Moreover, I thought it was abjectly cruel to deny them visitors (I.e. family and friends) rights for over a year, when a lot of the care staff was casual and thus, changed every week.

Remember essential workers?

That's where the evil plan went wrong. The hypocrisy was obvious from day one of "two weeks to flatten the curve" when essential workers, mostly hourly laborers, still had to go to their job. Meanwhile, people who hated their jobs got to stay home and "work remotely". On top of that the government was "bailing out" people by sending them checks, needed or not.

They planned this. They failed with Covid, but we now know they want to kill or control us.

Zero Young Healthy Individuals Died of COVID-19, Israeli Data Show

Zero healthy individuals under the age of 50 have died of COVID-19 in Israel, according to newly released data.

“Zero deceased of 18–49 years of age with no underlying morbidities,” the Israel Ministry of Health (MOH) said in response to a formal request from an attorney.

Officials noted that the statement only applies to COVID-19 deaths where the MOH conducted an epidemiological investigation and had received information about the underlying diseases.

“Zero is a very, very clear number, and cannot be subject to interpretation,” Yoav Yehezkelli, a specialist in internal medicine and medical management, and former lecturer in the Department of Emergency and Disaster Management at Tel Aviv University in Israel, told The Epoch Times.

“Why were all the extreme measures of school closures, vaccination of children, and lockdowns needed?” he added.

The MOH did respond to a request for comment.
Freedom of Information Request

The information was sparked by a freedom of information request filed by attorney Ori Xabi, who has been filing several such requests as he seeks to obtain information from the MOH regarding the COVID-19 pandemic and COVID-19 policies.

Xabi asked to know the average age of people who died of COVID-19, segmented by vaccination status at the time of death; how many COVID-19 patients with no underlying morbidities under the age of 50 died; and the annual number of cardiac arrest cases between 2018 to 2022.

According to the MOH response, the average age of vaccinated COVID-19 patients who died was 80.2 years. The average for the unvaccinated was 77.4 years.

The MOH emphasized that the data they have about the underlying diseases of patients is partial since it relies on information provided by the patients or their relatives, if they chose to do so. And then, only in cases in which the MOH conducted an epidemiological investigation.

Therefore “the available information does not necessarily reflect the health status of the patient” the MOH wrote adding that they do not have access to the patients’ medical records.

It is not clear why the MOH responded to Xabi’s request using only cases where the MOH had conducted an epidemiological investigation, and which was limited to deceased patients where the families had cooperated, since in 2020 the MOH told the Israeli Knesset—the Israeli parliament—that they use an intelligence system that provides the MOH with extensive information about deceased patients that included “underlying diseases.”

A document (pdf) from the Knesset Research and Information Center, dated June 7, 2020, stated that the MOH provided data to the Special Committee for the New COVID Virus about COVID-19 deaths—298 by that day at 4:30 p.m.—at the request of Yifat Shasha-Biton, a member of the Knesset, and the chair of that committee.

The ministry’s intelligence system has data on gender, age, district of residence, and the underlying diseases of the deceased, according to the document. The system showed that about 94 percent of the deceased were 60 years or older and that there were no deceased with zero underlying diseases. ...

The good news is they don't have the ten trillion dollars in fiat printing press or laundered money any more to make Covid fraud and its ilk viable again. One would hopium they shot their wad on that one for a while, but WHO knows but the WHO?

Another thing, unrelated, that no one will study is why so many lesbians take on male physical characteristics.

I was neighbors and still good friends with one of those. I don't get it. Short hair cut, like really short. Literally wears mens clothes. She's fun and nice as hell.

I think it has more to do with dominance if that makes sense. Men are the dominant sex. That's fact. So they try to emulate that knowing they can prey on the more feminine lesbians. Or those willing to flirt with trying to be one. Women are attracted to power and if you show it they will come... lol. Well besides feminist.

I've gotten in heated arguments with women before. I get the baby is carried by you, BUT it doesn't exist without semen. A man. We're all dead if a dude doesn't fuck a woman. So sick of seeing the occasional boycott sex by females chant or whatever. Do it. You're dead in a decade or two because we didn't create any more men to take care of the shit you can't.

There was no COVID-19 pandemic, and there is strong evidence of response-caused deaths in the most elderly and in young males
Denis G. Rancourt, Marine Baudin, Jérémie Mercier

Abstract

We analyzed all-cause mortality by week (ACM/w) for Canada, and for the Canadian provinces, and by age group and sex, from January 2010 through March 2021; in comparison with data for other countries and their regions or counties.

We find that there is no extraordinary surge in yearly or seasonal mortality in Canada, which can be ascribed to a COVID-19 pandemic; and that several prominent features in the ACM/w in the COVID-19 period exhibit anomalous province-to-province heterogeneity that is irreconcilable with the known behaviour of epidemics of viral respiratory diseases (VRDs). We conclude that a pandemic did not occur.

https://palexander.substack.com/p/pandemic-covid-pandemic-was-a-fraud

COVID pandemic was a fraud, a lie, a hoax! There was never EVER a pandemic, never met the threshold of a pandemic & we were lied to deliberately for nefarious reasons by governments

We knew 2 weeks out that the risk of survival was 99.998% for those 70-75 years old and below! Zero child in US died across 3 years if infected! life expectancy 79 yrs, median age of COVID death is 83...

Our governments and their health officials, alphabet health agencies with their incompetent political malfeasant leaders and officials, the legacy swamp media, the medical doctors, academic scientists, television talking heads etc. DID kill. Not the virus. No no no, we lost most not from COVID virus, we lost most due to:

1)denial of treatment for chronic illnesses such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, metabolic disorder etc. as all beds and clinics were criminally and insanely designated ‘COVID’ beds and services ONLY

2)the ravages of the lockdown lunacy, school closures, business closures etc. Many hung themselves.

3)the fraud ineffective and deadly COVID gene injection itself (the Malone, Kariko, Weissman et al. mRNA technology based gene injection)

4)and mainly, due to how the medical system treated our elderly and our peoples via DNR orders, denial of antibiotics when most advanced COVID patients had serious bacterial pneumonia needing antibiotics, fraud overcycled PCR false positive process (95% false positive when cycle count threshold was above 24), sedation using diamorphine, midazolam, isolation, malnourichment, dehydration of our elderly locked away in the COVID ‘black hole’ (COVID PROTOCOL) in the back of the glass windowed rooms of the hospital, administering deadly Remdesivir (kidney and liver toxic), intubation and then put on the deadly ventilator that blew up lungs.

We created a fraud pandemic using the fraud PCR false positive test cycled to 40 and 45 and thus not detecting infectious and lethal virus. It was all a hoax largely designed for nefarious reasons and to topple Trump. The respiratory influenza like illness due to whatever Fauci and Francis Collins and their NIH and DoD et al. created via gain-of-function or whatever, note I use the term ‘whatever’ for what we think we know today will change tomorrow, and that respiratory illness was not out of the ordinary. It actually was on line with ‘expected’.

Yeah, but they are all driving Mercedes Benz's and enjoying country estates while you are dead or in a decay orbit from the vaccines.

LOL! what a clown show!

https://metatron.substack.com/p/there-was-no-pandemic

Many of us are independently coming to this conclusion1.

My summary is thus:

that a virus, was circulating the globe in 2019/20, which may or may not have been the result of gain-of-function research, which nevertheless was not particularly novel and otherwise, if ignored, would not have made any material impact on mortality in any particular country;

that the response to news of this virus was responsible for the deaths of millions of people worldwide but only moribund people whose lives were curtailed by 6 to 12 months;

that those deaths were attributed to the virus due to inappropriate use of the PCR test on too high a cycle threshold;

that if any other virus, even say any of the 200 that comprise the “common cold” had been singularly tested in the same way, their presence in the deceased would have produced the same alleged deaths as COVID;

that the impact of these policy deaths would have been net off the following mortality year, due to the “pull-forward” effect except for the “vaccine” generating a new cohort of accelerated moribundity;

that these “vaccine” deaths were falsely attributed to COVID in the same way as the original pandemic;

that the excess mortality in the years post the original proclamation of a pandemic, and the introduction of the novel therapy to deal with it, appears lower than it really is because it includes the hidden deficit of those who died slightly prematurely the previous year;

that even with all that, the degree of life years lost (as opposed to absolute deaths) has never constituted an emergency, notwithstanding the much lower age profiles of deaths since the “vaccine”, compared to deaths before.

"Grandpa, were you alive during COVID?"

"I certainly was! It was very scary."

"Did you know a lot of people who died?"

"Well, no. But 7 million people died!"

"7 million people died in our country alone? Yikes!"

"Well, no. Around the world."

"In a week or two?"

"Well, no. But over the course of 2 1/2 years."

"What was the world population then?"

"7 billion."

"So 0.1% of the world's population died over 2 1/2 years. But I suppose a lot of them were children, so that's sad."

"Well, no. COVID barely affected children. It was almost entirely people in their mid '70s or older who died."

"Mid '70s?! What was life expectancy back then?"

"Um, if I remember correctly it was around, uh, mid-70s."

Professor Halpern’s comments followed, affirming that the populace would respond obediently to new “stay at home” orders since they “kind of know what the drill is.”

Using the experience from the COVID-19 pandemic, the leading behavioral scientist suggested that the nation will now more willingly accept local restrictions if required.

He defended the use of “fear-based” messaging in critical circumstances, noting that sometimes it is necessary to “cut through,” especially if you think people are “wrongly calibrated.”

I disagree. Halpern is himself wrongly calibrated and will find that out the next time that he and the other criminals like Pfauci, Collins, and Bourla try this genocidal bullshit again and are shot by an enraged public and have their bodies dragged through the streets.

Patrick says - based on some link:

"COVID barely affected children. It was almost entirely people in their mid '70s or older who died."

It was the Covid mRNA vaccine that killed the children and most people.

In addition, people were denied the use of medications that cured Covid such as Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and Ivermectin.

And miracle of miracles the annual flu disappeared in those three years... Covid took its place.

In addition, people were forced to take Resmevidir - a very expensive medication at about $3,000 a pill - and Resmevidir killed 30% of those who took this pill.

Next, check out this maddening admission, arriving in slow motion three years too late:

The official [covid deaths] number is probably an exaggeration because it includes some people who had virus when they died even though it was not the underlying cause of death. Other C.D.C. data suggests that almost one-third of official recent Covid deaths have fallen into this category. A study published in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases came to similar conclusions.

Haha, forgive and forget, right? Saying that covid deaths were exaggerated used to be the darkest kind of disinformation, and saying it would promptly get you cancelled from social media. Plus if you said it, you would literally and instantly kill grandma, making you the most deplorable sort of criminal. I even got death threats in 2021 for reporting that covid deaths were exaggerated, a fact the New York Times now causally plunks into the middle of its self-congratulatory “covid is finally over” article. ...

And apparently, covid isn’t even a problem for the much decried immunocompromised population, not any more:

Most immunocompromised people are at little additional risk from Covid — even people with serious conditions, such as multiple sclerosis or a history of many cancers.

My goodness. So all that masking and jabbing to protect immunocompromised people was … for nothing? You really can’t make this stuff up.

From the link: "Haha, forgive and forget, right? Saying that covid deaths were exaggerated used to be the darkest kind of disinformation, and saying it would promptly get you cancelled from social media."

Actually very early into the so-called Covid pandemic we were told that the cause of death of a murder victim in Colorado with six bullets in his head and body was Covid. Then we were told that the cause of death of a motorcycle accident in Florida was Covid...

These arrogant fraudsters/murderers are also pathetic liars...

https://rwmalonemd.substack.com/p/its-evil-to-fake-deaths-to-panic

This World Health Organization document quoted above proves that the world public health leadership at the WHO faked death reports during the pandemic. This was designed to overestimate the death rate worldwide.

This document, titled: “INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR CERTIFICATION AND CLASSIFICATION (CODING) OF COVID-19 AS CAUSE OF DEATH Based on ICD International Statistical Classification of Diseases” clearly demonstrates, with images no less, that the WHO was and IS requiring countries to jigger death certificates to code for more COVID-19 deaths than there actually were.

The document also “teaches” physicians and hospitals to code for COVID-19, even when the cause of death may have been something else. Note that in the WHO examples below, a positive COVID-19 test is not necessary for listing COVID-19 as the cause of death. ...

In the USA, this appears to get even more nefarious.

Due to the CARES act, medicare paid hospitals a 20% "add-on" to the regular payment for COVID-19 patients. Remember that the people who became sick from COVID were generally the elderly and on medicare. Ergo: the incentive to put people on ventilators. There was a financial incentive to put people on ventilators and yet ventilators contributed to many of the COVID-19 deaths. ...

Note that remdesivir is still considered the main drug of choice for treating COVID-19 by the NIH, even in many patients with mild to moderate disease. Yet this drug is known for causing renal failure and significantly higher rates of death in various patient populations, such as those receiving high flow oxygen. Yet, the NIH guidelines above STILL recommend remdesivir for patients on high flow oxygen.

Do they want to kill people? It sure seems that way. ...

So, not only was the death rate over estimated worldwide, in the USA at least, ventilation and remdesivir were strongly “encouraged” by the government. The NIH was using treatment protocols that were intentionally or not, designed to kill people. These are strong words. Physicians were not allowed to deviate from these government protocols. Protocols that killed people.

This has led to a general mistrust of public health and rightly so.

It is evil to fake deaths to cause the mortality rates of COVID-19 to spike.

It is evil to force physicians to use protocols that were not clinically tested or proven to be effective.

Our public health system is broken worldwide and it is only getting worse.

The adult conversation we were not allowed to have as a nation

Posted by Dr. Scott Jensen — four doctors, six minutes, discussing the actual observed risks of Covid by age. So straightforward and yet the mainstream media absolutely forbade anyone from having this conversation for three years.

https://euphoricrecall.substack.com/p/the-new-york-times-admits-covid-numbers

A recent New York Times article celebrating “a positive covid milestone” contains a rather remarkable admission. Citing a significant decline in covid deaths, writer David Leonhardt claims that the actual number is almost certainly even lower.

“The official number is probably an exaggeration because it includes some people who had the virus when they died even though it was not the underlying cause of death,” Leonhardt writes.

Leonard mentions this information very casually, as if it were self-evident and not verboten for the vast majority of the pandemic. The claim that official covid numbers were being inflated was repeatedly dismissed as a groundless conspiracy theory. Much of the country, happy to be told what to think instead of taking agency and doing the thinking for oneself, solemnly accepted the figures coming from the CDC and parroted by the mainstream media as evidence that covid was far more deadly than it really is. ...

If you were to look into the CDC’s death certificate reporting guidelines, you’d find that there was no requirement at all that covid be causally responsible to be listed on a death certificate.

Think about that. ...

In sum, the overly-inclusive definitions and death counts used by the public health establishment and propagated by the mainstream media, along with sloppy standards and lax criteria, turned the pandemic into a self-perpetuating shit show the likes of which will go down in the annals of history as easily the most catastrophic public health response ever. It’s through the distance that only time can give that we’ll come to understand the true magnitude of the pathologized-totalitarian science experiment we were subjected to.

Policymakers, public officials, and zero-covid zealots are beginning to intuit this; they know in their heart of hearts that their refusal to allow for basic cost-benefit analysis, to admit uncertainty and mistakes, and the ways they’ve eroded trust in key institutions when that trust was of dire importance—all of this, they know, played a role in upending people’s lives, and in all likelihood they’re desperately hoping that when it comes time to write the history of the pandemic, the Covid Cult will get little more than a footnote or two. It’s up to us to ensure that doesn’t happen.

Never forget. Public health officials must hang for their murderous shilling for Pfizer profits.

The Covid response was a lot of things, but above all it was just really, really stupid. This stupidity was in no way unique; a lot of what modern states do is mind-numbingly idiotic. Covid was different only to the extent that intense media attention cast this stupidity in unusually sharp relief.

Over the years I’ve proposed various theses of political stupidity, but as I reread old press reports and leaks for my book, I’m struck by one recurring tendency above all. This is the ambition on the part of technocrats to maintain – and their failure to sustain – a double vision of reality. On the one hand, they arrogate to themselves the privilege of seeing things as they really are; they alone have the true vision. On the other hand, they insist on conveying to the public an exaggerated or false vision, because the public cannot be trusted to act correctly if they are merely presented with the world as it is. As soon as the political arm take up their false vision and the press report it, however, the technocrats lose contact with whatever true vision they imagined themselves to hold, and they can act only according to the false vision they concocted.

Our rulers, in other words, are constantly talking down to the people and feeding them Sesame Street versions of reality, only to find themselves plunged into and forced to act inside of the very same fictional kindergarten muppet world they built. This is why everything they do ends up being so stupid all the time. ...

This frank statement all but admits that infection numbers were compiled above all for the purpose of propaganda.

No, it wasn't.
Did the covid response enable vote fraud to steal an election - check.
Did the covid response greatly increase big pharma profits - check.
Did the covid response greatly increase the autocratic powers of leftist government - check.
Did the covid response funding provide enough slop for massive theft by fraud - check.
Has a single politician or bureaucrat been held accountable for the obvious lies and mismanagement - No.

The covid response was not stupid, it worked as intended.

Those old Italians in Milan who died of respiratory problems? Could be the smog.

https://usmortality.substack.com/p/who-admits-excess-deaths

Based on German data, COVID-19 associated deaths were mainly reclassified from other diagnosis categories.

Here’s actual proof of the re-classification. Look at J00-J99 respiratory system deaths, which saw a massive decline in 2020/21.




Looking at all major ICD-10 groups, we can thus easily account for all COVID-19 deaths in the 80% Confidence Interval. In other words, if the pandemic would have never been declared, the existing ICD-19 categories would have not shown any significant increase.

Hence, this shows that COVID-19 deaths are vastly overreported, not underreported in the first place!

https://twitter.com/Inversionism/status/1693674126349656456

@Inversionism
Oh look, I caught the CDC scrubbing another document from the internet that shows they intentionally manipulated the RT-PCR cycle count for those who got the vaccine, to manufacture the narrative that it's a pandemic of the unvaccinated because they were still receiving 40+ cycle count tests. Just a few months later into the fall, they eventually admit false positives are a problem, and they phase out the use of RT-PCR for other tests and assays, which lead to the largest jump in COVID cases that we ever saw. How convenient.

Why does no one talk about RT-PCR fraud anymore? Why are people still trying to argue any of the COVID numbers as if they are legitimate?

Early vaccine efficacy data was predicated on RT-PCR.

Lockdowns, social distancing, etc, were predicated on RT-PCR.

Vaccine mandates were predicated on RT-PCR.

The foundation of the entire psyop relies on this one test, which was completely misused intentionally, per the inventor Kary Mullis. He criticized Fauci heavily for the same practices during AIDS, but no one cared. Fauci destroyed his career and sent him into obscurity for speaking truth, just like all the rest.

This paper also proves the entire pandemic was a fraud, so quit arguing their contrived data. They used these tests to capture deaths from the vaccine and cover it up. They classified people as unvaccinated until they had every shot + 2 weeks, to which they then used high cycle RT-PCR to manufacture a positive. Once they were considered vaccinated, down to 28 cycle count, and then not positive.

Thus reality was manufactured. Everything destroyed in it's wake.

Ambulance Call Volumes Contradict the COVID-19 Narrative
Emergency Medical Service Activity Dropped in 2020, Increased in 2021-2022 ...

Remember, COVID-19 was presumably killing and maiming massive numbers of Canadians in 2020. This is when the virus was new, the population was supposedly immunologically naïve, and the most vulnerable were still among us. Then came the ‘vaccines’ in early 2021 that public messaging guaranteed would prevent people from getting COVID-19 and transmitting SARS-CoV-2. The messaging then morphed to try to convince people that the goal all along was to merely dampen the severity of COVID-19. Regardless of the goalposts being moved, public health officials were clear that they had found an almost perfectly safe and effective way to combat COVID-19-induced deaths and serious illnesses so life could return to the new normal. If this storyline were true, one would hypothesize this would show up as a massive increase in the call volumes for ambulances in 2020, followed by a return to pre-2020 numbers in 2021 and beyond. ...

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-12453329/99-PERCENT-Covid-deaths-not-caused-virus-official-data.html

Nearly 99 percent of 'Covid deaths' reported by the CDC each week are not primarily caused by the virus, official data shows.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Covid dashboard shows just 1.7 percent of the 324 Covid deaths registered in the week ending August 19 had the coronavirus as the primary cause of death.

The figures suggest just a handful of American lives are being lost directly to the virus each week. For comparison, the virus was behind one in three 'Covid deaths' at America's pandemic peak in 2021.

The CDC lied then, and they are lying now.

The CDC is a criminal organization which exists now to protect and profit Pfizer, and to be used to manipulate elections so that democracy is defeated in America.

And Pfizer is at the same price (around $37) it was back in late 1998.

It at least doubled in share price during the pandemic and peaked around $60; I wonder who made a lot of money selling it after the pandemic run up.

I think most people in most "professional professions" just accept what they are told is true, without explanation.
