Didn’t Musk pump and dump on the bitcoin ponzi ? He did indeed but I doubt he was putting all of his net worth into it. Made a killing on doge coin I think though.

The starkest stat for me is that less than 20% of all ages think like the contributors to this thread, which is quite refreshing to see. This doesn't really surprise me I have to say as I've always thought this thread was a museum piece of mutually self-affirmative confirmation bias. But I agree that the youth response is interesting, you'd think that they'd be most affected by the restrictions and therefore most pissed off. But with this result and similar with regard to Brexit, perhaps the future direction of the UK is in good hands? We just need all the dinosaurs to shuffle off (winky thing). It tells me that 20% of the population have their own mind and are not easily coerced into government propaganda and social media bullshit which is deeply worrying. The fact that you live in the world of the 80% doesn’t surprise me one bit That's ironic, since I'd say that the 20% are precisely the ones taken in by the "social media bullshit" since almost all of their 'evidence' in disputing Covid comes from such sites. I'm quite happy not to be one of those and it seems, from the poll Drunken posted at least, that I'm in the overwhelming majority, which, I have to say, is what I'd thought all along. That aside, even you would have to admit that there is a delicious irony in being one of the supposedly "woke" ones while the remainder are those still "asleep". Whenever it suits, eh? Whenever it suits

“precisely for removing his underpant…” That made me laugh but also copperfastened the ridiculous of it all, he obviously didn’t think it was very deadly. I also think after that the MSM continued to seek out his views on covid (rather than illicit sexual dalliances 😆) It's amazing what risks people will take when in the throws of Passion, as Neil and Matt will attest too An old friend of mine, who was an ex Royal Marine always used to say that `fanny will blow you further that gunpowder ".

It’s scary to me that there’s people still mocking the “conspiracy theorists” over this whole pandemic. Unsurprisingly it’s the same general crowd circle jerking themselves into a furore in the brexit thread. And then you have redwhitenblue looking forward to the die off of generations so that the world more aligns with his outlook; I guess the scandalous political capture of the school system is god’s work in your eyes…
Newsflash, children grow up and become more conservative. You seemingly never did.

I'm not looking forward to the die off of anyone, hence my 'winky thing' after the dinosaurs shuffling off comment! Nonetheless, that doesn't alter the fact that re Brexit in a decade or so many of the people who did vote for it will turn up their toes, simply because proportionately more old people voted Leave. Maybe they will get replaced by a generation which grows older and starts thinking Brexit was a good idea, I doubt it, but you never know.

Tesla stock went gangbusters from 2020 through to January 2022 same with Amazon (Bezos) and a lot of other tech stocks. It was a big bubble that unwound through last year. Amazon for example back to 2020 levels. A combination of bored locked-down Gen Zers being given free money in the US (and beyond) playing with the Robinhood app drove up the price. It wasn’t really wealth in the way you might understand it. For example, Musk couldn’t liquidate his Tesla holdings and give away all his money without crashing Tesla stock. There would be too much supply of the stock to match the demand at least in the short term.

Bill Gates isn’t injecting chips into people but he’s sure fooled many… I'm sorry Terry I watched the link and I'm not getting it, what are we supposed to be seeing here? What I saw was some guy and girl on a Podcast throwing around some idealogical theories without any substance to back it up or even an attempt to do so I briefly saw Rogan say a few words not Brand, perhaps I wasn't paying enough attention If I can decipher the point you are making and apologise if I have misinterpreted it, is that A) Bill Gates made a lot of money from his Stock in Covid Vaccine Companies and B) When he cashed out his stock he did a 180 on the efficacy of the mRNA Pfizer-BioNTech Vaccine A) In around October 2021 Gates cashed out 86% of his holdings in BioNTech in 2 Tranches. The first netted him a gain of $260M the second $50M. This is certainly a huge amount of money to you or I but it represents less than 0.3% of Gates more than $100+ Billion fortune B) You are correct that Gates has changed his narrative on mRNA Technology which is why he cashed out his stock in BioNTech. He's an Entrepreneur not a Scientist and when he saw that as new Varients of Covid developed it required a new Vaccine to combat it he lost confidence in its application to treat Covid and other diseases universally Would you want him to stick with his original "narrative " when he found out new facts? Have you ever changed your mind on a subject or have you always been 100% correct in your original position? You may have other information that I'm not aware of and I like to think I'm open minded enough to consider new information on its merits.

You don't accept it was a pandemic. I can't remember if you even accept there was a virus or not, but I'm sure you were claiming there wasn't at some point! You can see why that provokes mockery, especially since you were claiming it was a never-ending, totalitarian power grab to control people's freedoms and that we'd never go back. Well, we did. Yes, I'd say I was outside of that 19%, which was a question on the strictness of the government's restrictions. I disagreed with Bianco over this, confident that the majority of the public shared my thoughts on lockdowns etc, not his nor most of the other contributors to this thread who will most likely be found amongst the 19%. Seems I was right. That doesn't make me a lock down fanatic nor am I incapable of seeing the mistakes and corruption that bedeviled the government's approach in dealing with the pandemic from start to finish. This thread is primarily self-endorsing confirmation bias indulged in by a lot of people who dislike all things woke yet fail to see that they're the wokest of all on this subject. That doesn't make it correct, but it is amusingly ironic. Anyway, I don't normally get drawn into this discussion because it is primarily self-affirmative so I'll leave you to it, but that yougov poll was interesting and pleasing to see it supported what I'd previously thought about the general public's thoughts on Covid.

Anyway, I don't normally get drawn into this discussion because it is primarily self-affirmative so I'll leave you to it, but that yougov poll was interesting and pleasing to see it supported what I'd previously thought about the general public's thoughts on Covid. WHO changed the definition of "pandemic". And you still fail to grasp the tricks involved to make it look more deadly than it actually was. 'Death of any cause within 28 days of a positive test' is nothing but fraud. When you have a test run at extreme cycles that can find anything you set it for, in anybody. See the creator of test for confirmation. No wonder they needed the asymptomatic spread nonsense. Basically people who were not ill told they were ill by a piece of plastic, and then told they were a risk to others, and that the risk was equal for all. And the fact that the "test" picked up the common cold and flu. I'd be sceptical of any mass testing again. It proliferates the idea of pandemic, when there isn't one. And finishing off the vulnerable with treatment protocols to get the death numbers high, and labelling people who were dying of something else as 'covid hospitalisations'. All of these tricks became blatantly apparent as it unfolded, when you looked beyond the fear and into what they were actually doing. Add in the ludicrous modelling, which were nothing but fantasy. A real pandemic doesn't require a TV set to be told there is one, it doesn't require number inflation, it doesn't require deaths recorded tricks. The whole theatreshow was one of cosplay larping. And if you think it's back how it was before, you fail to see the giant steps taken to have control over populations in the future. Even now, the healthiest bloke on the planet is barred from entering the US for failing to submit to said control. You think this is science? Anyway, I'm not intending to argue, and I don't really care about being mocked. If people want to submit to what the state is telling them to do via incessant repetition of mantras, then that's up to them, as long as I am free to ignore all of it.

It’s disgusting, nurses teachers cops ordinary joes can’t heat their houses but it never concerns the private jet set.

It’s exasperates and infuriates me that the people accepting these covid decisions and manipulation will be the ones paying for it forever.

Another way in which the elite get richer off the backs of the working class.
Quite interesting to see that the Gov can fund a new treatment/medicine and it can be then monopolised by big pharma.
Be very interesting to see the details around vaccine funding given Pfizer’s recent attempt at super price gouging

Terry I think we are the same side not opposite sides of the same coin The world’s ten richest men more than doubled their fortunes from $700 billion to $1.5 trillion —at a rate of $15,000 per second or $1.3 billion a day— during the first two years of a pandemic that has seen the incomes of 99 percent of humanity fall and over 160 million more people forced into poverty. “If these ten men were to lose 99.999 percent of their wealth tomorrow, they would still be richer than 99 percent of all the people on this planet,” said Oxfam International’s Executive Director Gabriela Bucher. “They now have six times more wealth than the poorest 3.1 billion people.” This is Fucking Obscene www.oxfam.org/en/press-releases/ten-richest-men-double-their-fortunes-pandemic-while-incomes-99-percent-humanityOnce upon a time becoming a Millionaire was a thing, now Billionaires are commonplace Who can seriously spend that sort of money Once you have so much money than you could ever know what to do with some like Gates and Musk ( and many others) engage in vanity projects Whether they are a force for good or evil is debatable The danger is that money buys you influence at home or abroad and that in itself is a threat to Democracy Yes that’s exactly right. It’s disgusting, nurses teachers cops ordinary joes can’t heat their houses but it never concerns the private jet set. My issue is that I firmly believe that they used Covid to enable this wealth transfer and that many of the Covid decisions were influenced by them not for the benefit of society but for their own enrichment. It’s exasperates and infuriates me that the people accepting these covid decisions and manipulation will be the ones paying for it forever. Bollocked the nail on the head with aplomb there Terry

My bet would be "Negative thinking makes vaccine less effective"

Has anyone been unfortunately denied a visit to anyone at the Royal Stoke due to Covid restrictions recently? I didn't realise there were any but apparently I can't visit my poorly dementia suffering Mother in law due to RSUH's Covid restrictions.

My mrs who works in NHS management (which may dismay a few on here) says it’s an absolute joke . I’m sorry you’re having to go through it, it’s obscene. I’ve been waiting for an appointment at the North Staffs since March 2022. A routine examination, it’s been cancelled 7 times now
