This post was just recently censored on LinkedIn for not meeting community standards.
In making this post, I tried to be as cautious as possible to highlight this opinion of the next stage of the pandemic. Maybe too emotional or probably too sensational.
Let me know your thoughts.
WOULD OVER 100 MILLION EXCESS DEATHS IN THE NEXT YEAR SHOCK YOU?
Then, please do not read any further.
I hesitated to put this post on #linkedin because I could be wrong. However, what if this is right?
These predictions are based on the fact that my research indicates severe COVID-19 is a viral mediated autoimmune disease. Extrapolation of autoimmune complications leads me to these conclusions. These deaths are not just related to respiratory complications through COVID-19. In fact, this may be a small proportion. The expectation is mainly cardiometabolic, thromboembolic, neurologic and malignancy.
In early 2020 as the COVID-19 pandemic hit Italy, I knew it would spread throughout Europe and the rest of the world. My research started immediately to try and understand how to mitigate mortality. Recall worrying about the use of ACE inhibitors (turned out not to be a problem - not every concern is correct) but the mortality was as expected when it hit the UK.
Currently, I am more anxious than March 2020.
The water is pulling back quickly from the beach and everyone is just looking and pointing at the interesting phenomenon. There is no realisation from the hundreds on the beach that it strongly indicates a tsunami will arrive in the next few minutes.
Do you shout a warning to everyone while running to higher ground?
There is no way to completely prevent mortality in this circumstance, but it can be mitigated if people move quickly.
In April 2022, as Omicron cases started to rise across the world, that represented the water starting to recede. It was a red flag moment in my opinion, as it should not happen, even with a new variant.
The tsunami wave is now on the horizon and even trying to move to higher ground now, may be too late.
I am willing to be the idiot that inappropriately shouted tsunami on the beach and nothing happened.
Could not live with myself if I remained silent because of fear.
Dear God, please let me be wrong!
Would you want to know what could happen next in the COVID-19 pandemic?
Thanks for sharing. The silence coming from the majority of our fellow medical colleagues is something close to criminal. Corruption and other bad things have taken full control. We must keep talking.
Thanks a lot for this Philip. I am surprised this post was removed, as your wording is very cautious. You do not even mention the vaccines. But then, the censorship seems to be getting worse and worse. My own profile is still restricted. The reasons? Sharing an interesting article on China's foreign policy which appeared in an Indian journal. Sharing an article on the mokeypox simulation last year and how prescient they were. Sharing a peer reviewed study that shows masks don't work. Their problem is they don't seem to have a clue about their own policies. As an example they have not been able to explain to me what a user should do if guidance by health authorities is contradictory, for example regarding child-vaccination, masks or other things, allowed or recommended in some countries but not in others. Reminds you a bit of how the code of law functions in a totalitarian state; the written code is simply irrelevant.
