls are frivolous? 3. Ramping up the fear. The NHS knows full well that such a state of alert is unwarranted but it gives them licence to prioritize Covid over real life-threatening conditions. 4. Thus depriving seriously ill people of treatment, which saves money. Given the MSM reporting, this is how I imagine a local NHS Walk-in Centre is during a war zone lull.
