CV19 - Cure Worse Than The Disease? (Vol 19)

I remember Chromegrill.

This is what they really think:

The sad truth is that this person may well be a medical professional involved in the COVID response at a senior level. This post shows, beyond any reasonable doubt that their views were emotionally compromised. Driven by fear rather than logic. This cuts through to the very heart of everything that went wrong.

The same 'medical professional' proudly argued that Astrazeneca was safe for young people, which of course we now know is completely untrue:

They also argued that COVID was a risk to the young and healthy, which again we now know is completely untrue:

It's pretty clear that if you are a child or young person who wants to minimise your chances of getting myocarditis at the moment, you will want to be vaccinated against COVID, given the high likelihood of getting infected sooner or later and the much worse outcomes and more frequent risk of myocarditis in children after coronavirus infection compared to vaccination. And there's always the nagging question that until we completely understand the mechanism behind vaccine-induced myocarditis, it's quite possible that had the children who developed that not been vaccinated but became infected with COVID, they might well have had COVID-associated myocarditis instead which could have been a whole lot worse for them.

At the end of the day, it's thanks to meticulous monitoring of the vaccines that we are able to detect complications as rare as myocarditis (and it is rare; you could vaccinate all the eligible children in a large UK town or medium sized city without seeing a single case). And whilst vaccine complications that go beyond common things like mild flu symptoms or redness at the site of injection are obviously undesirable and everything possible needs to be done to minimise the likelihood of them happening, it's not as if significant harm is coming to large numbers of young people as a result of vaccinations. More young people would be harmed by COVID itself, and more badly harmed, if we didn't have COVID vaccinations available.

hence people should be dna profiled and then chipped... stop this stupidity... if they cant be trusted...

Chromegrill may well be a 'health professional, fairly senior level' (that could mean anything, assistant Head Porter at the local hospital, to GP at local practice?), who knows?
However, what I'm certain of is he certainly ain't in the English grammar profession...


Over FIFTY words in one single sentence with NO punctuation whatsoever, not even a measly comma. Phew!

If you asked Chromegrill and others like them now I'm sure they'd say that they were never in favour of mandatory vaccination, no Vax no job, Vax passports to leave the house etc, or at least try to downplay their support for them at the time.

I see it all the time, both on here and in real life. People who got very frightened, wanted everyone to follow every rule no matter how crazy, called for more authoritarian measures, claimed Boris was risking lives every time we reopened from lockdown....and yet now they try to pretend they never held those views, distance themselves from it, pretend it never happened and anybody that still talks about it is a conspiracy theorist.

I think it would be a simple task to embarrass quite a few in the conspiracy theories thread just by exploring posting histories from 2021.

^ this. Plenty were in favour of those who didn't comply with being vaccinated 'to protect others' deserve to be punished. if not directly calling for it then they were entirely content for that to happen. Still, it's human nature I suppose and one should hardly expect any different for a somewhat unpleasant aspect of it to be shown especially in thise times...

It also raises the genuine question of whether, not wanting to endorse censorship, nevertheless PH and other social media outlets are enabling mental illness, and those who prey on the afflicted.

It's a difficult balancing act, but having a forum like that with restricted access where they can re-enforce their world views surely can't be healthy for anyone?

You only have to cast an eye across the pond to the MAGA lunatics to see how this sort of thing can wreak havoc with society. It's more than a curiosity.

Where does the responsibility to fact check some of the more obvious nonsense start on a forum like PH, and where should it start?

Remember, innocent people have died because of bad decisions made in a fog of misinformation.

A lot of people were scared when, with hindsight, they had absolutely no need to be.

It's one of many elements regarding Covid and the response to it that I have concerns about. I suspect zero lessons have been learned by those in in power (deliberately or not) for if this ever happens again, the biggest difference this time will be that the scales will have fallen from a lot more people's eyes.

LOL! Is it 2020 again? 4 years on and they are calling for PH management to silence any covaids discussion which deviates from The Official Narrative, but dressed up like they are "concerned" for the discussion "enabling mental illness".
