Medical Professional Kyle Merritt, an attending physician at an emergency situation department in Nelson BC, included “climate change” as a contributing aspect to the medical concerns of one of his patients. And, in so doing, has achieved a impressive and unpleasant world initially.
The first-ever medical diagnosis of “climate change”.
Dr Merritt said in an interview with Glacier Media:
If we’re not looking at the underlying cause, and we’re simply dealing with the symptoms, we’re simply gon na keep falling further and further behind,” the emergency room medical professional informed Glacier Media. […] It’s me attempting to just … procedure what I’m seeing.”
The whole scenario raises some fascinating questions.
Does it make medical sense?
Obviously it doesn’t.
He diagnosed her as “experiencing environment change”. You can’t do that, it is outrageous.
That resembles identifying somebody who was struck by lightning as “suffering from the results of rain” or a person having a cardiac arrest as “suffering from the impacts of Mcdonald’s”.
… actually, it’s even worse than that. A minimum of my examples have an unique cause-and-effect relationship, and there are no clinical documents recommending Mcdonald’s doesn’t actually exist.
The client in question is over 70, asthmatic, diabetic and suffering from heart failure. She’s really, extremely ill … no matter the climate.
Even if Dr Merritt can somehow trace a decline in her health due to the weather (and there’s no proof at all that he can), in fact identifying it is completely bonkers.
… so why do it?
It’s a staged PR move. A really apparent one, when you think of it.
For one thing, there’s the question of how the media ever found out it took place, since medical records and diagnoses are entirely private.
Plainly Dr Merritt didn’t just diagnose his patient with “environment modification”, he then right away contacted the regional media to inform them he had done it.
Include the truth that this occurred to happen during the COP26 conference in Glasgow, which only today alerted of “climate-linked health risks” rising, and that the relocation has actually already generated a new NGO, “Physicians and Nurses for Planetary Health”, and you have a textbook example of a stage-managed media rollout.
Why now?
In basic terms, because Covid worked and environment didn’t.
They have been stiring up public worry of “a new ice age” and acid rain and the hole in the ozone layer and myriad other apparently incipient climate disasters for actual years, and never touched one-tenth of the level of hysteria developed by the Covid19 “pandemic”.
Somewhere, some not especially brilliant public relations executive has actually decided that the way to press the “pivot from Covid to environment” is to try and turn the long-predicted ecological catastrophe into a public health issue.
It’s hamfisted, a little amusing, and probably will not work, however it does open up some unpleasant possibilities moving forward.
Like what?
Well, for beginners, this may be the first “environment change medical diagnosis”, but do you truthfully think it will be the last?
Do not be surprised if we see a substantial spike in “environment medical diagnoses” in the next few months.
There are currently extensive academic efforts to produce a causal link in between “environment modification” and common illnesses.
A few days back, the Independent headlined The environment crisis is not practically the environment– it’s about health too.
As I mentioned previously, just today the COP26 panel warned that “climate-linked health risks” are going to increase.
Only last week the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology published a paper titled “Climate Change and Global Issues in Allergic Reaction and Immunology” which argues climate change is already making asthma and some allergic reactions even worse.
It’s not difficult to create a list of other common afflictions that are currently being connected back to environment change.
Cancer, pneumonia, heatstroke, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and basically all lung conditions.
There’s also all illness spread by mosquitos or other zoonotic agents, plus every waterborne health problem.
Which lacks even seriously stretching reasoning, which Covid has revealed our medical and scientific organizations have no difficulty doing.
They are already going over “climate-related” mental health problems such as stress, stress and anxiety and depression. These could quickly end up being more kinds of “climate-related medical diagnoses” too.
Now, allow me to hypothesize for a couple of paragraphs …
The practice of “climate-related diagnosis” is likely going to broaden. When concerns about the science behind this are raised by sceptics, they will naturally be accused of “climate rejection”.
Viewpoint pieces will appear torturing factor to defend the practice of diagnosing “environment disease”. So-called reporters, or mercenary specialists in made-up fields like “environment principles”, will crochet hairs of reason into positions so full of holes they barely exist.
We’ll be informed that even if the practice is technically incorrect, it’s serving a greater fact. That people may not literally be sick due to environment modification, however we are all figuratively dying of it.
“Covid has revealed us people only do what’s right when they’re terrified: We need to make them feel climate fear.”
“Climate change diagnoses are on the rise. And that’s a good thing.”
“Healthcare employees take stand on climate with brand-new diagnosis trend.”
“NHS employees saved us from Covid, and now wish to handle environment.”
… you don’t need to check out the Guardian as much as I have to feel those headings, or ones really like them, in our future.
Then the deaths can start happening. Covid has actually shown that you can create a “mass casualty” scare by essentially simply including an extra line on a death certificate. They can do that for environment too. The headlines will continue …
“Physicians see spike in “environment deaths” as people all of a sudden feel the effects of inaction”
When individuals mention the defects in reasoning the papers will argue that, even if people aren’t really passing away of climate change, symbolically putting it on death certificates is the very best way to show just how much danger we remain in.
They’ll backhandedly confess the fact isn’t genuine, but then utilize it as a reason to require action anyway:
“Weekly climate deaths are outstripping Covid– we require to deal with the “environment pandemic.”
… it will continue.
Environment modification will begin being listed as an “hidden cause of death” for increasingly more illness. I already discussed cancer, lung illness and heart problem. They’ll all be “climate-related”.
The press invested the last year informing us that climate modification “makes pandemics most likely”, so any future “pandemic” can be linked to environment and boom, a couple of hundred thousand environment deaths.
Environment modification is supposedly bad for coming children, so stillbirths and miscarriages can all be “climate deaths”.
They can do a research study finding “higher levels of solar radiation” can “increase the risk of cancer”, and then begin stating anyone who dies of cancer likewise passed away of environment.
They do not even have to limit it to natural causes.
Drowned in a flash flood? That’s an environment death.
Starved due to drought? Climate death.
Devoted suicide? “he was quite disturbed about the environment”.
Assaulted by a polar bear? Well, environment modification required it out of its natural environment.
I’m not being amusing. This is not satire, I want it were. Believe me, they could easily actually state it, or something like it, ultimately.
If the previous twenty months have actually not done anything else, they ought to at least have actually taught you this important lesson: There is nothing– NOTHING– too dishonest, too negative or perhaps too outrageous for the facility to offer.
It doesn’t matter if it’s not likely, or self-contradictory or illogical– it does not even matter if it’s actually physically difficult– they will state it, and they will anticipate you to believe it.
We now have our first environment “case”. The first death “with climate” most likely won’t be far behind. Thousands more will likely follow.
That’s when talk of “environment lockdowns” will come back.
