China’s lesson is: if you don’t test (or report data) you don’t have covid!

Let’s go Brandon

Gee whiz, the Amish have had even better results than Florida with no outside help or lockdowns or many vaccinations. They got to go to weddings and comfort the sick and dying. They shared drinking cups at communion and are 90% herd immunity plus no CoVid tests. What a concept in the survival of the smartest.

The scatter plots showing zero relationship between the Oxford Stringency Index and any pandemic-related measure you'd care to name show the truth of Alex's statements here. And this is the difference between DeSantis and almost all other US governors or world leaders for that matter. He actually read the science, believed it and acted on it by ending lockdowns. How few other people showed such leadership has been a hard lesson about people.

A review of the charts above reminds me of what a waitress told my wife and I early in the epidemic when she did not wear a mask. She Said" Let's just catch the virus and get it over with". Seems like the charts are saying your going to catch it anyway, why lockdown and vax.

Virus gonna virus and 'government strategies have made NO DIFFERENCE to the spread of this highly contagious but only moderately dangerous respiratory disease'. My panic prone friends and family are so sick of me pointing this out. As Alex is aware, accurate data is hard to refute. Life goes on which is why I whistle my way through grocery stores.

This is what I thought was going to happen early on before all the talk of the magic vaccines. Look at history with virus & pandemics. Heretofore, nothing humans ever did stopped a virus from running it's course. The only thing lockdowns would do was prolong the time this virus would be with us.

Of course China is lying.

Where there is a greater concentration of old people & fat people, there are a greater number of D deficient people.

Where there are a bunch of folks on ace inhibitors for blood pressure there are a greater number of zinc deficient people.

Why can't the medical people in leadership figure this out? Maybe they have & want to see folks get sick. Sick is where the money is in medicine afterall.

If you wish to die from COVID, whether you are vaxxed or not, make sure you are D &/or zinc deficient.

The Australia graph provides all the evidence we need to confirm that governance by Karen is bad for everyone's health. COVID provided them another temperance movement to implement another form of prohibition. Just like the 1920's prohibition it was never about health... it was about control. And just like the lessons learned from the mistakes of prohibition... crime, Great Depression, etc... we are going to have another similar lesson soon.

But who's going to take the place of the unvaxxed as a scapegoat if we realize the virus like the emperors using it are not actually wearing new clothes.

I'm weary. Let's just live.

They need to just admit that everything they have done in regards to the virus has been an abject failure!

The China Data reminds me of the VAERS. Don't report it.... it didn't happen! Who believes the China data. Let me adjust that. WHO believes the China data (But know one else). The U. S. data isn't that much better. Use a PCR test that produces massive numbers of false positives when cycled 40 times like most U. S. Labs do. Then have the CDC direct doctors to classify deaths as Covid if some symptoms are present or you think it might be Covid even though no positive test exists. Then pay them a bonus for hospitalizing patients, intubating in ICU and finally for certifying them dead from Covid. I don't believe the China data because they wanted to cover it up nor the U. S. data since the Democrats and Deep State successfully invented a pandemic.

I dunno, Alex...do you really believe stats from China are accurate?

It's not like the CCP has been particularly transparent.

That said, it's pretty damned interesting to see other stats.

Thanks for your work--and especially your impressive skill to translate it.

Now, if only more people would listen!

Brandon loves China. Who doesn't love the guy that supports you. He is still getting money from the crack head son

If you believe the China stats, then I’ve got a bridge to sell you. Meanwhile, India’s Uttar Predesh and several other states went big-time with Ivermectin and crushed that spike in cases.

Someone with more tech skills than I have needs to create a "match game" version of this data that just shows the graphs and % stats without identifying what country they are from, paired with a list of countries and a description / rating of the severity of their restrictions.

Let users guess which countries match each of the graphs / stats. Then reveal the results on the next page, show which countries did best and which worst.

Would be very eye opening for many.

Ivermectin stopped India's slide into Covid Coma; All by one Indian State opted for Ivermectin, the lone state accounts for majority of vaccinations and COVID cases. So the Indian chart reflects widespread use of Ivermectin!! Did I miss Alex saying it was Ivermectin??
