    Well I am looking forward to hearing an explanation from a qualified doctor on where a two inch shadow over my lung, I also saw the xray myself, it was there and it was there one year and gone by the next time I saw here. I never went back to see her again. I was convinced it was black mould that was causing it.

    This is from the link I provided earlier:

    "There is no cure for sarcoidosis, but most people do very well with no treatment or only modest treatment. In some cases, sarcoidosis goes away on its own."

    But if you want to continue thinking the homeopath cured you that's your choice.

    which do you think there is more money in, steroids costing €70 a week or a simple household product ? So who was conning who?

    I agree. But I would argue that the way they count deaths in England continues to be a farce since anyone who dies within 28 days of testing positive for covid there is said to have died of covid regardless of how they actually died. That's why the number of covid deaths in England is inflated and inaccurate. That's the point I've been making about '1.5 million have died of covid'. There needs to be an asterisk attached which says "includes people in England who died within 28 days of testing positive for covid".

    You’ve been shown the official UK death statistics up to week 50 this year and those show 70 k increase on the average for the past 5 years. You still ignore these and ****e on about how deaths have been labelled and defined.

    Don't worry, it takes a while for him to accept he is wrong, but rest assured that won't deter him. He'll move on to something else shortly.

    I really don't understand why you are quoting my post but if you have proof that a simple household product does a better job than steroids you should probably make that information public. Maybe you should even write a paper about it as part of your science degree. At least that would force you to do proper research for once.

    Genuinely concerning to read up on people who are weary of vaccines but at the same time are talking up homeopathy as some miracle cure for their illness

    A popular Aussie chef has just had his FB page pulled for being a complete woo merchant

    https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-55433217

    It's never just Covid conspiracies, it's always the whole 9 yards:
    Evans had shared a range of debunked theories about the severity of the virus, mask-wearing and vaccines, as well as incorrect claims about 5G networks.
    Prior to the pandemic, several Australian health bodies had criticised Evans - known as "Paleo Pete" - for promoting pseudo-science about diets and cancer cures.

    In 2017, the Australian Medical Association accused Evans of endangering lives with his false claims about the benefits of certain minerals and toxins in sunscreen.
    In April, his company was fined by Australian regulators for selling a A$15,000 (£8,400; $11,300) light machine which he incorrectly claimed could cure the "Wuhan coronavirus".

    Then in November, he lost several business sponsorships after he shared a meme on social media that featured a neo-Nazi symbol.

    His post included a "black sun" - a symbol associated with Nazi Germany and used by the far-right including the Christchurch gunman. Following a backlash, he offered an apology to "anyone who misinterpreted" the post.

    His cookbooks were pulled by major retailers after that post, and his publisher Pan Macmillan said it had ended his author contract.

    Evans was also fired from the next Australian season of television show I'm A Celebrity ... Get Me Out Of Here.

    And the counter-argument is always the same: "But free speech".

    It's a private platform, they have every right to remove dangerous medical disinformation. Thousands of people have so far been injured and even killed trying fake Corona and medical cures.
    https://www.sciencealert.com/covid-19-rumours-have-killed-800-people-hospitalised-almost-6-000-scientists-warn

    As for the free speech aspect, for all their rhetoric, these conspiracy believers can be among the worst offenders, just here; repeatedly trying to shut down scrutiny or challenges to their claims, blocking posters, openly calling for public forums to be turned into private echo chambers, etc

    Masks stop 99.9% of large Covid linked droplets according to this recent study

    https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rsos.201663

    And before the anti-maskers chime in, no we don't wear masks 24/7, it's simply not feasible. Covid also spreads in other ways. It's about reducing spread and lowering the R number.

    Are people still wearing masks to protect those around them from spreading Covid to them instead of staying at home and isolating if they really think they are a threat to people spreading Covid?

    When you take the vaccine will you continue to wear a mask to protect people as you won’t know who has or hasn’t got the vaccine yet or cant?

    You should set up a survey with one of the reputable survey companies if you want to get a half decent idea of what people are doing.

    I would hazard a guess that they wear them both to protect others and themselves to a lesser extent.

    People have lives to live. Why would they lock themselves in isolation unless that have covid?

    Tried to a poll here but it was pulled

    The majority consensus and what government etc are saying is the mask is to protect others, not the wearer
    So the assumption is if you wear it you assume you have it

    Why would a healthy person wear a mask?

    Depends on the results of the vaccine transmissibility, obviously.

    1.7 million. WHO guidelines are that only deaths where covid is a major factor are recorded as covid deaths. But you know that already, you just believe grifters.

    If the people are vaccinated then they are safe hence no need for masks surely as they are not at risk of covid if vaccinated surely? If thats the case then the vaccine is pointless because it won't stop you getting covid if you still need a mask

    As they were excluded from testing for transmission interruption, it’s highly likely it won’t prevent

    Where have you been for the last 9 months? Buried in alt-right sites? Until we know that vaccinated people cannot spread the virus they should wear a mask. The vaccine stop you from getting sick, do you understand this basic concept. My 6 year old does, will i get her to explain it to you? If, as so far seems to be the case, the vaccine drops transmissions rates then we won't need masks.

    You don't understand what masks are for. I dont wear a mask for me, I wear it so people, even people like you, won't get sick.

    Thinking of the guys who took the swine flu vaccine and got narcolepsy I won't be going near this

    Sympathetic with the conspiracy theorists on this. Media headlines and articles seem far too co-ordinated with very little dissent. The great-reset creeps are openly stating it should be used to advance their agenda so not sure if that counts as a CT

    Government indemnifying big pharma for potential ill effects was another major red flag. As someone who's been over-taxed for almost a decade due to the mistakes of the Irish government that was treasonous as far as I'm concerned

    The increased risk of narcolepsy due to vaccination was 1 in 18400 or 0.005%.[5]

    There were over 80 known cases, people with their lives ruined.

    This vaccine is way more experimental. For all we know if might make us more prone to brain cancer after 5 years. Unlikely of course, but anything unresearched I consider a greater risk than that of me contracting covid. Which I possibly already have at the moment.

    It mimics a covid19 immune response. Logically getting covid would be far worse with the same long term implications.

    It could be that people will be coerced into having it in order to take part in the new normal Health Passport Ireland society, whereby doing almost anything, if how the creators of Health Passport Ireland envisage their app being used (see the promo video) becomes a reality, will hinge on the light flashing green.

    No he is not. He is just one expert. Also he was talking about the flu virus as you said. Without knowing the interview, I would guess he said something along the lines of it being a good idea to wear masks as evidence has shown a significant reduction in non/covid respiratory viruses since so many are wearing masks.

    My thoughts are that flu is far less deadly then covid and we have numerous vaccines for it. It is also a fact that mask usage has almost irradicated flu here this year. Putting two and two together I think Mr O'Neill is trying to sterilise us all.

    Imagine with that success, what the success could be with the covid vaccine and masks!
