Death merchants on manuovers again

One declares pandemic over
Other says herd immunity is constant reinfection throughout society to protect the vulnerable

How is constant reinfection immunity?
How does the virus know to avoid the vulnerable?

2/ Right let's take a look at Guptas article

Covid "has stubbornly resisted all attempts at eradication"

NO!

Many governments at Guptas urging have resisted attempting eradication

And its not endemic

3/ The GBD crowd have literally done all they can to undermine any attempt at suppression, even going as far as to team up with antivaxxers, supporting them to pump out disinformation

4/ This has also included using all sorts of dirty tricks

Bots and troll networks pushing the messaging
Targeted harassment and attempts to silence critics
Misrepresentation of data

Claiming the world tried eradication and failed is very misleading

5/ Already had the key paragraph, a whole essay could be written on it

Well we wondered what "focused protection" actually consisted off, and now we know, apparently its constantly reinfection 🤷‍♂️

6/ The best way of making your house fireproof is to burn it down

What happened to this broader superior natural infection we kept hearing about?

Also didn't they argue masks and lockdowns don't stop infection, but now they prevent ppl building up immunity from infections?

7/ How does this protect the immunicompromised, those undergoing cancer treatment or organ transplant recipients?

Those unlikely to produce good antibody levels after infection,

8/ Self isolation causes immense disruption..

If transmission is high as Gupta calls for, even without self isolation we would still face disruption because plenty of ppl will be too sick to go to work

Plenty staff and students in my school who ended off longer than 10 days

9/ Completely ignores the disruption #LongCovid causes, I've got colleagues and students struggling and missing days off schools

Ending isolation doesn't end disruption

10/ Also the idea that any attempt to limit the spread is what we do with other viruses, dont we do all we can to keep all bugs out of hospitals and care homes?

11/ Unless we have unlimited speed of infection the vulnerable won't be able to build up the complete immunity that allows them to be constantly reinfected?

I assume this is the vulnerable who survive to reach "complete immunity"

But don't characterise this as "let it rip"...

12/ Reminds me of Dingwall in March 2020 saying "I'm not suggesting a cull" before going on to suggest a cull

Its opposites day!

13/ We can't have an endless cycle of testing and isolation, so must accept constant reinfection?

This is protecting the sick and vulnerable apparently

Otherwise only the rich can afford to self isolate...unless governments improved sick pay, perhaps by taking the rich?

14/ Oh so now its a myth viruses evole to become less virulent?

Any of the GBD crowd ever propagated this myth?

But she's saying we can gamble everything on it not becoming more virulent?

15/ Johnsons decision to remove measures and plans to declare pandemic over in March was to appease his backbenchers

Guptas opaquely funded Collateral Global is the secretariat of the new Skeptic APPG so she's pushing this agenda
bylinetimes.com/2021/10/07/fou…

16/ The APPG has written to the JCVI calling for a halt to vaccinating children

https://twitter.com/karamballes/status/1480162284538318848?t=19EBmbNUXq3DjJjqPFkjFw&s=19

17/ Not just do these MPs want to remove the choice of vaccination from parents but with UsForThem they are trying to ban the choice of wearing masks in schools, seems they have a hot line to @nadhimzahawi who is contacting schools today

https://twitter.com/karamballes/status/1484428301561126912?t=19EBmbNUXq3DjJjqPFkjFw&s=19

18/ UsForThem, HART, Collateral Global, GBD and CRG

All in it together, a multiple headed hydra

https://twitter.com/karamballes/status/1420040653434675206?t=UcL4kIiY47UFUp9GiOjxIg&s=19

INQUIRY NOW!

20/ Now it turns out the same fringe scientists are pushing antivax in Uganda

These are the ppl embraced by Tory MPs, the Telegraph, Express, TalkRadio, GB News etc

#DeathCult

21/ All around the world the GBD message seems intertwined with dangerous disinformation

You don't need to get the majority of ppl onside, target media and politicians and you exert policy influence
