- How is that a metaphor? "I think there is a virus, but it’s not a physical virus, it’s a mind virus..." This is a direct, literal statement.
- The evidence that refutes his claim that the virus doesn't exist can be found on the JHU Covid-19 website. Or this: North Dakota hospitals are reportedly at full capacity amid surging coronavirus cases and a shortage of healthcare workers.
This is my understanding of the situation.
1) Technically the COVID virus exists, but is a mild virus similar to flu.
2) The PCR tests don't seem to have ever been checked for generating false positives, and I think they generate a lot of them. That is why when testing increases, the virus seems to surge. When they talk about 'cases' they actually mean people who have tested positive for the virus (which is not normal medical practice).
3) As people get older and sicker, they become vulnerable to a range of diseases that they would not be vulnerable to otherwise otherwise. This is particularly true of people receiving treatments that damage the immune system. I know a man who got a respiratory virus some years ago. The bug was unpleasant but no more, but his wife, who was on chemotherapy died of the unnamed virus in hospital.
4) If a person enters hospital he/she gets tested for COVID, and because of (2), is likely to come up positive. If he then dies. this is recorded as a COVID death, even if he entered hospital because of terminal cancer, or because of a road traffic accident.
5) Many hospitals always run close to capacity in winter, and coping with all the COVID rules reduces their efficiency further.
6) Many studies have shown that Vitamin D augmentation reduces the incidence and severity of COVID, yet there is no real effort to get people to take this cheap harmless remedy.
This is how this vile trick works. This is why you probably know few if any that have had a serious problem from COVID - here many people when asked don't know of anyone who has had the bug! A friend of mine told me that his father had it. He stayed at home and is now recovering - at age 79.
So I agree with Charlie on this.
At 71, I take 2000 units of Vitamin D a day but otherwise live as normal a life as possible under the restrictions.
