Episode 200: How herd mentality has nothing to do with reality and the risk to America after the elections.

The facts are as follows: Corona Virus has never scientifically been proven to cause any disease at all. Koch's postulates globally accepted for decades as being the pre requisite have never been fulfilled. The PCR test has never been shown to formally identify corona virus rather just a protein sequence found on it but which could equally be found elsewhere. A study in October of 1500 positive PCR tests was unable to isolate a single corona virus and instead they were all positive for Influenza A or B. The inference being that since excess mortality is not above the seasonal norm that people are dying as usual of influenza and not corona. The next point is that there is a vastly different mortality rate between neighbouring European countries and assuming viruses are not geographically aware then the only difference is the medical treatments which during the first wave included putting 80 year olds on ventilators and blowing their lungs apart and or putting them on huge doses of hydroxycholoroquine or dexamethasone ie a large proportion of deaths were due to treatment not any virus. We also now know that in the UK the point prevalence of infection right now as defined by testing is between 1 in 30 -50. Assuming a two week infection this means that any form of physical isolation is ludicrous. It's already spread. It also makes a vaccine useless unless one is comorbid. Instead a far more sensible approach is to address population health such as Vitamin D status and diabetic status. For instance Vitamin D is the main predictive factor for whether you get corona or influenza and if so how severely you get it. Also according to the Kraft test 70% of the Western World is pre-diabetic which in turn is the biggest risk factor for cardiovascular disease which is the the single biggest co morbid risk factor for corona. The biggest killers in the western world is stress and depression which will be severely worsened by lock-down and diet causing diabetes.
The government's response? Lock-down us all down destroy business and allow take-aways.
Boris Johnson is clearly unfit to have any kind of leadership role. He has a concentration and impulsivity problem and cannot focus on anything he is not interested in. His main interests are power, women and the classics. He can therefore write books about ancient Greek but he is known not to be a man of detail when it comes to every day politics. His idea of following the science is meaningless if he does not know which advice to seek ie doctors who specialise in viruses and infectious disease absent in the government advisory group instead run by academics and government funded Professors effectively administrators. The key medical dictum of 'do no harm' has failed miserably when increasing research shows that lock-down is likely to kill 10x more people than it saves. Furthermore when Sage in an effort to avoid responsibility told the parliamentary select committee that their job was to advise about the virus and not the wider effects of lock-down there is an instant break in logic and ethics. You cannot recommend a treatment without explaining the side effects otherwise you do not have informed consent. It is illegal.
The other side of the pond is not fairing any better. They have a new President who at one point could not remember his grand-daughter's name and who looks frail. With age comes huge experience and wisdom but it needs the strength clarity of mind and stamina to apply it. Instead we have a frail president with a vice president who was the youngest female district attorney and who focused on viciously dealing with cannabis users despite having admitted to having used it herself. Lawyers by definition are adversarial and disagreeable and she rose to the top. We therefore have a frail president and a power hungry disagreeable VP. Watch this space.
