Starting in 2020 we were told that the world was facing a very deadly pandemic of unprecedented proportions caused by a novel coronavirus. The infection fatality rate was much worse than a severe flu. It was so serious that we needed to lockdown to slow the spread1. Lockdowns worked to turn things around. Masks were required to help slow the spread and to protect people and they were an effective and harmless way of doing so. People who had no symptoms of any illness were, potentially, significant sources of infection. Fomite transmission was also a significant source of infection. If we didn’t instigate a range of severe measures the death toll would be terrible with many hundreds of thousands dying2. Re-purposed drugs were ineffective and, worse, actually harmful. Vaccines were the only solution and the vaccines were safe and effective and that vaccination prevented transmission and infection. Even if you had already been infected you should get vaccinated to give you hybrid immunity which was superior to infection acquired immunity. The vaccines saved 20 million lives worldwide. The virus was not seasonal. Nobody was safe until we were all safe. It was necessary to practice social distancing to limit the spread and people should maintain a distance of 6 feet from one another to significantly reduce the risk. There was a significant possibility of catching and/or transmitting the virus in an outdoor setting.
There are only 2 true statements in that entire paragraph3.
The outbreak was caused by a coronavirus which was, somewhat, novel.
We were told these things
There really is only one chart you need to understand the scale of the deception that was wrought upon us.
There are various forms of the same chart available - and another version presenting the same data is the following
Why focus on Sweden?
Much to the chagrin of the Pandemic Panic Proponents, Sweden did not throw away science and opt for lockdowns etc in a serious way. Their response wasn’t ‘perfect’ in that they did, along with other countries, make a very serious mistake with old folk in care.
Sweden, therefore, provides a reasonably decent answer to the question “what would have happened if we didn’t lockdown, distance, wear masks, etc?”
Basically, the answer is “the opposite of whatever Ferguson said”
It sounds callous because some people really did die of covid, but the “pandemic” was nothing of the sort. Unless, of course, you change the definition of what a pandemic is. And WHO would do that, eh?
There is little doubt that the Pfucked up morality of the Pharma companies played a significant role in the progression of this self-inflicted public health disaster (covid itself was NOT a public health disaster). There is no other explanation for the wanton disregard of the science and the available evidence.
You can take your pick over whether filthy lucre or fascistic control was the motivation here (or both) - but there’s little doubt now that whether accidentally or intentionally released from a lab4, covid represented an opportunity to implement a program of mass vaccination. It was a program they relentlessly pursued.
It was all about the jabs5.
Oh, but we take the jab to protect Granny. Which might make some sense if (a) Granny couldn’t be vaccinated and (b) this shite Goo prevented infection and transmission. The whole “taking it for others” argument falls away when you have a vaccine that does not prevent infection or transmission. If the only reason you’re taking the jab is so that you don’t infect others, but the jab doesn’t actually achieve that, then why take the jab?
Even if the vaccines worked (which they didn’t) and were safe (which they weren’t) it was not necessary for most demographics to take the shot. Various studies have been undertaken trying to find previously healthy people who died of covid - they’re rarer than hen’s teeth, or a government health minister or official telling the truth.
Covid, if you were already unwell, was not something you wanted to catch. Fair enough. If I wasn’t in the best of health I’d be a bit worried about catching the flu also.
We can recognise that, for some, covid represented a serious threat if they caught it and that it wasn’t something to take lightly, whilst also acknowledging that the covid hysteria was entirely unnecessary.
The whole thing was almost entirely propaganda-driven.
We had month after month where ‘covid’ was pretty much the only thing on the “news”. This was not accidental because the data, like the Swedish data, showed that we didn’t need to panic. But everything was presented as if we were in the middle of the worst health crisis humanity had ever faced.
Now, we can speculate as to the reasons for going down this pathway, the reasons for the inception of deception, but does ‘ignorance’ really hold muster? I would maintain not. Government works by employing mostly idiots (politicians) who are helped by some very smart people (the civil service). Do you think the civil servants didn’t know what WE all knew - even back at the start of the “pandemic”?
Of course not. They could interpret the data as well as we could. They knew covid wasn’t some unprecedented existential threat. And even if they were initially bamboozled and a bit afraid - the data only got clearer and clearer as time went on.
Yet they still pushed the ‘fear’ narrative. It was relentless.
They deliberately deceived us.
This is pretty much incontestable.
The difficult question to answer is why? Why did they do this?
We could, perhaps, be charitable and suggest it was all done to protect us, to keep people alive. But, if that was the genuine motivation, why the extreme hostility to things like Ivermectin and HCQ? Even if these things were only 10% effective, that would have saved quite a few lives (and there is no doubt whatsoever that these potential treatments are extremely safe). Those people with co-morbidities needed some extra help - and none was forthcoming (unless you consider things like Remdesivir6, an expensive drug, as “help”).
Any which way you slice up the “innocent” pie, it doesn’t really work.
Almost from the start it was vaccinate, vaccinate, vaccinate. And let’s not forget that the idea of vaccine passports was officially touted well before any vaccine was on the horizon.
I don’t know whether the virus was accidentally or intentionally released from the Wuhan lab, but everything since then has been inexorably directed towards vaccination.
It’s the only viable explanation, in my view, for the inception of deception.
And we were deceived on a truly massive scale.
This later changed to “lockdown to save lives” - a kind of mission creep that went largely unnoticed by the subservient media
UK version - other countries had similar scare numbers suitable for their own populations
Let’s not have the “viruses don’t exist” debate here
Or whether humans caught it from some confused pangolin who tried to shag a raccoon dog after being spat upon by a bat in some bizarre concatenation of events. We shall never know. When I see the word zoonotic in the context of covid I tend to focus on the “not” part of that word.
And we could speculate about the jabs being merely a stepping stone on the way to a more complete command and control infrastructure being applied to the general population
Colloquially known in the medical profession as “run, death is near”
I’m still irritated by the idea that Grandma needs protecting. Grandma is a boomer and is going strong, wearing skinny jeans and going to yoga and talking about how much she has to live for in a sorry-not-sorry explanation for why her grandkids need to be masked and double vaxxed before she even considers seeing them in person. (And forget visiting great grandma in the nursing home, where she’s been living on death row for years anyway, slowly withering away with the other smelly decaying elders.)
Sorry, that got a little dark, but I think you started it RR by putting me mentally back in Covidtimes, where I was forced to acknowledge an increasingly narcissistic adult population largely willing to participate in child sacrifice. (And parent sacrifice if we count what happened to Great Granny.)
(And since I dearly hope to be a grandma myself one day, perhaps in skinny jeans attending yoga, I apologize to all grandmas out there whom I’ve mischaracterized as selfish harpies who latched onto the Covid lies with unnatural glee, as if the situation provided a welcome if belated opportunity to affirm their own relative importance in the grand scheme of things.)
Ivermectin is the nuclear power of the c19 scam. Nuclear energy is the ivermectin of the climate scam. The demonisation of readily available time tested low cost efficient solutions to the manufactured “problem“ evidence the true intentions of those running both scams, which are really one and the same.
