Everything we were originally told about the Coronavirus has turned out to be wrong. In fact, it’s not a “novel” one-of-a-kind infection at all, but a member of a larger family of which there have been many iterations in the recent past. It’s also not the most contagious or most lethal virus we’ve ever seen, but a fairly-mild infection that has no impact on the majority of people and that only kills somewhere between 1 in every 200 to 1 in every 1,000 people. (CDC-IFR- 0.26%) Also, there was no real danger that our public health system was going to collapse, because the projected number of potential deaths (1 to 2 million in the US) never approached the estimates of the flawed computer models that were used to decide the policy. In short, just about everything we were told from the very beginning turned out to be demonstrably wrong. Why is that? Why do you think that the people who provided us with the information –many of them supposedly “experts” in their field– were so wrong about everything? And why haven’t they made any effort to publicly correct their mistakes when they realize how much confusion they’ve caused?
It’s politics, right? What other explanation could there be? Our
leaders and their behind-the-scenes puppet-masters are using science as a
vehicle for achieving their own narrow political objectives. In broader terms,
COVID–19 or, should we say, CODENAME:
Operation Virus Identification 2019, is the plan to manipulate virus-hysteria
“to drastically and irrevocably” change the “fundamental structure of society”
to establish a totalitarian world order. (Quote: from CJ Hopkins)
That’s what’s happening, and the Democrats, the media and the many infectious
disease experts are playing key roles in this operation that’s bound to
continue until its objectives are achieved.
But let’s forgo the
political analysis for now and review what we actually know about the virus
itself. This, of course, would not be necessary if the media had been doing its
job by providing accurate information rather than fueling public hysteria. Sadly, the majority of people are just as misinformed now as they
were 6 months ago when the outbreak began. How could that be if the media was
actually doing its job? It couldn’t.
What we know for certain is that the doomsday scenarios never
materialized. 2 million Americans did not die and the world did not come to an
abrupt end. We also know that the computer model predictions from the Imperial
College were bogus just as we know that the countries that ignored those absurd
models did better than the others. As Nobel prize winner Michael Levitt points
out in an article at Haaretz:
“The same type of models
predicted that in Sweden, the number of deaths from COVID-19 would reach about
100,000 by June, if the Swedish government continues to refuse to impose lockdown
measures. Sweden rejected these models and bravely adopted… a democratic policy
that broadly enabled normal life to continue. Despite the large nursing homes
in Sweden...the
number of deaths turned out to be 6% of the one predicted, about 6,000 people, at an average age of 81.
Half of the victims were nursing home residents who, in Sweden, have a median
life expectancy of 9 months after admission.” (“Countering the Second Wave
with Facts, not Misconceptions” Haaretz)
Repeat: Sweden’s death toll turned out to be just 6% of the
original estimate. By comparison, the US death toll (167,000) is not quite 10%
of the original (Imperial College) estimate. Both estimates were
catastrophically wrong, and yet, we shut down the economy, drove unemployment
up to levels not seen since the Great Depression, and condemned the country to
years of agonizing restructuring. And for what??
Well, to promote a ghastly, authoritarian political agenda, that’s
why. And this just helps to underscore what Covid-19 is really all about. It’s politics masquerading as science.
The Haaretz article also sheds light on the issue of “herd
immunity” which is routinely mischaracterized in the media as the point at
which 60% (or more) of the population have been infected and therefore have
developed antibodies to the virus. This is wrong, in fact, the threshold for
herd immunity is much lower than that, perhaps 5 to 15% of the population.
But, how can that be, after
all, we were told that this was an entirely new “novel” virus that our species
had never before experienced and for which we had no built-up immunity?
That was another lie. Here’s Michael Levitt again:
“Widespread
infection is not required for stopping the epidemic. The argument that 60% of the
population must be infected and becomes immune before the infection spread is
halted is based on an incorrect mathematical calculation….The most significant evidence –
decidedly refuting the need for 60% infection rate – is pre-immunity. For example,
COVID-19 has several relatives (other coronaviruses) to which the population
had been exposed, and such prior exposure can provide immunity to a significant
segment of the population. Back in April, two of us wrote an article about the postulated
nature of this immunity and the statistical evidence that pointed to its
existence. We noted that in several closed communities that underwent
testing, the infection rate was always capped at 20%, which statistically
aligns with maximal infection rate in these communities rather than recurring
coincidences.
About a month later, a group of researchers published corroborating evidence in
Cell, one of the most prestigious journals in the life sciences. About 60% of
people in California who had never been exposed to COVID-19, had immune memory
cells that recognized the virus and are therefore likely to provide immunity.
Moreover, a study in Germany showed
that such immunity could reach a level as high as 81% of the population. …This
rate of pre-immunity to COVID-19 is also evident in the global rates of
infection. The
virus began infecting humans more than eight months ago, and the epidemic has already spread
to most of the world. Yet in all countries, the infection rate remains below 20
percent of the general population. This limited rate of infection has remained
unchanged regardless of social distancing measures (if any),such as
quarantines, local or country-wide lockdown, mask-wearing, and so on. In Sweden, for example,
the infection rate did not exceed 20% and the percentage of people who survived
the epidemic exceeds 99.9% (!) of the population. Such is the case in Belgium
as well, the country with the highest population mortality rate, where less
than 20% were infected, and more than 99.9% of the population has survived the
epidemic…The implications of these findings are of utmost importance. They call
for immediate removal of most restrictions on the economy, immediate return to
normal life of low-risk population while helping high-risk groups reduce the
rate of social contacts.” (“Countering the Second Wave
with Facts, not Misconceptions” Haaretz)
This is not some minor
point. Our policy and the policies adopted by countries around the world are
based on assumptions that are both unscientific and false. Do you really think
the people responsible for implementing these policies don’t know the science
or don’t know about “pre-immunity” or that that “prior exposure can provide
immunity” or that ” the infection rate was always capped at 20% in all
countries” (which means that only 1 in every 5 people will contract the
infection regardless of their exposure.) or that in all cases and all countries
“more than 99.9% of the population has survived the epidemic”?
Admit it, most readers don’t know anything
about any of this because none of it has appeared in the MSM. Why is that? What
malicious, evil forces are at work here? Why do our leaders and our media want
to keep us in the dark about issues that are critical to our decision-making,
critical to our livelihoods, and critical to our very survival? Why?
Again, do you really think our leaders and infectious disease
experts– like the affable Anthony Fauci– are unaware of these facts? Do you
think they have dismissed them as too trivial or too superficial to tell the
public or do you think they are deliberately withholding any information that
might mitigate the prevailing atmosphere of hysteria that is keeping the
American people afraid, isolated and abjectly submissive to the manipulations
of their paymasters?
That’s
what you call a “no-brainer”. We have entered a period in which wealthy,
globalist oligarchs are using fake science, amplified through their assets in
the media and Democrat party, to fundamentally restructure society in a way
that enhances their material interests while strengthening their grip on power.
It’s as plain as the nose on your face.
And there’s more too, because censorship, manipulation and
politics have real costs, and
the costs can be calculated in terms of the lives that are lost due to the
imposition of a ruthless and thoroughly-counterproductive policy: Lockdown.
Here’s Levitt again:
“The
third argument – removing restrictions will result in a higher mortality than a
policy of lockdowns and restrictions – is also incorrect. A virus spreads in the
population until enough people become infected and immune, or until a vaccine
is found. Lockdowns and restrictions may
only slow down its spread (“flatten the curve”) but they do not lower the total
number of infections or overall mortality. If there is a risk of overwhelming
hospitals, there might be a need to slow the spread of the infection.
Otherwise, flattening
the curve can only be harmful since the infection returns once the restrictions
are removed. Moreover, efficient protection of high-risk groups is possible
only for a limited period of time: The longer the time, the harder it is to
prevent their exposure to the virus. Therefore, paradoxically, it is precisely lockdowns
and restrictions that slow the building of herd immunity, which in turn is
needed to stop the epidemic and protect high-risk groups. In the long run, such
policy can lead to excessive mortality.” (“Countering the Second Wave
with Facts, not Misconceptions” Haaretz)
In other words, lockdowns can postpone infections but cannot prevent them. A virus is going to do what a virus does. Period. Imposing lockdowns is as bound
to fail as standing at the water’s edge and ordering the tide to stop coming
in. It’s empty posturing that achieves nothing. As Levitt says, lockdowns are,
in fact, a threat to older and vulnerable people because the longer they are in
place, “the harder it is to prevent their exposure to the virus.” In short, the lockdowns actually kill the people they are supposed to
save.
Do you think our leaders know this? Of course, they know it.
Levitt is not the only scientist who’s able to think clearly and rationally.
The others have merely shaped thier approach to the demands of their employers.
Does the name “Bill Gates” ring a bell?
Here’s Levitt again:
“In Sweden…there is no “second wave” because there was no lockdown. Thus, the policy of imposing
and easing restrictions only prolongs the crisis, destroys the economy, and
eventually leads to a larger number of victims. It may even continue for years
as long as a vaccine is not available. The alternative to lockdowns and
restrictions must be seriously considered.” (“Countering the Second Wave
with Facts, not Misconceptions” Haaretz)
Indeed, lockdowns cost lives, lockdowns cost money, and lockdowns
are the wrong policy. Here’s Levitt one last time:
“It
can be assumed that the handling of the COVID-19 crisis will be scrutinized –
both in terms of health aspects, but also in light of public outrage over the
state of the economy. So many people all over the world have lost their sources of
income, livelihood, dignity and future. Poverty is a much more severe mortality
risk factor than COVID-19, and it affects children as much as adults. One of the key
questions that will surely be asked is whether the leadership in each country
has ever seriously considered a worthy alternative to resolving the crisis,
which will not cost so many human lives or destroy the economy. Countries such as Norway,
Ireland, and Belgium have already declared that they will not impose further
lockdowns as the obvious damage outweighs the doubtful benefit by a wide
margin.” (“Countering the Second Wave
with Facts, not Misconceptions” Haaretz)
By any
measure, the United States is in worse condition than ever before. We have
destroyed our economy, closed our schools, obliterated our small and
medium-sized businesses, increased suicides, depression, domestic abuse,
poverty, homelessness, alienation and destitution. The American people have
been plunged into a strange world of persistent fear and relentless
manipulation by scheming elites who are resolutely committed to remaking
society from the ground-up. COVID-19 is merely the vehicle they have chosen to
achieve their nefarious objectives.
