We’ve been had and Trump knows it
American Thinker ^ | March 28, 2020 | Geoffrey P. Hunt

While President Trump closed the US border against entry from China at the end of January, his overall instinct was right. The CCP virus was nasty, but no worse than a supercharged flu.

Health professionals overwhelmed Trump and his inner circle with doomsday scenarios, bullied by panic obsessed virologists and epidemiologists -- begging for attention and copying the alarmist playbook from the climate/global warming extremists, allied with the MSM Trump-haters.

And now the government has completely suffocated economic demand, creating a depression, an unnecessary calamity that is destroying lives, livelihoods, families, and fortunes for a generation. It is becoming apparent that the end-of-the-world predictions, computer models warning of an apocalyptic black plague worldwide, are all wrong.

Those paying attention were warned that the worse-case scenarios were hysterical, by the likes of Stanford epidemiologist John P.A. Ioannidis.

In dramatic fashion UK Imperial College scientist Neil Ferguson published a doomsday scenario on March 16. Now just ten days later, he has reversed his outlook, essentially settling on a prediction no worse than a bad flu season.

Most telling, the two US public health icons, Drs Fauci and Birx, are both saying the extreme models that provoked extreme measures, bear little resemblance to the actual data on the ground. From the New England Journal of Medicine March 26 co-authored by Fauci :

If you haven’t seen it, I would suggest you find a Youtube clip of that post-impeachment “thank-you party” Trump held in the White House. Watch it in its entirety. It’s basically a Trump speech where he calls out all kinds of Republican supporters in Washington who helped fight a great battle against the Democratic revolt.

There are several points in his comments where he singles out people who have been elected in recent years (I seem to remember Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri as one of them) for recognition, and in several of those cases he makes the same interesting comment — and it’s always a variation of this: ”I didn't know him/her before 2018, but once I saw that he/she could win I knew I could support him/her.”

This is the one thing that explains the seemingly wild inconsistency he sometimes shows when dealing with Republicans in Washington. He has a MAGA agenda, but he has no problem supporting Republicans who are globalists ... because he always wants he support a WINNER no matter what.

What was his crime? He has right to express his opinions. We have a right to ignore him.

Executing people for expression opinions is a very, very bad precedent. Look at the example you cited.

Well they certainly were overplaying, let’s not underplay it now. They need to be dosing all the patients that have Covid-19 and see what the results are. 8>)

“but no worse than a supercharged flu.”
That is killing 4.67% of the people who get a confirmed case of it world-wide.

Most of whom are old, very old, sickly or suffering from other serious illnesses.

That old saying: a pic is worth a thousand words...
Knowing what we now know, what IF the vile demonic Botoxian was on the antidote and was deliberating trying to pass it on to the POTUS with this very handshake? Maybe the POTUS knew it in advance and passed on the pass?
No wonder the demon got pissed and tore up the speech.....it failed in its mission!!!
No quite sure how, but somehow, the RATs are behind this....BIG TIME.

CDC, UN, and the Gates Foundation plotted this total economic shutdown less than 12 weeks before putting it into action.

got their coordinated histrionic response together and it was put into play incrementally.

who pressured all major events to cancel all seasons in February?

it certainly wasn’t the elected administration.

went from “take 2 weeks for spring break” to “don’t come back” to “you’re under house arrest”.

Th ACLU took the case of the woman who was quarantined for exposure to ebola - the woman who refused to stay indoors. where are they on lockdowns for most untested citizens?

so very true. astounding what we’re seeing, even out of perceived conservatives. This is the hoax of all hoaxes and so many fell for it. Trump’s initial instinct, that it was a hoax, was right on the money. Then he got steamrolled. And I would bet big money Ivanka is one of them behind it.

Not that I care what Fauci thinks one way or the other, seeing that he is a deep sate operative and a fanatical Hilary Clinton groupie with a proven anti Trump agenda, but here is the link to the article concerned.

Listening to Fauci, I'd say he's having a hard time with his balancing act....and is doing what he is told...but not sure by whom.

Spot on. Fauci is trying to steer profit to big Pharm & prevent too much of America looking behind the curtain. He hasn't go a hope. POTUS is very astute at "following the money trail".

Anything coming from any college should automatically be suspect and taken with a HUGE grain of salt.

DiFiChiSpy has direct contact with American-Chinese business as well as other CCP-nationals.
Her husband, too.
Nanzi was in SF during the break between the PeachMint hearings and the SOTU.
Did Nanzi meet with any friends of the Feinstein’s while in SF?

Not only is the mortality rate far lower than advertised (essentially it’s the same as a regular flu), the regular flu has a vaccine and that’s why the mortality rate for regular flu’s are low... So even without a vaccine this virus is as low in mortality rate as a regular flu. So it’s basically less fatal than the regular flu

WOW!
Very good points. I never even thought of that aspect.

Event 201 Pandemic Exercise: Highlights Reel

http://www.centerforhealthsecurity.org/event201/about

About the Event 201 exercise
Event 201 was a 3.5-hour pandemic tabletop exercise that simulated a series of dramatic, scenario-based facilitated discussions, confronting difficult, true-to-life dilemmas associated with response to a hypothetical, but scientifically plausible, pandemic. 15 global business, government, and public health leaders were players in the simulation exercise that highlighted unresolved real-world policy and economic issues that could be solved with sufficient political will, financial investment, and attention now and in the future.

The exercise consisted of pre-recorded news broadcasts, live “staff” briefings, and moderated discussions on specific topics. These issues were carefully designed in a compelling narrative that educated the participants and the audience.

The Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, World Economic Forum, and Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation jointly propose these recommendations.

Purpose
“In recent years, the world has seen a growing number of epidemic events, amounting to approximately 200 events annually. “


that’s it. shut on society forever. 200 epidemic events every year.

He has a MAGA agenda, but he has no problem supporting Republicans who are globalists ... because he always wants he support a WINNER no matter what.


you have blinders on. Being a winner is not the goal. If it helps in the objective, one does what it takes.

Do not confuse winning and getting your objective.

In this crap legislation, Trump is still in charge as the executive in the specifics of HOW it is done. I trust him.

“Similar to the Center’s 3 previous exercises—Clade X, Dark Winter, and Atlantic Storm—Event 201 aimed to educate senior leaders at the highest level of US and international governments and leaders in global industries.”
