LOCKDOWN LUNACY 3.0 – It’s Over

If you ’ re hoping the COVID-19 pandemic will go on forever , this post may disappoint you .
And , I get it .
We have gone frothing-at-the-mouth nuts over a slightly above-normal virulence virus , with a unique and obvious age-distribution pattern that should have made containment easy and panic completely unnecessary .
And , if you ’ re living in the United States , like I am , you probably think my declaration that this pandemic is “ over ” to be somewhere between wishful thinking and incredibly premature , and I hear you , too , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not sure you ’ re the one thinking clearly , given some of the things I ’ ve recently read .
I promise to support my assertion with data , and the wisdom of people far more expert than me who are having a harder time being heard in the present climate of…bats # @ t crazy .
Have we lost our collective minds ?
Yes .
You may not be one of them .
In fact , I ’ m guessing the people who actually take the time to read my blog @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t been subsumed by the panic , but can we agree that most have ?
Jeffrey A. Tucker of the American Institute for Economic Research put it best in his excellent essay on July 10 titled , When will the Madness End ?
: I ’ m 50 years old , and I ’ ve noticed that younger people seem particularly scared of COVID-19 , they are the ones I typically see biking and hiking with masks on , and this survey really corroborated that point : Daniel Horowitz wrote a great @ @ @ @ @ @ @ study : Millennials think their risk from COVID-19 is exponentially more than the true threat .
He writes : I thought that survey was bad enough , but a different survey by Kekst CNC asking different questions revealed a simply astonishing figure : Americans over-estimated the TOTAL number of compatriots who have died from COVID-19 by 200-fold !
When asked the question ( in mid-July ) , “ How many people in your country have died from the Coronavirus ?
” , Americans responded “ 9 % , ” which would be roughly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of 151,000 .
No wonder people are panicked ( and wildly , wildly misinformed . )
Great , so we can at least agree on three points : 1 ) Society has lost its collective mind over a virus , and 2 ) younger people wildly overestimate the risk of dying from COVID-19 , which creates a vicious cycle with Point # 1 , and 3 ) Americans have wildly overestimated how many people have died from COVID-19 .
This is the third time I have written about the pandemic .
My first @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and perspective .
I think there are five bits of data that I ’ ve explored in the past that merit an update : 1 .
Infection Fatality Rate : The “ IFR ” , unlike the “ Case Fatality Rate ” that is more often quoted in the news , is the ACTUAL fatality rate of COVID-19 .
In order to accurately forecast the IFR , you need two bits of data : total deaths , and total people who have had the virus .
The second data point is harder to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ asymptomatic , but the most reliable data I have found is in this meta-analysis by Stanford ’ s Dr. John Ioannidis titled , The infection fatality rate of COVID-19 inferred from seroprevalence data .
What does the paper conclude ?
A median IFR of 0.25 % .
It ’ s hard to make this point strongly enough : a virus with an IFR this low would never , ever merit the response we ’ ve seen from health authorities and elected officials .
COVID-19 is hardly a “ once in a century pandemic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it ’ s a strong flu bug , nothing more .
2 .
Death rates by age stratification .
The best science I have seen showing IFR by age is this study titled Assesssing the Age Specificity of Infection Fatality Rates for COVID-19 : Meta-Analysis & Public Policy Implications .
Check out this chart : I wish this chart broke the age down even further , particularly in the 0-10 or 0-20 age range , where the IFR is effectively zero .
These facts are slowly making their way into the mainstream , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and fatality risk for COVID-19 are exponentially related .
In non-technical terms , COVID-19 poses a very low risk for children and younger adults but is hazardous for middle-aged adults and extremely dangerous for elderly people.
” 3 .
Herd Immunity Threshold .
Since my previous blog post , when I wrote about Herd Immunity Threshold in detail , it ’ s becoming even more clear that the “ H.I.T.
” of COVID-19 is very likely in the 10-20 % range , rather than the 60-70 % range that was originally thought .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ importance of this difference , because it supports exactly WHY COVID-19 has already reached herd immunity in most of Europe , and WHY we ’ re almost done here in the U.S. , too .
Here ’ s one new paper , Herd immunity thresholds for SARS-CoV-2 estimated from unfolding epidemics .
Their conclusion : The conclusion that COVID-19 ’ s H.I.T .
is between 10-20 % is gaining wide acceptance , and it ’ s being borne out in the real world as countries everywhere are watching deaths from COVID-19 simply dry @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of new people to infect .
The obvious explanation for WHY the H.I.T .
for COVID-19 is far lower than thought is that many more of us are naturally immune to COVID-19 , because our T-cells carry immunity based on the fact that we ’ ve all been exposed to many corona viruses , which is commonly called a cold .
My favorite outspoken scientist on this issue is Oxford ’ s Dr. Sunetra Gupta , check out this interview with her titled , “ We may already have herd immunity – an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ quote : If you read one link in this whole blog post , I ’ d make it this interview with Dr. Gupta , it ’ s wide-ranging and she also explains how lockdowns not only don ’ t work ( see next ) but that countries and states that sealed themselves off—like New Zealand or Hawaii—are simply postponing their day of reckoning .
Dr. Gupta and her team ’ s new paper , The impact of host resistance on cumulative mortality and the threshold of herd immunity for SARS-CoV-2 , explores the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Lockdowns don ’ t work .
Getting politicians involved in trying to fight the normal course of a viral illness will hopefully be seen my historians as one of the silliest things we ever chose to do .
In simple terms , a virus is gon na be a virus .
As Dr. Gupta explains , “ The epidemic is an ecological relationship that we have to manage between ourselves and the virus .
But instead , people are looking at it as a completely external thing.
” Said differently , like @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to stay .
Lockdowns provide politicians with an “ illusion of control ” but the data is rolling in that they have been useless , and even one of the world ’ s most prestigious medical journals , has weighed in .
Titled , A country level analysis measuring the impact of government actions , country preparedness and socioeconomic factors on COVID-19 mortality and related health outcomes , their conclusions are pretty stark , and depressing for those of us who have undergone lockdowns : German scientists looked at the same topic just @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the same conclusion in this paper titled , Change points in the spread of COVID-19 question the effectiveness of nonpharmaceutical interventions in Germany .
An excerpt : All these American Governors threatening to resume lockdowns ?
Yes , there ’ s no science that supports anything they are threatening .
A virus is going to be a virus , which leads me to the final piece of data before we look at the evidence that inspired the title of this piece , the evidence that the pandemic is OVER .
5 .
Viruses @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and the death rate is the only reliable way to track them .
A team at Oxford explains this way better than I ever can .
In this post titled COVID-19 : William Farr ’ s way out of the Pandemic , they explain how Farr , a UK epidemiologist from the mid-19th century , understood that all viruses follow a similar pattern , and that the slope of the death curve on the way up will roughly equal the slope on the way down , which means if you know when you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a very good idea of when the virus will be extinguished .
As Farr wrote , “ The death rate is a fact ; anything beyond this is an inference.
” The Oxford scientists write : I think there are two points about Farr ’ s Law that deserve further clarification : • In order to prove the virus is basically done , I ’ m going to be showing you death curves from all over the world .
My death curves are based on country-specific reported COVID-19 deaths .
This runs the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the pressure in many places to classify any questionable death as a COVID-19 death .
The proper way to measure the impact of a virus is to compare current year “ all cause mortality ” versus previous year “ all cause mortality.
” This is a far more accurate way to see IF COVID-19 impacted mortality , and the way Farr recommended doing it .
• I missed something when I wrote my previous blog post .
While Farr has been proven right , that viruses typically have the same death slope @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I missed the wisdom of another British scientist , Dr. Edgar Hope Simpson , who explained that the course of a virus is DIFFERENT in terms of both timing and its slope , based on WHERE in the world you live , by latitude .
Whether driven by solar radiation or Vitamin D levels , Hope-Simpson long ago predicted exactly what happened in California , Arizona , Texas , and Florida in the last month : COVID-19 came later , on a lower death curve , to U.S. states that sit at or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from his book that shows this visually ) .
Hope-Simpson ’ s seminal work is a book titled The Transmission of Epidemic Influenza , and why our public health authorities never discuss the fact that seasonal viruses hit our lower latitudes later in the year is beyond me .
The U.S. is unique , relative to Western Europe , because our geography is so vast .
In simple terms , our northern states are done with their death curves , and our southern states are almost there .
Read on .
It ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it ’ s over Now we get to the fun part : celebrating that the COVID-19 pandemic is over in most Northern countries and passed the peak in most Southern countries .
In the United States , we actually have two distinct death curves , roughly divided along the 35th parallel .
The Northern states are done , and the Southern states are almost done .
I ’ ll start with the rest of the world , and finish with the U.S .
Please note that ALL the death curve charts I ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you can go see the exact same ones for yourself .
Are they imperfect ?
Yes .
But , they are the best we have .
Will I give you an actual date for the U.S. ?
Yes , I will .
Here are the death curves , from Worldometers , for six European countries .
It ’ s self-explanatory , so I won ’ t belabor the point .
To state the obvious : Sweden had no lockdown .
Amongst the other five countries , the choice for HOW to lockdown varied @ @ @ @ @ @ @ seeing these charts , if you still think lockdowns are important in the management of a seasonal virus , I can ’ t help you .
In Western Europe , IT ’ S OVER , and it had nothing to do with how governments , or the populace , behaved .
A virus does what a virus does .
Using the same data from Worldometers , it ’ s also over in the northern states .
Note that in certain states , the impact from COVID-19 is so tiny , the death curves @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I ’ m focusing on larger population states that actually have a curve .
I looked at New York , New Jersey , Massachusetts , Illinois , Indiana , and Michigan .
In the Northern U.S states , IT ’ S OVER , and it had nothing to do with how governments , or the populace , behaved .
A virus does what a virus does .
This quote from Dr. Gupta of Oxford explains the mistake the press keeps making by treating the U.S. so homogeneously : This is the most confusing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will be over in the United States .
Take a look at the TOTAL U.S. death curve when I wrote my last blog post , and where it is today : What happened ?
Seasonal viral patterns of southern latitude states .
Well , luckily for me , some smart and enterprising analysts graphed the U.S. death curve , but did something different , they separated the states by using the division of the 35th parallel , basically turning us into two separate countries .
They had to make some judgments , so @ @ @ @ @ @ @ number , and here ’ s how the death curves looks : This is an excellent quick video that explains this seasonal dynamic : There ’ s plenty of data showing that the southern states are all past their peak .

If you’re hoping the COVID-19 pandemic will go on forever, this post may disappoint you. And, I get it. We have gone frothing-at-the-mouth nuts over a slightly above-normal virulence virus, with a unique and obvious age-distribution pattern that should have made containment easy and panic completely unnecessary. And, if you’re living in the United States, like I am, you probably think my declaration that this pandemic is “over” to be somewhere between wishful thinking and incredibly premature, and I hear you, too, although forgive me if I’m not sure you’re the one thinking clearly, given some of the things I’ve recently read. I promise to support my assertion with data, and the wisdom of people far more expert than me who are having a harder time being heard in the present climate of…bats#@t crazy.
Have we lost our collective minds? Yes.
You may not be one of them. In fact, I’m guessing the people who actually take the time to read my blog posts are the few remaining who haven’t been subsumed by the panic, but can we agree that most have? Jeffrey A. Tucker of the American Institute for Economic Research put it best in his excellent essay on July 10 titled, When will the Madness End?:
“I’m a practicing psychiatrist who specializes in anxiety disorders, paranoid delusions, and irrational fear. I’ve been treating this in individuals as a specialist. It’s hard enough to contain these problems in normal times. What’s happening now is a spread of this serious medical condition to the whole population. It can happen with anything but here we see a primal fear of disease turning into mass panic. It seems almost deliberate. It is tragic. Once this starts, it could take years to repair the psychological damage.”
I’m 50 years old, and I’ve noticed that younger people seem particularly scared of COVID-19, they are the ones I typically see biking and hiking with masks on, and this survey really corroborated that point:
The age gradient is striking. The young attach higher probabilities to people like themselves contracting Covid-19, of being hospitalized conditional on infection, and of dying conditional on infection. Arguably, young respondents have a lifestyle that exposes them to wider networks, and this may explain why they feel more likely to be infected. But their assessment of health risks conditional on infection are puzzling in light of the evidence that Covid-19 is significantly less severe for younger people…Third, and crucially, young people, as compared to older people, report substantially higher mortality rates for every age group. Young people are more pessimistic than older people not only about their own mortality risk but also about everyone else’s mortality risk.
Daniel Horowitz wrote a great article about this survey titled, New study: Millennials think their risk from COVID-19 is exponentially more than the true threat. He writes:
Perhaps the most destructive element of lockdown is the panic and fear that such severe measures help confirm, in this case, wrongly so, in the minds of the young and impressionable. As the paper concludes, “Experience has shown that communities faced with epidemics or other adverse events respond best and with the least anxiety when the normal social functioning of the community is least disrupted.” In other words, we need to flatten the fear.
I thought that survey was bad enough, but a different survey by Kekst CNC asking different questions revealed a simply astonishing figure: Americans over-estimated the TOTAL number of compatriots who have died from COVID-19 by 200-fold! When asked the question (in mid-July), “How many people in your country have died from the Coronavirus?”, Americans responded “9%,” which would be roughly 30,000,000 people, versus the actual number of 151,000. No wonder people are panicked (and wildly, wildly misinformed.)
Great, so we can at least agree on three points: 1) Society has lost its collective mind over a virus, and 2) younger people wildly overestimate the risk of dying from COVID-19, which creates a vicious cycle with Point #1, and 3) Americans have wildly overestimated how many people have died from COVID-19.
This is the third time I have written about the pandemic. My first and second blogs provide plenty of data and perspective. I think there are five bits of data that I’ve explored in the past that merit an update:
1. Infection Fatality Rate: The “IFR”, unlike the “Case Fatality Rate” that is more often quoted in the news, is the ACTUAL fatality rate of COVID-19. In order to accurately forecast the IFR, you need two bits of data: total deaths, and total people who have had the virus. The second data point is harder to find, because so many people are asymptomatic, but the most reliable data I have found is in this meta-analysis by Stanford’s Dr. John Ioannidis titled, The infection fatality rate of COVID-19 inferred from seroprevalence data. What does the paper conclude? A median IFR of 0.25%. It’s hard to make this point strongly enough: a virus with an IFR this low would never, ever merit the response we’ve seen from health authorities and elected officials. COVID-19 is hardly a “once in a century pandemic” as some try to say, it’s a strong flu bug, nothing more.
2. Death rates by age stratification. The best science I have seen showing IFR by age is this study titled Assesssing the Age Specificity of Infection Fatality Rates for COVID-19: Meta-Analysis & Public Policy Implications. Check out this chart:
I wish this chart broke the age down even further, particularly in the 0-10 or 0-20 age range, where the IFR is effectively zero. These facts are slowly making their way into the mainstream, and the paper concludes: “Age and fatality risk for COVID-19 are exponentially related. In non-technical terms, COVID-19 poses a very low risk for children and younger adults but is hazardous for middle-aged adults and extremely dangerous for elderly people.”
3. Herd Immunity Threshold. Since my previous blog post, when I wrote about Herd Immunity Threshold in detail, it’s becoming even more clear that the “H.I.T.” of COVID-19 is very likely in the 10-20% range, rather than the 60-70% range that was originally thought. It would be impossible to overstate the importance of this difference, because it supports exactly WHY COVID-19 has already reached herd immunity in most of Europe, and WHY we’re almost done here in the U.S., too. Here’s one new paper, Herd immunity thresholds for SARS-CoV-2 estimated from unfolding epidemics. Their conclusion:
Our inferences result in herd immunity thresholds around 10-20%…these findings have profound consequences for the governance of the current pandemic given that some populations may be close to achieving herd immunity despite being under more or less strict social distancing measures.
The conclusion that COVID-19’s H.I.T. is between 10-20% is gaining wide acceptance, and it’s being borne out in the real world as countries everywhere are watching deaths from COVID-19 simply dry up, as the virus runs out of new people to infect. The obvious explanation for WHY the H.I.T. for COVID-19 is far lower than thought is that many more of us are naturally immune to COVID-19, because our T-cells carry immunity based on the fact that we’ve all been exposed to many corona viruses, which is commonly called a cold. My favorite outspoken scientist on this issue is Oxford’s Dr. Sunetra Gupta, check out this interview with her titled, “We may already have herd immunity – an interview with Professor Sunetra Gupta.” A quote:
What I didn’t anticipate was that some of our responses to previous exposure to seasonal coronaviruses might actually protect us from infection. It’s one thing to get infected and not ill, but what the new studies are showing is that people are actually fighting off infection. So at an even more basic level, the pre-existing antibodies or T-cell responses against coronaviruses seem to protect against infection, not just the outcome of infection.
If you read one link in this whole blog post, I’d make it this interview with Dr. Gupta, it’s wide-ranging and she also explains how lockdowns not only don’t work (see next) but that countries and states that sealed themselves off—like New Zealand or Hawaii—are simply postponing their day of reckoning. Dr. Gupta and her team’s new paper, The impact of host resistance on cumulative mortality and the threshold of herd immunity for SARS-CoV-2, explores the issue of H.I.T. further:
These results help to explain the large degree of regional variation observed in seroprevalence and cumulative deaths and suggest that sufficient herd-immunity may already be in place to substantially mitigate a potential second wave.…Equally, seropositivity measures of 10-20% are entirely compatible with local levels of immunity having approached or even exceeded the HIT, in which case the risk and scale of resurgence is lower than currently perceived.
4. Lockdowns don’t work. Getting politicians involved in trying to fight the normal course of a viral illness will hopefully be seen my historians as one of the silliest things we ever chose to do. In simple terms, a virus is gonna be a virus. As Dr. Gupta explains, “The epidemic is an ecological relationship that we have to manage between ourselves and the virus. But instead, people are looking at it as a completely external thing.” Said differently, like every other virus, COVID-19 is here to stay. Lockdowns provide politicians with an “illusion of control” but the data is rolling in that they have been useless, and even The Lancet, one of the world’s most prestigious medical journals, has weighed in. Titled, A country level analysis measuring the impact of government actions, country preparedness and socioeconomic factors on COVID-19 mortality and related health outcomes, their conclusions are pretty stark, and depressing for those of us who have undergone lockdowns:
“Government actions such as border closures, full lockdowns, and a high rate of COVID-19 testing were not associated with statistically significant reductions in the number of critical cases or overall mortality.”
German scientists looked at the same topic just within the country of Germany and reached the same conclusion in this paper titled, Change points in the spread of COVID-19 question the effectiveness of nonpharmaceutical interventions in Germany. An excerpt:
A trend change of infections from exponential growth to decay was not induced by the “lockdown” measures but occurred earlier. Additional impacts of later NPIs cannot be clearly detected: Firstly, there is no significant effect with respect to infections that could be attributed to school and day-care closures. Secondly, effects which could be related to the contact ban a) do not appear with respect to all three indicators, b) differ in strength and tend towards lower impacts, and c) do not match the time the measure came into force. Thus, the necessity of the second (March 16-18) and the third bundle of interventions (March 23) is questionable…
All these American Governors threatening to resume lockdowns? Yes, there’s no science that supports anything they are threatening. A virus is going to be a virus, which leads me to the final piece of data before we look at the evidence that inspired the title of this piece, the evidence that the pandemic is OVER.
5. Viruses go up, and then down, and the death rate is the only reliable way to track them. A team at Oxford explains this way better than I ever can. In this post titled COVID-19: William Farr’s way out of the Pandemic, they explain how Farr, a UK epidemiologist from the mid-19th century, understood that all viruses follow a similar pattern, and that the slope of the death curve on the way up will roughly equal the slope on the way down, which means if you know when you have reached peak deaths, you have a very good idea of when the virus will be extinguished. As Farr wrote, “The death rate is a fact; anything beyond this is an inference.” The Oxford scientists write:
Once peak deaths have been reached we should be working on the assumption that the infection has already started falling in the same progressive steps. Using deaths as the proxy for falling infections facilitates the planning of the next steps for reopening those societies that are in lockdown.
I think there are two points about Farr’s Law that deserve further clarification:
In order to prove the virus is basically done, I’m going to be showing you death curves from all over the world. My death curves are based on country-specific reported COVID-19 deaths. This runs the risk that COVID-19 deaths are overstated because of the pressure in many places to classify any questionable death as a COVID-19 death. The proper way to measure the impact of a virus is to compare current year “all cause mortality” versus previous year “all cause mortality.” This is a far more accurate way to see IF COVID-19 impacted mortality, and the way Farr recommended doing it.
I missed something when I wrote my previous blog post. While Farr has been proven right, that viruses typically have the same death slope on the way up and down, I missed the wisdom of another British scientist, Dr. Edgar Hope Simpson, who explained that the course of a virus is DIFFERENT in terms of both timing and its slope, based on WHERE in the world you live, by latitude. Whether driven by solar radiation or Vitamin D levels, Hope-Simpson long ago predicted exactly what happened in California, Arizona, Texas, and Florida in the last month: COVID-19 came later, on a lower death curve, to U.S. states that sit at or below the 35th parallel (see chart from his book that shows this visually). Hope-Simpson’s seminal work is a book titled The Transmission of Epidemic Influenza, and why our public health authorities never discuss the fact that seasonal viruses hit our lower latitudes later in the year is beyond me. The U.S. is unique, relative to Western Europe, because our geography is so vast. In simple terms, our northern states are done with their death curves, and our southern states are almost there. Read on.
It’s over when the death curve says it’s over
Now we get to the fun part: celebrating that the COVID-19 pandemic is over in most Northern countries and passed the peak in most Southern countries. In the United States, we actually have two distinct death curves, roughly divided along the 35th parallel. The Northern states are done, and the Southern states are almost done. I’ll start with the rest of the world, and finish with the U.S. Please note that ALL the death curve charts I’m using come from Worldometers, so you can go see the exact same ones for yourself. Are they imperfect? Yes. But, they are the best we have. Will I give you an actual date for the U.S.? Yes, I will.
Europe
Here are the death curves, from Worldometers, for six European countries. It’s self-explanatory, so I won’t belabor the point. To state the obvious: Sweden had no lockdown. Amongst the other five countries, the choice for HOW to lockdown varied widely. Knowing those simple facts and seeing these charts, if you still think lockdowns are important in the management of a seasonal virus, I can’t help you. In Western Europe, IT’S OVER, and it had nothing to do with how governments, or the populace, behaved. A virus does what a virus does.
U.S. Northern States
Using the same data from Worldometers, it’s also over in the northern states. Note that in certain states, the impact from COVID-19 is so tiny, the death curves aren’t even curves, so I’m focusing on larger population states that actually have a curve. I looked at New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Illinois, Indiana, and Michigan.
In the Northern U.S states, IT’S OVER, and it had nothing to do with how governments, or the populace, behaved. A virus does what a virus does.
U.S. Southern States
This quote from Dr. Gupta of Oxford explains the mistake the press keeps making by treating the U.S. so homogeneously:
When you think of the US as a whole, you’re missing the fact that the epidemic appears to be over in the north east and growing in the south west. Why would you put them together? There’s no reason to lump a rise in cases in Arizona with everything else.
This is the most confusing part of predicting when the COVID-19 pandemic will be over in the United States. Take a look at the TOTAL U.S. death curve when I wrote my last blog post, and where it is today:
What happened? Seasonal viral patterns of southern latitude states. Well, luckily for me, some smart and enterprising analysts graphed the U.S. death curve, but did something different, they separated the states by using the division of the 35th parallel, basically turning us into two separate countries. They had to make some judgments, so ALL of California is in the Southern number, and here’s how the death curves looks:
This is an excellent quick video that explains this seasonal dynamic:
There’s plenty of data showing that the southern states are all past their peak. Here’s deaths in Florida, sorted by date of death, the curve is clear:

consciouslifenews--2020-08-04--Big Pharma Achieves Total Legal Immunity for Coronavirus Vaccines; Even as Vaccine Injections will b

Big Pharma Achieves Total Legal Immunity for Coronavirus Vaccines; Even as Vaccine Injections will be FORCED onto Billions of People | Health Ranger

We have now arrived at the ultimate moneymaking scam for Big Pharma , a corrupt , criminal industry that ’ s going to great lengths to pressure Big Tech to censor all speech that doesn ’ t earn them more profits .
Now , vaccine manufacturers like AstraZeneca are openly bragging about how they ’ ve achieved absolute legal immunity from all side effects caused by coronavirus vaccines , even as “ Dr .
Evil ” Fauci and other pawns of the vaccine industry are pushing for mandatory vaccine injections for billions of people .
You have no right to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but you also have no right to sue if their product turns out to be faulty and causes injury or harm .
This is now the status quo of the lawless , anti-human vaccine industry and all its corrupt collaborators such as Big Tech , Big Media , medical schools and complicit medical journals .
“ AstraZeneca has been granted protection from future product liability claims related to its COVID-19 vaccine hopeful by most of the countries with which it has struck supply agreements , ” reports Reuters .
“ The United States… @ @ @ @ @ @ @ claims from products that help control a public-health crises in the form of the 2005 Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness , or PREP Act.
” The vaccine will be forced upon you , in other words , regardless of its safety status .
Long-term trials are being completely skipped .
Animals trials have been largely abandoned .
And Moderna , the most prominent vaccine manufacturer on the covid-19 scene , has publicly admitted that 100 % of clinical trial subjects experienced negative side effects in the high dose group , during the second @ @ @ @ @ @ @ now publicly stating that “ multiple doses ” of coronavirus vaccines will need to be forced on people around the world , yet we already see that even during the second dose — not the mention third or fourth doses — side effects hit every single person , indicating they get cumulatively worse with an incremental number of doses .
Greed-driven vaccine manufacturers have no incentive to make coronavirus vaccines safe The utter lack of financial liability means that vaccine manufacturers have no incentive to follow quality control measures .
Since they can @ @ @ @ @ @ @ vaccine products cause injury or death , there ’ s no incentive to make their vaccines safe during manufacturing .
Instead , the priority is to everything into production as quickly as possible in order to maximize profits and be among the first to market .
Adding to the conspiracy , tech giants like Google , Facebook and Twitter will of course censor all reports of vaccine injuries , making it nearly impossible for anyone to lodge an honest online complaint about vaccine safety .
Here ’ s how that will work : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dangerous vaccines to be “ safe , ” then anyone who questions that will be censored by the tech giants for “ not following CDC guidelines ” or some similar excuse .
Thus , companies like Moderna , Pfizer , Astrazeneca or Bayer could produce flat-out vaccines that kill millions of people , and there is no mechanism in society by which any whistleblower could raise the alarm or bring one of the vaccine manufacturers to court .
Due process has just been obliterated .
You have no right to any trial .

We have now arrived at the ultimate moneymaking scam for Big Pharma, a corrupt, criminal industry that’s going to great lengths to pressure Big Tech to censor all speech that doesn’t earn them more profits. Now, vaccine manufacturers like AstraZeneca are openly bragging about how they’ve achieved absolute legal immunity from all side effects caused by coronavirus vaccines, even as “Dr. Evil” Fauci and other pawns of the vaccine industry are pushing for mandatory vaccine injections for billions of people.
You have no right to say no, in other words, but you also have no right to sue if their product turns out to be faulty and causes injury or harm.
This is now the status quo of the lawless, anti-human vaccine industry and all its corrupt collaborators such as Big Tech, Big Media, medical schools and complicit medical journals.
“AstraZeneca has been granted protection from future product liability claims related to its COVID-19 vaccine hopeful by most of the countries with which it has struck supply agreements,” reports Reuters. “The United States… already has a law to exclude tort claims from products that help control a public-health crises in the form of the 2005 Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness, or PREP Act.”
The vaccine will be forced upon you, in other words, regardless of its safety status. Long-term trials are being completely skipped. Animals trials have been largely abandoned. And Moderna, the most prominent vaccine manufacturer on the covid-19 scene, has publicly admitted that 100% of clinical trial subjects experienced negative side effects in the high dose group, during the second round of injections.
Bill Gates is now publicly stating that “multiple doses” of coronavirus vaccines will need to be forced on people around the world, yet we already see that even during the second dose — not the mention third or fourth doses — side effects hit every single person, indicating they get cumulatively worse with an incremental number of doses.
Greed-driven vaccine manufacturers have no incentive to make coronavirus vaccines safe
The utter lack of financial liability means that vaccine manufacturers have no incentive to follow quality control measures. Since they can’t be sued when their faulty vaccine products cause injury or death, there’s no incentive to make their vaccines safe during manufacturing. Instead, the priority is to rush everything into production as quickly as possible in order to maximize profits and be among the first to market.
Adding to the conspiracy, tech giants like Google, Facebook and Twitter will of course censor all reports of vaccine injuries, making it nearly impossible for anyone to lodge an honest online complaint about vaccine safety.
Here’s how that will work: The CDC will declare the faulty, dangerous vaccines to be “safe,” then anyone who questions that will be censored by the tech giants for “not following CDC guidelines” or some similar excuse.
Thus, companies like Moderna, Pfizer, Astrazeneca or Bayer could produce flat-out lethal vaccines that kill millions of people, and there is no mechanism in society by which any whistleblower could raise the alarm or bring one of the vaccine manufacturers to court.
Due process has just been obliterated. You have no right to any trial. You have no right to say no. You must comply or lose your job, and you might in fact be denied access to public transportation or even public shopping spaces.
You are now living in a medical police state, run by Big Pharma tyrants and junk science quacks who pretend to be the high priests of “truth.” All those who oppose them will be silenced, and you will be injected against your will with a toxic cocktail of experimental medicine that might just kill you. If you complain, you will be de-platformed. If you sue, your case will be thrown out. If you die, your death will be recorded as a “covid-19” death in order to push more justification for more vaccines.
On top of all that, the vaccines probably won’t even work.
YOU will have to pay all the medical costs stemming from vaccine injuries
By achieving absolute legal immunity for unsafe, rushed, experimental vaccines, the vaccine drug giants have transferred all financial risk to you, the patient.
You will have to bear all the hospitalization costs, funeral costs and lifelong injury costs associated with their toxic vaccines. They have no liability whatsoever.
This arrangement — essentially U.S. Congress-approved collusion between Big Pharma and rich, elite lawmakers who accept campaign contributions from the industry — is outrageous. It strips the people of due process rights while shifting cost burdens from Big Pharma to the very people who are being forcibly injected against their wishes.
You are forced to take the shot, in other words, and then forced to pay for the injuries caused by the shot. Big Pharma gets away scot-free, pocking all the profits while facing none of the financial liability for their dangerous, untested vaccine cocktails.
The CDC, FDA and WHO are all in on the scam, of course, as is the corporate media, medical journals and Big Tech. That’s because they all get kickbacks from Big Pharma. The money flows like water as millions of people face injuries or death from an unsafe, unproven vaccine medical experiment that clearly violates Nuremberg principles abolishing medical experiments on human beings.
It’s no wonder so many Americans are now publicly asserting that they will defend their lives against any vaccine assault, which is technically an assault with a deadly weapon.
If the government forces you to be injected with something, it’s insane to simultaneously claim that YOU have to bear the financial burden stemming from injury or death
Obviously, if the government forces some medical intervention upon you, depriving you of the choice to say no, they can’t simultaneously force you pay the medical costs and cover the lost work income stemming from injury caused by those very same medical interventions. This is the government demanding vaccine victims cover the product liability costs that should be covered by the manufacturer.
Imagine if the government forced all Americans to buy Ford Pinto cars, and then granted Ford total immunity from any liability related to those cars exploding. That would be the government forcing you to subject yourself to risk of real harm from a faulty product (the Pintos exploded when lightly tapped from the rear) while simultaneously forcing you to cover the costs of injury and hospitalization stemming from the faulty product itself.
That’s insane. It’s rigged. It is unjust, and it deprives Americans of their basic constitutional rights. Yet it’s exactly what Congress has put in place for vaccine manufacturers, who have a long, dark history of science fraud, criminal price fixing, rigging clinical trials and lying to government regulators.
In fact, it’s difficult to find an industry run by more criminal-minded fraudsters than the vaccine industry, which routinely lies and deceives the U.S. public, falsely claiming that vaccines harm no one even as the U.S. government itself releases quarterly statistics detailing an astonishing number of people (mostly children) who are maimed, hospitalized and killed by vaccines.

The somber announcement came during July 13 , 2020 , press conference ( above ) .
This , despite the fact that the WHO 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on face mask use states there 's no direct evidence that universal masking of healthy people is an effective intervention against respiratory illnesses .
What 's more , people are being urged to use cloth masks or bandanas ( ostensibly to prevent shortages among health care staff ) , none of which conform to any kind of quality standards , and according to what little scientific evidence is available to have been shown to provide only about half of what little protection you may get from a surgical mask .

They can not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is in the air itself .
Additionally , many N95 masks only protect the wearer , as they have exhalation ports that allow you to exhale unfiltered air .
Lab testing6 has shown 3M surgical masks can block up to 75 % of particles measuring between 0.02 microns and 1 micron , while cloth masks block between 30 % and 60 % of respiratory particles of this size .
As noted in the WHO 's guidance memo:7 Curiously , while cloth masks and face coverings are far less effective for blocking respiratory droplets @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nonmedical masks “ should only be considered for source control ( used by infected persons ) in community settings and not for prevention.
” 8 CDC Policy Review Found No Evidence of Usefulness Either A policy review paper9 published in Emerging Infectious Diseases in May 2020 — the Center for Disease Control and Prevention 's own journal — has also reviewed “ the evidence base on the effectiveness of nonpharmaceutical personal protective measures … in non-healthcare settings , ” and they too found no evidence of benefit : Pages 970 to 972 of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Mistakes Undermine the Protection Masks May Provide If and when you do use a mask , you have to follow proper protocols , or else you can nullify what little protection they do offer against potentially infectious respiratory droplets .

“ If this happens , the mask should be safely removed and replaced ; and hand hygiene performed ” • @ @ @ @ @ @ @ patient on contact/droplet precautions for other pathogens The memo also points out that “ Staff who do not work in clinical areas do not need to use a medical mask during routine activities ( e.g.

Broward County , Florida , has gone so far as to issue an emergency order12 mandating masks to be worn inside your @ @ @ @ @ @ @ administrative hospital staff are n't even advised to wear them at work ?
In summary , it is likely that masks are not entirely useless in all circumstances .
However , the literature rather strongly suggests the usefulness of masks depends on a significant number of factors — type , fit , length of use , purpose , and circumstances — which are effectively impossible to account for in public universal-masking policies .

Benefits of Mask Wearing Do Not Include Infection Control Despite the lack of scientific evidence showing masks do much of anything to prevent the spread of viral infections , the WHO still manages to make a case for universal mask-wearing .
The “ potential benefits ” listed , however , have little to do with health , and much more to do with learning submission .
According to the WHO , the potential benefits of mask-wearing include:13 • “ Reduced potential stigmatization @ @ @ @ @ @ @ others or of people caring for COVID-19 patients in nonclinical settings ” — In other words , we should all wear masks to make people caring for COVID-19 patients feel more accepted as if that 's actually a significant problem .
• “ Making people feel they can play a role in contributing to stopping the spread of the virus ” — I.e.
, masks , while providing a false sense of security , make people feel like they 're “ doing something ” to help .
Put another way , it makes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ • “ Reminding people to be compliant with other measures ” — In other words , mask-wearing is a sign of overall compliance .
• “ Potential social and economic benefits ” — This is perhaps the most ludicrously strained reason of all .

Fabric masks can also be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ public acceptance of protection measures in general.
” The WHO also lists a number of potential harms and risks of mask-wearing , which “ should be carefully taken into account when adopting this approach of targeted continuous medical mask use.
” These include:14 • Self-contamination due to the manipulation of the mask by contaminated hands or not changing the mask when wet , soiled or damaged • General discomfort , as well as facial skin lesions , irritant dermatitis or worsening acne • A false sense of security that may reduce adherence to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hand hygiene • Disadvantages for or difficulty wearing them by specific vulnerable populations such as those with mental health disorders , developmental disabilities , the deaf and hard of hearing community , and children • Difficulty wearing them in hot and humid environments Aside from these , several people have demonstrated that masks can rapidly result in the buildup of toxic carbon dioxide , which can have a markedly detrimental impact on health .
In one video , a science teacher tried to evade YouTube censorship by saying children should wear face masks @ @ @ @ @ @ @ handwritten signs informing viewers the tactic was for censorship evasion , and to pay attention to the carbon dioxide metering results , which show carbon dioxide levels behind the mask shoot up above 10,000 parts per million ( ppm ) after just 10 breaths .
After garnering several hundred thousand views , the video was removed for “ violating YouTube community guidelines.
” Del Bigtree of The Highwire has performed an identical demonstration15 ( see bitchute video below ) .
With an N95 mask on , the carbon dioxide level spikes above 8,480 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , OSHA warns that “ toxicity or oxygen deprivation could occur.
” Carbon dioxide levels between 2,000 ppm and 5,000 ppm are associated with headaches , sleepiness , poor concentration , loss of attention , increased heart rate , and slight nausea .
The maximum permissible daily exposure limit is 5,000 ppm .

PPE Waste Is Becoming an Environmental Hazard Last but not least , environmentalists are now warning that personal protective equipment ( PPE ) such as medical face masks may turn into a devastating environmental problem .
As reported by The Guardian , June 8 , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bombarded with mainstream media propaganda that seeks to convince you that masks are necessary to prevent the spread of COVID-19 .
So , it is entirely understandable that you would want everyone to wear masks because you believe they will save lives .
However , if you carefully evaluate the evidence , independent of the mainstream narrative , it is likely you will conclude that this recommendation has nothing to do with decreasing the spread of the virus but more to indoctrinate you into submission .
Most objections to mask-wearing requirements are not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the mandate , and well-documented consequences such as oxygen deprivation should give anybody pause when considering a legal requirement of wearing masks in public .
We already see that most people wear masks in public regardless of mandates.20 But it is entirely irresponsible and unethical for governments to mandate such a practice on anybody .
In my upcoming interview with Patrick Wood , he provides compelling evidence that this has been a carefully crafted technocratic strategy that has been in place for the last 50 years or so .

While masks do not prevent the spread of viral infections, the WHO still makes a case for universal mask-wearing, citing benefits such as reduced stigmatization of people caring for COVID-19 patients in nonclinical settings, making people feel like they’re doing something to help, serving as a reminder to be compliant with other measures, and economic benefits for people who can sew homemade masks
According to the World Health Organization’s June 5, 2020, guidance on face mask use, there’s no direct evidence that universal masking of healthy people is an effective intervention against respiratory illnesses
According to the director-general of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, life will not be returning to your old normal anytime soon. What's more, things will only get worse unless the public follows health advice such as wearing masks and social distancing. The somber announcement came during July 13, 2020, press conference (above).
This, despite the fact that the WHO's June 5, 2020, guidance memo1 on face mask use states there's no direct evidence that universal masking of healthy people is an effective intervention against respiratory illnesses.
What's more, people are being urged to use cloth masks or bandanas (ostensibly to prevent shortages among health care staff), none of which conform to any kind of quality standards, and according to what little scientific evidence is available to have been shown to provide only about half of what little protection you may get from a surgical mask.
No Direct Evidence to Support Universal Mask Usage
SARS-CoV-2 is a beta-coronavirus with a diameter between 60 nanometers (nm) and 140 nm, or 0.06 to 0.14 microns (micrometers).2 This is about half the size of most viruses, which tend to measure between 0.02 microns to 0.3 microns.3
Virus-laden saliva or respiratory droplets expelled when talking or coughing measure between 5 and 10 microns,4 and it is these droplets that surgical masks and respirators can block.
At present, there is no direct evidence (from studies on COVID- 19 and in healthy people in the community) on the effectiveness of universal masking of healthy people in the community to prevent infection with respiratory viruses, including COVID-19.
For example, N95 masks can filter particles as small as 0.3 microns,5 so they may prevent a majority of respiratory droplets from escaping. They cannot block aerosolized viruses, however, that is in the air itself. Additionally, many N95 masks only protect the wearer, as they have exhalation ports that allow you to exhale unfiltered air.
Lab testing6 has shown 3M surgical masks can block up to 75% of particles measuring between 0.02 microns and 1 micron, while cloth masks block between 30% and 60% of respiratory particles of this size. As noted in the WHO's guidance memo:7
“Meta-analyses in systematic literature reviews have reported that the use of N95 respirators compared with the use of medical masks is not associated with any statistically significant lower risk of the clinical respiratory illness outcomes or laboratory-confirmed influenza or viral infections …
The use of cloth masks (referred to as fabric masks in this document) as an alternative to medical masks is not considered appropriate for protection of health workers based on limited available evidence …
At present, there is no direct evidence (from studies on COVID- 19 and in healthy people in the community) on the effectiveness of universal masking of healthy people in the community to prevent infection with respiratory viruses, including COVID-19.”
Curiously, while cloth masks and face coverings are far less effective for blocking respiratory droplets, the WHO recommends that cloth or nonmedical masks “should only be considered for source control (used by infected persons) in community settings and not for prevention.”8
CDC Policy Review Found No Evidence of Usefulness Either
A policy review paper9 published in Emerging Infectious Diseases in May 2020 — the Center for Disease Control and Prevention's own journal — has also reviewed “the evidence base on the effectiveness of nonpharmaceutical personal protective measures … in non-healthcare settings,” and they too found no evidence of benefit:
“Although mechanistic studies support the potential effect of hand hygiene or face masks, evidence from 14 randomized controlled trials of these measures did not support a substantial effect on transmission of laboratory-confirmed influenza.”
Pages 970 to 972 of the review include the following quotes:10
“In our systematic review, we identified 10 RCTs [randomized controlled trials] that reported estimates of the effectiveness of face masks in reducing laboratory-confirmed influenza virus infections in the community from literature published during 1946–July 27, 2018. In pooled analysis, we found no significant reduction in influenza transmission with the use of face masks …
Disposable medical masks (also known as surgical masks) are loose-fitting devices that were designed to be worn by medical personnel to protect accidental contamination of patient wounds, and to protect the wearer against splashes or sprays of bodily fluids …
There is limited evidence for their effectiveness in preventing influenza virus transmission either when worn by the infected person for source control or when worn by uninfected persons to reduce exposure.
Our systematic review found no significant effect of face masks on transmission of laboratory-confirmed influenza … In this review, we did not find evidence to support a protective effect of personal protective measures or environmental measures in reducing influenza transmission.”
These Mistakes Undermine the Protection Masks May Provide
If and when you do use a mask, you have to follow proper protocols, or else you can nullify what little protection they do offer against potentially infectious respiratory droplets. As detailed in WHO's guidance memo, you need to make sure your medical mask is:11
Changed when wet, soiled or damaged
Untouched. Do not adjust or displace it from your face for any reason. “If this happens, the mask should be safely removed and replaced; and hand hygiene performed”
Discarded and changed after caring for any patient on contact/droplet precautions for other pathogens
The memo also points out that “Staff who do not work in clinical areas do not need to use a medical mask during routine activities (e.g., administrative staff).” Now, if administrative hospital staff does not need to wear masks, why would healthy individuals need to wear them when walking around, especially in open-air areas?
Broward County, Florida, has gone so far as to issue an emergency order12 mandating masks to be worn inside your own residence. But why, if administrative hospital staff aren't even advised to wear them at work?
In summary, it is likely that masks are not entirely useless in all circumstances. However, the literature rather strongly suggests the usefulness of masks depends on a significant number of factors — type, fit, length of use, purpose, and circumstances — which are effectively impossible to account for in public universal-masking policies.
The science, contrary to the ignorant platitudes we are bombarded with, has NOT proven that universal masking is effective for viral containment, and has instead provided substantial grounds for skepticism of such a policy.
Benefits of Mask Wearing Do Not Include Infection Control
Despite the lack of scientific evidence showing masks do much of anything to prevent the spread of viral infections, the WHO still manages to make a case for universal mask-wearing. The “potential benefits” listed, however, have little to do with health, and much more to do with learning submission. According to the WHO, the potential benefits of mask-wearing include:13
•“Reduced potential stigmatization of individuals wearing masks to prevent infecting others or of people caring for COVID-19 patients in nonclinical settings” — In other words, we should all wear masks to make people caring for COVID-19 patients feel more accepted as if that's actually a significant problem. •“Making people feel they can play a role in contributing to stopping the spread of the virus” — I.e., masks, while providing a false sense of security, make people feel like they're “doing something” to help. Put another way, it makes people feel virtuous and “good.” •“Reminding people to be compliant with other measures” — In other words, mask-wearing is a sign of overall compliance. •“Potential social and economic benefits” — This is perhaps the most ludicrously strained reason of all. According to the WHO: “Encouraging the public to create their own fabric masks may promote individual enterprise and community integration … The production of non-medical masks may offer a source of income for those able to manufacture masks within their communities. Fabric masks can also be a form of cultural expression, encouraging public acceptance of protection measures in general.”
Potential Harms and Risks of Mask Wearing
The WHO also lists a number of potential harms and risks of mask-wearing, which “should be carefully taken into account when adopting this approach of targeted continuous medical mask use.” These include:14
Self-contamination due to the manipulation of the mask by contaminated hands or not changing the mask when wet, soiled or damaged
General discomfort, as well as facial skin lesions, irritant dermatitis or worsening acne
A false sense of security that may reduce adherence to other well recognized preventive measures such as hand hygiene
Disadvantages for or difficulty wearing them by specific vulnerable populations such as those with mental health disorders, developmental disabilities, the deaf and hard of hearing community, and children
Difficulty wearing them in hot and humid environments
Aside from these, several people have demonstrated that masks can rapidly result in the buildup of toxic carbon dioxide, which can have a markedly detrimental impact on health.
In one video, a science teacher tried to evade YouTube censorship by saying children should wear face masks to school — all while holding up handwritten signs informing viewers the tactic was for censorship evasion, and to pay attention to the carbon dioxide metering results, which show carbon dioxide levels behind the mask shoot up above 10,000 parts per million (ppm) after just 10 breaths.
After garnering several hundred thousand views, the video was removed for “violating YouTube community guidelines.”
Del Bigtree of The Highwire has performed an identical demonstration15 (see bitchute video below). With an N95 mask on, the carbon dioxide level spikes above 8,480 ppm within seconds. Above 5,000 ppm, OSHA warns that “toxicity or oxygen deprivation could occur.”
Carbon dioxide levels between 2,000 ppm and 5,000 ppm are associated with headaches, sleepiness, poor concentration, loss of attention, increased heart rate, and slight nausea. The maximum permissible daily exposure limit is 5,000 ppm.
Wearing a standard surgical mask, carbon dioxide levels again reached above 8,000 ppm, although it took longer. Shockingly, wearing a cloth bandana resulted in carbon dioxide buildup near the nose and mouth exceeding 8,000 ppm.
Even wearing a clear plastic face shield (without a mask) resulted in carbon dioxide levels in the 1,500-ppm range, which is associated with drowsiness and poor air quality. The video at the top of this section also addresses many of the potential harms and risks of masks wearing.
Toxic ingredients that can worsen breathing problems are yet another potential hazard of certain masks. For example, surgical masks are made of plastics like polypropylene, known asthma trigger.16
The 2018 study,17,18 “Hypoxia Downregulates Protein S Expression,” also describes how hypoxia (low oxygen concentration) increases your risk of blood clots by reducing protein S, which is a natural anticoagulant. Wearing a mask, especially for long periods of time, may reduce your oxygen concentration, and considering COVID-19 is already associated with abnormal blood clotting, inducing hypoxia may be ill-advised.
PPE Waste Is Becoming an Environmental Hazard
Last but not least, environmentalists are now warning that personal protective equipment (PPE) such as medical face masks may turn into a devastating environmental problem. As reported by The Guardian, June 8, 2020:19
“The French non-profit Opération Mer Propre, whose activities include regularly picking up litter along the Côte d'Azur, began sounding the alarm late last month.
Divers had found what Joffrey Peltier of the organization described as ‘COVID waste' — dozens of gloves, masks and bottles of hand sanitizer beneath the waves of the Mediterranean, mixed in with the usual litter of disposable cups and aluminum cans … ‘It's the promise of pollution to come if nothing is done,' said Peltier.
In France alone, authorities have ordered two billion disposable masks, said Laurent Lombard of Opération Mer Propre. ‘Knowing that … soon we'll run the risk of having more masks than jellyfish in the Mediterranean,' he wrote on social media alongside video of a dive showing algae-entangled masks and soiled gloves in the sea near Antibes.
The group hopes the images will prompt people to embrace reusable masks and swap latex gloves for more frequent handwashing. ‘With all the alternatives, plastic isn't the solution to protect us from COVID. That's the message,' said Peltier.”
Consider Peaceful Civil Disobedience
Clearly, most people are being bombarded with mainstream media propaganda that seeks to convince you that masks are necessary to prevent the spread of COVID-19. So, it is entirely understandable that you would want everyone to wear masks because you believe they will save lives.
However, if you carefully evaluate the evidence, independent of the mainstream narrative, it is likely you will conclude that this recommendation has nothing to do with decreasing the spread of the virus but more to indoctrinate you into submission.
Most objections to mask-wearing requirements are not to the masks themselves, but to the mandate, and well-documented consequences such as oxygen deprivation should give anybody pause when considering a legal requirement of wearing masks in public. We already see that most people wear masks in public regardless of mandates.20 But it is entirely irresponsible and unethical for governments to mandate such a practice on anybody.
In my upcoming interview with Patrick Wood, he provides compelling evidence that this has been a carefully crafted technocratic strategy that has been in place for the last 50 years or so. By submitting to these orders, we are likely setting the stage for inevitable mandatory vaccinations. If you're still on the fence, please watch my upcoming interview with Wood, embedded above for your convenience, and consider not complying with mask mandates.
