Riaan, you’re being trolled. This individual knows exactly what you were alluding too all along. Don’t fall for it. And even if this individual is as clueless as they claim, it is as you rightly say, their own responsibility to be curious and investigate a “truth.” The whole, ‘pass me a citation’ thing when one speaks of general knowledge is how some, bizarrely, attempt to claim intellectual superiority over the individual that can’t rapidly produce a citation. As if asking for a citation is a signal that they have done research, or are very discriminating in what sources they trust to believe outright.

I generally believe that no source should be trusted outright, but I also don’t hide behind someone’s inability to do my research for me as a sign of intellect.

After someone has been well indoctrinated by many years of television programming, it is easy to understand that they are easy to trigger with keywords and have vast experience with fomenting an entire scenario from a few of them.

It is a fool's game to assume that someone whose last television was stolen in 1987 would be as susceptible to keywords as someone who owns and watches a smartphone and a flat panel television more hours than they sleep.

This was an issue with the old wood gasification engines. Germans were running generators converted to run off wood gas, but lacked proper ventilation. Lots of carbon monoxide poisonings. Ended up making wood gas generators become obsolete…well one of the reasons.

Yesterday I had an appointment with a bone specialist in a hospital and came out of there depressed ,mad and mentally damaged . I was only in for about 2 hours ,because of a broken shoulder bone .The masking in there is not only keeping evil spirits away but any one with a bit of sanity left over, from almost three years of insanity .Hospitals are about the worst place one can enter ,besides prisons .I believe if I would go there with anything flu I would not come out alive . My brother did go in there with what he thought was a flu and was dead after 6 days of treatment with remdesivir .ventilators and heavy sedation .I did not know that he went there because we live 800 km.apart and no one told me what went on there ,only after his death when it was too late .I would have done every thing to keep him out of that killing place .I would never go there with any thing flu or cold ,one gets taken prisoner sedated and killed for a large pay off to the hospital .

Actually, it's very clever.

Think about it this way: the C0VID scam makes money for the MSM's benefactors, Big Pharma. Big Pharma then transfers that money to the MSM.

The people in the hospitals continue to be "heroes," and have enough time to make Tik Tok dance videos. Lots of people die for various reasons because they're not getting treated; many of those are elderly, so they're on the government payroll. If they die, it's a bonus for the government.

The government also gets to play (pardon the expression) Hitler by controlling every single thing that people do; what they put into their bodies, when they leave their house, who works, who does not work and so on. They have completely control, and they like that.

So really, it's quite clever. Bring in tyranny under the guise of safety. A stab in the back while in the embrace of a warm hug.

I don't know what level in Dante's Purgatory we are in exactly- but there appears to be a new one. It's hospitals and "health officials" restricting basic hospital functions while collecting huge government bail outs. These restrictions limit necessary operations, treatment and screening that saves lives, permanently limiting lifespans. I had a really nasty cancer in May of this year, and getting into the hospital for my operation with a specialist was one of the most challenging parts of the story. It's hard to describe the absolute disconnect of your fight between life and death and the absolute disregard for life and death that you see up close in the hospital. I don't think my "reality" will ever be the same again.

but they are lazy. they just go along because on the weekend they can spend time in their garden or in the restaurant. they get their shots and tests only to not be bothered.

Eugyppius, did you hear about Lauterbach's presser with Stokowski? I was speechless...either he is a secret subversive agent out to smash the covid narrative once and for all, or he is clearly [edited for self-protection, apparently he's suing somebody who called him a "pisser" on twitter].

For those of you who haven't heard...he is starting a new vaccination campaign; now, the whole idea has been reduced to "I protect myself" and he spent between 32 and 79 million euros on posters showing portraits of 84 people who got vaccinated "to protect themselves" - and at the presser he turned up with Margarete Stokowski, a journalist, who sat there telling the world that she has been vaccinated three times, got long covid after the booster shot and has been ill since them. The woman has been battling depression for years (according to her own tweets) and has never been the picture of (mental) health; needless to say, this little fact was omitted.

Stokowski was asked how this could happen. She said: ""Klar hätte ich mir gewünscht, dass mich die Impfung davor schützt. Aber ich weiß nicht, wie es mir ginge ohne Impfung, von daher würde ich trotzdem allen raten, sich impfen zu lassen." - "Of course I would have wished for the vaccine to protect me. But I don't know how I would be doing without the vaccine, so I would recommed that everybody get their shots."

To sum up:

"I was vaccinated three times - I got long covid after three vaccinations - please get vaccinated."

The number of beds in the UK NHS has been significantly reduced and ongoing for over 30 years. This is attributed to it being wholly State run and funded, but the same is true in France which is part State run and funded, and apparently it is so in Germany which has a similar system to France. However UK does have fewer beds per capita than France and Germany. It seems at odds with an increasing elder population plus advances in treatment requiring more bed space not less.

Of course the Government sticks its nose in whatever the medical care system, so it cannot be ruled out as the common factor. I do believe the lockdown - in part - was an attempt to disguise the lack of medical facilities. The hospitals were never over-run, and paradoxically had more empty beds than at normal times.

But another factor we are not allowed to mention is the millions of immigrants flooding UK and Europe all of whom need accommodation, welfare and medical care and for whom there are no jobs as they do not have the education or skills needed in developed, industrial,sicieties. All resources are scarce and this alone is putting a huge strain on public services. But even that doesn’t really explain the chronic run-down of meducql facilities. What is being planned for us?

Every field hospital that was built via CARES Act money in April of 2020 was torn down by early summer 2020. They knew even then the hospitals would not be overwhelmed. Let that sink in.

Kinda looks like just a huge money laundering scheme.

Catherine Austin Fitts discusses how war is money laundering n her interviews. Taxpayers money funnel into private off the books projects. Kind of like how the mafia worked. Julian assange expressed similar ideas.

Here in Washington, Inslee stated hospitals wouldn't be overwhelmed on April 8 2020, when the Century Link Emergency Hospital was set to be dismantled.

We stayed in lockdown for 15 more months.

Edit: As an added bonus, we LOST 10% hospital capacity thanks to Inslee's idiot vax mandate. Luckily he had to back off mandating the booster -- for now.

And they could have been used as isolation hospitals instead of putting infectious cases along the general hospital population, making hospitals centres of disease incubation and spread.

Can’t speak for elsewhere, but in Texas it isn’t that we need more hospitals. There’s a staff shortage and that is the limiting variable. Too bad they fired the “refuseniks.”

Also, they laid off a lot of staff (due to halting routine care), many of whom either then changed industries or just quit medicine entirely. Many in California had to quit to take care of children who couldn't go to school for years.

Plus an inordinate number of medical professionals are vax injured or dying from vax. Hearing countless stories - not just from Canada but locally - I’m also in Texas. Heart attacks, strokes and turbo cancers - particularly of the brain. Most doctors just blindly boost without question. The second boost - fourth shot - causing a lot of harm particularly to the younger medical professionals.

I know someone who works among medical professionals. He said they all just simultaneously received their flu shots, and now -- surprise, surprise -- they are all unwell. Still showing up to work, and visibly unwell, no doubt spreading their germs and expressing gratitude that “it would be so much worse without the shot.”

It’s a vicious circle. They’re short-staffed, and those remaining are overworked. They leave as soon as they can, aggravating the problem.

Not just Texas. Here (UK & Europe) obsession with testing staff and self-isolation if positive or in contact with a positive case is putting mostkg healthy staff at home instead of at work. There is the fall out from mandatory jabs too, with a significant number resigning.

Why build more hospitals ,so they can kill you with sedation ,Remdesivir and ventilators .My brother went to a hospital because of a flu and was dead 6 days later .The buildings in Auschwitz are still standing ,why not open them for business again ? I believe Bill Gates will pay for renovations and more ovens .

The hospital crisis isn’t about CoVid cases, and was present before. It happens every Winter when ‘flu cases start taking up hospital beds. Other cases are then displaced. It’s just on previous years except for occasional Bewspaoercheadlins nobody really took any notice.

Or improve the pay and working conditions of medical staff. There were many resignation in the last 2 years, but this has been coming for a while now.

I think many people got out of the medical field because they didn't want to take the poison death jab, while others see what is going on, and can't stomach recommending the poison death jab even though their state requires that they must do so.

I took a screenshot a while back of a post on fb that perfectly depicts the insanity. (It was in a group of long haulers who share what’s working -- or not-- to improve/remedy covid long haul symptoms.)

The member gave this scenario looking for advice: her vaccinated husband had died of covid19. Her current boyfriend is a healthcare worker who is fully vaccinated/boosted, has had covid19 FIVE TIMES, and has now just also been diagnosed with lupus.

There’s no remedy for this lunacy.

The lunacy is her husband has been dead less than a year in all probability and she already has a boyfriend. Oh, and he is terribly unhealthy. Does she go manhunting in the assisted living facilities?

Costa coffe in town finally took down their plexiglass barrier, the staff are ecstatic, atthe local GP surgery masks came off last Monday. Currently we don’t know a single person with COVID here in Devon, but maybe once the boosters kick in, we will? It is a shame, when things were on the cusp of normality, bah bah boom, Germany and probably other bought and paid for countries begin their autumn fearmongering, cases dangerously high, everyone dying, masks a must, boosters , GET YOURS. Hopefully covid fatigue is setting in with more and more people and they have had enough of the nonsense. At least, I hope so.
