Denise Welch blasts the Covid scaremongering

"..unlike Sweden, where trust built between public and government will see them sustain measures over the long term..."

Not entirely sure you`re on completely solid ground with that statement, Bifster...

There is a clear separation in Sweden between government and public health. The constitution does not allow government interference in the Public Health Body.

The Public Health Body had the freedom to act within its remit and they just followed evidence-based practice in handling the epidemic just as was outlined in ECDC documents and WHO’s October 2019 documents.

There is no specific Swedish way, this is a myth. They were just following guidelines all nations adhered to (incl.UK) until the beginning of 2020 when most other countries panicked, deviated from the science and made up a novel 'treatment' called lockdown.

Also, your article states trust in the health authorities is up, spud.

That's an interesting concept BFCx3. I can see the BBC announcement - Today 5 people in the UK died of coronavirus. However 50 in the Midlands died of heart attacks so the goverment will close down all KFC branches in Birmingham from tomorrow. There were 25 broken legs in Lancashire so sporting activities will be suspended there until further notice. On the positive side, most people remain in good health.

Hmmm not sure how that will work.

Well it won’t work, though I’m not suggesting it should.

When I talk about the focus on one disease to the detriment of others (as did Denise) I mean in terms of action and medical focus and attention.

Well sometimes a healthy dose of fear can be a good thing.

Perhaps if the government and media had been more effective with the so called “scaremongering” we wouldn’t have had the BLM and FLA marches; the raves and the house parties; and the flocking onto Blackpool and Bournemouth beaches that people on here were complaining about at the time.

And fewer people would have died.

I think fear has caused much of the subsequent reaction. People looking for an opportunity to kick back.

Do you have any proof that people died of covid19 as a result of BLM marches and sunbathing on the beaches ? If we were to believe what the media were spouting the second wave would be upon us and the deaths would be going up.

What a load of crap we had marches, Raves, folk on the beach and absolutely nothing happened the rates still went down proving it's s near on impossible to catch it outside more scaremongering.
 
The likes of Holmes & wife, shouty & pouty and a good selection of BBc presenters load the bullets and sit back and enjoy the fallout.
And for godsake, do not attempt to watch or listen to any Jeremy Vine related hogwash.

I disagree at least on Jeremy Vine he plays devil's advocate and on his panel they will normally have people on both sides of the arguments unlike others.

Proof? Nope!! None at all.

Just going from all the posts on here whenever there was a march, a rave, or people went for a stroll down the prom. “Selfish barstewards, typical of society today” was particularly popular I recall.

So not the media actually. Unless you’re going to claim avftt posters were misled by the wicked MSM.
 
Decided to ignore my last sentence in your reply I notice. Some people just want to be scared it seems.
