Fake Pandemic March 2020-March 2021
Posted on Mar 5, 2021
It’s ten years ago since the last fake pandemic (H1N1 Swine Flu). Itself the last in a series of fake pandemics.
It’s also a year ago since the present fake pandemic burst into Western psyche.
Again the public is being misled, deceived. But this time also subjected to tyrannical diktat in the name of pseudo-science. It’s fast catapulted us from our ordinary everyday lives into a dystopic real-life science-fiction film. Yet we could return to normal tomorrow. Simply by refusing to partake in the the mass testing of healthy individuals, dropping the performance theatre dress code, not switching the television on, and cancelling any newspaper subscriptions for the rest of the year.
Let’s be clear though. Yes, there’s a new fifth coronavirus that’s entered the human population, and yes, it’s ~2.5x more aggressive than influenza for the very elderly and frail. But thank heavens ~2.5x less aggressive for the young, with everyone else in between, around the same. If you’re under 65 and have no underlying health conditions, you can forget about the virus immediately. Instead worry more about looking both ways when crossing the street, or drunk drivers on a Saturday night.
Yes, it’s causing excess mortality. And yes, it’s putting pressure on pockets of the healthcare system in many countries. And yes, it may be the worst “flu” in decades.
The answer was always that we learn to live with it. Like the other seasonal viruses, it will reach “endemic equilibrium herd immunity”.
It should only ever have been treated as a very bad flu season, with some corresponding mitigation measures put in place (e.g. work from home if possible, testing on entry to care homes etc.).
Going beyond that was, and still is, a mixture of buffoonery, greed, politics and power. And also possibly, pre-planned societal reengineering, although I hope not.
Let’s be clear. Notwithstanding the excess mortality, it’s a hoax pandemic. The virus is relatively benign.
Government measures will far most likely cause more Years of Life Lost (YLL) than the virus itself. YLL is a more accurate and meaningful measure than deaths.
By late April 2020, it had become clear to the West that the virus was ~40x less lethal than Chinese data had indicated in February and that it was only of concern to a tight, easily identified, demographic of the population.
I still recall the palpable disappointment on the face of Bill Gates during an interview as Western data had become available. He’d stated weeks prior that 7 billion vaccine doses would be required and that even newborns would need to be vaccinated. Obviously, a clairvoyant.
Unfortunately, it was an American election year. Coronavirus quickly became the key political instrument to be played by the Democrat party. Worse, for reasons I do not know, the Democratic party, mainstream media corporations, global organizations (like the WHO), and Big Tech colluded to get Trump out. The effort managed to pour rocket-fuel on fear and help propel nonsense narratives, like governments could control the virus. The orange man was subsequently cast as killing on mass by not following “science”, whilst Democratic governors stacked nursing homes with positive patients.
Trump is a very polarizing figure. So the half of the public polarized against him, invested deeply and wholeheartedly into the politicization of coronavirus and of “science”. They rallied behind the nonsense, and even bought into the fancy dress for the occasion. It was a spectacle like no other.
The media continued unabated as if the original Chinese data still held true, maybe simply because of the old adage ‘if it bleeds, it leads’. No refresh was performed based upon the great news. There wasn’t a single blip of relief in the media that it was not a threat to children, that the infection fatality rate was very low, e.g. for my age group ~0.02%.
