You know what.  I’m done now.  I really can’t be bothered to argue with this level of nonsense.  You can continue to believe that Covid doesn’t exist because you’ve been to a library and nobody looked ill.  Let’s hope you don’t find out the hard way. Or, even worse, pass it on to someone else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
butlers   259 #5618 Posted June 10, 2021 Average number of flu related deaths 17,000. Excess deaths last year 100,000. Explain that. Easy to count bodies. There's already some discounting as 150,000 plus death certs have covid on them but only 120 ,000 have covid as the primary cause of death Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I can't prove we have more restrictions but for a heavily vaccinated country with virtually no cases we shouldn't have any. Â Can you prove we don't have the most restrictions?

I could, fairly easily, if I did a bit of searching, but I can't be bothered to try and prove a negative - you provide the positive proof. 2 minutes ago, butlers said: Wink, it will be on a graph somewhere.  It'll be upside down. 😃 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

In any event, I think you implied earlier that you regarded the mainstream media as unreliable. I was wondering do you regard the Office for National Statistics (ONS) as also unreliable? More specifically, how do you feel about the numbers they provide on deaths from all causes? It is a data sequence that runs for many years (I think). Would that kind of data be reliable?
