The Lockdown Has Been Described as Medieval Medicine. It Is.

Nazi Ideology & The Dark Occult - Then and Now, Science & Technology

THIS IS NOT A HUMAN SOCIETY. THIS IS GOVERNMENT SANCTIONED INSANITY.

 

The article below was posted on derrynow.com on April 20th, 2020

Anne McCloskey is a retired GP and is also an Aontú councillor on Derry City and Strabane District Council. In this article, she highlights her concerns over the impact that the ongoing coronavirus lockdown is having on society.

I suppose it was the sight of our Bishop Donal Mc Keown, furtively going at dawn to bless the graves of the faithful departed in Derry’s main cemetery on Easter Sunday morning that finally made me realise that something isn’t right here.

Overnight, it seems, all basic civil liberties have been withdrawn.

We are under virtual house arrest, and we stay where we are told.

We stay because of the honourable desire not to make a bad situation worse by our actions.

We stay at home to save lives, and protect the NHS. That’s what we’ve been told. Our politicians are being “led by the science”, and we trust them.

The stoical acceptance by the entire population of this lockdown-the total suspension of civil society, the denial of the right to work and earn a living, to see relatives and friends, to socialize, to move around, to go to church, to play sport – is a testament to the heroism of our people.

Lions led by donkeys. 3.6 billion people worldwide are likewise arbitrarily detained.

What we are not being told is that there is no scientific evidence whatsoever of the benefits of a lockdown, and a growing awareness that the cure may be much worse than the disease.

Coronavirus has swept across the world causing illness and the premature death of many thousands of our people, especially as might be expected, of the elderly and ill.

It behaves much as we expect pandemics to. They are bad news.

Since the severity of infection seems to be related to initial viral load, Covid 19 has tragically killed many young and healthy frontline health workers, who were in close contact with very ill patients, without even the most basic of protective equipment.

This was a catastrophic failure of care brought about by a healthcare sector which has been under-funded and under-equipped for decades.

Lions led by donkeys again.

Covid 19 is a new disease, and the behavior and characteristics of the causal agent are largely unknown.

The science on which our politicians rely is disputed by some of the most eminent professors across the globe, and there are widely varying views as how best to minimize mortality.

What is not in dispute is that any infectious disease spreads from those who have it to those who haven’t.

When Covid was identified in China and later spread to Europe, and when courageous and decisive decisions could have made a real difference nothing was done.

When airports should have been shut down, the Cheltenham race meeting went blithely ahead, and planeloads of rugby fans from the eye of the epidemic in Italy were landed in Dublin and allowed to enjoy the pubs and clubs of the capital.

Basic epidemiology concerning an island would have dictated that to have closed the country down at that stage would be sensible. It wasn’t done.

What is also not disputed is that early identification of Covid cases by testing those with symptoms, and then tracing and isolation of contacts could have made a real difference.

But the lack of systems, equipment and most importantly the vision to implement the programme meant valuable weeks were lost.

So, after not doing what might have worked, the politicians now follow “the science.”

What we are not told is that this is based on computer modelling, calculating predicted mortality rates without having any idea of the denominator in the equation.

A primary school child could tell you that you can’t calculate a percentage outcome without two numbers!

The mortality rate is the number of deaths divided by the total numbers of people infected. The second number we don’t know.

Global experts in epidemiology, virology and infection control differ widely in their opinions, but what seems likely is that for the vast majority of our population Covid 19 will be a mild illness, with perhaps four out of five people who are infected having few or no symptoms. Many of us will already have had it. This seems to be the pattern in other countries.

The test being done now looks for viral RNA, and is only positive during active infection. It does not tell if one has had the disease in the past, and is immune. The serological RDT antibody test, not yet being done here, which measures past infection, and hence immunity rates, should give more useful information.

But meantime, as if to make up for lost time, the country is shut down.

The projected mortality rates from Imperial College and others, upon which the lockdown and hysterical media coverage is predicated is only that-a prediction, unsupported by facts.

We simply do not know how dangerous Covid 19 is.

So the relentless media images of mass graves, competition for ventilators, acres of intensive care beds manned by soldiers and students do not reflect reality.

In the north, 1300 NHS beds are occupied, 1900 unoccupied.

Entire hospital wings are empty, the Covid centres are quiet. Hopefully this will continue. This is broadly speaking the situation across these islands.

People are tragically dying, of course, in this pandemic.

But it is now estimated by people working on the ground that at least half of the excess deaths may be due to the lockdown itself, and the fear it generates, as well as to suspension of much of the vital work which the health service always does.

“Hospital avoidance”, the fear of contact with places where the disease may be, makes people reluctant to seek help for serious medical problems.

Of sixty people scheduled to have diagnostic endoscopies to check for cancer in Dublin on a day last week, only four attended.

Many others have difficulty accessing appointments or assessments. The suspension of normal service is leading to delays in diagnosis and treatment and is costing many lives.

Lockdown is not, of course, as is its supporters imply, a question of saving human life versus mere money. This is not the algorithm.

The inevitable catastrophic drop in economic activity, the millions pushed into unemployment, unable to pay rents or feed their families, the small businesses closed which will never open again, the fall in tax revenue to pay for our health service and welfare provision-all of this is not outcome neutral.

As always, the poor and less able will be disproportionately affected. Many will die and many more will have their lives changed forever.

Our children will be paying for a generation. We are heading for austerity the likes of which we have never seen.

There is real distress. We hear stories of heroism and communities pulling together.

But there are other narratives-of the alcohol misuse and domestic chaos that confinement can worsen, the isolation and loneliness of our older people, the worsening of mental health problems from lack of services and support, the despair of those whose small businesses are unlikely ever to open again, or those who are now unwaged.

We see children not getting to school and the restless frustration of our young, denied the company of their peers and the unique, magical, never to be repeated joy of springtime as a teenager.

People are being told that to go outside is akin to inflicting death on their neighbours and betraying the NHS staff.

That they must not visit family and friends, even at a 2m distance, that they can’t walk on beaches or in the parks even in family groups. That they seek the comforts given by the off-license, but not of the churches.

This is non-evidence-based insanity.

We also know that countries where hygiene measures, social distancing, contact tracing and isolation of the vulnerable are being used are having comparable medical outcomes to those who have opted for total lockdown.

Countries where leaders have had the courage to choose not to trash their economies and subject their people to a denial of autonomy and human rights unprecedented in world history.

We will not easily recover from this pandemic.

The virus will pass.

But as a society, and in terms of how we regard concepts such as autonomy, rights and freedom, all is changed.

Lockdown has been described as medieval medicine. It is.

But it is also the abandonment of good people by a craven, intellectually deficient and morally bereft political class.

Blowing the Whistle on COVID-19

A great episode of The HighWire that once again exposes the lies in the mainstream media's reporting about "the pandemic" and also exposes the corona virus measures that have been taken straight from the Nazi playbook.

 

Perspectives on the Pandemic – Professor Knut Wittkowski PhD

Science & Technology, The Corona Virus Cult
Published on

I came across this interview online today and it absolutely blew me away. This gentleman is the professor that you will Never, Ever see on CNN, BBC or any other BS mainstream network, because his very detailed explanation about the corona virus detonates a nuclear bomb under the official story for "the pandemic".

Let me give you his credentials first as outlined in the transcript of the interview:

Dr. Wittkowski received his PhD in computer science from the University of Stuttgart and his ScD (Habilitation) in Medical Biometry from the Eberhard-Karls-University Tuüingen, both Germany. He worked for 15 years with Klaus Dietz, a leading epidemiologist who coined the term “reproduction number”, on the Epidemiology of HIV before heading for 20 years the Department of Biostatistics, Epidemiology, and Research Design at The Rockefeller University, New York. Dr. Wittkowski is currently the CEO of ASDERA LLC, a company discovering novel treatments for complex diseases from data of genome-wide association studies.

What Dr. Wittkowski also says at the very end of the interview is:

I’m Knut Wittkowski. I was at the Rockefeller University, I have been an epidemiologist for 35 years, and I have been modeling epidemics for 35 years. It’s a pleasure to have the ability to help people to understand, but it’s a struggle to get heard.

Well, Professor Wittkowski, I heard you. 

I don't promote anything with the name Rockefeller as they are part of the cabal that is at the root of The New World Order, but Professor Wittkowski very clearly isn't part of that agenda.

His scientific and razor sharp analysis of the data on the Corona Virus is truly mind-blowing and proves without a shadow of a doubt, that the global lockdown and measures like social distancing have actually exacerbated what would have otherwise been a regular flu season.

I don't normally post a lot of text as an introduction to a video, but these statements are of the utmost importance for a proper understanding of what is really going on with this so called "epidemic". These are some excerpts from the transcript:

[02:33.24]  JOHN: And so, what do you make of the policy that was enacted in the United States and England and most places throughout the world, this policy of containment, shelter-in-place, etc.? What’s your opinion of it?
[02:47.05]  WITTKOWSKI: Well, what people are trying to do is flatten the curve. I don’t really know why. But, what happens is if you flatten the curve, you also prolong, to widen it, and it takes more time. And I don’t see a good reason for a respiratory disease to stay in the population longer than necessary.
[03:06.17]  JOHN: And what do you say to people who just say, “We just didn’t know about the lethality of this virus and it was the smartest thing to do, to do what we did, and contain everybody, because we just didn’t have the data.”
[03:23.16]  WITTKOWSKI: We had two other SARS viruses before. Or, coronaviruses. It’s not the first coronavirus that comes out, and it won’t be the last. And for all respiratory diseases, we have the same type of an epidemic. If you leave it alone, it comes for two weeks, it peaks, and it goes for two weeks and it’s gone.

 

[04:27.09]  LIBBY: Do you believe the Chinese statistics? Do you think they’ve lied to us? Do you believe the stats that have come out of China?
[04:36.09]  WITTKOWSKI: The epidemic has ended there, yes. Because otherwise, we would see people emerging—and even in China, it’s today very difficult to keep information under the hood. If there were lots of cases in hospitals, if the hospitals that they built, the temporary hospitals, were still full, we would hear that. This could not be suppressed.
[05:03.25]  JOHN: During the press briefing yesterday, Fauci, and the President, and the rest of the people assembled, were saying that, had they not done the containment strategy that they have done, that upwards of 2 million people would have died in the United States. What do you think of that figure?
[05:22.27]  WITTKOWSKI: Well, I’m not paid by the government, so I’m entitled to actually do science. If the government, if there had been no intervention, the epidemic would have been over, like every other respiratory disease epidemic.
 
[08:16.20]  LIBBY: So, what accounts, then, for the fact that the hospitals are suddenly more overrun than they have been in a previous flu season, and for world leaders and the news media just going crazy?
[08:29.26]  WITTKOWSKI: Funding for hospitals has, as everybody knows, not increased recently. So, hospitals had to cut down, and, therefore, they now have to run their emergency plans, which is not terrible. That’s what they have been planning for, for decades, so if they have to put up some tents in Central Park, that’s not the end of the world. The tents are there, they’re maintained very well, and they will be there for a few weeks—three, four, maybe, and then the crisis will be over. This is not a situation nobody has ever thought about.
[09:16.07]  JOHN: Do you really think that there’s a major shortage of masks, and things like this?
[09:21.13]  WITTKOWSKI: Of what?
[09:21.13]  JOHN: Masks and PPE and all this? What do you think about all that? Why should there be a shortage of those things?
[09:28.00]  WITTKOWSKI: Because people are getting crazy now and it’s almost like the toilet paper […].

 

[10:19.14]  JOHN: Right. What do you think about their latest figure that because of, they claim that because of social distancing, that we’ve saved ourselves from the 2 million dead, but that we are probably looking at 150-200,000 dead, though they’ve said that it’s possible that it could be lower, if we are really, really good about social distancing, etc. What do you think about their new estimate of death?
[10:52.12]  WITTKOWSKI: Social distancing definitely is good. It prevented the sky from falling down.
[11:00.04]  JOHN: Are you being ironic?
[11:01.19]  WITTKOWSKI: Of course! I don’t know where these numbers are coming from—they’re totally unrealistic. There are no indications that this flu is fundamentally different from every other flu. We know what happened in China, we know what happened in South Korea, we know what happened, or is happening, in Europe. There are no indications that anything is different from a regular flu. Maybe it’s a bit worse than other flus—could be?
[11:32.02]  For a respiratory disease, the flu ends during springtime, that people spend more time outdoors because outdoors, the viruses cannot easily spread. That is a form of containment, spending more time outdoors.
[11:55.00]  JOHN: So, we’re now spending more time indoors. We’ve been told to go indoors. Isn’t that—doesn’t that help keep the virus going?
[12:03.17]  WITTKOWSKI: It keeps the virus healthy, yeah.
[12:08.19]  LIBBY: So we should be told to go outdoors?
[12:10.18]  WITTKOWSKI: Yeah. Going outdoors is what stops every respiratory disease.

 

[13:00.14]  JOHN: Now, it’s interesting that you say that, because at Imperial College, you know Neil Ferguson has changed his estimate of the number of dead in England from 500,000 to 20,000 or less, and he says that that is because of social distancing. Now, we also know that the way in which social distancing was implemented in England was not very severe, or extreme, or efficient, so this was after one day of lockdown, he announced that in fact, it would be 20,000 or less. Is there any possibility that that number would have changed that way because of the social distancing?
[13:46.14]  WITTKOWSKI: No. Actually, we have data for that.
[13:53.23]  I looked into the claim that people make that, in China and South Korea, the social distancing had successfully helped to control the epidemic. I looked at the dates when people actually started social distancing. In China, the epidemic peaked on February 1st to February 5th, in that period. But the schools were not closed until February the 20th—that was 2 weeks later. In South Korea, we have a similar pattern. In Daegu, or however that city is being pronounced, where the Church of Shincheonji had that outbreak. The self-quarantine was ordered only on February the 23rd, but the peak in that city happened; the national distancing was not advised until February the 29th, so that’s a week later, when the national peak happened. So, both in China and in South Korea, social distancing started only long after the number of infections had already started to decline, and therefore had very little impact on the epidemic. That means they had already reached herd immunity or were about to reach herd immunity. They were very close. But by installing the social distancing, they prevented it to actually getting to the final point, and this is why we are still seeing new cases in South Korea, several weeks after the peak.
[16:02.18]  JOHN: You said that this is the sort of contagion, because it’s airborne, that you can’t deal with by doing tracing or by social distancing. Explain why that is.
[16:16.20]  WITTKOWSKI: One thing is tracing with an airborne disease is even more difficult than tracing with a sexually transmitted disease which is difficult enough, as we know from AIDS. Most people know who they had contact with, sexual contact with, over the last two weeks. As a human being traveling the subway in New York and doing other things in New York that we just have to do in New York, I couldn’t tell you who the two three four hundred thousand people are I came in contact with over the last two weeks. So, contrast [Editor’s note: contact] tracing for a respiratory disease is impossible.
[17:02.23]  JOHN: Why doesn’t containment work for an airborne disease?
[17:06.07]  WITTKOWSKI: You cannot stop the spread of a respiratory disease within a family, and you cannot stop it from spreading with neighbors, with people who are delivering, who are physicians—anybody. People are social, and even in times of social distancing, they have contacts, and any of those contacts could spread the disease. It will go slowly, and so it will not build up herd immunity, but it will happen. And it will go on forever unless we let it go.

 

[22:43.04]  LIBBY: Speaking of the numbers, I noticed in your paper, you said that in mid-March there was a change in the reporting system. What was that all about?
[22:50.18]  WITTKOWSKI: This is not the first time it happens. On March 20th, Germany changed its reporting system and suddenly, a lot of cases that had not been reported before were reported. But this is not a sudden increase in cases. Over all, this had no impact on the dynamic of the German epidemic. It increased until about March 27th or so, and has been stable or declining since. The problem in this disease is that reporting and diagnosing are not separated and recorded differently. In the AIDS epidemic, every case was reported with a day of diagnosis and a day of reporting. For whatever reason, this standard developed during the AIDS epidemic is not being employed here. So, we cannot deconvolute this data.
[24:25.22]  In Italy there was a spike on one day, there was a spike on one day in Norway. But we have seen now so many of these spikes, they last for one day and then the numbers go back to where it was before. So, we are not really scared anymore if we see something changing very fast. Nature doesn’t jump. As people have known for a long time. The course of an epidemic is always smooth. There is never a ten-fold increase in number of cases from one day to the other.
[25:08.17]  There is nothing to be scared about. This is a flu epidemic like every other flu. Maybe a bit more severe, but nothing that is fundamentally different from the flus that we see in other years.
[25:33.23]  JOHN: What do you think accounts for the difference in response this time than say to the Swine Flu in 2009? Why are we suddenly so much more panicked and having shut the world down? What do you think is going on?
[25:50.10]  WITTKOWSKI: I think at least one factor is the internet. People are using the internet now much more often, and so news, wrong or false, is spreading the globe within hours, if not minutes. And so, let’s say 50 years ago, we would read in the paper that about a week ago there was an epidemic of flu in the United States or in China or somewhere else, and at that time, it was already over. So, people would say, “Okay, that happens all the time.” Now, what we read is, “Oh! There were 785 cases in the Vatican for two days” Eh, maybe not. And even if it was a reporting error, these stories are circulating the world and contributing to chaos and people being afraid of things they shouldn’t be afraid of.
 
[27:43.23]  JOHN: So, we keep being told now about the second wave that will come in the fall. Now, tell us what your thoughts about the second wave are and how—it seems like from everything you’re saying is that we’ll have a second wave because of social distancing—
[28:03.18]  WITTKOWSKI: Yes.
[28:04.10]  JOHN: Okay, so, could you say that in a sentence for me?
[28:06.21]  WITTKOWSKI: Okay. If we had herd immunity now, there couldn’t be a second wave in autumn. Herd immunity lasts for a couple of years, typically, and that’s why the last SARS epidemic we had in 2003, it lasted 15 years for enough people to become susceptible again so that a new epidemic could spread of a related virus. Because typically, there is something that requires cross-immunity, so if you were exposed to one of the SARS viruses, you are less likely to fall ill with another SARS virus. So, if we had herd immunity, we wouldn’t have a second wave. However, if we are preventing herd immunity from developing, it is almost guaranteed that we have a second wave as soon as either we stop the social distancing or the climate changes with winter coming or something like that.

 

[30:10.16]  JOHN: I see. And so, to summarize, you are saying that’s going to flatten and extend the epidemic and create the second wave that we are being told to fear?
[30:21.00]  WITTKOWSKI: Yes. The second wave is a direct consequence of social distancing.
[30:28.16]  JOHN: That’s wonderful to hear.
[30:29.13]  WITTKOWSKI: We already know that the social distancing cost the US taxpayer 2 trillion dollars, in addition to everything else that it costs, but it also has severe consequences for our social life, and depression is definitely something that we will be researching. I can say for myself, walking through New York City right now is depressing.
[31:10.17]  JOHN: So, what do you think? Should we tolerate this? Should we stand for staying sheltered in house arrest till … what is it? April 30th they want?
[31:23.02]  LIBBY: April 30th now.
[31:24.20]  JOHN: I mean, is that what we ought to do or should we, perhaps, be resisting?
[31:31.00]  WITTKOWSKI: We should be resisting, and we should, at least, hold our politicians responsible. We should have a discussion with our politicians. One thing we definitely need to do, and that would be safe and effective, is opening schools. Let the children spread the virus among themselves, which is a necessity to get herd immunity. That was probably one of the most destructive actions the government has done. We should focus on the elderly and separating them from the population where the virus is circulating. We should not prevent the virus from circulating among school children, which is the fastest way to create herd immunity.
[32:24.09]  JOHN: And can you explain, just one more time, as clearly as you can, what’s the concept with natural herd immunity? What happens to the virus when it’s gone through the population in the way you’re describing?
[32:39.07]  WITTKOWSKI: If 80% of people have had contact with the virus and are therefore immune, and that, typically, that contact is just a form of immunization. So, there is no disease, there’s nothing happening, and still there is immunity. If 80% of people are immune and somebody has a virus and is infectious, it will be very difficult for that infectious person to find somebody who is still susceptible, not immune. And therefore, this person will not infect anybody else and therefore we won’t have the disease spreading. That is herd immunity.
[33:29.12]  JOHN: And what happens to the virus? What happens to the virus, at that point?
[33:33.23]  WITTKOWSKI: Well, viruses don’t live, technically, but the virus will eventually be destroyed.
 
[35:50.05]  WITTKOWSKI: We don’t die of the virus. We die of pneumonia. So, if we have a virus respiratory disease, the disease—once the body has created antibodies, the immune system has created antibodies, the antibodies, or the immune system is killing all infected cells which destroys much of the mucosa. And bacteria can easily settle on that destroyed mucosa, and then cause pneumonia. And it is the pneumonia that is killing people, if it’s not treated. I had a virus, whatever it was, maybe it was—who knows—about three weeks ago, and my physician gave me the antibiotics I should take if the disease gets better and then gets worse, because that is a sign of pneumonia and then we have to treat the pneumonia.
[36:56.06]  JOHN: And pneumonia is what is treated with antibiotics—
[36:59.10]  WITTKOWSKI: Pneumonia is what’s treated with antibiotics. Not the virus.

 

[41:02.18]  WITTKOWSKI: I think people in the United States and maybe other countries as well are more docile than they should be. People should talk with their politicians, question them, ask them to explain, because if people don’t stand up to their rights, their rights will be forgotten. I’m Knut Wittkowski. I was at the Rockefeller University, I have been an epidemiologist for 35 years, and I have been modeling epidemics for 35 years. It’s a pleasure to have the ability to help people to understand, but it’s a struggle to get heard.

12 Experts Questioning The Corona Virus Panic

Science & Technology, The Corona Virus Cult
Published on

Last updated: February 11, 2021 at 12:42 pm

Global Research posted an article with the opinions of 12 top-level experts on the coronavirus outbreak, which contradict the official government narratives that are broadcast on the mainstream media 24/7. You can read the full article on their website, but I'm putting the most informative quotes, which are from an interview with Dr. Sucharit Bhakdi, in this post. 

Dr. Sucharit Bhakdi is a specialist in microbiology. He was a professor at the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz, head of the Institute for Medical Microbiology and Hygiene and one of the most cited research scientists in German history.

What he says:

We are afraid that 1 million infections with the new virus will lead to 30 deaths per day over the next 100 days. But we do not realize that 20, 30, 40 or 100 patients positive for normal coronaviruses are already dying every day.

 

[The government’s anti-COVID19 measures] are grotesque, absurd and very dangerous […] The life expectancy of millions is being shortened. The horrifying impact on the world economy threatens the existence of countless people. The consequences on medical care are profound. Already services to patients in need are reduced, operations cancelled, practices empty, hospital personnel dwindling. All this will impact profoundly on our whole society.

 

All these measures are leading to self-destruction and collective suicide based on nothing but a spook.
