As for the nocebo effect, I listened to two separate testimonies from paramedics here in Canada who stated that during covid they were much less busy than normal, but they did get calls from healthy people in their 30s and 40s who had covid and were in a state of panic thinking they were going to die. They literally would have cold symptoms. Common sense went right out the window in the mass panic.
Watching this unfold from the remote west coast of South America, in a nation with ICUs for the fee-paying and having to beg our neighbour nation for road tankers of oxygen, and revisiting the body language of our then President (later self-compromised by getting an advance go at an undercover dose of the "vaccine"), it's not difficult to find serious levels of theatricality in the first year's presentation.
The second year ended worse, with (1) many doses still in the bottle and (2) a genius Health Minister ordering a lockout from ALL enclosed spaces (banks, council offices, ...) of those without an uptodate vax card.
We lost a few, sworn it were the covid, but the social atmosphere was drenched in panic. The Military were on hand at checkpoints, "helping the police to manage the quarantine". South Americans are not as excitable as Europeans, so it all went smoothly. Apart from a few illegal parties, some of them in Police Stations. The real kicker was when Provincials had enough of being locked up in the capital and made their way home. Some walked the 1000km to Piura in the North.
My contribution, with my good native wife, was to ignore the vaccinations & put up with the inconveniences. It appears that the extended family of several hundred were deeply concerned about our unvaccinated survival chances. We found out yesterday at a get-together. Our rebellion and survival may serve to educate more than several hundred about the value of the "cure".
Me, I was worried that some of the lovely traditions and mutuality of aboriginal america may have been damaged by the restrictions. Luckily, fortunately, it seems: No.
My various responses to articles like this include express gratitude and, hopefully, serve as hooks on which others downstream may wish to hang their own sentiments.
The best adapted respiratory virus, the one the most successful at reproduction, is one that is stealthy and leaves its host mobile. That means symptoms so mild as to go unnoticed or barely noticed and leaving the host Human, mobile. SARS CoV 2 fitted that bill. It is why the Omicron variant, even milder, has replaced the original strain. It was/is only serious in the elderly and moribund or immune suppressed who are not much mobile anyway so this does not interfere with the strategy of the virus. Early 2019 cases would have been dismissed as mild Colds. Why did deaths suddenly peak? Because the ‘Prime Directive’ of contagion control was ignored: Do not mix infectious people with non-infected people. This is why before we got so smart, there were isolation hospitals out in big fields far from habitation dealing only with infectious diseases. So what happened? Once serious CoVid cases were identified, they were admitted into hospitals to infect the general hospital population and staff. This made hospitals incubators and centres of disease spread, exposing the most vulnerable to a virus of no threat to healthy, fit people. Better yet, to clear beds for the anticipated deluge of ‘cases’, elderly patients were transferred to care homes without checking if they were infectious: once seeded with just one infectious person, they became killing grounds into which ever more elderly were decanted. Ventilators can only rest fatigued respiratory muscles, they cannot repair lung surface tissue damage. Patients in this latter condition will die anyway; ventilating them probably hastened the inevitable in some cases. As for drug treatments... if they are successful for the CoV 2 coronavirus why are they not successful against other respiratory virus which operate in the same fashion, penetrating mucous cells to reproduce? CoV 2 was better at this than its other family members in which case if the treatments could stop it, it relatives would be a pushover. I think everyone has become distracted by the initial claim that it was a ‘novel’ virus. It isn’t: just a variation of the other coronaviruses in circulation. Just Another Coronavirus. It should be JAC-19.
The arguments made here are compelling. I, too, believe that "CV" was around far longer than we have been sold. I also have seen enough evidence that has convinced me that the hospital protocols are what have killed people. Several hospitals have admitted as much, in a fashion to not specifically reference that fact ( ie recent hospital admin referring to deaths "from" CV versus "with"). Please continue the information gathering, Sir!
Somewhere in this story I should have mentioned the role Remdesevir played in inflating these early deaths. I guess I can go back and edit it.

The brutal intubation of elderly people was their death sentence.
Yup. Exactly.

The word I was looking for was "iatrogenic"...
Excellent analysis, Bill.
Good mental floss for sure!

What would it take, the smoking gun to prove the theory of earlier release or spread?
