I should also note that the results of the "Red Cross antibody study" that I've cited a million times in my articles found that 2.03 percent of blood donors in 3 states (CA, WA and OR) who gave blood Dec. 13-16, 2019 tested positive for Covid antibodies.
Extrapolated to the U.S. population, that would equate to about 7.4 million Covid cases. And those positive blood donors didn't all get Covid the day before they gave blood. Presumably, most if not all 39 of these blood donors had antibodies in their blood in November 2019 if not earlier.
I still wish the CDC would have tested some tranches of archived Red Cross blood from the six Southern states where ILI cases were already "severe" and "widespread" by the end of November 2019.
The CDC only did ONE antibody study of archived blood ... and then they didn't publish the results from this study until Nov. 30, 2020 - almost a year after those people gave blood. That's interesting to me as well.
Here’s one story I wrote on this topic in November 2022. People better be sitting down when they read the number of people I think might have been infected by the date of the lockdowns.
I should also probably note the lag between infection and later "Covid deaths" is 24 days (if memory serves).
That is, people who became infected in, say, early January 2020 would have been dead by late January. That's plenty of time for "excess deaths" pre- "official" Covid to show up in our mortality statistics.
But this spike in deaths didn't show up in these statistics.
In this article, I showed only nine (out of 1.34 million) active duty military died from Covid in the first 13 months of the pandemic. This would be a mortality rate of 0.067 percent or 1-in-149,000 active duty military. Of course, I suspect at least 60 percent of these alleged “Covid” deaths shouldn’t be labeled “Covid deaths.”
The military, of course, consists largely of healthy young and middle-aged people, who face no real mortality risk from Covid - today or in March 2020. (The vaccine is a risk of a different color).
Unfortunately there’s a tick in human nature that attracts many people to doom. They secretly love it. They want to believe in a killer virus. Fauci & Co put humanity on a thrill ride. Whoo-hoo! Thar be spiky little monsters afoot!
How do I know people are that weird? Decades of experience dealing with people in management and retail businesses. Too vague?
Here’s a true story told to me by my physician friend. He’s a family doc. This story predates Covid. Every year in the fall patients with stuffy noses would overwhelm his office utterly convinced they had the flu.
Funny thing though. Most did not. He’d confirm this in minutes via nasal swab test. Now, logically you’d think a person scared they might have influenza would breathe a sigh of relief hearing they just have a bad cold.
But you’d be wrong.
Six out of ten would be disappointed. Some resorted to arguing with the doc insisting the test was wrong! A few storming out cursing.
Let that little slice of behavioral heaven sink in.
I have many other examples. Thus on Friday 13, March 2020 when America officially declared Covid a national emergency and the fear engine became turbocharged I knew the game.
I knew the neuroticism would be off the charts. That’s not to say people weren’t getting sick. The “whatever you want to call it” caught up with me Nov 2021.
A flu-ish thing with some pretty bizzare inflammatory symptoms that cutoff my sense of smell and taste for over an entire year.
Still, my unvaxxed self wasn’t about to go to murder central, aka: the hospital, to line Fauci’s Remdesivir pocketbook and fulfill Ezekiel Emmanuel’s wet dream of extinguishment by 75.
Nope. I like being a thorn in their sides too much.
But lots of my toilet paper hoarding, sanitizer bathing, convinced they gonna die! contemporaries seem to love the scamdemic thrill ride and to this day seem convinced they dodged a bullet Whew!
Besides they heard about that person who was the neighbor of that guy that was the relative of a coworker that heard from his cousin who heard it from his boss about that guy that died. Died! Of covid. Yikes! That was close.
I tried to use the cohort of "athletes" to support my case of what the "real" IFR for Covid is for healthy people 14 to 39. I used athletes because when they (allegedly) die from Covid it's "news." But I think the same IFR (0 percent) would apply to healthy non-athletes. For example, it would apply to high school and college students who are on the debate team, in the drama program or band program. It would also apply to students who just go home after school and surf the Internet.
You can't find or identify a cohort of healthy young adults where the IFR from Covid is more than probably 0.02 or 0.03 percent.
I can only speak for what happened in Florida. The fact that the flu had ENTIRELY disappeared off the books (poof!...gone) for at least a year is enough for me to conclude that whatever we're dealing with has all of the ramifications of a seasonal flu bug. Older folks, people with compromised immune systems and those with morbidities were at risk. Nothing novel about that. The media drove the hysteria at the behest of its handlers. We were played. Life's a gamble. Best to just get on with it. I don’t need a babysitter.
COVID spread most likely began in September. That’s when Trump started what was later named Operation Warp Speed. No noticeable change in death rates or anything until the Covid interventions began harming people.
The Diamond Princess outbreak alone is sufficient enough to blow up the narrative. The IFR was 0.0% among the crew and 2.5% among the passengers. Compare that to:
An outbreak of human coronavirus OC43 in a long-term care facility, the IFR was 0.0% among the staff and 8.4% among the residents: https://doi.org/10.1155/2006/152612
Outbreak Associated with Human Coronavirus NL63 in a Long-Term Care Facility, no cases among the staff, IFR was 15% among the residents: https://doi.org/10.3201/eid2410.180862
Even when you take into account that long-term care residents tend to be more elderly and more frail than cruise passengers, it should still have been obvious from the very beginning that this thing was in the same ballpark as the other common coronaviruses that we know of. Should have been the end of the story.
You often ask “how are so many institutions “captured” at the moment”? Maybe the true reason is they were all in on it. This is the biggest crime ever committed against humanity. The most bone crushing fact of all would be how this is being seen through the eyes and minds of Generation Z.
You have kids, right? I don't. About 15 years ago, I had a coworker who casually told me she had to call the doctor to get an antibiotics prescription because her 6 year old daughter had a cold. My point is that it's common for people to get an antibiotics Rx when they have a cold or sinus infection they can't get over. I had pneumonia about 40 years ago when I was 10. The doc gave me a steroid shot and that nasty pink amoxicillin. The standard of care for pneumonia is steroids and antibiotics. All of that stopped in March 2020. Remember them saying "antibiotics doesn't cure viral pneumonia"? I do.
It wasn't viral pneumonia, it was a secondary bacterial infection. Even if it was 'viral pneumonia', what harm would antibiotics have been? Bacterial pneumonia is deadly when untreated. The massive dropoff in antibiotics prescriptions in March 2020 has been documented. I don't remember where I read it. The other statistic I remember from my spreadsheets of AL hospital and state covid data. 1 in 10 covid cases were hospitalized and 1 in 10 of the hospitalized died. It's possible that 1 big hospital or many small hospitals weren't reporting or the missing one is from people dying in nursing homes. The simple fact is that people in nursing homes and hospitals weren't being properly cared for during most of 2020 and 2021.
That was the point of the study by Jay Battacharya and John Ioannidis in early 2020, that the IFR was much lower because the number of actual infections have been wildly underestimated. Dr. Battacharya's experience with the fallout of their study is pretty interesting. https://disinformationchronicle.substack.com/p/dr-jay-bhattacharya-reveals-stanford
think of how much evil you believe resides in our government and then multiply that by easily 100 and you might just start to approach the amount of evil we really have. Power attracts corrupt individuals and then they become even worse once they get it
Bear in mind that given that extent to which data points from governments has been manipulated, obscured or falsified, it seems highly unlikely that all-cause mortality is reliable.
As for the scary covid death curves, ever wonder why these resemble SIR model outputs?
Well done again Mr. Rice. I was in Las Vegas Christmas of 2019. Walked everywhere for days. I'm not a gambler but went to witness the lunacy with my Canadian girlfriend. She had never been to Vegas. Anyway, I got sick. Not just any sick. A weird sick. I had an almost constant cough and my lungs hurt for a week. Otherwise, I just kept going. Now, after just finishing this book, published in 2020, the thought occurred to me, what if what was killing people disproportionately in the US, was increased levels of electromagnetic poisoning resulting from the rollout of 5G? Not unlike what Arthur Firstenberg reveals has happened six times before beginning in 1889? We thought it was Spanish Flu, Asian Flu, Hong Kong Flu, etc. In hindsight, I'm starting to wonder about all these sudden deaths at concerts. I wonder if it's healthy to be around thousands of people when we all have these microwave emitting devices in our pockets. If somebody brought a EMF measurement meter to a Taylor Swift concert, they would be doing us all a public service to take a few readings.
I think you nailed it with the lack of excess deaths in very early 2020 and the real cause of deaths - the hospital and nursing home protocols involving anti-virals, sedatives and ventilators.
The hospitals were largely empty in 2020. Remember all the choreographed dancing nurses videos? Who would have time to spend hours making those videos if there was an actual epidemic?
Have you considered the real possibility that there was no "Covid" virus? Was it ever isolated and purified? And I doubt the antibody tests are any more accurate than PCR, which is not a test but a copy machine. Great for cloning but never before used as a diagnostic for disease.
I should also note that the results of the "Red Cross antibody study" that I've cited a million times in my articles found that 2.03 percent of blood donors in 3 states (CA, WA and OR) who gave blood Dec. 13-16, 2019 tested positive for Covid antibodies.
