If anyone believes we are facing difficult times because of coronavirus COVID-19, with the unreasonable constraints on social life, the destruction of job, livelihoods, and the economy, and the full frontal attack on human rights and liberty - we may need to think again. Animals with an infection get a much worse deal.
This BBC article (published 5th November 2020) concerns Bird Flu. There has been an outbreak of bird flu in two poultry farms in Holland and "the Dutch authorities are racing to contain it". There have been similar outbreaks in chickens, and wild birds in north Germany.
The treatment for this outbreak of influenza is to cull, to slaughter, the birds! A farm in the Dutch town of Puiflijk, and another nearby, have been told to cull 200,000 chickens. One farm in Frodsham, England, has had to cull 13,000 birds; another in Kent has also been ordered to slaughter the birds.
And the article goes on to state that Germany's worst bird flu outbreak was in 2016-1027, "when more than 900,000 birds were culled".
So whatever difficulties we may experience during this current lockdown, at least we are not being culled or slaughtered. So perhaps we should think ourselves lucky - perhaps.
Or perhaps we should begin to ask ourselves what sort of medical system is it that is quite unable to deal with outbreaks of viral infections - with birds, animal, humans or anything else? I have asked the question before.
Veterinary medicine and Avian Flu. What good is it if it has to kill the patients? Mass slaughter is not medicine!
Veterinary Medicine kills Badgers as a Treatment for Bovine TB. How sensible is this?
Veterinary Medicine. A monopoly occupation that kills its patients
So although our lives have certainly been damaged, in so many ways, by government policy, informed by conventional medical science, we should perhaps consider ourselves lucky pharmaceutical medicine has not been allowed to cull us.
Lockdown does not work.
This is becoming clearer as the days and months pass. Lockdown is necessary only because conventional medicine (on its own admission) has no effective treatment. Lockdown is the only alternative conventional medicine has to effective medical treatment. And note: lockdown is necessary, not for us, but to "save the NHS"; that is, to save an organisation which is dominated and controlled by pharmaceutical medicine. Without lockdown the NHS would be overwhelmed - because it has no treatment - because each individual contracting the virus either has to overcome it through his/her natural immunity - or die.
It is a hopeless situation; and will continue to be a hopeless situation until we work out what is happening, and why it is happening.
It all has to do with the failure of conventional medicine, something I have argued and written about in detail.
But let us be thankful too.
At least we are not poultry, or cows, or badgers ....
.... that would be a fate equal to death!
