Covid 19 - Coronavirus - Two Words - "Mystery" and "Virus" from China

ANY QUESTIONS?

libfucks will argue that covid isn't THE leading one because everyone was locked down, social distancing and wearing masks..

[Griffith]

ANY QUESTIONS?

The Black Death and the Plague of Justinian both came from China.

Yes, NOBODY in the health system wants to be the one who gets in the way of the $$$, media and politics. My father's heart doc said this thing is a joke to me in his office...off the record of course.

50+ pages detailing how this thing is NOT a pandemic(it's a testdemic), yet it is now an extinction level event HA.

If dinosaurs were subjected to the tiny fraction of a percent of deadliness this thing presents then the homeless in Portland would be riding velociraptors around their bum huts.

I had to look up velociraptors because I'd not heard the word before. Very interesting way to make a point.

If it was just the U.S. that was responding to COVID-19 as if it were a pandemic, it might be easier to accept what your doctor said about it.

That you believe the narrative is the most conclusive evidence possible that that it’s bullshit:

Not sure how to take this. Are you saying it is bullshit because of what I believe or are you saying that it's a global issue is bullshit....or both?

[Thin Lizzy]

Not sure how to take this. Are you saying it is bullshit because of what I believe or are you saying that it's a global issue is bullshit....or both?

I explained how the scam works a year ago. It’s a global currency devaluation scheme. The virus is just a pretext.

I nailed everything except vaccines as they didn’t exist at the time:

If you look at it from the standpoint of crime families it all makes sense, not to the people here who are too far gone, but to those still salvageable.

First, you have the financial establishment family. They benefit from this by getting first dibs on the money being printed by central banks all around the world which is conveniently happening at the same time as a massive stock market shake out.

Next, you have the political crime family. They benefit from the fiscal stimulus which allows them to dole out money to their favorite groups and of course get kickbacks in return.

Finally, you have the medical establishment crime family. I’m hearing now that restarting the economy is going to depend on testing. Lotta fucking money to be made by testing the entire planet don’t ya think?

"Former CDC Director Robert Redfield says that SARS-CoV-2, the virus which causes COVID-19, did not originate from a wet market in Wuhan, China, and instead escaped from a nearby lab which was performing gain-of-function research on bat coronaviruses to make them more easily infect humans.



"I do not believe this somehow came from a bat to a human," Redfield told CNN's Sanjay Gupta in an interview set to air Sunday night at 9 p.m. ET. "Normally, when a pathogen goes from a zoonot to human, it takes a while for it to figure out how to become more & more efficient in human to human transmission."

Please take a lot at all these things, and please note the date on each one.

All of these things, taken together in context, proves that keeping the public schools closed has nothing to do with COVID-19.

Keeping the public schools closed is mean, cruel, inhumane, and evil.

It’s way way worse than what is being officially reported. I am hearing from direct sources on the ground of a massive scale outbreak underway.

Looking back to what I told you all in January 2020...

And now you know.

[gib]

We will now start to feel the wrath of this new Wiggs Ebola mutation. As I have told you I have very high level sources on the ground. Watch and wait. Will start off spreading in New York and San Francisco. Remember where you heard this first. The infestation is already massive across China and various parts of Asia.

Looking back to what I told you all in January 2020...

And now you know.

[gib]

Ok a few updates. The situation in terms of numbers infected is way way worse. As in 100’s of thousands. It’s too late to be contained. So focus needs to be on treatment.

Mortality rate of those infected is hard to gauge. But it seems to hit hardest men aged 50-70. Highest death risk is for smokers or those with other pre existing conditions. Kids seem to be super spreaders but at the same time quite resilient showing hardly any symptoms. Next few weeks will see a very sharp rise and panic. Will ramp up in New York and San Fran first. These is not yet any standard treatment and certainly no vaccine.

And again as I told you in Jan 2020. Shame on those who doubted. Lesson learned. When I tell you something, listen good, as its legit.

Facts.

Research Suggests Lockdowns Didn’t Reduce COVID Deaths
epoch times ^ | 25 March A.D., 2021 | GreenMedInfo
Posted on 3/27/2021, 2:37:39 PM by lightman

A review of data from 87 regions worldwide found that in about 98 percent of the comparisons, there was no evidence that lockdowns reduced the number of COVID-19 deaths.

The locking down of healthy people in their homes in order to prevent the spread of disease is an unprecedented public health move that has had devastating effects on the economy and has set a dangerous precedent for freedom and human rights.

If the lockdowns saved millions of lives, most people would feel they could be justified. But if these lockdowns have been ineffective, they’re easily—as Stanford professor Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, Ph.D., put it—the “biggest public health mistake we’ve ever made.” Increasingly, research is confirming that lockdowns, in fact, were largely ineffective in reducing deaths from COVID-19, while also causing “catastrophic” harm to the public.[ii]

Bhattacharya is a professor of medicine at Stanford, and research associate at the National Bureau of Economics Research. He’s also a senior fellow at the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research, and at the Stanford Freeman Spogli Institute. ‘No Evidence’ COVID Deaths Reduced by Staying Home

In November 2020, an international group of researchers released a study in the journal Computer Methods and Programs in Biomedicine. It was based on a sophisticated mathematical model that found that staying at home, on its own, didn’t have a major role in COVID-19 disease transmission.[iii] Building on this, researchers from Brazil set out to determine the association between COVID-19 deaths per million people and the percentage of people who remained in their residences on lockdown.[iv]

Using a combination of data from Google’s COVID-19 Mobility Reports,[v] Our World in Data,[vi] and the Brazilian government,[vii] including 87 regions worldwide, they used a novel approach for the study, assessing the association between staying at home and the reduction or increase in COVID-19 deaths. Specifically, they noted:[viii]

“If the variation in the difference between the number of deaths/million in two countries, say A and B, and the variation in the difference of the staying at home values between A and B present similar patterns, this is due to an association between the two variables.”

“In contrast, if these patterns are very different, this is evidence that staying at home values and the number of deaths/million are not related (unless, of course, other unaccounted for factors are at play).”

The researchers published their study in Scientific Reports earlier in March. It has encountered criticism and is currently undergoing a type of peer review and discussion, with the publication waiting to hear from all voices before any final conclusions.

Both a restrictive and global analysis were performed in the study. In the restrictive analysis, direct comparison of two regions took place if three of the four following conditions were similar: population density, percentage of urban population, human development index, and total area of the region. The global comparisons included regions and countries worldwide.

In the restrictive analysis, only one comparison (or 3 percent)—between the state of Roraima, Brazil, and the state of Rondonia, Brazil—was significant, while in the global comparisons, only 1.6 percent were significantly different. “Indeed,” the researchers wrote, “the global comparison confirmed the results found in the restrictive one; only 1.6 percent of the death rates could be explained by staying at home.”[ix]

Put another way, in about 98 percent of the comparisons, there was “no evidence that the number of deaths/million is reduced by staying at home.” The findings were backed up by real-world examples taking place at the time. For instance:

“Our findings are in accordance with the dataset of daily confirmed COVID-19 deaths/million in the UK. Pubs, restaurants, and barbershops were open in Ireland on June 29th and masks were not mandatory; after more than 2 months, no spike was observed; indeed, death rates kept falling.

“Peru has been considered to be the most strict lockdown country in the world, nevertheless, by September 20th, it had the highest number of deaths/million.”

They believe the stay-at-home orders represent a case of “exception fallacy,” also known as stereotype fallacy, in which conclusions are made about an entire group based on data or observations from one individual.[xi] Great Barrington Declaration Calls for End of COVID Lockdowns

Bhattacharya, along with Sunetra Gupta, Ph.D., a professor at Oxford University, and Martin Kulldorff, Ph.D., a professor of medicine at Harvard University, wrote the Great Barrington Declaration in October 2020 to call attention to the devastating short- and long-term health effects being caused by lockdown policies and calling for a return to normalcy for those at low-risk.[xii] A number of harms resulting from lockdowns were identified by the team, including:[xiii]

Worse cardiovascular disease outcomes Deteriorating mental health A rise in opioid and drug-related overdoses Increases in dementia-related deaths Catastrophic learning losses for students Increase in all-cause mortality among 25- to 44-year-olds

The imposed social isolation that occurs during lockdowns deprives human beings of their innate need for social interaction. At least 13 studies demonstrate that social isolation increases mortality risk, and many Americans are experiencing mental crises as a result of the lockdowns and COVID fear-mongering being perpetuated by mainstream media. According to Bhattacharya and colleagues:[xiv]

“In Massachusetts, emergency departments have seen about four times more children and teens in psychiatric crisis than usual. One in four young adults in the U.S. seriously considered suicide this past June.”

Since October, thousands of public health scientists, medical practitioners, and researchers have endorsed the Declaration,[xv] which recommends “focused protection” in lieu of lockdowns, putting strategies in place to protect the elderly at high risk from infection while protecting those who are non-vulnerable from the immense harms of “radical” lockdown measures.

Public health, after all, is about more than infection control; it’s intended to look out for the health and well-being of the entire population, they note, adding:[xvi]

“There is more than a thousand-fold difference in COVID-19 mortality between the oldest and youngest. Children have lower mortality from COVID-19 than from the annual influenza. For people under the age of 70, the infection survival rate is 99.95 percent.”

“For the non-vulnerable, who face far greater harm from the lockdowns than they do from COVID-19 infection risk, the lockdowns should be lifted and—for those who so decide—normal life resumed.”

The GMI Research Group is dedicated to investigating the most important health and environmental issues of the day. Special emphasis will be placed on environmental health. Our focused and deep research will explore the many ways in which the present condition of the human body directly reflects the true state of the ambient environment.

Key Takeaways
There is no denying that 2020 has seen a wave of excess deaths. Part of that is undeniably due to Covid-19 which is dangerous to the elderly and relatively mild for younger populations. However, the increase in excess deaths amongst working-age individuals by the tens of thousands shows that there is another killer out there. Deaths of despair due in large part to social isolation. Regardless of whether they think lockdowns work, policymakers must be cognizant of the fact shutting down society also leads to excess deaths. Whether it’s from the government policies themselves or the willful compliance of society enforcing the soft despotism of popular hysteria, social isolation is taking its toll on the lives of many.

So does the media have any responsibility? What do you think people in nursing homes do all day? They watch television. And what were they watching during Covid? Nonstop fear and hysteria being peddled by the main stream media.

I’d also be interested to hear about the staffing levels in nursing homes during this time. At one point, the NYPD had people calling in sick at a rate of 20%. I’m sure the same thing is true in nursing homes which already have high mortality rates that would certainly go even higher if they’re understaffed.
