Nah! Safe and effective. Plus, it helped slow down glow-bull discombobulation at the same time. YUGE /S!

--- "Did Government-Sponsored Disinformation Worsen COVID-19?"

Yup. Still does....

From Worldometer: "7,010,681 deaths" as of 13 April 2024

Also from Worldometer: 8,186,060,085 Current World Population

Mortality rate calculation across the ENTIRE four years of the "pandemic:"

( 7,010,681 deaths worldwide / 8,186,060,085 world population ) x 100 = 0.0856 percent.

Less that one-tenth of one percent.

One recalls the WHO and Imperial College -- so very, very wrong -- predicted 3.4 percent PER YEAR.

A clear demonstration of disinformation, in service to the mRNA manufacturers and others interested in the chaos which ensued.

Even when "worsened," it's still a mortality rate of less than one-tenth of one percent, using bogus classifications and changing definitions.

Error #1) The gov psyched everyone up even though it was seen early on that it followed flu epidemiology - elderly and infirm most at risk. RESULT - People flooded into hospitals because if they even sneezed, they thought they were going to die.

Error #2) Providing federal funding based on the number of covid cases meant hospitals and municipalities fluffing numbers adding to the hysteria - If you got killed because you were run over by a steam roller, but tested positive for covid, you were listed as a covid death. RESULT: Public fear and hysteria increased by an order of magnitude.

The rest followed from there.

In sum, to control the pandemic, fighting disinformation can play a key role.

Closing line is the punch line - deceiving government entities will claim any information not coming from them is 'disinformation'. They've been doing that for years.

This fight isn't going away.

I have to dissent (in part) with this article, chiefly because it’s sort of all over the place.

Here are the bits in question:

Therefore, government-sponsored disinformation may result in distrust of public health institutions and be positively associated with the incidence and prevalence of disease.

COVID-19 studies have demonstrated that people’s belief in misinformation reduced the likelihood that they would take preventive measures such as mask wearing, social distancing, and complying with official guidelines.

Parenthetically, I got a chuckle out of this one:

In addition, in contrast to democracies, (bold added) autocracies such as Iran, China, Russia, and North Korea are likely to refuse information sharing and regulations promoted by the global health system during a pandemic

From Jan-Feb 2020, what struck me perhaps more than anything was 1) China’s patently fake statistics, and the avalanche of true and fake news from their citizenry, and 2) Fauci’s very curious (well…curious then, now fully understood) back-and-forth positioning: he would go on Fox and say there was nothing to fear then go on CNN a day later and fear-monger..rinse and repeat until March, and 3) the political class in DC condemning Trump in a contrarian manner, day in and day out.

As I wrote elsewhere, thru FR and manical personal research, a clear picture and path emerged. There was something really bad coming our way, especially if you were older or had comorbidities. It attacked multiple ways-why, it was like it wasn’t natural. At the same time, if you were in good health and younger, you’d probably be ok. A prudential approach of protecting grandma and grandpa, staying away from hospitals, letting the kiddies play inside and outside, and having a healthy supply of food, water, vitamins, and ordnance on hand should win the day.

When 2-weeks to flatten the curve failed, and especially when the riots happened and the mask and social distancing Karens said rioting, erm, protesting wasn’t bad, we knew we wuz being lied to.

At the same time, liberty-loving outlets like FR allowed for a WIDE dissemination of information. As I say, it was like a demolition derby, but everyone was fully-informed.

Again, I will never condemn people who took the shots. Nor will I condemn the shot-avoiders. And this was Ebola but this was no boating accident.

One last point: it appears the youth vote is trending Trump more than expected. I haven’t seen this in the data, but ya gotta ask-how many “kids” running away from Harris are doin so because their teen years were ruined (and grandparents killed) by Dem policies?

Sorry…

…this was NOT Ebola. It didn’t have a 95% case fatality rating.

‘But it was no boating accident. Many people are STILL suffering from the effects of the virus post-infection.

Many treatments the govt tried to suppress really helped. Many govt remedies like masking sucked.

Thanks for posting.

Mass indoctrination was heavy. The Biden Government, mainstream media, AMA, hospitals, most GPs and other doctors with private practices, even grocery and drug stores were pushing the vaccine and masks.

“The Covid-19 vaccine is safe and effective.” How could they know in the absence of animal tests and clinical trials? It was proof by assertion.

The corrected version reads: “The Covid-19 shot is ineffective, and likely does more harm than good.”
