"Immunity As A Service" - The Snake-Oil Salesmen and The COVID-Zero Con
A Classic Bait-And-Switch for a Lifetime of Booster Shots

https://www.juliusruechel.com/2021/09/the-snake-oil-salesmen-and-covid-zero.html

If a plumber with a lifetime of experience were to tell you that water
runs uphill, you would know he is lying and that the lie is not
accidental. It is a lie with a purpose. If you can also demonstrate
that the plumber knows in advance that the product he is promoting
with that lie is snake oil, you have evidence for a deliberate con.
And once you understand what's really inside that bottle of snake oil,
you will begin to understand the purpose of the con.

One of the most common reasons given for mass COVID vaccinations is
the idea that if we reach herd immunity through vaccination, we can
starve the virus out of existence and get our lives back. It's the
COVID-Zero strategy or some variant of it.

By now it is abundantly clear from the epidemiological data that the
vaccinated are able to both catch and spread the disease.

Clearly vaccination isn't going to make this virus disappear. Only a
mind that has lost its grasp on reality can fail to see how ridiculous
all this has become.

But a tour through pre-COVID science demonstrates that, from day one,
long before you and I had even heard of this virus, it was 100%
inevitable and 100% predictable that these vaccines would never be
capable of eradicating this coronavirus and would never lead to any
kind of lasting herd immunity. Even worse, lockdowns and mass
vaccination have created a dangerous set of circumstances that
interferes with our immune system's ability to protect us against
other respiratory viruses. They also risk driving the evolution of
this virus towards mutations that are more dangerous to both the
vaccinated and the unvaccinated alike. Lockdowns, mass vaccinations,
and mass booster shots were never capable of delivering on any of the
promises that were made to the public.

And yet, vaccination has been successfully used to control measles and
even to eradicate smallpox. So, why not COVID? Immunity is immunity,
and a virus is a virus is a virus, right? Wrong! Reality is far more
complicated... and more interesting.

This Deep Dive exposes why, from day one, the promise of COVID-Zero
can only ever have been a deliberately dishonest shell game designed
to prey on a lack of public understanding of how our immune systems
work and on how most respiratory viruses differ from other viruses
that we routinely vaccinate against. We have been sold a fantasy
designed to rope us into a pharmaceutical dependency as a deceitful
trade-off for access to our lives. Variant by variant. For as long as
the public is willing to go along for the ride.

Exposing this story does not require incriminating emails or
whistleblower testimony. The story tells itself by diving into the
long-established science that every single virologist, immunologist,
evolutionary biologist, vaccine developer, and public health official
had access to long before COVID began. As is so often the case, the
devil is hidden in the details. As this story unfolds it will become
clear that the one-two punch of lockdowns and the promise of vaccines
as an exit strategy began as a cynical marketing ploy to coerce us
into a never-ending regimen of annual booster shots intentionally
designed to replace the natural "antivirus security updates" against
respiratory viruses that come from hugs and handshakes and from
children laughing together at school. We are being played for fools.

This is not to say that there aren't plenty of other opportunists
taking advantage of this crisis to pursue other agendas and to tip
society into a full-blown police state. One thing quickly morphs into
another. But this essay demonstrates that never-ending boosters were
the initial motive for this global social-engineering shell game ― the
subscription-based business model, adapted for the pharmaceutical
industry. "Immunity as a service".

So, let's dive into the fascinating world of immune systems, viruses,
and vaccines, layer by layer, to dispel the myths and false
expectations that have been created by deceitful public health
officials, pharmaceutical lobbyists, and media manipulators. What
emerges as the lies are peeled apart is both surprising and more than
a little alarming.

Viral Reservoirs: The Fantasy of Eradication

Eradication of a killer virus sounds like a noble goal. In some cases
it is, such as in the case of the smallpox virus. By 1980 we stopped
vaccinating against smallpox because, thanks to widespread
immunization, we starved the virus of available hosts for so long that
it died out. No-one will need to risk their life on the side effects
of a smallpox vaccination ever again because the virus is gone. It is
a public health success story. Polio will hopefully be next ― we're
getting close.

But smallpox is one of only two viruses (along with rinderpest) that
have been eradicated thanks to vaccination. Very few diseases meet the
necessary criteria. Eradication is hard and only appropriate for very
specific families of viruses.

Smallpox made sense for eradication because it was a uniquely human
virus ― there was no animal reservoir. By contrast, most respiratory
viruses including SARS-CoV-2 (a.k.a. COVID) come from animal
reservoirs: swine, birds, bats, etc. As long as there are bats in
caves, birds in ponds, pigs in mud baths, and deer living in forests,
respiratory viruses are only controllable through individual immunity,
but it is not possible to eradicate them. There will always be a
near-identical cousin brewing in the wings.

Even the current strain of COVID is already cheerfully jumping onwards
across species boundaries. According to both National Geographic and
Nature magazine, 40% of wild deer tested positive for COVID antibodies
in a study conducted in Michigan, Illinois, New York, and
Pennsylvania. It has also been documented in wild mink and has already
made the species jump to other captive animals including dogs, cats,
otters, leopards, tigers, and gorillas. A lot of viruses are not
fussy. They happily adapt to new opportunities. Specialists, like
smallpox, eventually go extinct. Generalists, like most respiratory
viruses, never run out of hosts to keep the infection cycle going,
forever.

As long as we share this planet with other animals, it is extremely
deceitful to give anyone the impression that we can pursue any
scorched earth policy that can put this genie back in the bottle. With
an outbreak on this global scale, it was clear that we were always
going to have to live with this virus. There are over 200 other
endemic respiratory viruses that cause colds and flus, many of which
circulate freely between humans and other animals. Now there are 201.
They will be with us forever, whether we like it or not.
SARS: The Exception to the Rule?

This all sounds well and good, but the original SARS virus did
disappear, with public health measures like contact tracing and strict
quarantine measures taking the credit. However, SARS was the exception
to the rule. When it made the species jump to humans, it was so poorly
adapted to its new human hosts that it had terrible difficulty
spreading. This very poor level of adaptation gave SARS a rather
unique combination of properties:

    SARS was extremely difficult to catch (it was never very contagious)

    SARS made people extremely sick.

    SARS did not have pre-symptomatic spread.

These three conditions made the SARS outbreak easy to control through
contact tracing and through the quarantine of symptomatic individuals.
SARS therefore never reached the point where it circulated widely
among asymptomatic community members.

By contrast, by January/February of 2020 it was clear from experiences
in China, Italy, and the outbreak on the Diamond Princess cruise ship
(more on that story later) that the unique combination of conditions
that made SARS controllable were not going to be the case with COVID.
COVID was quite contagious (its rapid spread showed that COVID was
already well adapted to spreading easily among its new human hosts),
most people would have mild or no symptoms from COVID (making
containment impossible), and that it was spreading by aerosols
produced by both symptomatic and pre-symptomatic people (making
contact tracing a joke).

In other words, it was clear by January/February 2020 that this
pandemic would follow the normal rules of a readily transmissible
respiratory epidemic, which cannot be reined in the way SARS was.
Thus, by January/February of 2020, giving the public the impression
that the SARS experience could be replicated for COVID was a
deliberate lie - this genie was never going back inside the bottle.
Fast Mutations: The Fantasy of Control through Herd Immunity

Once a reasonably contagious respiratory virus begins circulating
widely in a community, herd immunity can never be maintained for very
long. RNA respiratory viruses (such as influenza viruses, respiratory
syncytial virus (RSV), rhinoviruses, and coronaviruses) all mutate
extremely fast compared to viruses like smallpox, measles, or polio.
Understanding the difference between something like measles and a
virus like COVID is key to understanding the con that is being
perpetrated by our health institutions. Bear with me here, I promise
not to get too technical.

All viruses survive by creating copies of themselves. And there are
always a lot of "imperfect copies" — mutations — produced by the
copying process itself. Among RNA respiratory viruses these mutations
stack up so quickly that there is rapid genetic drift, which
continually produces new strains. Variants are normal. Variants are
expected. Variants make it virtually impossible to build the
impenetrable wall of long-lasting herd immunity required to starve
these respiratory viruses out of existence. That's one of several
reasons why flu vaccines don't provide long-lasting immunity and have
to be repeated annually ― our immune system constantly needs to be
updated to keep pace with the inevitable evolution of countless
unnamed "variants."

This never-ending conveyor belt of mutations means that everyone's
immunity to COVID was always only going to be temporary and only offer
partial cross-reactive protection against future re-infections. Thus,
from day one, COVID vaccination was always doomed to the same fate as
the flu vaccine ― a lifelong regimen of annual booster shots to try to
keep pace with "variants" for those unwilling to expose themselves to
the risk of a natural infection. And the hope that by the time the
vaccines (and their booster shots) roll off the production line, they
won't already be out of date when confronted by the current generation
of virus mutations.

Genetic drift caused by mutations is much slower in viruses like
measles, polio, or smallpox, which is why herd immunity can be used to
control these other viruses (or even eradicate them as in the case of
smallpox or polio). The reason the common respiratory viruses have
such rapid genetic drift compared to these other viruses has much less
to do with how many errors are produced during the copying process and
much more to do with how many of those "imperfect" copies are actually
able to survive and produce more copies.

A simple virus with an uncomplicated attack strategy for taking over
host cells can tolerate a lot more mutations than a complex virus with
a complicated attack strategy. Complexity and specialization put
limits on how many of those imperfect copies have a chance at becoming
successful mutations. Simple machinery doesn't break down as easily if
there is an imperfection in the mechanical parts. Complicated
high-tech machinery will simply not work if there are even minor flaws
in precision parts.

For example, before a virus can hijack the DNA of a host cell to begin
making copies of itself, the virus needs to unlock the cell wall to
gain entry. Cellular walls are made of proteins and are coated by
sugars; viruses need to find a way to create a doorway through that
protein wall. A virus like influenza uses a very simple strategy to
get inside ― it locks onto one of the sugars on the outside of the
cell wall in order to piggyback a ride as the sugar is absorbed into
the cell (cells use sugar as their energy source). It's such a simple
strategy that it allows the influenza virus to go through lots of
mutations without losing its ability to gain entry to the cell.
Influenza's simplicity makes it very adaptable and allows many
different types of mutations to thrive as long as they all use the
same piggyback entry strategy to get inside host cells.

By contrast, something like the measles virus uses a highly
specialized and very complicated strategy to gain entry to a host
cell. It relies on very specialized surface proteins to break open a
doorway into the host cell. It's a very rigid and complex system that
doesn't leave a lot of room for errors in the copying process. Even
minor mutations to the measles virus will cause changes to its surface
proteins, leaving it unable to gain access to a host cell to make more
copies of itself. Thus, even if there are lots of mutations, those
mutations are almost all evolutionary dead ends, thus preventing
genetic drift. That's one of several reasons why both a natural
infection and vaccination against measles creates lifetime immunity ―
immunity lasts because new variations don't change much over time.

Most RNA respiratory viruses have a high rate of genetic drift because
they all rely on relatively simple attack strategies to gain entry to
host cells. This allows mutations to stack up quickly without becoming
evolutionary dead ends because they avoid the evolutionary trap of
complexity.

Coronaviruses use a different strategy than influenza to gain access
to host cells. They have proteins on the virus surface (the infamous
S-spike protein, the same one that is mimicked by the vaccine
injection), which latches onto a receptor on the cell surface (the
ACE2 receptor) ― a kind of key to unlock the door. This attack
strategy is a little bit more complicated than the system used by
influenza, which is probably why genetic drift in coronaviruses is
slightly slower than in influenza, but it is still a much much simpler
and much less specialized system than the one used by measles.
Coronaviruses, like other respiratory viruses, are therefore
constantly producing a never-ending conveyor belt of "variants" that
make long-lasting herd immunity impossible. Variants are normal. The
alarm raised by our public health authorities about "variants" and the
feigned compassion of pharmaceutical companies as they rush to develop
fresh boosters capable of fighting variants is a charade, much like
expressing surprise about the sun rising in the East.

Once you got immunity to smallpox, measles, or polio, you had full
protection for a few decades and were protected against severe illness
or death for the rest of your life. But for fast-mutating respiratory
viruses, including coronaviruses, within a few months they are
sufficiently different that your previously acquired immunity will
only ever offer partial protection against your next exposure. The
fast rate of mutation ensures that you never catch the exact same cold
or flu twice, just their closely related constantly evolving cousins.
What keeps you from feeling the full brunt of each new infection is
cross-reactive immunity, which is another part of the story of how you
are being conned, which I will come back to shortly.
Blind Faith in Central Planning: The Fantasy of Timely Doses

But let's pretend for a moment that a miraculous vaccine could be
developed that could give us all 100% sterilizing immunity today. The
length of time it takes to manufacture and ship 8 billion doses (and
then make vaccination appointments for 8 billion people) ensures that
by the time the last person gets their last dose, the never-ending
conveyor belt of mutations will have already rendered the vaccine
partially ineffective. True sterilizing immunity simply won't ever
happen with coronaviruses. The logistics of rolling out vaccines to 8
billion people meant that none of our vaccine makers or public health
authorities ever could have genuinely believed that vaccines would
create lasting herd immunity against COVID.

So, for a multitude of reasons, it was a deliberate lie to give the
public the impression that if enough people take the vaccine, it would
create lasting herd immunity. It was 100% certain, from day one, that
by the time the last dose is administered, the rapid evolution of the
virus would ensure that it would already be time to start thinking
about booster shots. Exactly like the flu shot. Exactly the opposite
of a measles vaccine. Vaccines against respiratory viruses can never
provide anything more than a temporary cross-reactive immunity
"update" ― they are merely a synthetic replacement for your annual
natural exposure to the smorgasbord of cold and flu viruses. Immunity
as a service, imposed on society by trickery. The only question was
always, how long between booster shots? Weeks, months, years?

Feeling conned yet?
Spiked: The Fantasy of Preventing Infection

The current crop of COVID vaccines was never designed to provide
sterilizing immunity - that's not how they work. They are merely a
tool designed to teach the immune system to attack the S-spike
protein, thereby priming the immune system to reduce the severity of
infection in preparation for your inevitable future encounter with the
real virus. They were never capable of preventing infection, nor of
preventing spread. They were merely designed to reduce your chance of
being hospitalized or dying if you are infected. As former FDA
commissioner Scott Gottlieb, who is on Pfizer’s board, said: "the
original premise behind these vaccines were [sic] that they would
substantially reduce the risk of death and severe disease and
hospitalization. And that was the data that came out of the initial
clinical trials.” Every first-year medical student knows that you
cannot get herd immunity from a vaccine that does not stop infection.

In other words, by their design, these vaccines can neither stop you
from catching an infection nor stop you from transmitting the
infection to someone else. They were never capable of creating herd
immunity. They were designed to protect individuals against severe
outcomes if they choose to take them - a tool to provide temporary
focused protection for the vulnerable, just like the flu vaccine.
Pushing for mass vaccination was a con from day one. And the idea of
using vaccine passports to separate the vaccinated from the
unvaccinated was also a con from day one. The only impact these
vaccine passports have on the pandemic is as a coercive tool to get
you to roll up your sleeve. Nothing more.
Antibodies, B-Cells, and T-Cells: Why Immunity to Respiratory Viruses
Fades So Quickly

There are multiple interconnected parts to why immunity to COVID, or
any other respiratory virus, is always only temporary. Not only is the
virus constantly mutating but immunity itself fades over time, not
unlike the way our brains start forgetting how to do complicated math
problems unless they keep practicing. This is true for both immunity
acquired through natural infection and immunity acquired through
vaccination.

Our immune systems have a kind of immunological memory ― basically,
how long does your immune system remember how to launch an attack
against a specific kind of threat. That memory fades over time. For
some vaccines, like diphtheria and tetanus, that immunological memory
fades very slowly. The measles vaccine protects for life. But for
others, like the flu vaccine, that immunological memory fades very
quickly.

On average, the flu vaccine is only about 40% effective to begin with.
And it begins to fade almost immediately after vaccination. By about
150 days (5 months), it reaches zero.

Fading immunity after flu shot (Science, April 18th, 2019)

The solution to this strange phenomenon lies in the different types of
immune system responses that are triggered by a vaccine (or by
exposure to the real thing through a natural infection). This has big
implications for coronavirus vaccines, but I'll get to that in a
moment. First a little background information...

A good analogy is to think of our immune system like a medieval army.
The first layer of protection began with generalists - guys armed with
clubs that would take a swing at everything - they were good for
keeping robbers and brigands at bay and for conducting small
skirmishes. But if the attack was bigger, then these generalists were
quickly overwhelmed, serving as arrow fodder to blunt the attack on
the more specialized troops coming up behind them. Spearmen,
swordsmen, archers, cavalry, catapult operators, siege tower
engineers, and so on. Each additional layer of defense has a more
expensive kit and takes ever greater amounts of time to train (an
English longbowman took years to build up the necessary skill and
strength to become effective). The more specialized a troop is, the
more you want to hold them back from the fight unless it's absolutely
necessary because they are expensive to train, expensive to deploy,
and make a bigger mess when they fight that needs to be cleaned up
afterwards. Always keep your powder dry. Send in the arrow fodder
first and slowly ramp up your efforts from there.

Our immune system relies on a similar kind of layered system of
defense. In addition to various non-specific rapid response layers
that take out the brigands, like natural killer cells, macrophages,
mast cells, and so on, we also have many adaptive (specialized) layers
of antibodies (i.e. IgA, IgG, IgM immunoglobulin) and various types of
highly specialized white blood cells, like B-cells and T-cells. Some
antibodies are released by regular B-cells. Others are released by
blood plasma. Then there are memory B-cells, which are capable of
remembering previous threats and creating new antibodies long after
the original antibodies fade away. And there are various types of
T-cells (again with various degrees of immunological memory), like
natural killer T-cells, killer T-cells, and helper T-cells, all of
which play various roles in detecting and neutralizing invaders. In
short, the greater the threat, the more troops are called into the
fight.

This is clearly a gross oversimplification of all the different
interconnected parts of our immune system, but the point is that a
mild infection doesn't trigger as many layers whereas a severe
infection enlists the help of deeper layers, which are slower to
respond but are much more specialized in their attack capabilities.
And if those deeper adaptive layers get involved, they are capable of
retaining a memory of the threat in order to be able to mount a
quicker attack if a repeat attack is recognized in the future. That's
why someone who was infected by the dangerous Spanish Flu in 1918
might still have measurable T-cell immunity a century later but the
mild bout of winter flu you had a couple of years ago might not have
triggered T-cell immunity, even though both may have been caused by
versions of the same H1N1 influenza virus.

As a rule of thumb, the broader the immune response, the longer
immunological memory will last. Antibodies fade in a matter of months,
whereas B-cell and T-cell immunity can last a lifetime.

Another rule of thumb is that a higher viral load puts more strain on
your immune defenses, thus overwhelming the rapid response layers and
forcing the immune system to enlist the deeper adaptive layers. That's
why nursing homes and hospitals are more dangerous places for
vulnerable people than backyard barbeques. That's why feedlot cattle
are more vulnerable to viral diseases than cattle on pasture. Viral
load matters a lot to how easily the generalist layers are overwhelmed
and how much effort your immune system has to make to neutralize a
threat.

Where the infection happens in the body also matters. For example, an
infection in the upper respiratory tract triggers much less
involvement from your adaptive immune system than when it reaches your
lungs. Part of this is because your upper respiratory tract is already
heavily preloaded with large numbers of generalist immunological cells
that are designed to attack germs as they enter, which is why most
colds and flus never make it deeper into the lungs. The guys with the
clubs are capable of handling most of the threats that try to make
through the gate. Most of the specialized troops hold back unless they
are needed.

Catching a dangerous disease like measles produces lifetime immunity
because an infection triggers all the deep layers that will retain a
memory of how to fight off future encounters with the virus. So does
the measles vaccine. Catching a cold or mild flu generally does not.

>From an evolutionary point of view, this actually makes a lot of
sense. Why waste valuable resources developing long-lasting immunity
(i.e. training archers and building catapults) to defend against a
virus that did not put you in mortal danger. A far better evolutionary
strategy is to evolve a narrower generalist immune response to mild
infections (i.e. most cold and flu viruses), which fades quickly once
the threat is conquered, but invest in deep long-term broad-based
immunity to dangerous infections, which lasts a very long time in case
that threat is ever spotted on the horizon again. Considering the huge
number of threats our immune systems face, this strategy avoids the
trap of spreading immunological memory too thin. Our immunological
memory resources are not limitless - long-term survival requires
prioritizing our immunological resources.

The take-home lesson is that vaccines will, at best, only last as long
as immunity acquired through natural infection and will often fade
much faster because the vaccine is often only able to trigger a
partial immune response compared to the actual infection. So, if the
disease itself doesn't produce a broad-based immune response leading
to long-lasting immunity, neither will the vaccine. And in most cases,
immunity acquired through vaccination will begin to fade much sooner
than immunity acquired through a natural infection. Every vaccine
maker and public health official knows this despite bizarrely claiming
that the COVID vaccines (based on re-creating the S-protein spike
instead of using a whole virus) would somehow become the exception to
the rule. That was a lie, and they knew it from day one. That should
set your alarm bells ringing at full throttle.

So, with this little bit of background knowledge under our belts,
let's look at what our public health officials and vaccine makers
would have known in advance about coronaviruses and coronavirus
vaccines when they told us back in the early Spring of 2020 that COVID
vaccines were the path back to normality.

>From a 2003 study [my emphasis]:

    "Until SARS appeared, human coronaviruses were known as the cause
of 15–30% of colds... Colds are generally mild, self-limited
infections, and significant increases in neutralizing antibody titer
are found in nasal secretions and serum after infection. Nevertheless,
some unlucky individuals can be reinfected with the same coronavirus
soon after recovery and get symptoms again."

In other words, the coronaviruses involved in colds (there were four
human coronaviruses before SARS, MERS, and COVID) all trigger such a
weak immune response that they do not lead to any long-lasting
immunity whatsoever. And why would they if, for most of us, the threat
is so minimal that the generalists are perfectly capable of
neutralizing the attack.

We also know that immunity against coronaviruses is not durable in
other animals either. As any farmer knows well, cycles of reinfection
with coronaviruses are the rule rather than the exception among their
livestock (for example, coronaviruses are a common cause of pneumonia
and various types of diarrheal diseases like scours, shipping fever,
and winter dysentery in cattle). Annual farm vaccination schedules are
therefore designed accordingly. The lack of long-term immunity to
coronaviruses is well documented in veterinary research among cattle,
poultry, deer, water buffalo, etc. Furthermore, although animal
coronavirus vaccines have been on the market for many years, it is
well known that "none are completely efficacious in animals". So, like
the fading flu vaccine profile I showed you earlier, none of the
animal coronavirus vaccines are capable of providing sterilizing
immunity (none were capable of stopping 100% of infections, without
which you can never achieve herd immunity) and the partial immunity
they offered is well known to fade rather quickly.

What about immunity to COVID's close cousin, the deadly SARS
coronavirus, which had an 11% case fatality rate during the 2003
outbreak? From a 2007 study: "SARS-specific antibodies were maintained
for an average of 2 years... SARS patients might be susceptible to
reinfection >3 years after initial exposure."  (Bear in mind that, as
with all diseases, re-infection does not mean you are necessarily
going to get full-blown SARS; fading immunity after a natural
infection tends to offer at least some level of partial protection
against severe outcomes for a considerable amount of time after you
can already be reinfected and spread it to others - more on that
later.)

And what about MERS, the deadliest coronavirus to date, which made the
jump from camels in 2012 and had a fatality rate of around 35%? It
triggered the broadest immune response (due to its severity) and also
appears to trigger the longest lasting immunity as a result (> 6yrs)

Thus, to pretend that there was any chance that herd immunity to COVID
would be anything but short-lived was dishonest at best. For most
people, immunity was always going to fade quickly. Just like what
happens after most other respiratory virus infections. By February
2020, the epidemiological data showed clearly that for most people
COVID was a mild coronavirus (nowhere near as severe than SARS or
MERS), so it was virtually a certainty that even the immunity from a
natural infection would fade within months, not years. It was also a
certainty that vaccination was therefore, at best, only ever going to
provide partial protection and that this protection would be
temporary, lasting on the order of months. This is a case of false and
misleading advertising if there ever was one.

If I can allow my farming roots to shine through for a moment, I'd
like to explain the implications of what was known about animal
coronaviruses vaccines. Baby calves are often vaccinated against
bovine coronaviral diarrhea shortly after birth if they are born in
the spring mud and slush season, but not if they are born in midsummer
on lush pastures where the risk of infection is lower. Likewise,
bovine coronavirus vaccines are used to protect cattle before they
face stressful conditions during shipping, in a feedlot, or in winter
feed pens. Animal coronavirus vaccines are thus used as tools to
provide a temporary boost in immunity, in very specific conditions,
and only for very specific vulnerable categories of animals. After
everything I've laid out so far in this text, the targeted use of
bovine coronavirus vaccines should surprise no-one. Pretending that
our human coronavirus vaccines would be different was nonsense.

The only rational reason why the WHO and public health officials would
withhold all that contextual information from the public as they
rolled out lockdowns and held forth vaccines as an exit strategy was
to whip the public into irrational fear in order to be able to make a
dishonest case for mass vaccination when they should have, at most,
been focused on providing focused vaccination of the most vulnerable
only. That deception was the Trojan Horse to introduce endless mass
booster shots as immunity inevitably fades and as new variants replace
old ones.

Now, as all the inevitable limitations and problems with these
vaccines become apparent (i.e. fading of vaccine-induced immunity,
vaccines proving to only be partially effective, the rise of new
variants, and the vaccinated population demonstrably catching and
spreading the virus ― a.k.a. the leaky vaccine phenomenon), the
surprise that our health authorities are showing simply isn't
credible. As I have shown you, all this was 100% to be expected. They
intentionally weaponized fear and false expectations to unleash a
fraudulent bait-and-switch racket of global proportions. Immunity on
demand, forever.
Manufacturing Dangerous Variants: Virus Mutations Under Lockdown
Conditions — Lessons from the 1918 Spanish Flu

At this point you may be wondering, if there is no lasting immunity
from infection or vaccination, then are public health officials right
to roll out booster shots to protect us from severe outcomes even if
their dishonest methods to get us to accept them were unethical? Do we
need a lifetime regimen of booster shots to keep us safe from a beast
to which we cannot develop durable long-term immunity?

The short answer is no.

Contrary to what you might think, the rapid evolution of RNA
respiratory viruses actually has several important benefits for us as
their involuntary hosts, which protects us without the benefit of
broad lifelong immunity. One of those benefits has to do with the
natural evolution of the virus towards less dangerous variants. The
other is the cross-reactive immunity that comes from frequent
re-exposure to closely related "cousins". I'm going to peel apart both
of these topics in order to show you the remarkable system that nature
designed to keep us safe... and to show you how the policies being
forced on us by our public health authorities are knowingly
interfering with this system. They are creating a dangerous situation
that increases our risk to other respiratory viruses (not just to
COVID) and may even push the COVID virus to evolve to become more
dangerous to both the unvaccinated and the vaccinated. There are
growing signs that this nightmare scenario has already begun.

    “In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our
problem; government is the problem."

    - President Ronald Reagan in 1981.

Let's start with the evolutionary pressures that normally drive
viruses towards becoming less dangerous over time. A virus depends on
its host to spread it. A lively host is more useful than a bedridden
or dead one because a lively host can spread the virus further and
will still be around to catch future mutations. Viruses risk becoming
evolutionary dead ends if they kill or immobilize their hosts. Plagues
came, killed, and then were starved out of existence because their
surviving hosts had all acquired herd immunity. Colds come and go
every year because their hosts are lively, easily spread the viruses
around, and never acquire long-lasting immunity so that last year's
hosts can also serve as next year's hosts ― only those who have weak
immune systems have much to worry about. In other words, under normal
conditions, mutations that are more contagious but less deadly have a
survival advantage over less contagious and more deadly variations.

>From the virus' point of view, the evolutionary golden mean is reached
when it can easily infect as many hosts as possible without reducing
their mobility and without triggering long-term immunity in most of
their hosts. That's the ticket to setting up a sustainable cycle of
reinfection, forever. Viruses with slow genetic drift and highly
specialized reproductive strategies, like polio or measles, can take
centuries or longer to become less deadly and more contagious; some
may never reach the relatively harmless status of a cold or mild flu
virus (by harmless I mean harmless to the majority of the population
despite being extremely dangerous to those with weak or compromised
immune systems). But for viruses with fast genetic drift, like
respiratory viruses, even a few months can make a dramatic difference.
Rapid genetic drift is one of the reasons why the Spanish Flu stopped
being a monster disease, but polio and measles haven't. And anyone
with training in virology or immunology understands this!

We often speak of evolutionary pressure as though it forces an
organism to adapt. In reality, a simple organism like a virus is
utterly blind to its environment — all it does is blindly produce
genetic copies of itself. "Evolutionary pressure" is actually just a
fancy way of saying that environmental conditions will determine which
of those millions of copies survives long enough to produce even more
copies of itself.

A human adapts to its environment by altering its behaviour (that's
one type of adaptation). But the behaviour of a single viral particle
never changes. A virus "adapts" over time because some genetic copies
with one set of mutations survive and spread faster than other copies
with a different set of mutations. Adaptation in viruses has to be
seen exclusively through the lens of changes from one generation of
virus to the next based on which mutations have a competitive edge
over others. And that competitive edge will vary depending on the
kinds of environmental conditions a virus encounters.

So, fear mongering about the Delta variant being even more contagious
leaves out the fact that this is exactly what you would expect as a
respiratory virus adapts to its new host species. We would expect new
variants to be more contagious but less deadly as the virus fades to
become just like the other 200+ respiratory viruses that cause common
colds and flus.

That's also why the decision to lock down the healthy population is so
sinister. Lockdowns, border closures, and social distancing rules
reduced spread among the healthy population, thus creating a situation
where mutations produced among the healthy would become sufficiently
rare that they might be outnumbered by mutations circulating among the
bedridden. Mutations circulating among the healthy are, by definition,
going to be the least dangerous mutations since they did not make
their hosts sick enough to confine them to bedrest. That's precisely
the variants you want to spread in order to drown out competition from
more dangerous mutations.

A host stuck in bed with a fever and not out dining with friends is
limited in his ability to infect others compared to a host infected
with a variety that only gives its host a sniffle. Not all bedridden
hosts have caught a more dangerous mutation, but all dangerous
mutations will be found among the bedridden. Thus as time goes by,
dangerous mutations can only compete with less dangerous mutations if
the entire population is limited in its ability to mix and mingle.

As long as the majority of infections are among the healthy, the more
dangerous variants circulating among some of the bedridden will be
outnumbered and will become evolutionary dead ends. But when public
health officials intentionally restricted spread among the young,
strong, and healthy members of society by imposing lockdowns, they
created a set of evolutionary conditions that risked shifting the
competitive evolutionary advantage from the least dangerous variants
to more dangerous variants. By locking us all up, they risked making
the virus more dangerous over time. Evolution doesn't sit around to
wait for you while you develop a vaccine.

Let me give you a historical example to demonstrate that this rapid
evolution of a virus towards either more or less dangerous variants
isn't mere theory. Small changes to the environment can lead to very
rapid changes in the virus' evolution. The first wave of the 1918
Spanish Flu was not particularly deadly, with mortality rates similar
to regular seasonal flu. However, the second wave was not only much
deadlier but, rather unusually, was particularly deadly to young
people rather than just the old and the weak. Why would the second
wave be the deadly one? And what would cause the virus to evolve so
quickly to become both more deadly and better adapted to preying on
young people? At first glance it would seem to defy all evolutionary
logic.

The answer demonstrates just how sensitive a virus is to small changes
in evolutionary pressure. The Spanish Flu spread in the midst of the
lockdown-mimicking conditions of World War One. During the first wave,
the virus found a huge population of soldiers trapped in the cold damp
conditions of the trenches and a near endless supply of captive
bedridden hosts in overflowing field hospitals. By the Spring of 1918,
up to three-quarters of the entire French military and half of British
troops had been infected. These conditions created two unique
evolutionary pressures. On the one hand, it allowed variants that were
well adapted to young people to emerge. But on the other hand, unlike
normal times, the cramped conditions of trench warfare and field
hospitals allowed dangerous variants that immobilize their hosts to
spread freely with little competition from less dangerous variants
that spread through lively hosts. The trenches and field hospitals
became the virus incubators driving the evolution of variants.

Normally young people are predominantly exposed to less dangerous
mutations because the healthiest do all the mingling while the
bedridden stay home. But the lockdown conditions of war created
conditions that erased the competitive advantage of less dangerous
mutations that don't immobilize their hosts, leading to the rise of
more dangerous mutations.

Thanks to the end of the war, the lockdown-mimicking conditions also
ended, thereby shifting the competitive advantage back to less
dangerous mutations that could spread freely among the mobile healthy
members of the population. The deadliness of the second wave of the
1918 Spanish Flu is inextricably linked to the First World War, and
the end of the war is linked to the virus fading into the background
of regular cold and flu season.

ward at Camp Funston

It is therefore highly likely that the 1918 Spanish Flu would never
have been more than a really bad flu season had it not been for the
amplifying effect of lockdown conditions created by a world at war.

It also raises the question, for which I don't have an answer, whether
the lockdown strategy during COVID was intentionally used to reduce
spread among the healthy in order to keep the virus from fading into
harmless irrelevancy. I use the word "intentionally" ― and it's a
strong word ― because the deadly second wave of the 1918 Spanish Flu
and its causes are hardly secrets in the medical community. You'd have
to be a completely reckless and utterly incompetent idiot, or a
cynical bastard with an agenda, to impose any strategy that mimics
those virus-amplifying conditions. Yet that's what our health
authorities did. And what they continue to do, while shamelessly
hyperventilating about the risk of "variants" to force us to submit to
medical tyranny based on mandatory vaccines, never-ending booster
shots, and vaccine passports that can turn off access to our normal
lives. This is cynicism at its finest.
Leaky Vaccines, Antibody-Dependent Enhancement, and the Marek Effect

The experience of the 2nd wave of the 1918 Spanish Flu also raises
another question: What kind of evolutionary pressures are being
created by using a leaky vaccine?

A vaccine that provides sterilizing immunity prevents the vaccinated
from being able to catch or transmit the virus. They become a dead end
for the virus. However, as I've already mentioned, the current crop of
COVID vaccines, which are meant to train the immune system to
recognize the S-spike proteins, were not designed to create
sterilizing immunity. By their design, they merely help reduce the
risk of severe outcomes by priming the immune system. The vaccinated
can still catch and spread the virus ― the definition of a leaky
vaccine ― and epidemiological data makes it very clear that this is
now happening all around the world. Thus, both the vaccinated and the
unvaccinated are equally capable of producing new variants. The idea
that the unvaccinated are producing variants while the vaccinated are
not is a boldfaced lie.

Source: "Israel hopes boosters can avert new lockdown as COVID vaccine
efficacy fades." August 23rd, 2021, Financial Times,

>From an evolutionary perspective, this is a potentially dangerous
scenario. What has been done by temporarily blunting the risk of
hospitalization or death, but without stopping infection among the
vaccinated, is to create a set of evolutionary conditions where a
variant that is dangerous to the unvaccinated can spread easily among
the vaccinated without making the vaccinated very sick. For lack of a
better term, let's call this a dual-track variant. Thus, because the
vaccinated are not getting bedridden from this dual-track variant,
they can continue to spread it easily, giving it a competitive
advantage, even if it is highly dangerous to the unvaccinated.

Furthermore, since COVID vaccination only offers temporary short-term
protection, as soon as immunity fades, the vaccinated themselves are
also equally at risk of more severe outcomes. Thus, this creates the
evolutionary pressure for the virus to behave as an increasingly
contagious but relatively mild virus as long as everyone is vaccinated
but as a dangerous but also very contagious virus as soon as temporary
immunity wears off. The call for boosters every 6 months is already
here. (Update: now it's being revised down to 5 months.)

So, the pandemic really does have the potential to become the Pandemic
of the Unvaccinated (the shameless term coined by public health
officials to terrify the vaccinated into bullying their unvaccinated
peers), but reality comes with a twist because if a dual-track variant
does evolve it would be the unvaccinated (and those whose boosters
have expired) who would have reason to fear the vaccinated, not the
other way around as so many frightened citizens seem to believe. And
the end result would be that we all become permanently dependent on
boosters every 6 months, forever.

Hold on, you might say, the flu vaccine chart shown earlier also never
provided sterilizing immunity. The flu vaccine is notoriously leaky
but hasn't gotten more dangerous, has it? The answer is complicated
because the comparison is less useful than it first appears. As long
as the majority of the population does not get the flu vaccine, more
dangerous variants will face stiff competition from less dangerous
ones circulating among the healthy unvaccinated population (average
flu vaccination rates in most western countries are between 38-41%,
with most other countries around the world doing very little
vaccination against the flu). And since the vaccine is only 40%
effective to begin with and since immunity fades rapidly after the
shot, the flu vaccine doesn't provide much protection to begin with,
thus reducing the chance that separate mutations would circulate among
the vaccinated. And public health frequently gets the strain wrong
(influenza has many strains that are constantly evolving so there is a
lot of guesswork that goes into creating the right vaccine formula
each year). In other words, lack of universal coverage and poor
protection are likely preventing the emergence of a dual-track
variant.

Furthermore, flu vaccination is not evenly distributed across the
population. It is mostly the vulnerable and those who work around them
that get it while children, young adults and other healthy members of
society don't get it. So, even if more deadly variants were to arise
in nursing homes or hospital settings, the high number of healthy
unvaccinated visitors to those facilities would constantly bring less
deadly more contagious variants with them, thereby preventing more
dangerous variants from gaining a competitive edge in nursing home or
hospital settings. But if the leaky flu vaccinations were to be
extended to everyone, or if nursing home populations continue to be
kept isolated from the rest of society during COVID lockdowns, things
might begin to look a little different.

However, what I am warning about is far from theoretical. There is a
very clear example (well known to public health officials and vaccine
developers) from the poultry farming industry where a universal leaky
vaccine pushed a virus to evolve to become extremely deadly to
unvaccinated chickens. It is called the Marek Effect. It began with a
leaky vaccine that was rolled out to fight a herpes virus in
industrialized high-density chicken barns. Vaccinated chickens were
protected from severe outcomes but nevertheless continued to catch and
spread the virus, so evolutionary pressure led to the emergence of a
dual-track variant that become the dominant strain of this herpes
virus. It continues to spread among the vaccinated chickens without
killing them but kills up to 80% or more of unvaccinated birds if they
get infected. Thus, a never-ending stream of vaccinations is now
required just to maintain the status quo. I bet the pharmaceutical
industry is smiling at all those drug-dependent chickens though — talk
about having a captive audience!

It's not a certainty that this will happen with the COVID vaccines,
but the longer this fiasco continues and the higher that vaccination
rates rise around the world, the more likely it becomes that we
re-create the conditions for some kind of Marek effect to develop. A
leaky vaccine used sparingly to protect small pockets of vulnerable
individuals is very different than a leaky vaccine applied to
everyone. The rapid change in behaviour of the 1918 Spanish Flu should
be a warning to us all that a virus can adapt very quickly in response
to small changes in evolutionary pressure. The closer we get to
universal vaccination, the greater the danger that leaky vaccines will
lead to dual-track variants that become more dangerous to the
unvaccinated.

There is one other danger from leaky vaccines that is worth mentioning
because researchers are already starting to see the first signs of it,
as you can see discussed in this paper published on August 9th, 2021,
in the Journal of Infection. It's called antibody-dependent
enhancement (ADE). It happens when a poorly designed vaccine trains
antibodies to recognize a virus as an intruder without being strong
enough to kill/neutralize them. Instead of the virus being neutralized
inside the antibody when the antibody attacks and "swallows" it
(antibodies envelope intruders in order to neutralize them), the virus
takes over the antibody cell that attacked it and uses it as a host to
start making copies of itself. Thus, the attacking antibody opens the
door to the inside of the cell and becomes the virus' unwitting host,
thereby accelerating rather than stopping the infection.

Antibody-dependent enhancement is a well-documented phenomenon in
attempts to develop vaccines against the RSV virus, dengue fever, and
other coronaviruses. This is one of the reasons why previous attempts
to develop a human coronavirus vaccine against the SARS virus failed.
It kept happening in animal trials. And many doctors warned from day
one that it would happen with these vaccines as well as new variants
gradually emerge that are sufficiently different from the original
variant upon which the vaccine is based. ADE doesn't show up on the
day after vaccination. It emerges gradually as new variants spread
that are different from previous variants.

Quote from the aforementioned study:

    ADE may be a concern for people receiving vaccines based on the
original Wuhan strain spike sequence (either mRNA or viral vectors).
Under these circumstances, second generation vaccines with spike
protein formulations lacking structurally-conserved ADE-related
epitopes should be considered.

In other words, your previous vaccination protects you only until new
variants arise, then the training that your previous vaccination gave
your immune system becomes a liability as your immune system switches
from protecting you to increasing your risk from the disease. Your
only way to protect yourself is to dutifully get your next "updated"
booster shot to protect you for next few short months. You become a
permanent drug dependent vaccine customer. And you better hope next
year's formulation doesn't get it wrong. And you better hope that
updates can keep you safe indefinitely because there's also the risk
that updates will get less effective as the bad training from previous
boosters begins to add up.

It puts a whole new spin on "trust the scientists." Your life will
literally be at their mercy.

I bet the pharmaceutical industry will be smiling at all those
drug-dependent chickens loyal customers though — talk about having a
captive audience! And what a sweet deal - vaccine makers have been
granted an exemption from liability and, if it goes wrong, they are
the go-to guy to solve it... with more boosters.

And with every booster, you'll get to play Russian Roulette all over
again with side effects: death, autoimmune diseases, reactivation of
dormant viruses, neurological damage, blood clotting, and more. Here's
where the reported side effects on the US VAERS system stand at the
time of writing (August 28th, 2021).

OpenVaers Search, August 28th, 2021

Leaky vaccines are playing with fire. All vaccine makers and public
health authorities were aware of the potential for ADE with the
development of a coronavirus vaccine. Yet they pushed for mass
vaccination, from day one, without completing the long-term trials
that are meant to rule out this kind of risk. They knowingly gambled
with your future in their eagerness to get you onto your regimen of
never-ending boosters and vaccine passports. Why not, if more boosters
are the solution if something going wrong. They can always blame it on
the "variants". The media won't challenge them - not with billions of
vaccine advertising dollars floating around.
Anti-Virus Security Updates: Cross-Reactive Immunity Through Repeated Exposure

And now we come to the second way in which our immune systems benefit
from the rapid evolution of RNA respiratory viruses and to the
sinister way in which public health policy is interfering with that
system.

The once deadly 1918 Spanish Flu is still with us today; now it is
part of the smorgasbord of viruses that cause colds and flus every
winter precisely because subsequent variants evolved to be less
deadly. As unpleasant as flu season is, for most of us it is not
lethal unless we have weak or compromised immune systems. But each
subsequent exposure teaches our immune system how to keep up with its
gradual evolution over time.

In other words, each year's fresh exposure to the latest strain of
cold or flu virus functions as a sort of antivirus security update to
partially prepare you for the next one. Fading immunity and changing
mutations means you'll never be 100% immune to the next one, but as
long as updates are frequent enough, you'll also never have 0%
immunity. There will always be enough carry-over to protect you from
the most serious outcomes unless you are unfortunate enough to have a
weak immune system. That is why it is called cross-reactive immunity.

A broad smorgasbord of viruses cruising around during cold and flu
season makes it less likely that we will die or get seriously ill when
exposed to some new "variant" from London, India, or Brazil, or if we
are exposed to a new "cousin", like COVID, which crawls out of some
bat cave or wet market or escapes from some lab in Wuhan.

Partial cross-reactive immunity requires periodic re-exposure.
Modified from Nature, 4704, September 17th, 2020.

But when we think about it for a moment, what was once dangerous when
it was new soon becomes our most important ally for the future to
protect us from the next dangerous new thing. As long as we are
re-exposed frequently, before immunity fades to zero, cross-reactive
immunity is the only realistic evolutionary strategy that humans have
to protect us from the next viral variant or viral cousin of these
fast-mutating respiratory viruses.

With sufficient leftover cross-reactive immunity from your last
exposure, exposure to the latest variant of a virus may simply result
in your immune system getting updated without you even noticing a
single thing. That's what it means to get an "asymptomatic" infection.
Before we started tormenting the healthy with never-ending PCR tests
to make us aware of all these "asymptomatic infections", we were
constantly getting lots of these "antivirus security updates" each
time we encountered one of the more than 200 respiratory viruses
circulating among us, often without even noticing the "infection".

Many of these encounters are asymptomatic because our immune systems
are able to neutralize them without even ruffling enough layers of our
defenses to trigger any symptoms. Almost everyone gets a few immune
system updates to the viruses that cause common colds, every single
year, yet only a small percentage will ever get very sick. The rest
may barely get a runny nose, or nothing symptoms at all.

Mass PCR testing during COVID created a massive freak-out over every
single asymptomatic COVID update when we should have only been focused
on those people who come down with severe symptomatic disease. There
was never any justifiable reason to roll out PCR tests to asymptomatic
citizens other than to heighten fear in the population in order to
make them receptive to mass vaccination.

So, in a sense, those 201 respiratory viruses that cause our colds and
flus are not just an inconvenience, they are nature's solution to
software updates ― even though they are dangerous to those with weak
immune systems, for the rest of us our immune systems depend on them
to give us partial protection against new strains that emerge through
mutation or when new strains jump across species boundaries. Getting
rid of those already circulating in society would make us more
vulnerable to new variants that emerge. Adding another 200 will make
us even safer once we get our first contact behind us.

Eradicating a relatively benign respiratory virus is therefore not a
desirable goal. But making it fade into the background is a desirable
public health goal so that what was once dangerous can now keep
protecting us against the next one through cross-reactive immunity.
Focused protection for the vulnerable, not lockdowns, was always the
only realistic public health response to this respiratory virus,
unless someone wanted to seize the opportunity as a way to rope the
public into mass vaccinations.

Nature evolved this fascinating strategy of self-updating
immunological countermeasures by continually testing us with mild
versions of previous closely related respiratory viruses. Our immune
system is therefore somewhat similar to an Olympic weightlifter whose
muscles not only stay strong but get even stronger by routinely
putting his muscles under a little bit of stress. Our immune system
functions the same way ― it must be continually stress-tested with
mild challenges to these fast-mutating viruses in order to develop the
robust arsenal of defenses to keep us safe. It is a concept called
anti-fragility, which was described in detail by Nassim Taleb in his
ground-breaking book, Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder
#Commissions Earned. Once you understand this concept, your fear of
"variants" will rapidly dissolve.

The eradication of these fast-mutating respiratory viruses is
therefore not just unachievable, it would actually be dangerous if we
succeeded because it would eliminate the security updates that we need
to protect us against new variants that crawl out of bat caves or jump
species boundaries. This year's runny nose is your protection against
COVID-23. Your cross-reactive immunity to last years annoying flu
might just save your life if something truly dangerous arrives, as
long as it is at least somewhat related to what your immune system has
seen before. COVID could easily have turned out to be as dangerous to
us as the Spanish Flu if it hadn't been for the saving grace of
cross-reactive immunity. As this study shows, up to 90-99% of us
already had some level of protection to COVID thanks to partial
cross-reactive immunity gained from exposure to other coronaviruses.
The high percentage of infections that turn out to be asymptomatic
bears that out.

Someone needs to remind Bill Gates, his fawning public health
bootlickers, and the pharmaceutical companies that whisper
sweet-nothings in his ear that in the natural world of respiratory
viruses, most of us don't need a regimen of never-ending booster shots
to keep us safe from COVID variants ― we already have a perfectly
functioning system to keep bringing us new updates. Respiratory
viruses are a completely different beast than smallpox, polio, or
measles; and pretending otherwise is not just silly, it's criminal
because anyone with a background in immunology knows better. But it's
a fantastic and very profitably way to scare a wide-eyed population
into accepting never-ending booster shots as a replacement for the
natural antivirus updates that we normally get from hugs and
handshakes. Protect the vulnerable. Stop preying on the rest of us.
The Not-So-Novel Novel Virus: The Diamond Princess Cruise Ship
Outbreak Proved We Have Cross-Reactive Immunity

A truly novel virus affects everyone because no-one has pre-existing
cross-reactive partial immunity to it. That's why the diseases that
accompanied Christopher Columbus to the Americas killed up to 95% of
North and South America's indigenous populations (see Guns, Germs, and
Steel, by Jared Diamond #Commissions Earned). To them, these diseases
were novel because they had no previous exposure to them and therefore
lacked the antivirus security updates acquired through pre-existing
infections. They would have benefited greatly from access to a vaccine
prior to first contact.

Thankfully, COVID-19 was not that kind of virus. Yet the media and
public health officials shamelessly provoked fear that it was by using
the scientifically accurate term novel to describe it, knowing full
well that all scientists would understand this to mean a newly
emergent strain while the general public would jump to the conclusion
that this was an entirely new virus (also called a novel virus by
scientists), like when tuberculosis or influenza accompanied Columbus
to the Americas. This was a grotesque example of public health
officials misusing scientific terminology, knowing full well that the
public would misunderstand the term novel according to how we use the
word in everyday language and not according to how the scientific
community uses it.

That little game successfully sparked a wave of fear that is so strong
that not only is everyone desperate for a leaky jab to lead them to
safety, they are so scared that they won't rest until all their
friends, neighbors, and family members get one too, even if it
requires extreme levels of coercion to get the job done. Canada has
even recently gone as far as making vaccination mandatory for all
federal employees, employees of Crown Corporations, employees of
federally-regulated companies (i.e. utilities) and for all travellers
on commercial airlines and trains (CBC, August 13th, 2021) !

Despite the scary numbers put out by the Chinese government in the
early days of the pandemic, the outbreak on the Diamond Princess
cruise ship served as an inadvertent petri-dish to study the COVID
virus. Thanks to that example, by the end of February 2020, we knew
that COVID was not some monster virus like the 1918 Spanish Flu but
was simply another coronavirus strain that was closely related to
previous coronaviruses and that most of us already carried some level
of cross-reactive immunity to protect us.

How do we know that? The virus circulated freely onboard the ship, yet
age corrected lethality remained between 0.025% and 0.625% (that's on
the order of a bad flu season and nothing at all like the fatality
rate of the 1918 Spanish Flu, which was between 2% and 10%). Only 26%
of the passengers tested positive for the virus and of those that
tested positive 48% remained completely symptom free despite the
advanced age of most of these passengers!

Diamond Princess Cruise Ship, Alpsdake, CC BY-SA 4.0.

The Diamond Princess didn't turn into the floating morgue of bygone
eras when ships carrying a disease were forced into quarantine. That
should have been the first clue that this virus was anything but novel
in the colloquial understanding of the term. Like most cold and flu
viruses, only those with weak immune systems were in danger while
everyone else got off with little or no symptoms. That is simply not
how a truly novel virus behaves when it encounters a population
without any pre-existing cross-reactive immunity. The only plausible
explanation for that lack of deadliness (deadly for some, annoying for
some, and asymptomatic for most others) is that most people already
have sufficient pre-existing cross-reactive immunity from exposure to
other coronaviruses.

Research subsequently confirmed what the Diamond Princess outbreak
revealed. Cross-reactive immunity. As I mentioned before, studies like
this one demonstrated that up to 90 - 99% of us already have some
residual level of partial protection to COVID. And we also
subsequently found out that most people who were exposed to the deadly
SARS virus in 2003 have little to fear from COVID, again because of
cross-reactive immunity. COVID was never a mortal threat to most of
us.

The important thing to remember is that the Diamond Princess data was
already publicly available since the end of February of 2020.
Operation Warp Speed, the vaccine development initiative approved by
President Trump, was nevertheless announced on April 29th, 2020. Thus,
our health authorities knowingly and opportunistically recommended
lockdowns and promoted vaccines as an exit strategy after it was
already clear that the majority of us had some kind of protection
through cross-reactive immunity. The Diamond Princess example provided
the unequivocal proof that the only people who might benefit from a
vaccine, even if it worked as advertised, were the small number of
extremely vulnerable members of society with weak immune systems.
Likewise, lockdowns should have been recommended only for nursing home
residents (on a strictly voluntary basis to protect their human
rights) while the pandemic surged through the rest of us.

The only plausible explanation for why our international health
authorities ignored the example of the Diamond Princess is if they
wanted to stoke fear among the public and if they wanted to bamboozle
credible politicians in order to opportunistically achieve some other
public health agenda. They pushed vaccination on everyone knowing full
well that most people don't need it and that protection would fade
quickly even if the vaccines had been 100% effective, which they also
knew was not going to be the case either. And yet they continue to
push these vaccines using the same deceitful tactics even today. Water
does not run uphill.

Mother Knows Best: Vitamin D, Playing in Puddles, and Sweaters

Just like during other cold and flu seasons, the vulnerable to COVID
are overwhelmingly those with compromised immune systems: those whose
immune systems are shutting down as they approach death from old age
and those whose immune systems are compromised due to severe
pre-existing conditions that reduce immune function.

For everyone else with a strong immune system and cross-reactive
immunity, we have little to fear from the virus and its never-ending
stream of mutations unless our immune systems are temporarily
suppressed through illness, environmental conditions, or nutritional
deficiencies.

Your mother's warnings about putting on a sweater, hat, and dry socks,
tucking in your shirt to cover your kidneys, and not playing in
puddles were not about preventing infection by a cold or flu, it was
about preventing symptomatic infection. Research has demonstrated that
getting chilled can temporarily suppress your immune system. Thus,
getting chilled increases the chance that an infection leads to
symptomatic disease rather than merely updating your immune system
through an asymptomatic infection. Your sweater won't prevent you from
catching an infection. But it might prevent that infection from
becoming a symptomatic disease. It could be the difference between
experiencing nothing and ending up in bed with a fever.

In the same way, topping up on vitamin C and D, eating properly,
getting enough rest, getting hugs from loved ones, adopting a positive
attitude in life, and smiling when you see a rainbow are all
strategies that help keep your immune system strong. They don't
prevent infection, but they might reduce your risk of a bad outcome.

Ask the staff in a nursing home what happens to their patients when
any of these important ingredients is missing ― vitamin and nutrient
deficiencies, poor sleep, loneliness, and depression lay out the
welcome mat for the Grim Reaper. A temporarily suppressed immune
system cannot mount an adequate immune response even when we do have
cross-reactive immunity.

Our public health authorities also all know this. This is not a
mystery. Yet, instead of promoting these strategies as ways in which
people could reduce their risk to severe outcomes, they have
systematically downplayed, ignored, or labeled these strategies as
"fake news". Maximize the risk of death. Then promote the vaccine as
the exclusive path to safety. Criminal.

You cannot control other people forever to avoid getting exposed to a
respiratory virus. COVID Zero is an authoritarian fantasy. But you can
control your food, your sleep, and your attitude so that your immune
system can mount the strongest attack it can muster. The odds are that
you already have all the cross-reactive immunity you need to survive
this virus without a hitch. Look inwards to find freedom from fear.

The Paradox: Why COVID-Zero Makes People More Vulnerable to Other Viruses

As is so often the case when politicians try to run our lives for us,
the government response to COVID is not just wrong, it is actually
making us more vulnerable, both to COVID and to other respiratory
viruses. Depriving nursing home patients of their loved ones, locking
them in isolation, locking people in their homes, shutting down gyms,
driving us into depression, and paralysing us with fear and
uncertainty ensures that our immune systems will be working at
suboptimal levels. Broken marriages, children deprived of social
contacts, insomnia, the remarkable surge in obesity that occurred
during COVID, and so many other consequences of these ill begotten
strategies all have a toll on our ability to mount a strong immune
response when we are inevitably exposed to any respiratory viruses.

Equally devastating is that, by disrupting our normal social contacts,
we have reduced how much training our immune system is getting through
repeated exposure to other respiratory viruses. A computer that stops
getting security updates becomes increasingly vulnerable to future
versions of viruses. The same goes for our immune system. COVID is not
the only risk. Remember, there are more than 200 other respiratory
viruses that are also circulating. They may not be getting much
attention and may be temporarily starved for hosts while we are cooped
up at home, but they haven't gone away. They are waiting. And when
they find us, they find hosts whose antivirus security updates are out
of date.

In other words, by breaking our ability to socialize with our peers,
what was once relatively harmless is becoming more dangerous to us
because our immune systems are out of practice. This isn't some
theoretical risk. We're already beginning to see the fallout from that
lack of updates, with deadly consequences.

For example, New Zealand was praised internationally for adopting a
COVID-Zero policy and for the low COVID cases that resulted. But the
lockdowns, social distancing measures, and border closures also had
another effect  ― there was a 99.9% reduction in flu cases and a 98%
reduction in cases of the RSV virus. Sounds good, right? Not so
fast...

Systems that depend on constant challenges to become antifragile will
become fragile if those challenges stop happening. A tree that grows
up sheltered from the wind will break when it is exposed to the storm.

Now New Zealand's myopic focus on COVID as the one and only risk is
coming home to roost. Its hospitals are overflowing with children. But
they're not being hospitalized by COVID. They are falling ill with RSV
virus because of the "immunity debt" that built up from not being
continually exposed to all the respiratory viruses that make up normal
life. These children are, quite literally, the next wave of victims of
COVID-Zero. Being cut off from normal life has left them fragile.
Instead of praise, it now is becoming apparent that New Zealand's
authoritarian strongwoman, Jacinda Ardern, and her public health
advisors ought to be standing trial for gross negligence for ignoring
the long-established research about how our immune systems depend on
continual exposure to respiratory viruses in order to stay healthy.

Source: The Guardian, July 8th, 2021.

As long as our social contacts are restricted, we are all becoming
increasing vulnerable to all these other respiratory viruses because
of the "immunity debt" that has built up during lockdowns and social
distancing rules. It turns out that handshakes and hugs are not just
good for the soul. Our public health officials have blood on their
hands for denying us our normal lives.

This heightened risk to other viruses isn't an unexpected outcome;
there were plenty of doctors who warned about precisely this risk as
lockdowns were being imposed. For example, Dr. Dan Erickson and Dr
Artin Massihi warned about this phenomenon back in May of 2020.
YouTube censored their video. Yet they were citing long-established
science that was uncontested until society collectively lost its mind
in 2020.
Introducing Immunity as a Service – A Subscription-Based Business
Model for the Pharmaceutical Industry (It was always about the money!)

As you can see from everything I have laid out in this essay, this
misbegotten vaccine-enabled fever dream was never a realistic solution
to stop COVID. At best, if the vaccines worked as advertised, all they
could ever have been was one tool among many to provide the vulnerable
with focused protection while the rest of us went about our normal
lives, largely unaffected by our periodic antivirus security updates
through exposure to the natural virus.

COVID-Zero in all its variations was a fantasy.

But it was not an accidental fantasy.

Water does not run uphill.

Every single public health official in the world has the education to
know that what they have been promoting, from day one, is gibberish.
What I have laid out in this essay is pretty basic virology and
immunology knowledge. Which raises a rather alarming question: how can
any virologist, immunologist, vaccine maker, or public health official
knowingly promote this lie?

Why is there such a blind obsession with getting us all to take a
vaccine that most people do not need and that can never provide
long-lasting herd immunity?

It's no mystery why pea-brained politicians might fall for this
fantasy; they are only as good as the advisors they listen to. And
politicians are shameless opportunists, so it is not surprising that
they are now exploiting the situation to increase their powers and to
harness this emerging command-and-control economy in pursuit of their
own ideological goals — redistribution, carbon net zero, social credit
score systems, you name it. In this Orwellian world, if you have a
podium and a utopian dream, the world is your oyster, at least as long
as the band keeps playing and the pitchforks can be kept off the
streets.

    "You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by
that it's an opportunity to do things you think you could not do
before."

    - Rahm Emanuel

    "I really believe COVID has created a window of political opportunity..."

    - Chrystia Freeland, Deputy Prime Minister of Canada

But our public health officials and international health organizations
are trained to know better. Yet they nevertheless set this nightmare
in motion in violation of all their own long-established pandemic
planning guidelines. They know eradication is impossible. They know
most of us already have cross-reactive immunity. They know most of us
are healthy enough so that our immune systems will protect us against
severe outcomes from this virus. They know about the negative
consequences imposed on our immune systems when we are prevented from
living normal lives. They know they are increasing our risk to other
viruses by preventing us from socializing. It's their job to know.
And, as I have demonstrated, they have known since day one.

But what if a shameless pharmaceutical industry could manipulate
public health policies by capturing politicians, policymakers, and
public health agencies through generous donations? What if the
boundaries between public health agencies, international public health
organizations, and pharmaceutical companies have become blurred to
such a degree that each benefits from reinforcing one another's best
interests? What if they have all come to believe that vaccines against
respiratory viruses are the holy grail of public health (and of
generous funding), even if they have to play fast and loose with the
truth to get humanity to accept them and even if they have to do a
little evil to achieve some imagined future "greater good"?

What if the revolving door between pharmaceutical companies, public
health, and international health organizations has created a kind of
blind groupthink within this holy trinity? What if anyone caught up in
that system is forced to bite their tongue because to speak out is a
deathblow to their career? What if many of those caught up in the
system genuinely believe the lies, despite a lifetime of training that
should tell them otherwise? The powerful effect of groupthink,
demonstrated by the Ash Conformity Experiments, can make people blind
to what is staring them in the face. Even the medieval kings knew they
needed a court jester to prevent the king from growing a big head. But
what if, in the hallowed halls of this holy trinity, all the court
jesters have long since been purged or cowed into silence?

    "It's dangerous to be right when the government is wrong."

    - Voltaire

A quote that best sums up the thinking inside many of our public
health institutions comes from Peter Daszak, head of EcoHealth
Alliance, a non-profit non-governmental organization that works
closely with public health agencies like the National Institutes of
Health (NIH) and intergovernmental organizations like the WHO
(published in a 2016 report by the National Academy of Sciences):

    "Daszak reiterated that, until an infectious disease crisis is
very real, present, and at an emergency threshold, it is often largely
ignored. To sustain the funding base beyond the crisis, he said, we
need to increase public understanding of the need for MCMs [medical
counter measures] such as a pan-influenza or pan-coronavirus vaccine.
A key driver is the media, and the economics follow the hype. We need
to use that hype to our advantage to get to the real issues. Investors
will respond if they see profit at the end of process, Daszak stated."
[Emphasis mine]

In the presence of so much conflict of interest, in the absence of the
checks and balances provided by individual rights, in the censorious
atmosphere of cancel culture that has infected all our public
institutions, and with so many institutional donors (private and
governmental alike) being enamored with social-engineering projects
and blinded by their own arrogance, it would perhaps be more
surprising if this vaccine-fueled hysteria hadn't happened.

In view of the circumstances, what happened almost seems inevitable.
To the eyes of profit-hungry pharmaceuticals and funding-hungry
national and international public health institutions, this virus must
look like manna from heaven. They must feel like a fox that has been
invited into the henhouse by ripe chickens that are begging to be
plucked.

History never repeats itself, but it does often rhyme. What has
emerged during COVID is simply a bigger, better, bolder replay of what
happened during the 2009 swine flu hysteria. I'd like to share a few
quotes with you - and keep in mind that these are about the 2009 Swine
Flu scandal, not COVID:

>From a 2010 article entitled: European Parliament to Investigate WHO
and "Pandemic" Scandal [Emphasis mine]:

    "In his official statement to the Committee, Wodarg criticized the
influence of the pharma industry on scientists and officials of [the]
WHO, stating that it has led to the situation where "unnecessarily
millions of healthy people are exposed to the risk of poorly tested
vaccines," and that, for a flu strain that is "vastly less harmful"
than all previous flu epidemics."

    "For the first time, the WHO criteria for a pandemic was changed
in April 2009 as the first Mexico cases were reported, to make not the
actual risk of a disease but the number of cases of the disease [the]
basis to declare "Pandemic." By classifying the swine flu as [a]
pandemic, nations were compelled to implement pandemic plans and also
t[o] purchase swine flu vaccines."

And here are a series of even more revealing quotes from a 2010 report
published by Der Spiegel called: Reconstruction of a Mass Hysteria —
The Swine Flu Panic of 2009:

    "Researchers in more than 130 laboratories in 102 countries are
constantly on the lookout for new flu pathogens. Entire careers and
institutions, and a lot of money, depend on the outcomes of their
work. "Sometimes you get the feeling that there is a whole industry
almost waiting for a pandemic to occur," says flu expert Tom
Jefferson, from an international health nonprofit called the Cochrane
Collaboration. "And all it took was one of these influenza viruses to
mutate to start the machine grinding."

    "Does this mean that a very mild course of the pandemic was not
even considered from the start? At any rate, efforts to downplay the
risks were unwelcome, and the WHO made it clear that it preferred to
base its decisions on a worst-case scenario. "We wanted to
overestimate rather than underestimate the situation," says Fukuda
[Keiji Fukuda was the Assistant Director-General for Health, Security
and Environment for the WHO at that time]."

    "The media also did its part in stoking fears. SPIEGEL, for
example, had reported at length on the avian flu. Now it devoted a
cover story to the new "global virus," a story filled with concerns
that the swine flu pathogen could mutate into a horrific virus."

    "The pharmaceutical industry was particularly adept at keeping
this vision alive."

    "We expected a real pandemic, and we thought that it had to
happen. There was no one who suggested re-thinking our approach."

    "the vast majority of experts on epidemics automatically associate
the term "pandemic" with truly aggressive viruses. On the WHO Web
site, the answer to the question "What is a pandemic?" included
mention of "an enormous number of deaths and cases of the disease" --
until May 4, 2009. That was when a CNN reporter pointed out the
discrepancy between this description and the generally mild course of
the swine flu. The language was promptly removed."

    "'Sometimes some of us think that WHO stands for World Hysteria
Organization,' says Richard Schabas, the former chief medical officer
for Canada's Ontario Province."

    "A party with strong connections in Geneva had a strong interest
in phase 6 being declared as quickly as possible: the pharmaceutical
industry."

    "Meanwhile, a debate had erupted over whether Germany had chosen
the wrong vaccine, Pandemrix [it was later found to have caused
narcolepsy in some patients, which is an autoimmune disease]. It
contained a new type of agent designed to boost its effectiveness,
known as an adjuvant, which had never undergone large-scale human
trials in connection with the swine flu antigen. Were millions of
people about to receive a vaccine that had hardly been tested?"

    "But the contracts for Pandemrix had been signed in 2007, and they
came into effect automatically when the WHO decided to declare phase
6."

    "The ministers felt pressured from all sides. On the one hand, the
media were stoking fears of the virus. The German tabloid newspaper
Bild, in particular, was printing new tales of horror almost daily. On
the other hand, the pharmaceutical companies were upping the pressure
and constantly setting new ultimatums."

    "Oct. 9, 2009: Wolf-Dieter Ludwig, an oncologist and chairman of
the Drug Commission of the German Medical Association , says: 'The
health authorities have fallen for a campaign by the pharmaceutical
companies, which were plainly using a supposed threat to make money.'"

    "Oct. 21, 2009: A BILD newspaper headline, printed in toxic
yellow, warns: "Swine Flu Professor Fears 35,000 Dead in Germany !"
The professor's name is Adolf Windorfer, and when pressed, he admits
that he has received payments from the industry, including GSK and
Novartis. Next to the BILD headline is an ad for the German
Association of Pharmaceutical Companies."

    "According to Wodarg, the WHO's classification of the swine flu as
a pandemic have earned the pharmaceutical companies $18 billion in
additional revenues. Annual sales of Tamiflu alone have jumped 435
percent, to €2.2 billion."

Rinse and repeat in 2020-2021.

What if, upon recognizing the emergence of a new pandemic, those in
the know opportunistically made vaccines the endgame? What if all the
vaccine injuries recorded on VAERS and all the risks they are taking
with our lives are simply collateral damage - a calculated investment
risk - in order to turn their dream of subscription-based "immunity as
a service" into reality.

In the words of Bill Gates, “we kind of caught mRNA half way to prime
time.” Maybe we should believe him — and gape in awe at the
recklessness and contempt they have shown for their fellow citizens in
order to capitalize on this "window of opportunity". Carpe diem (seize
the day). Don't sweat the small stuff. Keep your eye on the ball...
and on the year-end bonuses.

What if COVID-Zero, in all its variations, was merely a strategy to
herd us together so we obediently line up for an endless string of
booster shots as a trade-off for access to our lives?

In other words, what if someone could bamboozle our leaders into
believing that the only way back to a normal life is for vaccines to
replace the role that hugs and handshakes used to play in order to
update us with the latest antivirus security updates?

What if, by depriving us of normal life, those who stand to gain from
vaccines can forever cement themselves at the center of society by
providing an artificial replacement for what our immune systems used
to do to protect us against common respiratory viruses back when we
were still allowed to live normal lives?

The headlines tell the story:

    "Pfizer CEO says third Covid vaccine dose likely needed within 12
months." (CNBC, April 15th, 2021)

    "Variants could be named after star constellations when Greek
alphabet runs out, says WHO Covid chief." (The Telegraph, August 7th,
2021)

    "Fauci warns Americans may face having booster shots indefinitely"
(Daily Mail, August 13th, 2021, and Dr. Fauci in his own words on
YouTube on August 12th, 2021)

    "Biden OKs booster shots 5 months after 2nd dose" (Boston Globe,
August 27th, 2021)

What if the fast mutation of RNA viruses ensures that no vaccine will
ever be fully effective at providing lasting immunity, thus creating
the illusion that we are permanently in need of vaccine boosters?

What if politicians could be convinced to make vaccination mandatory
in order to prevent potential customers from opting out?

What if, by relying on lockdowns during the winter season, our
vulnerability to other viruses increased, which could then be used to
rationalize expanding the jab, via mission creep, to simultaneously
vaccinate us against RSV, influenza, other coronaviruses, the common
cold, and so on, despite knowing full well that the protection that
these vaccines offer against respiratory viruses is only temporary?

And what other social engineering goals can be rolled into your annual
booster shot in the future once you are permanently bound to these
annual jabs and vaccine passports? In an atmosphere of hysteria, it's
a system ripe for abuse by opportunists, ideologues, power hungry
totalitarians, and Malthusian social engineers. The snowball doesn't
have to grow by design. Mission creep happens all on its own once
Pandora's Box is opened to coerced vaccinations and conditional
rights. The road to Hell is frequently paved by good intentions... and
hysteria.

So, what if COVID-Zero and the vaccine exit strategy is merely the
global state-sanctioned equivalent of a drug dealer creating
dependency among its customers to keep pushing more drugs?

What if it was all just a way of convincing society of the need for
subscription-based "immunity as a service"? The subscription-based
business model (or some version of it) is all the rage these days in
the corporate world to create loyal captive audiences that generate
reliable money streams, forever. Subscriptions are not just for your
cable TV and gym membership anymore. Everything has been redesignated
as a "consumable".

    Netflix did it with movies.

    Spotify did it with music.

    Microsoft did it with its Office suite.

    Adobe did it with Photoshop editing suite.

    The smartphone industry did it with phones that need to be
replaced every 3 to 5 years.

    The gaming industry did it with video games.

    Amazon is doing it with books (i.e. Kindle Unlimited).

    The food industry is doing it with meal delivery services (i.e.
Hello Fresh).

    Uber is doing it with subscription-based ride sharing.

    Coursera is doing it with online education.

    Duolingo and Rosetta Stone are doing it with language learning.

    Zoom is doing it with online meetings.

    Monsanto and its peers did it to farmers with patented seed
technology, which cannot legally be replanted, and is lobbying to try
to legalize the use of terminator seed technology (GMO seeds that are
sterile in the second generation to prevent replanting).

    The healthcare industry is doing it with concierge medical
services, fitness tracking apps (Fitbit), sleep-tracking apps, and
meditation apps.

    The investment industry is doing it with farmland, with investors
owning the land and leasing it back to farmers in a kind of modern
revival of the sharecropping system. (Bill Gates is the largest
farmland owner in the USA - are you surprised?)

    Blackrock and other investment firms are currently trying to do it
with homes to create a permanent class of renters.

    And public health authorities and vaccine makers have been trying
to do it with flu vaccines for years, but we've been stubbornly
uncooperative. Not anymore.

Remember when the World Economic Forum predicted in 2016 that by 2030
all products would become services? And remember their infamous video
in which they predicted that "You will own nothing. And you will be
happy."? Well, the future is here. This is what it looks like. The
subscription-based economy. And apparently it now also includes your
immune system in a trade-off for access to your life.

Original video on Facebook, World Economic Forum, December 9th, 2016.

Let's revisit the Peter Daszak quote from earlier. A second read
allows the message to really hit home:

    "Daszak reiterated that, until an infectious disease crisis is
very real, present, and at an emergency threshold, it is often largely
ignored. To sustain the funding base beyond the crisis, he said, we
need to increase public understanding of the need for MCMs [medical
counter measures] such as a pan-influenza or pan-coronavirus vaccine.
A key driver is the media, and the economics follow the hype. We need
to use that hype to our advantage to get to the real issues. Investors
will respond if they see profit at the end of process, Daszak stated."

Isn't it ironic that he didn't even care which vaccine was pushed?
Influenza or coronavirus, it made no difference. It was always about
funding. It was always about the money. It always was. It always is.

The holy trinity of pharmaceutical companies, public health, and
international health organizations, all egging each other on in their
hunger for a reliable flow of cash: shareholder profits, larger
budgets, and governmental donations. Their interests are perfectly
aligned and the lines between them are blurred to such a degree that
each benefits from reinforcing one another's best interests.

And why would politicians and media bow to the holy trinity?

Big Pharma spent an average of US$4.7 billion per year between 1999
and 2018 on lobbying and campaign contributions, just in the USA!

Big Pharma also shells out $US20 billion each year to schmooze doctors
and another US$6 billion on drug ads, just in the USA! So, it's no
surprise why legacy media and Big Tech are tripping over themselves
not to ruffle the party line — they live and die by the almighty
advertising dollar. Never bite the hand that feeds you.

So, they are all dancing to the same tune while your pocket gets
picked and your arm gets pricked, and everyone wins... except you and
me. We are the cow that gets milked. We are the serfs that fund their
largesse in this neo-feudal society where a few big boys own the
assets and everyone else is beholden to those above them in the
hierarchy for access to, well, everything — land, resources, rights,
individual autonomy, and even immune systems. My body, their choice.

What if, in an atmosphere of runaway hysteria, a police state founded
on medical tyranny is creating itself, fueled by a toxic brew of
self-serving opportunists who have seized the moment to superimpose
their own goals on a fortuitous virus, until one day you wake up to
find yourself chained and milked, like a cow in a dairy barn, under
the absolute custody of a modern-day Louis the Fourteenth and his
royal court full of drug pushers, ideologues, and militant devotees?
The modern face of feudalism, updated for the 21st century.
Neo-feudalism, enforced by a mandatory subscription-based "immunity as
a service".

And what if a society that has lost its principles, a society that is
eager to hand over individual responsibility to "experts," a society
that is held hostage to cancel culture mobs, a society that no longer
has transparency into the decisions made by its experts, a society led
by a censorious political class full of immoral opportunists, a
society that has fallen so in love with big government that red tape
and cronyism have completely erased the self-limiting checks and
balances of a free and open society, and a society that has elevated
safety to a new sort of religious cult is a society that has no
immunity to protect itself from predators who treat us like cattle?

No period in history has ever lacked in snake-oil salesmen,
ideologues, and social engineers eager to take society for a ride.
Most of the time, they are ignored. So, what if the only real mystery
is why society has grown so willing to accept the collar and yoke?

What if all this really is just as simple as that?
The Path Forward: Neutralizing the Threat and Bullet-Proofing Society
to Prevent This Ever Happening Again.

Now we know we've been played, how we've been played, and why we've
been played. Again. Just like during the 2009 Swine Flu con. Only
bigger, bolder, and better. They learned from their mistakes. We
didn't.

But now that you see the con, you can't unsee it. And now that you
understand the threat and how the game is being played, there is a
weight that comes off your shoulders.

When you know there's a threat, but you don't know exactly what it is,
every movement in the grass might be a tiger or a snake or a scorpion.
It's paralysing and exhausting to defend yourself against an invisible
unknown and they have used that fear masterfully against us to keep us
frozen. But once you spot the tiger in the grass, you know where to
direct your focus, your feet become unglued, your voice becomes bold,
and you regain the clarity of thought to defend yourself.

The con is clear. It's time to focus all our might on stopping this
runaway train before it takes us over the cliff into a police state of
no return. Stand up. Speak out. Refuse to play along. Stopping this
requires millions of voices with the courage to say NO — at work, at
home, at school, at church, and out on the street.

    "Nonviolent direct action seeks to create such a crisis & foster
such a tension that a community which has constantly refused to
negotiate is forced to confront the issue. It seeks so to dramatize
the issue that it can no longer be ignored." — Martin Luther King Jr.

Compliance is the glue that holds tyranny together. Non-compliance
breaks it apart. One person alone cannot stop this. But if millions
find the courage to raise their voices and the courage to refuse to
participate in the system on these tyrannical medical terms, it will
throw the system into such a crisis and create such a tension that the
community will be forced to confront the issue. Without enough
truckers, no-one eats. Without enough medical staff, hospitals close.
Without enough workers, supply chains break. Without enough policemen,
laws cannot be enforced. Without enough garbage collectors, cities
grind to a halt. Without enough cashiers, box stores cannot stay open.
Without enough administrators, institutions cease to function. Without
enough staff, corporations lose profits. Without enough servers,
restaurants cannot serve their customers. And without enough
customers, businesses are brought to their knees.

Tyranny is not sustainable if the system grinds to a halt. Make it
grind by being a thorn in everyone's side until they give us back our
freedoms and end this ridiculous charade. They are trying to impose
vaccine passports and mandatory vaccinations. But we hold the cards...
but only if we are bold enough to stand up even at the risk of finding
ourselves standing alone. Courage begets courage. It was Martin Luther
King's secret power. It must be ours.

Now that you see the con, you also know the simple recipe to make this
virus go away before their reckless policies turn it a monster virus
for real. Remember 1918. End the war on the virus. Let the young folks
come out of the trenches. Let people go back to their lives. Provide
focused protection for the vulnerable. That is how this virus fades
into the history books.

It's time to be bold. It's time to call out the fraudsters. And it's
time to reclaim the habits, values, and principles that are required
to fix our democratic and scientific institutions to prevent this from
ever happening again.

Feudalism was one giant stinking cesspool of self-serving corruption.
Individual rights, free markets, the democratic process, and limited
government were the antidotes that freed humanity from that
hierarchical servitude. It seems we have come full circle. The COVID
con is a symptom, not the cause, of a broken system.

Modern liberal democracy all around the world was inspired by the
system of checks and balances that America's Founding Fathers built to
prevent government from being co-opted by the special interests of its
leaders, institutions, corporations, and most influential citizens.
The ink was barely dry when those principles began to be ignored by
those with ever greater enthusiasm for an all-powerful referee to
manage even the most intimate details of how everyone lives their
lives. After two and a half centuries of effort the admirers of big
government have achieved their heart's desire. And what a glorious and
rotten cesspool of self-serving corruption it is.

But the principles laid out by America's Founding Fathers remain as
true today as the day they were written and are waiting to be
rediscovered. If there is one culprit who deserves to shoulder more
blame than any other for the fiasco of the last 18 months, it is
society itself for allowing itself to fall prey to the siren song of
big government, the illusion that there can ever be a benevolent,
virtuous, and incorruptible referee. He who creates the red tape, he
who has the keys to the treasury, he who wields the power of the tax
collector, and he who commands those sent to enforce the laws will
always have an entourage of self-serving charlatans, rent seekers, and
parasites following him wherever he goes. So, keep his powers on a
very short leash to keep other people's hands off your money, your
property, your freedom, and your body. You don't need better leaders.
You need less powerful institutions. That's how you prevent this from
ever happening again.

Freedom of speech, individual rights, private property, individual
ownership, competition, good faith debate, small government, minimal
taxes, limited regulation, and free markets (the opposite of the crony
capitalism we now suffer under), these are the checks and balances
that bullet-proof a society against the soulless charlatans that fail
upwards into positions of power in bloated government institutions and
against the parasitic fraudsters that seek to attach themselves to the
government's teat.

Yes, we need a Great Reset. Just not the subscription-based version
that the World Economic Forum imagined.

"Just Say No to Drugs"

    “One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been
bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the
bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The
bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge,
even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan
power over you, you almost never get it back.”

Dark #Commissions Earned
