Paul Kingsnorth.
From his website in the "film" section:
"In this conversation with Unherd, in March 2021, I talk to Freddie Sayers about mythic versus logoic ways of seeing, avoiding culture wars, Bill Gates, conspiracy theories and escaping the Machine."
"An interview from spring 2021 with the 'Techtonic' programme on WFMU radio in New York, about my novel Alexandria, and the onrush of techno-feudalism in our society. We talked about the failed promise of the internet, the coming surveillance civilisation, Jacques Ellul, techno-colonialism, neo-environmentalism and more."

He's another tin foil hat global conspiracy theory peddler but with a coffee house vibe. And one that can't be bothered with doing a bit of basic data research on Sub-Sarahan Africa and Ireland before rolling out his preset monologue. Those were launching pads, nothing more. Lolol.
Just wear a mask. Get the jab or suffer the consequences. Societies have a right to protect themselves from selfish people. It's nothing so lofty, devious, conspiratorial, or complicated. Pandemics happen, and if history is an indicator this should be temporary.

You might ask why. Every fucking day the NYT sends me a morning email and there is the constant comparison of red and blue states and counties with an attempt to show blue regions are handling Covid better, and I do not see any difference at all. It is like this Sweden crap. Sweden did good or bad with Covid based on who you compare them to.
Where there is a real discrepancy is in Africa. Look at these numbers in cases per million: 51,000 in South Africa, 57,000 in Libya, and in the most populous country in Africa, Nigeria, 1000 per million. If politics were not dominating Covid, this is the discrepancy that should be studied or maybe not if you are a vaccine manufacturer.
You see this might be one reason as to why: https://i0.wp.com/noqreport.com/wp-c...rica.jpg?ssl=1.

And anybody who writes this about sick people, "the unvaxxed would get put in a gymnasium and given horse dewormer" has got issues.
Most people with Covid do not get put in the hospital (it is now less than 1%) and even then you put these people on oxygen, blood thinners, steroids, and / or Regenron if they qualify and they do well. So why does this guy want unvaxxed sick people to be put in a gym? Because he is a fucking asshole.

Compared to people who were not vaccinated, people who were vaccinated were five times less likely to develop COVID-19. They were 10 times less likely to be hospitalized and die from the disease. "

"Fully vaccinated people with a vaccine breakthrough infection are less likely to develop serious illness than those who are unvaccinated and get COVID-19.
Even when fully vaccinated people develop symptoms, they tend to be less severe symptoms than in unvaccinated people. This means they are much less likely to be hospitalized or die than people who are not vaccinated. "
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019...ugh-cases.html
"We do not have conclusive proof. But more and more studies and real-world evidence points to fully vaccinated people, who are not immunocompromised, are less likely to transmit the virus if they become infected," said Brian Laird, PharmD, manager of Pharmacy Operations at OSF HealthCare Heart of Mary Medical Center in Urbana, Illinois. "The reason why is that vaccinated people have a lower viral load if they get infected," Brian said.

This last is why it matters to ME if YOU are vaccinated, and why you're a selfish asshole if you're not.

I have 2 questions about your claim you were in Wuhan.
1. When was this? Was it back in 2019 when a respiratory illness of unknown origin was reported in Wuhan? Was it when the SARS-CoV-2 virus was isolated? Was it when the WHO declared the pandemic? Or was it when travel restrictions began? I'm asking, because that covers about 6 months.
2. So what? Is that how you think knowledge is gained? There are several buildings designed by Frank Lloyd Wright convenient to me. If I go tour them do I magically become an architect? Better yet, I was married to an artist and spent several years dealing with all things art, including some modeling. I can just visit a few galleries and poof, I'm an artist. Heck, I can go cruise the halls of a med school and next week I'll be a doctor.
Regarding your lecture on vitamins, it appears I know more about them than you.
1. There's a limit to how much of each vitamin your body can assimilate. Exceeding those limits is at best useless.
2. Vitamins received from eating properly are more effective than swallowing a few handfuls of pills.
3. Overdosing vitamins and minerals can cause some serious health issues.

They also have few if any long term care facilities and limited testing capabilities. None of this applies to South Africa and their stats look very different. Check the data yourself.

Let's start with the obvious:
Neither traffic accidents, nor smoking are communicable diseases. They aren't comparable to Covid. However, let's look at traffic deaths.
Every year about 1.35 million people die from traffic accidents. If we average it out, over the past 2 years, about 2.8 million people have died from Covid each year. I guess you should have just stuck with smoking, which is more deadly. Except that smoking is a choice, while getting an infectious disease isn't.
I'm actually pretty good at fending for myself. For example, I don't stagger and stumble around in foreign cities, unable to speak because I'm so fucked up, a self-inflicted condition which makes it impossible to fend for yourself.
Natural rights? Freedom? What the fuck are you babbling about? You think putting on a mask takes away your freedom? There are hundreds of thousands of requirements which you are subject to every single day, but if you have to put a mask over your face it's the same as being thrown in prison? Whatever you say.
As for your "change drugs every few days so you don't get addicted" silliness, that's just plain stupid. If you can't get through your day without some type of chemical crutch, you're already addicted. All your method does is prevent physical withdrawal symptoms, which might be worse in the long run.
Being addicted to one drug, a physical addiction, is finite. The drug takes its toll until you reach rock bottom. At that point you either die from the addiction, or you get the help you need and recover, giving you the opportunity to go on with life. However, being addicted to the effects of the drugs has no boundaries. Each one takes a toll, but it's not immediately recognized as related to the drugs, as with your stomach issues with alcohol. There's little hope of recovery, because you don't get into the love-hate relationship with the one drug. You just keep jumping from high to high, until you hit the wrong combination, or the cumulative bills all come due at once.

1. You are obviously lacking in reading comprehension skills. I've certainly never told anyone to get vaccinated. I've stated, more than once that, in my opinion, it's in most people's best interest to get vaccinated, but whether or not they do doesn't matter to me. I don't believe anyone else who you listed has insisted people get vaccinated. What they and I have stated is that Covid is a serious issue. That's not an extremely radical position. Basically every country, every research organization, every healthcare organization, etc, has stated the same thing. Considering the past 20 months, anyone smarter than a hamster recognizes that Covid is quite likely the most significant event within our lifetimes, no matter how you want to measure it.
2. The people who you listed have been writing about something they believe in, right or wrong, each of us has a certain amount of passion for the subject. You're not here to discuss, debate or provide information. You're merely here to spit on people because of their age. What could be more pathetic than that?
3. You're speaking of things which you have no knowledge. I've never met Huacho, but the rest of the guys you feel threatened by, myself included, are generally easy going, laid back guys.
Our last 5-10 years on earth? I suppose if you go by actuarial tables, that might be within range for one or two of us. However, it's a rather silly prediction to make. It's silly because whether we die in 5 years or 45 years doesn't matter at all to you. What's more, assuming you live to be "60-70", you'll be right where you think it's sad that we are, although I'm not quite 60 yet. Where will you be then? Will you be living as well as I am? Will you be doing the things I'm doing? Will you be happy and satisfied? For all you know, you'll be laying in a hospital bed, unable to wipe your own ass.
Although, considering your post, you're not figuratively there already.
