"Is it still a thing? Are there still people that don’t believe this virus is real and not some conspiracy to inject us with nanobots?" i dont think there are many that dont think its real,there are many that do think its not as dangerous to the majority of people and there probably right | |||

"Is it still a thing? Are there still people that don’t believe this virus is real and not some conspiracy to inject us with nanobots? Everyone knows it real, and there aren't any conspiracies just massive distrust in government and medical bodies, which isn't helped by the amount of inconsistent guidance from them all" In a nutshell | |||

"Is it still a thing? Are there still people that don’t believe this virus is real and not some conspiracy to inject us with nanobots?" Yes it's a thing, but you can only let people make their own minds up. +90% go with the science but there will always be those who have to experience it personally. We all learn differently and some people need that real life experience to convince them. | |||

"I still hear stories of people in ICU denying Covid as they're dying of it. There's also this, although whether the author meant the whole thing is a hoax or not, is unclear. https://www.edinburghlive.co.uk/news/edinburgh-news/edinburgh-residents-fume-after-arthurs-21462299" Just to clarify it is of course real. I just wondered if those who for a long while did believe it was all faked have now finally all grown a brain cell? Will reality eventually dawn on those who still spout other equally spurious conspiracy based nonsense? | |||

"Is it still a thing? Are there still people that don’t believe this virus is real and not some conspiracy to inject us with nanobots?" Somebody told you it's real so it must be real right ? Old saying..tell the same lie enough times and people start to believe its the truth. Repetitive manipulation. Just like education. Learn what you're told, remember it, prove you've remembered it in your exam test, pass your exam..and hey presto..you're smart right ? You've done as you're told. Don't think for yourself..just do as you're told. | |||

Maybe after the event these people changed their minds..if they were still alive of course." Excellent. If 90% of people are vaccinated a least once.... And yet numbers are still going up at a rate of knots... 264k infections last week alone... It is reasonable to assume that it's being spread more by those who are vaccinated as they represent 90 per cent of the population. That would be an easy enough bit of data to establish and report. But it's not. That makes me curious. | |||

"Is it still a thing? Are there still people that don’t believe this virus is real and not some conspiracy to inject us with nanobots?" My mother is absolutely convinced it's not real and it's all a conspiracy. She's heavily into QAnon and all the other nonsense. Her husband and father both died of Covid in January this year, but she still denies. | |||

From yesterday's figures a 3rd of the infections were from people 29 who are most of the unvaccinated and under and they make up less than 25% the population. Covid generally affects the old more than the young. If there were no vaccine then you would expect 0 to 29 year old to have maybe 10% of the cases. Which is what we saw in the first waves pre vaccine. | |||

Denying the truth also causes people to ignore the rules and regulations; to continue to behave as if nothing has happened and then pass on the "imaginary" virus to their elderly parent. Even when that parent dies, obviously you continue to deny.... Yes, it leaves a very sour taste. | |||

"We believe it's real, both had the vaccine etc the thing what we have trouble with is the unknown quantity of how ill it may make you, if at all. If you knew that catching it you'd only be a 3 out of 10 you might accept it a bit more than if you knew if was a 9 out 10. Also how easily we may still pass it on to loved ones. Having read above though and assuming you are all a representative sample of the site, it's amazing how many don't believe it's a thing or think we're odd for not wanting to get out there and meet or go to clubs yet. Because in their eyes now we're all double vaccinated it won't affect us or think none of it is real. Both aching to get out there and play but moral responsibilities get the better of us." You've got it in one... For whatever reason (and I largely blame javed, but many others saying... "you're double jabbed, therefore youre invincible") is exactly the problem. The fact govt policy seems to be... Youre better being double (possibly triple jabbed in a few months) jabbed than not actually being infected at all...we can see with our own eyes that the jabs don't make us invincible. Thankfully the vast majority of infected now are either asymptomatic or make a speedy recovery but still 800 a week are dying with it and 260k a week are catching it. Wanting it to go away doesn't make it happen. | |||

"I've had covid, if my mother got it she wouldn't survive I think everyone knows it obviously exists it's just hard to understand if you haven't had it bad or if at all " Nope, see above. My mother's husband and father (my Grandad) died of Covid in January, but she still denies. QAnon is a powerful cult. | |||

"Think most of us agree there is a disease out there that attacks the respiratory system. Are you happy to call it Covid, I honestly don't care. Is it more serious than the annual flu, most likely. Without some form of restriction and lockdown would numbers be higher, yes, I would imagine so. Would the numbers of deaths be higher without the Covid vaccine, absolutely. Would the number of deaths be higher if we had used the annual flu vaccine as the Covid vaccine, yes. Without any form of intervention I believe we would most probably not need elderly nursing homes for some years as there would be no punters for them. Can I be certain what I say is fact, no." No but I reckon quite a few of them you would be pretty much statistically certain | |||

"I don't deny its existence, I just think the response to it has been massively disproportionate to the risk and that it's been used to accelerate other agendas. Remember when it first emerged, Johnson and Whitty etc were on TV reassuring us that it's a mild illness for the vast majority of people (which it is). Then they decided to terrify the nation into doing whatever they tell them." What do you think their agenda is by terrifying the nation.? | |||

Remember when it first emerged, Johnson and Whitty etc were on TV reassuring us that it's a mild illness for the vast majority of people (which it is). Then they decided to terrify the nation into doing whatever they tell them." I have to disagree. The response has kept hospital numbers manageable. You're also confusing the positions of the government too. They reassured that the vast majority of us would be fine but also made sure we weren't complacent. When I say 'they' I mean Whitty - not BoJo...I wouldn't believe him. People talk about the impact on mental health due to lockdown but forget about the mental health of the doctors and nurses who have been overwhelmed with the tragedies that they have witnessed. Without the lockdowns they would have been under so much more pressure, witnessed so much more and had to make much more painful decisions. Whatever decisions the government made there would have been significant negative impact on one group or the other. Personally, I'd rather spend time in lockdown if it meant that those keyworkers had a slightly easier ride. Would you feel comfortable sipping a pint in your local knowing that hospitals were overwhelmed with young and old struggling to breathe and potentially dying because of the sheer number of people needing treatment? | |||

Anyone who thinks the first or second lockdowns were a disproportionate response can’t grasp the concept of exponential growth..." Absolutely! Flu has an r0 of 1.28 on average. A bad flu season r0 probably higher. If each generation of a virus is 1 week (I.e. Person A catches it, and develops symptoms and passes on to person B), with an r0 of 1.28, after 10 weeks, 420 people will have flu from Person A. If Person A had alpha variant (r0 =3), after 10 weeks, 295,240 would have caught it. For delta (r0 =6),after 10 weeks, 120,932,350 will have caught it. Assuming flu and covid have same death rates, (let use that silly 99.8% survival figure) that's 0.85 flu deaths, 590.48 alpha deaths and 241,864.7 delta deaths. Its just a flu right?! | |||

Whilst you may argue that China aren't reporting accurately, the chinese people do tend to do what they are told and therefore are compliant with rules. Possibly I needed to be more explicit with the irony." Maybe you need to explain the irony? Is there a problem with under population?! | |||

"Is it still a thing? Are there still people that don’t believe this virus is real and not some conspiracy to inject us with nanobots?" if it was all these vaccine and covid is fake ppl that got the illness that would be fine might clean the gene pool ( why you have to write on bleach bottles do not drink duhhhh) but it’s not they then go on to give it to innocent ppl then more ppl that have it more chance of variants coming along , I don’t get them at all ! | |||

"Is it still a thing? Are there still people that don’t believe this virus is real and not some conspiracy to inject us with nanobots? Everyone knows it real, and there aren't any conspiracies just massive distrust in government and medical bodies, which isn't helped by the amount of inconsistent guidance from them all" There's plenty of guidance. Good guidance. People tend to trust articles in The Daily Prepper, or The Duck Breeders Gazette, rather than the NHS. The world-wide-web allows every braindead deadbeat from Hicksville to have their day. A reminder that there are people out there, still, who *really believe* that Bill Gates has put chips in the vaccine. When the mRNA tech succeeds in its original goal, of using that same vaccine tech to destroy tumours within the body, I bet we see very little vax hesitancy from the cancer afflicted. | |||

"the vast majority of those hospitalised caught it from an unvaccinated person" are you able to share the link that shows this is the case?

"I got a random private message on this subject. "In 1918 Spanish Flu more people died of bacterial pneumonia rather than the virus itself, they wore masks then and what do masks cause?" Where do these people get their info from? Love to see any article prior to 2020 that associates masks being cause of bacterial and pneumonia deaths during Spanish flu... If the statement above is true then, then given numbers of victims, it would be well documented over the last 100 years....

If the statement above is true then, then given numbers of victims, it would be well documented over the last 100 years.... a fauci paper said that many died from pneumonia after the flu had taken down the lungs. No mention of masks. " This is the conclusion from the Fuci paper published 1st October 2008: "The majority of deaths in the 1918–1919 influenza pandemic likely resulted directly from secondary bacterial pneumonia caused by common upper respiratory-tract bacteria. Less substantial data from the subsequent 1957 and 1968 pandemics are consistent with these findings. If severe pandemic influenza is largely a problem of viral-bacterial copathogenesis, pandemic planning needs to go beyond addressing the viral cause alone (e.g., influenza vaccines and antiviral drugs). Prevention, diagnosis, prophylaxis, and treatment of secondary bacterial pneumonia, as well as stockpiling of antibiotics and bacterial vaccines, should also be high priorities for pandemic planning." Definitely no mention of masks. | |||

" Vast majority explanation "99.5% Of People Killed By Covid In Last 6 Months Were Unvaccinated" - Forbes "Of more than 18,000 people who died from COVID-19, for example, only about 150 were fully vaccinated. That's less than 1%." - WebMD "99.2% of US Covid deaths in June were unvaccinated, says Fauci" - The Guardian I believe over 99% is the vast majority so I did not make it up to support my argument. In a country where people are being pressured by the federal government into being vaccinated it is not unreasonable to assume that those who chose not to be vaccinated are "antivaxers" (OK. Of course there are those that have not for other reasons and you are invited to list every one of them. Let us start with trypanophobia.) Vaccinated persons can infect unvaccinated persons but the risk of that occurring are greatly reduced. Since Covid-19 can also be transmitted by touching an inanimate object it is not possible to ascertain exactly where an infected person was first infected. It is only the statements of those infected and in hospital that lead to an analysis but who is to say the infected person is correct? | |||

"An excerpt from the site The difficulties of death figures This table aims to provide a complete picture on the topic, but it very much relies on data that has become more difficult to compare. As the coronavirus pandemic developed across the world, countries already used different methods to count fatalities, and they sometimes changed them during the course of the pandemic. On April 16, for example, the Chinese city of Wuhan added a 50 percent increase in their death figures to account for community deaths. These deaths occurred outside of hospitals and went unaccounted for so far. The state of New York did something similar two days before, revising their figures with 3,700 new deaths as they started to include “assumed” coronavirus victims. The last section regarding different means of recording deaths etc is of course a bloody nightmare. In the same way as new York including "assumed" deaths in the sane way the UK reports on deaths 'within 28 days of a positive test' which means people could have died WITH covid, not necessarily FROM Covid But of course that's dangerous conspiracy theory talk and we mustn't delve into that" UK take the approach that daily deaths are as you describe as that's quick. But weekly deaths are where covid is on the death certificate. Imo, when looking at longer term patterns, excess deaths is hard to argue against. | |||

What's not valid, is trying to counterbalance the enormous weight of this with piss poor trash, that many of the antivax funders and peddlers desperately try to do, to undermine our country's stability, etc. " Scientific method is very good. What worries me is the lies and abuse if such results by governments and official bodies | |||

"Is it still a thing? Are there still people that don’t believe this virus is real and not some conspiracy to inject us with nanobots? Somebody told you it's real so it must be real right ? Old saying..tell the same lie enough times and people start to believe its the truth. Repetitive manipulation. Just like education. Learn what you're told, remember it, prove you've remembered it in your exam test, pass your exam..and hey presto..you're smart right ? You've done as you're told. Don't think for yourself..just do as you're told. " Absolute rubbish | |||

"Is it still a thing? Are there still people that don’t believe this virus is real and not some conspiracy to inject us with nanobots? Oh I love a good injection of bots I hope there will always be people around who think ‘differently’. Most aren’t conspiracy theories though; the media loves showcasing the extreme. Off course it’s real but challenging/ questioning the extent and details should be normal and never mocked or labelled as crazy or extreme. That’s how mass control happens Yes! The highly valuable critiques of medical evidence comes from within the peer review process. We're so fortunate to have the scientific method, directing how we research, as well as global investment in the peer review process, that's proved so helpful to us all, during this pandemic. We can all agree that the scientific method is invaluable when applied properly. Plenty of vested interests would like to subvert it and we have to constantly be on guard against themand we have to be on our guard against those who wish to take advantage of us being on our guard! That's why we need everyone to be open with their evidence for their views. And to avoid ad Homs. Far too many ad homs here. The words simpletons, conspiracy theorists, denialists, covidiots etc etc and wearily etc are routinely and almost instantly deployed against anyone questioning the official narrative. Whenever I see someone using these words I automatically suspect they use them to try t silence people" But what would be the benefit to them, unless you think they are being paid to silence people on a swingers forum. | |||

" I don't suggest they are being paid. I just think some people are very orthodox/rigid in their thinking and delight in groupthink. They can't stand any other point of view" Hmmm, Kruger and Dunning (1999). are doing a lot of heavy lifting here. Thick as mince. Ref: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10626367/ | |||
