Covid Sceptic

By (user no longer on site) OP     over a year ago

I've just become aware of this term and I've engaged in some frankly ridiculous conversations with an outright covid denier and it's made me curious as to why in times of uncertainty and/or fear that some people go to denial about the scale of a challenge, particularly one where there isn't an end in sight or an easy way out, and find comfort in denial or scepticism. I find it fascinating and frustrating in equal measure and was wondering if anyone else is getting frustrated with covid scepticism/denial?

In the same way some people run around shouting 'the sky is falling ' some people refuse to believe the virus is any different to other viruses and hence no more threatening.

As with any subject, people don't just fall on one side or the other, more some don't seem to want to land at all.

Part of the very colourful spectrum of society

Over one million deaths worldwide, directly attributed to Covid. Many more ill in varying degrees.

So which bit isn't real, then?

Every Year: 6.7 million die of hunger, 797 million have no access to clean water, 17 million die of heart disease.

So far this year 9.7 million from other communicable diseases (i.e. Viruses)

1.2 million by HIV/AIDS, 6.1 million from cancer, 11.8 million smoking, 1.8 million alcohol. The list goes on but we never get bent out of shape over all of these?

All of those preventable and treatable.

Honestly the whole thing reminds me of those post apocalyptic movies when there is a group of survivors and the lead character is trying their best to manage the situation and keep everyone happy but then you get a group of fucktards that start to mutiny because they got rationed 10g less pasta than the day before and you're screaming "Nooooo stop being a fucktard!!!" at the screen but they carry on doing shit things and set off like an avalanche or some shit and people die so they finally realise they were being fucktards but by then it's too late.

On the contrary, I am more frustrated with the hysteria and paranoia. It is causing way more devastation than the virus, some of it permanent. The response is disproportionate.

Yes there is, 45% of men with prostate cancer die of other causes so officially only 12000 men a year die of prostate cancer but 20000 die with it.

"Can someone please explain Sweden to me please?"

Yeah, they did not have a government/scientific elite which employed overt scare tactics, so they had a calm and reasoned response and mostly voluntary restrictions which they followed. Older members of society at large shielded themselves, but they kept their children in school, and businesses open, so while their death rate was fairly high neither their society nor economy was decimated, and so they are further towards herd immunity than other nations, and living life cautiously, but freely.

I somehow doubt they will have as many thousands of unnecessary deaths from the total shutting down of their health system either - untreated cancer and the like.

Has anyone estimated these? I bet they will be 10 times the Covid death toll this winter if we don't develop a sense of perspective sharpish.

Are you saying that not enough people are dying? Or are you saying that we should only be concerned about the single biggest cause of death?

I personally think that there is a big point that is being missed in this type of narrative: The World is in lockdown, and STILL over a million people have died.

Saying that it isn't a bad as all these other things is just missing the point.

Also, I personally think that the point people should be making is that 6.7 million people have died of starvation - wh should do something about that, 800 million people have died through lack of access to clean water - We should do something about that, 800 thousand have committed suicide, we should do something about.

Obviously though these red flags that many are waving don't stop these people from going out to the pub or shagging strangers, so they are not important enough to tackle... they just make a convenient EXCUSE for not doing the right thing.

I have issues with the scare tactics and the way the data is manipulated......yes there are more positive cases at the minute, but we are testing 10x the people now. Should the positive tests be shown as a % of the overall tests taken. Also the deaths shown are where the deaths occur within 28 days of a positive test.....

If i was diagnosed as having Covid, then decided to parachute out of a plane. If that parachute never opened, i would still count in the Covid death total, which i find bizarre

Plus cases rising again and Anders Tegnell getting worried. Annoys me that some people think Sweden didn't do anything at all in response to the virus.

"Can someone please explain Sweden to me please?"

Sweden didn't mandate a lockdown like many countries and are often held up as an example by countries who have had high infection & death rates as proof that lockdown was not required. In reality, even though Sweden's outcomes were better than the UK's, they were actually MUCH WORSE than it's neighbouring countries.

Contrary to common belief Sweden actually DID lockdown but it wasn't mandatory like most others, it was a voluntary action. It's also not true that their economy was unaffected, with a 25% reduction in spending (only slightly better than it's neighbour Denmark who enforced a lockdown) and a 60% reduction in domestic travel.

The human mind is always trying to make sense of the world in which we live. At times our minds interpretation means we see things that are not there. In today’s society small delusions become self reinforcing, strongly held beliefs. Minds seek out and consume material produced by others with similar delusions whilst becoming increasingly blind to anything that contradicts with their views.

Some will be, but it’s more likely covid sceptics are just fearful people, who are more scared than usual.

It’s not a coincidence that most seem to also believe every other obvious delusion doing the rounds, whether it’s chemtrails, 5G, anti-vaccine, Bill Gates / George Soros / whoever has a secret plan - if it’s clearly and observably false, they’re on it.

All we can really do is ignore them - unfortunately in the internet age, there are plenty who seek to profit from the scared and gullible. It’s the modern medicine show, and ’covid sceptics’ are the marks.

It's a country in Europe

They also have Covid

Fortunately they have enough respect and common sense to be allowed to go about their business whilst obeying basic rules to limit the spread of the virus

They also have a lot of sick people and many have died

This is opposed to the UK where far too many people don't give a flying fk about rules and Covid. We have a lot more sick and dead people

Got it ?

"Honestly the whole thing reminds me of those post apocalyptic movies when there is a group of survivors and the lead character is trying their best to manage the situation and keep everyone happy but then you get a group of fucktards that start to mutiny because they got rationed 10g less pasta than the day before and you're screaming "Nooooo stop being a fucktard!!!" at the screen but they carry on doing shit things and set off like an avalanche or some shit and people die so they finally realise they were being fucktards but by then it's too late. You know what I mean? "

No to question the government and having doubts about things is normal.

Coming up with crazy ideas about 5g mast's, and so on isn't.

I keep promising myself not to come on here but I read thing's and think "what the fuck".

So everyone who has come on here and posted various types of theories and opinions about so called"covid lies" some saying they have been researching this and vaccines for years and know for a fact it's all a cover-up.

Then I put this forward now to everyone who thinks this way.

Prove it!

Come on here, and give us all 100% undeniable proof with factual information backed up by many reliable and trustworthy sources not just nonsense statistics.

Prove it!

Please because I am a reasonable person,I'll listen to a reasonable and intelligent conversation.

Prove it !

My experience of these people is that they consider themselves highly intelligent and that is why only they can see the truth. When you engage and ask for proof, it is unbelievably twisted in its logic. Then there are the others who just don't want their freedom curtailed so spout these justifications but don't really believe them

Some minds want simple answers and holding the view that it's fake doesn't tax their brains as much as establishing an understanding of the whole matter that's got a fair degree of complexity. When they can only hold black or white perspectives, some grey is a big issue for them. And having others to blame for their little minds' unwillingness to cope with complexity means they'll never have to feel discomforting emotions, which having low emotional intelligence makes them averse to. Their inferiority drives behaviour which gives a comfort blanket for the little ones to try to assume some superiority.

Facing reality can be very difficult and denial is often the response...a way of giving meaning to meaninglessness...most people do it in some shape or form in their lives...it becomes a real problem when it endangers lives like it’s doing right now...people are dying in their thousands so please please folks wake up and help each other...unity is strength

"Over one million deaths worldwide, directly attributed to Covid. Many more ill in varying degrees.

So which bit isn't real, then?

Every Year: 6.7 million die of hunger, 797 million have no access to clean water, 17 million die of heart disease.

So far this year 9.7 million from other communicable diseases (i.e. Viruses)

1.2 million by HIV/AIDS, 6.1 million from cancer, 11.8 million smoking, 1.8 million alcohol. The list goes on but we never get bent out of shape over all of these?"

I have as much problem with the virus is the ‘Black Death’ brigade, most of us by now have probably had it without knowing.

The government has never pushed the anti-body test as they are scared of the numbers that might come back and the population saying ‘fuck you’ ive had it I’m moving on with my life.

I believe I had it Christmas 2019 and was really ill, it’s only recently that I had an anti-body test as I started a new job that it confirmed I have anti-bodies do must have had it, but I will still have to have the vaccine, which is what we all need to get out of this mess !

"I've just become aware of this term and I've engaged in some frankly ridiculous conversations with an outright covid denier and it's made me curious as to why in times of uncertainty and/or fear that some people go to denial about the scale of a challenge, particularly one where there isn't an end in sight or an easy way out, and find comfort in denial or scepticism. I find it fascinating and frustrating in equal measure and was wondering if anyone else is getting frustrated with covid scepticism/denial?"

It's because:

It's inconvenient to them.

It obviously doesn't apply to them.

It's a Political Stance.

There is money to be made.

They are just plain old stupid.

Some people don’t believe it’s as bad as they being told

Coz some of the data doesn’t add up

Also if a group of people took vaccine they still can’t mix so what the big headlines if their not sure if can catch it or spread it also nothing in news about the welsh nurse that had covid when was better had the jab then after caught covid and died

Plus some people don’t believe everything they been told

They are NEARLY onto something. Skepticism is good - its what moves science forwards - now they need to use that mentality to look at the data and collection of that data. Eventually they will hit upon the truth....maybe by accident even!

Here's something to ponder. What if the situation is worse than reported? What if we aren't being told the whole truth because it's worse and would cause panic? What if there were friends who work on govt advisory boards who shared some insight.

Something I've never understood. Would you mind trying to explain why it's so important to you that someones death has been caused exclusively by covid and only covid than death triggered by covid or with covid.? I fail to see why it's relevant.

Died OF covid means that covid was the cause of death (or likely cause of death).

Died WITH covid means they could have died for example in a car crash and just happened to have covid when they died. In other words covid was not the cause of death.

Whether relevant or not depends on what you're measuring.

It may not be the whole reason it's not all revealed. Calculations this week showed that actual infection numbers in many areas are 4 or 5 times higher than have been revealed via test numbers.

That many low paid can't afford to miss work and wages, thete is a financial reason that some may not test too. And the asymptomatic have not been tested, thus ignoring a huge proportion of infection numbers

Yep so hears another question that I thought I knew the answer to.... But I believe the science had changed recently. Asymptomatic infections don't spread to others. The source I read was the bmj from a few weeks ago. Now until that revelation I'd always assume asymptomatic were spreaders as well... But the paper in the bmj appears to say they aren't. Any experts on here that can clarify from science rather than Facebook much appreciated.

Is this because the variant they have is not infectious or is it because the host has already developed advanced antibodies to protect itself?

Or is this deduction because asymptomatic people don't cough and sneeze and therefore don't spread it as easily?

Whilst in the early days Sweden was seen as the perfect model, statistically more recently it hasn’t worked there either.

As of yesterday Sweden had a death rate of 954 per million of population. By comparison UK is 1222, Spain 1127, France 1053, Italy 1321. By contrast Germany is 517. So having a death rate of approximately 20% less than the UK is hardly a success. Germany by comparison has had very strict measures in place throughout.

Sweden does have a population of only 10M so any deaths will inflate the death rate quickly but Portugal is also 10M and has a death rate of 794 so you cannot ignore the statistics just because it’s a smallish population.

I dont know... I'll try and attach the link to the science for you to read. It seemed to look at families where one was infected by asymptomatic and the fact that Co habitants did not test positive.

https://www.bmj.com/content/371/bmj.m4851

It's only one paper but I juts wondered as it's from a reputable source if it is just an outlier piece of research or if it has merit.

so why have they not been prevented then? know one cares because the tv is not ramming down their neck everyday and it's not on their door step and dose not effect them directly, and in fact because we reap the benefits from the exploitation of those who suffer, we take the "see and blind, hear and def" three monkeys attitude. shits landed on the door step now and it's real and that's why people are writing posts like this due to fear
