Canadian Covid denier who was being prosecuted for breaching lockdown to attend a flat-earth convention is found dead days after posting video saying he had cough and chills ‘but it isn’t Covid, because that doesn’t exist’

//He had claimed to be taking ivermectin, an anti-parasite drug, to treat his illness.

Ivermectin is popular among anti-vaxxer communities as a treatment to Covid but health officials in the US and Canada have repeatedly warned people against using.//

Is there any reckoning made of threads which have the most 'answer removed 's.& would it not be of interest to know moderates them?

[Mamyalynne]

No on both counts.

my guess is that an editor attended to this thread. Mods seem mostly just to delete single posts, not carry out major cleansing operations.

It's pretty evil to not give a damn about possibly passing on Covid to others, Pixie, surely?

I have as much sympathy for him as I'll have for my anti-vaccine, Covid denying, misinformation spreading sister.

Actions (or inactions) have consequences – sometimes just for the person themselves, but sometimes for wider society as well.

If either of the following statements were true, then refusal to be vaccinated against Covid-19 would only affect the individual concerned and that would be an end of any discussion :

1. Covid-19 is not transmissible from human-to-human
2. The vaccines are 100% efficient and no-one who is vaccinated can contract Covid-19

Unfortunately *neither* of the above is true – Covid is very much a human-to-human infection and the current vaccines are (at best) 90% or so effective.

This means that anyone refusing to be vaccinated poses a risk to the vaccinated population – as well as a much greater risk to themselves and other unvaccinated persons.

1. There is an increased risk of infection to individual vaccinated persons – an unvaccinated person is very much more likely to be ill with Covid-19 at some point, and will also be shedding a maximum viral load for much longer whilst in the infectious stage of the illness (recovery times are significantly longer in unvaccinated people).

2. A significant pool of infection continuing in unvaccinated persons provides increased opportunity for more harmful variants to develop.

Thus it is obvious that choosing not to be vaccinated (which is an entirely personal decision which I respect) has implications not just for the individual, but for wider society too.

As such, I have the right to be contemptuous of people who refuse the vaccine, but still insist on their right to continue to interact with Society (stay on your own in a cave and I'll respect you) and I also have the right not to give a flying fig if they catch Covid and die.

I have to apologise to New Judge
my apolz judgie baby you were right all along

NJ has long been complaining the the covid death numbers were wildly wrong - and we were being purposely misled by Those in Charge

I admit there was a brief love affair with covid=flu but like a lof of other old men chasing younger ladies, he has managed to control it ! a regretted lapse - quickly um covered

and we learn it is true !

patients labelled as dying from hospital infection ( nosocomial to you and me) were in fact dying from the Covid they acquired in hospital. Fact ( as TTT loves saying when it isnt)

so the numbers as NJ insisted AREN'T 186 000
they are much higher 197 000

sozza muh lud - dubbl sozza - I shd have listened With More Respect!
