heres his reply

Hi Aqua,
i have so many letters from relatives of the very frail and elderly who were so grateful their mother or father got to pass peacefully from covid . it truly is the old mans friend.
modern medicine is so good at keeping people alive that many beloved parents were passing from a slow rotting decay.
now they get a cold, it settles in their chest, they have a peaceful sensation of drifting off to sleep.
it is the most wonderful thing.
callous virtue signallers like a certain Dr Berger, are a disgrace to the medical profession and hence we have collectively taken action to reprimand them.
wishing you all the best and know that you and i and the silent 99 % are on the right side of history.

sincerely

Jon

Who's Jon?

Sounds like someone who lives on the farm next to you in Nowheresville, Outback Queensland (population: still 10).

Is his name Jon Gerard?

Try again... it's John Gerrard, Queensland Chief Health Officer that you need to email.

If you can find some way to contact him directly, of course. I've had a quick look myself but there doesn't seem to be. I wonder why? Undecided

not a respiratory virus?

says who?

you Roll Eyes

Says many people who know a lot more about Covid than you do.

Here's one:

Is coronavirus a disease of the blood vessels?

Dr Phoebe Kitscha explores how and why Covid-19 affects the whole circulatory system, and the research that is trying to tackle it.

Quote:

When Covid-19 first emerged, it was initially thought that – like other coronaviruses affecting humans – it mainly caused lung problems.

But as the outbreak progressed, case studies began to suggest that some of the most severe complications of the disease affected more than just the lungs. From reports of ‘sticky blood’ raising the risk of deep vein thrombosis, heart attack or stroke, to neurological effects, many complications seemed to be affecting the blood vessels.

And...

Every COVID Infection Increases Your Risk of Long COVID, Study Warns

Dec 27, 2023

Quote:

“Each subsequent COVID infection will increase your risk of developing chronic health issues like diabetes, kidney disease, organ failure and even mental health problems,” physician Rambod Rouhbakhsh warned journalist Sara Berg in an American Medical Association podcast earlier this year.

“This dispels the myth that repeated brushes with the virus are mild and you don’t have to worry about it. It is akin to playing Russian roulette.”

And then there's brain fog damage:

https://x.com/DaniBeckman/status/1769117085425402331

Quote:

COVID-19 will never be like the Flu. Never.
At least not for the brain.

Shall I continue? There's many, many more studies that show SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) isn't just a "mild respiratory virus".

From The John Snow Project:

Are You Serious? COVID-19 Hasn't Gone Away?

Talk to most people about COVID-19 risks and a common response is, “If it was that bad, governments would do something about it.”

Quote:

We’ve written previously about the analogies to smoking and the historic role governments played in normalizing harm even after the risks were well proven.

While COVID-19 has been causing disruption at the Olympics and regions around the world report sustained high rates of transmission, just this week three studies have been published demonstrating COVID-19’s role in increasing the risk of deafness and harming the vascular system following acute infection, and causing immune dysregulation and cardiovascular damage in people with Long Covid. These join the many thousands of studies evidencing the short and long-term harm of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Yes, but it's "just a cold" now, isn't it?

And, a comment from the esteemed Dr. David Berger (just for aquascoot):

https://x.com/YouAreLobbyLud/status/1819903178575650860

Quote:

I'm genuinely fascinated to understand how so much evidence of harm can have come to be ignored in such a short time. It tells us an incredible amount about how humans function in groups.

Yes, it does. And I am also genuinely fascinated.

You mean this "mild respiratory virus"?

You know COVID is mild and affects only the weak, vulnerable and old, when Olympic athletes are dropping like flies.

Any comment to make about that?

And... there it is. Another white flag happily accepted by me.

Thanks.

Now, if you'll excuse me I have work to do continuing with putting in my application for the age pension with Centrelink seeing as I'm 67 today (Happy Birthday to Me Smiley

) and it's time to become a "leaner" and a "taker" (in your opinion) after I worked for 45 years then spent my super over the past 5 years (super will run out by the end of this year).

And, before you ask - I retired 5 years ago and lived off my super so I could take care of my elderly aunt and also take care of my own medical issues... prostate cancer and thyroid surgery.

Oh, and.... bite me!

hi carl

ive never actually encountered anyone who boasted on a public forum that he had spent all his super (meant to ease the burden on the taxpayer) and was now going to delight in bludging on their taxes.

most people who are mixing in society would understand how socially backward such a statement would be

you do get out and mix with your fellow humans dont you ?? Undecided

Disgraceful.

Plus, another 188 Covid deaths in Victoria between 6 Jun 2024 and 23 Jul 2024.

⚠️ BREAKING

🇨🇳 China Faces New COVID-19 Surge with Recombinant Variant XDV.1

Recent reports from China reveal a concerning resurgence of COVID-19 driven by a new recombinant variant, XDV.1, which combines Delta and Omicron strains.

A combination of Delta and Omicron has the potential to be very, very bad.

But, I'm sure our governments will be able to convince the majority of the population that it's "just a cold", like all the other variants up until now (assuming the majority even hear about this, which I'm sure they won't. Not from the media, anyway).

If it were hospice I'd tend to agree, but your lack of humanity is appalling.

If I make it to aged care, I hope I'd not be sharing it with people of the likes of you, those who are unworthy of the gift of life.

Changed the goal posts again?

Who said anything about a nursing home, it's aged care.

They're not the same thing.

My mother is in her early 80's in aged care. She has some medical issues that require a nurse so she made the choice to move in there.

She still has a car, she's still active in the community, she just lives in aged care.

There are many like her there too.

She didn't want to be a burden on her kids and refused to stay with us and use something like Blue Care, so we let her make her own choices.

Maybe you'll be lucky, maybe we'll all be lucky, and you'll expire soon before you'll need aged care. Perhaps you've already got nobody left given the glimpse into the person you really are by the posts you make here.

The thought of growing old must be a lonely and sad existence for you. No wonder you see dying from COVID more preferable than aged care.

But if you're thinking like that already, just remember you're in control of your life, you can choose how it ends.

Don't dawdle though.

aged care = nursing homes moron

average time to death from admission to nursing home = 11 months

the left PRETEND to be the people of compassion

It is pure BS

compassion means you stand for a reduction is human suffering

allowing people to slowly decay in old age is the definition of suffering , moron

you think they just die of "old age'

if you remove compassionate deaths like covid, you are left with a horror show

The RSPCA would prosecute anyone who let an animal die thus

The lefts compassion is basicly non existant

And in other policy areas their desire to make people victims is also a gaurantee to increase human suffering

when a conservative tries to encourage improvement and personal responsibility to break the cycle of victimhood (a state of pure suffering), the evil leftie mocks the idea

disgraceful disgusting selfish creeps

and with the insolence to pretend to be holier then thou Roll Eyes
