Another Covid Rant

Normally I use this blog as means to get something off my chest. Of late there have been a few and as a result I have contributed to this blog more frequently than typical in the past. This morning I worked on a project of interest and did not check my usual sources of news and information until after lunch, a time I usually start to relax. But then a news item caught my eye. One that meshed with a couple of answers I had made recently to Quora. So, I fired up my word processor and within short order came out the following. If I do anything further with it time will tell. Note that I edited the original post a couple of days later as I reflected on trying to find the best way to say what I did.

 

On March 31^st, the Canadian Press reported that “there was a total of just 66 confirmed cases” for influenza in Canada when normally by this time there would have been about 43,000 confirmed cases. I find this interesting but not surprising. The reason I am not surprised is it is just further confirmation that the issue that we have not dealt with is that the “test” for SARS-CoV-2 does not work as advertised.

First, a quick overview as to what this “test” is. It is a method to take a piece of RNA, convert it into DNA and then replicate until there are enough copies to do some evaluation with. The process relies on using pieces of protein building blocks called “primers” that are supposed to be unique to the RNA we want to evaluate, and pieces called “probes” that react to light by fluorescing which then can be detected using a photometer. These pieces are used to build each new copy of DNA. A single strand of RNA will produce 34.36 billion copies of DNA after 35 replication cycles. Thus, if you repeat the process long enough you will always get a “positive” result (enough fluorescence to be detected) even if only one piece was in the initial sample regardless of where it came from, including contamination. Assuming too that the “primer” used really is unique to the target virus RNA. That unfortunately has not been proven unequivocally. There is far too much uncertainty in the process for it to be considered reliable, yet it is being used indiscriminately.

Ah, you say, but the social distancing and the requirement to wear masks is responsible! Unfortunately, facts get in the way. The flu viruses are about the same size (80 to 120 nanometres) as the SARS-CoV-2 virus (50-140 nanometres). Keep in mind that a N95 mask will filter out particles 300 nanometres or larger. If masks work at all, then they should work just as well for both viruses. And there is no evidence that they work against any virus, especially SARS-CoV-2. A quick check is to locate reported case and death data forCovid-19. There are none that show any correlation at all with the imposition of mask! There is no correlation with lock downs either! Neither has suppressed anything! And none of the other measures forced on us have had any positive impact.

I have no doubt that the SARS-CoV-2 virus exists. The fact we had an outbreak last spring at a time when the annual flu season was almost done was proof of that. The real problem is that we have tried, thanks to the ineptitude of health officials and supported by politicians, techniques that were never used previously nor shown to work yet are like using a sledgehammer to kill a mosquito. Too extreme for the target with the victims not being the mosquito but us. We are collateral damage who have been seriously beaten and bloodied by people who should have known better. People who are supposed to be compassionate. People who are supposed to be knowledgeable in science.

Right from the very start rather than the correct action for the moment being implemented it has been the exact opposite. When data started being gathered that pointedly showed the new virus variant was not the scourge it was first made out to be, what happened? With rare exception the powers that be doubled down on the draconian measures!

This time last year there were two large ships, the DiamondPrincess cruise ship, and the US aircraft carrier Theodore Roosevelt, where outbreaks took place. Both ships were put into quarantine. All onboard had no means to escape, “social distance” from one another or use masks. Almost all on both ships were tested using the RT-PCR test, the one still being dominantly used. Out of a total of 8,490 people on those 2 ships 1,890 (22%) tested “positive” yet only 1000 (11.8%) experienced symptoms! Of those that tested “positive” 47% did not get symptoms so were either asymptomatic, false positives or a combination of the two. Yes, you read that tight, 47%, almost half! And a total of 15 (0.18%) died, all over the age of 50 with most over 70 in age. Were you aware of this? While available at sites such as the Centre for Disease Control in the US and in isolated technical journals, most media never reported these numbers. This was the start of the good evidence to show lockdowns, forced masking and focusing on “cases” do not work. Evidence being ignored or suppressed to our detriment.

We have a legislature for a reason, and that is to debate things like this to set the rules the bureaucrats then follow. But they have not done their job. But then again it was these same people who originally passed the draconian quarantine laws that blatantly go against our basic rights and freedoms as set out in our constitution. It is these same laws that unelected bureaucrats are abusing by going power mad falling over themselves coming up with nonsensical and irrational “rules”, none of which have any scientific support. Many of whom are medical “professionals” that took an oath to “do no harm”!

As a result, we are being held hostage by the very people we elected or trusted to represent out best interests. And they are unwilling to admit to the ever growing list of mistakes they had made! To make matters worse there are now “vaccines” for which we have no idea what the health risks are nor the effectiveness. Note that the ships cited above show the human immune system has an effectiveness of about 88% at a time many of the “vaccines” are saidto be 90% effective! Yet we are all expected to be guinea pigs. Even if you take the vaccine can you now shed the mask and return to normal? No. That right there tells the real story. Our faith in government is being taken advantage of. Similarly, our trust in the media. The real virus is this corruption that now permeates our society. This madness must stop very soon because if it does not the harm done will become irreversible at the detriment to all of us.
