Last week, I wrote a post, “The Narrative is back” and I linked this X video about a Dem/liberal media spin effort hyping the WHO 3.4% fatality rate for COVID to kick off the pandemic hysteria:
This information is tacked at the end of that post last week:
I wanted to add this bit of information about that video with the hype about the 3.4% fatality rate from the WHO. Timelines matter and this was the spun up hysteria to scare people into complying with all sorts of draconian “social mitigation” policies, including shutting down the economy in March 2020.
Here are a few links to 3.4% fatality stories from early March 2020:
THE WHO ESTIMATED COVID-19 MORTALITY AT 3.4%. THAT DOESN’T TELL THE WHOLE STORY
WHO SAYS CORONAVIRUS DEATH RATE IS 3.4% GLOBALLY, HIGHER THAN PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT
TRUMP DISPUTES WHO’S 3.4 PERCENT GLOBAL DEATH RATE FOR CORONAVIRUS
Here’s a February 27, 2020 story about how China was handling their COVID outbreak:
SEALED IN: CHINESE TRAPPED AT HOME BY CORONAVIRUS FEEL THE STRAIN
There were reports of people in China being literally welded inside their apartments. Here’s an article that says it did happen according to a Chinese paper, but the government decided it was an overreaction:
Were COVID-19 patients in Wuhan welded into their apartments to enforce the lockdown?
Information coming out of China is often hard to verify.
Here’s an article on their zero Covid policy:
WHAT IS CHINA’S ‘ZERO-COVID’ POLICY?
So, for over two years people in China were living under these crazy lockdown policies, but in 2022, a deadly apartment fire in Shanghai led to protests and the government finally started easing some of their restrictions:
HOW A DEADLY APARTMENT FIRE FUELED ANTI-ZERO-COVID PROTESTS ACROSS CHINA: ANALYSIS
I’m adding all this information about China for a reason. The policies that America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and many European countries adopted were social mitigation polices that China started employing in 2019 – after that WHO alarmist 3.4% fatality rate, which was dramatically wrong, was used as the rationale. There was no evidence that any of these Chinese draconian social mitigation policies worked. The actual fatality rate is well under 1%.
Iran temporarily released prisoners due to COVID and then very quickly there were liberals in America proposing that. NJ did release prisoners.
Here’s the March 3, 2020 story about Iran:
CORONAVIRUS: IRAN TEMPORARILY FREES 54,000 PRISONERS TO COMBAT SPREAD
Here’s a March 24, 2020 story:
NEW JERSEY SET TO RELEASE UP TO 1,000 COUNTY JAIL INMATES
Why was America adopting COVID policies from authoritarian regimes with terrible human rights records and also regimes where they routinely cover-up human rights abuses?
Even more disturbing in 2022, the Washington Post had a tech reporter still supporting China’s zero Covid policy and believes the US should adopt that policy:
WAPO’S TAYLOR LORENZ DEFENDS CHINA’S ‘ZERO-COVID’ POLICY WHILE BLAMING US FOR KILLING ‘MILLIONS’ BY REOPENING
The new “zero” hysteria is Net Zero… and I fear the radical policy prescriptions for Net Zero will be even more deadly and draconian than the zero COVID efforts.
I warned about any of these leftist utopian policies that have “zero” in the name before. The China zero COVID policy set the goal to get as close to zero cases of COVID as possible – by isolating people in their homes and even in one city there was a report of people with COVID being welded into their apartments.
In 2020, we were subjected to constant media-driven fear porn, to scare us into complying with all these rules and being emotionally blackmailed that if we didn’t comply we were going to kill those most at risk – “don’t you care about Grandma?” A lot of people lost their jobs, lost their businesses, were ostracized, endured orchestrated public shaming efforts, loved ones died alone in hospitals and nursing home – allowed no visitors.
The US military imposed a mandatory COVID vaccine policy. Here’s an article from Jan 2023:
“Roughly 99% of all active-duty troops received the vaccine. More than 8,400 service members were discharged from the military for refusing to take it. All of those kicked out of military service received at least a “general discharge under honorable conditions,” with others receiving the higher “honorable discharge.” The difference affects medical and other benefits service members receive after leaving the military.”
Here’s the January 10, 2023 DOD press release on the DOD rescinds the COVID Vaccination Mandate
All that turmoil and over 8,000 servicemembers kicked out over vaccines that do not work – they don’t prevent the spread of COVID and they don’t prevent contracting COVID, as promised. There is the Faucian assurances that the vaccines are still vital and also claims that you’ll get a milder cased of COVID and that the vaccines are saving lives… Whatever. It’s important to not forget how the COVID “social mitigation efforts played out – massive political and media fear-mongering, hyping a global crisis, then pushing for the most extreme measures possible.
More is on the way – with a COVID wave starting again, with the “climate crisis” push ramping up and also with the political volatility in America. With Net Zero – the goal is to reduce carbon emissions as close to zero as possible. Part of that effort is to track and monitor every person on earth’s carbon footprint, then force radical lifestyle changes. Just pay close attention to the words Dems, leftist experts/activists and the media use. If you hear the same words and phrases being repeated to spread fear – that’s a signal to be very wary of the information they’re selling. If you hear “zero,” you know it’s another nothingburger, crazy plan.
