Fear not the Virus, but Fear itself
Updated: Nov 14, 2021
Our government portrays the virus as a terrifying danger of Freddie Kruger proportions of which we should live in perpetual fear. "It will knock on your door and wants to kill you and your children. Do not talk to your neighbours, and do not pat dogs" they advise.
To allay people's fears, Dr Joseph Mercola wrote:
"Indeed, at this point, we know there's no reason to fear COVID-19. Overall, its lethality is on par with the common flu.40,41,42,43,44 Provided you're not in a nursing home or have multiple comorbidities, your chances of surviving a bout of COVID-19 is 99.74%, on average.45 It truly doesn't get much better than that, unless you expect mankind to suddenly achieve immortality."
I'd say, if you are healthy and read and act on the hundreds of articles on this website about investing in your health, you need not worry. If you do catch COVID-19 in the wild - then you have a 99.47% chance of surviving, so, right now, if you worry about this virus, then worry more about being struck by lightning. More realistically, be afraid of crossing the road!
The destruction being wreaked upon this beautiful country is not caused by a tricky virus; it is the Government's response that is at fault.
In my blog, I've said many times that nobody in NZ ever needed to die from COVID unless it was time for them to depart. Effective prophylactic measures and treatments are available and they improve in their effectiveness by the day. We must encourage and support our general practitioners to practice health-oriented medicine, including being able to choose the best treatments for their patients. Currently, they are dictated to by health bureaucrats, politicians and academics who have little or no frontline medicine experience.

"Should you develop symptoms, remember there are several effective early treatment protocols to choose from, such as the Frontline COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance I-MASK+46 protocol, the Zelenko protocol, and nebulized peroxide, detailed in Dr David Brownstein's case paper and Dr Thomas Levy's free e-book, Rapid Virus Recovery. Whichever treatment protocol you use, make sure you begin treatment as soon as possible, ideally at the first onset of symptoms."
