What Next

Think we may find that we have some very unique disease outbreaks in the near term.

Kids normally are exposed to many diseases in social and school settings. Immune system development occurs early from birth and develops continuously until adulthood. with the lockdowns, masks and reduced or no contact with other kids/adults to expose them the normal immune system development stops. Bad things happen.

The other items is the development of these MRNA vaccines with no long term testing. No idea what the long term effect will be. These are not to be confused with the long standing and tested vaccines such as MMR, Tetnus etc. The old school technology has been around a long time and tested.

Of course, don't worry. As the Lurch John Kerry reminded us. The real threat is not Nukes, Disease or Famine. it's climate change.

Not sure governments will ever properly review the response to COVID and it is always hard to look back objectively when we have the benefit of hindsight but some interesting thoughts to consider:

6.5m people are thought to have died where COVId was mentioned in relation to the death (but accepting it may not have been the primary cause)

Around 9 million per year die from starvation.

Many more will die from the knock on effect of lockdown - the person who died recently I mentioned was only diagnosed with cancer in the last 3 months (those services were restricted due to lockdowns and there is a huge back log)

Covid was and is increasingly a virus that effects the elderly, the obese (especially those with diabetes) or those with other underlying conditions - for the rest not so much (albeit there will be examples within the rest.

Naturally acquired immunity is as strong as vaccine acquired immunity (see John Hopkins, see Israeli study, see BMA articles)

Lots of businesses have gone and won’t come back

The effect on those in education who missed out and will never get that back.

The world’s production cycle and network is massively disrupted due to COVId causing shortages and then huge inflation

Will we actually properly learn the lessons - probably not as much of the agenda is set by the 24/7 media headline cycle and humans don’t like looking back at problems.

The lessons I hope people learn from this are to enjoy life whilst you can and to try to be considerate and kind.

Also hope it leads to a review of the way in which many criminal justice systems lock people up or the notion that there is easy time.

We had only some of our freedoms reviews and many struggled and still feel the effect. There has to be a better and more humane way surely?

Peace all and keep safe and well!
