Some want to call this COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak a disaster. Why? Is it because we’ve allowed the Main Stream Media (MSM) to control the narrative on this pandemic? Or is it because we’ve given over our rights to left-wing governors who have locked down their respective states? Or maybe it is because we get no true perspective from any of the social media outlets on which we, for some reason, seem to rely. Surely it is not all the scientists and doctors that apparently fear repercussions if they actually invoke the scientific facts of this pandemic.
The public has been inundated with hyperbolic reporting of the media. So much so that many no longer hear them and generally ignore their scare mongering. “No matter how much the media sullenly reports – and spins – the numbers … no matter how many tragic anecdotal reports they present … the American people are just not going to shutdown in the numbers that [some] scientists believe are necessary.”
When the public receives so much information that seems to confirm the extreme dangers of this virus it becomes exasperatingly difficult to introduce any counter-arguments that show and seem to prove the this pandemic is not as dangerous, or deadly, as the MSM presents. In other words, the counter evidence is there, in great numbers, but that evidence is rarely reported or considered because of the “bubble” created by a media, both social and main stream, that only allows one point of view.
Meanwhile we have left-wing governors who apparently also want to ignore the science that does not support their common paradigm. These governors ignore the dangerous outcomes of their decisions in order to be seen as “intelligently and compassionately” following the science. Many of these are governors of the same states that have the highest number of reported COVID cases and deaths. California, for instance, has what is probably the most draconian set of rules for preventing the spread of COVID, but is rated among the highest in reported cases. What better proof that lockdowns don’t work.
At least Gov. Coumo of New York, another state with very restrictive rules supposedly designed to limit the spread of COVID, has apparently finally come to the conclusion that lockdowns are more deadly than the virus itself. It still reveals, however, that it is economics and politics that have influenced the decisions of these governors. Science had little to do with it.
Is COVID deadly? Of course it is! But, it is proven to be most deadly to the elderly, and those with a pre-existing health condition that was exacerbated by the virus. There is also a great deal of evidence, both anecdotal and systematic scientific studies, that a great number of the deaths attributed to the COVID-19 coronavirus should have been reported as caused by the pre-existing condition.
Whether political, or reactionary to the misleading scaremongering, these false findings have done nothing more than add to the fear of a virus that in reality is no deadlier than the seasonal flu. A recent inquiry into the reason that reported cases of the flu has declined this season has verified two results. One is the obvious fact that the lockdown, masks, and social distancing measures likely prevented flu from spreading at the same rate as in previous flu seasons. Kaiser Permanente flu expert Dr. Randy Bergen says there may be fewer flu cases because many children are at home and not with their friends.
“Flu always starts in the schools. It starts with children,” Bergen said in the report.
But the other, more relevant reason, is that a large number of flu cases have been reported as COVID cases. “There may be quite a number of influenza cases included in the ‘presumed COVID’ category of people who have COVID symptoms (which Influenza symptoms can be mistaken for), but are not tested for SARS RNA,” explains epidemiologist Knut Wittkowksi. Dr. Deborah Birx, the previous response coordinator for the White House coronavirus task force said, “There are other countries that if you had a pre-existing condition, and let’s say the virus caused you to go to the ICU [intensive care unit] and then have a heart or kidney problem,” she said during a news briefing at the White House. “Some countries are recording that as a heart issue or a kidney issue and not a COVID-19 death.” Birx said the federal government [on the other hand] is continuing to count suspected COVID-19 deaths, despite other nations doing the opposite. “The intent is … if someone dies [when they are positive for] COVID-19, we are counting that [as a COVID-19 death],” she said.
So, yes, COVID, though deadly is not as deadly as we have been led to believe. As far as the number of real scientists and doctors that believe we have been dealing with this virus incorrectly, they number in the thousands. It is simply that we are prevented from hearing from them. Below is a list of just a few of those thousands. Many have attempted to discredit the veracity of many on this list, claiming they are not qualified to speak on this issue, but a investigation into their credentials prove otherwise.
Following is a list of just a few of the many scientists who believe we are taking the wrong approach in dealing with the COVID-19 Coronavirus; included are websites that verify each scientist’s or doctor’s credentials:
