Agree...we see people wearing their masks. So the surge becomes unexplainable UNLESS it is totally airborne and survives much longer than thought.

Lots of false positives could be happening. Many of these tests are unreliable.

That is the objective. Illness is real, but shunting everything under the cv19 DX makes it far more useful to the PTB.

Evidence? We don’t have no evidence. We don’t have to show you any steenkin’ evidence.

I think it’s a combination of false positives...even the CEO of the big test manufacturer in Canada recently wrote an article pleading for governments to stop mass use of PCR tests because of their tendency to give false positives...and the fact that viruses just manage to spread and if we did widespread testing for, say, the common cold (the corona virus is a cold virus) we’d find that far more people had been exposed it than showed symptoms. The body spends every moment day and night fighting off viruses, which builds its overall resistance.

So we have massively widespread testing with an unreliable test and this is what we get.

Also, the disease is much less lethal than it was initially portrayed and the few people I’ve known who’ve gotten it have said that it was just a flu like any other and that they’ve had worse. And those who are most at risk are the same people who die every year from other flus and colds...the very elderly or people with compromised immune systems or pre-existing respiratory conditions. So for this we shut down the world and destroy the future of our young people and children?

Evidence is not needed when it comes to subservience and control of the populace, Mr. Paul...........

Or, far more likely, there is no “surge”, it is simply propaganda created by using incredibly inaccurate testing that generates an enormous number of false positives. Or, alternatively, if there IS an actual surge in cases, there is no corresponding surge in deaths, so it’s still meaningless.

Take your pick. Either way, we are being, and have been, lied to. Most even semi-intelligent people knew this in April. Sadly, the world, and FR, is chock full of people who are far less than semi-intelligent.

Too much we don’t know about just how this virus works, but we have people who seem to know even less about this virus than the average person on the street telling us what we need to do. None of it seems to be working, but we have no way of knowing that we are getting honest reporting on it either. Too many average folks just going along with whatever is the popular theory that day, trying to convince others of their assumed knowledge. In the meantime our nation is falling apart.

Death rate is going down, but these tyrants want to harp on infections. There must be massive civil disobedience to make these dictates null and void.

Except that he is promoting an unnecessary vaccine.

I love Rand too, and he has been good on the vaccine issue in the past, so I will assume there is a method to the madness, so to speak.

The best vaccine would be for at least half of the people with co-morbidities to take steps to eliminate those. Add to that, everyone take a small chelated zinc capsule daily along with some quercetin during flu season + everyone get tested for blood levels of vitamin D, and raise to at least 40 ng/mL via sun exposure and/or supplementation

‘It is just a drive for power by the elites!’

and it has succeeded beyond their wildest dreams; witness many women, and some men, on Twitter and FB, begging the governors to shut the states down...

many would think that an acceptable and profitable tradeoff...
