Invaluable front-line despatch from Dr. dan at the Leaky Hulk

Desperate situation in the London hospitals, which is clearly giving dan a very dark mood about the entire future right now; and him with little children growing at home. Poor bugger! And poor all the poor innocent sods who are caught in this toxic amber flow:

Dan’s dispatches since the outset have been useful in restricting potential ‘deniers’ who might otherwise have said it was all a hoax. His medical explanations have been useful too, like the one above. From his posts - especially when he went down with the virus - it is clear he has been dedicated to his cause, and deserves every sympathy and respect for his selfless contribution on what has been the front line. He has also spoken of the scamming that the government is doing on the back of covid.
Things are grim in the part of the world where Dan is, also in the South East where he posted a doctor’s anguish. And it must be grim for doctors to hear drunk people shouting it’s all a hoax outside their covid-filled hospital.
Yet still I am not swayed by his heartfelt pleas for automatic conformity. Though covid-19 itself isn’t a hoax, many doctors have indicated there are elements of a hoax - the lack of consideration to treating people early who have covid symptoms; the collusion between medical establishments in the US and UK/France to bury some of the most successful treatments, and attack their proponents. Dan himself has echoed exactly those traits.on his own board. He knows where the evidence is but chooses not to accept it, and ended up banning the topic.
He has also railed against attempts to weigh up the effects of lockdown. Willem now ploughs a lone furrow on the Hulk on this matter, and for this is subject to bitter and unprovoked personal flak attacks led by Dan himself.

One wonders how much lockdown-related human cost the government, and medical establishments, are willing to bear. The reality is this cost is not even being counted, hardly even considered.The idea is the vaccines will be the cavalry - and making them the heroes - but as there is no guarantee of this, the dogmatic pursuit of political and professional interests represents a reckless gamble with the public’s health and economic security.
It’s more than that, of course, as the vaccine won’t save the tens of thousands who have already died, almost none of whom received treatment for covid outside of hospital, which for many was too late. That’s why many front line medical dispatches from doctors that have had huge success in treating covid early have accused governments and medical establishments of murder and genocide for burying their success.

The virus is dangerous for people with conditions - so people should try to exercise some care - but responsibility for deaths past and present does not lie just at the feet of the public, for whom no-one is looking out, except on their own terms.

Yep! Have to agree with all that too, E. Complex, innit? I’d say we’re doing better here at teasing out what’s really happening than they are at the Hulk. And - daft though it may sound - that’s due to our insistence on running this forum collectively, with agreed moderators, and rules of good behaviour that are actually enforced. The short name for it is - democracy; the real thing.

As a result of that, we’re now circling in on an understanding of what’s really happening in the scam that’s been constructed around the - admittedly worrying - covid pathogen; a sober, actually-feasible picture of the realities in this by-now deeply vexed matter. And we’re doing that because people know from the outset to restrain themselves and speak like courteous and reasonable adults; a thing which was frequently disregarded at the Hulk; with - of course - no adequate moderation, no written, agreed rules of behaviour, and no sharing of arbitrary power. Object lesson, isn’t it? (There’s still room to say: ‘poor bugger’, though; dan seems to have copped a fair bit of a thrashing this past year.)

I’ve not been looking at TLN for some time, but we are subjected to endless dog-whistling about the hospitals being about to be overwhelmed, and the “highly infectious” new variant, without any actual statistics. Who is dying? Where are all the cases? How many are 'asymptomatic"? Are those with the “new variant” getting sick, or is it less severe as well as more infectious? Is it actually similar to the strain circulating in France and Spain in summer?
The whole timing was suspect, and made me think that this was all some sort of false flag, designed to engineer a swift and sudden Brexit agreement as well as ensuring good publicity for a dodgy vaccine not tested on RATS.
Part of the reason is that here in OZ we’ve had something similar, with Christmas and New Year celebrations all being cancelled or scaled back, only on the basis of two clusters of CASES! Almost all of them traced and in quarantine, but tens of thousands of tests done and contacts traced.
There is barely a person in Australia who is saying this is all overblown, or talking about pre-infection treatments/HCQ/Vit D etc. And now we have to mask up again!
