What Are We Doing Wrong Regarding COVID-19?
American Thinker ^ | 3 August A.D. 2021 | David Scott Strain

First, we have to recognize something: had we done nothing (in comparison to what we have done) we’d be a year-and-a-half plus into herd immunity. No lockdowns, no masking, no obliteration of normal school, no upending of businesses large and small, none of the psychological trauma induced by social distancing, and on and on regarding the upheavals to general society induced by panic. Panic’s deleterious effects far outweigh this so-called “pandemic.”

Consider: For run-of-the-mill healthy people, the virus has a 99.9+% recovery rate... In a country that was formerly the Land of the Free and Home of the Brave, anyone who wanted to wear a diaper on their face could do so. Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, et al., may not know which end a diaper goes on, but I sure do....

After all, COVID has been just another virus season. Albeit one with extreme politicking with associated exaggerations, lies, obfuscations, nonsequiturs, misdirections, threats, insults, fearmongering...

If we don't gain some perspective now, Democrat fearmongers and Dr. Fauci will have us dancing Life's dance on broken legs according to the government’s crazy music for the foreseeable future -- and maybe forever... I repeat; last year's vaccine is no longer able to protect. You must get the current vaccine -- and continue to wear your mask!

Easy to see this coming... and coming, and coming again. The Dems will never let this pandemic go (to natural herd immunity). Why else would they create, and take the results of, a flattened Southern border and bus and fly untested, illegal immigrants to other parts of the country?

Investigate the (unbiased) stats for yourself, and then: I think it is time we dust off Patrick Henry’s famous words, with a slight update for our times:

Give me natural immunity, or give me death!

Almost spot on. The author forgot a whole lot of so-called Republicans.

We could start by the US government not deliberately infecting as much of the population as possible by smuggling covid positive illegal aliens all over the US under cover of darkness.

Give me natural immunity, or give me death!

The problem is the vaccine creates an immune response against a form of the virus that appears to be no longer the prevalent strain. The result is when a “vaccinated” person is exposed to the virus, their immune response is imperfect and targeted to the original strain, whereas a natural immunity response is more generalized and adaptable and apparently able to better defeat variants.

So there are potential issues with the vaccine. One is that the immune response it produces now prevents the body from generating a new immune response as the body apparently treats the immune response as “good enough”.

Being an imperfect immune response, the antibodies bond to and inactivate the virus, but they do so imperfectly. In a worse case scenario, they not only fail to inactive the virus, but conversely actually enable the virus to more readily invade host cells due to ADE, or antibody dependent enhancement. This may be why the measured viral load of vaccinated people appears to now be higher than unvaccinated.

“we’d be a year-and-a-half plus into herd immunity”

Is there what you call “herd immunity” for the other human coronaviruses? (Pro tip - No).

So, why should this one be different?

And Fauzi. But that’s being redundant.

What Are We Doing Wrong Regarding COVID-19?

In a nutshell, practically everything. First was masking, then the nationwide lockdown. Follow this with not applying protocols that were found early on to be effective in stopping the replication of the coronavirus (hydroxychloroquine-zinc-azithromycin, ivermectin, several others), and clumsy attempts to make the disease seem much worse than it was by misreporting "cause of death" as COVID-19 Wuhan virus, when in fact it was due to the existing comorbidity, and the Wuhan virus was found to be also present, but not enough by itself to cause death.

A very large stone was cast into the water, and it caused ripples that turned into tsunami surge as it moved through the population.

Fear porn is addictive, and those who distribute it are as badly affected by it as the ones who suffer directly from its propagation.

Have you noticed how natural immunity is never discussed? or mentioned?

I have natural immunity and yet even my doctor ignored it. He wanted me to take the injection anyways. When I started to quiz him he changed the subject.

Common sense, intelligence and logic work against the global plan to control all of us. They are forcing us into submission and natural immunity does not fit into this plan.

What about fauchi? Is he going to skate like the rest of the law-breakers?

Are these calculations correct?

As of April 25, 2021, 12:48 GMT before widespread vaccinations and greater acquired immunity, we had the figure of 585,880 Covid-assigned deaths out of 32,789,653 positive Covid-19 cases, which figures (Y is what % of X) to be a CFR of 1.79% (CFR=Case Fatality Rate - see here for more on this - which rate is based on confirmed cases, and which are the minority of cases and have been those mostly likely to be tested and to die, since for most of the pandemic those who had symptoms were the most likely to be tested, while a large percentage of persons who test positive never developed any symptoms) Note: there are over 97 countries with a higher CFR than the USA.

As for the IFR (Infection Fatality Rate, meaning Covid-assigned deaths as a % of the estimated total infections, vs. confirmed infections) in the US, an official estimate of the estimated total infections in the US is very hard to find, but the CDC (Dec. 11) provided a figure of 91 Million Estimated Total Infections and at which time there were about 300,000 Covid-assigned deaths (figures are rounded), and which translates into a IFR of 0.33.

Then we have the CMR Crude Morality Rate(Covid-assigned deaths as a % of the total pop.), in which 586,000 deaths as a % of 332,000,000 tot. pop. (using rounded figures) was 0.18%. And with 1,828,684 Covid-assigned deaths worldwide (as of 12–28–20) out of a total world population of 7,800,000,000 people (as of March 2020), then the overall worldwide Covid-19 crude morality rate (CMR) was 0.02.

More recently, (8–3–21) the CFR is 1.75 (630,000 Covid-assigned deaths, rounded, out of 36,000,000 cases, rounded). And worldwide, with 4,252,595 Covid-assigned deaths out of an overall worldwide pop. of 7,883,701,000 then the Covid-19 worldwide crude morality rate is 0.05% Currently the CFR is 1.75 (630,000 Covid-assigned deaths, rounded, out of 36,000,000 cases, rounded,

How can China be held accountable?

There is no legal remedy. The only way is to declare China to be an enemy and cease all contact and deport every Chinaman.

Americans have too much at stake in China.

One can only hope that the people of China revolt against the CCP and force change internally

Correction, there are now 159 countries with higher CFR than the US, not to be confused with deaths per 100,000.

Lindsey Graham could write them a stern letter. Particularly now that he got sick, he could really be mad.

“We” are allowing Joe Biden and his administration to allow nearly 200,000 illegal invaders, many of them infected with Covid and God knows what else to jump our border. Then “We” allow Joe Biden and his administration to fly and bus these same infected illegal invaders willy nilly all around the country. “We” are insane!

I’m a huge fan of Trump, but let’s not forget he went along with the lockdowns early on. By then, the tone and narrative was set.

China knew he and Fauci are germaphobes. They played both of them. Played into Trump’s fears, and Fauci’s power hungry control freakery...and complicity. China made sure they got put together. Talked each other into it.

Trump has few weaknesses. Doesn’t drink or smoke, no drug background, no hidden gayboys. But he has two. Family, and germaphobe. China gamed it all out, launched the biggest disinformation campaign in history, and gambled that Trump could be manipulated.

By the time Trump figured some of it out, it was too late. Pandemia was rolling, took on a life of its own.
