Covid-19 Is All About Control
Why you shouldn’t be surprised if lockdowns keep happening for years.
In America, Coronavirus has become a deeply partisan issue, where it’s perceived that if you’re Republican, you’re anti-lockdown and anti-mask — and anti-science — and if you’re a Democrat, you’re pro-science, pro-mask, and pro-lockdown.
I’ve got to a point where I’ve just lost all tolerance and faith in what’s happening right now. There is no science and no medical rigor behind anything that’s happening with the FDA in the United States and with EMA in Europe as well.
None.
And I want to talk about this. And I’ll start with mutations and strains.
There’s zero plan right now in the US, the WHO, the European Union, or China, the leaders of the world to vaccinate the bottom four billion.
What does that mean?
Coronavirus will percolate in those areas and every single year new strains, new variants will return to America, European Union, and other places. So, every year we will have to have a booster shot for these new variants that appear. Every year, for the rest of our lives, until we vaccinate those people.
It will take at least 5 years, if not longer. Take a look at how long it took to eradicate polio — which is still in some areas — or smallpox.
It will take many years to eradicate it in those areas if there’s a coordinated international effort to do so.
There’s none.
So, if we keep the same strategy, the lockdowns never end, because there will always be a new variant. There will always be a new strain to come. Every year will keep coming back. That’s where we’re at. No plan, whatsoever.
AstraZeneca, Johnson & Jonhson, Pfizer, Moderna, and Novavax, all their CEO’s have already gone on record saying that they’re working on booster shots for the current platforms to make them more effective against the South African and other variants.
There’s no coordinated worldwide genomic surveillance program at the moment to have early detection of new strains and new variants.
Where’s the science in that? Where’s the leadership in that?
How much money are we spending on new forms of Personal Protective Equipment(PPE)? How much manufacturing capacity are we building so countries can permanently make PPE instead of relying upon China?
There’s overwhelming evidence that Vitamin D has a huge impact on the mortality and hospitalization rate. Are we giving vitamin D to deficient people? NO. it’s not even proper to talk about it. But you can see peer-reviewed after peer-reviewed papers come through.
There’s overwhelming observational evidence of the efficacy of ivermectin. Critical care pulmonologists went to Congress begging for people to just read the research that they have. It’s a dirt-cheap drug. No discussion about it at the FDA level.
But yet we’re gonna talk about Remdesivir. A horrendously expensive drug that’s brand new, it’s never been used before in any context, it failed as an orphan drug for Ebola and it actually doesn't do much for those who are sick.
Where’s the science in that?
Let’s talk about the vulnerable populations.
According to CDC statistics, 92% percent of deaths are people who are over the age of 55. The other 8% of the deaths are under the age of 55. Okay. So, once those people(55+), have either isolated or vaccinated, you tell me, as a society, is it a good idea to continue the lockdown when the consequences are:
- Devastating economic burden.
- A massive increase in the suicide rate.
- People not getting hospitalized and not getting medical treatment for other conditions. There’s a spike in deaths of cancer and other conditions untreated.
- Huge amounts of domestic violence
- More businesses going out of business.
- More people cast into the streets.
- The starvation of millions of people in the developing world because of the economic calamity of these lockdowns.
All lives matter, right? We care for every single person. We don’t want people to die. Public policy should prevent deaths. If your public policy causes deaths, shouldn’t you stop it? Lockdowns aren't free. The more you do this, the more economic damage you do, the more irreversible it becomes, the more devastating it is to society.
What are they doing in schools? They’re putting plexiglass between students, they’re telling kids they can’t eat with each other or play with each other. We’re raising a generation of children with psychological damage and trauma.
This isn’t just an inconvenience. It’s a fundamental rewiring of the DNA of society. Every time that I walk by old people they stay away from me — even if they’ve been vaccinated — because they now think that exposure to people is death.
That’s what we’ve done to society in a year. This will never go away because our public policy has no intention of making this go away. There’s no desire to vaccinate the developing world. It’s a reservoir that will bring it back year by year.
So what are the goalposts? 70% vaccination, but then a strain comes through, and we reset the clock. So, we have to wait 6–9 months to revaccinate 70% so that we can have 3 months where we don’t have to wear a mask and then put them right back on?
All the places that require densely packed people, those are gone forever? No more movie theaters, no more nightclubs, no more bars? No more human socialization? Having sex with a mask on? — As the health minister of Ontario told us to do.
This is the world that these politicians are broadcasting. It’s not scientific, there’s no medicine in it, there’s no discussion of cost-benefit, and there’s no acknowledgment that this policy is killing people.
So yes, I do applaud Texas and Mississippi for taking a step forward at the beginning of March and saying that it’s time to do something even if it’s a little risky. And if you take a look now at the daily cases and deaths, that risk went well. And Biden told us that they are Neanderthals for not sticking to the lockdown measures.
This isn’t a partisan issue. It’s an issue of authoritarianism versus freedom. And this isn’t a medical issue anymore. There’s a lot of medical things that can be done. There’s a lot of sensible policy that can be adopted. This isn’t a new condition. There’s over a year of data and research, there’re treatments, there’re multiple vaccines. There’re ways out of this.
There’s no coordinated international response to bring us back to normal. And if you allow politicians to tell you: “Just wait a little bit longer,” you’ll find yourself waiting 5–10 years for a solution.
I'm sorry, I can’t accept a world where people are afraid of each other on the streets. No one hugs anymore, there’s no human contact anymore, and authoritarians tell you to shut the fuck up because you don’t hold a medical license.
By the way, those who do hold a medical license, talk to them. Talk to your family doctor, talk to any physician. A lot of them, privately, and in some cases publicly, will tell you that this is political — not medical. And they’re afraid to speak up for fear of losing their licenses, and they’re afraid to speak up for fear of censuring consequences.
What kind of system does that? “Get in line. Don’t comment. Don’t try alternatives. Just go with the orthodoxy.” That’s what an authoritarian government does, and that’s where we’re at right now.
So, when state governments dissent they’ll be punished in the media and they’ll be punished in the mainstream.
Ask yourself this, as a thought experiment: Why didn’t we, as a matter of public policy, vaccinate Hawaii first? Why didn’t the US government take 5% of the supply of the rest of the States and give Hawaii enough that it could vaccinate the entire state in two months? So the people in the US would have a trial marketplace where we could see what the US will look like, post-vaccination, at the end of 2021.
In this way, you could watch and measure the mortality rate and measure hospitalization, do genomic surveillance, and re-open Hawaii as a model. A perfect place to do it.
NO, they didn’t do it at all. Because they aren’t interested in the answer. They really don’t care about the answer.
This has nothing to do with science. This has everything to do with control over people. We have the tools to solve this as a society and the people that are in charge don’t want to. I’ve come to that conclusion. They like the power, they like the control, they like the influence. I don’t know why. I don’t know what gets them off about destroying people’s lives and devastating small businesses and breaking up marriages, teaching children they should fear each other, and convincing the elderly that the mere exposure to another human being is death.
This is just not normal. This isn’t a society of freedom. This is a society of authoritarianism.
And if you look at China, with the social credit, and with the Sharp Eyes program, where they’re surveilling 100% of the country, there’re authoritarian elements that billions of people in this world will live under the next 20 years.
The people who are in charge right now of the so-called “free world” admire a lot of these programs and they want to bring them in. Never forget that there’re people, politically, who say: “ Never let a crisis go to waste.”
And it is our job, as a free society, to push back and think for ourselves.
I’m smart enough to know when I’m being lied to. And you are too.
So, before criticizing someone with these thoughts that he “doesn’t follow the science and not listening to the doctors,” we do listen to the doctors. We do follow the science. There are plenty of qualified doctors, academics and scientists who dedicated their lives to thinking about just these things.
No one’s listening to them. The public policy is definitely not.
I’m sorry, you can’t stop people from dying. It’s gonna happen. Respiratory viruses do that. Life does that. The real question is what is acceptable and what isn’t acceptable. Do we care about the world or we just care about ourselves?
I’m just tired and fatigued. I think everyone is tired and fatigued. I’m very tired of seeing my community being devastated. I will speak up against this because it impacts my freedom. It impacts my freedom of whether I could actually talk to other people reasonably, whether people fear me just for me being near them as if I’m a leper. It impacts my freedom to travel.
This isn’t okay. This isn’t a proper society. I’m willing to take reasonable limitations if there’re clear goalposts. We’ve never been given them. They keep moving them whenever they give us one. I’m tired of this.
It’s about time we have real science. It’s about time we have a real discussion about this and I hope to God that the people who made these decisions to inflict so much harm on society and been so incompetent in the handling of this will have a reckoning in the ballot box and eventually in the courts.
There’s been overwhelming corruption, criminal conduct, and other things that have happened.
This is disgusting. It’s a crime against logic. It has to stop.
