      And yes, for anyone interested in facts, most positive SARS-CoV-2 tests are true positives (even in the UK), this is not some conspiracy but actually quite simple mathematicshttps://gidmk.medium.com/most-positive-coronavirus-tests-are-true-positives-60c95fe54fec …

      "This is just like previous years' influenza" In 2017/18 and 18/19 the peak admissions across the UK to ICU/HDU units for flu did not top 300 per week, making the current situation at least 5x worse than your average season And it's getting worsepic.twitter.com/J9rHhIZRwX

          It has been painful pushing back to his supporters. But I felt someone has to show up to stop the casual observer believing him.

          Has Sars-Cov2 satisfied Koch's Postulates anywhere in the World? No government can provide evidence that is exists outside of symptoms. 40 of them were asked under freedom of information. All answered the same. NO EVIDENCE. If this was genuine, they would have proof to hand.

          Whitty said less than 1% died at its peak, was he wrong? In Jan 2018 64.000 people died, that’s over 15000 a week. No lockdowns or restrictions. In Dec 2017 45.000 died, that’s a total of 109.000 in 8 weeks. There’s been 80.000 C19 deaths in 10 months.https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-5440785/Killer-flu-outbreak-blame-42-spike-deaths.html …
