In the Age of Misleading Media (the System Relies on Induced Optimism) One Must Check Medical Facts for Oneself
Filed under: 
AM by no means a germophobe. I never was. Chronic and irrational fear of germs, viruses etc. overlooks the point that microorganisms are everywhere, all the time. But over the past few years it’s undeniable that many people overwhelmed hospitals, as COVID-19 had spread, causing massive fatigue in the NHS. Many GPs and nurses resigned. Many others don’t want to go “in there”. Back in 2020 I had an appointment prospectively scheduled by the NHS, but it took them almost 3 months to actually contact me and ask about a date. I had already forgotten about that by then. There was nothing worth going to anymore. In some contexts, such as cancer screeninings, such delays can be lethal/fatal. To be clear, my appointment was for something very minor, predating the worst of COVID-19. I even gave up on it, seeing that other people needed access to physicians a lot more than I needed it.
The mayhem of COVID-19 never ended. A huge number of Brits died last year. In spite of vaccines? Because of them? Lack of funding for the NHS? Lasting effects of COVID recovery? The government does not even bother investigating. It doesn’t wish to know or doesn’t want us to know.
ONS is still publishing figures about deaths, even if data is missing (according to ONS itself!). The “official” figures in https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/ are a laughing stock. They’re barely even worth citing anymore as they’re incomplete by design. They became like an instrument of government and media propaganda.
Learning for oneself how safe it is to mingle with people, knowing that the health system is mostly unavailable or barely available, just makes sense. Some people aren’t given a choice because as part of their job — their livelihood — they must interact with people. Masks are increasingly being mocked or frowned upon. Distancing isn’t always possible (in some jobs and activities).
2023 is here and the lock-downs soon turn 3. For some of us, limited social contact (physical, in-person) is still a reality, a fact of life. Let’s wait and see what ONS publishes later today (about 3 hours from now). Are excess deaths still going through the roof? Are more deaths “gone missing”?
