Thoughts on the SARS-CoV-2 / Covid-19 Pandemic

On the virus origin:

There is little to no doubt that the US NIH funded research at a Wuhan virus lab that created the man-made Wuhan SARS-CoV-2 franken-virus that causes Covid-19, which then has killed hundreds of thousands of people world-wide.  Some still ridicule this notion, despite much evidence to-date, but Occam's Razor insists that SarsCoV2's origin was from the lab.

 

On the vaccine-primacy approach:

From the beginning of Covid-19, the big-pharma/Gates-captured establishment medical "leaders' went all in on fabulously-expensive vaccines to the near-total exclusion of therapeutics, which, no doubt has been the fear, would be much-less profitable and ultimately more effective.  Great harm has been done by the evil, pharma/Gates-captured death-merchant NIH bureaucrats Fauci and Collins, who duped America into a lockdowns-for-all, vaccine-primacy strategy.

Particularly disappointing, and shocking, has been the complicity of American medical leadership, down to the local group practice level, in the vaccine-primary approach to the pandemic, with very insufficient attention to therapeutics.

 

Realities of the novel genetic material vaccines:

The medical realities of the RNA/DNA gene therapies, called vaccines, are that the intermediate- and long-term side effects are unknown, in addition to concern about toxicity from the circulating spike protein itself and the potential for antibody-dependent enhancement.  For each person, getting vaccinated or not is an individualized a risk/benefit analysis.  Furthermore, many of the unvaccinated have recovered from an infection, which bestowed both antibody and cellular natural immunity that is superior to immunity to a vaccine that induces only antibodies to the mutable spike protein (only pharma-captured shills would deny that).

Initially and for quite a while, Covid-19 vaccines were said, by medical leaders and politicians, to prevent viral transmission entirely and prevent all illness, not just serious illness and death.  But we all now know that vaccination does not prevent infection with the Sars-CoV-2 virus, does not prevent spreading that infection to others, and only for a while lessens the chance for, but does not always prevent, serious disease and death from the virus.  

 

Vaccine mania:

The rebuttable presumption in medicine is that natural, or post-infection, immunity to a virus is equal to and likely better than immunity via a vaccine, especially one that employs only a part of one virus surface protein, and a lab-modified one at that, as with all current US vaccines.  Yet, even those with natural immunity have been pushed into vaccination.  So what explains the escalating vehemence of vaccine absolutists that everyone, even the Covid19-recovered with strong natural immunity, be injected with an experimental "vaccine" in the face of growing evidence of only partial effectiveness and of serious, more common side effects?  Well, for one thing, there is no money to be made in "natural immunity."

No one knows how "safe" the vaccines are, since intermediate- and long-term effects are unknown, and these RNA/DNA genetic material vaccines are brand-new technology.

Covid-19 itself and Covid vaccines both can cause serious illness and even death.  The risk-reward calculation to undergo vaccination or not depends on many individual factors, such as age, medical status, etc.  People who become ill after one choice naturally wish they had chosen the other.

Public health opinion leaders can begin to regain an ounce of the pounds of trust they so foolishly and cavalierly shredded in the Covid era by ceasing their insistence that Covid survivors, who have natural immunity, get vaccinated, and instead send those vaccine doses to underdeveloped countries for people at risk who need them.

 

Vaccinating children and young adults:

Injecting healthy children with a thoroughly-experimental, only partially-effective "vaccine," with totally unknown intermediate- and long-term side effects, for a disease with a mortality rate for them below that of seasonal flu is as astonishing as it is horrific.

Seeing a fatal thrombotic sequela of the Johnson & Johnson Covid vaccine in a young woman — if she was not at high risk for Covid and thus a strong candidate for an experimental vaccine with an unclear risk profile, is nothing less than a tragic and unnecessary event at the feet of the vaccine absolutists.

Robert Kennedy, Jr, and others have opined that once vaccines get full FDA approval (not just an Emergency Use Authorization), vaccine makers have liability unless the vaccine is indicated in children, in which case there is no liability by law even if adults also use the vaccine, and that’s why vaccine makers have been pushing the Covid vaccines to children.  If true, then vaccine makers are using children as liability shields.


Suppressing treatments:

Everyone knows that drug companies and their paid agents masquerading as impartial government advisor “scientists” cannot make money on repurposed drugs, also known as “cheap generics whose safety profiles are already known.”

The fact that a hospital would still refuse to administer ivermectin even after all of its treatments had failed and despite a court order (and family agreement) that would remove any liability means that there was a nefarious reason to deny care — recognition that ivermectin works.  Admitting that safe, pill treatments work would damage the push for fabulously-profitable universal, repeated, mass vaccination.

In late 2021 it was reported that the US FDA has been working with the US post office to seize packages containing ivermectin.  When has such a thing ever been done before in the US for drugs that are completely legal, safe, and on the WHO’s list of essential medicines?  The only plausible reason – big-pharma / big-government terror that more people will discover with their own eyes that ivermectin works.   The powerful tentacles of the big-pharma/big-government cartel have a long reach.

Eventually, the “truth will out” on ivermectin, and then the “just following CDC/FDA orders” excuses will begin from physicians and scientists who knew better all along but were cowed into being “useful idiots” for the big-pharma/big-government cartel.

 

Behavior of physicians:

It has been shocking to see "expert" physicians touting the complete effectiveness of "vaccines" whose antigenic material consists only of the highly-mutable spike protein and no other parts of the virus, all while ignoring therapeutics; skepticism would have been smarter & more honest.

So many doctors and hospitals have become cruel petty tyrants during the Covid era, under the guise of safety.  Pushing vaccines on low risk people, denying sick and dying patients the comfort of loved ones at their sides, denying even court-ordered treatments.  It saddens me to see so many doctors behave that way.  One factor must be deep, deep corruption among some physician opinion leaders, bought by pharma money and/or intimidated by political pressure.

The intense mania by so many physicians to vaccinate every single healthy (= extremely low-risk) child with a Covid vaccine having significant short-term risks (e.g., myocarditis) and unknown intermediate- and long-term effects seems quasi-religious and quasi-political in nature, and has been frightening to witness.

 

Vaccine failures:

The vaccines are only partially-effective, and possibly in some people may actually facilitate infection via antibody-dependent enhancement.  Their intermediate- and long-term safety is unknown, and short-term side effects can be significant.  

With seemingly most Covid-19 case data looking worse in 2021 versus 2020, the question of antibody-dependent enhancement becomes ever more pressing.  Hospitalization and mortality data in the "fully" vaccinated also has been alarming, and underappreciated by society at large it seems.

Since the vaccinated can just as easily harbor and transmit Covid than the unvaccinated, while more likely to be asymptomatic and thus mingling out-and-about, the vaccinated (and the unvaccinated as well) may indeed be at more risk from other vaccinated people than from those unvaccinated.

Somebody must be blamed for their totally-failed strategy of going all-in on vaccines to the near-exclusion of therapeutics (especially those already available like cheap ivermectin), and the leaders are not going to blame themselves.  So the vaccine’s failures are blamed on those not taking it, a first in history.


On the Centers for Disease Control (CDC)

This past year the CDC has revealed itself, somewhat unexpectedly, to be one of the many failed government institutions in America.  Even apart from the medical and policy missteps & politicization, its bumbling data collection issues last year were shocking.  Examples: failed testing roll-out; incomplete data on website; no modeling; no dissemination of best treatment practices; incorrect public recommendation on mask wearing (maybe a lie to protect the supply).

Among the CDC’s many problems is mission creep into social justice and non-contagion-related projects, which dissipate and squander the agency’s effectiveness and betrays Americans.  (As an aside on government mission creep, who can forget NASA's Muslim outreach program under Obama?)

The CDC's budget is about $12 BILLION, with 15,000 staff, yet it seems to have been totally unprepared to effectively deal with Covid-19.  Its core purpose is to deal with infectious epidemics, and the lifer staffers failed.  A complete reformation is needed.


The destruction of trust in medical and public-health “experts”:

No one believes these "experts" any more, after they've shown themselves to be politically-based, opinion-based, pharma-captured control freaks, not science-based.  From mass quarantine to suppression of ivermectin to making sick people die alone to vaccinating low-risk kids, etc. – just evil.
