This will get yer juices flowing Sir.

Go head Sir. Me too.

Snitch!

Obviously upset about the Port Talbot steel plant closing. Maybe not heard the latest news.

Masks! Professor Chris Whitty, the UK’s Chief Medical Officer, said in March 2020 that wearing a face mask had almost no effect on reducing the risk of contracting covid-19, and that the Government did not advise healthy individuals to wear masks. His statement was broadcast on all mainstream channels on UK TV. ------- M. Klompas, C. Morris et al ‘Universal Masking in hospitals in the covid-19 era’ – New England Journal of Medicine 2020 ------- In 2015, the British Medical Journal published a paper entitled, A Cluster Randomised Trial of Cloth Masks Compared with Medical Masks in Healthcare Workers. ------- HSE Contract Research Report no 27/1991, produced by the British Health and Safety Executive and entitled, Dead space and inhaled carbon dioxide levels in respiratory protective equipment. ------- A recent BMA study of 212 healthcare mask-wearing workers showed that a third of them developed headaches with 60% needing painkillers to relieve the headache. Some of the headaches were thought to be caused by an increase in the amount of carbon dioxide in the blood or a reduction in the amount of oxygen in the blood. Another study, this time of 159 young health workers, showed that 81% developed headaches after wearing face masks – so much so that their work was affected. An N95 mask can reduce blood oxygenation by as much as 20% and this can lead to a loss of consciousness. Naturally, this can be dangerous for vehicle drivers; masked bus drivers, for example, could be putting their passengers’ lives at risk. ------- A recent report published in the British Medical Journal summarised some mask-wearing risks. A published summary! First, when a face mask is worn, some of the air you breathe out goes into your eyes. This can be annoying and uncomfortable and if, as a result, you touch your eyes you may infect yourself. Second, face masks make breathing more difficult and, has already been pointed out, anyone who has a breathing problem will find that a mask makes it worse. Also, some of the carbon dioxide which is breathed out with each exhalation is then breathed in because it is trapped. Together these factors may mean that the mask wearer may breathe more frequently or more deeply, and if that happens then someone who has the coronavirus may end up breathing more of the virus into their lungs. If a mask is contaminated because it has been worn for too long then the risks are even greater. How long is too long? No one knows but two hours seems an accepted limit. Third, there is a risk that the accumulation of the virus in the fabric of the mask may increase the amount of the virus being rebreathed in. This might then defeat the body’s immune response and cause an increase in infections; other infections, not just the coronavirus. Lots more examples/studies out there.

Don't agree with you L. So, saying that a virus has never been isolated; is ignorant? Or the wearing of masks was/is unnecessary; is ignorant? Or wanting to save lives; is ignorant? Dear me!! Off to the joke section with you Sir.

You are not wrong there Red Sir. Easy for these 'know nothings' to read something on Wiki, or hear something on BBC/CNN/CNBC, and suddenly think they have learned something. And then, to show their sillyness, post it on AN to 'prove' a point. As if they are in they knowledge club, and all others, that don't agree, are stupid.

I'm not a doctor. Never have been. Was employed as the resident physiologist for a London Borough many moons ago. I do have the experience to offer some advice, on certain aspects of well-being..

Plenty of studies to show that wearing masks does no good. Too many people out there cannot do any research, but still quote BBC, Wiki and CNN nonsense.

I make Dr Coleman right on most of what he says. Including the content in your post. He has written a few books. Some on medical practices.

There is no such virus. Another hoax to add to the others. Hope Kennedy can see through this un-scientific nonsense. Nor me.

In the UK, the flu disappeared while covid was about. Dr Vernon Coleman said covid was the rebranded flu. Not far wrong there Vernon.

As far as posters on AN are concerned. It would appear to be bang on the money.

As much as I applaud Mr Kirsch for getting the facts out there, I can't help thinking that he is tinkering around the edges a fair bit. Ask the question; what are vaccines actually for? It is easy to look that up on the www. Although, the meaning of the word (vaccine), has changed a little in the last 50 years. But, the definitions all revolve around eliminating the effects of; lessening the effects of; protecting others from the effects of,,,. etc,,,etc,,,. Effects of what you might ask!! Of course, it's the elusive virus. Don't yer know! The minute entity, lurking around every corner, waiting to pounce, and render us sick,,,or,,, dead even. Is the world ready for the realisation that pathogenic viruses are a myth? And that myth, has been consistently exaggerated to keep people in poor health, make selected companies rich, and keep white-coats in their very cushy jobs; for 100+ years. It also lets the real polluting baddies off the hook. Let's look at the past 70 years. In 1954, Dr Enders was the first to say he had discovered a virus, that caused the breakdown of healthy tissue. He did an experiment, that ran alongside the proper one - with the puss from a measles pustule - and what happened? The same thing. Both petri dishes saw the tissues broken down. What's more he stated such in the summary. White-coats however, latched onto the new way of finding a virus, and this unscientific, fraudulent process has become the norm. The truth; a virus has never been isolated in a scientific manner; and crucially, never been shown to cause sickness. How could it? It don't exist. No virus = no need for a vaccine. The scientific medical world needs to face a huge truth. It is itself a unscientific fraud. Hope Mr Kirsch reads this.

The 'lady' is simply a fool. 'She' has big hands.

Do you mean the SMO?

The Ukrainians for starters. All down to America and the UK.

He was voted in to do just that.

It's so, so easy. Stop threatening the Ruskies, and they will not wipe you off the map.

I'd rather The Don than some demented twit telling everyone that guys with dicks can be women.

I'm not an American, but he is like a breath of fresh air. He shoots from the hip. The UK could do with a leader like him. And France. Is there a De Gaulle in the wings? America needs him for another 8 years. It will take that long to undo all the woke rubbish. Then his son can take over as boss of the MAGA party.

What can we get from the US? Not too much. Power tools? Chlorinated chicken is hitting the buffers. The Ford Mustang was a decent run-a-bout in its day. Linux? A weapon or two. Some decent music? Couple of good cowboy films. As soon as the Chinese take control of Formosa, there will be kittens a'plenty in the US. A different approach is needed. Ex Order 11110 spring to mind.

Could be the start of an interesting experience.

The IMF is just touting for business. Get in there before BRICS takes control.

Will this new breakthrough mean that Chinese pioneers will be the first people walking on the sun?
