From the moment the ruling Chinese Communist Party ordered a handful of inconveniently big-mouthed doctors in Wuhan silenced and then forced them to pen some good old communist “self-criticisms”, the Wuhan Plague has been marked by lies, bullshit and rampaging ignorance parading as “settled science”.
China and the WHO lied and covered up, but as bad, if not worse, were the credentialled idiots ratcheting the scaremongering to hysterical levels. If we were to believe these labcoated hacks, millions of Australians and New Zealanders were going to die in the biggest plague since the black one. ICUs were going to be packed to the gunwales with 35,000 critical cases.
None of it happened of course – and none of that can be passed off as “good management”. The actual outcome in both countries has been far less dramatic than even the “best case scenarios” projected by the supposedly infallible computer modelling. No one should have believed such obviously flawed “scientific” advice for a second.
More to the point, why should we believe them now?
The modelling for Britain was just as astonishingly wrong (in fact the same models were used for Australia and New Zealand). There is also every reason to believe that the supposed statistics of COVID-19 are just as hysterically over-inflated. “COVID” deaths in Italy may have been over-reported by as much as 90%.
Almost a third of Britons reported to have died from coronavirus in July and August passed away due to other reasons, Oxford University researchers have said.
They found that the official Covid-19 death statistics included anyone who died after testing positive for the virus – even if they had later been hit by a car or had had a heart attack.
The study found coronavirus was not the main cause of death in 465 cases out of 1,617 people recorded as dying from Covid-19 over the summer months.
Not only is that a shocking over-exaggeration, but it means that COVID-19 is in fact a piddling health threat.
The latest study came as it emerged that Covid-19 is no longer in the top ten of England’s biggest killers.
Official figures revealed the virus dropped from eighth place last month to 24th, with dementia and heart disease at the top of the list.
Every day, 1,676 Britons die of something that isn’t the dreaded WuFlu.
Covid-19 accounts for an average of 11 of the 1,687 deaths in Britain every day, according to official statistics.
In comparison, 124 people died each day from flu and pneumonia in the week ending September 4.
Heart disease – Britain’s biggest killer – accounted for 460 deaths every day last year, while cancer kills an average of 450 people per day.
Around 87,000 people die of dementia each year – about 240 people a day. Lung disease accounts for 31,000 deaths, or 84 every day, while fatal accidents at home – often while doing DIY – lead to 16 deaths per day.
Five people die every day in road accidents across the UK, while infections – including C.diff – and stomach bugs kill 5,937 a year, about 16 people a day.
Last year, there were 5,691 deaths attributed to suicide, an average of 15 per day.
There were 2,958 stillbirths, 2,831 deaths in infants under one year, and 3,248 deaths in children under five in 2018.
Remember when we shut the entire economy down and cowered in our homes in mortal terror, every time someone keeled over from the flu?
Me neither.
