No amount of comparing Sweden to its immediate neighbours will persuade me that the Swedes didn’t have a better 2020 than most Europeans. I recently did a new interview with Ivor Cummins to talk about covid-19, my new book, and ongoing developments in Sweden. In the heads-I-win, tails-you-lose world of the hardened denier, countries which lock down and have few deaths are proof that COVID-19 is a paper tiger, but if COVID-19 deaths fall after a lockdown comes into effect, the death rate was going to fall anyway because the virus was tired or herd immunity had been reached. We saw the same thing in Wales in October and in England in November. It’s a zero-sum game in which disease and death is traded off against misery and poverty.

A powerful video viewed more than 1 million times has drawn intense Twitter activity but not among Twitter users with blue-check validation. As luck would have it, a hugely disproportionate number of them happen to be admitted to hospital and die from something else, thereby producing scary death counts which are corroborated by corrupt doctors. You can find it here. And so it comes as no surprise that the World Economic Forum (“Davos”) is … He has released his latest forensic comparison of the international data on Covid-19 mortality – on the impact or otherwise of lockdown and mask-wearing as against other, more likely, causative factors. I recently sat across a phone line with Ivor Cummins, researcher of modern chronic diseases and author. Why, then, is it so hard for them to accept the overwhelming likelihood that the same coronavirus is doing what viruses do and spreading rapidly in the winter?

Maintaining this belief in October, when the death rate had risen to a level last seen in May, took a certain amount of mental agility but a significant number of people were able to do it. It’s time to blow the barn doors off of this COVID-19 mainstream hysteria, anti-science and fear-inducing messaging. He did not draw the obvious conclusion that if the false positive rate of the PCR test was 0.8 percent, the ONS should find positives at least 0.8 percent of the time. How has it managed to survive, spread, and mutate with all the tenacity of the virus itself? Any suggestion that there would have been even more deaths without lockdowns is dismissed as impossible because “lockdowns don’t work.”. Words and phrases are confidently repeated by those who don’t really know what they mean. These were ideas that reasonable people could debate without being considered cranks. Maybe the video is too powerful, too truthful. Has the government ever specified precisely what the false positive rate is? And if lockdowns produce no appreciable health benefits, then why are governments voluntarily cratering their own economies for no reason? Cardinal...

Ivor Cummins is a biochemical engineer who has developed a large following for his data-driven, lockdown-sceptical assessments of the Covid pandemic. Why is the government using a diagnostic test with a 93 percent false positive rate and why isn’t that test producing false positives 93 percent of the time? The Cape Crusaders is raising funds for The Covid Chronicles on Kickstarter! Our guest today is biochemical engineer Ivor Cummins, a leader who aims to iron out data creases and set the record straight. It’s an awful situation to be in. Ivor Cummins, who has devoted years to the study of the root causes of modern chronic disease, has been one of the best commentators and number crunchers on COVID-19. He has since spent over 25 years in corporate technical leadership and management positions. Lockdowns cause a large number of avoidable deaths, not only in the longterm from unemployment, poverty, and missed cancer screenings, but also in the short term, e.g., from suicide. PHE made the hopelessly unrealistic assumption that infected travellers who were symptomatic enough to test positive would not get on a plane in the first place and that only seven percent would become symptomatic in the course of the flight. IN CASE you missed Ivor Cummins’s hatchet job on the now infamous November 3 Witless and Unbalanced press conference that preceded and ‘justified’ the current lockdown imposed on us, we are for ease of access showing it here.

The trouble is that there are no easy answers this time. A rise in the number of excess deaths would be compelling evidence that the people dying “with COVID” had died of COVID and would not have died of anything else that year.

Ireland spent longer in lockdown than the UK and yet the Emerald Isle seems to have mysteriously avoided the lockdown deaths that have supposedly plagued Britain. A powerful video viewed more than 1 million times has drawn intense Twitter activity but not among Twitter users with blue-check validation. They can’t. And when blood tests showed liver problems – the very common issue fatty liver – Cummins set out to find the solution to the problem. The Office for National Statistics conducts a separate random weekly test which was reporting a prevalence rate of around 0.1 percent at the time. This would scarcely be worth worrying about if it were not spilling out into the real world. However, he claims that the epidemic began to die out naturally—soon after lockdown, but not because of it—making it appear that the lockdown itself was taking effect. That, too, will go on for weeks and, assuming you believe in germ theory and exponential growth, these figures would be much worse if we resumed normal social contact. But now, in the final months of this nightmare, the conversation among many of the noisiest lockdown sceptics has become decidedly cranky. Column Ad Nuis – Zijn demonstranten terroristen? I am a libertarian at a free market think tank who has spent most of his working life critiquing the excesses of the nanny state. Lockdowns don’t inhibit the spread of the virus in any meaningful way and therefore do not reduce the COVID death count. Excess mortality is a term used in epidemiology and public health that refers to the number of deaths from all causes during a crisis above and beyond what we would have expected to see under ‘normal’ conditions. Mirrored from Ivor Cummins, 1-5-2021 (5min). The core ingredients of this alternative theory are as follows: So long as you believe these five tenets, you have a theory with almost impregnable circular logic. It is trivial if it meant to tell us that lockdowns merely push the problem into the future, and wrong if it is meant to suggest that they do not reduce the infection rate. Fewer than a thousand tests a day were coming back positive in July, but by the time Yeadon’s article appeared, they were exceeding 5,000. I had hoped that we could muddle through with local restrictions, but the emergence in December of an extraordinarily infectious new strain put an end to that. Which brings me to how Covid 19 is discussed online, especially on Twitter. A simple scientific assessment of our country’s situation as we head into summer…, * NOTE THIS IS NOT CENSORABLE – as it is simply GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL DATA and SCIENTIFIC INFERENCE – it specifically does NOT discuss medical information etc. Some data simply don’t exist.

But we don’t live in that world, we live in this one. Misleading graphs and blatantly doctored images are circulated with abandon, spreading far beyond the hub of hardcore believers and planting doubt in the minds of normal people. They claim that the excess deaths were not caused by COVID-19, but by the lockdowns themselves. People in Pillar 2 are not tested randomly. Why do people still not realise the seriousness of this pandemic? smoking) as well as for people with obesity, this statistic could be extended by analysis of these factors. If a test produces a non-trivial rate of false positives, he wrote, and if testing is performed at random on a population with a very low prevalence of a disease, it is possible for the majority—or even all—of the positive results to be false. He assured viewers that the American spike was already on the wane. Another stroke of luck for the government is that last year happened to have the largest number of excess deaths since 1940. Perhaps it’s just a refusal to face the reality of agonising choices. The inability to absorb or even acknowledge the most basic facts is beyond anything I’ve seen before.

Gespiegeld van BlckbxTV, (subtitled EN/NL): Ivor Cummins, biochemisch ingenieur en specialist in complexe systemen, werd wereldberoemd met zijn video “Viral Issue, Crucial Update”. Twelve days after Cummins’s video went viral, Michael Yeadon, a former Pfizer scientist, wrote an article for the Lockdown Sceptics blog arguing that the vast majority of positive tests for SARS-CoV-2 were false.

Yeadon’s concerns, which had always been largely theoretical, were now irrelevant and would become more so as the number of cases rose in the autumn. It would be nice if the hospitals were empty and the hundreds of thousands of people being infected each week were false positives. Some sceptics believe that so few people have had COVID-19 that the IFR should be closer to 100 percent. Ireland has also suffered far fewer COVID-19 deaths, but that cannot be explained by their lengthier lockdowns because—you guessed it—lockdowns don’t work. ︎ YouTube - Ivor Cummins ︎ Social Media - Twitter & Facebook ︎ Website - https://thefatemperor.com ︎ Podcast - The Fat Emperor ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you like this and other AdapNation episodes, please don't forget to subscribe to the channel, as well as leaving a 5 star review and letting friends and family know of this Podcast on Social Media.

Bit suspicious, isn’t it? Dr. Stadler has decades of experience and a unique perspective on COVID-19, the worlds response, the inaccuracy of testing, and ineffectiveness of face masks. The number of tests performed each day had nearly doubled in this period, but that could not explain a fivefold increase in reported case numbers. The acid test of the casedemic theory is whether the number of people being hospitalised and dying with COVID-19 increases after the number of positive tests increases. Read the Great Barrington Declaration and listen to the 50,000 doctors and scientists who oppose lockdowns as a strategy to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic. If tens of thousands of deaths have been wrongly attributed to COVID-19, then we are left to wonder what it is about testing positive for SARS-CoV-2 that makes people so much more likely to die within 28 days? “The challenge,” he declared, “is that the false positive rate is very high. It is going to get worse for some time to come. In any case, they say, the rate of excess mortality is lower than it was in the spring and the current rate is not without historical precedent. Put another way, if every single positive test reported by the ONS was wrong—a far-fetched assumption—the false positive rate could not possibly be more than 0.1 percent.

People who are not used to dealing with statistics have been trying to familiarise themselves with concepts and figures they’ve never seen before and don’t properly understand. If you want a more invigorating take, you might be drawn to the Zero COVID strategy supported by “Independent” SAGE or the plan laid out in the the Great Barrington Declaration to shield the vulnerable and achieve herd immunity the old-fashioned way. Have you noticed how few flu deaths there are this year? Researcher Ivor Cummins offers data and insights to explain complex problem-solving leadership. This would obviously require more than 100 percent of the population to have had the virus and is a particularly odd claim coming from sceptics who believe that most cases are false positives. One possibility is that despite a drastic reduction in air travel and an unprecedented amount of social distancing, hand-washing, mask-wearing, and self-isolation, Britain is suffering from an exceptionally severe flu season, with flu deaths being wrongly classified as COVID-19 deaths by corrupt and/or incompetent doctors.

When good science is suppressed by the medical-political complex, people die Politicians and governments are suppressing science. It is an extreme form of motivated reasoning, the flip-side to which is total credulity when presented with claims that suggest that there is no problem, no trade-offs, no pandemic, only malevolent governments and elites who could end the nightmare any time they wanted, but prefer to terrify their populations and needlessly wreck their economies instead. COVID-19 has now killed more than 0.1 percent of the population in 20 countries, including Britain, but that has not stopped COVID sceptics claiming that the infection fatality rate (IFR) is 0.1 percent or lower. The logic behind lockdowns is difficult to refute. If we define lockdowns as laws commanding people to stay at home except for essential purposes, the claim that they don’t work is either trivial or wrong. For the same reason, most of the people who are counted as COVID-19 deaths were admitted for treatment of another illness which killed them, or just happened to die within 28 days of testing positive (by one official measure, any death within 28 days of a positive test is classified as a COVID death). The video, by Ivor Cummins, of Ireland, proves that “dry tinder” is a major factor in Covid mortality rates. Cummins, who has raised over £148,000 to make a documentary about “one man’s remarkable rise to prominence as a ‘go to’ COVID commentator,” is having to perform a particularly difficult balancing act as he seeks to reassure his fans that the second wave of COVID-19 is nothing more than the normal “winter resurgence” of seasonal viruses that he predicted. And so I reluctantly support this lockdown for the same reason I initially supported the first one, as a last resort. Ivor Cummins is a Biochemical Engineer who has become a thorn in the side of the establishment with his constant publication of data disproving the Covid narrative that we are being fed. His career specialty has been leading large worldwide teams in complex problem-solving activity. Since it is already known that covid 19 like all other respiratory diseases are more dangerous for people living in more polluted areas (or for people with polluted lungs by e.g. If the dangers of the virus were being overhyped by fearmongers, and lockdowns were entirely ineffective, then societies could reopen secure in the knowledge that there was nothing that could be done to reduce the death toll (which would, in any case, be a fraction of what we were told). COVID-19 is a bad disease that has been used to breathe new life into bad ideas. Some of them almost certainly weren’t. I think the 10pm curfew was counter-productive and the tier system was clumsy and unfair. Doubt is at the heart of this phenomenon, and it is being unscrupulously exploited. Paul Saladino MD and Engineer Ivor Cummins discuss COVID-19 Biochemical engineer and complex problem solving specialist discusses virus response with medical doctor in explosive interview. They do so to support innovation, to bring products to market at unprecedented speed. Strangely, Yeadon did not question the ONS figure and instead used it as the basis of his calculation. In total, there were 71,731 excess deaths in England last year and 76,610 people had COVID-19 mentioned on their death certificate. His followers and subscribers seem not to mind his failed predictions and general inconsistency. The claims made by Cummins, Yeadon, and other supposed authorities are demonstrably nonsensical and yet they are eagerly lapped up by an army of social media disciples who have adopted the yellow smiley face as a badge of their scepticism.
