    At long last the answer: how a virus spreads … via testing kits …

    It wasn't really a medical pandemic. It was a fear pandemic

    When on 3/11/20 the WHO instructed hospitals to clear the decks, for Covid, we now know that means nurses had to have the time and space to practice their elaborate choreography …

    The hysteria in hospitals made a mockery of all that is holy and human, the fear was so great that the dying were denied human touch …

    When nurses danced in hospitals while lecturing us to “Stay Home, Save Lives”, I appealed to them waive their salaries as a gesture of solidarity with the many who were out of work because “We’re all in this together.”

    Actual conversation …

    Florida Man: “I got Covid early so I was immune.”

    Me: “How did you know it was Covid ? Were you tested for it ?” What were your symptoms ?

    FM: “N’ah, this was way early before they were testing anyone. Symptoms were abdominal cramps, not being able to keep food down, took me weeks to feel better.”

    Me: “Could it have possibly been food poisoning ? That stuff will kill you, you know ?”

    FM: N’ah, I’ve got a cast iron stomach.”

    Before we commenced peeing sitting down and finally curling up in fetal position, perhaps we could have learned from the “Mother of all Pandemics”, the so-called Spanish Flu.

    Oh right, the problem was that that was so far in the past there was scarcely anyone alive who could tell us what really happened.

    Alternatively, we could have surmised that almost none of our ancestors died or we might not be here.

    All you had to do was go in a Walmart to realize how bad we were being scammed.

    If there was an actual pandemic governments wouldn’t had to have issued shelter in place orders. People would have been cowering in their homes.

    Perhaps a fitting way to commemorate the dark joke that was Covid with a British drag queen …

    It is highly ironic that the staggering excess deaths of 2020ff can fairly be laid at the feet of public.

    Recall my article estimating that as many as a million cancer diagnoses may have been missed, in UK, because of lockdowns.

    And surprisingly (or unsurprisingly) cancer deaths did not go through the roof the following year.

    Were multitudes were saved from healthcare ?

    Even now the architects of pan-panic (and their narrative-clingers, you know who you are) are hiding behind the pathetic “How could we have known ?” excuse.

    It needs to be put down.

    I mean, how could we have known that establishing panic as policy would turn hospitals and nursing homes into killing fields ?

    How could we have known that shutting down livelihoods, isolating and gaslighting citizens would lead to deaths of despair ?

    How could we have known that the big boxers would flourish at the expense of the Mom and Pop’s ?

    Prescient article from early on …

    Are You Ready for the “No One Could Have Known” Routine?

    All you need for a pandemic is a rumor and a test. How many of you played this game ?
