A dancer and protest organiser has condemned the government and the British press for perpetuating a narrative that seeks to only promote the vaccine, and condemn as liars all those who express any sentiment against vaccination.
Lorraine Wilder – an activist with strong views against what she considers the government and media narrative about the pandemic and vaccine, told The Eye Of Media.Com that theUk media has pedalled just one narrative in relation to the vaccination that seeks to lie about the truth, whilst presenting those who tell the truth as liars.
Wilder is an activist with strong views against the vaccination programme, insisting too that she will not be vaccinated under any circumstances, despite working at a University where vaccination will be required.
She is the antithesis of the government’s vaccination initiative, blind to its ultimate objectives of stemming infections and hositalizations, which he insists is largely fictitious.
The camapigner provides no hard facts to back her claim, shared by many others who are equally dismissive of the pandemic’s impact as reported in the press. Yet, proper independent research to investigate the facts are scarce, but the relaity of Covid as a killer is not disouted by most well informed people.
The true numbers of Covid-19 victims are contestable, due to some exaggerated reports, but the virus was running rampant in many part of the world last year. Its true scale remains open to question.
Where other commorbidities were involved in the deaths of many patients, the causative element of Covid-19 for various patients who died has never been conducted independently of other factors.
Sceptical Wilder is among a group of people who perceive the whole media mechanism as being geared towards a make believe system, but doesn’t appear to acknowledge the fact that many ordinary people suffered and died from the virus.
The media report news as they see it, and are fundamentally mandated to conduct investigations, when necessary to establish facts.
Wilder is sceptical. She says: ”During the pandemic, she sarcastically says, members of the public were not allowed to visit hospital wards, we were all kept a mile away from witnessing what was actually happening in hospitals.
She continued: ”. The virus has not even been isolated, but they want us to believe there is a pandemic”, she says.
She later concedes that Covid-19 definitely exists, after being told of independent research which confirms this.
”I have no problem with people who want to be vaccinated, but don’t try and force us all to be vaccinated by making life impossible for us. We say no to Covid passports , no to vaccinating our children”.
Challenged with factual research indicating a number of people who had suffered with covid, Wilder had no answers for that.
Exaggerrated
The issue of Covid deaths being exaggerated in hospitals during the first pandemic is a well established fact, but the British government revised he framework for calculating official COVID- 19 deaths by counting only those deaths that have occurred within 28 days of a positive test.
Critics are unsatisfied with the framework of review without proper accountability of the failing, turning many away from all levels of trust.
Independent research showed that there was no doubt many people suffered from Covid-19, during the pandemic, and many died. Precision in stats ha been questionnable, despite ONS figures, which for all intents and purposes, are collated from multiple sources across the Nhs.
Accurate death figures are almost certainly elusive by any standards of fact, as long as other ailments are in the mix too.
Mistrust
Mistrust of some of the crucial statistics associated with the pandemic has been a contributing factor to a pool of conflicting information circulating in various circles.
Many anti vaxers have an entrenched view that the entire vaccination programme has a sinister purpose, and are wholly pessimsistic about the whole programme, including the reality of Covid-19.
Other have expressed concern that a vaccine could be developed in such a short time and produce the answers the world wants.
Rising rates of hospitaliation among the double vaccinated has raised questions of what the fuss is all about.
Wilder takes issue with the categorization of the public into two groups of vaxers and antivaxers .
She says the aim of the categorisation is to stigmatise those who want to speak up against getting vaccinated, particularly for their children.
The government alongside teacher unions have all expressed concern about the spread of the virus in schools, and and are aiming the vaccination at preventing the kind of surges observed in Scotland.
Against that objective, are questions of why young children need go be vaccinated if they are less likely to fall ill from the coronavirus.
The Department Of Health’s position on that is that prevention is better than cure; a position welcomed by most, but painfully resisted by others.
