Neil Oliver: I now have an anxiety about needing to be treated for something serious

"I have been listening to this conversation for years now, and to me, where the disease came from and what it actually was began to feel less important to me than the realization that it wasn't dangerous in that pandemic sense.

Data coming out of a country like Germany has shown that hospital admission in 2019-2020 was actually at a record low, and nothing of clinical interest happened until 2021.

And as it was everywhere, the average age at death was 82-83, which is life expectancy or beyond.

And so whatever it was, whether it was... Whether it was produced by a one-night stand between a pangolin and a bat, or whether it was, however it was engineered in a lab or escape, it wasn't killing people in the way that we were being invited to imagine that it was. And that's what got me.

And then when you invoke the Orwellian aspect of it, 1984 and so on, that's what I found truly frightening, because in amongst the way in which I've woken up to so much...

I almost felt as though George Orwell must have been a time traveler. It almost felt as though he had come forward to 2024 and then gone back to, write, 1984.

Or that governments around the world had begun using it not as a warning or a prophecy, but as some kind of instruction manual.

As a non-scientist, it was those aspects, those aspects that so frightened me. And made me wake up.

Because I have realized that I am now, never mind vaccine hesitant, I now have an anxiety about needing to be treated for something serious, full stop.
I worry about blood transfusions. I worry about what would have been the origin of things that might be introduced to my body in the name of treating it.
And I think if that's happened to me, I wonder at the level of loss of trust and anxiety that's out there in the general population about the medical profession full stop."
