humansarefree--2020-05-31--Epidemiologist Knut Wittkowski: ‘We Could Open Up Again and Forget the Whole Thing’

Epidemiologist Knut Wittkowski : Covid-19 is Not Dangerous ‘ Unless You Have Age-related Severe Comorbidities ’ Knut Wittkowski is one such expert who has long argued for a change of course .
For 20 years , Wittkowski was the head of Biostatistics , Epidemiology , and Research Design at The Rockefeller University ’ s Center for Clinical and Translational Science .
spiked spoke to him to find out more about the pandemic .
Governments around the world say they are following ‘ The Science ’ with their draconian measures to stem the spread of the virus .
But the science @ @ @ @ @ @ @ experts have serious doubts about the effectiveness of the measures , and argue that our outsized fears of Covid-19 are not justified .
Knut Wittkowski : No , unless you have age-related severe comorbidities .
So if you are in a nursing home because you can not live by yourself anymore , then getting infected is dangerous .
We had the other extreme in Switzerland , which was hit pretty hard .
There was one child that died .
People believed that this child was born in 2011 .
In fact , it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was the only child that died .
It was a mere coding error .
Somebody with the age 108 was coded as aged eight .
Wittkowski : It is over in China .
It is over in South Korea .
It is substantially down in most of Europe and down a bit everywhere , even in the UK .
The UK and Belarus are latecomers , so you do not see exactly what you are seeing in continental Europe .
But everywhere in Europe , the number of cases is substantially declining .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ and young adults do not end up in hospitals .
It is only those who are both elderly and have comorbidities that do .
Therefore you have to protect the elderly and the nursing homes .
I hope the intervention did not have too much of an impact because it most likely made the situation worse .
The intervention was to ‘ flatten the curve ’ .
That means that there would be the same number of cases but spread out over a longer period of time , because otherwise the hospitals would @ @ @ @ @ @ @ When the whole thing started , there was one reason given for the lockdown and that was to prevent hospitals from becoming overloaded .
There is no indication that hospitals could ever have become overloaded , irrespective of what we did .
So we could open up again , and forget the whole thing .
How long can you do that for ?
For three weeks , that is possible .
For 18 months , it is not .
The flattening of the curve , the prolongation of the epidemic , makes it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who are at risk .
More of the elderly people become infected , and we have more deaths .
The ideal approach would be to simply shut the door of the nursing homes and keep the personnel and the elderly locked in for a certain amount of time , and pay the staff overtime to stay there for 24 hours per day .
Wittkowski : Firstly , we have the direct consequences : suicides , domestic violence and other social consequences leading to death .
And then we have people who are too @ @ @ @ @ @ @ other problems like strokes or heart attacks .
So people stay away from hospitals because of the Covid fear .
And then they die .
Wittkowski : Germany had 8,000 deaths in a population of 85million .
They had 20,000 to 30,000 hospitalisations .
In Germany , that is nothing .
It does not even show up as a blip in the hospital statistics .
In Britain , the highest hospital utilisation was about 60 per cent , if I am not mistaken .
New York is the epicenter of the epidemic in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at the epicenter , hospital utilisation was only up a bit .
Nothing dramatic .
Nothing out of the ordinary .
That is what happens during the flu season .
People have the flu , and then there are more patients in the hospitals than there otherwise would be .
In New York City , it was a bit higher .
The Javits Congress Center was turned into a field hospital with 3,000 beds .
It treated just 1,000 patients in all .
The Navy ship sent to New York by President Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ back because it was not needed .
We will actually get a bit higher than that .
So we have flattened what otherwise would have been a peak , and if we now let it run , even if the number of cases would increase a bit , it would not get as high as it was , because we already have enough immune people in the population .
So it is not going to spread as fast as it could have spread in the beginning .
Wittkowski : All the studies that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ already have at least 25 per cent of the population who are immune .
That gives us a nice cushion .
If 25 per cent of the population are already immune , we are very quickly getting to the 50 per cent that we need to have what is called herd immunity .
Wittkowski : This is an invention to justify a policy that politicians are afraid of reversing .
Wittkowski : Why ?
What is the justification for that ?
People need to ask the government for an explanation .
The government @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have to ask me for justification .
There is no justification .
It is the government that has to justify what it is doing .
Sorry , but that is how it is .
spiked : How did we get this so wrong ?
Wittkowski : Governments did not have an open discussion , including economists , biologists and epidemiologists , to hear different voices .
In Britain , it was the voice of one person – Neil Ferguson – who has a history of coming up with projections that are a bit @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a meeting with people who have different ideas , different projections , to discuss his projection .
If it had done that , it could have seen where the fundamental flaw was in the so-called models used by Neil Ferguson .
His paper was published eventually , in medRxiv .
The assumption was that one per cent of all people who became infected would die .
There is no justification anywhere for that .
Let us say the epidemic runs with a basic reproduction rate of around two .
Eventually 80 per cent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ because they have been infected at some point in time .
Eighty per cent of the British population would be something like 50million .
One per cent of them dying is 500,000 .
That is where Ferguson ’ s number came from .
But we knew from the very beginning that neither in Wuhan nor in South Korea did one per cent of all people infected die .
South Korea has 60million people .
It is about the same size as the UK .
How many deaths were in South Korea ?
Did @ @ @ @ @ @ @ South Korean government was extremely proud to have resisted pressure to drop the very basic concepts of democracy .
The epidemic in South Korea was over by March , the number of cases was down by 13 March .
In Wuhan they also did not shut down the economy .
Wuhan had restricted travel out of the city .
They stopped train services and blocked the roads .
They did not restrict anything social within the city until very late .
We have seen , then , in Wuhan and South Korea , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the epidemic is over in three weeks .
Knowing that the epidemic would be over in three weeks , and the number of people dying would be minor , just like a normal flu , the governments started shutting down in mid-March .
Why ?
Because somebody pulled it out of his head that one per cent of all infected would die .
One could argue that maybe one per cent of all cases would die .
But one per cent of all people infected does not make any sense .
And we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : Just to clarify , cases are different from people infected ?
Wittkowski : Cases means people who have symptoms that are serious enough for them to go to a hospital or get treated .
Most people have no symptoms at all .
But waking up with a sore throat one day is not a case .
A case means that someone showed up in a hospital .
spiked : The UK government was also heavily influenced by the situation in Italy .
Why did that go so wrong ?
Wittkowski : What @ @ @ @ @ @ @ virus was hitting those who were both old and had comorbidities , so lots of people died .
But the median age of those who died in Italy was around 81 years .
It is not that children or working people were dying .
It was the elderly in nursing homes – not even the elderly living by themselves mostly .
We saw lots of deaths and that scared people .
But then , Italy did an illogical thing .
It closed schools so that the schoolchildren were isolated and did not get @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Instead , the virus spread almost exclusively among the old , causing more deaths and a higher utilisation of hospitals .
And that is mind-boggling .
Very early on , we knew from China and we knew from South Korea that this is an epidemic that runs its course , and there was nothing special about it .
But when it hit Italy , we stopped thinking about it as an age-stratified problem , and instead lumped everyone all together .
The idea that if we did not shut down the schools the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ make any sense .
I frankly still can not fully understand how our governments can be so stupid .
spiked : Governments say they are following the science .
Is that really true ?
Wittkowski : They have the scientists on their side that depend on government funding .
One scientist in Germany just got $ 500million from the government , because he always says what the government wants to hear .
Scientists are in a very strange situation .
They now depend on government funding , which is a trend that has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Before that , when you were a professor at a university , you had your salary and you had your freedom .
Now , the university gives you a desk and access to the library .
And then you have to ask for government money and write grant applications .
If you are known to criticise the government , what does that do to your chance of getting funded ?
It creates a huge conflict of interest .
The people who are speaking out in Germany and Switzerland are all independent of government @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : Did the Swedish scientists get it right ?
Wittkowski : Sweden did the right thing .
And they had to take a lot of heat for it .
Now compare Sweden and the UK .
The only difference is that Sweden did fine .
They did have a problem .
They had a relatively high number of deaths among the nursing homes .
They decided to keep society open and they forgot to close nursing homes .
Remarkably , the politicians acknowledged that it was a mistake to extend that open concept @ @ @ @ @ @ @ should have been isolated to protect the elderly who are at high risk .
But I think the Swedish government is doing well to even acknowledge that mistake .
The first death in the United States was in a nursing home in Seattle .
And that was by the end of February .
So everybody knew that we were expecting the same thing that we had seen in Italy – an epidemic that hits the elderly .
But until just this week in New York State , the government told the nursing homes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ patients from hospitals , they would lose their funding .
So they would have to import the virus from the hospitals .
One third of all deaths in New York State were in nursing homes .
One could have prevented 20,000 deaths in the United States by just isolating the nursing homes .
After three or four weeks , they could have reopened and everybody would be happy .
That would have been a reasonable strategy .
But shutting down schools , driving the economy against the wall – there was no reason @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this nonsense now goes on and on , and people are inventing things like this ‘ second wave ’ , which is going to force us to change society and never live again , is that the politicians are afraid of admitting an error .
spiked : Is this easier to see in hindsight ?
Wittkowski : What I am talking about is not hindsight .
The epidemics in Wuhan and South Korea were over in mid-March .
In March , I submitted a paper to medRxiv , summarising all of that .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the data was there , and everybody who wanted to learn from it could .
On 17 April , Robert Redfield , director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention , presented data at the coronavirus presidential briefing at the White House .
And there was one plot that he presented .
And I looked at it and asked why people were not jumping to their feet .
Why were people not understanding what they were looking at ?
The plot was the data from the ILINet .
For 15 years @ @ @ @ @ @ @ shows up with an influenza-like illness – fever , coughing , whatever .
There were three spikes in the 2019-2020 flu season .
The first was in late December – influenza B .
The next was in late January – an influenza A epidemic .
And then there was one that had a peak in hospital visits around 8 March – Covid-19 .
For the peak to happen on that day , those patients have to go through a seven-day incubation period and then have symptoms .
But they do not go to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ If it gets worse over three days , only then do they go to a hospital .
Four weeks later , on 8 April , the number of new infections was already down .
In time for Easter , our governments should have acknowledged they were overly cautious .
People would have accepted that .
Two weeks ’ shutdown would not have been the end of the world .
We would not have what we have now – 30million people unemployed in the United States , for example .
Companies do not go @ @ @ @ @ @ @ months is a very different story .
If you have to pay rent for two months for a restaurant in New York with no income , you will go bankrupt .
We see unemployment , we see bankruptcies , we see a lot of money wasted for economic-rescue packages – trillions of dollars in the United States .
We see more deaths and illness than we would otherwise have had .
And it is going on and on and on , just because governments are afraid of admitting an error .
They are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they have to do things slowly , and that they have ‘ avoided 500,000 deaths ’ in the UK .
But that was an absurd number that had no justification .
The person presenting it pretended it was based on a model .
It was not a model .
It was the number of one per cent of all people infected dying .
And nobody was questioning it .
And that is the basic problem .
spiked : People will say that the interventions in South Korea – like contact tracing – were @ @ @ @ @ @ @ orders of magnitude , take us from 500,000 to 256 , the number of deaths in South Korea ?
To have that kind of effect you would have to put everybody in the UK into a negative pressure room .
It is totally unrealistic to even consider a reduction from 500,000 to 256 .

Wittkowski: No.

humansarefree--2020-06-01--The George Floyd Protests – 20 Unanswered Questions

Racial politics in America are a simmering pot waiting to boil over , they have been for decades .
This is only exacerbated as the poverty created by the ( totally unnecessary ) lockdown starts to hit home .
As the weather gets hot , and jobs dry up and prices skyrocket and the small businesses close… people will get tense .
They will get angry .
This is dry tinder which can burst into flames at any moment .
All it took was a spark .
Now the protesters swarm cities all across America , as windows are smashed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ afire .
Civilians are being maced and tasered and the rubber bullets are flying .
How did we get here ?
It started when a video of a police officer ( later identified as Derek Chauvin ) kneeling on the neck of a black man ( later identified as George Floyd ) went viral .
And this is the first thing we need to interrogate .
Though , of course , most of us won ’ t .
“ Going viral ” is a term that has smoothly worked itself into our collective @ @ @ @ @ @ @ half .
Everyone thinks of it as an organic process that lacks impetus or agency .
This is not so , as a moment ’ s reflection will tell you .
Things don ’ t just “ go viral ” , things are made to go viral .
Videos need to be made , edited , uploaded and shared by the right people at the right time in the right way in order to ‘ go viral ’ .
Backstories need to be written up .
Narratives created .
Why is George Floyd @ @ @ @ @ @ @ vid ?
Police brutality is an unfortunate fact of life in over-militarized America .
It happens every day , to poor and disenfranchised people , black and white .
Some even get caught on a phone vid ( just search “ police brutality compilation ” on YouTube ) .
And almost no one sees , and no one much cares .
Why is this death different ?
Why did this video suddenly get noticed , and not the dozens of other videos of police being brutally violent ?
Why , within mere days @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a brand new ad endorsing the protests ?
Why is an allegedly grass-roots social revolution enjoying sponsorship as if they were a sports team ?
And why has the deification of violence become a central theme ?
It ’ s important to note that not all of these protests have been violent : …but you would never know that from the mainstream media coverage .
The liberal Left press have , in fact , been focusing almost fetishistically on the violence .
But not to condemn it .
For years the “ liberal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ even the hint of aggression ( often associated with ‘ toxic masculinity ’ ) .
Even virtual aggression .
Even harsh language .
Twitter and Facebook shut down accounts based on people using ‘ hate ’ .
People are “ traumatised ” by “ cyber bullying ” .
The “ aggressive language ” and “ bullying tactics ” of Corbyn ’ s “ hard left ” supporters were constantly complained about throughout the pages of The Guardian .
Until yesterday when , with that transformative magic available only to a propaganda outfit with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , suddenly the Graun decided to run a story headlined “ If violence isn ’ t the way to end racism in America , then what is ?
” .
Why are they saying this ?
Why did RT run a similar op-ed that used exactly the same arguments , in exactly the same way ?
In The Now , with Rania Khalek , actually had a guest say : Why are we being sold this new meme that violence is now , it merely acceptable , but inevitable , even good .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ it seems we ’ re not supposed to ) that for months now we ’ ve been told only “ covidiots ” would dare go outside without permission .
That only the irredeemably selfish would go out without wearing a mask .
That lives were at stake .
Last month , Khalek herself even called anti-lockdown protestors members of a “ death cult ” for simply doing exactly what the rioters are now doing – sans most of the violence .
So , what does Khalek think has changed exactly ?
Actually let @ @ @ @ @ @ @ UK police who are now , suddenly and without explanation just fine with large numbers of people mingling in Trafalgar Square .
Why are mass gatherings in the US , Berlin and London not ‘ murder ’ any more ?
It ’ s the responsibility of the alternate media to hit the pause button , to take a breath and not be swept along with the emotional current .
We have to ask the questions no one is asking .
Exactly how did the video of George Floyd ’ s last moments go @ @ @ @ @ @ @ streets are reporting stacks of loose bricks on street corners : Why are they reporting “ organizers ” of the riots “ encouraging kids to attack cops ” : Further , the police seem to have no regard for their own public image .
The Minneapolis riot police detained a black CNN reporter live on air , without first insisting they stop recording .
[ Was this a staged event ? ]
Other police across the country are ramming protestors with their cars and pepper-spraying little girls .
Why ?
Why are police @ @ @ @ @ @ @ themselves look as bad as possible and to further incentivise this multi focal promotion of violence ?
Because they are entirely corrupt and almost cartoonishly evil ?
Well , maybe .

Who will benefit from this chaos ?
America is under attack by 187 groups funded by George Soros .

Racial politics in America are a simmering pot waiting to boil over, they have been for decades. This is only exacerbated as the poverty created by the (totally unnecessary) lockdown starts to hit home.
As the weather gets hot, and jobs dry up and prices skyrocket and the small businesses close… people will get tense. They will get angry.
This is dry tinder which can burst into flames at any moment.
All it took was a spark.
Now the protesters swarm cities all across America, as windows are smashed, shops looted and public buildings set afire. Civilians are being maced and tasered and the rubber bullets are flying.
How did we get here?
It started when a video of a police officer (later identified as Derek Chauvin) kneeling on the neck of a black man (later identified as George Floyd) went viral.
And this is the first thing we need to interrogate. Though, of course, most of us won’t.
“Going viral” is a term that has smoothly worked itself into our collective lexicon over the last decade and a half. Everyone thinks of it as an organic process that lacks impetus or agency. This is not so, as a moment’s reflection will tell you. Things don’t just “go viral”, things are made to go viral.
Videos need to be made, edited, uploaded and shared by the right people at the right time in the right way in order to ‘go viral’. Backstories need to be written up. Narratives created.
Why is George Floyd’s tragic end now a viral vid?
Police brutality is an unfortunate fact of life in over-militarized America. It happens every day, to poor and disenfranchised people, black and white. Some even get caught on a phone vid (just search “police brutality compilation” on YouTube). And almost no one sees, and no one much cares.
Why is this death different? Why did this video suddenly get noticed, and not the dozens of other videos of police being brutally violent?
Why, within mere days of the incident, did NIKE have a brand new ad endorsing the protests?
Why is an allegedly grass-roots social revolution enjoying sponsorship as if they were a sports team?
And why has the deification of violence become a central theme?
It’s important to note that not all of these protests have been violent:
Incredible scene at Colorado’s Capitol right now. Thousands of protesters are lying face down with their hands behind their backs chanting “I can’t breathe.” They’re doing this for 9 mins. #copolitics #denverprotest #GeorgeFloyd pic.twitter.com/PaABvp8ZoM — Colorado Times Recorder (@COTimesRecorder) May 30, 2020
…but you would never know that from the mainstream media coverage. The liberal Left press have, in fact, been focusing almost fetishistically on the violence. But not to condemn it.
Quite the contrary.
For years the “liberal” press has clutched its pearls over even the hint of aggression (often associated with ‘toxic masculinity’). Even virtual aggression. Even harsh language.
Twitter and Facebook shut down accounts based on people using ‘hate’. People are “traumatised” by “cyber bullying”. The “aggressive language” and “bullying tactics” of Corbyn’s “hard left” supporters were constantly complained about throughout the pages of The Guardian.
Until yesterday when, with that transformative magic available only to a propaganda outfit with no perceived need to make internal sense, suddenly the Graun decided to run a story headlined “If violence isn’t the way to end racism in America, then what is?”.
Why are they saying this?
Why did RT run a similar op-ed that used exactly the same arguments, in exactly the same way?
In The Now, with Rania Khalek, actually had a guest say:
“More attention gets paid when stuff burns down.”
Why are we being sold this new meme that violence is now, it merely acceptable, but inevitable, even good.
And let’s recall (though it seems we’re not supposed to) that for months now we’ve been told only “covidiots” would dare go outside without permission. That only the irredeemably selfish would go out without wearing a mask. That lives were at stake. Last month, Khalek herself even called anti-lockdown protestors members of a “death cult” for simply doing exactly what the rioters are now doing – sans most of the violence.
So, what does Khalek think has changed exactly?
Actually let’s ask the same about the UK police who are now, suddenly and without explanation just fine with large numbers of people mingling in Trafalgar Square.
Support for the U.S. protests against racism and police violence is spreading abroad. On Sunday, hundreds of people rallied outside the U.S. Embassy in Berlin. And hundreds more marched from Trafalgar Square to the U.S. Embassy in London: https://t.co/KGXfxGzMt9 pic.twitter.com/N9A89r0DvC — The New York Times (@nytimes) May 31, 2020
Why are mass gatherings in the US, Berlin and London not ‘murder’ any more?
It’s the responsibility of the alternate media to hit the pause button, to take a breath and not be swept along with the emotional current.
We have to ask the questions no one is asking.
Exactly how did the video of George Floyd’s last moments go viral?
Why are people on the streets are reporting stacks of loose bricks on street corners:
Why are they reporting “organizers” of the riots “encouraging kids to attack cops”:
AOC has released a list of demands She is positioning herself as the negotiator for her Antifa friends pic.twitter.com/kA4r9vLweS — Jack Posobiec (@JackPosobiec) May 31, 2020
Further, the police seem to have no regard for their own public image.
The Minneapolis riot police detained a black CNN reporter live on air, without first insisting they stop recording. [Was this a staged event?]
Other police across the country are ramming protestors with their cars and pepper-spraying little girls. Why?
Why are police currently going of their way to make themselves look as bad as possible and to further incentivise this multi focal promotion of violence? Because they are entirely corrupt and almost cartoonishly evil? Well, maybe. Or is it because in this narrative they have been cast as the Heel?
Lastly, what do the rioters want? Sure, the people themselves, the ones in the streets, are angry, about a lot of things, and rightly so. But what do the new supporters of this violence – the people telling us sometimes it’s the only way – actually want?
The only way to what?
What is the goal that, when achieved, will signal everyone can go home?
Is there one?
Or is the importance of violence to the ones advocating it from the safety of their middle class workstations, that is has no clear aim and can therefore – much like the one apparently superseded covid19 crisis, be turned on and off at will?
Violence, looting and riots won’t solve any of the political problems in America, but will cause more. So why are they being encouraged?
As this gets published, curfews are being introduced all across the country, national guard units are on high alert, and the media continue to pump out alarmist stories stoking the conflict.
Who will benefit from this chaos?
America is under attack by 187 groups funded by George Soros.


humansarefree--2020-06-01--Another Bill Gates Vaccine Bites the Dust — Sick Monkeys Everywhere!

One day after revelations that the Gates/Fauci Moderna vaccine caused severe illnesses in 20 % of high-dose recipients , Bill Gates got devastating news about his other “ warp-speed ” COVAX bet .
The Oxford Vaccine Group ( OVG ) spike-protein vaccine was on an even faster track than Moderna .
In May , Melinda Gates predicted it would be jab-ready by years ’ end .
Oxford and UK officials promised 30 million doses by September .
On April 24 , OVG scientists announced that a small macaque study proved the vaccine effective .
OVG quickly recruited 510 healthy volunteers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on May 13th reveals the vaccine is less promising than the OVG team implied .
All vaccinated macaques sickened after exposure to COVID-19 .
Edinburgh University ’ s Eleanor Riley told Forbes the vaccine provided “ insufficient ” antibodies to prevent infection and viral shedding .
Vaccinated monkeys spread the disease as readily as unvaccinated .
Bill Gates Admits : 700,000 People Will Be Harmed Or Killed By Coronavirus Vaccines Pollard used his power and deceitful puffery about the monkey trial to bulldoze his COVID vaccine into human trials .
He shunned inert @ @ @ @ @ @ @ three weeks to hide long-term injuries .
The OVG is politically wired .
Lead developer Andrew Pollard juggles scandalous conflicts that allow him to license , register , and mandate his own untested vaccines to the masses .
Pollard is Senior Advisor to Britain ’ s MRHA Panel which licenses vaccines , chairs Britain ’ s JVCI committee that mandates them , and advises the European Medicine Agency ( EMA ) .
He takes payments from virtually all the big vaccine makers .
In 2014 , Pollard developed GlaxoSmithKline ’ s notorious Bexsero @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to children despite significant safety signals for Kawasaki Disease and the rarity of meningococcal B infections .
The package insert says Bexsero may cause Kawasaki disease in as many as one out of every 1000 children based on reports in the clinical trials .
Pollard used his power and deceitful puffery about the monkey trial to bulldoze his COVID vaccine into human trials .
He shunned inert placebo tests and restricted safety studies to three weeks to hide long-term injuries .
Forbes reported on May 21 that the U.S. Biomedical Advanced Research and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ $ 1 billion to Astra Zeneca in partnership with Oxford for a rushed rollout of the vaccine in September .
In an update on May 22 , the Oxford researchers revealed that “ 1,000 immunisations have been completed ” and that next study will enroll “ up to 10,260 adults and children and will involve a number of partner institutions across the country.
” Pollard is steaming ahead with his ineffective vaccine .
But a vaccine that hides symptoms and allows transmission is worse than no vaccine at all .
Bill Gates Admits @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Killed By Coronavirus Vaccines

Back in the summer, billionaire eugenicist Billy Boy admitted during a virtual TED Talk that his plan is to require all humans to obtain digital jjab passports before being allowed to travel again post-COVID.
Since that time, however, Gates and his allies have attempted, but failed, to memory hole all evidence of this statement.
If you try to search online for footage of Gates’ June 2020 TED Talk, the only thing that now pops up are edited versions of it that remove the portion where Gates admits to wanting to track and trace humanity with plandemic microchips and quantum dot tattoos.
“So eventually there will be sort of this digital immunity proof that you know will help facilitate the global reopening up, um,” Gates stated in the original footage, which as far as we can tell has been scrubbed everywhere except for Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Instagram page.
Here’s a mirrored video from RFK Jr’s Instagram page:

Billy Boy is Also Denying His Involvement in Implantable Microchips: ‘I’ve Never Been Involved In Any Sort Of Microchip-Type Thing’ — But There’s Evidence for That As Well
For whatever reason, Gates is suddenly shy about wanting to inject people with subdermal microchips and luciferase tattoo ink as part of the “Global Reset” that the so-called “elites” have planned for the world.
However, Gates actually has been substantially involved in a majorly invasive microchip program. In fact, he directly commissioned such a program from a company called Microchips Biotech that specializes in implantable microchips. You can follow THIS and THIS links for more information on the subject, as well as watch the video below:
Unless you already knew that Gates made the aforementioned statement during the original livestream, it is difficult to tell in the “updated” footage that this portion of the interview was removed.
Most people who watch it will agree that Gates “never said it,” simply because it is no longer available on YouTube or anywhere else in the mainstream media.
Ultimate Proof: Covid-19 Was Planned To Usher In The New World Order
Billy Boy was plotting global genocide and Mark of the Beast implants long before COVID-19
Back in April, Gates admitted during an “Ask Me Anything” (AMA) event on Reddit to much the same thing, though.
Gates told interested Redditors about his goal to transform the world in the name of “public health” by unleashing “digital certificates to show who has recovered or been tested recently or when we have a jjab, who has received it.”
The former Microsoft head also talked about quantum dot tattoos, ID2020, and other Mark of the Beast paraphernalia that will soon be released from the pit of hell to “cure” the world of COVID-19.
In July 2019, roughly six months before COVID-19 was even a thing, Scientific American published an in-depth article about how Gates had commissioned scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to develop said technology.
Just in time for COVID-19, Gates invested billions into a program that will eventually implant quantum dot tattoos into children so their health status can be tracked using smartphone apps.
Microsoft also developed an implantable chip technology with sensors that will monitor body and brain activity. Those who comply with Gates’ microchip scheme will be “awarded” cryptocurrency payments and other “perks.”
Also in July 2019, Gates bought 3.7 million shares of Serco, a military contractor with contracts in both the United States and the United Kingdom that tracks and traces pandemic infections and jjab compliance.
Other Gates investments include $20 million in MicroCHIPS, a company that makes digital implants, as well as $1 billion in EarthNow, a company that promises to blanket the globe in 5G video surveillance satellites.
“EarthNow will launch 500 satellites allowing governments and large enterprises to live-stream monitor almost every ‘corner’ of the Earth, providing instantaneous video feedback with one-second delay,” reports Children’s Health Defense (CHD).
“The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation also acquired 5.3 million shares of Crown Castle, which owns 5G spy antennas including more than 40,000 cell towers and 65,000 small cells.”

In recent days a series of leaks across the globe have further shown the “ official line ” on coronavirus does not hold water .
The science of the coronavirus is not disputed .
It is well documented and openly admitted : • Most people won ’ t get the virus .

Here are three leaks showing that those in power know that the coronavirus poses no threat , and in no way @ @ @ @ @ @ @ destroy the livelihoods of so many .

The science of the coronavirus is not disputed. It is well documented and openly admitted:
Most people won’t get the virus.
Most of the people who get it won’t display symptoms.
Most of the people who display symptoms will only be mildly sick.
Most of the people with severe symptoms will never be critically ill.
And most of the people who get critically ill will survive.
This is borne out by the numerous serological studies which show, again and again, that the infection fatality ratio is on par with flu.
There is no science – and increasingly little rational discussion – to justify the lockdown measures and overall sense of global panic.
Nevertheless, it’s always good to get official acknowledgement of the truth, even if it has to be leaked.
Here are three leaks showing that those in power know that the coronavirus poses no threat, and in no way justifies the lockdown that is going to destroy the livelihoods of so many.
1. Russian Covid chief: “It’s all bullshit!”
On May 26th Dr Alexander Myasnikov, Russia’s head of coronavirus information, gave an interview to former Presidential candidate Ksenia Sobchak in which he apparently let slip his true feelings.
Believing the interview over, and the camera turned off, Myasnikov said:
“It’s all bullshit […] It’s all exaggerated. It’s an acute respiratory disease with minimal mortality […] Why has the whole world been destroyed? That I don’t know.” – Continue reading
2. “Covid-19 cannot be described as a generally dangerous disease”
According to an e-mail leaked to Danish newspaper Politiken, the Danish Health Authority disagree with their government’s approach to the coronavirus.
They cover it in two articles here and here (For those who don’t speak Danish, thelocal.dk have covered the story too).
There’s a lot of interesting information there, not least of which is the clear implication that politicians appear to be pressing the scientific advisors to overstate the danger (they did the same thing in the UK), along with the decision of some civil servants to withhold data from the public until after the lockdown had been extended.
But by far the most important quote is from a March 15th e-mail [our emphasis]:
“The Danish Health Authority continues to consider that covid-19 cannot be described as a generally dangerous disease, as it does not have either a usually serious course or a high mortality rate.”
On March 12th the Danish parliament passed an emergency law which – among many other things – decreased the power of the Danish Health Authority, demoting it from a “regulatory authority” to just an “advisory” one.
3. “A Global False Alarm”
Earlier this month, on May 9th, a report was leaked to the German alternate media magazine Tichys Einblick titled “Analysis of the Crisis Management”.
The report was commissioned by the German department of the interior, but then its findings were ignored, prompting one of the authors to release it through non-official channels.
The fall out of that, including attacks on the authors and minimising of the report’s findings, is all very fascinating and we highly recommend this detailed report (or read the full report here in German).
We’re going to focus on just the reports conclusions, including [our emphasis]:
The dangerousness of Covid-19 was overestimated: probably at no point did the danger posed by the new virus go beyond the normal level .
. The danger is obviously no greater than that of many other viruses. There is no evidence that this was more than a false alarm .
. During the Corona crisis the State has proved itself as one of the biggest producers of Fake News.
After being attacked in the press, and suspended from his job, the leaker and other authors of the report released a joint statement, calling on the government to respond to their findings.
If the current crisis was being approached rationally by all parties, these leaks would seal the debate.
Evidence is piling up that the people in charge knew, from the very beginning, that the virus was not dangerous.
The question remaining is: Why are these leaks happening now?

Sex in your house with someone from outside of your household is set to become illegal today.
The government is introducing new lockdown measures in England that prevent people from socialising (or gathering) with one person from outside of their household in a private space.
Up until now the person visiting a house for sex would have been the one in breach of the measures.
But now both people would technically be able to be prosecuted under the law, with Amendment Regulations being introduced in Parliament on Monday.
For those couples looking for a workaround, having sex in a public place is already illegal.

A man interviewed on camera during last night’s chaos in Minneapolis warned that rioters are planning on “coming to the suburbs” if they don’t get what they want.
The twin cities were once again rocked by a night of absolute bedlam as more stores were looted and rioters set fire to the 3rd police precinct building, prompting cops to flee the scene.
“It’s real bogus, they gotta hit it right, otherwise this is what’s gonna happen, ain’t nothing left here so when we start coming to the suburbs, when we come to the government center, then what y’all gonna do?” the mask-wearing African American asks.
“You see what I’m saying, so eh that’s just what’s gonna happen, you know – f**k the police,” he adds.

President Trump has promised to bring in the National Guard if local authorities are incapable of handling the violence, something that is pretty much self-evident at this point.
As we highlighted earlier, despite the riots spreading across the country and becoming more violent, the media is still describing the carnage as a legitimate “protest.”

As riots continue across the U.S. today, more and more evidence is surfacing that the months of lock downs were based on a false narrative propagated by the corporate media, which is where the real fake news originates these days, as their Big Tech partners work hard to suppress the truth about Coronavirus from publications like Health Impact News and others in the alternative media.
The publication Off-Guardian ran a story yesterday (May 31, 2020) with three examples where the media got caught trying to hide the truth about Coronavirus:
On May 26th Dr Alexander Myasnikov, Russia’s head of coronavirus information, gave an interview to former-Presidential candidate Ksenia Sobchak in which he apparently let slip his true feelings.
Believing the interview over, and the camera turned off, Myasnikov said:
“It’s all bullshit […] It’s all exaggerated. It’s an acute respiratory disease with minimal mortality […] Why has the whole world been destroyed? That I don’t know.”
According to an e-mail leaked to Danish newspaper Politiken, the Danish Health Authority disagree with their government’s approach to the coronavirus. They cover it in two articles here and here (For those who don’t speak Danish, thelocal.dk have covered the story too).
There’s a lot of interesting information there, not least of which is the clear implication that politicians appear to be pressing the scientific advisors to overstate the danger (they did the same thing in the UK), along with the decision of some civil servants to withhold data from the public until after the lockdown had been extended.
But by far the most important quote is from a March 15th e-mail [our emphasis]:
The Danish Health Authority continues to consider that covid-19 cannot be described as a generally dangerous disease, as it does not have either a usually serious course or a high mortality rate,”
Earlier this month, on May 9th, a report was leaked to the German alternate media magazine Tichys Einblick titled “Analysis of the Crisis Management”.
The report was commissioned by the German department of the interior, but then its findings were ignored, prompting one of the authors to release it through non-official channels.
The fall out of that, including attacks on the authors and minimising of the report’s findings, is all very fascinating and we highly recommend this detailed report (or read the full report here in German).
We’re going to focus on just the reports conclusions, including [our emphasis]:
The dangerousness of Covid-19 was overestimated: probably at no point did the danger posed by the new virus go beyond the normal level.
The danger is obviously no greater than that of many other viruses. There is no evidence that this was more than a false alarm .
. During the Corona crisis the State has proved itself as one of the biggest producers of Fake News.
After being attacked in the press, and suspended from his job, the leaker and other authors of the report released a joint statement, calling on the government to respond to their findings.

On May 29, 2020, The Strategic Culture Foundation also covered the story of the leaked document in Germany, and the attempts by the media there to do “damage control.”
Germany’s federal government and mainstream media are engaged in damage control after a report that challenges the established Corona narrative leaked from the interior ministry.
Some of the report key passages are:
The dangerousness of Covid-19 was overestimated: probably at no point did the danger posed by the new virus go beyond the normal level.
The people who die from Corona are essentially those who would statistically die this year, because they have reached the end of their lives and their weakened bodies can no longer cope with any random everyday stress (including the approximately 150 viruses currently in circulation).
Worldwide, within a quarter of a year, there has been no more than 250,000 deaths from Covid-19, compared to 1.5 million deaths [25,100 in Germany] during the influenza wave 2017/18.
The danger is obviously no greater than that of many other viruses. There is no evidence that this was more than a false alarm.
A reproach could go along these lines: During the Corona crisis the State has proved itself as one of the biggest producers of Fake News.
So far, so bad. But it gets worse.
The report focuses on the “manifold and heavy consequences of the Corona measures” and warns that these are “grave”.
More people are dying because of state-imposed Corona-measures than they are being killed by the virus.
The reason is a scandal in the making:
A Corona-focused German healthcare system is postponing life-saving surgery and delaying or reducing treatment for non-Corona patients.

Of course, the same thing is happening here in the U.S. Could part of the reason people are taking to the streets and rioting these past few days be because many are waking up to the fact that they have not been told the truth about why so many of them had to lose their jobs and freedoms?
