I want to elaborate further on the point I was trying to make in a facebook post I did yesterday, as a few people were triggered by it.
What I was trying to allude to is that I believe that the fear, panic, and hysteria being generated around this virus is just as if not more dangerous than the actual virus itself. For example, as we all know it has triggered the panic buying. But yesterday I saw firsthand the negative impact this is having when I picked up a disabled woman from Coles who got into my Uber with her bags nearly empty, because there was barely anything left for her. This was even despite her being given priority access. She also told me she has found it difficult to get the medication she needs. God knows how many other similar scenarios like this are occurring right now because of the selfishness and self preservation this panic and hysteria has triggered within people. All of which has been totally unnecessary, and media outlets like the Herald Sun which literally encouraged panic buying the other day on their front page should be absolutely ashamed and held to account by the public.
Of course I think that precautions need to be taken to protect the elderly and vulnerable from this virus, just like there should be every flu season. I don’t think people will find anyone disagreeing with that. But I also think that shutting down the entire planet and placing every single person into forced quarantine is possibly an extreme reaction. Especially when you compare the statistics of this virus with other diseases that cause many many more deaths, but don’t generate anywhere near the same panic, hysteria, and world lock-down. The ramifications that closing down the planet (I can’t even believe i’m typing those words, is this a dream???) will have on the economy and other industries are completely unknown, and may very well cause much more damage and hardship in people’s lives than this virus ever will. Therefore, rather than a very small percentage being affected, which occurs from viruses every year anyway, now billions and billions of people are being affected, and the ripple effects of this could be long lasting. It seems to me that when this dies down (which could be quite a while) the reaction might prove to be much more harmful than the virus. On many different levels.
And yes I have been told all of the reasons why this virus is different and more contagious than others that go around every year, and I’ve been told of the exponential growth that could occur if its not stopped now. But many of these “facts” and “statistics” are parroted around and repeated without any questioning as to their validity. Just because they come from an “official” source does not instantly make them true. A major problem in our world is that people blindly accept what they hear without ever challenging or scrutinising it just because it has come from an “authority”, especially considering official sources get things wrong all the time! The WHO (world health organisation) for example have been shown to get many things wrong during previous pandemics (please see the work of Jon Rappoport), with their doomsday predictions never coming to pass. And they have been shown to have suspicious ties with pharmaceutical companies, who obviously clearly have their own agendas. But people instantly forget all of this as soon as the next “pandemic” comes along. The history of the WHO is also very suss, especially considering it spawned from the Rothschild/Rockefeller families, and therefore its intention and agendas must also be scrutinsed. But again, people never do this. Just because its a major global institution it instantly gets recognised as the ‘truth’ without any questioning. And maybe scrutinising the WHO and all those involved will discover that on this one they have finally got it correct and that their intentions are completely pure and all they want to do is to help humanity. This seems extremely unlikely given their past history and origins, but if its the case then there is no reason why we can’t all go calmly into isolation without all of the madness and hysteria.
At this point of time, outside the mainstream sources, there are a number of people and specialists giving alternative perspectives that in my opinion are much more grounded in reality that what is being parroted around, but are sadly being completely drowned out by the tidal wave of fear and hysteria.
Here is a quote from a German pulmonologist (a specialist that deals specifically with diseases involving the respiratory tract) named Dr Wolfgang Wodarg (badass name I know!) who has actually worked specifically with coronaviruses in the past (here is a longer video of him explaining specifically why this global reaction is over the top and unfounded).
He says; “The corona hype is not based on any extraordinary public health danger. However, it causes considerable damage to our freedom and personal rights through frivolous and unjustified quarantine measures and restrictions. The images in the media are frightening and China’s cities seem to be regulated by the clinical thermometer. Evidence based epidemiological assessment is drowning in the mainstream of fear mongers in labs, media, and ministries.”
In the full video he elaborates very well why we have to firstly scrutinise more closely where the percentage deaths we are being told are happening are actually being tested. For example, if they are being tested in hospitals, or among the elderly or already unwell and vulnerable, then the percentage rate is going to be much higher than average and will not accurately reflect the percentage death rate among the population. As well, these tests must be verified from multiple sources, as must the very test itself that is being used, none of which is happening at the moment. Wolfgang also explains that coronaviruses are found in about 7-15% of every common flu that goes around each year. So if they did the testing they are doing now during any other year, there would be a certain percentage of people contracting and dying from respiratory diseases caused by coronaviruses. And this would be without people even having ever heard of them and therefore zero hype and panic being created.
Former congressmen Ron Paul also has some great things to say about all of this in a public statement he recently made. I highly recommend taking the time to read this as he explains very well the true purpose as to why this panic and hysteria is being engineered. And whilst he’s referring to the US, the same principles will apply here in Australia, and every country for that matter. After reading his quote below, I hope people can agree that whilst we want our loved ones to be healthy, we also want them to grow up in a world where their basic freedoms are still in tact. And a world that has not been taken over by utter madness and hysteria.
From Ron Paul –
“Governments love crises because when the people are fearful they are more willing to give up freedoms for promises that the government will take care of them. After 9/11, for example, Americans accepted the near-total destruction of their civil liberties in the PATRIOT Act’s hollow promises of security.
It is ironic to see the same Democrats who tried to impeach President Trump last month for abuse of power demanding that the Administration grab more power and authority in the name of fighting a virus that thus far has killed less than 100 Americans. Declaring a pandemic emergency on Friday, President Trump now claims the power to quarantine individuals suspected of being infected by the virus and, as Politico writes, “stop and seize any plane, train or automobile to stymie the spread of contagious disease.” He can even call out the military to cordon off a US city or state.
State and local authoritarians love panic as well. The mayor of Champaign, Illinois, signed an executive order declaring the power to ban the sale of guns and alcohol and cut off gas, water, or electricity to any citizen. The governor of Ohio just essentially closed his entire state.
The chief fearmonger of the Trump Administration is without a doubt Anthony Fauci, head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the National Institutes of Health. Fauci is all over the media, serving up outright falsehoods to stir up even more panic. He testified to Congress that the death rate for the coronavirus is ten times that of the seasonal flu, a claim without any scientific basis.
On Face the Nation, Fauci did his best to further damage an already tanking economy by stating, “Right now, personally, myself, I wouldn’t go to a restaurant.” He has pushed for closing the entire country down for 14 days.
Over what? A virus that has thus far killed just over 5,000 worldwide and less than 100 in the United States? By contrast, tuberculosis, an old disease not much discussed these days, killed nearly 1.6 million people in 2017. Where’s the panic over this?
If anything, what people like Fauci and the other fearmongers are demanding will likely make the disease worse. The martial law they dream about will leave people hunkered down inside their homes instead of going outdoors or to the beach where the sunshine and fresh air would help boost immunity. The panic produced by these fearmongers is likely helping spread the disease, as massive crowds rush into Walmart and Costco for that last roll of toilet paper.
The madness over the coronavirus is not limited to politicians and the medical community. The head of the neoconservative Atlantic Council wrote an editorial this week urging NATO to pass an Article 5 declaration of war against the COVID-19 virus! Are they going to send in tanks and drones to wipe out these microscopic enemies?
People should ask themselves whether this coronavirus “pandemic” could be a big hoax, with the actual danger of the disease massively exaggerated by those who seek to profit – financially or politically – from the ensuing panic.
That is not to say the disease is harmless. Without question people will die from coronavirus. Those in vulnerable categories should take precautions to limit their risk of exposure. But we have seen this movie before. Government over-hypes a threat as an excuse to grab more of our freedoms.”
