Everything we were originally told about the Coronavirus has turned out to be wrong. In fact, it\u2019s not a \u201cnovel\u201d 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\u2019s also not the most contagious or most lethal virus we\u2019ve 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 \u2013many of them supposedly \u201cexperts\u201d in their field\u2013 were so wrong about everything? And why haven\u2019t they made any effort to publicly correct their mistakes when they realize how much confusion they\u2019ve caused?<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s 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\u201319 or, should we say, CODENAME: Operation Virus Identification 2019, is the plan to manipulate virus-hysteria \u201cto drastically and irrevocably\u201d change the \u201cfundamental structure of society\u201d to establish a totalitarian world order. (Quote: from CJ Hopkins<\/a><\/strong><\/span>) That\u2019s what\u2019s happening, and the Democrats, the media and the many infectious disease experts are playing key roles in this operation that\u2019s bound to continue until its objectives are achieved.<\/span><\/p>\n

But let\u2019s 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\u2019t.<\/span><\/p>\n

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:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe same type of models predicted that in Sweden, the number of deaths from COVID-19 would reach about 100,000 by June<\/strong>, if the Swedish government continues to refuse to impose lockdown measures. Sweden rejected these models and bravely adopted\u2026 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,<\/strong> 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.\u201d (\u201cCountering the Second Wave with Facts, not Misconceptions<\/strong><\/span>\u201d<\/a> Haaretz)<\/span><\/p>\n

Repeat: Sweden\u2019s 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??<\/span><\/p>\n

Well, to promote a ghastly, authoritarian political agenda, that\u2019s why. And this just helps to underscore what Covid-19 is really all about. It\u2019s politics masquerading as science.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Haaretz article also sheds light on the issue of \u201cherd immunity\u201d 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.<\/span><\/p>\n

But, how can that be, after all, we were told that this was an entirely new \u201cnovel\u201d virus that our species had never before experienced and for which we had no built-up immunity?<\/span><\/p>\n

That was another lie. Here\u2019s Michael Levitt again:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWidespread 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\u2026.<\/strong>The most significant evidence \u2013 decidedly refuting the need for 60% infection rate \u2013 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<\/strong>. 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<\/strong>. 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.<\/span><\/p>\n

Moreover, a study in Germany showed that such immunity could reach a level as high as 81% of the population. \u2026This rate of pre-immunity to COVID-19 is also evident in the global rates of infection.<\/strong> 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.<\/strong> 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\u2026The 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.\u201d <\/strong>(\u201cCountering the Second Wave with Facts, not Misconception<\/strong><\/span>s<\/a>\u201d Haaretz)<\/span><\/p>\n

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\u2019t know the science or don\u2019t know about \u201cpre-immunity\u201d or that that \u201cprior exposure can provide immunity\u201d or that \u201d the infection rate was always capped at 20% in all countries\u201d (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 \u201cmore than 99.9% of the population has survived the epidemic\u201d?<\/span><\/p>\n

Admit it, most readers don\u2019t 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?<\/span><\/p>\n

Again, do you really think our leaders and infectious disease experts\u2013 like the affable Anthony Fauci\u2013 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?<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s what you call a \u201cno-brainer\u201d. 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\u2019s as plain as the nose on your face.<\/span><\/p>\n

And there\u2019s 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\u2019s Levitt again:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe third argument \u2013 removing restrictions will result in a higher mortality than a policy of lockdowns and restrictions \u2013 is also incorrect. A virus spreads in the population until enough people become infected and immune, or until a vaccine is found<\/strong>. Lockdowns and restrictions may only slow down its spread (\u201cflatten the curve\u201d) but they do not lower the total number of infections or overall mortality<\/strong>. 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.<\/strong>\u201d (\u201cCountering the Second Wave with Facts, not Misconceptions<\/strong><\/span><\/a>\u201d Haaretz)<\/span><\/p>\n

In other words, lockdowns can postpone infections but cannot prevent them<\/strong>. A virus is going to do what a virus does. Period. Imposing lockdowns is as bound to fail as standing at the water\u2019s edge and ordering the tide to stop coming in. It\u2019s 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, \u201cthe harder it is to prevent their exposure to the virus.\u201d In short, the lockdowns actually kill the people they are supposed to save.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Do you think our leaders know this? Of course, they know it. Levitt is not the only scientist who\u2019s able to think clearly and rationally. The others have merely shaped thier approach to the demands of their employers. Does the name \u201cBill Gates\u201d ring a bell?<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s Levitt again:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIn Sweden\u2026there is no \u201csecond wave\u201d because there was no lockdown<\/strong>. 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.\u201d (\u201cCountering the Second Wave with Facts, not Misconceptions<\/a><\/strong><\/span>\u201d Haaretz)<\/span><\/p>\n

Indeed, lockdowns cost lives, lockdowns cost money, and lockdowns are the wrong policy. Here\u2019s Levitt one last time:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt can be assumed that the handling of the COVID-19 crisis will be scrutinized \u2013 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,<\/strong> 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.\u201d<\/strong> (\u201cCountering the Second Wave with Facts, not Misconceptions<\/strong><\/span>\u201d<\/a> Haaretz)<\/span><\/p>\n

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.<\/span><\/p>\n
