As a number of countries seek to focus the discussion on further coercive measures and even mandatory vaccination, PANDA is increasingly aware of the elephants in the room, the topics no one is talking about.
Let's not lose sight of the big picture. pandata.org/elephants-in-t…

PANDA opposes "universal mask mandates". The benefit of mask wearing in healthy individuals has not been demonstrated and the harms are great, especially to our children.
The President of South Africa appeared on national TV to tell some lies in support of perpetuating destructive Covid malarkey. Out came the old chestnut that data support the effectiveness of past measures. Where is this magic data? 2/12 frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…
Similarly, that masks we are supposedly not wearing (though no data supports that allegation) have this magical property of preventing infection, again based on “data” that we are not privy to. Maskology. 3/12 acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/M2…
Excess Deaths has become a popular way, globally, to assess the overall changes in reported deaths this year relative to what was expected this year. We are also watching the data with interest in South Africa.
In layman’s terms, excess deaths are the difference between reported deaths and expected deaths. For the reporting period 6 May to 7 July 2020, the total excess deaths amount to 3,159 deaths.
During the same period, the reported COVID-19 deaths in South Africa amounted to 3,354 deaths. This suggests that the reported deaths and excess deaths are in broad alignment.
