A real look at Covid-19

 

For a real look at Covid-19 and how serious it is, see here.

We read: "A recent article in The Guardian discussing France’s vaccine passport unconsciously provides the perfect example. It describes the Great Plague that struck Marseille in 1720 (the final contortion of the Black Death), noting that it 'kill[ed] more than half of the city’s population.'

'[S]truggl[ing] to find a delicate balance between halting the spread of the disease and damaging vital commerce,' the city authorities, The Guardian tells us, ordered travelers 'to carry a ‘bill of health’ and ships arriving at the Mediterranean port underwent a 40-day cordon sanitaire or quarantine.'

'Three hundred years on,' The Guardian seriously intones, 'President Emmanuel Macron is walking an equally tricky tightrope . . .' Hopefully, you spotted the glaring problem with this comparison. In 1720, the Great Plague in Marseille killed more than half the city’s population.

We have gotten to the point in this 'pandemic' where government leaders and a worryingly high percentage of the American people are acting like COVID is a crisis on par with Marseille’s Great Plague. We have been buried in facts, figures, mountains of data, constantly shifting information, misinformation, and more. We are relentlessly briefed by the media about rising infection rates or the current capacity of local ICUs.

But cut through it all and ask — how many Americans are dying? According to Johns Hopkins, the fatality rate of COVID in the United States is 1.7 percent, which means that 98.3 percent survive. That takes into account all deaths, including people who had underlying conditions and the elderly. Excluding those who are obviously high-risk, the survival rate is close to 100 percent."

In any dictatorship, the State must wage a constant war against truth while employing the media to squash any dissent from its narrative and demanding total conformity.  It was Joseph Goebbels who wrote:

"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State."

This is why Big Tech (Facebook,  Twitter etc) will not permit any dissent from the lying narrative which insists we are in a deadly pandemic which requires Americans to forfeit their Constitutional freedoms.
