During 30 years of investigating “epidemics,” I’ve looked for causes that have nothing to do with the latest and greatest virus.
In other words, what else could be causing the symptoms of the illness?
In the current “coronavirus epidemic,” the one condition that has been emphasized is: pneumonia.
Standard
medical texts will tell you that viruses, bacteria, and fungi can cause
pneumonia. Add to that, heavily polluted toxic air (as in Wuhan and
other Chinese cities). Add in extreme malnutrition. YOU DON’T NEED A
CORONAVIRUS TO EXPLAIN CASES OF PNEUMONIA IN CHINA.
All right. So how many deaths from pneumonia occurred in China well before the “appearance of the coronavirus?”
Estimates vary. Here is one, based on an analysis of studies: 2.8 million to 17 million deaths per year. Source: “Pneumonia Incidence and Mortality in Mainland China: Systematic Review of Chinese and English Literature, 1985-2008” (PLoS one, 2010).
Notice
the dates---1985-2008, long before the supposed coronavirus showed
up. Before 5G technology, before a biowar research lab ramped up in
Wuhan.
2.8 million to 17 million deaths. No need for a mysterious virus.
The
wide variance in these death numbers is the result of trying to
integrate Chinese language and English language studies, the huge
expanse of territory in China, the huge population, and possible
attempts, within China, to conceal true statistics.
What
does all this tell us? It tells us that now, there is a gigantic pool
of people with pneumonia, in China, who can be falsely labeled “deaths
from the coronavirus.”
And
that’s not all. There are other categories of illness that can be
merged with pneumonia, in the rush to diagnose people with the
coronavirus. I’m talking about “lower lung infections” and
“influenza.” The mortality numbers leap even higher.
You
might rightly ask, “So why hasn’t pneumonia, all by itself, been
labeled an epidemic in China in past years? Why hasn’t the World Health
Organization, at the very least, declared a state of emergency for China
based on pneumonia?”
You
can bet your bottom dollar that, if the “coronavirus epidemic” was said
to reach 2 million deaths in China, the entire planet would be locked
down tight, and no one anywhere would leave home. Both atheists and
end-times prophets would be shouting that the extinction of all human
life was upon us. Persons in high places would be meeting and saying the
only solution was to nuke Earth and start over.
Let’s
consider, for a moment, how easy it would be to label pneumonia outside
China with the coronavirus tag. As in, “the virus is spreading
everywhere.” Here is a quote: “[Globally]
About 200 million cases of viral community-acquired pneumonia occur
every year---100 million in children and 100 million in adults.” Lancet, volume 377, ISSUE 9773, P1264-1275, April 09, 2011.
But
wait, you say. Pneumonia is only called “coronavirus” if the patient is
tested and the virus is discovered. Otherwise, it’s just ordinary
pneumonia. ---Sorry, it’s not that simple.
First
of all, in the pressure of an announced epidemic, all sorts of people
who have elevated temperature and general flu-like symptoms will be
called coronavirus cases. Metrics people will use computer models to
estimate numbers of cases. And even when the most widely used diagnostic
tests are done---those tests have serious flaws.
An
antibody test, at best, only indicates the patient has come in contact
with the virus. It says nothing about whether he is going to become
ill. In fact, before 1984, a positive-reading antibody test was
generally taken to mean the patient was in good shape. His immune system
had defeated the germ in question. But then, after 1984, the science
was turned on its head---and a positive test was falsely taken to mean
the patient was ill or would soon become ill.
The
so-called PCR test (which has many procedural problems and requires
expert technicians who will not make mistakes) takes a tiny, tiny sample
of what might be a virus from a patient, and blows it up many, many
times so it can be observed. However, in order for this virus to
actually cause illness, millions and millions of virus particles must be
present in the patient’s body. The PCR test says nothing reliable about
quantity of virus in a person.
Therefore,
even when these tests are done on suspected cases of the coronavirus,
they do not result in accurate knowledge about illness and disease.
If
you’re beginning to think it’s easy to declare an epidemic and
broadcast propaganda about it, you’re right. Take a conventional set of
symptoms present in people all over the world, claim a new virus is
causing them, and you’re off and running. You can report 500 or 1000
deaths from this virus and people will believe whatever you say or do
next. They won’t realize that this set of symptoms has been present in
millions and millions of people, for decades or centuries, without the
new virus. They won’t realize millions of people have already died
without the “new virus.”
Global
epidemics solely based on germ-pronouncements, without environmental
investigations (contaminated water supplies, open sewage, hunger,
starvation, poverty, toxic chemicals, etc.), are industries. They’re
business ventures. They’re operations launched to control populations
and force them to take vaccines. They’re launched and sustained by
professional liars, who’ve refined the old skills of snake oil salesmen
through the use of “science,” in order to hypnotize the unwary. And when
the vaccine of the moment---as in the Swine Flu epidemic duds of 1976
and 2009---turns out to be quite damaging, the snake oil pros say,
“Well, every vaccine can cause rare problems, but all in all, they curb
pandemics. We must inject them.”
If you automatically buy that one, you believe pigs can jump over the moon on the backs of cows.
Highly
educated people do tend to believe pigs can jump over the moon, when it
comes to so-called epidemics. They think, “I admire complex
issues. Epidemics and viruses are very complex, and only the
well-trained and sophisticated professionals can assess them. Therefore,
these pros know what they’re doing. I reject THE SIMPLE.”
But THE SIMPLE is what these people need to know about. Otherwise, it’s still pigs, the moon, cows, and jumping.
“But…but…but
this situation in China is NEW and UNPRECEDENTED, as of 2019. It’s
never happened before. And the lockdowns and the quarantines…So there
must be a new explanation, the coronavirus.”
If
necessary, read this article again. The pneumonia-situation is not
new. And the lockdowns and quarantines were theatrically laid on AFTER
the blaring trumpet announcements of the “epidemic.”
It’s still over the moon.
Addendum:
If, as some are claiming, the number of people dying in Wuhan, or other
Chinese cities, is suddenly escalating at a furious pace---if this is
really true---then look to the environment first: the production of far
more polluted air, or the presence of a poisonous chemical.
