Here is another view.

That's your opinion, and you're welcome to it no matter how wrong it might be, but the fact is, I did not misrepresent anything. According to the news report I cited, nearly 80,000 people could qualify for compensation from the Australian government for injuries suffered from the vaccine.

The fact is that you misrepresented your source. Firstly, your source said the 79,000 figure was an estimate ("around 79,000 people approximately") but you described it as "officially confirmed instances of vaccine injuries" and said "nearly 80,000 victims according to the official records". You misrepresented an estimate as a confirmed value.

Your refusal to ever actually quote either your own post or our source, but only paraphrase and assert, is telling.

Source: Cannabis compounds stopped COVID virus from infecting human cells in lab study

Cannabis compounds prevented the virus that causes COVID-19 from penetrating healthy human cells, according to a laboratory study published in the Journal of Nature Products.

The two compounds commonly found in hemp — called cannabigerolic acid, or CBGA, and cannabidiolic acid, or CBDA — were identified during a chemical screening effort as having potential to combat coronavirus, researchers from Oregon State University said. In the study, they bound to spike proteins found on the virus and blocked a step the pathogen uses to infect people.

Never heard of the Journal of Nature Products but if true I'll bet Jim L could chug a glass of pure covid and be immune

[Sparko]

No, but they typically hide that truth, presumably because the more hospitalized patients with covid are counted in the hospital spike rates, the better it is for the covid cult and their fearmongering narrative.

More likely the hospital gets more government funds depending on the number of COVID patients they report. It's greed, not politics.

Scientists are seeing signals that COVID-19′s alarming omicron wave may have peaked in Britain and is about to do the same in the U.S., at which point cases may start dropping off dramatically.

The reason: The variant has proved so wildly contagious that it may already be running out of people to infect, just a month and a half after it was first detected in South Africa.

“It’s going to come down as fast as it went up,” said Ali Mokdad, a professor of health metrics sciences at the University of Washington in Seattle.

“At the end of this wave, far more people will have been infected by some variant of COVID,” Meyers said. “At some point, we’ll be able to draw a line — and omicron may be that point — where we transition from what is a catastrophic global threat to something that’s a much more manageable disease.”

My hope is that omicron is so much more transmissible and so much less virulent that it not only outcompetes other variants, but also leaves those catching it with more immunity to the other much nastier variants.

This is similar to what has happened with various other viruses including strains of flu - those strains that don't kill or incapacitate their hosts eventually dominate because they have more opportunities to spread - but with COVID we may be seeing that happen over just two years as opposed to decades or centuries.

It is what happened with the Spanish flu in a few years time.

Taking all data into consideration, that appears to be exactly what is happening.

To be fair, COVID patients are more expensive to treat, even if they weren't originally hospitalized because of COVID.

At least that's what Dr. Sanjay Gupta says, about a minute into this video.

In normal (natural) circumstances, this would all be true, and we would expect just such an outcome... under normal (natural) circumstances.

[seanD]

Professor Ehud Qimron, head of the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at Tel Aviv University and one of the leading Israeli immunologists, has written an open letter sharply criticizing the Israeli – and indeed global – management of the coronavirus pandemic.

I won't post his whole diatribe here because you can click on the link and read it. The part that stood out the most to me was this...

There is currently no medical emergency, but you have been cultivating such a condition for two years now because of lust for power, budgets and control. The only emergency now is that you still set policies and hold huge budgets for propaganda and psychological engineering instead of directing them to strengthen the health care system.

"Propaganda and psychological engineering" is something that you'd find on a "conspiracy theory" site about global elites and Great Reset agendas. You don't expect this type of language from an academic and actual qualified expert. Now there's either two options here: Either the guy is a crackpot or his expert analysis is correct. The covid cult would automatically dub him a crackpot at the drop of a hat.

[Gondwanaland]

It's been coming out in the last couple months that while Britons were suffering lockdowns and severe restrictions the last two years, the party in power has been - as many Dems here in the US have been doing - enjoying parties and mingling in the usual 'rules for thee but not for me' that the politicians pushing restrictions seem to be practicing.

After a long while of denials, video and images of Boris Johnson have come out of him attending at least two parties during their first 2020 lockdown, and now he has hastily put forth an apology amid calls to resign (including by some of his own party):

A friend of mine posted that on FB. Her source was something called "BroBible."

So, weed for prevention and Viagra for treatment.
