I do like this guy using the word "Respect" in relation to how we shall go about our fellow citizens and people around us. Kudos for that :)
But I don't agree with this guy breaking down the COVID hoax like a champ, since he didn't. This guy uses the same tactics like so many others. Yes, I agree we have a financial system that needs rescue (I don't think it can be rescued, it's at its end). All the free money isn't doing what it should do, increase inflation. And yes, the financial sector is to blame for it. But also we are to blame for it since we use this system for our own benefits over and over again. We don't want to open our own eyes. We desperately need to transform to a whole new system. But we don't want to see this. We want to blame others. To claim a direct link between this financial problem, this capitalistic system based on debts is coming to its end, and the COVID virus is an opinion, and nothing more than that. He, you and nobody having such views and opinions can substantiate with facts and truths. It's just an opinion, nothing more than that.
Until a few months ago, we didn't have more deaths than in any other year in my tiny country the Netherlands (NL). But is it? We got hit with COVID at the end of our winter (back in March) while we know viruses love winter. In our numbers, the whole winter period is not accounted for. Only after February 2021 we can start true comparisons. And you know what? Now, a few weeks into our winter, we already see an increase of the total number of deaths compared to all the years of last decades and we still have 2 to 3 months to go.
COVID itself is not a hoax. The danger of COVID: well, we don't have the scientific information available yet to determine how dangerous, or not, COVID is compared to other viruses, like the heavy flu. What we do know is that hospitals are busier than ever (at least they are in my country). I don't watch too much the TV news, I try and get my information from reliable sources... Fortunately, I know two people, both working in hospitals, and both trustworthy. They tell me their hospitals are way busier than any other winter they worked in the same hospital. That's not a proof, but a good indication. Added to the fact the number of deaths is increasing fast while we are in a complete lockdown for more than a month; Still 2 to 3 months of virus heavy months to go; It becomes clear something is driving the additional death numbers. If this isn't COVID, than something else. In a few months, we'll know the figures better.
What astonishes me over and over again: How can those with strong opinions and the strong belief in new world orders driven by a group of people (governments and companies), never entertain us with an explanation how on earth such large group of people can drive the whole world into the same direction, without any proof available to us? Nothing that shows some form of collaboration between dominant banks, governments and anybody who would be part of this group? Nothing that shows proof of planning this whole pandemic thing?
As pointed out already: I do agree with this guy with respect to the need to take action in regards to our financial system. But that's a topic that has nothing to do with COVID, until it's proven.
Interesting you used the Science tag: No science at all in this video :(
The basics about what coronavirus & fly are at the very beginning are not science?
The basics about the PCR test being bogus is not science?
The statistical fuckery he’s bringing attention to has no relevance to science?
Wait, I can answer those questions: Yes. Yes. And Yes.
Hahahaha... That's one way to classifying science. Turning claims into science. Not even philosophers make claims. But not in my book, and not in any true scientist book, when you 1. listen the whole video 2. hear this guy talking in facts.
To the first point: That's clear, right? Your comment is even more clear. Statements, Claims without any proof. The truth is, the world, as well as the whole covid situation, is much more complex than all the BS about who is right or not. The world is divided into two camps: Those in favour of government rules and 2) those against all this and many of them believe in some form of planning, some form of conspiracy. There is a third group, quite small, but they exist. These are people who believe government rules are based on tunnel visions, and science no answers (yet) to proof the believes of either camp. I belong to this later category. And when one belongs to this category, one needs to be ready for everything. Therefore we shall not downplay covid, and at the same time, we shall be ready to deal with covid for a long time to come (which means: no lockdowns, no shutdown of the economy). Only in time, we know better if covid is indeed more dangerous than anything we know. BTW, I wrote a very long post some time ago what we as governments should have done, and can still do. If you are interested? Here it is: https://hive.blog/hive-114105/@edje/unlock-measurements-i-propose-to-diederik-gommers-member-of-the-team-advising-the-dutch-government
To the second point: science is all possibilities based on numerous assumptions and most often empirical results, but science is never about facts (maybe in mathematics some facts are at play, but that the nature of that science). When practising science and talk in certainties, science becomes opinions, by default. Around covid, lots of studies, but no truth and facts. Only some indications and possibilities.
