November 2020 "THIS is a Meeting Privately Recorded in EDMONTON Alberta Canada last week!' https://www.bitchute.com/video/hBNU47BfLGJC/ Dr Roger Hodkinson "counter narrative" speech Briefly outlined his credentials to establish his knowledge base and to assure the audience that he is not a "quack"! In his own words, Dr Hodkinson is a "medical specialist in pathology, which includes virology, I trained at Cambridge University in the UK, I'm the ex-president of the pathology section of the medical association. I was previously the assistant professor in the faculty of Medicine doing a lot of teaching. I was the chairman of the royal college of physicians of Canada examination committee of pathology in Ottawa. But more to the point I'm currently the chairman of a biotechnology company in North Carolina selling you COVID-19 tests, and you might say I know a little bit about all this. The bottom line is simply this, there is utterly unfounded public hysteria driven by the media and politicians, it's outrageous. This is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on an unsuspecting public. There is absolutely nothing that can be done to contain this virus, other than protecting your more vulnerable people. It should be though as nothing more than a bad flu season. This is not Ebola, it's not SARS. It's politics playing medicine, and that's a very dangerous game. There is no action of any kind needed, other than what happened last year when we got a bit unwell; we stayed at home, we took chicken noodle soup, we didn't visit granny, and WE decided when we would return to work, we didn't have anyone to tell us. Masks are utterly useless. There is no evidence base for their effectiveness what so ever. Paper masks and fabric masks are simply virtue signalling.... it' utterly ridiculous... Social distancing is also useless because COVID is spread by aerosols which travels 30 metres or so before landing. And closures have had such terrible unintended consequences. Everywhere should be open tomorrow, as was stated in The Great Barrington Declaration.... And a word on testing. I do what to emphasise I'm in the business of testing for COVID. I do what to emphasise that positive test results do not, underlined in neon, mean a clinical infection. It's simply driving public hysteria, and all testing should stop, unless you're presenting to hospital with some respiratory problem. All that should be done is to protect the vulnerable, and to give them all in the nursing homes...three to five thousand international units of vitamin D every day, which has been shown to radically reduce the likelihood of infection. And I would remind you all, that using the provinces own statistics, the risk of death under 65 in this province, is 1 in 300,000...you gotta get a grip on this! The scale of the response you are undertaking, with no evidence for it, is utterly ridiculous given the consequences of acting in the way that you're proposing. All kinds of suicides, business closings, funerals, weddings, etc. etc. it's simply outrageous. ITS JUST ANOTHER BAD FLU and you've gotta get your minds around that. Let people make their own decisions. You should be totally out of the business of medicine. You've been led down the garden path the chief medical officer of health of this province. I'm absolutely outraged that this has reached this level. It should all stop tomorrow. Thank you very much.
