Don't shy away from understanding this stuff. Its not rocket science and maybe understanding more of it can help you arrive at a level you are comfortable with instead of having to side with people that have arguments you may not be 100% with?


I wish I had 100% confidence about anything.

The disease has been demonstrated to be easily treatable reducing the mortality rates by roughly 80%.

The vaccines were introduced under emergency authorisation on the basis that there was no treatment.

We've been sold a great big lemon.


Easily treated by the vaccines or something else? What's the big lemon we were sold?


Easily treated by an array of different and safe pharmaceutical products and supplements which have been roundly censored and the practicing doctors vilified.

That's the lemon you were sold.

The vaccines took a short cut through the established procedures on the basis that they were the only solution. They are not, by a long stretch of the imagination. Which is why the medicines had to be supressed.

Fortunately as I predicted back in May last year there has been a growing band of practicing doctors who refused to accept that the disease could not be treated.

This whole campaign has pivoted on fear and the use of applied behavioral psychology. This is not a conspiracy. The British Government actually described how they use psychology to change public perceptions. The SAGE group recorded that they needed to step up the fear factor early on in the pandemic.

Tell me something. It is an accepted medical fact that vitamin D deficiency plays a huge role on the body's ability to deal with respiratory illness.

Why was this simple fact not belaboured on the media to a point where everyone would be swallowing vitamin D capsules handed out by the health services first thing every morning?

So, you don't understand the science, but are happy to stand behind something Japie says? Is it because it aligns with what you already believe? Is it because Japie has proven the science to you? Unlikely.

It sounds like you are just aligning with what you want to believe. 'I want to believe'.

It makes it easier though. No need for that science quackery stuff. Just believe in what you want.

Year on year on year. No end to it.

As a tax payer we are all paying for this crap.

What Japie said is complete quackery.

Proven common treatments that are censored, practicing doctors vilified. Pfffffft

So far you've come up with some good points, but it doesn't stack up, just small parts of an evolving story and obscure cherry picked facts.

It's not up to to others to disprove that you have a dragon in your garage, whatever evidence anyone comes up with would be instantly dispelled, ie Murdoch media, government intimidation, BIg Pharma, Deep State etc.

Most know you haven't got a dragon in your garage. As long as you believe it, that's all that really matters.

Was more in response to how the media & many in the public report Covid.

"The unvaccinated are filling up our hospitals!!!"

At the moment Covid patients in hospital are a fraction of the patients in hospital from alcohol abuse.

Yes and hopefully it continues but the COVID hospital numbers do reflect the restrictions and vaccination rates note 20% of COVID hospital cases do end up in ICU and that's a problem.

Little that's talked about is the risk incurred by the front line medical staff and the conditions they endure to carry out care, hero's of our time.

At least what Japie says is consistent and reflective of what I see in the world around me.


Are we still listening to the experts and flattening the curve to achieve herd immunity and protect the hospitals ?

2 years in and 1% of the Aussie population has contracted Covid. At last report I saw for NSW was that at peak (back in September / October) 15% of people in ICU beds have also had Covid, with 85% of ICU beds occupied. So that is about 12% of ICU beds had patents in them who had covid, not all were there because of covid, some were, some weren't.

How flat do we want this curve ? At this rate to get 80% infected and herd immunity achieved it will take 160 years. Vax booster shot very 4 months means 480 shots.


Or do we have different science now ?

Neither myscreenname or FormulaNova seem able to refute any particular points I have presented so far.

Let's end the division & bring us all together as one big happy Seabreeze family.

What do we all have in common?

We will all never be fully vaccinated.

I think you misunderstood what I said, I was suggesting that YOU ignore the 'quackery' and just get on with what you clearly already believe. Your standard of proof for anything scientific seems to be "it's beyond me, so I won't bother" and then anything that aligns with what you already believe seems to be "good on ya boy, I agree too".

With that sort of approach, nothing can change and you cannot understand. I doubt you want to.

You don't seem to understand vaccination, yet you then stand behind people's claims about it? How does that work? Do you understand how a vaccine works? Do you understand how a virus becomes vaccine resistant, and why that is different to antibiotic resistance?

The point about 'a dragon in the garage' is apt. 'We' cannot prove to you there is not one there if you insist that one is and refuse to accept any logic that shows you it is not.

P.S. I am not sure you have actually made any points. It seems any time I try and explain the logic you decide to claim it is beyond you.

Really? I just read something that said there are lots of doctors that want to/are treating the disease, but no actual info. Just a lot of conjecture about things that 'might' have happened.

You see that in the world around you? Interesting world.

You're right I don't pretend to know everything about everything. I have been listening to a variety of experts in different fields for the past 18 months & trying to put all the jigsaw pieces into a coherent picture. Obviously that picture doesn't align with your views. That's fair enough.

If you want to get the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th & 6th jab go ahead.

I won't be in the line with you.

Your picture is far from coherent. Its random broad-brush statements presented without evidence. Lots of people here with an open mind who would be willing to consider your ideas if they were evidence-based arguments.

Otherwise, what's the point of your statements. You're against the vaccination. 90%+ of us have had it, the rest aren't going to.

I didn't say I was against it. You obviously haven't read all my posts.

I said you could recommend the vaccines to the ones that need it, 65+ and/or people with underlying health conditions.

The rest who are healthy or young get infected, can access treatments, gain some natural immunity & promote herd immunity.

I think the herd immunity bit is gone COVID appears to change variants too often for that to happen and I don't hear that any longer in the discourse amongst the various agency's.

Best hope is that the variants get weaker but what the end game if any is anyone's guess.

I'm hearing conflicting evidence of this too however a few scientists I listen to say it would be very unlikely you wouldn't gain some immunity benefits from prior infections hence why it could be dropping so fast in South Africa.

Your 'natural immunity' is probably not what you think it is. If there are variants popping up all over the place, most likely due to developing countries and not enough vaccinated, your natural immunity for one variant is going to be less effective than a vaccine used for that same initial variant.

The word 'natural' does not always mean things are better. Our 'natural' response to the first variant is to die, whether you think you are fit, eat the right amount of bananas or drink kelp juice in your sleep.

I guess I'll find out when I catch it.

On another note I just got this message half an hour ago from one of my 2 mates suffering from Pericarditis. He first got it 3-4 months ago just after his 2nd jab & is still suffering from it. He has had 2 Pfizer shots.
