Please confirm you're still there Tom.

How kind of you to be concerned about my health. I think you should worry about everyone because we are soon to be faced with severe food shortages. Whilst the political elite don't need to concern themselves about such mundane matters, most of the world does. Sanctions on Russia are limiting the availability of fertilizer to farmers all over the world at this crucial farming time- spring. Nutrition is the key to health and food shortages are going to impact it in a far more serious way than a nasty flu. Stupidity, lizards and principled stands may be your choice but they're certainly not mine and as you're so keen on advising, I'll return the favour and suggest you make growing some food in your garden a priority. You're going to need it and it'll be much more use than the gene jab genie that shoots for the moon.

I hope and think you are being unnecessary alarmist Tom. There will be some shortages in specific products from time to time I suspect and the price of food will undoubtedly rise. As food expenditure as a percentage of income has never been this low, for it to rise a bit won't have a hugely significant effect on most people. Apologies to people already struggling but most people aren't and will be able to absorb it. It might mean a cruise round the Mediterranean rather than the Caribbean for some people or going out to eat a bit less or a camping holiday and cancelling the sky subscription for a while. Hopefully the people who really are struggling to make ends meet will get more assistance from the government. People in the third world where food is already a far higher proportion of income will also suffer disproportionately more.
Basically Tom, you and I and the majority of people in this area don't need to dig up the rose garden just yet.
Incidentally, I never did find out what your objection to the covid jabs was. Please can you tell me. I had covid recently and was very glad that the jabs were helping me to feel less bad than I actually did feel. It hits everyone differently but if it is bad it is very bad. Really not just a cold.

It felt far worse contracting covid than having any of the three jabs side-effects. I'm more confident now that if i were to get it again, it would be milder due to the 3 jabs, plus the original infection (although that was quite some time ago now). I don't feel like my DNA has been altered....
Anyways, why you so desperate to get sanctions on Russia lifted? Do you want their invasion to be more or less successful?

All the medical evidence seems to me to suggest that I got it less severely due to the effect of the jabs. Medical comparisons of covid sufferers who have and haven't had the vaccinations seems to me to be sound evidence of this.
As for getting it Tom I will only say that until I got it I was certain that I wouldn't until I did. Be very careful who you mix with Tom. I am still interested to know why you don't have the jab. Please can you tell me. No reason Tom but I am curious.

The jibjabs do not prevent infection.
They do not prevent transmission.
They are experimental with no long term testing.
The manufacturers are legally protected from being sued if they kill you.
The "government" is legally obliged to follow instructions from the totally unelected WHO if they announce a "pandemic" of any disease whatsoever, no matter how innocuous.
The WHO is advised by Ferguson who has a track record of stupendously ludicrous, exaggerated predictions of disaster.
The WHO itself predicted that it's lockdowns would kill many more than the disease in poorer nations.

I accept that the vaccines dont eliminate transmission or infection, but they almost certainly reduce it, and they absolutely help our immune system with reducing the more damaging affects of covid if you do get it.
Yes, small percentages matter, just like minorities in general. A vaccine to protect thousands of people dying from covid is totally worth it...as that is the reality of your survival rate stat. A small percentage suffer and died from covid, and in subsequent waves the only ones dying and/or hospitalised disproportionately were unvaccinated folks. Its really not hard to grasp. How many billions recieved vaccines in the past year or so? The population hasnt been secretly culled by this menacing vaccine, but the evidence to show its efficacy is significant. Perhaps you will have the last laugh as all us vaccinated grow a 3rd eyeball, but i think you may be once again on the wrong side of history. You're used to it by now, surely.

Anti-vax stuff pretty much sums it all up. Plenty of lies and conspiracies in there, and generally downplaying a pandemic thats killed millions. There is almost certainly more room for a conspiracy theory to be real however with covid, than say on climate change....as the general consensus over man made climate change is virtually 100% of scientists. At least with covid, its newish and mistakes were bound to me made, which then can be used to totally undermine the entire thing. The several million dead, and the efficacy of the vaccines shown time and time again in studies, suggests to me its legit. My point being, that if you think man made climate change is a hoax, despite the overwhelming evidence and support to the contrary, then covid would definitely bring out your cynicism.
Its also worth sanity checking your own thoughts and beliefs sometimes.....for example, is there a common theme on the kinds of people you find sharing your views with? I must admit, if i found myself agreeing with David Icke and Qanon on a regular basis, i'd probably seek professional help....

You've been accused of repeating lies Tom. If you think that means you have been accused of lying that is you putting an incorrect interpretation on it. You also seem to resistant to the idea that what you believe in are conspiracies. I accept that you have not used the word conspiracy but it is implicit in your stated views. You believe that the 99% of climate scientists who have proved that the current heating of the planet is caused by human action are in some kind of conspiracy for their own purposes.
Similarly you seem to believe that a conspiracy of people destroyed the twin towers for their own nefarious ends and invented the story of the terrorists. Why did the tower collapse? Well our limited experience of planes being flown into tower blocks would suggest that in 100% of cases it does.
As for typical denier tactics Tom, you seem pretty well versed in those. Noone accused you of lying but stating it allows you to make that the issue.
All of the "conspiracy theories" that I accused you of holding, you have argued for on this forum. You haven't called them conspiracy theories but that is what they are. I occasionally pick you up on various points for my own amusement. Looks like green does the same but we both know that it is utterly futile. You don't follow any of the conventions of proper discussion. Your most recent post is a classic for its mixture of being victimised, false accusations, insults against others and avoiding any discussion of the points made.
You have succeeded in turning the whole forum into a forum for discussing you and your ridiculous points Tom. Your tactic of bombarding every thread with your own irrelevant points based on conspiracy theories has succeeded in deterring all the other posters thinking they were having a proper discussion. They realise it is impossible with you. The only sad ones left are you, me and green.
Anyway, don't let me deter you Tom. Wasn't it a great achievement putting men on the moon Tom.

@nev - i think TP may be referring to buildings in Manhattan that were not directly hit on 9/11 by aircraft. "Building 5" - which i must admit thought it was "Building 7 WTC", famously came down some hours later after the twin towers collapsed and many were confused as to why or how it came down as it only suffered from fires from debris rather than a direct hit.
I remember being curious about it myself, and more so when I kept reading some of the former occupants of WTC Building 7. It became a popular conspiracy theory quite quickly that it was some sort of cover-up, and inside that building had all the big secrets and plans that the world was not meant to discover, so the building had to be "removed".....while it sounds very exciting, no one can be sure, and investigators have debunked any demolition explosive theory as no sounds were detected before it collapsed, leading to the much larger probability that the intense fires just weakened the structure throughout the day.
Not heard TP dismiss the moon landings yet....but I would not be shocked to the core if he started demanding why the american flag wavered in that iconic Apollo 11 footage....and "WHAT ABOUT THE SHADOWWWWSSS"!

I'm gonna give this 9/11 conspiracy theory a pass though. It was a pretty chaotic day (to put it mildly!), so I suspect all sorts of information was bombarding journalists and a lot of misinformation and crossed wires happened. Seems that this fact-checker would agree. A reporting error from Reuters apparently. Given that the building was on fire for nearly 7 hours by that time, there could well have been rumours about its imminent collapse doing the rounds. No explosions were reported as mentioned earlier to signify a controlled demolition.
I've not given the moon-landing conspiracy theories much thought over the past decade or so. Sure I watched something years back which raised eyebrows....but on balance, I think the moon landing was legit!

Always very happy to hear from you Tom although I do prefer it to be in the correct thread as this improves overall discussion or did in the days when that happened. Can't pretend to be very surprised about your scepticism of the moon buggy. I'm assuming you are sceptical about man landing on the moon at all. Correct? This would give you the full set.
Apparently people who believe in conspiracy theories are usually good at seeing patterns like faces in the clouds. In other words illusionary patterns. They are also like likely to be educated in critical thinking skills although they might be intelligent. They do however have an inflated sense of their own intelligence which allied with their lack of critical thinking skills and tendency to see patterns where none exists makes belief in a conspiracy more likely. Believing in a conspiracy and feeling part of a restricted community of fellow believers can help you to feel special and alleviate your feelings of anxiety and lack of control.
There you are Tom. I don't expect you to believe any of it applies to you and maybe it doesn't. THEY would say that wouldn't they.

I constantly try to improve my critical thinking skills and will take on board your points. I actually never follow the news in papers or any media which is why I seldom comment on topical matters.
