—-當一場大流感政府被醫療官僚劫持
疫情高峰之際，一位專業新冠肺炎病毒學專家大聲疾呼：停止政府目前的措施。
2020年11月13日加拿大埃德蒙頓市議會社區與公眾服務委員會上，Dr. Roger Hodkinson發言這樣指出：
1. 所謂疫症大流行”徹頭徹尾根本就是政客和傳媒搞出來、全無根據的公眾恐慌，是規模史無前例矇騙無知大眾的騙局”。
2. 這個病毒”絕無方法可以控制，應該視之為一次嚴重的流感季 ……本省（埃德蒙頓）65歲以下的死亡率是300,000人中1人”。
3. 它完全是小題大做的”政治操弄醫療，這個遊戲至為危險”，其實”我們要做的就當是去年感到不適時那樣做即可，別無其他”。
4. “口罩半點作用都沒有，從來未有任何證據証明它們有效，無知……無根據乖乖服從戴上，簡直荒謬絕倫”。
5. “保持社交距離毫無作用，因為新冠肺炎是氣霧傳染的，可飄到30米外才降落”。
6. “測試呈陽性結果絕對絕對並非表示臨床上感染，這造成了公眾集體恐慌，所有測試必須馬上停止– 除非你呼吸道有問題要入院才好做”。
7. “把人關起來後果堪輿難以估計”，政府種種”措施後果堪輿：自殺、生意倒閉、殯葬、婚禮等等，令人髮指” ！

非常榮幸有機會對大家講話，我要講的都是用外行的語言表達，直接坦白，說法跟大家的想法不一樣。
為免大家當我做騙子，我先簡報資歷，讓你們明白我這些識見是怎麼來的。
我是病理學醫學專業，研究範圍包括病毒學。我在英國劍橋大學受訓，是醫學會病理學部的前主席，曾在醫學院任助理教授，任教日子不短。我曾任渥太華加拿大皇家醫學院病理學考試局主席，與目前題目最有關的還是我現任北卡來羅納一間生物技術公司的主席，該公司做的是新冠肺炎測試。
所以可以說我對新冠肺炎這話題絕非一無所知呢。說到底我的看法就是：這徹頭徹尾根本就是政客和傳媒搞出來、全無根據的公眾恐慌，是規模史無前例矇騙無知大眾的騙局。這個病毒，絕無方法可以控制，可以做的只是保護一下老弱一族；我們應該視之為一次嚴重的流感季；它不是依波拉也不是沙士，而是政治操弄醫療，這個遊戲至為危險。我們要做的就當是去年感到不適時那樣做即可，別無其他：留在家中，喝雞湯，不去探訪長輩，憑感覺決定何時回去上班；不用誰指點我們怎樣做。
口罩半點作用都沒有，從來未有任何證據証明它們有效，紙口罩和布料口罩都無非是裝模作樣，甚至大部分時間都戴得毫無作用那樣；看著這些不幸無知（無意低貶他們）像旅鼠般走來走去，沒知識根據乖乖服從戴上，簡直荒謬絕倫。
保持社交距離毫無作用，因為新冠肺炎是氣霧傳染的，可飄到30米外才降落，把人關起來後果堪輿難以估計。所有場所都應該明天恢復開放，一如我早傳閱那份《大巴靈頓宣言》 (https://gbdeclaration.org/)所云。
講到測試：我要強調自己是從測試業務的，我要強調測試呈陽性結果絕對絕對並非表示臨床上感染，這造成了公眾集體恐慌，所有測試必須馬上停止– 除非你呼吸道有問題要入院才好做。
該做的只是保障易染病者，讓他們在你們管轄的護老院好好生活，給他們人人每天3,000至5.000國際單位的維他命D，這個証明了可大大減低感染風險。
我提醒大家：本省65歲以下的死亡率是300,000人中1人 — 300,000人中1人! 請認真想清楚記著。大家毫無証據下反應那樣厲害，簡直荒謬絕倫，你們所建議的措施後果堪輿：自殺、生意倒閉、殯葬、婚禮等等，令人髮指！這只不過是場大流感，請大家快清醒吧。
讓大眾自行決定怎樣做好了，拜托不要再碰醫療，你們被本省健康主管牽著鼻子走，搞成這樣可怕可悲，我非常憤慨。明天就該停止。
謝謝大家！

I do appreciate the opportunity to address you on this very important matter. What I’m going to say is lay language, and blunt. It is counter-narrative, and so you don’t immediately think I’m a quack, I’m going to briefly outline my credentials so that you can understand where I’m coming from in terms of knowledge base in all of this.
I’m 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 an 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 and Pathology in Ottawa, but more to the point I’m currently the chairman of a biotechnology company in selling the COVID-19 test.
And [inaudible] you might say I know a little bit about all of 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 older, more vulnerable people. It should be thought of 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 felt unwell.
We stayed home, we took chicken noodle soup, we didn’t visit granny and we decided when we would return to work. We didn’t need anyone to tell us. Masks are utterly useless. There is no evidence base for their effectiveness whatsoever. Paper masks and fabric masks are simply virtue-signaling. They’re not even worn effectively most of the time. It’s utterly ridiculous. Seeing these unfortunate, uneducated people — I’m not saying that in a pejorative sense — seeing these people walking around like lemmings, obeying without any knowledge base, to put the mask on their face.
Social distancing is also useless because COVID is spread by aerosols which travel 30 meters or so before landing. Enclosures have had such terrible unintended
consequences. Everywhere should be opened tomorrow as well as was stated in the Great Barrington Declaration that I circulated prior to this meeting.
And a word on testing: I do want to emphasize that I’m in the business of testing for COVID. I do want to emphasize 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 the hospital with some respiratory problem.
All that should be done is to protect the vulnerable and to give them all in the nursing homes that are under your control, give them all 3,000 to 5,000 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 province’s own statistics, the risk of death under 65 in this province is one in 300,000. One in 300,000. You’ve got to get a grip on this.
The scale of the response that you are undertaking with no evidence for it is utterly ridiculous given the consequences of acting in a way that you’re proposing. All kinds of suicides, business closures, funerals, weddings etc. It’s simply outrageous! It’s just another bad flu and you’ve got to get your minds around that.
Let people make their own decisions. You should be totally out of the business of medicine. You’re being led down the garden path by the chief medical officer of health for this province. I am absolutely outraged that this has reached this level. It should all stop tomorrow.
Thank you very much.
