Delusions of Grandeur and Self-appointed Sages21 Jul 2009 01:14 pm
By Kelvin

Jamie found this wonderful example of bedside manner.

Fact 1: Swine flu was let out into the open by pharmaceutical companies.
Fact 2: People are panicking because despite the fact that 18,000 people a year die from influenza every year in the UK alone, the media are focusing on this issue – why aren’t they focusing on influenza which kills far more annually.
Fact 3: The vaccine is not out yet because pharmaceutical cartels are trying to fix the price at the moment.
Fact 4: It is better to fall ill from whatever rather than be vaccinated.

Dr Mike Norris (M.D. / Ph.D), Liverpool

A woman wakes up in the hospital and says “Doctor, Doctor, I can’t feel my legs!” The Doctor replies, “yes, that’s because the pharmaceutical companies have deliberately released a flesh-eating bacteria into the wild and it’s eaten off your arms. Now they’re trying to fix the price of the cure so we probably won’t be able to afford enough of it to save you before it eats your face off from the inside out.” The woman says, “But Doctor, that’s terrible! Surely if there’s proof that’s the case the government can put some pressure on them in order to save lives?” And the Doctor replies, “Oh yes, PROOF. Just like you want PROOF of 9/11?? You can only see the PROOF when you’re not looking for it just like those supposed FACTS they made us learn at medical school with those fucking milquetoast Doogie Howsers vomiting them back up to the professor for ‘good grades’ and ‘qualifications’ and their ‘Daily Mail isn’t a scientific journal’ and their ‘licences to practice.’ I didn’t cut your arms off by the way. Or try to repair them using ham.”

    Fact 4: It is better to fall ill from whatever rather than be vaccinated.

    But I read that the pharmaceutical companies had let a new killer strain of whatever into the open. But I’m not a doctor, so he may be right.

    That’s odd… If you put “Dr Mike Norris, Liverpool” into google, it says that the good doctor is in fact a plastic surgeon in Burlingame, California and has been practicing there for the last thirty four years. I wonder why he gave a false address? Perhaps he was worried about the dreaded 4.42am text. Very wise.

    The good doctor is right. It was obvious from the start that this had nothing to do with our noble English (not British) hogs, but those burrito-muching beaner pigs can also be exonerated. The whole debacle is, in fact, a shadowy conspiracy cooked up by the liberal media and the pharmaceutical industry in order to extract money from the public and possibly to force them into mass Islamic conversions. Thank the ickle baby Jesus that they have underestimated the sense and levelheadedness of the British public!

    So Mike is a Medical and Academic doctor. I’m with Burnel on this, although I reckon he paid the equivalent of £1.99 each for his qualifications.

    Now I’m not a fancy city Doctor, (gasp!) nor even wear a pair of Freud slippers. I’m just an ordinary armchair psychologist but I’d like to re-phrase some of those factoids

    Fact 1: I cannot envisage other people acting in ways other than my own externally sadistic, internally masochistic character dictates.

    Fact 2: The public (me) are an ignorant and repressed mass who are bullied and controled by uncaring superiors, see fact 1.

    Fact 3: I have not experienced the vaccine for my ills, natural unrepressed orgasm, due to said uncaring superiors machinations, by which I mean my own repressions.

    Fact 4: Its better to spend my time broadcasting my sickbrained paranoid views on whatever rather than allow myself to be brought to orgasm.

    That will be £50, Dr Norris. Same time next week?

    As doctor, I’m often asked, “Doctor, is there any chance that someone on the interent claiming to be a doctor, isn’t really a doctor?”.

    The answer to this is, of course, really very simple. Everyone on the web who uses Dr, doctor, MD and PhD in their username is undoubtedly a genuine doctor of medicinology.

    Any doubts you may have are pure hysteria. Now drink this special medicine I’ve prepared for you my dear and lie back on the couch for your special, er, examination.

    Fact 1 is incorrect.

    Swine Flu almost certainly originates from a large pig farm “La Gloria” in Mexico. La Gloria is owned by Smithfield Foods based in Virginia. They have what John Major would undoubtably call “form” in polluting, having received large fines in California before moving the farm to Mexico.

    The thing that was originally funny was that he thought somebody here decided his opinion was worth suppressing. Reading through the comments since then, that doesn’t seem quite so daft now.

    Oh, and he *is* right about the BBC being a propaganda machine. He’s just a bit confused about whose propaganda it is.

  54. on 21 Jul 2009 at 5:14 pm RadiatorLizard

    @Simon – was just reading today’s comments on the bus home. When I clicked through to your pic of Neil Craig, I laughed out loud. Not a quick ‘ha!’, mind, which would’ve been bad enough, but a bellowing ‘A-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!’, followed by uncontrollable snorting. Yeah, cheers, now I am nearly as big a freak and social outcast as the man himself!

    (Sorry Nelson)

    I think Voltaire Reason’s daughters got a provisional place at private school but then came the parents’ interview…

    PS Don’t mock the woman who is pregnant and scared of swine flu. Yes she’s being ignorant but all sorts of official websites are going ‘Women! If you so much as have a runny nose, you must never think of having a child EVER or, if you are already pregnant, then you and it are going to die or it’ll be a horribly mangled freak of nature if you survive’. It’s really quite depressing. Am surprised that the Daily Heil hasn’t found a way to blame single mothers and/or women over 35 trying for babies for swine flu yet.

    Fact 1: Swine flu was let out into the open by pharmaceutical companies.

    Fact 3: The vaccine is not out yet because pharmaceutical cartels are trying to fix the price at the moment.

    So … pharmaceutical companies go to all the trouble of inventing a not-very-dangerous new virus just to profit from the vaccine, but they’re too busy arguing over the price to put the vaccine on the market when the virus goes pandemic and the world media is apoplectic?

    No wonder their vaccines are shit.

    The GMC has an online searchable register of all Registered Medical Practitioners in the UK. There are three people with surname Norris and a forename Michael, but none of them has an MD (not surprising, as it’s not usual for British doctors to have one, as has been mentioned). Therefore we can deduce that either Norris has been struck off or is lying. This is a shame, as I was going to report him to the GMC if he existed.

    I don’t contribute anything to this site, and only comment at random intervals ( I have better things to do, well I think of better things to do, when I’m not doing them, then I don’t do them as I have wasted too much time thinking of them) but can I be a Hooray Henry who works for the BBC. You can do it Nelson and co. I am good with numbers, like being around people, good communication skills and I have a Advanced GNVQ in Media Studies. I await your reply.

    I know there has been conflicting advice and general scaremongering bullshit, but being pregnant (or indeed “pregant” as the lady chooses to call it) is no excuse for stupidity. I mean, she might as well have ended her statement with “LOL!!!!111!!!”

    Btw I don’t know whether anyone listens to it, but on last week’s ‘The Now Show’ on Radio4, Huge Dennis referenced the insane ‘woman is derived from man’ HYS post that Nelson used last week.

    I wonder whether we have BBC researchers lurking here to nick all the stuff that Nelson spots so they don’t have to trawl through pages of mad mind spurts on the site itself…

    “Fact 2. People are panicking”

    Hang on a cotton-picking minute. Despite the best efforts of just about every livid headline in every newspaper in the country, people are generally taking the sensible attitude of “So what’s for tea then?”

    RadLizard… being pregnant (or indeed “pregant” as the lady chooses to call it) is no excuse for stupidity.

    Actually, it is. Preggy women’s brains are affected by being pregnant. My wife, (normally a high-IQ, chartered architect with a fizzing, sharp brain), at times during pregnancy was a dizzy emotional fluff-head who burst into tears over the smallest things.

    And they used Alex’s “I’m 80 years old and that’s exactly what I fought for” post in the same show. Pretty much beyond doubt that they’re SYB readers.

    I just wish all the comments weren’t taken from the BBC site in the first place. Then I could get uppity about them nicking them :)

    In other news, Neil Craig is censoring my comment on his blog. Well either that, or he’s just too busy to go through his moderation queue. But I’m pretty sure I’m massively important and my opinions are very dangerous so the “censoring” thing is much more likely.

    And mine. I was having much fun paralleling his nutty conspiracy beliefs with ‘Moon Landing Hoax’ conspiracy beliefs. I sent three posts highlighting various similarities (yes, I’m a saddo). He only printed the third one. i.e. he must have received and jumped over the first two. For a man who constantly hammers on about the right to be heard, he’s got a funny way of showing it.

    Can`t help wondering why it happened in time when the worlds gov,banks ect are under the microscope and it did not come during the good times ok during it we had other virus threats that came to nothing but again we were in wars dodgy ones.Is it just to focus away from reality to make us worry about our own and family well being as that would comes first before money and others as killed in dodgy wars.And to put in place more of the new world order that you read about.

    Strangely enough my post here, saying that Nelson’s post saying that I had censored his post on my blog, was untrue, seems to have been censored from here – again.

    However Nelson, being a reputable citizen, will obviously have already posted another post here apologhising that his previous post was untrue. Oops – it isn’t here – has it been censored?

    I can’t be the only one who thinks that the word post has lost all meaning now, after Neil’s post about his post being censored because of Nelson’s post about an untrue post.

  112. on 22 Jul 2009 at 2:37 pm My Foot Hurts.

    Nelson, stop censoring the poor man with your lightning fast censorship skills, removing his posts before they even appear on this entirely unmoderated comment-appear-as-soon-as-you-submit-it* blog.

    You’re making him look like a sad, paranoid, friendless freak.

    * is that the technical term?

  113. on 22 Jul 2009 at 3:08 pm Nelson

    I think “post-moderated” or “reactively moderated” are the terms. Though they both imply I might actually “moderate” stuff, which I never do, as everyone except poor Neil seems to understand.

    I’ve posted another thing on Neil’s blog that’s not there yet either. There’s only 320,235 explanations for this, and I don’t believe any of them.

  114. on 22 Jul 2009 at 3:43 pm Ben

    320,235, eh? Call me paranoid, but it seems a big coincidence that you would choose that number…

    If the Mayan calendar is right, the world is going to end in 2012, which when multiplied by 3 (the real value of pi, until the jew-tocracy took over), and added to the number of mistakes in the “moon landing”, is 52.60101084. Which, coincidentally was the exact age of Christopher Reeve when he died.

    Or did he?

  115. on 22 Jul 2009 at 4:22 pm Nelson

    Of course had we said the same about his “censored” posts he’d say we were lying liars full of lies and lieness.

    In some ways it feels like Neil will disagree with anything, as long as it gives him the chance to be Right On The Internet.
