Off Guardian’s official position on the so-called Covid “pandemic” – as reasoned and evidenced in our “40 Facts” – is that no new or distinct disease existed, and that all illness labelled as “Covid” was due to reclassification of regular endemic diseases collectively known as “influenza like illness” (ILI).
Without fully re-litigating the case, this is backed-up by “Covid” symptoms being clinically indistinguishable from ILI, the “Covid” death rate being similar to ILI, and the complete statistical disappearance of seasonal flu during the so-called “pandemic”.

Over the last few days this has brought us into conflict with some fellow Covid sceptics who maintain that Covid does exist, and – moreover – was likely engineered in a laboratory.
More specifically, we have clashed with people who claim they were infected with Covid and that it was “more than just the flu” – or some variation of those words meaning roughly the same thing.
But why? What is the conflict? And how can we reconcile these two positions?
Firstly, perhaps, we should tackle the word “just”. What does just the flu mean? The flu can be very serious. You can die of “just the flu”. It kills hundreds of thousands – even millions – of people every year.
Sorry, I should clarify – every year except 2020-2022.
Every year (except 2020-22) upwards of one BILLION people are affected by a cold, flu or some variant of seasonal respiratory infection collectively known as “influenza-like illness”.
Even the healthiest adult will almost certainly get sick in this fashion multiple times in their life.
Every single year, some portion of those billion people will be “the sickest they have ever been”, have an unusual symptom, or be impacted by lingering post viral fatigue.
These have been facts for years, even decades.
Everyone needs to place these facts alongside their personal experience of being quite ill.
The sickest I have ever been involved a sudden very high temperature, a total loss of my voice (not a hoarse voice, I literally could not vocalise sounds at all and it took weeks to get back to normal) and fatigue which lingered for months.
Because this happened to me in 2017, it was just one of those things. I had the flu, it hit me in a weird way. Everyone has a story like that.
If it had happened to me in 2020 I might well have thought it was a special new disease.
