DR. Joel Kettner, professor of Community Health Sciences and Surgery at Manitoba University, former Chief Public Health Officer for Manitoba province and Medical Director of the International Centre for Infectious Diseases, stated in an interview on March 17, 2020:. "We actually do not have that much good evidence for the social distancing methods. It was just a couple of review(s) in the CDC emerging infectious disease journal, which showed that although some of them might work, we really don’t know to what degree and the evidence is pretty weak. [....] I worry about the consequences of social distancing. I worry about people who are losing their jobs. I worry about interruptions with the healthcare system itself. There are many doctors in Manitoba in quarantine right now, because they have returned from other countries. I worry about the message to the public, about the fear of coming into contact with people, being in the same space as people, shaking their hands, having meetings with people. I worry about many, many consequences related to that. If you look at the data for what we are actually dealing with, I want to give this example. In Hubei, in the province of Hubei, where there has been the most cases and deaths by far, the actual number of cases reported is 1 per 1000 people and the actual rate of deaths reported is 1 per 20,000. So maybe that would help to put things…

"OUR main problem is that no one will ever get in trouble for measures that are too draconian. They will only get in trouble if they do too little. So, our politicians and those working with public health do much more than they should do. "No such draconian measures were applied during the 2009 influenza pandemic, and they obviously cannot be applied every winter, which is all year round, as it is always winter somewhere. We cannot close down the whole world permanently. "Should it turn out that the epidemic wanes before long, there will be a queue of people wanting to take credit for this. And we can be damned sure draconian measures will be applied again next time. But remember the joke about tigers. 'Why do you blow the horn?' 'To keep the tigers away.' 'But there are no tigers here.''There you see!'” – Dr Peter Goetzsche, Professor of Clinical Research Design and Analysis at the University of Copenhagen;“Corona: an epidemic of mass panic,” blog post on Deadly Medicines, 21st March 2020.

THE highly-respected journal of infectious diseases published this week its study of COVID-19 in China and 37 other countries. The study is emphatic about the seriousness of the virus. And yet the fatality rate it found is low: 1.4 percent for those infected under 60 (outside China) and 4.5 percent for those over 60:

We collected individual-case data for patients who died from COVID-19 in Hubei, mainland China (reported by national and provincial health commissions to Feb 8, 2020), and for cases outside of mainland China (from government or ministry of health websites and media reports for 37 countries, as well as Hong Kong and Macau, until Feb 25, 2020).

  "WHEN patients concurrently have other illnesses, an infectious agent must not be held solely responsible for a lethal outcome," says Prof. Sucharit Bhakdi, M.D., who lives in Germany and made this interview on March 19, 2020. Air pollution in China and Northern Italy were probably factors in higher death rates from COVID-19. In terms of air pollution, "Northern Italy is the China of Europe. The lungs of inhabitants there have been chronically injured over decades." Most importantly, he says, those who test positive for COVID-19 at time of death have not necessarily died of the virus. Bhakdi exudes intelligence, sincerity and profound alarm. The isolation and lockdown measures currently being taken are "grotesque, absurd and very dangerous." "All these measures are leading to self-destruction and collective suicide because of nothing but a spook."  

FROM “COVID-19: The Real Truth,” by Shannon Rowan and John Hamer [abridged]:

The COVID-19 outbreak is at its core a Transhumanist agenda serving to influence humanity into viewing itself as a pathogen, a plague upon the earth, in much need of correction and control.

Transhumanists believe that it is inevitable that humans merge with machine and that this transformation is somehow necessary for our own good and survival as well as that of our planet and also part of a ‘natural’ process they call ‘evolution.’ The pandemic scare helps to further this agenda.

BRAZILIAN President Jair Bolsonaro has defied the World Health Organization and refused to shut down the country’s economy. He called the coronavirus “a little flu.”

“The virus is here, we’re going to have to confront it. Confront it like a man, not a boy! We’re all going to die one day.”

Meanwhile, the international media tries to take the “far-right” president down. Bolsonaro has also said he doesn’t want “gay tourists” in his country. (more…)

From an interview on Clarin.com, March 9, 2020 [Source: OffGuardian]:

“The ill-founded opinions expressed by international experts, replicated by the media and social networks repeat the unnecessary panic that we have previously experienced. The coronavirus identified in China in 2019 caused nothing less than a strong cold or flu, with no difference so far with cold or flu as we know… (more…)

Visited your website.

You are too logical.

The social control artists are exploiting fear-of-death-induced panic and control. The world is not a logical place and we limit the effectiveness of our messages by appealing to logic. They show pictures of a dead baby, many coffins, homeless being herded, patients lying on hospital floors, it is those images that provoke fear.  Our messages can’t compete. They make it appear they have all the weapons, ventilators, masks, chloroquine, etc.

If we can put something in their hands — vitamin C, etc., then just for placebo effect it works to allay panic. (more…)

  THE New York Post is touting this obviously staged video of corpses in Brooklyn being loaded onto a refrigerated truck allegedly full of victims of the coronavirus: The coronavirus pandemic has slammed New York City so hard that health care workers are using forklifts to load dead bodies into refrigerated trucks, according to a viral video. The 5-minute and 32-second clip posted to YouTube shows medical officials helping to load the corpses in body bags into the mobile morgue outside Brooklyn Hospital Center in Fort Greene, according to a man shooting the clip who does not identify himself. Anyone with any experience with modern hospitals knows that bodies are usually transported from hospitals by funeral homes and, in any event, are not left out in the open on sidewalks. The death count in New York, even if you accept all the cases being presented by officials as deaths actually caused by the virus rather than deaths of people who have tested positive for it and had other serious conditions, is not so great as to create this kind of body crisis or this sort of break with protocols, which probably violates the city's sanitary laws. On an average day in New York City, someone dies every nine minutes. New York hospitals are used to processing dozens of bodies and the alleged deaths from coronavirus would be spread out over numerous hospitals. Notice in the official figures given, we are not told…
