lewrockwell--2020-04-28--What We Give Up When We Compliantly Lockdown: A Treatise on Choosing To Be Free

I had occasion to mind-wander with one of my friends .
We asked ourselves the question : “ What have we lost so far ?
” The setting was the breakfast room .
We were sitting at the opposite ends of the table , for distancing effect .
Imagine Orville & Wilbur Wright asking themselves , wouldn ’ t it be wonderful if we could build something that could fly ?
Imagine Wilbur replies to Orville : “ we can ’ t do it .
One of us might die .
Imagine how mom would feel.

Fear Itself : The Cause ... Gordon , Ann Best Price : $ 23.69 Buy New $ 16.90 They are laying off nurses because of your fear you might get the virus .
Hospitals are being closed for the public ’ s the fear of getting “ coronavirused.

Many may not reopen .
The very safety net which our society depends upon so we can exercise the freedom to drive cars and fly in airplanes in relative safety is vanishing .
The very institutions and doctors that give us a sense of safety in our society are already gone , to produce a less-safe , not a more-safe country .
We may not have realized where this self-confinement was heading because , in the beginning , it was voluntary , then morphed into mandatory .
We were compliant , to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ enough to see our freedoms were being taken away because of some intentionally exaggerated statistics that are now revealed to be scare tactics .
American news media is obsessed overstating the morality numbers to gain audience .
Government authorities are tossing a lot of alarming numbers at us .
Eighty-percent of the reported deaths are caused by other co-morbid diseases .
Most of these people were headed for their deathbed within days regardless of the virus .
Authorities say 53,000 have succumbed to COVID-19 coronavirus infections ( 4/25/2020 ) , yet 42,400 of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cancer , heart disease , diabetes ) , not the coronavirus , and only 10,600 were actually verified by ( flawed ) lab testing , and even among these , there were a lot of false positives .
The patients were sick , but succumbed to some other bacterium or virus .
The coronavirus show has become a Las Vegas stage trick .
We are talking about no more than a handful of deaths among 100,000 people .
According to these odds , there are 4115 cities under 100,000 in the U.S. and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to COVID-19 in any of these individual cities and towns , that is how small the risk is .
This is a smaller risk than the overstated death numbers issued by the CDC for a normal flu season .
The Science of Fear : W ... Gardner , Daniel Best Price : $ 1.94 Buy New $ 24.95 When coronavirus deaths rose steeply , suddenly there was a sharp corresponding decline in pneumonia deaths .
That wasn ’ t a body count it was a paperwork adjustment .
All that was being done @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pneumonia deaths that occur each year onto the column that read coronavirus-related deaths .
This is not a thinking man ’ s game .
It is a life-and-death emotional decision .
Our overseers know the three words that will strike fear in your soul : “ Millions will die.
” That phrase is echoed on TV news .
If I attempt to reason with those who are now fearfully holed up in their homes , my arguments herein will fall flat .
If I show the masses that health authorities are playing fast @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is more likely to cause people to feel they have been duped .
You will never be free of fear until you turn off the television .
It is the devil ’ s tool .
Fear makes strangers of people who would be friends .
–Shirley Maclaine • Now we are afraid of visiting family .

• In some cases , we are afraid of even taking a walk .

What if the plane never crashed ?
Then you really lived !
We are so afraid of dying , we stop living .
Is living in fear helping or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ?
Are you hurting yourself ?
What are the chances of blood clots from inactivity ?
In an interdependent world , your fear is causing people to lose their jobs , lose their homes , our cities and towns to go bankrupt .
It is your inability to realize the full outcome of your unfailing agreeableness to lockdown that is causing the collapse of our society .
It is a self-fulfilling prophecy .
The church is saying , “ don ’ t be afraid.
” Pastors are teaching that now .
The Lord @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The church shepherds contradict themselves because they are actually promoting the fear of what we don ’ t want the people to face .
“ Fear not , but stay home.
” That is what preachers are saying .
Isn ’ t the admonition “ not to fear ” an admonition to go , that despite your fear , you are going to take the risk ?
Jesus says fear not .
Whenever God said “ fear not ” He followed it with risk .
Fear not , go in to battle .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
What we hear today is “ fear not , but be safe.
” Take precautions .
Follow CDC guidelines .
We stopped listening to the voice of God and started listening to the voice of experts .
The experts say , be safe , fear the imagined virus .
Heed the words of the virologist .
The church is going along with it .
In order to conquer life , you have to face death .

The day may come when you go to church and the priest is inside a glass case and , with a gloved hand , places your communion wafer in a slot and it will be dispensed like a gum ball machine .

It is our souls that need cleansed .
We are sending the wrong message .
And if we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we have every other hidden virus , then biologically we will build the immunities to beat it .

You have to hand wrestle with the virus to beat it .
Now that we have retreated into our homes , it appears to be a frightening thing just to cross a crosswalk .

Millions of high-risk Americans , in particular diabetics , the obese , the very young and very old , don ’ t develop adequate antibodies to ANY pathogenic germ whether these microbes are transferred via vaccination needle or environmentally from others .

If you recall nothing else in this report it is that you may transmit viral particles to others but they won ’ t necessarily exhibit symptoms of illness unless their immune system isn ’ t up to par .

Do you see where this kind of thinking is going ?
Now , at the barber ’ s house , there is no food in the refrigerator .

Public health authorities have given us the tacit choice of standing in foodbank lines or breaking lockdown and infecting others who may die .
But then the foodbank line is a potential hazard , right ?

Here is what happened when a group of people didn ’ t social distance : Free market enterprise at the end of a freeway offramp The people who were selling oranges at the freeway offramp are now selling masks they sewed together at home .
Private enterprise crossed up the new regulations because , by selling masks in the open and without a permit , they were helping others comply with the new rules .
Who would dare @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are the only ones exempt from social distancing .
The homeless are the only ones who are exempt from CDC guidelines .
Which says , either our overseers don ’ t really care about the homeless or they really don ’ t think the virus is a threat .
And what does this say about how much they care about you ?
The longer you stay home the longer you imperil the lives of others .
By collectively choosing to fear we have multiplied the harm .
When will you break ranks ?
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ else to make the first move .
The population is gripped by paralysis .
Only when everybody else is breaking out from the lockdown will we join the crowd .
We are afraid to ask others if they are interested in breaking ranks .
At what point would you venture to inquire of your friends and loved ones , when will you chose to buck authority and opt for liberty ?
There is such a day .
Why wait and have others endure the agony any longer ?
When you consider what we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this is over ( if it ever is over ) , will you honestly be able to say it was worth it ?
When you consider what was at stake , was it worth it ?
Do the thing we fear , and death of fear is certain .

We may not have realized where this self-confinement was heading because, in the beginning, it was voluntary, then morphed into mandatory. We were compliant, to a fault.

The pungent cure
Throughout history has there been a pathogen that garlic didn’t stand up to? The Black Death, the Bubonic plague, anthrax, subdued by garlic. Garlic vanquishes influenza, herpes and coxsackie viruses, even coronavirus. You’ve heard of antibiotic resistance, but not garlic resistance. Selenium in garlic thwarts viral mutations.

Fear is a reaction. Courage is a decision.
– Winston S. Churchill
The people who are telling us to stay home are cowards, and they want us to be cowards.
Our politicians are telling us to live in fear.
Andrew Cuomo: “I need you to stay home because the virus may kill ME.”
Moral choice: the essence of man
Yes, there are some benefits to being quarantined in our homes. Yes, if we lock-down everybody there will be little crime, there will be few roadway accidents, less rape, robbery, etc. Even less pollution.
But with freedom also comes the choice to do wrong. Robots have no choice, they are amoral. Humans are moral beings who must makes choices, which is what this report is all about.
This is the price of freedom, that some will choose to do wrong. Prisons prove that point.
Ironically, if indoor lock-down was practiced by parents they would be up for child abuse for their children never having to be allowed to go outside. These are the contradictions we now live with.
Masked store robbers were always compliant. Give that a thought.
The dollars and sense of lockdown
Some university-based experts came up with a report showing the lockdown has saved $5.2 trillion so far. If I asked your grandmother if she would accept a million dollars for not going to see her granddaughter in the school Christmas play, what answer do you think you would get? There are some things that ARE priceless, at least according to MasterCard.
Barbers, who rely on cash payments to survive, are told paper money may carry the virus and are forced to accept credit cards and have, as a result, compliantly closed their shops and stayed at home. Just think how much disease they must have spread? Now your barber will be wearing a mask and wearing gloves, or get sued. Do you see where this kind of thinking is going?
Now, at the barber’s house, there is no food in the refrigerator. What now? Public health authorities have given us the tacit choice of standing in foodbank lines or breaking lockdown and infecting others who may die. But then the foodbank line is a potential hazard, right?
The high price of complete safety
Safety comes at a high price. What if your sole purpose in life was safety? Look at the price of safety. Joblessness, poverty, crushed dreams, the evaporation of all our accumulated achievements.
Safety comes at the price of life having meaning.
Safety comes at the cost of adventure.
Safety would not have liberated us from Hitler.

Fear is a liar
The fear of the virus is an irrational fear.
In just one week, this became an indelible lifelong fear.
A sneeze in a crowded theatre will now send shivers down your spine. We are now afraid of a sneeze. And the sneezer feels guilty.
Gone is “God bless you” or “Gesundheit”.
Social distancing
Here is what happened when a group of people didn’t social distance:
On the USS Roosevelt, they tested the entire 4,600 crew. Only 710 tested positive, only 52 needed treatment, and only one died. 42 recovered and 9 are finishing recover-ing. So out of 4,600 tightly packed in birthing compart-ments, and eating and working tightly together 24/ 7, only 1.13% needed treat-ment of any kind, and only 1 out of 4,600 died.
Free market enterprise at the end of a freeway offramp
The people who were selling oranges at the freeway offramp are now selling masks they sewed together at home. Private enterprise crossed up the new regulations because, by selling masks in the open and without a permit, they were helping others comply with the new rules. Who would dare stop them? They and the homeless are the only ones exempt from social distancing.
The homeless are the only ones who are exempt from CDC guidelines.
Which says, either our overseers don’t really care about the homeless or they really don’t think the virus is a threat. And what does this say about how much they care about you?
The longer you stay home the longer you imperil the lives of others.
By collectively choosing to fear we have multiplied the harm.
“Get busy living or get busy dying.”
(Shawshank Redemption)
When will you break ranks?
Most of us are waiting for someone else to make the first move. The population is gripped by paralysis. Only when everybody else is breaking out from the lockdown will we join the crowd.
We are afraid to ask others if they are interested in breaking ranks. At what point would you venture to inquire of your friends and loved ones, when will you chose to buck authority and opt for liberty?
There is such a day. Why wait and have others endure the agony any longer? When you consider what we lost in just one week, when this is over (if it ever is over), will you honestly be able to say it was worth it? When you consider what was at stake, was it worth it?
Do the thing we fear, and death of fear is certain.
— Ralph Waldo Emerson
Will you ever be able to recover the time you lost? The Apostle Paul says, “redeem the time for the days are evil.” Ephesians 5:16


lewrockwell--2020-04-28--The Pandemic Isn’t the Threat – the Paradigm Is

“ For centuries , people have been aware that being out in public carries certain risks – among them , the risk that one might contract a disease from another person .
Never before have people widely asserted that they have the right to demand that everyone around them take all possible precautions at whatever cost to themselves to make this environment absolutely risk free .
If , as the mandatory vaccination proponents contend , we can demand that everyone around us take every conceivable precaution against every communicable disease , what else can we demand of them ?
“ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ should no longer tolerate from each other ?
Going out in public with a cold ?
” First they Came for the Anti-Vaxxers , April 23 2015 I wrote this almost exactly five years ago .
I was trying to come up with extreme examples to illustrate the absurdity of the demands made by those who would force vaccines on everyone , based on the premise that not taking every possible precaution against being infected by a pathogen constitutes an aggression against those around you .
Jabbed : How the Vaccin ... Wilcox @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Buy New $ 13.05 It turns out my attempts to outdo the absurdity of this argument did not go nearly far enough .
It turns out that probably nothing ever could .
The past five weeks have made this clear .
Vast swathes of the world ’ s economy have been ordered to come to a standstill–the impact of which will be devastating for millions of people around the globe who stand to lose their jobs , their businesses and possibly their food supplies–all because of modeling that warned of as many as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 500,000 in the UK if those governments did not impose drastic restrictions on the people of those countries .
But when data scientists have actually examined the results of the lockdowns that were imposed , they have found no evidence that they have helped to contain the spread of Covid-19 , or indeed , to “ flatten the curve ” , while those places that did not impose lockdowns are not faring any worse than the ones that did .
In the US , with the exception of a very few cities like @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but overwhelmed .
Many are actually shutting down or furloughing staff because of the sudden drop in elective procedures .
China ’ s lockdowns have ended , and the government of Iran is beginning to lift lockdowns there .
But here in California , instead of simply declaring the lockdown over , Governor Newsom has assembled a task force to examine the question of how best to end it .
Why ?
Did he need a task force to implement the lockdown ?
No .
Nor will he ever be made to pay @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the two really separate ? )
costs of these unprecedented authoritarian moves .
Vitamin D3 , Zinc and M ... Jeffers , Nancy Best Price : null Buy New $ 6.98 But that is the nature of political systems : The people making the decisions are not the ones who will suffer their consequences .
Government entities are–by design–not accountable for their actions .
And that is the whole problem .
What we are facing right now is not the threat of a deadly pandemic .
We are facing the threat of a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that tells us that the best way to deal with threats–especially big , scary threats that could impact us all and potentially kill a lot of people–is for a central authority to make decisions that are then imposed by force on everyone else .
( The pushers of this paradigm like to leave out the whole lack of accountability thing . )
To a panicked population , this might sound reasonable .
“ Freedom and individual rights are all well and good when things are fine , ” people may tell themselves , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ We need the parental figure of the state to step in and do something !
” Don ’ t laugh .
It ’ s how a lot of people actually think .
Or rather , it ’ s how they don ’ t think .
Because if they were thinking , they would notice the catastrophic results all around them of allowing central authorities to make decisions in crises like this .
They might also remember that we all learned an important lesson about this in the Twentieth Century .
You remember : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of places “ experimented ” with totalitarian regimes that did exactly this : Imposed by force , decisions for everyone living under them about what they could buy , what they could sell , what work they could do , how much they could be paid for it , and on and on .
What humanity learned from those experiments was precisely what economists such as Ludwig von Mises and Friedrich Hayek told us we would learn : That centralized decision-making not only “ doesn ’ t work ” , it leads to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ way–and some unimaginable ones .
Again : Results for which the perpetrators never have to pay .
But there is another paradigm .
One that respects as inviolable the rights of individuals to make their own decisions over their own lives and their interactions with others .
Both history and theory have demonstrated time and time again that this is not just the best , but really the only way for decisions to be made in a way that meets everyone ’ s ( as opposed to a few people at the top @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Fire Your Doctor !
How ... Andrew Saul Best Price : $ 6.40 Buy New $ 1.99 “ But this is a pandemic !
” The people who buy into the first paradigm will scream .
“ Don ’ t you understand ?
?
?
This is a terrifying pathogen that knows no national boundaries , and no individual boundaries !
This is a threat to all of us , and so we must all respond as one !
” Not only does this flawed thinking not hold up in the realm @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do not magically disappear during a crisis–if anything , our adherence to them is even more critical in those times ) .
It is also not true that we need to “ all respond as one ” in the realm of infectious disease .
To understand this , it is helpful to go back more than a century to what was then a vigorous debate between two French scientists : Louis Pasteur , and Antoine Bechamp .
Pasteur is well known for his role in laying the scientific groundwork for “ germ theory @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pathogens–bacteria , viruses , fungi , etc.–that make us sick , and that our efforts at wellness are best focused on combatting these pathogens .
Whether through drugs that kill them ( antibiotics , etc . )
, protective measures such as masks and disinfectant to prevent them from reaching us , or vaccines to artificially stimulate the production of antibodies against them , the focus is on the germs .
Bechamp had a different view .
He believed that it was not the presence or absence of a particular pathogen that made @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the underlying conditions of that person ’ s own body , or , as he put it “ the terrain.
” What was then known as “ terrain theory ” we might today call a “ holistic ” approach to medicine and healing .
The focus is not so much on repelling outside invaders , as it is on strengthening the body ’ s own systems for fighting off anything that might be a threat .
How is this relevant to the totalitarian nightmares of the Twentieth Century ?
How Not To Die @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Price : $ 18.23 Buy New $ 17.97 One of these medical paradigms aligns itself very nicely with the notion that a dangerous pathogen is a matter of “ public health ” requiring government intervention .
While germ theory does not require an authoritarian response to the perceived threat of pathogens , it is far more amenable to one than is the world view that our own individual “ terrain ” is what matters most for protecting our health .
If every other person around us is seen as a threat , because @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a deadly germ over which we have no control , then it is that much easier for governments to justify imposing sweeping restrictions on everyone ’ s activities .
All of a sudden , our most ordinary interactions are considered fraught with danger because of this new and very scary germ against which not a single one of us can possibly defend ourselves .
We need someone to protect us , and the state is very conveniently close at hand .
Bechamp would see it quite differently .
Focus your efforts on the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ up your own individual underlying environment , and we will see that we do indeed have tools to defend ourselves against the bacteria and viruses that surround us in nature .
What are some of those tools ?
For Covid-19 , Vitamin C in particular has shown itself to be a powerful treatment when given intravenously in high doses .
It is part of the official protocol in Shanghai , along with both Western and Chinese medicine , for treating Covid-19 patients in China and has been given to Covid-19 patients there since @ @ @ @ @ @ @ US are beginning to use it .
That traditional Chinese herbal medicine is part of that protocol is also interesting because Chinese medicine tends to focus more upon supporting different organs and elements within the body , rather than killing pathogens .
It also does not offer “ one-size-fits-all ” treatments to patients with the same diagnosis , but tailors a combination of herbs to each individual , based on the specific presentations of each individual .
There is also evidence that Zinc , and Vitamin D may be helpful in strengthening our @ @ @ @ @ @ @ outside world , including Covid-19 in particular .
So why don ’ t we hear about these treatments in the media ?
And why have US media outlets and social-media platforms like FaceBook and YouTube been censoring information about Vitamin C in particular for Covid-19 ?
Pasteur : Plagiarist , I ... R. B. Pearson Buy New $ 44.95 Because to acknowledge ( as Chinese scientists have ) that something as simple as Vitamin C can be an effective treatment for the Scariest Pathogen of our Time is to undermine the entire paradigm @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Doctors , and epidemiologists around the world are pointing out that throughout our history , human beings have had a symbiotic relationships with the pathogens in our environment , and that the way we cope with them is to develop herd immunity to them .

These problems included lung pathologies in animal testing , which mirrored similar , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for Respiratory Syncytial Virus ( RSV ) , who experienced enhanced disease effects when exposed to the virus .

“ We don ’ t know that a vaccine that ’ s developed in four months—or I guess 12 to 18 months , which is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all comes at a time when the “ vaccine safety ” narrative is already showing significant cracks .
Back in December , leading vaccine scientists with the World Health Organization revealed that the evidence in support of vaccine safety is not as solid as that organization publicly claims it is .

If we can , in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ terrain ” such that it can withstand assault from the germs we encounter as we go about our lives , then the whole narrative starts to collapse .
We need no longer be locked up in our homes ; we need no longer wear masks when we do dare to venture out ; we need no longer view our fellow human beings as existential threats .

What we in the US are living through at this moment is the near-perfect expression of germ theory taken to its extreme : Human beings driven away from each other by fear of a pathogen ; economic activity strictly controlled by the state ; normal human interaction outside of families practically forbidden .
If you believe wholeheartedly in germ theory , in the idea that the state of our health is wholly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ surround us , then you might even think it makes sense .
While this belief does not by itself justify state intervention , it does make it a lot easier to sell it to a frightened public .
It is of course also entirely possible to imagine a purely private , free society , where individual property owners buy into the idea of germ theory and impose restrictions on what people may do on their property accordingly .
Such a society might even end up looking very much like the dystopia we are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ buy into the fear .
But it is difficult to imagine the inverse .
It is difficult to imagine a society that embraces terrain theory that also imposes medical authoritarianism .
Why ?
Because terrain theory is a paradigm of individual empowerment , and individual sovereignty .
To the extent that I am responsible for the state of my own wellness , and you are responsible for yours , it is that much harder for me to perceive you as a threat , and that much harder for the state to rationalize intervening @ @ @ @ @ @ @ our experience with Covid-19 plays out , as we start to get a glimpse of the tremendous costs that government-imposed lockdowns are going to have on all of us , and as we see other countries ending their lockdowns , or indeed , never imposing them in the first place , a lot of Americans are starting to question the paradigm of top-down decision making that got us here .
As we look forward to what the technocratic heirs of Louis Pasteur are dubbing “ the new normal ” , if we find @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and unnecessary , then perhaps we will also find that it is time to start questioning that authoritarian paradigm ’ s counterpart in the world of medicine .

Not only does this flawed thinking not hold up in the realm of political economy (basic economic principles do not magically disappear during a crisis–if anything, our adherence to them is even more critical in those times). It is also not true that we need to “all respond as one” in the realm of infectious disease.
To understand this, it is helpful to go back more than a century to what was then a vigorous debate between two French scientists: Louis Pasteur, and Antoine Bechamp.

Whether through drugs that kill them (antibiotics, etc.), protective measures such as masks and disinfectant to prevent them from reaching us, or vaccines to artificially stimulate the production of antibodies against them, the focus is on the germs.
Bechamp had a different view. He believed that it was not the presence or absence of a particular pathogen that made a person ill or well, but the underlying conditions of that person’s own body, or, as he put it “the terrain.” What was then known as “terrain theory” we might today call a “holistic” approach to medicine and healing.

Because to acknowledge (as Chinese scientists have) that something as simple as Vitamin C can be an effective treatment for the Scariest Pathogen of our Time is to undermine the entire paradigm.
CRACKS IN THE PARADIGM:
That paradigm is already under assault. Doctors, and epidemiologists around the world are pointing out that throughout our history, human beings have had a symbiotic relationships with the pathogens in our environment, and that the way we cope with them is to develop herd immunity to them. Says former head of the department of biostatistics, epidemiology and research design at Rockefeller University, Knut Wittkowski:
“With all respiratory diseases, the only thing that stops the disease is herd immunity… so it’s very important to keep the schools open and kids mingling to spread the virus to get herd immunity as fast as possible. And then the elderly people, who should be separated… can come back and meet their children and grandchildren after about four weeks…”
Likewise, Professor Johan Giesecke, former State Epidemiologist for Sweden (the position now held by Anders Tegnell), and currently an advisor to the Swedish Government, says that most of the policies imposed by other governments are not evidence based. And as two California doctors argue in a video that has gone viral, the lockdowns go against the very nature of our immune systems, which develop and become stronger by exposure to pathogens.

Others, including the director-general of the International Vaccine Institute, Jerome Kim, have expressed serious concern about the speed with which Covid-19 vaccines are being developed.
Kim says that this speed is “unprecedented.” Normally, he told CNBC earlier this month, the process takes between five and ten years. “We don’t know that a vaccine that’s developed in four months—or I guess 12 to 18 months, which is the current estimate—is really safe.”

And in March, when the CDC was required by a Federal court to produce evidence in support of its claim that “vaccines do not cause autism,” it was unable to do so.
PARADIGMS HAVE CONSEQUENCES:
If we can, in fact, strengthen and support our “terrain” such that it can withstand assault from the germs we encounter as we go about our lives, then the whole narrative starts to collapse. We need no longer be locked up in our homes; we need no longer wear masks when we do dare to venture out; we need no longer view our fellow human beings as existential threats.
More than that: Maybe we do not in fact need the promised vaccine that the followers of Pasteur tell us is our only possible hope for surviving this most deadly of threats.

In the United States , and all around the world , there are scientists in laboratories , busily working on finding a medicine to cure those afflicted with the coronavirus , and/or a vaccine , to prevent others from contracting this dread disease .
All well and good you say ?
Not so fast .
There is a problem here , a big one .
Our precious tenets of inclusivity and diversity are not being adhered to .
Virtually all of the chemists , biologists , STEM PhDs and others of that ilk are straight white males !
This is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to continue !
Are we fair weather supporters of inclusivity and diversity , or do we seriously uphold these crucially important principles ?
If the latter , we must do all that we can to dismiss , not all , we ’ re reasonable here , but many of the evil straight white males from these laboratories .
We must replace them with lesbians , homosexuals , bisexuals , blacks , gays , bisexuals , the transgendered , the intersex , queer/questioning , asexual , the non-binary , the pansexual , Hispanics , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the disabled and other denigrated and deprived groups .
The Madness of Crowds : ... Murray , Douglas Best Price : $ 15.44 Buy New $ 13.99 What ’ s this you say ?
That members of these other groups are less qualified than the cis-gendered white males presently occupying these positions ?
Yes , true , but that is only because of rampant discrimination on the part of the aforesaid evil white males .
Had admission to these STEM Ph.D. programs been fair in the first place ( that is , based @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would have had laboratories filled with people who look just like the rest of us .
What , you have another objection to my modest proposal ?
( People who question or disagree with me are Fascists , and you ’ re beginning to sound like one .
However , we live in unusual times , and I ’ m willing to consider yet another objection of yours ) .
You claim that we are less likely to find a cure or a vaccine for Covid 19 if we ferret out white males @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sure , just many of them , and replace them with salt of the earth folk ( that is , everyone except a straight white cis gendered male ) ?

In the United States, and all around the world, there are scientists in laboratories, busily working on finding a medicine to cure those afflicted with the coronavirus, and/or a vaccine, to prevent others from contracting this dread disease.
All well and good you say? Not so fast. There is a problem here, a big one. Our precious tenets of inclusivity and diversity are not being adhered to. Virtually all of the chemists, biologists, STEM PhDs and others of that ilk are straight white males! This is intolerable. This must not be allowed to continue! Are we fair weather supporters of inclusivity and diversity, or do we seriously uphold these crucially important principles? If the latter, we must do all that we can to dismiss, not all, we’re reasonable here, but many of the evil straight white males from these laboratories. We must replace them with lesbians, homosexuals, bisexuals, blacks, gays, bisexuals, the transgendered, the intersex, queer/questioning, asexual, the non-binary, the pansexual, Hispanics, women, Eskimos, Native Americans, the disabled and other denigrated and deprived groups.
The Madness of Crowds:... Murray, Douglas Best Price: $15.44 Buy New $13.99 (as of 03:02 UTC - Details) What’s this you say? That members of these other groups are less qualified than the cis-gendered white males presently occupying these positions? Yes, true, but that is only because of rampant discrimination on the part of the aforesaid evil white males. Had admission to these STEM Ph.D. programs been fair in the first place (that is, based on inclusivity and diversity), we would have had laboratories filled with people who look just like the rest of us.
What, you have another objection to my modest proposal? (People who question or disagree with me are Fascists, and you’re beginning to sound like one. However, we live in unusual times, and I’m willing to consider yet another objection of yours). You claim that we are less likely to find a cure or a vaccine for Covid 19 if we ferret out white males, not all of them to be sure, just many of them, and replace them with salt of the earth folk (that is, everyone except a straight white cis gendered male)? Nonsense. Nonsense on stilts! You only make this objection because you have been taken in by the propaganda of the evil straight white cis gendered males. You want some proof? Black people have in the past accounted for numerous and important scientific discoveries, as have women. Go look it up if you doubt me. Or, see below for evidence that will make your head spin.

One of those requirements that has me irritated is the use of face coverings that I see so prevalent out there. When I go to Costco, 95% of the people in the store are wearing face masks. Why is that?
The Governor of Michigan recently released an edict requiring that citizens wear a face covering when in any enclosed public space. It specifically states, “Any individual able to medically tolerate a face covering must wear a covering over his or her nose and mouth—such as a homemade mask, scarf, bandana, or handkerchief—when in any enclosed public space.” Later in the edict, it states, “Supplies of N95 masks and surgical masks should generally be reserved, for now, for health care professionals, first responders and other critical workers who interact with the public.”
It should be well known that cloth masks, bandanas, or handkerchiefs will do very little to stop the spread of coronavirus.

Regular surgical masks are not much better in this situation. The COVID-19 virus is 0.125 µm in size. Surgical masks have been shown to not adequately filter against aerosols measuring from 0.9-3.1 µm. (2) Other researchers have shown that particles from 0.04-0.2 µm can penetrate surgical masks. (3)
A 2020 study in Seoul, South Korea looked at the effectiveness of surgical and cotton masks in blocking COVID-19 in a controlled comparison of four patients. (4) The COVID-infected patients were put in negative pressure isolated rooms. The scientists compared disposable surgical masks (3 layers) with reusable cotton masks. Patients were instructed to cough 5 times while wearing no mask, surgical mask, or cotton mask. Interestingly, all swabs from the outer masks—including surgical masks—were positive for COVID-19. Inner masks were also found to be contaminated. That means the mask did not effectively filter out the COVID virus since it is too small.

As I’ve described in previous articles, the CDC and WHO deploy several strategies to pump up the number of COVID cases. For example, the diagnostic test, which spits out many, many false-positive results.
After all, the authorities must somehow convince the dumbed-down public that the “epidemic” is alive and spreading.
Next up: we will see new symptoms added to the list of COVID indicators. In 1987, I watched the shameless manufacture of so-called AIDS-related diseases. The CDC definition of AIDS, which I printed in my book, AIDS INC., took up 15 pages. The only non-AIDS-related disease left after the CDC got through was infection by aliens from the Orion Belt.

COSORI Premium Food De... Buy New $159.99 (as of 02:28 UTC - Details) This is a bald attempt to counter the flood of data, from several countries, that indicates the people dying from the purported virus are, overwhelmingly, the elderly, who already have multiple, long-term, serious health conditions, for which they’ve been treated with toxic drugs. In other words, these elderly patients aren’t dying FROM the purported virus at all.
So according to the Post: “Doctors sound alarm about patients in their 30s and 40s left debilitated or dead. Some didn’t even know they were infected.”
“…Many doctors expressed worry that as the New York City Fire Department was picking up four times as many people who died at home as normal during the peak of infection that some of the dead had suffered sudden strokes. The truth may never be known because few autopsies were conducted.”
“…Jabbour said many cases he has treated have unusual characteristics. Brain clots usually appear in the arteries, which carry blood away from the heart. But in covid-19 patients, he is also seeing them in the veins, which carry blood in the opposite direction and are trickier to treat. Some patients are also developing more than one large clot in their heads, which is highly unusual.”
Of course, the Post says nothing about the worthless diagnostic tests on these unusual patients. The article assumes they are “infected with COVID-19.”
And the further assumption is, somehow the virus is attacking the heart, or the arteries, or the brain, or the blood.
This sets the stage for expanding the definition of the epidemic disease.
It reminds me a bit of so-called AIDS dementia, a fanciful add-on back in the 1980s. In that instance, a lunatic doctor could tell a patient, “I see you informed the nurse you’re feeling better.

These days, the public reaction to “unusual cases of stroke among the young,” will be: THE VIRUS MUST BE CAUSING IT. WHAT ELSE COULD IT BE?”
Newsflash: It could be any number of things, none of which is connected to a virus. The medical literature of the past hundred years is filled with reports of patients falling ill and dying in odd ways.
For official propagandists (professional liars), it doesn’t matter how many people are now perishing of “unusual strokes.” It only matters that reports of their dying can stoke fear and find their way into new sprouting branches of the definitional COVID tree.
Young people, teens, babies, pregnant mothers, exhumed bodies from decades ago—whatever the WHO/CDC need to do, to expand the meaning of COVID, whatever they need to invent, they’ll be there with “alarming findings.”
