Hi Mike, I’m extremely glad you defended your reasons for continuing to write about Covid in The Arrow.
I voted last week that I did NOT have Covid fatigue because this Covid business is still affecting people in various ways. Briefly:
I have friends, “intelligent” friends, who are still having Covid booster jabs and saying how “safe” they are now feeling, they are still testing if they have Covid when they get a cold ! Some people are still wearing masks and some doctors are still recommending them. A large number of people have clearly been scared witless by government fear mongering during the pandemic with all the rules, regulations and lockdowns.
Then there’s the possible side effects of the Covid jabs. I had three Covid jabs in 2021 (I fell for the fear mongering then) but I have refused them since then, but could even those jabs have caused some damage to me ? I’d like to know, so until there has been a full investigation into the side effects of the Covid jabs we are still in the dark.
Then there’s the issue of excess deaths. Here in the UK the excess death rates are huge but there’s no real explanation. Some of them are doubtless after effects of the lockdowns when hospitals here virtually shut down for all illnesses other than Covid, and certainly people could not get to see GPs because GP surgeries virtually shut down from March 2020 and many have since still not opened up fully - they do telephone consultations instead of face to face consultations so early signs of cancer and heart disease are being missed. The current NHS waiting lists to see hospital specialists are just about the longest ever so people are dying before they are able to get treatment or when it’s already too late to get effective treatment.
The economy is also affected by the changes in behaviour many people have made regarding how they work. I don’t know all the ins and outs of why that is, but what I’m trying to say is that we’re all still being affected by Covid in one way or the other so please Mike carry on writing about Covid.
Yep, I agree across the board. I've been keeping track of excess deaths, but it's difficult to get accurate figures. Which is strange, because death is a data point that is pretty firm. Still, I get different figures from different places. I'm always careful about these things, so I don't want to rush out with anything unless I'm pretty convinced it is accurate.
Well said, Anne! As the "hold their feet to the fire" guy from last week, the parts of Covid I am sick of are the goofy rules for masking, which, depending on where you live, are actually starting to reappear; the mindless pushing of the boosters, regardless of new information that keeps popping up showing that these should be avoided, as the saying goes, like the plague. The lies that continue to be spread about "safe and effective". And the total lack of accountability from the ass-clown bureaucrats who brought us to the brink. I don't expect to see anyone pay the piper, as this is way too deep for that and the easy way out is "I don't recall". It sure is nice to see a few of these idiots squirm, but I don't except anything substantial will come from it. Cheers!
