The non stop 24/7 national media campaign of fear is actually causing as much damage to our society as any virus.
While accepting people have passed and others have become very ill and I offer my condolences and respect to the involved families, we must now accept the recovery rate is over 99 percent
Something you will note never appears to get a mention in the controlled daily media briefings.
I believe other agendas are hard at work and the virus has become an essential tool in furthering these agendas.
This is no longer acceptable to me as a free thinking Irish citizen.
I now commit to the underwritten principles and would ask as many like minded individuals as possible to follow suit.
We have now been robbed of 6 months of our lives ... that's 6 months we will never get back. We are systematically being stripped of our basic rights and freedoms ... proof is emerging that we have been lied to and deceived by our elected (and non-elected) leaders. I believe it's time to exercise our right to say "No". I am concerned that people are being labelled conspiracy theorists, simply because they question certain government, corporate and industrial motives, or because they question the arbitrary laws that revoke our basic human rights. I do not consent to the Government making decisions about my health. They were elected to serve, not control me. I do not consent to living in a police state. I do not consent to the extreme censorship that is taking place on social media platforms toward doctors, scientists and activists, who present and uphold valid data that challenges the 'official narrative' the media would have us believe. This concerns me far more than the virus. I do not consent to the tracking and tracing of citizens. I do not consent to Government making decisions without a democratic process. I do not consent to Politicians, or any other individuals, who are compromised by having a lucrative 'financial interest' in the Pharmaceutical Industry, making decisions about my health and wellbeing. I do not consent to being told that all these decisions are for my own safety.I
I do not consent to censoring free speech under the guise of protecting me from the spread of misinformation. I do not consent to the closing of small businesses while multi-million dollar companies remain open. I do not consent to being labelled an 'anti-vaxxer', simply because I have concerns about Mandatory, enforced vaccines or rushed procedures, without proper protocols - especially high risk ones, with limited testing that are deemed highly profitable to the most questionable of interests. I do not consent to the amount of division and hatred that is being encouraged between friends and families, simply for upholding opposing beliefs, or for speaking openly about what They believe. I do not consent to the idea that pharmaceuticals and vaccines are the Only way to prevent or heal from illness ... the outright dismissal of good nutrition and natural prevention and therapies is highly questionable from my perspective. I do not consent to the media only covering fraudulent and misleading 'case' counts, or grossly exaggerated death counts, when the survival rate is immensely higher. Fear cripples immunity, so why aren't we talking about the excellent (99.9%) recovery rates, successful treatments and therapies? I do not consent to the lack of care and consideration for 'non-Covid' patients, who have been denied access to essential treatments, consultations and surgeries for Cancer, Cardio-vascular and other life threatening conditions. Their lives matter too!!! I don't consent to 'House Arrests' and Lock Downs ... staying home doesn’t protect against domestic violence, sexual abuse, depression, anxiety, starvation and suicide; all of which are costing many more lives than the virus.Here's what I Do consent to:
Being a free and critical thinker. A parent, who is protecting the future of all children. An individual who cares about tomorrow... someone who understands the connection between the health of our planet and our own health. A caring person, who will never stop fighting injustice and tyranny ... or questioning and condemning the lies and manipulation of the Government and the Media. We all come into this world with nothing and we'll leave with nothing... the bit in the middle is called Life ... life is a precious gift from our Make r... none of us know how long that gift will last, so make the most of every second, every minute and every hour of every day ... live, love, take chances, not orders ... be kind, be tolerant and be happy... don't waste another second waiting for things to change... Be The Change

The last time I heard someone complaining of the 24hour news cycle was a priest in Donegal lamenting over the non-stop pressure the Church was under over the Ryan report.
ReplyDeleteThe vast majority who get the virus will recover and suffer with only a mild illness that's true, but when you work the numbers the rate of hospitilizations that accrue using any of these datasets show that the healthcare systems simply could'nt cope with the influx. It's for this simple reason why Governments around the world panicked and rightly so.
Imagine if they just let it run amok? Not only would the healthcare systems have to deal with the virus but also the run of the mill day to day car accidents, workplace injuries, childhood mishaps and a plethora of the usual banal maladies that result in presentation to hospitals.
The hospitals simply couldn't cope with those numbers, then you are really in the shit. This virus would be uncontained by social distancing and rip right through the worlds population on a scale similar to the Spanish flu, which is still with us by the way, it's just called the seasonal flu epidemic.
Not every action by Governmemt is tyranny nor incompetence. Sometimes they actually listen to the epidemiologists, virologists and decide they know what they are talking about. I hate the lockdown too, but I love people more, even the daft ones who don't get it.
Like Steve I tend to think we need to comply with the guidelines
ReplyDeleteIts all too easy to invoke our 'rights' to back up whatever cause we may happen to be pursuing or whatever campaign we may be promoting
However Gerry needs a gentle reminder that all parties to the social contract have obligations
Galway Bay FM yesterday reported a cluster of 16 cases in Oranmore
And whereas Gerry has every right to voice dissent I'd urge compliance with the guidelines
I've said from early into this that it won't be fully understood until a couple of years hence And until we have accurate contrary information or a vaccine citizens ought rigorously follow the guidelines
Lockdown was to take the pressure of the NHS. The goalposts have been moved into something more political. Anybody that thinks that hospitals have been flat out these last few months is seriously misguided. But on the upside I reckon the coroniebalonie will wipe out cases of flu this winter, just like it did in March!
