Briefly Noted: Covid Summary

Also, KD Comments On A Medical Development

Brownstone Institute ran an article yesterday that provided a handy summary of salient facts that we know about the “pandemic”. The title is drawn from Cicero’s famous First Oration against Catiline and means: How long will you test our patience, Corona?

Quo usque tandem abutere, Corona, patientia nostra?

I’ll simply paste in the summary points, but there is also further discussion at the link. I’m pretty sure readers will be able to draw sensible conclusions on their own, but obviously #5 and #6 remain of paramount importance for our public order. The fact that very little of importance has changed over 18 months has its own importance. It suggests that salient facts were ignored by the officials best placed by education and profession to understand and act upon those known facts. They chose to act as if those facts were not known and the proper response was not known. That means that the Covid Hoax was more political and ideological in its nature than scientific or medical.

Eighteen months ago, I summarized the medical and epidemiological facts about Covid-19 and analyzed some of the conclusions to be drawn from these facts. 

The facts have not changed much since then:

1. The clinical symptoms of Covid-19 are those of a non-specific common cold or a flu; this also applies to the severe (pneumonia, possibly with involvement of other organs) and protracted (“Long Covid“) forms.

2. The age distribution of those who die “of and with” Corona does not differ significantly from the mortality profile of the general population; the average age of a Corona death is often even slightly higher than everybody else’s. Since 2020 however, several countries have been observing excess mortality rates in younger population groups which cannot be accounted for by Covid-19.

3. The diagnosis of Covid-19 is based on the detection of fragments of the SARS-CoV-2 virus on the nasal and pharyngeal mucosa of a patient (or a healthy individual). Differential diagnosis with other respiratory viruses is hardly ever carried out.

4. The treatment for Covid-19 infection remains purely symptomatic in most cases. In the meantime, a few antiviral agents (Molnupiravir, Paxlovid) and antibodies (Bebtelovimab) have been approved after clinical trials showed a reduction in “Covid-19 cases.” However, a reduction in pneumonia and/or deaths overall was only demonstrated for Molnupiravir – and this result in a prematurely terminated trial is scientifically being questioned.

5. In order to combat the “pandemic,” most of the world’s governments have imposed (and in some cases still impose) measures which are contrary to human rights and fundamental freedoms, without having conducted and evaluated any form of cost-benefit analysis of these measures. Undoubtedly, the political, economic and humanitarian costs are considerable, while any benefit remains at the very least doubtful. 

6. The (repeated) “vaccination” of the whole of humanity continues to be regarded as a noble political goal, although the only effect shown in the pivotal trials – a reduction in the transmission of the SARS Cov-2 virus in patients with common cold symptoms – has not been confirmed in clinical practice. A “protection against severe forms” is now postulated instead, but has never been proven. It has also become clear by now that those products, developed in less than a year, can cause serious side effects.

The extended discussion that follows the summary points focuses on two matters:

I would like to once again emphasize and elucidate two important conclusions resulting from these facts:

1. The “Corona deaths” are part of general and inevitable mortality

2. Demonstration of a reduction in “Covid-19 cases” is clinically meaningless

Karl Denninger comments fairly extensively today on an important medical story that we noted a few days ago. The medical story appears to confirm—something, again, that has been known for quite a while, including to Pfizer—that the spike protein travels essentially throughout the human organism, and does so as a result of the gene therapy medications irrespective of whether the person was ever infected with the Covid virus. The implication is that, since the spike protein is highly toxic, it must be presumed to be causing damage in every injection recipient—albeit in widely varying degrees. With that in mind, I offer these paragraphs from KD’s commentary, in which he points out that that presumption is confirmed by recently released data—which was only released as the result of a court order (more at the link):

Never mind that the CDC has been forced to release the V-SAFE database after being sued; they refused all the way back to June of 2021 to release it under FOIA and the courts finally forced it out.  It shows nearly 800,000 medical attention required adverse events in the United States following the jab with more than 2.5 million people unable to perform normal activities such as attending school or going to work, formally proving that these "vaccines" are the most-dangerous ever used in the United States by far.  In addition because V-SAFE is voluntary and clearly skewed toward higher-income white people, simply on the demographics of the reports, it is a clear under-report of the actual adverse event rate but the extent of that under-reporting cannot be accurately estimated.

May I point out that this sort of risk is why it typically takes 10 or even 20 years to qualify a new vaccine; contrary to popular belief and bullshit that flies out of both doctors and Internet scribe's mouths the full panoply of harms from a given medication, no matter what it is, often takes quite a while to be discovered and tabulated.  The human body, never mind every other animal, is an insanely-complex biochemical machine and we do not understand even 10% of all of the nuances that comprise it.  There is a litany of drugs that went through full qualification and testing yet were later proved to be extremely dangerous and had to be withdrawn and that is with the FULL approval process, not the bullshit that was run on people this time around.

All so-called "vector" medications, which include both the mRNA and "viral vector" jabs, are inherently dangerous.  The underlying presumption is that we can reprogram part of the cellular metabolism -- not impact it through chemical means or introduce a damaged part of a pathogen to trick the body into thinking its being invaded when it is not -- but rather to cause the body to produce a thing and thus cause the immune system to react to that and that we can absolutely control the scope and location of what happens after we introduce that intentional reprogramming.  In short the presumption behind this sort of medical "technology" is that we understand the immune system and cellular machinery in total and thus we can take that action and know it won't do bad things either immediately or down the road.  Perhaps at some point in the future a pathogen will show up that justifies taking such a risk despite knowing that we do not and likely never will understand the immune and body systems sufficiently well to categorize these risks …
