Gordon R Posted May 17, 2021 Report Share Posted May 17, 2021 chrisjpainter - your lengthy post on previous page - excellent. Quote think more are going to die due to lack of treatment from the massive waiting lists nobody wants to mention than anything else clangerman - very relevant point. I despair at the number of conspiracy theorists, who can give you a bizarre take on any given situation or event. If the Government site says what they don't like they say you can't believe a word they say. If it suits them they cite it (albeit incorrectly). A positive from the Covid, is that it has brought the nutters into the open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or failing that just delete them without reading? How does that line go.....’beauty magazines just promote low self esteem’. Well the same can be said of social media in that it can cause low self esteem, paranoia, hysteria and fear. If you can’t apply logic by asking yourself, what possible motive could the government, the anti vaxers, the naysayers and scaremongers have for citing such stuff, then better to play safe and not to read it at all......oh, and maybe don’t mention to your FEO that you’re susceptible to conspiracy theories! 🙂 Edited May 17, 2021 by Scully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-G Posted May 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2021 Thanks all - said with a big smile on my face. 'Most of the replies are along the thoughts of my own but much better worded and reasoned. I don't beleive much of what the 62 years old now single bloke sends me but I'm open minded enough to at least read it and wonder how much of it has an undercurrent of truth. I may have used a wrong expression with the antivaxer tag - perhaps vax reluctant might be more descriptive but he's quite the recluse so not at much risk of contacting covid..

This can be attributed to the high levels of uptake in the most at-risk age groups, such that immunisation failures account for more serious illness than unvaccinated individuals. so what is wrong with this? That's what the government report is saying, which is fair enough. But what Spanner McTriflehead who wrote this article has made it into is (and I quote, despite the fact that reading it makes my eyes bleed) 'what we have here is an admittance that these experimental vaccines are essentially redundant and do not work.' It's a singularly catastrophic example of how he's failed to comprehend the basic understanding behind vaccination, vulnerability and percentages. Look at how he quotes 56: 56. 'This shows that most deaths and admissions in a post-Roadmap resurgence are in people who have received two vaccine doses, even without vaccine protection waning or a variant emerging that escapes vaccines'. He quotes that because it fits in with his narrative and means he doesn't have to explain THE VERY NEXT SENTENCES. This is how 56 actually reads: '56. This shows that most deaths and admissions in a post-Roadmap resurgence are in people who have received two vaccine doses, even without vaccine protection waning or a variant emerging that escapes vaccines. This is because vaccine uptake has been so high in the oldest age groups (modelled here at 95% in the over 50-year olds). There are therefore 5% of over 50-year olds who have not been vaccinated, and 95% x 10% = 9.5% of over 50-year olds who are vaccinated but, nevertheless, not protected against death. This is not the result of vaccines being ineffective, merely uptake being so high.' (The bold and italics are part of the original text, not my work... as if that bit was somehow of great importance. Perhaps not the bit to leave out then?) So, if the vaccination rate is so high, you will inevitably have a large number of hospital cases of people who are double vaccinated and they will come from that group of vulnerable people. Look at the specific wording. 'vaccinated but, nevertheless, not protected against death.' We've always known vaccines aren't 100% effective and don't give 100% invulnerability. As I've pointed out before, someone who's vulnerable is still vulnerable even if they've had the vaccine. and those vulnerable people will end up in hospital. as the raw numbers of vaccinated vulnerable dramatically outweigh the numbers of non-vaccinated vulnerable, it's inevitable and entirely logical that their hospitalisations and mortality will dramatically outweigh the non vaccinated vulnerable too. The same relationship will be seen in the non-vulnerable too, it's just the overall risk of hospitalisation and mortality is lower too. 40 minutes ago, Dave-G said: Thanks all - said with a big smile on my face.

I do feel a fair amount of sympathy for those who get sucked in because of social vulnerabilities. That is how the virus of conspiracy theories spread. They give the isolated personal connection, the uneducated a sense of knowing, and the desperate hope. The ones I truly cannot stand are the people like this creature from Daily Expose who make money out of other people's vulnerabilities.

It's a singularly catastrophic example of how he's failed to comprehend the basic understanding behind vaccination, vulnerability and percentages. It is a mathematical certainty that double vaccinated people will die. As more and more people are vaccinated more and more vaccinated people will die. This is simply because dying is what humans do.

ordnance Posted May 17, 2021 Report Share Posted May 17, 2021 Enough said. Quote Founded in November 2020 and based in the United Kingdom, The Daily Expose publishes Covid-19 conspiracy and anti-vaccination news. The website completely lacks transparency as they do not provide an about page, disclose authors, editors, or owners. Overall, we rate The Daily Expose a Tin-Foil Hat Conspiracy and Quackery level Pseudoscience website based on promoting false and misleading information regarding Covid-19.

Mungler Posted May 17, 2021 Report Share Posted May 17, 2021 Chrisjpainter excellent work. Top marks. The quoted passage when quoted in full adds meaning and context, which is of course why it was removed in the first place and which is why I kept asking for it. It’s all very wearing though and feels like an argument over the colour of orange juice. We were taught not to focus just on the question but the reason behind why the question was being asked. And so we ask why Stuartc44 has been banging this drum. Come on Stuartc44 we know there’s a full on anti-vaxing conspiracy theorist in there, not someone with a mere passing critique and interest in government literature 😆 Unleash and show us all your inner loon ! 😆 Come on, I’m talking moon landings, aircraft contrails all the way to flat earth.

Vince Green Posted May 18, 2021 Report Share Posted May 18, 2021 There is a new expression "Vacci-morons", to describe these people. My mate Nick is one of those, he is totally convinced that 128,000 people in Britain have been run over by a bus within 28 days of a positive covid test.
