The Declaration That Wasn’t Supposed to Happen
Brownstone Institute ^ | 11/11/23 | JEFFREY A. TUCKER

Posted on 11/14/2023 3:42:12 AM PST by CFW

It’s been a continuing mystery for three years, at least to me but many others too. In October 2020, in the midst of a genuine crisis, three scientists made a very short statement of highly public health wisdom, a summary of what everyone in the profession, apart from a few oddballs, believed only a year earlier. The astonishing frenzy of denunciation following that document’s release was on a level I’ve never seen before, reaching to the highest levels of government and flowing through the whole of media and tech. It was mind-boggling.

For proof that nothing in the document was particularly radical, look no further than the March 2, 2020, letter from Yale University signed by 800 top professionals. It warned against quarantines, lockdowns, closures, and travel restrictions. It said such extreme measures “can undermine public trust, have large societal costs and, importantly, disproportionately affect the most vulnerable segments in our communities.” That document appeared only two weeks before the lockdowns announced by the Trump administration.

That was the period of the grant amnesia. The conventional wisdom turned on a dime toward full backing of regime priorities, a shift more extreme and mind boggling that anything in dystopian fiction.

Seven months later, the Great Barrington Declaration said something very similar to the Yale document. It was a summary statement concerning what governments and society should and should not do during pandemics. They should seek to allow everyone to live as normally as possible in order to avoid guaranteed damage from coerced disruptions. And the vulnerable population – those who would experience medically significant impacts from exposure – should be protected from exposure insofar as doing so is consistent with human rights and choice.

Interesting review of the Covid lockdowns and the rejection of the Great Barrington Declaration.

We need to get our elites one of these so they can feel like they are in control when they are NOT!

In March 2020 they had to convince the American people that the Black Death was sweeping the country, and if you dared to venture out to vote in person you would literally be risking your life.

The SCAM-demic was the sole justification for massive cheat-by-mail-in ballots. It was the only way Basement Joe could win, and it depended on having every 'scientist' on the same page in order for it to work. Hence anyone who voiced opposition to the scam-demic in early 2020 had to be soundly discredited.

The cheat-by-mail-in ballots were such a boon in 2020, that they were used again in 2022 to defeat Kari Lake and Hamade in AZ. Kari Lake is still in court to force them to show the envelopes on the mail-ins and audit the signatures. Maricopa is fighting tooth and nail to prevent this. Just like GA has successfully prevented any inspection of the pre-printed mail-ins already filled out for Biden with no creases, and recently in the news it looks like those ballots have been destroyed because they realized they can't keep delaying until after the 2024 election. In fact, if the mail-ins had not been destroyed, it would most likely have been revealed in the summer of 2024 the extent of the cheating. The Lamestream media can't have that. They have to keep parroting that there is "no evidence of cheating" and anyone who thinks so is a conspiracy kook.

You nailed it.

But we have people in this very forum, ostensible conservatives, who deny the election was stolen via election fraud, enabled by this scamdemic.

Bingo. Covid was a premeditated bio attack on Trump’s reelection. Millions died, trillions spent, an election clumsily stolen, all to get rid of one guy.

Those are the poor BA$TARDS who cannot give up their belief in a system that's presently SCREWING us to death.

You're right... "HandBasketHell" in post #3 stated it very, very well.

I believe the theory that those ballots have been destroyed and that is why the Defendant’s attorneys have filed a Motion to Withdraw from the case. Unfortunately, the judge will probably just overlook the failure to produce those documents and allow the defendants to get away with it.

"Several groups of doctors had already made strong statements against the goings on, including the frontline doctors group on Capitol Hill and the brilliant Bakersfield doctors, among many individuals. However, they were quickly shot down by major media and blasted for failing to support the great undertaking."

Just last week, I was curious about which was more effective, Ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine for tr eating covid. I thought the quickest way would be to look up the Frontier Doctor's treatment protocol. The Bing search for it brought up nothing but derogatory articles about the "bogus" treatment. The conventional wisdom attacks never ended.

I don’t think he did - he declared a State of Emergency, but individual States/Governors/Mayors/Entities took it upon themselves to order lockdowns - we never locked down in Mississippi as a while - nor did Florida....

Doesn’t matter what the major media say. They will propagate a lie just as readily as anybody in the Joe Stolen/”Que mala” Harris regime. The proposed treatments work, and have worked every time they were tried, if applied soon enough in the cycle of the disease.

The COVID-19 Wuhan virus gets stifled and cannot replicate, halting the disease if done before the cytokine storm. If the cytokine storm does occur, the effects of the course of the disease are much amplified, and are the source of most of the deaths resulting from the COVID infection.

I wasn’t aware that the Trump admin. ordered any lockdowns...>>>> The CDC issued guidelines that everyone followed. They follow the guidelines because if they don’t they will get sued and their insurance will not pay. It is simply risk aversion. Companies required the vax ... risk aversion. If you didn’t and someone sued you were screwed. Didn’t follow the guidelines. You assume all the risk. Follow the guidelines and “I was just following orders.”

Maybe the Two weeks to flatten the curve? Trump issued guidelines via the CDC. The rest came from the states who took it too far. I remember when Trump said we didn’t want the cure to be worse than the disease. The opposition rolled him.

Bing is as bad if not worse than Google. Cross check both of those with DuckDuckGo to get even a sense of how strongly the elites are trying to control information.

Quarantine the sick. Protect the vulnerable. Hang the guilty. Free everyone else.
Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

The false positive rate was 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

Quarantine the sick. Protect the vulnerable. Hang the guilty. Free everyone else.

“...lockdowns announced by the Trump administration.”

THAT is a LIE. He turned it back to the STATES to decide, as he should. The Blue States tucked tail and followed marching orders from un-elected bureaucrats. The Red States defied them.

If anyone trusts Mother Government and her Minions from Hell after CovidBS-19, they are a FOOL.

Also, if you trusted her BEFORE. Just sayin’. ;)
