Because it's not about the facts, it's about the narrative: and then using the narrative, about money and power. Thanks, lightman. *PING* to the rest of you.
I'm guessing there are still real scientists in the world - and they tend to get things right. But this pandemic information was passed to celebrity "scientists" - and they're the same folks who freaked about global cooling, global warming, peak oil, ozone hole, population bomb etc etc etc. And THEY made it a freak out and caused the panic.
Ok, now I'm going to go back and finish readying the article to find out the actual answer.
There were conservatives who went soft on the fear mongering because they were eager to blame the disease on the Chinese or the illegals. And then there were conservatives who accepted masking because doctors wear them around open wounds.
This guy is proud of himself for guessing 300-600k would die of Covid, based on the CDC report that 550k died, right in his range.
Doesn’t he realize those people died with Covid and not of it?
My prediction was far closer: zero.
Covid was a hoax whereby people dying of any cause while testing positive for Covid, were counted as Covid deaths.
Missing from this article is the deceptive denigration of effective therapeutics such as HCQ and Ivermectin in the name of emergency approval for pharmaceutical profit centers.
No, the risk was NEVER correct. Scott Atlas’s book shows that they were all the time missing the total number of cases precisely because it was NOT deadly, that most people had a mild flu and never reported, that the tests were terrible, and that the real number of cases was several orders of magnitude greater than those known.
In other words, the death rate was very small.
The vaunted Imperial College of London and the physician-revered Lancet both seriously discredited themselves with flawed “ analysis” at the outset and during the event
A review of the data manipulation early-on used by the Imperial College to project mortality was sad and scandalous ( sorry have lost the sourcing that reviewed this)…yet that was the alarmist data used to influence Trump’s decisions….
Only time and history are going to rid us of the apologists for their past failures.
And will we ever get honest reflections of how many “ covid deaths” were actually caused by willful lack of treatment with HCQ or IVM, and how many were killed by dysfunctional but mandated use of remdesivir and ventilators
Nope
Got the risk wrong too jerkoff author
A huge steaming pantload. They just cannot let it go. Lockdowns were not REALLY lockdowns, Sweden really wasn’t so free after all. And I notice this assclown skims right over three critical facts.
One, the flu completely disappeared during the pandemic. It went to almost zero.
Two, a massive majority of the deaths were medical misadventure, to be polite. Remdesivir to kill the kidneys, them pump with fluids while under complete sedation on a machine, and no family allowed in? That’s a straight up a recipe for death.
And three, there was massive death certificate fraud where dying within 6 weeks or whatever of a positive test was considered death by covid.
risk was inflated
The author is an idiot. Not much of a mea culpa.
I pretty sure they got it all wrong.
When I studied the Covid versus Flu issue several years ago, the first thing I noticed was that people who died with Covid AND pneumonia were classified as Covid fatalities 100% of the time.
The exact opposite happens when people with influenza AND pneumonia die. In that case, at least 80% of those deaths are classified as pneumonia deaths - NOT influenza deaths.
I have read hundreds of pages of state and federal Cause of Death instructions.
I have not seen any rule based decision tree for choosing - or not choosing - pneumonia as the cause of death when Covid or influenza are also present.
Since doctors and hospitals were financially incentivized to choose Covid as the cause of death, that, in my opinion, is exactly what happened on a massive scale.
More self-declared covid19 expert BS.
I don’t think they even got the risk right considering the lengths they had to go to to kill off the old people and fudge the numbers with nonsense like conflating dying FROM Covid and dying WITH Covid.
No one would listen to us anyway. The propagandists won and they will always win when they have the media on their side.
We were just one week away from being forced to get the jab. No option unless you were okay with not working, okay with starving to death.
Proof that evil wins.
What bee ess. Trump was RIGHT, you clown.
