Introduction Since the declaration of a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC), the population has been under the impression that their world has been turned upside-down and inside-out by a globally concerted effort to mitigate the damage from a seasonal respiratory virus.
The actual risk from the virus was not discussed. By the summer of 2020, even a non scientist like myself could determine that people under 60 were largely unaffected. But you had to look for this information. Instead we got a hysteria over “cases,” which for the first time included people who weren’t actually ill. Instead we got mask mandates. Masks were very effective at spreading fear in the absence of information about the true risk. The widespread testing should have shown that the vast majority recovered, but instead the ratio of positives to deaths wasn’t mentioned. The hospital and death numbers were both hyped to the skies by counting every illness and death in the covid tally, even if the person had been admitted for another reason, like terminal cancer. Finally any medical professional who spoke out was demonized. Let’s not forget this disgraceful episode.
Good collection of articles, will be linking this one today @https://nothingnewunderthesun2016.com/
Doc, this is such an outstanding piece of work. Thank you.
