“If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.”
Carl Sagan, Science as a Candle in the Dark

 

I am not alone in concluding that extreme social isolation to stop the corona virus is not supported by scientific research. Here are fifty public health experts who disagree with the mass hysteria media:

#1 Dr. John Ioannidis, Professor of Medicine at Stanford University, wrote: “Better information is needed to guide decisions and actions of monumental significance…Draconian countermeasures have been adopted… How can policymakers tell if they are doing more good than harm?

A population-wide case fatality rate of 0.05% (for the Corona Virus) is lower than seasonal influenza. If that is the true rate, locking down the world with potentially tremendous social and financial consequences may be totally irrational. It’s like an elephant being attacked by a house cat. Frustrated and trying to avoid the cat, the elephant accidentally jumps off a cliff and dies.

https://www.statnews.com/2020/03/17/a-fiasco-in-the-making-as-the-coronavirus-pandemic-takes-hold-we-are-making-decisions-without-reliable-data/

#2 Professor Sucharit Bhakdi, Head of the Institute for Medical Microbiology and Hygiene at Gutenberg University in Germany, has been even more outspoken, calling lock down measures “useless, self-destructive and collective suicide. The horrifying impact on the world economy threatens the existence of countless people.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbnBjuPT4l4

Professor Bhakdi also notes that the Corona Virus has been much more lethal in Northern Italy and China than in the rest of the world. He then points out that these two areas have among the worst air pollution in the world and that the harm air pollution does to the lungs may be the primary reason there were more fatalities in these two regions. (We will explore this issue later in our analysis).

#3 Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg is a German physician specializing in Pulmonology (lung disease). He opposes extreme social isolation because it is based on a lack of accurate data and is being driven by drug companies looking to make money off of the crisis. Here are quotes from his website: https://www.wodarg.com/

“What is missing right now is a rational way of looking at things. There is no valid data and no evidence of exceptional health threats.”

“These are undisputed facts: The official mortality statistics, which are still available, and various national flu monitoring institutes show the normal course of the curves. The seasonal "flu" is as usual.”

“Corona viruses are and have always been there. They have always made up 7% to 15% of all viruses and all flu fatalities. This year is no different. Corona viruses, influenza viruses and other viruses have to change continuously. There are more than 100 different types of viruses and they all change every year. So "new" viruses are normal.”

“Politicians and scientists all looking for fame play off of each other by making ever bigger claims to scare the public.”

#4 Doctor Pietro Vernazza, is a Swiss physician specializing Infectious Diseases at the Cantonal Hospital St. Gallen and Professor of Health Policy. On March 20, 2020, he summarized an article published in Science magazine by stating:

“The result (of the study) is told quite simply: Around 85% (82-90%) of all infections occurred without anyone noticing the infection. About 55% of the undetected infections infected other people. We have actually suspected this for a long time. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to explain that the number of infections in China dropped to zero after a few weeks. We must inform the public and speak plainly. This infection is mild for young people. Fear is not a good guide. (We have been mistakenly told that) about one in ten people diagnosed die in Italy. But as we now know from this science work, this should be one of 1,000 infected people (because 99% of the infected were never diagnosed).”

Based on these findings, Dr. Vernazza recommended re-opening the public schools. Here is a link to the study Dr. Vernazza felt was so important: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/32179701

Here is a quote from the study: “We estimate 86% of all infections (in China in January 2020) were undocumented. Per person, the transmission rate of undocumented infections was 55% of documented infections, yet, due to their greater numbers, undocumented infections were the infection source for 79% of documented cases. These findings explain the rapid geographic spread of SARS-CoV2 (the Corona virus) and indicate containment of this virus will be particularly challenging.”

Put in plain English, it will be impossible to stop the spread of the Corona virus due to the huge numbers of people that get it without any visible symptoms.

#5 Dr Joel Kettner, professor of Community Health Sciences and Surgery at Manitoba University states: “ I have never seen anything like this. I’m not talking about the pandemic, because I’ve seen 30 of them, one every year. It is called influenza. But I’ve never seen this reaction, and I’m trying to understand why. 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 into perspective. The other part is we actually do not have that much good evidence for the social distancing methods.  The evidence is pretty weak. I worry about the consequences of social distancing. I worry about people who are losing their jobs.”

#6 Dr. Yoram Lass is an Israeli physician and former Director General of the Health Ministry and Associate Dean of the Tel Aviv University Medical School. In a March 22, 2020 article called Lock Down Lunacy, he says:

“It is wrong to shut down the entire country because of a virus that is ultimately less of a killer than the flu. In every country, more people die from regular flu compared with those who die from the corona virus. Italy is known for its enormous morbidity in respiratory problems, more than three times any other European country. In the US about 40,000 people die in a regular flu season. The media is only trumpeting hysteria.

“In China they stopped the virus because of natural immunity, which they've forgotten to talk about. What stopped the swine flu pandemic and what generally stops viruses? Whoever thinks that the government ends viruses is completely wrong. What really happens? The body creates antibodies to shut down and prevent the disease. The chain of infection is broken and the virus comes to a halt."

“We are in a clear situation of mass hysteria prevailing over science. I present to you some numbers and statistics that demonstrate that the genie is not terrible. But we have become monstrously hysterical. Entire peoples are undergoing some sort of group insanity process. You need courage to present an opposing position.

“Here are some examples of how we take risks every day. Because we drive cars, every day people die in car accidents. If we stopped driving cars, we could save many lives. But we do not stop driving cars. We accept the risk. (Because of extreme social isolation policies) millions have lost their jobs. Many more will die from heart attacks and anxiety or depression as a result of this. Life for everybody is destroyed but because of the anxiety everybody is falling into line with one opinion. It is an 'Orwellian' process: one people, one flag, one anxiety."

“A government cannot stop a virus. It's impossible to stop a virus by government decree. Every virus creates antibodies. What stops a virus is natural immunity. Our bodies create natural immunity and so the chain of infection is broken and in this way the virus is ended, otherwise it would continue. Whoever thinks that governments end viruses is wrong.” https://en.globes.co.il/en/article-lockdown-lunacy-1001322696

#7 Dr. Frank Ulrich Montgomery is German radiologist, former President of the German Medical Association and Deputy Chairman of the World Medical Association. On March 18, 2020, he said: I'm not a fan of lock down. Anyone who imposes something like this must also say when and how to pick it up again. Since we have to assume that the virus will be with us for a long time, I wonder when we will return to normal? You can't keep schools and day care centers closed until the end of the year. Because it will take at least that long until we have a vaccine. Italy has imposed a lock down and has the opposite effect. They quickly reached their capacity limits, but did not slow down the virus spread within the lock down.” https://www.general-anzeiger-bonn.de/news/politik/deutschland/interview-mit-weltaerztepraesident-montgomery-ueber-corona-pandemie-ist-chaos_aid-49609561

#8 Dr. Henrik Streeck is a professor of virology, and the director of the Institute of Virology and HIV Research, at Bonn University. On March 16, 2020, he stated: “The typical Covid 19 patient shows only mild symptoms. This is also the result of a Chinese study from Shenzhen, which found that 91 percent of those infected show only mild to moderate symptoms… You also have to take into account that the Sars-CoV-2 deaths in Germany were exclusively old people. In Heinsberg, for example, a 78-year-old man with previous illnesses died of heart failure, and that without Sars-2 lung involvement. Since he was infected, he naturally appears in the Covid 19 statistics. But the question is whether he would not have died anyway, even without Sars-2. Around 2,500 people die in Germany every day.”

#9 Dr. Michael Osterman is the director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota. On March 21, 2020, in an article titled “A National Lock down is No Cure”, he said: “We have to ask what we hope to accomplish with limited self-quarantines and shelter-in-place directives. Clearly, as one objective, we seek to “flatten the curve” in an effort to keep our already overburdened health-care system from being overrun. “

But how do we actually accomplish this? What happens after a several-week moratorium on normal activity? Does the president, governor or mayor declare another?

China and Italy have imposed near-draconian lock downs in an effort to halt the spread of covid-19. But how and when will these two “test” nations return to normal life? And when they do, will there be a major second wave of cases?

We don’t, for example, have good data on the real impact of closing public and private K-12 schools on the spread of covid-19. Hong Kong and Singapore, advanced city-states that experienced the outbreak early, both attempted to respond quickly and efficiently. Hong Kong closed schools; Singapore did not, and there was hardly any difference in the rate of transmission.

The second-order effect of shutting schools is that hardest hit will be those least able to afford to miss work to care for home bound children. Consider the effect of shutting down offices, schools, transportation systems, restaurants, hotels, stores, theaters, concert halls, sporting events and other venues indefinitely and leaving all of their workers unemployed and on the public dole. The likely result would be not just a depression but a complete economic breakdown, with countless permanently lost jobs, long before a vaccine is ready or natural immunity takes hold.

The best alternative will probably entail letting those at low risk for serious disease continue to work, keep business and manufacturing operating, and “run” society, while at the same time advising higher-risk individuals to protect themselves through physical distancing.With this battle plan, we could gradually build up immunity without destroying the financial structure on which our lives are based. Very soon, we may have to acknowledge that attempting to stretch out cases in the hopes of keeping the curve reasonably flat is unworkable.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/03/21/facing-covid-19-reality-national-lockdown-is-no-cure/

#10 Dr. David Katz is an American physician and founding director of the Yale University Prevention Research Center. On March 20, 2020, he said: “I am deeply concerned that the social, economic and public health consequences of this near-total meltdown of normal life — schools and businesses closed, gatherings banned — will be long-lasting and calamitous, possibly graver than the direct toll of the virus itself. The stock market will bounce back in time, but many businesses never will. The unemployment, impoverishment and despair likely to result will be public health scourges of the first order.” https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/20/opinion/coronavirus-pandemic-social-distancing.html

#11 Dr. Peter Goetzsche is Professor of Clinical Research Design and Analysis at the University of Copenhagen and founder of the Cochrane Medical Collaboration. He has written several books on corruption in the field of medicine and the power of big pharmaceutical companies. On March 21, 2020, he wrote:

“Is it evidence-based healthcare to close schools and universities, cancel flights and meetings, forbid travel, and to isolate people wherever they happen to fall ill? The harms include suicides that go up in times of unemployment, and when people’s businesses built up carefully over many years lie in ruins, they might kill themselves. Where does this stop? Logic was one of the first victims.”

“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!” https://www.deadlymedicines.dk/corona-an-epidemic-of-mass-panic/

#12 Dr. Stefan Hockertz is a immunologist and toxicologist. in the YouTube video linked below, he stated: “ The dangerousness of the SARS-CoV-2 corona virus is comparable to the well-known influenza that we had in previous years. "Corona" is not the plague, it is not Ebola. Even measles is more dangerous. The measures taken are excessive.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wfb-B0BWmo&feature=youtu.be

#13 Dr. Didier Raoult is one of the world’s top 5 scientists on communicable diseases. He argued that the approach of mass quarantine is both inefficient and outdated and that large-scale testing and treatment of suspected cases achieves far better results. https://www.globalresearch.ca/covid-19-fight-cure-western-pharma-rip-off/5707360

#14 Virologist Doctor Karin Molling stated: “Corona is not a serious killer virus! The scaremongering is the problem.” https://www.radioeins.de/programm/sendungen/die_profis/archivierte_sendungen/beitraege/corona-virus-kein-killervirus.html

#15 Dr. Pablo Goldschmidt, Argentinean virologist and biochemist stated: “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 corona virus 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.” https://www.clarin.com/buena-vida/coronavirus-panico-injustificado-dice-virologo-argentino-francia_0_yVcmJ4RM.html

#16 Dr. Julian Nida-Ruemelin former German Minister of State stated that the corona virus: “poses no risk to the general healthy population and therefore extreme measures such as curfews should be ended.” https://www.zdf.de/nachrichten/zdf-morgenmagazin/julian-nida-ruemelin-zur-corona-krise-100.html

#17 Dr. Giulio Tarro, famous Italian virologist stated: “the overall clinical consequences of COVD-19 could ultimately be similar to that of severe seasonal flu, which has a lethality rate of around 0.1%.” https://www.cybermednews.eu/index.php/it/health/70871-interview-to-the-virologist-giulio-tarro-the-death-rate-of-covid-19-is-less-than-1-as-confirmed-by-the-national-institute-of-allergy-and-infectious-diseases

 

#18 & 19 Dr. Eran Benavid and Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, Professors of Medicine at Stanford University wrote: “The true fatality rate is the portion of those infected who die, not the deaths from identified cases. These numbers imply a fatality rate from Covid-19 orders of magnitude smaller than it appears. This does not make Covid-19 a nonissue. The reports from Italy and across the U.S. show real struggles. But a 40,000-death epidemic is a far less severe problem than one that kills two million.” https://web.archive.org/web/20200325103650/https://www.wsj.com/articles/is-the-coronavirus-as-deadly-as-they-say-11585088464

#20 Dr. Anders Tegnell, Sweden Chief Epidemiologist, stated: "The Swedish way can be epidemiologically reduced to two basic rules. Older people or people with previous health problems should be isolated as much as possible. The other rule is: Anyone with symptoms should stay at home immediately, even with the slightest cough. If you follow these two rules, you don't need any further measures, the effect of which is only very marginal anyway,"

Note: Sweden has one of the lowest rates of Corona virus fatalities per million population in Europe. Kindergartens and schools up to grade nine are open, children play on the playgrounds, and soccer is played on the soccer fields. Most businesses remain open. There has been no rush to the hospitals in Sweden. https://www.zeit.de/politik/ausland/2020-03/coronavirus-schweden-stockholm-oeffentliches-leben/komplettansicht

#21 Dr. John Lee, retired Professor of Pathology, Great Britain, wrote: “Statistically, we would expect about 51,000 to die in Britain this month. At the time of writing, 422 deaths are linked to Covid-19 — so 0.8 per cent of that expected total. On a global basis, we’d expect 14 million to die over the first three months of the year. The world’s 18,944 corona virus deaths represent 0.14 per cent of that total… That puts the Covid-19 mortality rate in the range associated with infections like flu. One pretty clear indicator is death. If a new infection is causing many extra people to die (as opposed to an infection present in people who would have died anyway) then it will cause an increase in the overall death rate. But we have yet to see any statistical evidence for excess deaths, in any part of the world.”

“Covid-19 can clearly cause serious respiratory tract compromise in some patients, especially those with chest issues, and in smokers. The moral debate is not lives vs money. It is lives vs lives. It will take months, perhaps years, if ever, before we can assess the wider implications of what we are doing. The damage to children’s education, the excess suicides, the increase in mental health problems, the taking away of resources from other health problems. We have decided on policies of extraordinary magnitude without concrete evidence of excess harm already occurring, and without proper scrutiny of the science used to justify them.” https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/The-evidence-on-Covid-19-is-not-as-clear-as-we-think

#22 Dr. Richard Schabas, former Chief Medical Officer of Ontario, stated: “The number of deaths was comparable to an average influenza season… We need to be sensible. Quarantine belongs back in the Middle Ages. Save your masks for robbing banks. Stay calm and carry on. Let’s not make our attempted cures worse than the disease.”

#23 Dr. Michael Levitt, Nobel Prize winning Biochemist from Stanford University stated his “models do not support predictions the corona virus will stick around for months or years and cause millions of deaths... What we need is to control the panic...we’re going to be fine.” Levitt is also worried that an overreaction could trigger another crisis, with lost jobs and hopelessness creating their own set of problems, such as a surge in suicide rate. https://thehill.com/changing-america/well-being/prevention-cures/489415-nobel-laureate-predicts-us-will-experience

#24 Dr. Shiva Ayyadurai, Immune system specialist from MIT and founder of System Health, wrote in an open letter to President Trump: “The current trajectory of Dr. Anthony Fauci’s public “health” policy will result in the short- and long-term destruction of our citizen’s immune health as well as the nation’s economic health. We have been led down the path of corporate solutions – espoused by the likes of Dr. Fauci and his colleagues at the CDC – that is not in the best interest of the American people.”  https://shiva4senate.com/immune-and-economic-health-for-america-coronavirus/

#25 Dr. Michael Burry wrote in an email to Bloomberg News that: “Universal stay-at-home is the most devastating economic force in modern history. And it is man-made. It very suddenly reverses the gains of underprivileged groups, kills and creates drug addicts, beats and terrorizes women and children in violent now-jobless households, and more. It bleeds deep anguish and suicide.”

“Unconscionable,” is how he described job losses in the US, which have caused a once-unthinkable 10 million people to apply for unemployment benefits in the past two weeks. Every day, every week in the current situation is ruining innumerable lives in a criminally unjust manner. Germany and Japan have been more measured in their responses and offer a model for the rest of the world.”

#26 Dr. Daniel Jeanmonod, professor of Neurosurgery at Zurich University wrote: Fear and panic were kindled by two inaccurate scientific communications and spread over the whole planet like a bush fire, causing the chaos we observe every day on the News. In the intensive and extensive, worldwide field of the corona crisis, an open, deep, careful, multidimensional and thus unbiased study of the whole situation with presentation of pros and cons and risk/benefit balance analyses is fundamental. https://off-guardian.org/2020/04/07/think-deep-do-good-science-and-do-not-panic

#27 Dr. Knut Wittkowski, New York City, stated:
“With all respiratory diseases, the only thing that stops the disease is herd immunity. About 80% of the people need to have had contact with the virus, and the majority of them won’t even have recognized that they were infected, or they had very, very mild symptoms, especially if they are children. So, it’s very important to keep the schools open and kids mingling to spread the virus to get herd immunity as fast as possible. In China and in South Korea, social distancing started only long after the number of infections had already started to decline, and therefore had very little impact on the epidemic. In the end, we will see more death because the school children don’t die, it’s the elderly people who die, we will see more death because of this social distancing.”

“If we had herd immunity now, there couldn’t be a second wave in autumn. Herd immunity lasts for a couple of years, However, if we are preventing herd immunity from developing, it is almost guaranteed that we have a second wave as soon as either we stop the social distancing or the climate changes with winter coming. The second wave is a direct consequence of social distancing.”

“One thing we definitely need to do, and that would be safe and effective, is opening schools. Let the children spread the virus among themselves, which is a necessity to get herd immunity. That was probably one of the most destructive actions the government has done. We should focus on the elderly and separating them from the population where the virus is circulating. We should not prevent the virus from circulating among school children, which is the fastest way to create herd immunity. https://ratical.org/PerspectivesOnPandemic-II.html

On April 28, 2020, Dr. Wittkowski gave a second interview posted to YouTube in which he stated: “Cases of the corona virus are dropping all over the world. On April 17, the Director of the CDC, Dr. Redfield, presented this graph at the Presidential Briefing. Here is a link to this graph: https://www.cdc.gov/flu/weekly/index.htm

There are three peaks. One at the end of December, one in February and then the third peak in the middle of Week 12 on March 18 - and that was the corona virus. This means the top number of infections must have occurred on March 8, 2020. This is because it takes a week to have symptoms and another few days before your symptoms are bad enough to go to the hospital.”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0Q4naYOYDw&feature=em-uploademail

“If infections peaked on March 8, shutting down schools and the economy 10 days later – after the corona virus was already declining – is something that is totally absurd. Costing 26 million people their jobs is heartless. New York hospitals were not overflowing… they were laying off people.”

“Peak hospitalization admissions in the US was in the middle of week 12 on March 18… It was known to everybody that the economic lock down would cause a catastrophe. If you shutdown the economy, you will create hardship at a scale that is difficult to imagine. The distancing is not effective. Isolating the nursing homes would have been much more effective in preventing hospitals from becoming overloaded. Not letting children develop immunity does not reduce the load on hospitals. The way all viruses work is that most people get exposed and do not have symptoms and eventually the virus can no longer find people to infect. This is how human kind has survived the past 100,000 years.”

“What we should do and was not done in the US was to protect the elderly. I think that is a tragedy. Instead people were isolating the children – who were not at risk at all. To isolate those who are not at risk and to put those at risk who are at risk is a human catastrophe that should never have happened. Because we isolated the children when they could otherwise have become immune, the time we need to isolate the elderly will be more than it otherwise would have been. We therefore increase the risk to the elderly by isolating the children. We should have kept the schools open, kept the businesses open and isolate the elderly. We have wasted a lot of time, a lot of money and a lot of lives. This flu was no different from any other flu. We should open schools and businesses yesterday at the latest. The lock down has no benefits. It has only negative effects.”

#28 April 16, 2020: Dr. Isaac Ben-Israel, from Tel Aviv University said: “The spread of corona virus peaks after 40 days and then declines to almost zero after 70 days no matter what measurements governments impose to try to thwart it. The policy of lockdowns and business closures is a case of mass hysteria. Our analysis shows that this is a constant pattern across countries. Surprisingly, this pattern is common to countries that have taken a severe lockdown, including the paralysis of the economy, as well as to countries that implemented a far more lenient policy and have continued in ordinary life. A similar pattern – rapid increase in infections that reaches a peak in the sixth week and declines from the eighth week – is common to all countries in which the disease was discovered, regardless of their response policies.” https://www.timesofisrael.com/the-end-of-exponential-growth-the-decline-in-the-spread-of-coronavirus/

#29 Dr. John Oxford, English virologist and leading expert on the flu stated: Personally, I would say the best advice is to spend less time watching TV news which is sensational and not very good. Personally, I view this Covid outbreak as akin to a bad winter influenza epidemic. We are suffering from a media epidemic! https://novuscomms.com/2020/03/31/a-view-from-the-hvivo-open-orphan-orph-laboratory-professor-john-oxford/

#30 Dr. Edward F. Fogarty, U of ND School of Medicine stated: “Flu vaccines are a yearly unethical experiment because of the lack of any safety studies. Influenza vaccines are distributed within weeks of their development and have repeatedly been found contaminated. Worse of all, flu vaccines are virtually predestined to fail: first, because the extreme mutability of the influenza viruses virtually guarantees that a different vaccine will be needed every year; and second, because the generic illness we know as "the flu" is linked to many different viruses in addition to the influenza group.”

#31: Dr. Scott Jensen, a Minnesota family physician who is also a Republican state senator, stated on national TV that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) guidelines for doctors to certify whether a patient has died of corona virus are "ridiculous" and “could be misleading the public. The CDC death certificate manual tells physicians to focus on precision and specificity, but the corona virus death certification guidance runs completely counter to that axiom.” https://www.foxnews.com/media/physician-blasts-cdc-coronavirus-death-count-guidelines

#32 Dr. Alan Palmer, wrote in his free book, Truth Will Prevail: “Vaccinations actually destroy natural herd immunity and lead to increases incidence of disease in older people years later. “ http://www.chiropractic.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/1200-studies-The-Truth-Will-Prevail-v2.4_08-15-19.pdf

#33 Dr. Annie Bukacek, with 30 years of experience in signing death certificates, said about the change in the way death certificates were recorded: “The decision for unprecedented government-mandated lock down has been based on the alleged death rate of COVID-19. Is this death rate based on truth? Are the reported deaths from COVID-19 truly deaths from COVID-19?

“To address this question, we need to discuss death certificates since death certificates are the basic source of information about mortality. History-changing decisions are being made due to these figures despite the fact that they are flat-out wrong based on data that is insufficient and often inaccurate.”

“The real number of COVID-19 deaths are not what most people are told and what they then think. How many people actually died from COVID-19 is anyone’s guess. Based on inaccurate, incomplete data, people are being terrorized by fear-mongers into relinquishing freedoms. Figures don’t lie. But liars sure can figure.”

#34 Dr. Klaus Puschel, Director of the Institute for Forensic Medicine in Germany, stated: “This virus influences our lives in a completely excessive way. This is disproportionate to the danger posed by the virus. And the astronomical economic damage now being caused is not commensurate with the danger posed by the virus. I am convinced that the Corona mortality rate will not even show up as a peak in annual mortality. In quite a few cases, we have also found that the current corona infection has nothing whatsoever to do with the fatal outcome.” https://www.pressreader.com/germany/hamburger-morgenpost/20200403/281487868456736

#35 Dr. Alexander Keule, Chair of Medical Microbiology and Virology, Martin Luther University, Germany, stated: We can’t stay under lock down for six months to a year. If we did that our society and our culture would be ruined… People under 50 are very, very unlikely to die or get seriously ill from the corona virus. We have to let them get infected so they can develop immunity. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2020/04/11/german-scientist-predicted-european-epidemic-calls-end-lockdown/

#36 Dr. Gerd Gigerenzer, at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development stated: “In the United States alone, hospital-acquired infections kill some 99,000 patients annually. Yet, these unlucky people get next to no attention. Why are we more scared of what is less likely to kill us?” https://www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/greater-risk-literacy-can-reduce-coronavirus-fear-by-gerd-gigerenzer-2020-03

#37 Dr. Cameron Kyle-Sidell, emergency room doctor from NYC, stated: “I have witnessed things that do not make sense in treating a disease that is supposed to be viral pneumonia. I believe that Covid 19 is not Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome. I believe we are treating the wrong disease. Covid 19 is not a pneumonia. Rather it is a viral induced disease most resembling high altitude sickness. These patients are being starved of oxygen. The problem is oxygen failure not respiratory failure. Therefore ventilators may be doing more harm than good. “ https://vimeo.com/402537849

#38 Dr. Ron Paul is not only a doctor but a former member of Congress, a former Presidential candidate and a leader of the Anti-war movement in the US. In a recent Liberty report, he wrote: “Across the country, from political leaders to small business owners, to parents who just want to take their children to the park, resistance is growing to the authoritarians who have effectively suspended the Constitution and placed most of the country under house arrest. Lawsuits are also challenging unlawful “stay at home” orders. What if all the hysteria-driven orders have actually made the virus outbreak even worse? More scientists are coming forward to argue for the “Sweden model” of moderation rather than lock down. As Americans begin to lose patience with their enslavement and the tyranny of almost every governor in this country, the government should see themselves as on borrowed time.  Give the people back their natural right to freedom of speech, peaceful assembly, and the ability to make a living.” https://www.zerohedge.com/political/ron-paul-resistance-building-coronavirus-house-arrest-orders-its-about-time

#39 Dr. Gary Kohls, a Minnesota physician, stated: "One must keep in mind that the CDC’s Bureau of Statistics is strongly encouraging (actually ordering?) all American physicians to list “COVID” as the cause of death on discharge and death certificates of every patient that was either test-positive or simply suspected of having COVID during the hospitalization, illness or death at home or on the street. This is true even if the patient was actually a terminally-ill, Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) elderly patient who would be expected to succumb to their pre-existing cardiac, pulmonary, renal, immunologic and/or hepatic diseases that were therefore also being “treated” with large numbers of potentially toxic prescription drugs. https://www.globalresearch.ca/de-mystifying-statistics-muddled-clear-headed-thinking-leaders-need-during-times-crisis/5710544

#40 & 41 Dr. Tom Jefferson and Dr. Carl Heneghan Centre for Evidence Based Medicine, Oxford University wrote on March 30 2020: “Nor can there be little doubt that the price of lock down to society and economic paralysis is likely to be paid for generations to come. In the short term economic devastation seems certain, imposing a heavy penalty on us and probably successive generations. Lock down is going to bankrupt all of us and our descendants and is unlikely at this point to slow or halt viral circulation as the genie is out of the bottle.   What the current situation boils down to is this: is economic meltdown a price worth paying to halt or delay what is already among us?” https://www.cebm.net/2020/03/covid-19-the-tipping-point/

#42-43: Dr. Daniel Erickson and Dr. Artin Massih, California Emergency Room doctors stated: “Typically you quarantine the sick. When someone has measles you quarantine them. We’ve never seen where we quarantine the healthy. In the state of California is 12% positives. You have a 0.03% chance of dying from COVID in the state of California. Does that necessitate sheltering in place? Does that necessitate shutting down medical systems? Does that necessitate people being out of work?

In New York the ones they tested they found 39% positive. How many deaths do they have? 19,410 out of 19 million people, which is a 0.1% chance of dying from COVID in the state of New York. If you study the numbers in 2017 and 2018 we had 50 to 60 million with the flu. And we had a similar death rate in the deaths the United States were 43,545—similar to the flu of 2017-2018. We always have between 37,000 and 60,000 deaths in the United States, every single year. No pandemic talk. No shelter-in-place. No shutting down businesses…  Alcoholism, anxiety, depression, suicide. Suicide is spiking; education is dropped off; economic collapse.

The immune system is built by exposure to antigens. You don’t take a small child put them in bubble wrap in a room and say, “go have a healthy immune system. Sheltering in place decreases your immune system. And then as we all come out of shelter in place with a lower immune system and start trading viruses, bacteria—what do you think is going to happen?We’ve never, ever responded like this in the history of the country why are we doing this now? 

When I’m writing up my death report I’m being pressured to add COVID. Why is that? Why are we being pressured to add COVID? To maybe increase the numbers, and make it look a little bit worse than it is. Do we need to still shelter in place? Our answer is emphatically no. Do we need businesses to be shut down? Emphatically no. We also need to put measures in place so economic shutdown like this does not happen again. We want to make sure we understand that quarantining the sick is what we do, not quarantine the healthy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zb6j7o1pLBw&feature=emb_logo

#44-50: Dr. Yanis Roussel and six other researchers in France from the Institut Hospitalo-universitaire Méditerranée Infection, Marseille, conducted a study on Corona virus mortality for the government of France. On March 2, 2020, they wrote: “The problem of SARS-CoV-2 is probably overestimated, as 2.6 million people die of respiratory infections each year compared with less than 4000 deaths for SARS-CoV-2 at the time of writing. This study compared the mortality rate of SARS-CoV-2 in OECD countries (1.3%)…it should be noted that systematic studies of other corona viruses (but not yet for SARS-CoV-2) have found that the percentage of asymptomatic carriers is equal to or even higher than the percentage of symptomatic patients. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0924857920300972#!

As we now know, they were right in their prediction that Corona virus asymptomatic carriers would eventually be proven to be much greater than symptomatic carriers. This fact lowered the death rate by a factor of 50. But it also meant that there was no way to stop the corona virus from spreading around the world. Extreme social isolation was and still is all sacrifice and no benefit.

#51 On April 22, 2020, Swedish health minister, Anders Tegnell said: “The curve is very flat, really since the beginning of April. It’s very good news, there’s no rise in cases in Stockholm, at all. Our tests have found that about 1/3 of the populations tested are positive and not sick, while 2/3 have never been exposed… Children neither spread it nor get it. For example, at a school in Finland, a child was “infected” but nobody else at the school was infected. Nor did the child get sick. We also have studies that show that for every confirmed case, there are 999 others who have not sought medical care. All the data I’m seeing is that children don’t get sick. Data from Iceland and other places all point to that children are not contagious. We found a few cases in Sweden and Finland of positive children but they didn’t spread to anybody. There’s a lot of data saying schools aren’t a driver of Covid.” https://uncoverdc.com/2020/04/23/sweden-shatters-lock-down-model-as-curves-stay-flat/

What’s Next?
In the next section, we will do what government officials should have done before they shut down all businesses and destroyed our economy – we will take a closer look at how the corona virus really works. In the final section of this chapter, we will use this knowledge to design a system that actually would save lives.

People under 65 have about the same risk of dying in a car accident as they do of dying from the corona virus. Dr. John Ioannidis, Stanford Prevention Research Center

Hundreds of millions of adults and children in the US have been confined to their homes for months on end because they have been told this will help them save their grandparents from a deadly virus. 60 million or more bread winners have already or will soon lose their jobs and likely their homes in what is the largest social isolation experiment in human history. Millions more lost their life savings and are facing poverty. In a later chapter, we will look at research on why social isolation does nothing to reduce viral fatalities. Here we will look at the fatal consequences of extreme social isolation compared to the much less lethal harm of the corona virus.

From the day we are born, we face a 100% risk of dying at some point in the future. Even our beloved parents and grandparents will not live forever. This is why we should spend our time wisely and productively – and live each day actively working in the real world to benefit and serve those we love – not hiding in our bedroom watching the Mass Hysteria media.

In this section, we will compare the risk of dying from the corona virus to several other much more deadly risk factors. We will show that while the risk of the corona virus is real, so are many other risk factors. The question is not whether the corona virus risk is real, but whether shutting down schools and businesses and costing 60 million people their jobs over the corona virus risk will kill more people than the lockdown saves.

But what lockdown advocates ignore is that locking people in their homes and shutting down 15 million small businesses in the US for months on end – causing 60 million to lose their jobs - will kill 10 times more people than were killed by the corona virus.

A leading analyst of this question is Dr. David Katz, a nutrition and preventive medicine expert from Yale University. Here is a link to his website which has a ton of information and research on the drawbacks of shutting down the economy and why it does more harm than good. https://davidkatzmd.com/coronavirus-information-and-resources/

Dr. Katz did an interview on April 14, 2020 explaining his position. Here is a link to the transcript if you prefer to read it. https://ratical.org/PerspectivesOnPandemic-III.html

Here are some quotes which summarize his position, which he calls Total Harm Minimization: “If we leave people to shelter in place with anxiety uncertainty, dread and doubt, we are going to propagate an epidemic of mental health decline. There will be depression and anxiety and some people will turn to substance abuse.”

“We don’t shut society down because there are risks out there, risks of car crashes, the risks of death from the flu, the risks of other infectious disease, all sorts of risks we encounter every day…. Herd immunity is something we have to talk about because it is the more proximal alternative to an all-clear. It’s the way we can go back to the world. The dose of exposure does seem to correlate with the severity of the disease. So, if you’re exposed to a relatively smaller number of viral particles, you’ll get infection, but basically at a level where your immune system can keep up better. “

What is the risk of death from the corona virus compared to other causes of death?
As I write this article, on April 29 2020, there are claimed to be about 62,000 deaths in the US from the corona virus. To see the current number of fatalities, go to this website. Then click on Corona virus updates: https://www.worldometers.info/

The US population is about 330 million. Therefore, thus far, your odds of dying from the corona virus is about 188 in one million. Even should the fatalities skyrocket to 100,000, your odds of dying from the corona virus would still be less than one in thirty thousand. Each year, 3 million people die in the US. Even if corona virus deaths shot up to 100,000, it would still be only a very small fraction of the 3 million deaths. Put another way, over 8,000 people die in the US every single day of the year. Currently, about 1000 people a day are dying from the corona virus in the US each day. Even at the peak of the epidemic, (which has already occurred), the corona virus killed fewer people than heart disease. You are more likely to die from suicide than from the corona virus. You are more likely to die in a car accident. You are much more likely to die from smoking cigarettes. You even more likely to die from taking prescription drugs! If we really wanted to reduce fatalities, we could stop driving our cars.

Real Risk Factors in the United States
Let’s take a look at the real life threatening risk factors in the US. Here are the 9 leading causes of death in the US:
Heart Disease: 23% = 1725 people per day.
Cancer: 22% = 1650 people per day.
Car Accidents: 7% = 525 people per day.
Lung disease: 6% = 450 people per day.
Stroke: 5% = 375 people per day.
Alzheimers: 4% = 300 people per day.
Diabetes: 3% = 225 people per day.
Seasonal Flu: 2% = 300 people per day (during winter).
Suicide: 2%. 150 people per day.
https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/leading-causes-of-death.htm

It is likely that corona virus will only be one percent of the 8 million US annual fatalities. If people want to actually reduce fatalities, they should be focusing on reducing heart attacks, cancer, car accidents, lung disease and suicides. Here is a graph of the above rates:

Influenza Fatalities as a Percent of all Fatalities in the US
The following web page has a weekly analysis of corona virus fatalities as a percent of total US weekly fatalities.
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/covid-data/covidview/index.html#mortality

Scroll down the page and you will see this chart of the past several years of flu fatalities. This chart was last updated on April 9, 2020:

The red line is the percent of weekly fatalities due to Pneumonia and Influenza (called P and I). These are combined because the actual cause of death is Pneumonia – but what caused the Pneumonia was Influenza. In the winter of 2017-18, P and I accounted for 11 percent of all fatalities during the third week in January. In the first week of April, 2020, P and I (including both the normal seasonal flu and the corona virus flu) accounted for 10 percent of all weekly fatalities. 7 percent of this 10 percent was attributed to the corona virus. Do you recall reading about the flu being 11% of all deaths in January 2018? How about the fact that 61,000 people died fro the seasonal flu that winter? Neither do I.

What was the total US fatalities for Pneumonia and Influenza (P and I) fatalities in the 2017-2018 flu season?
According to the CDC, 61,000 died from P and I in the 2017 -2018 flu season. Here is a table of flu fatalities for the past 6 years:

Flu Season	Flu Fatalities K
2014-2015	51
2015-2016	23
2016-2017	38
2017-2018	61
2018-2019	34
5 year Average	41
2019-2020?	20 (seasonal) 60 corona = 80?

https://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/estimates/April_November_14.htm#UnderCounting

Here is a quote from the above page: “CDC does not know exactly how many people die from seasonal flu each year.

There are several reasons for this: First, states are not required to report individual seasonal flu cases to CDC. Second, seasonal influenza is often not listed on death certificates of people who die from flu-related complications. Third, many flu-related deaths occur one or two weeks after a person’s initial infection. Also, most people who die from flu-related complications are not tested for flu.”

We therefore have good reason to believe that the seasonal flu has been under-counted while the corona virus has been over-counted. A reasonable estimate for actual corona virus fatalities is about 30,000 and for actual seasonal flu fatalities to be about 60,000.

Estimating the Increase in Fatalities as a Result of Social Isolation Destroying the US Economy
We will start with the more obvious harms of shutting down the US economy and then later consider the more hidden harms. Washington state has about 600,000 small businesses and about 1.2 million jobs that depend on these small businesses. Over half of these small businesses operate on very small margins. Even without this crisis, many small businesses were already close to bankruptcy.

If half of these small businesses are driven to bankruptcy, there will be at least one million jobs lost in Washington state. In fact, as of May 3, 2020, the Washington State Department Security Department estimated that 1.4 million people have filed claims in Washington state. Because at least 20% of unemployed workers are still not eligible to file a claim, this makes Washington state real unemployment at least 1.7 million Because Washington state has an average population, this in turn equates to at least 80 million jobs lost in the US.

What is likely to occur as a result of 60 million lost jobs due to extreme social isolation policies is that locking everyone into their homes? Here is one study that measured how harmful it can be for a person to lose their job: Clemens, et al, What is the effect of unemployment on all-cause mortality?. 2015

Men experience up to an 85% increased risk of all-cause mortality following losing their jobs.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4677456/pdf/emss-66332.pdf

Assuming an equal number of men and women lose their jobs, we can calculate the total annual mortality rate for men to be about one percent times 40 million equals 400,000. Multiply this times 85% means that about 350,000 additional men will die each year as a result of 60 million additional unemployed. Add in 150,000 women and the total is about 500,000 additional fatalities.

There are many pathways these 500,000 jobless people might perish. Below we will look at just four of these pathways:

#1 Death from Loss of Health Care

#2 Death from Increased Cardiovascular Disease and Strokes

#3 Death from Increased Suicides

#4 Death from Increased Alcoholism

#1 Death from Loss of Health Care
Because the US is the only country in the world where health insurance is tied to having a job, the loss of 80 million jobs could also mean that 80 million people will lose their health insurance. This is in addition to the 45 million Americans who currently do not have adequate health insurance. A 2009 Harvard study found that the 45 million uninsured Americans had an annual death rate that was 45,000 fatalities higher than those who were insured. Therefore adding another 80 million to the ranks of the uninsured would result in about 80,000 additional fatalities per year. http://www.pnhp.org/excessdeaths/health-insurance-and-mortality-in-US-adults.pdf

#2 Death from Increased Cardiovascular Disease and Strokes
The loss of 80 million jobs will also increase several of the leading causes of death in the US - including heart disease, cancer, stroke and suicide - by amounts that vastly out-number any reduction in corona virus fatalities due to the extreme social isolation policies advocated by our current government officials.

For example, it is possible that locking people in their homes and forcing them to listen to Corona Virus Hysteria on the TV all day long day after day for two to three months or more could increase heart disease and strokes by 10%. Since over 2,000 people a day die from these two causes even during good times, an additional 10% would be 200 added deaths per day. Multiply 200 times 60 days and the result is 12,000 more people die a needless death.

#3 Death from Increased Suicides
Another major danger from collapsing the economy is the increase in suicides that will result from millions of people losing their jobs and their homes. According to a study published in the American Journal of Public Health, April 2011, historically, the average rate of suicides in the US has been 12 per 100,000 population per year. In 1932, the suicide rate rose to 22 per 100,000. This was an increase of 10 suicides per 100,000 compared to the historical average.

Since we now have 330 million people in the US (330m/100,000=3,330), if we saw a similar increase in suicides as a result of the mass closings of millions of businesses and millions of lost jobs, the increase in suicides would be 10 times 3,300 = 33,000 additional suicides. Total suicides would be 22 times 3300 = 72,600 total suicide deaths. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3093269/

Add 33,000 suicide deaths to the 60,000 uninsured deaths and the 12,000 extra heart attacks and strokes brings the total extra deaths from extreme social isolation policies to 105,000. But even this amount is just the tip of the iceberg.

#4 Death from Increased Alcoholism
Let’s next look at the nation’s largest mental health self-help group, the 12-step program which is more commonly called AA. Before the ban on all public meetings, 1.3 million “official” AA members attended AA meetings once a day to once a week in communities all over America.

For every official member, there are three who attend meetings who are not members – making the total about 4 million. These meetings served a vital purpose in providing social closeness as a way to keep recovering alcohols from backsliding into despair, alcohol and drug abuse. Without these meetings, it is possible that as many as half of these members or two million recovering alcoholics will go off the wagon. This will greatly increase tragedies like drunk driving which is the leading cause of all fatal car accidents. Combine this with other typical tragedies of drug abuse such as spousal abuse, job losses, robberies, burglaries and many other problems and it is possible that total additional fatalities just from this factor could exceed 200,000.

This brings the total up to 305,000. We have not even considered the fatalities resulting from the massive increase in homelessness that is certain to occur when 60 million people lose their jobs. The real death toll from shutting down our economy could well be more than 500,000. Meanwhile, Extreme Social Isolation has never been shown scientifically to reduce fatalities by even a single person.

So those who claim to be “saving lives” with social isolation policies are doing just the opposite – killing people by the thousands. These misguided and corrupt politicians claim to be concerned about saving the lives of our grandparents. But they have failed to consider the lives of thousands of people who will be killed as a direct result of their criminally insane extreme social isolation policies.

How many people will die from starvation?
Here is a quote from one article claiming this is possible: “Under “normal” circumstances of our globe’s predatory inequality, some 9 million people die annually from hunger and famine-related diseases. This figure may now shoot up exponentially. Maybe into the tens of millions, or more.” https://www.globalresearch.ca/covid-19-cruelty-universal-lockdown/5710798

Additional Research on the Relationship between Social Isolation and Fatalities
Here is a quote from a 2014 Harvard study:

There has long been substantial evidence linking job loss to shorter lives and more health-related problems. A 2009 study on the impact of the 1980s recession in Pennsylvania, found that in the year after men lost their jobs in mass layoffs, their chances of dying doubled.

https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/magazine/magazine_article/failing-economy-failing-health/

An analysis of 42 studies on the relationship between job loss and mortality among both genders found that the risk of death was 63% higher among those who experienced unemployment than among those who did not.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3070776/#!po=2.00000

A 2017 study that looked at the relationship between unemployment and drug overdoses found that “A one percentage point increase in the unemployment rate is associated with a 3.3 percent increase in the rate of drug-related deaths.”

https://www.nber.org/aginghealth/2017no3/w23192.shtml

Because extreme social isolation is so harmful to people. it should never be used as any kind of social policy. Here are quotes from just a few of the many studies documenting the harmful effects of extreme social isolation on humans – including increasing fatalities:

“Deaths from accidents and suicide were significantly increased among less socially connected men. Socially isolated men also had an increased risk of fatal coronary heart disease.”

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11943687

Holt-Lunstad J, Smith T, Layton B. Social relationships and mortality risk: a meta-analytic review. PLoS Med. 2010;7(7):e1000316.
“People with stronger social relationships had a 50% increased likelihood of survival than those with weaker social relationships. These findings indicate that the influence of social relationships on the risk of death are comparable with well-established risk factors for mortality such as smoking and alcohol consumption and exceed the influence of other risk factors such as physical inactivity and obesity.  Loneliness increases the risk of developing dementia by 50% and stroke by 32% while increasing the morbidity risk of cancer by 25%." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2910600/

Social isolation was as strong a factor in mortality risk as smoking, and even higher than having high blood pressure.   https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3871270/

What’s Next?
Now that we have a clearer understanding that the economic shutdown will kill way more people than the corona virus, let’s here from 50 experts – many of whom predicted this would be the case.

 

Call me old fashioned, but when a drug company has been convicted of killing people by the thousands just to make a buck, it is time to put that company out of business – not put them in charge of economic and health policies for the entire US. David Spring M.Ed.

2008 FTC Corruption crashes the stock market – causing millions of people to lose their jobs and homes – so big banks can make hundreds of billions of dollars gambling with our life savings.

2019: FAA Corruption crashes airplanes – causing hundreds of people to die - so Boeing can make hundreds of billions of dollars selling planes with engines that are too big to fit under the wings.

2020 CDC Corruption crashes the economy – causing millions of people to die – so drug companies can make hundreds of billions of dollars scaring people into accepting universal forced vaccinations.

My Mother: “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.”

What we are witnessing is a take over of the US government by wealthy multi-national corporations who rob from the US tax payers in order to line the pockets of billionaires. This is not capitalism. It is unbridled greed and extreme political corruption. The Mass Hysteria Media wants you to believe that the CDC is your friend and that the corona virus is such a huge threat to your health that we need to shut down the entire economy for months on end to stop it. The truth is that shutting down the economy for months at a time will do nothing to stop the corona virus. But it will lead to the needless death of hundreds of thousands of people.

The real threat to your health is believing that the CDC is your friend.

Here are three facts I hope you will consider:
#1 Drug companies are the leading contributors to the Mass Hysteria Media. Without billions in bribes from drug companies, nearly every newspaper, radio station and TV station would go broke. Drug companies pour $25 billion dollars a year into advertising on the US mass media.  The US is the only nation in the world that allows drug companies to push their drugs on television.  As a direct result of outright dishonest drug company propaganda on TV, nearly 50% of the American people are now hooked on Prescription drugs – often taking several different drugs every single day. More Americans will die from adverse reactions to prescription drugs this year than will die from the corona virus! https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/drug-use-therapeutic.htm

#2: Drug companies are also the leading contributors to corrupt politicians. Without billions in bribes from drug companies, most politicians would not have the money needed to buy their re-election. There are more drug company lobbyists than Congressmen and Senators combined.  Drug companies give double the amount of bribes (aka donations) as oil and gas companies.  Drug companies contribute four times what defense and aerospace give to corrupt politicians.  In the past twenty years, the drug industry has spent over $3.7 billion lobbying (aka bribing) government officials. This is why drug companies now own Congress.

#3 Corrupt out of control drug companies also own the CDC. “The four companies that produce all 72 vaccines that are mandated for American children, all four of them are convicted felons.  Since 2009, those four companies collectively have paid $35 billion dollars in criminal penalties for defrauding regulators, for falsifying science, for bribing doctors, for lying to the public, and killing lots of people.”
Robert Kennedy Jr. January 30, 2020

The real purpose of the CDC is to help drug companies make hundreds of billions of dollars each year peddling dangerous unproven miracle cures to the American people. The CDC is one of the least trustworthy, most dishonest and most corrupt agencies in the federal government – with a long track record of approving drugs and vaccines that later kill people by the hundreds of thousands.

Before we get to the role of the CDC in promoting the corona virus hysteria, here are a few important questions you need to consider:
Did you know that approved prescription drugs kill more people every year than illegal drugs? There is a drug war going on in the US. But it is not a war to prevent poor people from smoking pot. It is a war by corrupt drug companies against the health and pocket books of the American people. The drug companies are winning this war.

Did you know that, when it was legal, the pain reliever Vioxx killed hundreds of thousands of people in the US? https://www.europereloaded.com/robert-f-kennedy-jr-on-the-stunning-corruption-in-the-vaccine-industry-that-has-killed-hundreds-of-thousands-of-americans/

Did you know that Vioxx was made by the same drug company (Merck) that is now promoting a miracle cure for the corona virus? In 2011, Merck Pharmaceuticals admitted to illegally mis-branding its prescription pain killer Vioxx. Researchers and executives concealed evidence that Vioxx caused an alarming number of heart attacks during clinical trials. Merck’s own studies confirmed that patients taking Vioxx were six times more likely to have heart attacks than patients not taking Vioxx. Despite knowing this, Merck sales representatives persuaded doctors—via material false statements and illegal kickbacks—to prescribe the drug to huge numbers of patients. Merck made approximately $11 billion from Vioxx sales before pulling the drug from the market.

Did you know that there is a revolving door between Merck and the CDC – with the former chair of the CDC being promoted to be in charge of the Vaccine division of Merck?

Did you know that the CDC has never studied the impacts on children’s health of combining 70 plus vaccines – despite knowing that all drugs have potential harmful impacts when combined with other drugs?

Did you know that Congress passed a law prohibiting people from suing drug companies over damages and deaths caused by vaccines? No matter how toxic the ingredients, how negligent the manufacturer or how devastating the harm their vaccines inflect on our children, injured children cannot sue a vaccine company.

Did you know that in 2010, Merck, the world’s largest vaccine maker, was sued by its own scientists, claiming that Merck tried to force these scientists to falsify data for its vaccines? According to the lawsuit, Merck defrauded the US for more than a decade by faking a vaccine effectiveness tests – committing fraud –Merck misled the government about the effectiveness of its vaccines. These Merck whistle blowers claim they were threatened; that if they called the FDA they would be jailed. But they were reminded of the very large bonuses would come their way after the vaccines were certified. Despite admitting that it deliberately killed thousand of people in order to make billions of dollars, not a single Merck executive went to prison. https://ahrp.org/former-merck-scientists-sue-merck-alleging-mmr-vaccine-efficacy-fraud/

Did you know that, each year, more than 2 million Americans suffer serious adverse reactions from FDA-approved drugs. These side effects lead to about 100,000 deaths, according to a 2016 study published in The International Journal of Health Services. https://oig.hhs.gov/oei/reports/oei-04-07-00260.pdf

Did you know that most vaccines now on the CDC recommended childhood vaccine schedule were safety tested for only a few days or weeks? For example, the manufacturer’s package insert discloses that Merck’s Hep B vaccine (almost every American infant receives a Hep B shot on the day of birth) underwent, not five years, but a mere five days of safety testing. If the babies in these studies had a seizure—or died—on day six, Merck was under no obligation to disclose those facts.

Did you know that the CDC functions as a vaccine company with a budget of $11- billion per year. $5 billion is spent on buying vaccines at inflated prices?  

In addition to making $60 billion per year selling vaccines, drug companies make an additional $500 billion selling medications for diseases the vaccines cause. 

Did you know that Global vaccine market revenues nearly double from 2014 to 2020?

Making a Profit from Killing Babies
In 2015, Former Merck Employee and whistle blower Brandy Vaughan spoke out against the state of California’s vaccination mandate bill SB277 and said: “The US gives more vaccines than any other country in the world. Our childhood schedule for under the age of one has twice as many vaccines as other developed countries. What else does the US have? The highest infant mortality rate of any developed nation. What we have with vaccines is the highest profit margin drugs on the market. Drug companies make more money off vaccines than they do any other drug. “

“There is a lack of rigorous safety studies. And they don’t have the incentive to do them because they have no liability. Vaccines are the only products in the US that do not have liability. You cannot sue for injuries or death. Flu vaccines are a yearly unethical experiment because of the lack of any safety studies on these products. Influenza vaccines are distributed within weeks of their development and have repeatedly been found contaminated. Worse of all, flu vaccines are virtually predestined to fail: first, because the extreme mutability of the influenza viruses virtually guarantees that a different vaccine will be needed every year; and second, because the generic illness we know as "the flu" is linked to many different viruses, by no means restricted to the influenza group.”

“Vaccinations actually destroy natural herd immunity and lead to increases incidence of disease in older people years later. “
Dr. Alan Palmer, Truth Will Prevail http://www.chiropractic.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/1200-studies-The-Truth-Will-Prevail-v2.4_08-15-19.pdf

According to CDC guidelines, children are mandated to receive 70 doses of individual vaccines by the age of 18. By the age of 65, the number of recommended vaccines rises to a shocking 149. This is a huge number for vaccines that typically provide no benefit.

What does the corona virus have to do with childhood vaccine laws?
The answer is that corrupt drug companies using the current mass hysteria to push a vaccine cure for the corona virus are the same corrupt drug companies who used mass hysteria to push mass vaccinations on our children.

Their plan to force mass mandatory vaccinations on all adults is laid out in a CDC plan called Healthy People 2020 -, which seeks to extend the existing forced vaccine mandates to adults. They know that the only way they can get this plan past adults is to first scare the hell out of the adults. When people succumb to fear, they lose the capacity to think and will agree to practically anything.

How to Artificially Inflate Fatalities to Freak out the Public
There are a lot of problems with corona virus “confirmed cases and fatalities.” The first problem is that various versions of the Corona virus have actually been around for at least the past 50 years. It is not a single virus. It is more like a family of viruses.

The second problem is all of the members of this family of viruses are known to mutate extremely rapidly – up to a hundred times a year. This is why there are currently at least 3650 varieties/genomes of COVID-19 worldwide. See this link for the latest number of mutations: https://nextstrain.org/ncov

This high rate of corona virus mutations and the diversity of already existing corona virus types creates the third problem – namely that not only is there no reliable test for the corona virus – there is not a possibility of a reliable test or a vaccine in the future - ever.

The lack of an accurate test for the corona virus is one reason why less than one percent of the people in the US have even been tested. We will discuss the problems of each of the various test options and vaccine options in later chapters. For now, you need to know that the current tests can lead to huge numbers of false positives and huge numbers of false negatives. Which is why we are not focusing too much on so-called “confirmed cases” in this book. It is a fact that many of the confirmed cases were never even tested.

But even if they were tested, the tests are so unreliable as to make the reported number completely meaningless. For example, I am certain that many of the people who got a positive test for the corona virus never in fact had the 2019 corona virus. Instead, they had some other similar version of the corona virus either in the present or the past and that is what triggered the positive test result. I am also certain that many of the people who got a negative test for the corona virus actually had the virus but that the so-called test did not pick up the virus for one of several reasons.

To make matters even crazier, I am also certain that the number of actual people infected by the corona virus is at least ten times the number of of “confirmed cases.” We will provide the scientific studies supporting this later. But the bottom line is that many of the corona virus tests and in particular the PCR test, results in huge numbers of false negatives while other cheaper tests for the corona virus, such as the Antibody tests result in huge numbers of false positives.

What you might think would be more reliable is the reported number of fatalities. Sadly, these numbers are also extremely inaccurate. I have no doubt that the reported number of deaths actually did die. The problem is trying to determine what these people actually died from. It turns out that whether we are looking at seasonal flu fatalities or corona virus fatalities, people rarely die from either of these diseases. Instead, they most often die from viral pneumonia or bacterial pneumonia or any one of a dozen other medical conditions.

Did you know that on March 4, 2020, the CDC changed the way fatalities are reported?
The number of corona virus fatalities in the US since March 4, 2020, has been greatly inflated by a change in the way fatalities are listed here in the US. Below is an example of how death certificates were filled out by doctors and coroners in the US prior to March 4, 2020:

Here is a link to the previous standard death certificate: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/dvs/DEATH11-03final-ACC.pdf

Note that, from 2003 to 2020, it was up to the doctor or coroner to determine the immediate and underlying cause of death. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/covid-19.htm

Here is a link to the new standard death certificate from the CDC as of March 4, 2020: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvss/coronavirus/Alert-1-Guidance-for-Certifying-COVID-19-Deaths.pdf

Here is an image of the new death certificate:

For the first time in the history of the US, doctors and coroners were specifically directed how to fill out death certificates. This new form included the following guidance:

#1 COVID-19 was to be listed as a cause of death regardless of whether or not there was any actual testing to confirm that the person even had the corona virus.

#2 Even if the corona virus was just a contributing factor or could even be “assumed to have caused or contributed to death,” the corona virus was be listed as the primary cause of death.

Here is a quote from the guidance: “It is important to emphasize that COVID-19 should be reported on the death certificate for all decedents where the disease caused or is assumed to have caused or contributed to death… If the decedent had other chronic conditions such as COPD or asthma that may have also contributed, these conditions can be reported in Part II.”

Therefore, if the corona virus could have possibly contributed to the death in any way, it was to be reported as the underlying cause of death – regardless of the opinion of the doctor or coroner.

And to make sure that the corona virus was listed as the cause of death even in cases where there was no test and where victims actually died of something else, a sample form that showed the corona virus as the cause of death was included by the CDC.

Here is what a highly respected doctor, Dr. Annie Bukacek, with 30 years of experience in signing death certificates, had to say about this change in the way death certificates were recorded: “The decision for unprecedented government-mandated lock down has been based on the alleged death rate of COVID-19. Is this death rate based on truth? Are the reported deaths from COVID-19 truly deaths from COVID-19? To address this question, we need to discuss death certificates since death certificates are the basic source of information about mortality. History-changing decisions are being made due to these figures despite the fact that they are flat-out wrong based on data that is often inaccurate.”

“Physicians make their best guesstimate and fill out the form then that listed cause of death, whatever we list, is entered into a vital records data bank to use for statistical analysis which then gives out inaccurate numbers as you can imagine. Those inaccurate numbers are then accepted as factual information even though much of it is false. So even before we heard of COVID-19, death certificates were based on assumptions and educated guesses that go unquestioned.”

“When it comes to COVID-19, there’s the additional data skewer that there is no universal definition of COVID-19 death. The Center for Disease Control, updated from yesterday April 4th, still states that “mortality” data includes both confirmed and presumptive positive cases of COVID-19. … The CDC counts both true COVID-19 cases and speculative guesses of COVID-19 the same, they call it death by COVID-19. They automatically overestimate the real death numbers by their own admission. …”

“We need to understand how the CDC and the National Vital Statistics System are instructing physicians to fill out death certificates related to COVID-19. The assumption of COVID-19 death could be made even without testing. Based on assumption alone, the death can be reported to the public as another COVID-19 casualty.”

The March 24, 2020 NVSS memo states “The rules for coding and selection of the underlying cause of death are expected to result in COVID-19 being the underlying cause more often than not.”

Should COVID-19 be reported on the death certificate only with a confirmed test?

“Stephen Schwartz, national director of the division of vital statistics, answered this question with this statement: COVID-19 should be reported on the death certificate for all decedents where the disease caused or is assumed to have caused or contributed to death.”

If a patient is positive for COVID-19 and dies from another cause such as pneumococcal sepsis, it may be more accurate to say that person died with COVID-19 - not from COVID-19. Yet the CDC guideline lists this case as one more COVID-19 death. You could see how these statistics have been made to look scary when it is so easy to add false numbers to the official database. Those false numbers are sanctioned by the CDC.”

“The real number of COVID-19 deaths are not what most people are told and what they then think. How many people actually died from COVID-19 is anyone’s guess. Based on inaccurate, incomplete data, people are being terrorized by fear-mongers into relinquishing freedoms. Figures don’t lie. But liars sure can figure.”

Changing the Way Deaths are Reported Led to a Huge Spike in Corona Virus Deaths
On March 4, 2020, the day this historic and shocking change was issued, the official number of corona virus fatalities in the US was only 11 deaths:

 

At the same time, the number of seasonal flu fatalities on March 4, 2020 was 18,000 or more than one thousand times higher than corona virus fatalities. https://web.archive.org/web/20200304003034/https://www.cdc.gov/flu/weekly/index.htm

Fast forward 8 weeks to April 29, 2020. The number of seasonal flu deaths in the US only increased by 6000 to a total of 24,000. This is 17,000 less than the normal number of seasonal flu fatalities which is 41,000. https://www.cdc.gov/flu/weekly/index.htm

Meanwhile the number of people dying from the corona virus in the US skyrocketed to the current total of 62,000 as of April 29, 2020.

So in the past 8 weeks, the seasonal flu caused only 6,000 fatalities while the corona virus suddenly caused 62,000 fatalities. Even if the CDC did not already have such a terrible reputation of lying to the American people – and even if they had not suddenly changed the guidance on death certificates on March 4, 2020, this sudden change would be very hard for anyone with a background in math to believe.

One of two things happened. Either a bunch of older people who would have been killed by the seasonal flu were killed by the corona virus first. Or thousands of seasonal flu victims were simply listed as being killed by the corona virus due to the change in the way deaths were reported.

You can believe whatever you want. My own view is that the number of people dying from the corona virus in the US has been vastly inflated such that about half of all corona virus fatalities (and likely more) died from some other disease and were merely reported as having died from the corona virus due to the change in reporting rules that was issued on March 4 2020. To be clear, I am not contending that no one died from the corona virus. Instead, I contend that thousands of “presumed” corona virus victims actually died from pneumonia related to the seasonal flu rather than pneumonia related to the corona virus.

My evidence for this claim includes the following facts:
#1 Careful analysis of months of data of several populations infected by the corona virus has led me to the conclusion that the corona virus is only slightly more fatal than the seasonal flu. If we use a number of 2 deaths per ten thousand for the seasonal flu, then the corona virus is no more than 2 to 3 deaths per ten thousand. It is certainly not 100 deaths per ten thousand (which it would have to be to make sense of the CDC reported numbers).

#2 The seasonal flu is only slightly more wide spread in the US than the corona virus. The official estimate of confirmed cases on April 29, 2020 was 1 million. Therefore the actual number of cases was at least 50 million. This is 15 percent of the American people that have thus far been infected with the corona virus. This is about the same as the seasonal flu which infects 15% to 20% of the American people every winter. This math makes it clear that the seasonal flu must have killed at least as many people in the US as the corona virus in March and April 2020. If the total for the past 8 weeks is 66,000, then the seasonal flu would be 33,000 and the corona virus 33,000.

#3 Making this adjustment brings the seasonal flu more in line with the historical average of fatalities for the seasonal flu – increasing the number from 24,000 claimed by the CDC to about 50,000. Note that the 7 year average of 41,000 seasonal flu related deaths in the US is likely an under-estimate.

Here is a quote from British doctor John Lee explaining why actual seasonal flu fatalities are likely to be much greater than reported seasonal flu fatalities: “The vast majority of respiratory deaths in the UK are recorded as bronchopneumonia, pneumonia, old age or a similar designation. We don’t really test for flu, or other seasonal infections. If the patient has, say, cancer, motor neuron disease or another serious disease, this will be recorded as the cause of death, even if the final illness was a respiratory infection. This means UK certifications normally under-record deaths due to respiratory infections.”
https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/The-evidence-on-Covid-19-is-not-as-clear-as-we-think

Because policies in the US are similar to the UK, seasonal flu fatalities in the US are also under-recorded. This is why I often use a figure of 50,000 to 66,000 for annual US flu fatalities.

#4 My strongest evidence is the fact that the CDC tipped the scales on March 4, 2020 by forcing doctors and coroners to list the cause of death as being the corona virus if there was even the slightest chance that the corona virus was in any way involved in the death.

So let’s assume that about 33,000 people in the US have been killed by the corona virus as of April 22, 2020 – not the 62,000 reported by the CDC. As I provide evidence for in a future chapter, we are near peak fatalities in the US. Thus, the the final number of actual fatalities will be less than 60,000 due to the corona virus in the US.

This may seem like a lot of people. But to put things in perspective, this is only slightly more than the normal death rate for the seasonal flu. And it is less than the number of people who die from bad prescription drugs every year. We have never shut down schools and businesses in the entire state and nation for the seasonal flu.

About 3 million people per year die in the US. Heart disease and cancer are the two leading causes of death accounting for about half of all deaths. 60,000 people may seem like a lot. But as a fraction of total US fatalities, it is only 2 percent of the 3 million total annual fatalities and an almost insignificant fraction of our total population – especially when you consider that more than 3 million babies are born in the US each year. Even 60,000 deaths is way below things like smoking and car accidents. We do not close schools and businesses because people die from smoking and car accidents.

April 10, 2020: Another Doctor Blows the Whistle on the CDC Death Certificate Scam
Dr. Scott Jensen, a Minnesota family physician who is also a Republican state senator, stated on national TV that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) guidelines for doctors to certify whether a patient has died of corona virus are "ridiculous.” Jensen stated that “the CDC death certificate manual tells physicians to focus on precision and specificity, but the corona virus death certification guidance runs completely counter to that axiom.”

"The idea that we are going to allow people to massage and game the numbers is a real issue because we are going to undermine the [public] trust. And right now as we see politicians doing things that aren’t necessarily motivated on fact and science, their trust in politicians is already wearing thin. Under the new CDC guidelines, a patient who died after being hit by a bus and tested positive for corona virus would be listed as having presumed to have died from the virus regardless of whatever damage was caused by the bus. That does not make any sense.” https://www.foxnews.com/media/physician-blasts-cdc-coronavirus-death-count-guidelines

In another article, Dr. Jensen expanded on the financial incentives given to hospitals if they diagnose someone with the Corona Virus: “Right now Medicare has determined that if you have a COVID-19 admission to the hospital you’ll get paid $13,000. If that COVID-19 patient goes on a ventilator, you get $39,000; three times as much. Take a Medicare patient who is diagnosed with simple non-COVID pneumonia. The hospital would receive a one-time Medicare lump-sum payout of $4600. However, if that Medicare patient is diagnosed with COVID-19 pneumonia, the Medicare coverage is a one-time $13,000 payment. And if the hospital puts that COVID-19 pneumonia patient on a ventilator, the one-time payment is $39,000.” https://blog.nomorefakenews.com/2020/04/12/state-senator-and-doctor-exposes-medicare-payouts-for-covid-19-patients/

Thank you Dr. Scott Jensen and Dr. Annie Bukacek for having the courage to tell the truth. The new CDC death certificate scam is one of the worst abuses of power in history. The American people should never forget how the CDC inflated the numbers – and never again trust anything the CDC says about anything.

We should also never forget that what caused the shutdown of the schools and businesses in our state was that our Governor and Superintendent of Public Instruction believed the insane Neil Ferguson claim that the corona virus would kill more than 2 million people in the US. Ferguson has since brought his fatality estimate back down to reality. But the harm has already been done. People like Ferguson and drug companies like Merck should not be setting public policy in Washington state or in the United States. Instead, they should be held accountable for their fraudulent actions and put in jail where they belong. Obviously, we should not trust the CDC as a source of unbiased information about the corona virus. The CDC is nothing but a front for drug companies. Nor should we be trusting Neil Ferguson or Chris Reykdal.

April 15, 2020 Update… CDC changes rules again and ups fatalities even more
On April 14, 2020, the CDC suddenly changed the rules on reporting corona virus deaths. While daily US fatalities averaged 1500 on April 13 and 15, as a result of the rule change, on April 14, daily fatalities increased to 6185 and on April 15, daily fatalities were 2763 for a two day total of nearly 9000. Thus, this single rule change increased total corona virus fatalities by 6,000. Instead of 28,000 total fatalities in the US, suddenly we had 34,000 – just from the CDC expanding what it wanted reported as a corona virus fatality.

In addition, all tests for Corona virus are extremely inaccurate with some tests such as PCR leading to many false negatives while other tests of anti-bodies leading to many false positives.

The CDC knows these tests are not accurate. But they continue to use inaccurate data to assist the media in promoting mass hysteria here in the US.

What’s Next?
Corrupt politicians like to claim that the reason they are shutting down schools and businesses for months at a time is to “save lives.” The exact opposite is what is actually happening. People will be killed by the hundreds of thousands as a direct result of the insane social isolation policies we are all being subjected to. In the next section, we will calculate just how many additional people are likely to be killed by these unwise economic shut down policies.
