If You’re Not Confused

You probably don’t have a good understanding of what’s going on.

The Bitter Truth: There’s Still No Rhyme or Reason to COVID-19

Two presidents. Fifty states. One-hundred-and-ninety-five countries. A multitude of different approaches. And still, there’s no rhyme or reason to this pandemic.

Try as you might, you will not find a plausible way of blaming this on that party or region or policy that you hate.

No, you won’t. And there’s plenty of blame to go around.

Israel, which has done everything that the loudest critics on the Left wanted America to do, is nevertheless stuck in the throes of a devastating surge. Israel has instituted repeated and draconian lockdowns (enforced by drone, no less); it has used nationwide mask mandates; it has vaccinated everyone early — and even added booster shots into the mix; and it has even instituted a system of vaccine passports. And, right now? Well, it’s getting crushed. Per NPR, despite becoming “the first country on Earth to fully vaccinate a majority of its citizens against COVID-19,” it now “has one of the world’s highest daily infection rates. . . . Nearly one in every 150 people in Israel today has the virus.” I wonder: Is Israel a Red State or a Blue State?

There’s a few things to quibble about in this piece including some of the things he seems sure about, but the authors basic point is correct. There’s a lot we don’t know. One of the reasons my posts on covid seem schizophrenic is that I’m trying to follow the evidence and the evidence is all over the place. There’s also still a lot of fog to try and sort through, at least half or more of which comes from vested interests pushing personal agendas. As they say, welcome to complex systems.

  1. well, mebbe its a precursor to The End Times.
    ya, ya, ya the buybull thumpers been saying that for 100s years.
    diff is THIS TIME social, economic, political, biological, environmental, technical, military, etc factors are
    converging in a classic ‘perfect storm’.
    jist sayin’ . . . .

    1. I wonder, when the Jews start dropping like flies in 12-18 months

      Just wondering who they going to blame for the deaths this time around

      Oh Wait, That nasty Austrian company Pfizer eh?

  2. What we know: it’s designed to kill fat old people. So did anyone want to get rid of fat old people? CPP? Blue State pensions?

  3. Might be relevant:

    “Quebec is currently experiencing quite the RSV surge!

    Ontario is experiencing 0% RSV.

    The primary method for detecting SARS-CoV-2 in Ontario is the “FLUVID” test, which incidentally, also tests for RSV.”

    So…we have colds and/or the flu…plus some other more deadlier stuff, but we can’t tell the difference until someone is in the hospital or dead, then we just “round up” and count these as Very Bad Stuff.

    Sounds about right…

      1. That can’t be RSV. It has to be COVID. England is also experiencing a surge of frail elderly who lost their fitness due to the lockdowns and now have become even more frail so that very minor injuries and illnesses are landing them in hospital and requiring lengthy rehab to recover.

    1. What does RSV mean? Is it the case that the Piece of CRap test cannot distinguish between different viruses? only distinguish between some? It’s just of rhetorical interest for me now; I understand we have been lied to since day 1, and there has been no excuse since day 100 (the end of the Princess Diamond affair).

      1. The PCR worship is another monstrous political fraud.

        In and of itself, PCR is NOT a “test” for a specific “bug”.

        Polymerase Chain Reaction is an experimental process that seeks to find a “result” by oversampling and creative “mathematics”.

        Read more about it here:

        file:///G:/WORK%20STUFF/SCIENCE%20STUFF/KUNG%20FLU/Polymerase%20Chain%20Reaction%20(PCR)%20Fact%20Sheet_2.html

        As any sentient being who has ever been involved in electronics can tell you, AMPLIFICATION does more than just make the signal “bigger”

        It also makes the NOISE (unwanted signal) BIGGER in the same proportions. Furthermore the very process of amplification WILL introduce more noise generated within the active circuit components AND distortion generated by the function of all of the components and the limits of the circuit design and specifications. Even the layout of the circuit boards is critical in high-gain and RF devices. Anyone who has ever built a serious audio power amplifier that was unstable, despite all the calculations and careful component selection can attest to that.

        So, who “certifies” the goodies in the PCR toy-shop?

        This “amplification” of errors and aberrations is also a FEATURE in the optics world and others..

        TANSTAAFL and all that.

        Even the inventor of the process was publicly cautious about its use and significance.

  4. What’s the point of “vaccine passports” for the locals, when Roxham Road and incoming flights are still bringing folks, testing positive, or not vaxxed into the country? Anyone, Beuhler?
    Time to down tools folks and boot the commies supposedly “running” this Popsicle stand.

    1. Oh, I’m too harsh? Forcing people to become vaccinated isn’t, especially when the “case” count is still maintained by a discredited PCR test, to gin up the numbers, the suppression of cheaper, better I might add alternatives to maintain our charade of this bogus “pandemic”? Especially when suppressing who and where this all originated from…. CHINA. By the way, they’re still dealing with their own creation back home, but you’ll never here that from your bought and paid for media. https://www.china-briefing.com/news/china-coronavirus-updates-latest-developments-business-advisory-part-2/
      https://nypost.com/2021/08/02/millions-in-china-under-lockdown-amid-covid-19-outbreak/

      Oh yeah, there’s that Delta variant, too. “Imported” too according to the CHICOMS. Gotta maintain the charade that COVID came from somewhere else, other than CHINA. Bets there are some richer politicos pumping “vaccines” here that aren’t vaccines and collecting a paycheck from Peking for doing so. The “Great Reset” called depopulation. Your Provincial Premiers are the biggest proponents of this, folks plus their snivel serpent supporters who got paid and raises during COVID Time, while you got sidelined and went belly up.

    2. Stop calling them vaccine passports. That’s cover for what it really is. It’s a vaccine ID card you have to use to get into “non essential” businesses and has nothing to do with travel. Travel is going to be banned every fall anyway.

  5. I agree we don’t know what we don’t know about covid; its origins for starters.

    But we nevertheless know a lot about covid.

    That like any virus it mutates into more transmissible but less infectious variants.

    We also know the vast majority of so-called experts don’t know that they know nothing about covid, and couldn’t be bothered to find out, while pretending genius.

    Which means we should know they’re incompetent, like Australians finally realized.

    We also know they don’t care about the true cost of their partisan power pronouncements.

    Which makes many of them feel important, happier and wealthier while far removed from their totalitarian induced shared misery.

    If you don’t want to be ruled then get rid of the rulers!

    1. We DO know it’s origins (look up David Martin’s interview with Reiner Fuellmich). And we know why the illness rate is highest where the injection rate is highest. The injections are dangerous and cause all the Covid symptoms.

      1. Show me your evidence. No we don’t know. Sounds right is not good enough. That’s what covidiots do.
        We don’t have scientific confirmation because China destroyed and suppressed confirmatory (I believe) data.
        We can suspect or believe, or be quite sure of our evidence, but that doesn’t prove it. Believing is not knowing.
        That’s the grey area the collectivists catch you on. That’s what I’m saying, which is consistent with my argument.
        I use that as an example not something for totalitarian twits to ponder how many princes can dance on the head of a pin.

    2. Partly, the problems was that even the “experts” became bamboozled by the propaganda meme that it was a NEW virus and NO ONE had immunity. Neither statement was or is true. After the hysteria came the insanity AKA lockdowns, senseless policies, witch hunts, etc.

  6. And yet the flu has been wiped out completely in some places. And replaced with a new ‘covid 19’ disease with the exact same symptoms.
    My uncle died of cancer after years of fighting it… we all thought until the hospital listed cause of death as covid 19.
    A best friend’s father died of heart disease after years of fighting it… we all thought until the hospital listed cause of death as covid 19.

    Corrupt Bast**ds. I can not believe any of the numbers coming from the government agencies.

    1. … the flu has been wiped out completely … replaced with a new ‘covid 19’ disease with the exact same symptoms.

      Odd, that; init.

      If you can remember that far back, Before Covid, old people and people with bad health used to die of pneumonia and influenza.

      1. I’m not sure, but I think it was R. A. Heinlein who said:

        “The meek shall inherit the Earth.

        The brave will take the stars.

        Alt:

        The meek shall inherit the earth; in plots 8 x 6 x 3.

      1. You’re saying conservative radio host Marc Bernier is still alive? Hallelujah! Why did I ever believe any of the dozens of news reports. I should be listening to SDAnons instead!

  7. But we’re into the 4th wave and we’re going to have to elect the one who can save us.

    What’s the latest from Doc Tam?

  8. What do we know?
    Usually the most logical has the odds in its favour.
    The virus, it’s origins of a most dubious nature, came from Wuhan.
    It apparently defies all established norms for treatment and mutates at a rate that does not allow vaccine treatment to reduce infection rates before the next variant spike occurs.
    The death rate is low, and survival rates are in the high 90 percent.
    The trouble with this virus is that patients hospitalized take up ICU resources for days not hours, and the current hospice model is not designed for any stay beyond triage.
    The virus seems to work exponentially in a cycle, with each cycle the authorities panic becoming more intense.
    The easily frightened are agreeable to something termed a vaccine passport without consideration for what happens when you allow the state to make permanent rules for temporary measures.

    1. Joseph, you haven’t quite grasped it all. It is not a new virus and its origins, like everything abpout this virus, has become political. Also, treatment of any illness, and many cases are not ill, is forbidden; go home and wait until you get ill enpough for hosptrial (and then death) is what is allowed. There are plenty of treatments, and even fewer than the already small percentage of genuinely infected cases would die. But such treatments are forbidden as only the vaccine is allowed. All must have the vaccine, two three any number of times; there’s money to be made. Remember, if there were treatments, the experimental vaccines would not be allowed.

      A deep evil is sweeping the world and it’s not covid-19.

  9. Geert Vanden Bossche explains.

    “Conducting a mass vaccination experiment at a global scale without understanding the mechanisms underlying viral escape from vaccine-mediated selection pressure is not only a colossal scientific blunder but, first and foremost, completely irresponsible from the perspective of individual and public health ethics.”

    https://www.geertvandenbossche.org/post/why-the-ongoing-mass-vaccination-experiment-drives-a-rapid-evolutionary-response-of-sars-cov-2

    It’s pretty clear that the virus isn’t going away, because the “vaccines” are driving variant emergence, and that foolishly doubling down on inoculations will only further exacerbate the problem.

    The only thing we don’t know is how many of those in charge are willfully maliciously screwing up, and how many are just useful idiots along for the ride.

    1. The only thing we don’t know is how many of those in charge are willfully maliciously screwing up, and how many are just useful idiots along for the ride.

      I’d make that comment of the month. I will say Dr. Faustus is one of the wilfull.

  10. I’m guessing you did not read the article about how National Review and others were bought off by big tech that just came out from Emerald Robinson.

  11. “There is a lot we don’t know”.
    There in fact is nothing we know about the franken vax.
    Those that made it know nothing other that they will make billions and billions as Sagan would say.
    The ‘experts’ don’t know, they just sound off to say, say something, say anything, after all they are the experts.
    Nobody knows, the concoction’s effects are not known.
    The effects on pregnant women and their babies are not known.
    The concoction is generically modified virus Made in China, just like everything else, maybe possibly with a little help from Winnipeg.
    If you actually get to say any of this to the ‘experts’, they will come up with a load of bullshit that will be related to you, not the concoction.

  12. Geez, according to our esteemed and former ambassador to Israel the honorable Beverly Bercovici who as I’ve come to understand is an “awesome writer” and really super smart – Israel has done everything right. Severe lockdowns…green cards…masks, shoving swabs into the brains of 3 year olds and almost total vaccination.
    But after cases started spiking they consulted Pfizer and were told vaccinations lose efficacy after three months so it’s time to roll out the booster.
    Seriously, there are times I think people need an effing 2×4 across their face. Did you catch that? Vaccinations do nothing.
    Reminds me of the quote from Anton Chigurh in “No Country for Old Men” …“If the rule you followed brought you to this…of what use was the rule?”

  13. “One of the reasons my posts on covid seem schizophrenic is that I’m trying to follow the evidence and the evidence is all over the place. ”

    If you followed the evidence as it was known in July 2019 I think it might become a lot clearer. Part of that evidence is that everything that is happening was predictable, because it was predicted. There is nothing new under this sun.

  14. “at least half or more of which comes from vested interests pushing personal agendas” – only HALF, Kate??

  15. Then there’s this: https://www.libertycoalitioncanada.com/open-letter-to-universities-and-colleges

    Of course this also applies to those businesses that require vaccines to keep your job, or even do business with them. Illegal and unconstitutional. Your Provincial governments are stepping out of their lanes as well. by mandating you get vaccinated, despite your medical status with regards to COVID, maintained by bogus PCR “tests”.
    Who is running this country, the media hypochondriacs? Provinces want all to be vaxxed, to keep the lawsuits at bay from their poorly thought out, Fascist policies on COVID. We’re not their damned property,nor are we the property of any city contemplating any COVID policies that restrict your freedoms.

  16. The PDF that’s been linked to has a number of duplicated paragraphs in it (about a page’s worth).
    Clean-up in aisle 7!

  17. The entire problem with this virus is that in 2019 the WHO changed all the standard epidemiological protocols recommended for handling a relatively mild respiratory virus. Instead, they adopted the Chinese recommendations of mass lockdowns and then mass vaccination. They created unwarranted fear and terror. Their mass vaccination program spawned a multitude of nasty variants. Much of what they do now is because the panicked traumatized public is demanding stupid measures like masking and passport which DO NO GOOD! They are now chasing their tails and have caught them and don’t know what to do to stop.

    The answer? Sweden.

  18. What the FUCK are all guys yapping about:

    “..Try as you might, you will not find a plausible way of blaming this on that party or region or policy that you hate…”

    EXCUSE ME..???

    all of those mentioned in my first comment 100% GUILTY of CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY.
    I’ll happily supply the hemp….rope

  20. There are a number of things that seem bleeding obvious to me:

    The vaccine does not work as it doesn’t prevent spread of the virus.
    Israel must be nearing herd immunity; why resist it.
    The virus is not that deadly; the hysteria should end.
    Masks and lockdowns do not work.

    1. Yes. Leaving a virus to run its course which leads eventually to herd immunity makes sense to me. I think a lot of the confusion relates to the nonsense of believing that humans are capable of stopping a virus. It’s wishful thinking. A vaccine might mitigate death counts, but the virus will make its way through the population, regardless, with most people not dying. I think the death toll is still less than 1%, but we have allowed panic to drive policies.

      1. Does the vaccine mitigate deaths, or is the current dominant variant just much less lethal now?

        Where are the studies that prove it’s the vaccines working to prevent bad outcomes, and not simply that there are fewer bad outcomes in this wave?

        1. “Does the vaccine mitigate deaths . . .”

          In people at low risk (such as children), the genetic manipulation therapy is more pathogenic than the disease.

          ” . . . or is the current dominant variant just much less lethal now?”

          The common course of a viral pandemic is for the virus to mutate to become more transmissible, but the disease symptoms to become less severe, because this is what promotes survival of the virus. The dead cannot serve as hosts and vectors. Even those who are merely visibly severly ill are poor vectors, as they are avoided by potential new hosts. The politicians and media are trying to drum up more panic over the increased transmissibility of the new variants, but this, in normal times, would be considered evidence that the virus is becoming an endemic cause of cold like symptoms, i.e. good news.

          1. That’s basically what I’ve learned from following the suppressed experts.

            A reference would be helpful, especially since your answers differ so from the preferred narrative. Others may not feel confident passing on such important info without one. Also, I’d like to add it to my collection.

            T.U.

  21. Greg Alberta posted this in Reader Tips. It is excellent. It explains why the vaccines are not preventing transmission. I think it is quite powerful. I suspect that the US Congress will not be demanding vax passports be implemented. It looks too much like an attack on Blacks.
    https://youtu.be/vRpyM1bIiCY

    1. One point of clarification: This was a committee hearing in the Michigan House of Representatives, not the US Congress.

    2. Thanks for that Excellent resource, LindaL!

      Important note. She mentioned inoculation into the blood stream. I don’t know how the others she mentioned are injected, but the Covid is supposed to go into the muscle. If it mistakenly gets into the blood, it will then go to the heart, liver, spleen, ovaries, bone marrow, etc., etc. That is a worst case scenario, but can easily occur, and the results in animals includes many pathologies, among them death.

      It could just have been a slip of the tongue, and certainly does not detract from her message. I just thought it’s important to know. Better a slip of the tongue than a slip of the needle – so very easy to do when giving shots for hours at a time.

  22. I KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON. GIVE ME A SHOUT IF YOU REALLY WANT THE TRUTH. Many have stated it here but most are so ignorant they can’t grasp the reality.

  23. Your naivety is showing there Oz. The first duty of government is to protect itself.

  24. I know exactly what’s going on: We are being cynically lied to and manipulated in an effort to remove what precious little is left of our freedoms.
    I know as many people who have robbed a bank or killed a man as I do who have died of the flumanchu. 6 degrees of separation between any two humans on the planet. Open your eyes, and trust nothing but your own senses.

    1. “We are being cynically lied to and manipulated . . .”

      Pay no attention to what is posted on the UN and WEF websites. Those people are just a bunch of conspiracy theory whackjobs.

      “I know as many people who have robbed a bank or killed a man as I do who have died of the flumanchu.”

      I wish I could say the same. I don’t know anyone who has died of the flumanchu.

  25. Well said, Oz.
    There was once a day when the gov’t would try to prevent panic, instead of fomenting it. Not one single western institution is fit for purpose. Govern yourself accordingly.

  26. The way the CDC presents data it’s almost like they are trying to avoid any actual facts from leaking out.

    Before I retired, my job was to design systems to analyze complex and voluminous data such as this and make sense out of it for people who needed to make decisions based on it. The data should be displayed by MSA or metropolitan statistical area. These are clusters of counties where people share a common economic life, within which people work and commute to work, route salesmen travel between stores, etc, which are more politically homogenous than a state, for example.

    State level data is too broad and contains way too much overlap between dissimilar regions. The pandemic in Miami was very different than the pandemic in Tallahassee, for example, and NYC is nothing like Corning, NY. You are never going to make sense of what is going on on a state level, it’s stupid to try and no wonder the writer threw up his hands.

    My programming skills are likely too rusty though and my favorite scripting language (TAWK) has been discontinued.

    1. It’s been pretty obvious for a while now that they are being as opaque as possible. Thanx for shedding some additional light on that.

  27. Brought to you by the same people that claim with sufficient taxation they can change the climate.
