"Politicians must know that lockdowns are incubating new epidemics and are causing more deaths each time" - Knut Wittkowski.
Swedish deaths in 2020 were about the same as 2000-2003, about 2.5% higher than 2018 when there was an unusually mild flu season. Nevertheless you have read lots of articles telling you that the Swedish response to Covid-19 has been a failure.
Now we read that Swedish hospitals are in danger of being overwhelmed.
English hospitals are in danger of being overwhelmed but, as one journalist said, they are every year.
Three winters ago flu patients were lying on mattresses on the floors of hospitals in Lombardy.
We don't yet have the total number of deaths in the UK for 2020 but it looks like it might be the highest since 1985. But the population then was 56 million and now it is 68 million.

The Great Barrington Declaration was signed by some of the most distinguished epidemiologists in the world, who thought lockdowns do not work and that governments should make herd immunity their goal. It is hard to find information about it on Google and what there is is mostly very condemnatory. The Daily Telegraph almost alone reported it in a balanced way but you have to type 'Telegraph' into the Google browser to find their reports.
Meanwhile in the USA and in much of the world this winter there are almost no cases of influenza. How can this be?

Knut Witkowski, Senior Research Associate of the Rockefeller University, New York, says flu has been renamed Covid. That seems the obvious explanation.
"Influenza has been renamed COVID in large part. There may be quite a number of influenza cases included in the 'presumed COVID' category of people who have COVID symptoms (which Influenza symptoms can be mistaken for), but are not tested for SARS RNA."
"They may also may have some SARS RNA sitting in their nose while being infected with Influenza, in which case the influenza would be 'confirmed' to be COVID."

ReplyDeleteIf you have lockdowns and/or social distancing and/or mask-wearing you can expect a massive decrease in cases of flu. That's what we saw in Australia during the winter. Very few cases of flu. Which of course saved many many lives.
The irony is that while lockdowns and masks have not eradicated COVID they have had the unintended consequence of almost entirely eradicating one of mankind's greatest scourges, seasonal flu.
Elderly Woman Euthanized to Avoid Anguish of Lockdown Loneliness
ReplyDeleteAn elderly Canadian woman was killed by her doctor because she would rather be dead than go through another COVID lockdown. When it looked like she would have to be confined to her room for two weeks, she asked for — and received — the lethal jab due to declining mental health and vitality.
