JTFB redux: UK Edition: Notes From a Prison Island https://www.anti-empire.com/notes-from-a-prison-island/ .. To those who blithely go along with the most monstrous attack on a free people in the history of Britain, I would like to set them a challenge. First watch the following short interview with Professor Sucharit Bhakdi of Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz, in which he not only coolly and calmly demolishes many of the Covid-19 orthodoxies, but then shows how the sorts of economy-destroying, civil liberty-crushing actions taken by Johnson & co are “grotesque, absurd and very dangerous.” And when you have finished tell us, using facts and logic, not emotion and anecdotes, why he is wrong. And if he is not wrong, can you tell us why we are now under mass house arrest? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBB9bA-gXL4 ..

Time for some more science to stoke the snide superiority ethic in the empathically challenged:

.. Dr Joel Kettner s professor of Community Health Sciences and Surgery at Manitoba University, former Chief Public Health Officer for Manitoba province and Medical Director of the International Centre for Infectious Diseases. What he says: I have never seen anything like this, anything anywhere near like this. I’m not talking about the pandemic, because I’ve seen 30 of them, one every year. It is called influenza. And other respiratory illness viruses, we don’t always know what they are. But I’ve never seen this reaction, and I’m trying to understand why.

He also worked as Associate Dean of the Tel Aviv University Medical School and during the 1980s presented the science-based television show Tatzpit. What he says: Italy is known for its enormous morbidity in respiratory problems, more than three times any other European country. In the US about 40,000 people die in a regular flu season and so far 40-50 people have died of the coronavirus, most of them in a nursing home in Kirkland, Washington.
