Conspiracy Theories - The new Utterly Ridiculous Thread or is it?

Come on over then! There's a few thousand miles of border, I reckon you could pick a spot and run over. Sure, it's a bit further than you're used to running but to offer you a bit of incentive I'll put the beers on.

Sooooooo Tempting alas "Man fined $35,000 for travelling to Byron Bay with COVID-infected father, sparking lockdown" or similar would kick my bank balance and the xmas forcast in Perth might need a few Beers plus A spare bunk on a warship might work?
Perth weather delivering Christmas scorcher, with forecast of 42 degrees

3 days of heaven I do draw the line at running above 35 Tried just once in Perth in 43 degrees and found the error of my ways in a lot less than a kilometre in about 1989 I think. I happily retreated to the shade after hosing myself off in Cloverdale

Everyone is entitled to their “rights” and freedoms;
Except where their rights and freedoms intrude upon those of others.

Just as everyone is entitled to an opinion.
Where an opinion is something that has facts to support for or against - someone’s opinion is Wrong! (They’re still entitled to it)

In the case of ANYBODY using their rights/freedoms/opinions that then incur cost to others - eg. where a medical treatment (say a vaccine) was available and not utilised for non-medical reasons - that person, assuming they survive, should incur full medical costs. And if they don’t survive it should come from the estate.

Glad we've cleared that up....

Fascinating, Mike. So, just who judges that? You? Dr Faucci? The demented idiot in the White House? Daniel Andrews? The medical people here in Victoria losing their jobs because they don't agree with you? Ambos, Cops, Fieries? Doctors, nurses? It's happening here Mike.

Do you, or have you ever smoked? Do you, or have you ever drunk alcohol? Do you, or have you ever injected drugs? Do you, or have you ever used a tanning salon? Do you, or have you ever inhaled fumes from soldering or welding? Do you, or have you ever work with asbestos. ALL of the above are far more deadly than this virus, and nobody suggests denying sufferers medical help as to do so would be obscene. Australia has been at the forefront in supporting communities with cholera, ebola and HIV, but we cannot do the same with this? Do you REALLY mean that?

Sorry James, that point is really indefensible. "ALL of the above are potentially as deadly as this virus" is likely more accurate, unless you are suggesting that nobody has died as a direct result of contracting COVID.

I personally knew at least one person who has died as a probabilistic result of each of those (bar soldering/welding fumes. Never heard of that one unless they were welding chlorinated solvents and made phosgene). Some more probable than others. I knew 3 people who died as a direct complication of contracting COVID. Not probable, but certain and verified by post mortem. One of pneumonia, one of cardio vascular failure and one from multiple organ failure caused by inflammation of the endothelial cells.

For one thing, I am not James.

The cases you mention, sad as they are, were there any co-morbidity factors??

I think that this has gone far enough for me. I said many posts ago that this was problematic and should be in CA. I was ignored, and attacked by someone who should know better. You are all entitled to your opinion. But so am I. I'm done with this topic.

Sorry John, brain-fade.

Unfortunately not. The most conclusive was the multiple organ failure, where the inflammation of the endothelial cells caused shredding of the blood cells, blocking capillaries in the organs. In another context this is known as "Thrombotic microangiopathy" and is a complication post bone marrow transplant (thus my particular interest in that one). In COVID victims its caused by an out of control immune response known as the "Cytokine storm". That was pretty conclusive.

Still, you said you're done so I've removed your nick from the quote tags so you don't get the quote PM. Again, reasoned dispassionate debate where I managed to start by calling you someone else. I'm not attacking you, but when you post that pretty much everything is more deadly than COVID, I'd be happy to argue the toss. Feel free to ignore this post.

On the topic of COVID though, do try to keep away from it, there is significant medical evidence that it's a life limiting disease, even if it doesn't kill you out of the gate.

if you think I get my info from crap social media sites then you are very much mistaken Gav. And no amount of shouting from you or anyone else will cause me to change my mind. The number of fit, healthy young athletes collapsing from heart failure after getting the jab is seriously disturbing, but the MSM doesn’t tell you about that.
As for slowing things down, what garbage. My status has no effect on you whatsoever. And “grow up”? It’s mature to make my own choices. It’s immature to be a sheep. In NSW, as of March 15, vax status will be irrelevant and you will not be asked. They have decided that the virus is something that they must live with. Now THAT is grown up.

EDIT: I have to add, if you had actually read my post rather than just seeing red, you would have seen that I wasn't bleating about anything. I wasn't complaining about the jab. I was merely stating my wish that people desist from sneering at those they disagree with.

It's also a little disappointing that you. a Moderator ffs, should resort to such an attack on an individual, especially one who actually likes you.

Not sure why you think my rant was aimed at you directly, it wasn’t. And I’m still allowed an opinion even as a Mod.

[Homestar]

The science is settled, hey Gav?? Worked well for Rudd.

You said in your original reply to my post you don’t use social media for your info yet post 3 YouTube videos that confirm your bias - hmmmm.

There's a theory that suggests that for every protester there are ten who agree. I am proud to say that I was there. And frankly, I don't give a **** what some people, who should know better, think.






There is a Norwegian cruise ship, somewhere off the coast of Louisiana, with 3200 fully vaccinated people on board, with multiple cases among them. Vaccines worked for them, right?

It is a fair call to point out omicron can infect double vaccinated. Happily that is with out many going on to seroiur illness and hospitalization - To argue other wise belongs in Conspiracy Plus.

On myocarditis and pericarditis - <40 in a million have been seen. Usually easily treatable and fully recoverable link to TGA data
Did you know the day to day rates of myocarditis? n the United States and other developed countries, viral infections are most frequently the cause of myocarditis. In developing countries, rheumatic carditis, Chagas disease, and complications related to advanced HIV/AIDS also provide important causes of myocarditis. Other causes include toxic myocarditis, which is related to drugs that may cause an insidious form of the disease
Did you know heavy drinking can impact on your heart and health?
On 400,000 you stated are not vaccinated- nothing to say that's very nice so I will be shhhh

On not being worried about going to and supporting Protests about mask and vaccine mandates- I keep away as I may use PTSD as an excuse on thugs abusing health workers, retail staff, hitting police horses, bashing and abusing police. Supporters of thugs and bullies are ?

A yank mouth just got BOO'd as he advise his groupies he got a 3rd dose. I clapped at the thought no injections of bleach, No UVC light baths or sheep drench in the orange mop top just a perfectly safe smart Vaccine

you correctly asked for negative terms not to be leveled at you but tossed a lot of very very offensive conspiracy and added you support your protest which have almost certainly killed some people and have spread covid cases in Melbourne stopping me seeing family. Cause and effect is clear.

Suspect you drank a little to much xmass cheer John.
