[Ivor Cummins, an Irish health activist and the current Chief Program Officer for Irish Heart Disease Awareness, gives his running commentary on a debate on an Irish television program concerning Covid and what he calls “Lockdown Ideology”. He’s in full agreement with Prof Lee that lockdowns do more harm than the disease itself and should be abandoned. — KATANA]
Miriam O’Callaghan: Let me turn to you first Professor Lee. You really don’t believe in lockdowns! You think they’re pointless. Why?
Professor Lee: Well I think at the very beginning of the epidemic, in March, there were genuine reasons for concern.
But I think for several months now it’s been clear that this virus is not the new plague that it was feared that it would be. And yet we continue to act as if it is that new plague. We’ve also continued to act in this way despite major harms caused by lockdowns. And despite very little evidence that lockdown, social distancing, masks, & all the other things that have been introduced, actually work on a societal basis. So we’re actually causing more harm both in terms of death & in terms of quality of life, by the actions we’re taking for a virus that’s within the envelope for the last 30 years.
Miriam O’Callaghan: And yet Professor Lee, in this country right now cases are rising exponentially! So how do you stop the cases rising, if you don’t have a lockdown? Because the knock-on effect is we get more hospitalizations, more people in ICU [Intensive Care Unit], more pressures on our health service. And eventually it won’t be able to cope!
Professor Lee: Well I mean, my argument is if your health service, or any health service, isn’t up to providing the care that’s needed you should increase capacity. What you shouldn’t do is imprison your entire population & do epidemiological and biological experiments on people, which don’t have any way of being verified! Which don’t have any evidence to support them, and cause, as I said, great harm!
There’s also a problem that in this phase of the pandemic, people have equated positive tests with cases! Now this isn’t correct. This is simply wrong! In the normal winter we never obsessively test the population for any virus to the extent to which this virus is being tested for. And the fact is, if you have a positive test, but you’re not unwell, you cannot be regarded as a case of this disease. You’re just somebody who’s got a virus!
The only people who in a normal winter turn up as cases of this disease, are people are admitted to hospital people who become seriously ill! And they’re a very tiny proportion of the number of positive tests that you would do, if you tested everybody.
The fact is that for people under 70, the infection fatality rate for this disease is 0.05 percent, which is about half of flu. And it’s likely to be even lower than that because, of course, we don’t truly know what the denominator [the bottom number in a fraction] is, because we haven’t been testing in the wider population.
And many of the tests that have been done, the antibody tests, are the wrong tests to be doing! Because we should be testing people’s T-cells, which should show that a lot of people already have pre-existing resistance to this virus.
So on very many levels the approach to this virus, both scientifically and medically, is simply wrong!...

Remember, folks: This is a virus so deadly that the vast majority of people have to take a test to find out whether they've had it or not.
With a 0.23% overall infection fatality rate (the latest best estimate according to the WHO), a rate comparable to the seasonal flu, and a rate which falls precipitously to 0.05% when you exclude the over 70s, it should be clear to all by now that the draconian, freedom-curbing measures being imposed on our societies by today's rootless, corrupt, psychopathic elites are not about controlling the virus but about controlling YOU, & using the unwarranted fear & panic they've stoked up to advance their social engineering agenda.
