“Mainly Comorbidities”

A Middlemore Hospital spokeswoman acknowledge today some facts buried under alarmist headline and other spin…

“We are mainly seeing people that are sick with Covid and have other comorbidities or have a broken bone and have Covid or are delivering a baby with Covid,” Thornton said.

Oh no. Where’s the COVID Emergency hysteria anxiety pandemic for which we are shitting bricks while bending over backwards and crushing dissent behind riot shields? Look harder!

Middlemore Hospital head of emergency department Dr Vanessa Thornton goes on to say that the cases they were receiving had no comparison to the surge of RSV in 2021 at all.

The politicians would like hospitals to back their schemes and scams with a medical emergency pandemic. It’s not happening. Lucky for them the media can make up the difference with the rest of the spin in this article. Especially the bullshit headline.

You know, sometimes I get hopeful that the media might actually be beginning to tell the truth. But then I quickly think that they’re only doing that to fire a warning shot at government agencies and firms as a way to shake them down for some more Public Relations purchasing. It is the stock they sell after all.
