- 0:13Low. OK.
- 0:13So about two weeks ago, I was listening to this, this report,
- 0:20this interview on the radio and it was someone who was involved
- 0:24with, well, it's actually a professional at doing modeling
- 0:29the, you know, the kind of models that tell us that kind of
- 0:33predict the future mathematically says, oh, this is
- 0:36what's going to happen. So all these models were used
- 0:39during the plan endemic. So you probably remember people
- 0:43like Anastasia Palache and Dan Andrews standing up and said,
- 0:47you know, saying things like we've looked at the modeling,
- 0:49this is where it's predicted. This is what's going to happen.
- 0:51This is the reason why you need to be locked up in your home.
- 0:55This is the reason why you need to wear masks.
- 0:59This is the reason why. Because we've looked at the
- 1:01modeling and the modeling predicts that there's going to
- 1:03be all of these deaths, that all these things are going to
- 1:07happen. And yet the modeling says that
- 1:09if you wear masks, if you do this, if you get the the jab,
- 1:13well then we can, we're making these predictions.
- 1:16This is what's going to happen. The problem is all this modeling
- 1:19was wrong. It's all been wrong.
- 1:23And I'm listening to this interview a couple of weeks ago,
- 1:26and this is a, this is a person who's actually involved with
- 1:30modeling. This is his job.
- 1:31That's what he does. And he was actually doing some
- 1:33of the modeling for COVID-19, and he's sitting there saying
- 1:38the modeling was wrong. And my head is being blown away
- 1:43because I'm sitting there going, why isn't this receiving a lot
- 1:46more coverage, our politicians standing up and locking us down?
- 1:53Why? Why isn't this received more
- 1:57coverage? So let's have a look at it and
- 2:01there's a few things coming our way.
- 2:03I believe, and I don't think it's going to be good.
- 2:05COVID-19 showed modeling as broken.
- 2:08This needs urgent fixing. We need to change the future of
- 2:11modeling to be more responsible and inclusive after seeing how
- 2:15failed COVID-19 models ruled the world in our lives during the
- 2:18pandemic. So I'm I'm not going to read the
- 2:23whole lot, just some various things throughout here.
- 2:26And it gives 3 reasons why the models failed.
- 2:30So as COVID-19 rapidly spread across the world, researchers
- 2:33and policy makers raced to create models predicting how the
- 2:36pandemic would unfold, including the potential loss of life.
- 2:39As I said, you can remember all of our premiers, our Prime
- 2:43Minister at the time, standing up and talking about the models
- 2:47that were predicting the future and how everything was going to
- 2:49unfold. We all remember it.
- 2:52For better or for worse, these models controlled our basic
- 2:55rights. They advised governments and
- 2:57populations. They shut borders and separated
- 2:59families for months on end. They determined the the the
- 3:04stringency of isolation requirements.
- 3:06They indicated if and where we should wear masks, and they
- 3:10decided when loved ones could reunite and finally hug.
- 3:16They profoundly shaped our everyday lives.
- 3:18Unfortunately, many of the models built predict the
- 3:21pandemic were wrong. It's nice to know now, and not
- 3:26just by a bit. They were way off.
- 3:30As we start to live in the COVID Normal world, it's time to take
- 3:33stock of our model of how we model and how we can do it
- 3:37better. So this chapter says this
- 3:40doctor. Sorry, it's Doctor Hassan
- 3:44Nabavi. So he says that my research
- 3:48shows the problems with many COVID-19 models were due to
- 3:51three major factors. Goes on to list factor 1
- 3:55assumptions and values. Like other models, COVID-19
- 3:59models were built on a specific set of assumptions about the
- 4:02nature of the virus, including its properties, rate of
- 4:05infection, and rate of mortality.
- 4:07Different models may make different assumptions and yield
- 4:10different predictions. Some of the assumptions made
- 4:13during modeling did not reflect the reality of the pandemic on
- 4:17the ground. For example, in many models it
- 4:19was an assumption that the population was relatively
- 4:22immobile and had a consistent level of susceptibility to the
- 4:26virus. Another example in another
- 4:29example of failure, the Doherty model which guided Australia's
- 4:32COVID-19 response overlooked the viruses impact on different
- 4:38ethnic communities by assuming equal vaccine distribution,
- 4:42understating the risk to certain communities.
- 4:45All models are built on assumptions, so this is not just
- 4:49a failing of those trying to represent COVID-19.
- 4:52However it does question the values guiding an attempt, any
- 4:56type of modeling and how modeling is then deployed.
- 5:00Factor 2 maths and uncertainty models operate differently based
- 5:06on the characteristic of their engine, that is the maths behind
- 5:10them. For modeling COVID-19, various
- 5:13mathematical techniques were used to emulate how the virus
- 5:16spread and when the pandemic would peak, each with its own
- 5:20limitations and benefits. None of them were perfect.
- 5:24For example, the well known Sir SAR Susceptible, Susceptible,
- 5:29Infected, Recovered models largely failed in predicting the
- 5:33epidemic. In the long term, most models
- 5:38also fail to deal with uncertainty.
- 5:42Factor 3 context models have and make their own context.
- 5:46A model is not only the representation of the situation,
- 5:50but also the product of many socio political interactions.
- 5:54The problem with COVID-19 models was that they were generally
- 5:57detached from local knowledge and history or being attached to
- 6:02a global narrative framing COVID-19 and potential
- 6:05responses. I think of you know this local
- 6:10knowledge and history. There was several times in the
- 6:15NT when they had lockdowns. There was 1/3 day lockdown that
- 6:21they had where if you were not if you did not, had not received
- 6:25any vaccination. You were not allowed to go to
- 6:28work, but you were not even allowed to go outside in your
- 6:31backyard, even if you were the only person who lived in the
- 6:35house. If you are unvaccinated, you
- 6:37weren't allowed in your own backyard.
- 6:40You're in the NT, a place that is known for its heat, COVID-19.
- 6:48If you were outside in the heat and not locked up in some dank
- 6:54dark house, you're very, very much less likely to get sick.
- 7:00And but as they're saying here, you know, they they weren't
- 7:04taking into account local knowledge, history, the local
- 7:07surroundings. And yet that their politicians
- 7:12are quoting this modelling and using that to lock people down,
- 7:17even locking them down to not even be able to go on your own
- 7:20backyard. You're crying out loud.
- 7:23The backyard of someone living in the NT in a small town in the
- 7:27NT is completely different from someone who lives in a little
- 7:32tiny unit in inner Sydney, inner Melbourne.
- 7:38But you know, this is, this is the problem when you rely on
- 7:42models, and that's all you're going to rely on anyway, Get
- 7:46back to it. The problem with cure Now where
- 7:49is it? The question here is not that
- 7:51how models should be locally translated, but how they should
- 7:54be deliberately deliberative, deliberatively inclusively and
- 8:00democratically negotiated with different mentalities.
- 8:06There's no democratic negotiation with ours here in
- 8:10Australia. We're just told this is what's
- 8:12gonna happen. You get arrested if you don't go
- 8:14along with it. Responsible modeling should be
- 8:20our highest priority. First hand experience of the
- 8:22pandemic clearly tells us that society needs to take the power
- 8:26of models seriously, particularly those models that
- 8:29are actively shaping policy decision.
- 8:31This is the whole problem that they use these stupid models to
- 8:34shape policy decision and and politicians, they're all just
- 8:39about the next election. That's all they care about.
- 8:41They don't. Well, there's no actual good
- 8:44leadership in our nation. I don't think there there hasn't
- 8:47been any good leadership in the end of the upper echelon of
- 8:50society for a long time when it comes to our politicians.
- 8:56Where is it? A models, assumptions, math and
- 8:59context need to be understood as part of a wider conversation
- 9:02that takes place. COVID-19 models incorporated
- 9:05more than just the science that was shaped by political agendas
- 9:09and public demands. Political agendas and public
- 9:14demands. And this is a problem.
- 9:15Political agenda was what was shaping, really shaping the
- 9:20models that we used, I believe. So that is what has caused a lot
- 9:29of problems that we've seen while the pandemic was going on.
- 9:33Caused a lot of the lockdowns. Unnecessarily being locked down
- 9:37in our own house, being forced, being placed under the thumb,
- 9:42being forced under control to be under the control of or
- 9:47whatever. Whoever was out there trying to
- 9:49control us. It's we all know who they are.
- 9:51Realistically. The thing is why this is even
- 9:57more important Now let's talk about a couple of other articles
- 10:01that have just come up. Sky News is reporting how nurses
- 10:05have been sacked for refusing COVID jab despite QLD lifting
- 10:11vaccine mandate. This is only just happening.
- 10:16Bring it up so you can follow along.
- 10:18Check out what's going on. So this article is so
- 10:24experienced nurses in Queensland who was stood down after
- 10:27refusing to get the COVID-19 vaccine during the pandemic and
- 10:30now being sacked from their jobs.
- 10:35This is despite the state government lifting the vaccine
- 10:37mandate in September of last year 2023.
- 10:41What a ridiculous situation, is what this host has said.
- 10:44So we have this the shortage, the shortage of nurses.
- 10:49Sure. Well, when I said before about
- 10:54bad leadership, it it's, and I've said this before, it seems
- 10:58like some of our leadership are trying to destroy our society
- 11:02that are purposely making decisions that are bad for our
- 11:05society as the whole. We need nurses.
- 11:09We need good, experienced nurses.
- 11:11So what do they do? Experienced nurses that had the
- 11:16courage not to take the jab? OK, everything's been rolled
- 11:23back. No more mandates, Don't have to
- 11:25get vaccinated anymore. But because they didn't do as
- 11:28they're told back then, Forget your experience.
- 11:31We don't care. But we don't care that we have a
- 11:34shortage of nurses. We don't care that we need more
- 11:36medical staff, especially more experienced medical staff.
- 11:39No, no, you're out, you're out. What kind of leadership is that
- 11:46in Queensland? It feels like they are purposely
- 11:49trying to destroy our society, destroy our way of life.
- 11:55And why is that? Could it be that there is
- 11:59something on the horizon and I feel like I'm just making, well,
- 12:07I don't know, just this is just, I think this is what's coming up
- 12:12and This is why. Well, I just think they're doing
- 12:15this on purpose. They're doing these things on
- 12:18purpose. They lack.
- 12:20Well, who was it that said, it's just, you know, these are the
- 12:23useful idiots. These are the useful idiots that
- 12:25make these decisions. And why is it we've got another
- 12:31one coming? I believe we've got another one
- 12:33around the corner this year. Is this what's happening?
- 12:38Experts express serious concerns over new JN .1 COVID variant.
- 12:45The world is facing a new challenge in the ongoing
- 12:48COVID-19 pandemic with the emergence of JN 1A variant that
- 12:52has quickly garnered the attention of health experts
- 12:55globally. Sounds very, very professional.
- 13:01This variant, arising from the Omicron lineage, marks a
- 13:04significant shift in the virus's behavior and spread.
- 13:09Having spread to around 41 countries, Jay and One first
- 13:12came to light with its detection in Luxembourg and has been
- 13:16rapidly expanding its footprint since then.
- 13:19The World Health Organization, You know we're in trouble anyway
- 13:29when they're getting involved again.
- 13:31The World Health Organization has acknowledged the variant
- 13:34swift proliferation by categorizing it as a variant of
- 13:37interest. Health authorities are now on
- 13:41high alert as The Who predicts the surge.
- 13:45Predicting they're predicting it because they're making it
- 13:47happen. Predicting a surge in
- 13:49respiratory illnesses attributed to JN one spread, according to
- 13:54the National Herald India. Prominent voices in the medical
- 13:57community, including Doctor Eric Topol and Doctor Michael
- 14:02Osterholm, have expressed serious concerns about JN One.
- 14:06They emphasize that this variant represents a significant
- 14:09development in the virus's evolution.
- 14:13It's an evolution. It's not that they created it in
- 14:16the 1st place, it's the evolution and warned that the
- 14:19pandemic's trajectory is far from over.
- 14:24So these doctors further stress JN One's unique characteristics,
- 14:28underscoring it's unprecedented genetic change and potential to
- 14:32dominate future virus lineages. There you go.
- 14:39So that's what I think they're they're telling us all this
- 14:42because obviously as we've seen the last couple of years, they
- 14:44just, you know, they don't really try to hold to hide the
- 14:48truth. They well they kind of try and
- 14:50hide the truth, but then they they put it out there, drip feed
- 14:53us. This is what's happening just to
- 14:56feed this little bit and then it's, hey, we've told you about
- 14:58it. We've we've warned you.
- 15:02I think this is what's coming. I think this is, this is what
- 15:05we've got ahead for 2024. I don't, I don't think 2424 is
- 15:10going to be a great year for the world as a whole.
- 15:15If you're a Christian, you know where your hope lies.
- 15:18But if you're not, I think this is where we what we've got in
- 15:22store. OK, We have, I think we've got
- 15:26another pandemic. It's on our way, on the way.
- 15:29It's just a they're just going to roll out what they've already
- 15:32been done. We've already seen news stories
- 15:33coming out about how in in the States mass mandates are being
- 15:38put back into effect. We've been talking about
- 15:41lockdowns again, it's always been on the news.
- 15:43They're just getting us ready, just drip feeding us all these
- 15:46little bits and then they'll say, hey, modeling shows.
- 15:51Forget all that other modeling. It was, it was wrong, but we
- 15:54fixed the problem with the modeling and math is now on
- 15:57point. But the modeling shows you need
- 15:59to be locked down again. You need to do this well.
- 16:02We want to keep a track of people.
- 16:04So we're going to have to get rid of cash even more quickly,
- 16:06even quicker than we assumed. Let's get rid of the cash.
- 16:10Everything is contactless. Everything you know will will
- 16:14move into the the Central, the CBDC, the central banking system
- 16:19that we've got set up. So no more cash.
- 16:22We need to be able to track everyone through cash.
- 16:24Don't worry about all these other apps, we'll just track you
- 16:27by your spending. Every time you yell to move your
- 16:30car, every time you do anything, we'll be able to track you.
- 16:34And it's all because while we want to keep a track of the JN
- 16:37One virus, then you COVID One Virus and then modelling shows
- 16:41that you need to do as you're told.
- 16:46Yep. This is where we're going.
- 16:50This is where I think we're going.
- 16:51Let me know what you think. Thank you for listening to the
- 16:54slippery slope plan. Demick They.
