Cases, cases cases. The UK media is wretched. Here’s an example of the kind of bullshit we’ve become accustomed to hearing from broadcasters:
“There were 45,000 new covid cases yesterday. That’s an increase of 11,000 on the day before. The NHS is in danger of being overwhelmed. The Labour Party wants the government to implement Plan B. Some scientists want to see a return to working from home, mandatory face-coverings and vaccine passports. The Health Secretary says he is leaning towards mandating jabs for NHS workers.”
The fucking media eh? What does 45,00 cases mean? How does it break down? How many of those “cases” were in asymptomatic people? How many were mildly ill for a day, three days or a week?
How many needed to see a doctor but were told to go home and drink plenty of fluids and take three tablespoons of Robitussin? How many were taken to hospital for oxygen and then sent home? How many were admitted for a few days? How many were placed in intensive care? How many were intubated? How many died?
What the fuck does 45,00 cases mean exactly?
The collective UK media has moved mountains during the course of the past eighteen months to ensure that you do not get that information. It is the ONLY information that actually matters. Not a single presenter on local or national television or radio, has had the balls to call it out.
This is because the answer to that most fundamental of questions, would surely bring down the whole shitshow.
This is the reason the government and the NHS continues to refuse to publish the entirety of the data.
Remember, last week Professor Sir Andrew Pollard, a developer of the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine, said:
“The daily reporting is picking up a lot of people who were admitted to hospital for other reasons but have been positive in the last month.”
He went on to say:
“If someone’s admitted for appendicitis or a road traffic accident and they’re positive, they will appear in the daily numbers and certainly with the deaths.”
Do you know what the media’s response to Pollard’s comments was?
“Please disperse. There is nothing to see here. Nothing to see here PLEASE!”
Compel them to publish data on every single positive case and it’s game over. It really is.
