Place Yer Bets: £5 Could Win You About £80 …or lose your fiver

By The Boy -

Yesterday we saw a very muted first installment of match week 27’s game-card. Only one game produced 3 goals (Brighton vs Leicester). Burnley drew 1-1 with Arsenal. Make of that what you will.

Today, West Brom host Newcastle United. This is my ‘not one for the purists’ pick, as we are unlikely to be treated to a great advert for the sport. With both sides producing just one win each in their last 5 outings this could feel a lot longer than 90-minutes. Home win.

Liverpool versus Fulham will be interesting, Fulham are aching to break free of the relegation zone and Liverpool are doing what Klopp has done at both Mainz and Dortmund, dazzled and then spiralled into oblivion. I’d love to say a draw here, but surely that can’t happen, can it? Draw.

Manchester City versus Manchester United is likely to be unwatchable with the Sky commentary sound on – and as is frequently the case with big derbies – the chances if the match itself under-delivering on thrills are high. Home win.

Tottenham will beat Palace. Home win.

A fiver in most places could win you £79.47 or lose you a fiver.

No virus including this one and its variants has ever been proven in accordance with their own koch’s principals et al. This is common knowledge in virology. Please verify for yourself. Lots of peer reviewed papers going back decades.
Deficiency and Toxicity – they’re your enemies along with the pharma boys and their patsies selling us their snake oil.

If someone thinks numbers provided by the media are fake, then there’s no reason they would think covid is actually a serious issue.

“I know a hospital where they don’t have many patients with covid” is then maybe the only thing you can go by. Naturally – as it is with anecdotal evidence – I can say that I know hospitals that are full of covid patients and refuse treatment because they have people with lung failure on ventilators occupying the intensive care rooms. I know people working in such places personally, as both of my parents work in healthcare.

I also know people who lost relatives and friends due to covid and others who struggled for weeks, sometimes months with shortened breath, dizziness, loss of smell, headaches etc.

But these days it’s hard to convince people of anything.

Yeah, this is where we differ. Fair enough.

if I can’t believe worldwide governments, worldwide health professionals,worldwide scientific community and statisticians OR the worldwide media I might as well wave the white flag 🏳

We’re done for in that instance

The thing was grim in April, it’s an exponential spreader – I can’t believe that’s a falsehood.

I’ll keep some faith

The figures released in mainstream media are agenda driven falsehoods. The whole thing has been a hysterical mess. Meanwhile country’s who didn’t lockdown or wear masks etc are fine with lower death stats.

Much the same with the stats for December with the second strain.

I’d hope not too many extra deaths have happened as the world shut. The figures from April in this country compared to after are many times better – how can you think they wouldn’t have been equally bad as they were in April if we’d stayed open?

People judge the virus not based on when it first emerged but either as a whole across the time it’s been around or worse, after measures were put in place!

Its not ripping us apart like in April in the UK because we took evasive measures – it hasn’t got friendlier.

Continue those levels across the entire year and we’d be looking at something rather unpleasant stats wise.

if you dispute the impact Covid had in April or that data then that’s where we’re differing – but my entire thinking is based that uncontrolled Covid would have the same or a worse impact than in April.

Has vaccinating against flu allowed the world to stay open and prevented millions of deaths over the decades?

Why wouldn’t this be the solution now?

I also fail to believe that there’s a worldwide conspiracy to attribute all flu deaths to Covid and fake test results etc, the data from April on Covid show it would have ripped through the population with ten times the excess deaths or higher, that wasn’t a burst of the flu! In April :/ – and that was with the slack of initial hospital capacity that would then be filled as the virus continued to spread so increasing deaths.

Here’s a couple of things of interest given in good will. A brilliant doc called ‘The minds of men’ on you tube still although amazon removed it. And the ‘history debunked’ you tube channel a vid called ‘ more people have died in 2020 than any year since 1918’

Well, excess deaths are stated as being quite a bit higher worldwide actually, up a third generally.

Some people die from a wasp sting yes, it’s not great but statistically it is likely that there’s always that one in a quarter of a million etc who has a very bad time with anything.

The testing has been rigorous and legal I’m sure, fast tracked but we have the tech, science and man power. A few people might have a bad reaction, I’m sure some do to a new flu vaccine.

They’re saying some elderly patients died soon after but unsure what tipped the balance…similar to determining whether Covid itself killed in similar cases.

Vaccines solved the issue of flu – this is the way out of Covid. We’re in the nation taking slightly more risks but we might be out the other side quicker. Should be personal choice to take it though, but as said above, I’ll definitely be taking it asap

Deaths aren’t sky high. It’s getting tricky to find stats shock horror but in this country deaths per thousand is roughly the same as always.

No, no, yes there’s plenty of respiratory illnesses, last one is hypothetical.

I don’t really know what you’re assumptions are:

  1. Do you trust/believe worldwide and UK deaths and excess deaths data or is that a conspiracy? Because something happened last year – they’re sky high.
  2. Do you believe all social distancing and lockdown measures have an impact in containing a virus or is that a conspiracy to some degree? Because a large proportion of the world’s were living under such measures.
  3. Do you believe that there are respiratory illnesses that aren’t flu like SARS and that they’re unique and very different to the flu? Because that’s what we have.
  4. Do you realise that even if a flu came out that we had no inbuilt immunity or vaccine for we’d do exactly what we’re doing now – and that it has been the governments main fear for many decades now?

For me those four things say that the reason governments have almost universally responded to this in broadly the same way just shows that it’s what had to be done rather than some massive conspiracy to make pharma money or conduct a social experiment.

CDC list of covid symptoms:
Fever or chills, cough, shortness of breath/difficulty breathing, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, new loss of taste or smell, sore throat, congestion runny nose, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea..

*List doesn’t include all possible symptoms.

Couple that with PCR and you have the makings of the biggest scam in human history.

So we’re at the doomsday scenario of NHS being massively over capacity.

If hospital admissions go down while the country opens up we’re pretty much there basically, that’s the metric – whether that’s through jabs or something else I don’t really mind but that has to happen as soon as possible, esp to open up hospitals for normal service.

They report on the admissions and they claim that’s the driving factor so I’m all behind a proposed solution. Early data looks alright, I think this things almost done in terms of strict(ish) lockdowns and hopefully hospital admissions.

Yes. It’s unprecedented “technology” and up to now has not been permitted. Company’s like Pfeizer have dispicable records and have slush funds of millions just to pay out for damages.

I suppose death could be construed as an adverse reaction,and there have certainly been some of those.

One of the reasons the pharma companies wanted immunity to prosecution was the fact that political pressure meant skipping or shortening several of the testing procedures to bring forward the rollout of the vaccines.

We’ve seen the videos of people ill with this and it isn’t the flu. To believe this isn’t a SARS style virus is very deep conspiracy theorist stuff.

Do I believe that as you contain a more infectious virus that the flu by all staying indoors you’ll also stop the less infectious illness? Uh, yeah.

You mention the flu,but it would seem nobody has died of the flu this winter,do you not find that odd?Maybe covid is just another strain of the flu virus that we get every year.

This whole crackdown/lockdown is totally unprecedented leading to crashed economies,lost livelihoods and huge mental problems along with enormous national debts.Something is very suspicious here.

Well….the pharma companies could be the heroes who solve the worldwide pandemic…but still get sued for billions by the ‘1 in 250,000’s who have an adverse reaction I guess :/

I won’t be ‘betrayed’ – there’s few absolutes with the fact nature adapts…the flu is a constantly shifting problem we have taken years to semi-master. Same with this – we’re just trying to deal with this quicker because of many years of scientific progress.

I’m acutely aware this crisis isn’t ‘all about me’ or even ‘all about the UK’ – BJ knows he can’t promise anything and I’d rather he keeps admitting to that.

Yep, they demonstrated how important the NHS really is to them there. They should do a walk out. Hancock is a psychopath who should be in jail with the rest of em.

As if the derisory and insulting offer of a 1% salary increase wasn’t enough of a slap in the face of NHS workers,the blackmailing of these workers to get vaccinated is another good reason for them to call a strike.

If they stopped working Hancock would go into meltdown,although he is evil enough to take his revenge on them when the UK has imported more staff to work in the NHS.

Yes the indemnity clause demanded by all the pharma companies before they even began their research on these vaccines,along with Gates’ pushing of vaccinations and Klaus Swarb’s Great Reset was very sinister.

Also the matter of many wealthy people becoming obscenely more wealthy due to the virus,when so many have lost their livelihoods and even committed suicide.

Might be tricky if you want to go abroad but you’ll get your pint.

Personally even if the things a 20% effective near-Placebo I’ll take the thing just to get this process going.

If the vaccine programme works and I refused it I’d feel a little shame going by my own beliefs on this so that’s why I have to take it.

My surviving gran (last grandparent, yes she survived it) had the jab months ago, parents just over a month, my buddy who has diabetes just a week ago – I’m doing it.

Me neither. Quite a number inc. medical staff feel the same judging by these veiled scare tactics. A friend of the family lost her job as a nurse already cos she wouldn’t administer the vax.

Somehow this team is still in with a top 4 shout….shouldn’t be near it really.
Off piste I saw Hancock making veiled threats to NHS staff getting mandatory vaccinations with his “review” on the matter….seem to suggest it’s general public too. If they dare push that they’ll have human rights articles and the Nuremberg code to deal with….filthy criminals.
