Wasn't Covid really a pandemic of propaganda?

Meryl Nass's avatar

It was real. People did die. And it was ALSO hyped up to be much worse than it really was.

That is how they fool you: encourage the "it's real!" people to fight the "It's hyped" people.

They do the same things with "It's the terrain" vs "It's the bug".

Or Lyme disease is an infection. No, it is an autoimmune condition. When Lyme disease is both.

The deep state is always trying to make us fight among ourselves, disagree about dumb stuff, which takes up time and energy and prevents us working together harmoniously against THEM.

Have read the "covid virus" has never been isolated.......so does it really exist, and so were millions of people actually dying of covid?

Rhiannon, Thank you. The 3rd position between: 1) Virus & 2) No-Virus is as you say, "We haven't isolated any Virus. We are feeding a vague 'hypothesis' based only on visible whole body symptoms or potential 'indicators'". If we are truly honest, we say "We don't know, one way or the other." Not knowing is actually the position of: 2) No-Virus researchers. However 'Not-knowing', just feeds the panic of 1) Virus people freaking-out about & trying to avoid living in 'nature', which our inappropriately scaled & psychologically damaging, institutional system, has taught us all to fear.

HOLISTIC SCIENCE Https://sites.google.com/site/indigenecommunity/d-participatory-structure/6-holistic-science Professionally, institutionally bound fake 'scientists' (French 'scier' = 'to-saw or to-cut' as a metaphor for the multiple variegated 'saw-tooth' strike-angles, required for interdisciplinary testing & analysis), worship false 'Reductionist Science' not realizing the infinite scope of significant knowledge at every level, particularly those of intimate observation, first hand.

UNDOING FALSE SCIENCE When people scramble starting with fake 'education' (Latin 'educare' = 'to-lead-forth-from-within') to be a hired part of top-down institutional hierarchy, we lose the scientific ability for individual loving discernment & unbiased scientific assessment of the real world, which we live in.

I strongly believe a 'Gain of Function' Covid virus exists. It feels VERY much like Lyme. Bioweapons aren't viruses and they are making people very ill in a unnatural way.

Rhiannon's avatar

If Gain of Function Covid exists, do you know of a reliable test for it?

Piki's avatar

That is indeed an interesting question, Rhiannon. Here in Belgium we have the VirusBank Platform, headquartered at the Arenberg Accelerator in Leuven. It is a key initiative that develops test and model systems for high-priority virus families, including those with pandemic potential such as coronaviruses./ From the moment I personally read 'pandemic potential' I doubt it is safe and sound...

This is the best explanation I've read in years.

Thanks Meryl for explaining this so well. You can feel horribly sick for YEARS and think you are nuts in the head. It is one of the most gruesome situations to be in.

And a "pandemic" of irrational fear caused by government and their mouthpieces in the media (brought to you by Pfizer). I'm always shocked when I look at the charts for flu cases 2020 to 2021. ZERO cases. And I mean ZERO. This was *always* about "vaccines". Period. It was always about getting the world to start accepting "vaccines" as the only way to get past illnesses. It worked like a charm. But it also galvanized those of us who already didn't take shots to say, "oh hell no, I will NEVER take another shot for as long as I live."

What do you expect from our Godless $62 billion in fines for fraud, Big Pharma? Honesty?

NOooo it's' Iatrogenic Death/ "medicine." AI Overview estimates for annual iatrogenic deaths vary widely, but some studies suggest that in the United States, the number could be between 210,000 and 440,000 deaths per year." Now multiply that by your age and know, the smell of death is all around you!

This should be spread far and wide as should your article Meryl.

I love Jay. One of the first sane voices I heard in 2020. John Ioannidis was also great.

Robert Auld's avatar

This is excellent. You are right, this should be published in the NY Times or similar major outlets. That it is not is a shameful commentary on how far those outlets have fallen.

Roger Kimber, MD's avatar

They (NYT, WSJ) are all captured by the Biomedical Pharma complex which we can say with confidence were/are complicit in the Plandemic & counterproductive (@least from the population’s point of view—not so much the vested interests point of view), consequently they will/would never print this, even as circumspect as this is.

Real pandemic preparedness would involve 1) bunker buster bombs to each & every bio security lab in the world (or maybe a sterilizing thermonuclear device to the bigger ones; 2) sending all the Ralph Barics & Anthony Fauci’s of the world to GITMO or some Antarctic base or better yet, some primitive desert island without electricity and give them Stone Age tools to amuse themselves and cook (& surround the island with alligators similar to Alligator Alcatraz. 3) stockpile repurposed drug to try on any cases that happen to spring up; 4 ) revoke all immunity for vaccines.

No new drugs were needed; there were enough repurposed drugs waiting to be used whose production & distribution could be quickly ramped up to meet the need.

The money saved would be enough to give us World Peace (but then, what would aspiring beauty pageant contenders have as a life goal?

Edmond Pare's avatar

Excellent:

1) "Plandemic" NOT "pandemic". Way past time everyone start calling it what it was.

2) bunker buster bombs - much more effective than 1000s of snipers.

The most important step which can be taken to reduce the risk of pandemics is to ensure, as best as possible, with government support but not manipulation or coercion, that people of all ages* supplement vitamin D3 in sufficient quantities to attain at least the 50 ng/mL circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D which the immune system needs to function properly. Please see the research cited and discussed at: https://vitamindstopscovid.info/00-evi/. Food fortification cannot attain this level, and gives a false impression that eating such foods is sufficient for good health: https://vitamindstopscovid.info/00-evi/#07-fortif.

This is also the most important step, for women of childbearing age, for reducing the risk of preeclampsia and pre-term birth and for reducing the risk of mental retardation, schizophrenia, ADHD and autism in the child: https://vitamindstopscovid.info/00-evi/#3.2.

This is also the most important step, for adults, for reducing the risk of Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, multiple system atrophy dementia with Lewy bodies and other forms of neurodegeneration: https://vitamindstopscovid.info/00-evi/#3.3.

Neither vitamin D3 cholecalciferol nor 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 calcifediol (AKA "calcidiol") function as hormones. They are not signaling molecules. (A hormone - the agent of endocrine signaling - is a long-distance, blood-borne signaling molecule by which an organ, such as the kidneys, can control the level of the hormone in the bloodstream and so affect the behavior of one or more types of cell anywhere in the body.)

About 1/4 of ingested or ultraviolet B produced vitamin D3 is hydroxylated, primarily in the liver, to become the circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D which is measured in "vitamin D" blood tests. This is needed by the kidneys and by many types of cell all over the body, including many types of immune cell.

The kidneys use it to produce, by a further hydroxylation on the number 1 carbon, calcitriol (1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D) which goes into circulation and functions as a hormone. This very low level of calcitriol, ca. 0.05 to 0.1 ng/mL, is maintained by the kidneys as part of a larger feedback network which also involves osteocytes (cells in the bone) and the parathyroid gland to regulate calcium-phosphate-bone metabolism. All medical professions know this well.

Most medical professionals and many vitamin D researchers do not understand how the immune system uses these compounds, so they tend to assume that vitamin D3 supplementation boosts the hydroxyvitamin D level (which it does) and that this boosts the level of circulating, hormonal, calcitriol. This only occurs to a modest extent. They tend to mistakenly think that this boosted level of circulating calcitriol somehow "boosts the immune system", but this is not the case.

Many types of immune cell rely on a good supply of 25-hydroxyvitamin D in their cytosol, via diffusion from the bloodstream and through the cell membrane, to supply raw material to be consumed when their 25-hydroxyvitamin D to calcitriol intracrine signaling system is activated by the cell detecting a particular condition, which is specific to each cell-type. For a description of this, please see: https://vitamindstopscovid.info/00-evi/#02-compounds and, in more detail: https://vitamindstopscovid.info/02-intracrine/. The system converts the 25-hydroxyvitamin D into calcitriol within the cell, where it alters gene expression and so protein synthesis, enabling the individual call to alter its behavior in response to the detected condition.

This intracrine signaling system is crucial to the ability of each individual cell to respond to its changing conditions. This system, and the related paracrine signaling system (to nearby cells, often of different types) is not substantially affected by and does not substantially affect, the very low level of circulating calcitriol. The intracellular produced calcitriol functions not as a hormone, but as an intracrine or paracrine agent.

There's very little vitamin D in food of any kind, including that which is fortified with vitamin D3 or the less effective vitamin D2 ergocalciferol. Multivitamin tablets contain a small fraction of the 125 micrograms or so which average weight adults need each day, on average, to be healthy. This is a gram every 22 years - and pharma-grade vitamin D3 costs about USD$2.50 a gram ex-factory.

UV-B light can produce sufficient vitamin D3 for full health, by breaking a bond in one of the carbon rings within 7-dehydrocholesterol. This UV-B light is only available to most people in sufficient quantities in the middle of cloud-free summer days, without glass, clothing or sunscreen intervening. Those with dark skin need a lot more UV-B exposure than those with white skin to produce any given amount of vitamin D3. This is the cause of many of the health disparities suffered by people with dark skin, especially when they live far from the equator.

All UV-B skin exposure damages DNA and so raises the risk of skin cancer. The only practical, safe, way of being healthy is proper vitamin D3 supplementation with quantities according to body weight and obesity status. The recommendations from New Jersey based Professor of Medicine Sunil Wimalawansa described at https://vitamindstopscovid.info/00-evi/#00-how-much are in several of his articles, including this one co-written by professors of medicine and pediatrics: "Integrating Endocrine, Genomic, and Extra-Skeletal Benefits of Vitamin D into National and Regional Clinical Guidelines" Sunil J. Wimalawansa, Scott T. Weiss and Bruce W. Hollis, Nutrients 2024-11-20, https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/16/22/3969.

For 70 kg (154 lb) body weight, without obesity, 125 micrograms a day, on average, of vitamin D3 is a good quantity. This is also known as 5000 International Units. This is 5 or more times what governments and many doctors consider necessary - but they are only aiming to attain the 20 ng/mL or so level of circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D which the kidneys need to play their role in regulating calcium, phosphate and bone metabolism.

This "5000 IU a day" figure sounds high, but it is 1/8000th of a gram. This is a gram every 22 years. Pharma-grade vitamin D3 costs about USD$2.50 a gram ex-factory.

This takes several months to raise 25-hydroxyvitamin D from typical unsupplemented levels of 5 to 25 ng/mL to the 50 ng/mL (125 nmol/L = 1 part in 20,000,000 by mass) level immune cells need to function properly. 1 milligram of calcifediol, as a single oral dose for an average weight adult, raises the 25-hydroxyvitamin D level safely over 50 ng/mL in about 4 hours: See the fully discovered (mid-2020), but never widely used, early treatment protocol which saved the lives of hospitalised COVID-19 patients with only about half a milligram of calcifediol: Castillo et al. 2020 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0960076020302764 - see also vitamindstopscovid.info/00-evi/#4.6 and https:// vitamindstopscovid.info/00-evi/#4.7. Calcifediol _is_ 25-hydroxyvitamin D. It is more easily absorbed than vitamin D3 (having two hydroxyl groups rather than one) and goes straight into circulation, with no need for hydroxylation in the liver.

Many people cannot imagine that a well-known vitamin is so important to the immune system. "Its too simple - how can it be true?" is the most common response Prof. Wimalawansa has received from doctors in his three decades of vitamin D research and advocacy. It is simple and it is true.

* Infants substantially breast-fed from 25-hydroxyvitamin D replete mothers do not need supplemental vitamin D3 or UV-B skin exposure to produce it. UV-B exposure at an early age can generate damaged cells which the immune system then recognises as self, leading to a lifelong reduction in immune responses to pre-cancerous cells caused by later UV-B exposure.

Wasn't the definition of a pandemic watered down back in 2011 by the WHO to make it easier to declare a pandemic? In other words, any virus will do, just hype it.

Steve  Mitzner's avatar

YES!... As was the definition of a Woman as in sports or bathroom privileges! Sick Godless people have sick Godless ways! I.e., corrupting the language is Satan's way of debauching the world, to win and own more souls, for Hell!

Jay Bhattacharya always speaks well and, in this case. writes well. A voice of reason in an ecosystem of emotively breathless, gaslighting panic-merchants who are also self-serving wealth-extracting rentiers.

MSB's avatar

You write incredibly well too. I mean that one sentence, "A voice of reason in an ecosystem of emotively breathless, gaslighting panic-merchants who are also self-serving wealth-extracting rentiers" encapsulates the sad truth of our times. I would like to borrow it, and I hope others do too.

In order to MAHA the natural immune system needs to be enhanced by nutritious unprocessed food. Our government should focus on regenerating and restoring the soil...eliminating pesticides that destroy the organisms in the soil, which provide nutrients to growing plants. Healthy soil equates to healthier people. Processed foods, allergenic foods, alcohol, drugs, chemicals in personal care products, drugs, vaccines, etc. break down the natural Immune System.

MSB's avatar

The WHO, whom I call WDO or World Disease Organisation, should do the same. Otherwise, none of these agencies should have the term "public health" associated with them.

"Every step of this agenda is fraught with risk and danger." not to mention stupidity guided by insanity. It's the same entrenched Rockefeller disease cultivation and symptom guided drug assault for profit model.

A pursuit of truth should be non-partisan and open to all possibilities. We had the opposite during the Covid era. It seems like things have still not improved that much. Very unscientific.

Steve  Mitzner's avatar

Or as John 8:31 told us!... "So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, 32 and you will know, The Truth Will Set You Free.”

Our $62 billion in fraud fines Big Pharma's mission statement is, "If we can B.S. and scare the sheeple, we can own them"!

Thank you again Meryl, for sharing this sensible article.

I hesitated after reading "The old one [pandemic playbook] failed to cope with Covid and may even have caused it."

Shoot me but who still believes in coping with pandemics, covid and a world playbook, they must have been living under a rock. By now it's clear enough for us that Big Pharma - the owning billionaires - are so powerful that they have the UN-NATO-CIA-WHO-Gavi-EU-blob ànd their MSM creating "pandemic" fearporn, to sell and coerce "vaccines" like nowadays the worldwide mRNA poison pushing. All payed by ourselves from our costly insurance and taxpayers' money. All profits for the billionaires. There is no single doubt in my mind that the threeletter organizations mentioned above staged and faked it all.

In Africa of all places there was no covid. In spite of the worldwide PCR false-positive testing scam. And in spite of Africa's very poor living conditions. In the West we have them to thank for the food poisoning. A job well done. Time to wake up, with a little help from true heroes like you Meryl.

I was inactive physically and consuming candy, ice cream, home made sweets.Then diagnosed as diabetes 2 animist use medicine for life. I decline the medicine and quit sugar, became active physically ate a more healthy diet. No more type two diabetes and I am not supporting big Pharma or the Rockefeller dynasty.
