Australian trucker set to shut their country down

I would love for all the pro mask/pro vax/pro lockdown/pro CNN/pro fear people to look at that link I posted and explain it.

 

I don’t think it’s fair to call any of this misinformation. It looks to me like a bunch of people sharing their opinions and drawing conclusions based on what they see. I respect anyone who takes the time to do a little research and use critical thinking to make their decisions, even if I don’t agree with their position.

I’ve made my own opinion abundantly clear in most of the covid threads, but I still like seeing opinions from others on both sides.

 

Here’s another empty hospital.

I went to the local hospital week before last for a chest x-ray as part of a physical, and I had to check in through the ER. It was completely empty. I asked a nurse if the ICU was full, and she said it was empty too. This is in a city of 60,000 people.

 

We'll be watching to see how it goes. For the sake of the Australian people, I hope it works.

Good luck Mate.

 

This probably is the man that knows since he just left Australia like a month ago

 

Doesn't matter Negan and his men will take the supplies……

 

There is a big difference between anecdotal experiences and actual data. One off experiences don't tell the whole story, and crowd sourcing often provides inaccurate data points.

Why Crowdsourcing Often Leads to Bad Ideas

I have no idea what the gif you posted portrays - in terms of both context and authenticity. Me, I trust the people that I know, like Dr Ben Weston, Dr Matt Gray, Dr Matt Weston, and Dr Eric Boehmer.
Ben Weston, MD | Associate Professor | Medical College of Wisconsin
Matthew P Gray, MD | Children's Wisconsin
Dr. Matthew Weston Jr, MD, Anesthesiology Specialist - West Bend, WI | Sharecare
Eric D. Boehmer, MD, PHD

I went to college with Ben and his brother Matt, at the time they were friends, now they're more acquaintances. Matt Gray literally saved my life (very bad reaction to codeine cough syrup). Eric was and is a role model for me. When they speak on issues, I listen. I don't always agree but I strive to understand their point of view. When they speak on medical issues, I take heed. I know how smart they are. I know how hard they've worked. I trust in their integrity.

When Ben and Matt Gray told me that the Freodert Hospital system was stressed to it's breaking point last summer, I believed them. When Eric tells me he's seeing long term complications tied to covid, I believe him. When Matt Weston leaves his cushy private practice to help intubate patients I know there's trouble.

Every friend and acquaintance I have in the medical community has supported masking and the vaccine.

Have all of the covid precautions/processes made sense? Heck no, and more than a few have been counter productive. A good portion of that is due to the nature of the scientific process - hypothesis, test, analyze. The vast majority of the WTF? ideas come down to knee jerk reactions latching onto any promising idea. As this whole thing started Doctors were sharing ideas of "hey, this drug looked like it helped". Those comments got picked up by social media, then "normal" media as 'facts', which quickly turned into 'cures' in the public mind. Despite the medical community warning "hey, it's too early to say" hydroxychloroquine was bandied about as a pancea and a reason to end mitigation efforts. Hydroxychloroquine turned out to be a dud. The latest idea is a horse dewormer - spoiler alert, it doesn't work.

Most of what has been posted to social media has been blatantly false from it's first post or has been re-posted long after being proven wrong. Most of the covid related postings on TTR have been based from social media rumors or TV programs that the courts have ruled "satire". It's been interesting to me to see the number of 'bob tail' and 'light load' posters that only post on covid threads, but never anywhere else on the site. From that alone it's fair to question the veracity of their statements. When taken in full context, I do think it's fair to say most of this thread is misinformation.

 

A bit over a week..

 

I’m not sure what your point is. I never referred to anything here as “actual data.” I post things that I see and I share my opinion. This is a forum, where people can and should share their thoughts openly. Nobody has to agree or disagree with any of it. I’m not a doctor or a scientist. I didn’t even go to college. Yet... I’ve seen enough information, heard enough testimonies from doctors, to be of the mind that there is something very sinister at work here with these vaccines and I DON’T believe for one second we are being told the truth. The videos I posted seem to support my position. I never said they PROVE anything, they just support it. Make of it what you will.
