Time for another Wuhan panic update

Democrats might soon enter the Truth booth
When it comes to the COVID lie, we are all being forced
to enter that door.

This update will be a relatively short one, but it will once again demonstrate, with data, that the claims by politicians and government health officials that COVID required draconian restrictions on the lives of Americans were utterly wrong, and they were so wrong it proved those politicians or officials were either filled with malice or were completely incompetent.

This report by the way merely supplements earlier reports, of which just a few can be found here, here, here, here, here, here, and here. And these are only my reports since July. If you search Behind the Black going back to 2020 you will find many more stories backing up this new evidence.

All in all, the panic over COVID has simply provided more damning evidence that the so-called elites who run our society are generally bankrupt, have incredibly poor judgment, and should be fired as soon as possible.

The claim: The COVID shots protect you from COVID!

Nope. The jab apparently does nothing to stop you from getting the Wuhan flu, and Dr. Rochelle Walensky, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), recently proved it. Despite getting five different COVID jabs, she still came down with COVID for the second time. Note too that she got the Wuhan flu this second time after also undergoing a full course of the antiviral Paxlovid, also recommended by CDC.

Nor is this oft seen anecdote the only evidence. A new study also found that the most recent version of the mRNA jab actually did a worse job protecting patients from the newer variants of COVID.

The new shots work no better than the original mRNA shots to produce antibodies specifically targeting the Omicron variant.

And the Omicron shots are even WORSE than the original boosters in producing T-cells that target Omicron, according to the researchers, part of a group led by Dr. Dan Barouch, a highly respected virologist. This finding is of particular concern because T-cells, the second line of the immune system, keep infections from becoming too severe.

Nor is this all. Despite doing little to prevent COVID, another study in Switzerland found that the jab injures the heart in all recipients.

A Swiss study found elevated levels of the protein troponin in all of the mRNA COVID-19 vaccine recipients it analyzed, indicating the shots are routinely causing heart injury.

Further, up to 1 in 27 of the vaccinated people in the study showed levels associated with subclinical myocarditis, the British website Daily Sceptic reported.

Similarly, a Thai study published in August found elevated troponin levels or cardiac symptoms after COVID vaccination indicative of myocarditis or pericarditis in seven (3.5%) of 200 boys. A study published in January by the Journal of the American Medical Association based on data from the CDC’s Vaccine and Adverse Events Reporting System, or VAERS, found 1,991 reports of myocarditis after receipt of at least one shot and 684 separate reports of pericarditis.

The story also relates a number of other research studies, all of which show that getting the jab is very very risky. While for the majority of patients, it does no visible harm — in the short run — for a sizeable minority it immediately causes serious health problems, some of which lead immediately to death.

What consequences millions will face in the long run due to getting the jab remains utterly unknown, though the dreadful possibilities remain terrifying.

Oh boy! What would have done without this great government leadership, mandating the jab on millions!?

The claim: COVID was the cause of millions of deaths of healthy ordinary people

This claim was always bogus. From the beginning of the panic the evidence consistently showed that COVID was harmless to the young and the healthy, that it generally only killed those who were old, in poor condition, or sick with other chronic illnesses. However, a new study in Finland has provided more evidence, finding that up to 40 percent of the deaths reported in that country during the panic as COVID-caused were actually fraudulent.

Finland has become one of the first countries to uncover evidence that state agencies around the world committed fraud in their Covid deaths reporting during the pandemic.

The blockbuster report sheds light on how public health agencies around the world overhyped ‘Covid-related deaths’ in order to drive mass hysteria. According to Sirkka Goebeler, chief specialist at the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare (THL), Covid-19 has not been the actual cause of death in up to 40 percent of fatalities attributed to the illness in Finland. As a result, they will not end up in Statistics Finland’s official data as coronavirus deaths.

In other words, health officials in Finland had been overhyping the danger of the virus. In this they can be proud, as they were simply doing the same thing as corrupt health officials in most countries worldwide, feeding into the fear and panic to make people more afraid and panicky.

The claim: COVID overloaded emergency rooms in 2020, which is why care was denied to others

Nope. Though there was ample evidence at the time that emergency rooms were not being overloaded, the charts at this report show without doubt that in New York City at least the number of emergency room patients actually plummeted in the spring of 2020.

Not only were tens of thousands of New Yorkers denied emergency room care (with many dying needlessly) so as to leave room for imaginary COVID patients who never materialized, tens of thousands of others died in nursing homes because then-governor Andrew Cuomo sent sick COVID patients into those nursing homes in order to keep more space available in the hospitals and emergency rooms.

Once again, our government leaders do the worse possible thing. We must all be grateful.

The claim: We need to close schools and lock down the economy to save lives!

This in many ways might be the vilest claim of all. The lockdowns and school closures bankrupted millions and did great harm to children, facts that were obvious at the time. The evidence however is now pouring in to confirm these obvious common sense facts.

For example, a new study has found that the school closures did nothing to protect young children from COVID. In fact, the research strongly suggests the school closures might have actually increased the number of child-related COVID deaths, probably because isolated children had no opportunity to build up their immune systems and were thus more vulnerable to the virus.

The District of Columbia had the highest number of children who died with coronavirus per capita (12 deaths equating to 95 deaths per million children), even though its schools were almost completely closed for the 2020-2021 school year, with its school coronavirus policies arguably the most draconian in the nation. Wyoming, which has a nearly identical population size to D.C. and whose schools remained open more than any other state, had the fewest deaths per capita (zero).

Nor are these locations the only ones that demonstrate how useless the school closures were. Across the nation, the states that kept the schools open routinely experienced fewer deaths than the schools that shut down.

And then there is Sweden, which imposed no lock downs, no mask rules, no social distancing, no school closures, and no serious quarantine efforts. Instead, it treated COVID as simply another variation of the flu, and focused on protecting the old and sickly while letting everyone else live their lives normally. The result?

Sweden did much, much better – ten times better than Chile, in fact, notorious for having the strictest lockdowns ‘despite’ also having one of the most ‘successful’ vaccination campaigns.

As of reporting date June 19th 2022, of all the countries analysed by the OECD, Sweden has the lowest overall cumulative excess deaths tally.

The data at this link is striking. Sweden had the fewest excess deaths, nine times less than the U.S.

Once again, we must thank our government and health officials in the U.S. for this striking result. You panicked, and thus killed millions for no reason, while destroying the lives of millions of others for less reason.

I could go on but why belabor the point. Almost all the leaders who set policy during the Wuhan panic got it wrong. And in most cases, they got it wrong despite ample evidence at the time, showing them they were getting it wrong. Worse, even now, two years later, these same officials refuse to admit to error, and continue to insist they are the alpha and omega of all knowledge when it comes to science. In fact, they are “The Science,” as Anthony Fauci insisted at one point. How dare anyone criticize them?!

But they were wrong, and that many remain in positions of power speaks ill not of them, but of ourselves for allowing it.

Genesis cover

On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.

 
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.


The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
 

"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

    All of these health officials share the same view, apparently – that there are too many humans and depopulation would be a good thing. Odd that the Swedes don’t have the same self harm urge, but horrific that the rest of the world does.

  • Thanks for this. And thank God we enough cooler heads prevailed in Democratic Socialist Sweden! For a broader summary, that goes beyond the harms linked esp. to overrought Covid policy and into the vax-harms, see my “The Seven Sins of the Covid/Vax Disaster.” PostModernConservative, substack.

  • Stephen J.

    I blame JAWS. Ever since that movie came out the one thing all public officials have been terrified of is being seen as the Mayor of Amity, the guy who ignored the warnings and got people killed. Not because they care about people dying, but because they care about their careers being destroyed by the blame.

    As a result, every one of them thinks it’s politically safer to overreact to a false alarm than to under-react to a real one.

  • Arlo,

    I agree, but isn’t it strange that the Swedes used to be on the cutting edge of the self immolation front. First in abortion, first in gender transition, first in whatever the libertine ideal of the day is. Have they gone so far that they’ve become the first post-post-postmodern society?

    “As a result, every one of them thinks it’s politically safer to overreact to a false alarm than to under-react to a real one.”

    Jaws, an excellent analogy.

    It is the all Strategy nature of the self-interested politically empowered beast.

    From a quote in Robert’s essay: “According to Sirkka Goebeler, chief specialist at the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare (THL), Covid-19 has not been the actual cause of death in up to 40 percent of fatalities attributed to the illness in Finland.

    This is very believable. From late spring or early summer of 2020 through most of 2021, deaths due to flu (other than Wuhan flu) and due to pneumonia had virtually disappeared from the U.S. as well as the rest of the world. In the U.S., every death that could be associated with Wuhan flu were reported as being due to Wuhan flu. Even traffic deaths of people who tested positive for Wuhan virus were caught being reported as being caused by the Wuhan flu, so it is reasonable to conclude that virtually all respiratory deaths and many others were reported falsely as being caused by Wuhan flu. Since the U.S. government paid tens of thousands of dollars — called a compensation — to medical and care facilities for these deaths, or rather for reporting these deaths, we see a tremendous financial incentive to report every death possible as being a Wuhan flu death.

    Truth was an early casualty of this disease.

    Stephen J. suggested: “I blame JAWS. … As a result, every one of them thinks it’s politically safer to overreact to a false alarm than to under-react to a real one.

    That makes sense, but governmental overreaction began before that movie (and book) came out. Even before Time Magazine warned us of the coming Ice Age, government was telling us how to prevent global cooling from occurring. These mitigation orders worked so well that we soon had to worry about global warming. And that mitigation worked so well (the temperatures stabilized) that we now have to worry about climates changing, as though they haven’t been changing since the beginning of recorded history.

    Since changing climates are not a threat to local populations or to the global population, our governments needed something else to justify telling us what to do, when to do it, how to do it, why to do it, what to say and not say, what to wear, where to go and not go, and to stop practicing our religions. Wuhan fit the bill.

    Despite government claims that global-cooling/global-warming/climate-change were an emergency as an existential threat, no one believes them, so we fail to obey. Because climate was getting them nowhere,* busybody (Karen) governments took advantage of the Wuhan flu to do what we would not to for the weather/climate/whatever.

    * We have until the year 2000 to fix the problem, otherwise it will be too late. That was the claim in the late 1980s. Then the claim was for years such as 2016, and now 2030, but even California isn’t able to solve the problem until at least 2035. However, the problem was solved around 1996, when the U.S. reduced its CO2 emissions enough to stop global warming. We Americans are the heroes who saved the world, but instead of getting credit, we are still blamed, even though China and India continue to increase their emissions and Brazil burns down its CO2 sink, the Amazon rain forest.

    As for the claim that the temperature will increase and the seas will rise by the year 2100, they have not been doing either during the first quarter of the century.

  • I believe that climate change is natural. Now it is a moneymaker for people.

    From – believe it or not, the Washington Post

    “For the first time, a majority of Americans dying from the coronavirus received at least the primary series of the vaccine.

    It’s a continuation of a troubling trend that has emerged over the past year. As vaccination rates have increased and new variants appeared, the share of deaths of people who were vaccinated has been steadily rising. In September 2021, vaccinated people made up just 23 percent of coronavirus fatalities. In January and February this year, it was up to 42 percent, per our colleagues Fenit Nirappil and Dan Keating.

    “We can no longer say this is a pandemic of the unvaccinated,” Cox told The Health 202.”

    But they try to save face

    “Being unvaccinated is still a major risk factor for dying from covid-19. But efficacy wanes over time, and an analysis out last week from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention highlights the need to get regular booster shots to keep one’s risk of death from the coronavirus low, especially for the elderly.”
