Questions about Covid

compiled in early 2021

I thought it would relevant to repost these questions, which I compiled and sent in early 2021 to Members of Parliament and many other groups here in New Zealand. They appear as relevant now as they were then, particularly in light of the rumours concerning other impending ‘pandemics’. Questioning may be an effective and non-confrontational way of reaching across the divide.

Here goes:

COVID QUESTIONS

The virus

1. Has the virus been isolated and grown in culture? How are we so sure of the sequence of its genome?

2. Is the virus more dangerous than other respiratory viruses (e.g., the seasonal flu), and how so?

3. Who are most likely to suffer serious symptoms from the virus? Who are least vulnerable?

4. Can serious symptoms be prevented by medications and other agents?

5. Is this virus the most lethal virus ever recorded?

6. Has there been a large increase in overall deaths from the virus over the past year? (excess mortality)

7. Can people who are not sick transmit the virus?

8. How many deaths have resulted with viral illness as the chief cause?

9. What has happened to the common seasonal flu?

The test for the virus

1. How does the laboratory test for covid work?

2. Is the test reliable? Have studies been conducted to prove its reliability/unreliability?

3. If someone tests 'positive' for covid but has no symptoms, should this person be considered a 'case'?

4. If someone dies from a heart attack but is found to test positive for covid, should covid be assumed to be the cause of death?

Masks

1. Can masks prevent the transmission of respiratory viruses, and if so, which kind of masks? Have there been controlled studies on masks and their role in viral protection?

2. Are there negative aspects of mask-wearing? Can they contribute to illness?

3. What are the psychological aspects of mask wearing?

Lockdowns

1. Have any studies shown that lockdowns prevent the transmission of respiratory viruses?

2. Have healthy persons ever been quarantined before the covid outbreak?

3. Are there any negative consequences of lockdowns?

4. Have lockdowns affected the mental, physical and economic well-being of people?  If so, how? Have any studies been conducted to assess these effects?

Treating the virus

1. Are any medicines effective in treating the virus, and if so, which ones?

2. Can early (outpatient) treatment of patients with the virus prevent serious developments?

3. What are the roles of hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin, zinc, vitamin D, vitamin C, steroids in the treatment of the virus? Which studies support or negate their efficacy?

4. Why were doctors in some parts of the world prevented from prescribing agents like hydroxychloroquine during a 'deadly' pandemic?

The "vaccines"

1. What is in the injections (list of ingredients)?

2. What is their role — can they prevent infection and transmission of the virus? If not, what are they supposed to  do?

3. How is the Pfizer injection supposed to work?

4. Have the injections been as thoroughly tested as other vaccines? Do they have adverse effects? Can they cause death?

5. Where can I find out information about adverse vaccine reactions in New Zealand, and also in the world?

6. Is a coronavirus vaccine necessary?

7. If someone has had the virus, why would they need a vaccine?

8. Are people testing positive for covid after they have been 'vaccinated' and if so, why?

9. What is informed consent?

10. Under the New Zealand Bill of Rights and the Nuremberg Code, medical intervention cannot be forced against a person's will — yet the 'vaccine' is being made mandatory for employment in some areas? Is this lawful?

11. Are 'vaccine passports' being planned, can they be lawful?

12. If a person refuses the Pfizer injection, will he/she be jeopardising his/her job and other activities?

13. Can those who have received the Pfizer injection pose a health risk to others, and how?

14. Is the spike protein that is created by the Pfizer injection harmful, and if so, how? Where does it travel within the body?

15. How are the covid ‘vaccines’ different from previous vaccines (polio, measles, hepatitis, etc.)?

New Zealand

1. How many covid-related deaths have occurred in New Zealand?

2. How many hospitalisations due to covid have occurred in New Zealand?

3. How many people have tested positive for covid in New Zealand?

4. How many people testing positive for covid have actually been sick?

5. Is there a health emergency in New Zealand?

6. How many people  have been adversely affected by the climate of viral fear, lockdowns, job losses, emotional upheaval, loss of liberties, etc., over the past year?

General

1. Why are the authorities not allowing full and open debate of medical questions and public health policy?

2. Why is anyone who expresses a different opinion from the governmental narrative considered a purveyor of 'misinformation' or 'disinformation'?

3. Why are medical doctors who have voiced their opinions about the potential dangers of the Pfizer vaccine and other aspects of covid management under scrutiny by the Medical Council?

4. Why has such priority been given to the 'vaccine' as the only solution to the viral problem? Why have there been few, if any, recommendations for healthy lifestyle, prevention and early treatment from our health authorities?

5. The Hippocratic Oath, which all doctors swear allegiance to when they obtain their medical degrees, states "First, do no harm (primum non nocere)" — is this foundational principle being ignored with the Pfizer injection rollout?
