Mortifying response to COVID-19

 Authorities have spent a year:

• ignoring effective treatments (e.g. Vitamin D, Ivermectin)
• imposing catastrophically harmful, protracted lockdowns
• ruining people’s immune systems (via stress, loneliness, lack of sun, etc)

Whilst doing little in terms of expanding hospital capacity.

And whilst enriching the billionaires, as unemployment grows. 

Oh and now... getting billions of people - including those in countries almost completely unaffected by the virus - to undergo an experimental medical procedure, that is proven neither safe or effective.

It’s all mortifying.

They don't really hate Trump

These ‘liberal’ talking heads we see decrying Trump don’t actually hate him. For them, and the corporatocracy they serve, he has been the greatest gift. 

He’s enabled them to market themselves as the good guys; the ‘saviours of democracy’ etc.

He’s been extremely useful as justification for yet more surveillance and more cracking down on all dissent.

He’s been great for liberal TV ratings.

He’s cut corporate tax and mostly served the interests of the military-industrial complex.

He’s overseen a further rise in corporate power.

Heads in the sand

Why are we going infertile? Why do we have an epidemic of various chronic diseases and disorders? Why are these not THE questions of our time? Are we just going to keep our heads in the sand as we go extinct? Why are we barely interested in understanding why many countries have had high Covid spread with barely any impact? Why don't we want to learn? Is it just down to the power and influence of the various industries that are likely most responsible for this harm? They have control over our land, our bodies, our minds? Is there a collective cognitive dissonance? Do we actually want to save ourselves? Are we now too addicted to the unhealthy lifestyles that have been imposed on us? Have we given up on any hope that humanity is good and can live responsibly in harmony with nature? Is there a fundamental problem with our civilization? Are we reductionistic, when we need to be holistic? Should we show some humility, and learn from ancient cultures and indigenous people? 

Will this period be remembered as the real 'dark ages'?

FINALLY, one year into a pandemic, is some progress being made in regards to Vitamin D? Read this. 

It is abundantly clear from the research that a science-based response to a new virus (and to the general crisis in human health that predates Covid) would involve a big effort to ensure that everyone has optimum levels of Vitamin D. Decades of science showing us how to keep a well-functioning immune system has been ignored. And what the hell is there to lose! It would be relatively easy to do, and cheap as chips.

Instead, we’ve had a year of compromising everyone’s immune system, via stress, loneliness, depression, comfort-eating, lack of exercise, lack of nature, lack of physical contact, lack of biodiversity, and... lack of sun/Vitamin D. (Oh and mandatory mask-wearing for long periods of time, which let’s face it, is effectively like wearing a used hanky on your face).

What a nightmare. How many more people are susceptible to all diseases, including Covid, as a result? Impossible to know.

Is what happened with Vitamin D indicitive of what generally happens in 21st century 'science'? That which threatens industry interests gets no funding? And the research that is done, gets suppressed by industry-captured media and regulatory bodies?

Profit over people, as ever. Humans cannot survive without big pharma and their experimental, unsafe, possibly-ineffective vaccines! 

If humanity does survive the coming centuries, which I think our response to Covid has demonstrated is unlikelier than ever, as we continue to avoid a holistic, root-cause approach to our crises, then I reckon people of the future are going to be very confused by our actions. "All that science at their disposal but they chose to listen to software engineer, Bill Gates? Wtf!".

Will this period go down in history as the real ‘Dark Ages’?

.....

I've been trying to write a list of all the actions that I think the science shows we should have taken in response to Covid. In my view, we should’ve recognized back in March/April that the virus had been with us for many months, and that shutting everyone in their houses wasn’t going to make it magically disappear, (and that it would instead cause lots of catastrophic collateral damage).

- Enable all over 60s to retire early

‪- Get everyone tested for Vitamin D levels, (obviously focussing first on vulnerable groups). Provide appropriate supplementation, (also Vitamin C and Zinc)‬

‪- Educate about nutrition and give everyone the means to eat well and heal metabolic syndrome

- Regulate/shut down some of the corporations selling highly-processed junk food‬

- Encourage people to spend time outdoors in the sun and in nature

- Reduce environmental toxicity; perhaps no driving for a few months unless absolutely necessary, and shut down some factories (eg those in cancer alley)

- Recommend, and educate about, meditation and its benefits 

‪- Regulate corporate media, to stop the scaremongering and disinformation. Use the state broadcaster to educate the public about healthy lifestyle/diet

- End poverty!

‪- Invest massively in the NHS (and introduce Functional Medicine)‬

‪- Advise some social distancing for those who feel they might be vulnerable, and help them isolate if they’d like to

‪- Puts lots of funding into treatments; allow doctors to use effective treatments like Ivermectin

- Begin revolutionizing the food system to entirely organic/regenerative!

Trump supporters briefly storm Capitol building

A coup is what the CIA and Biden’s ilk (and Trump) do to poor countries in the global south to advance corporate interests. This latest shitshow in the US was just an angry mob with no plan, (that somehow stormed a government building in a country that spends $billions on 'security'). 

Whatever it was, it‘ll be very helpful as justification for Biden & co's likely further crackdown on liberty/dissent. Internet censorship etc. Patriot Act 2.0 here we come!

I'm pretty sure global corporate totalitarianism, (commonly referred to as 'democracy'), is a far more real and present threat to people and planet than a relatively small group of rowdy nationalists. (And the latter is really a symptom of the former).

Lockdown insanity contines

So will the latest UK lockdown be combined with a massive effort to boost/heal the immune systems of those who're vulnerable, by ensuring they have optimum levels of Vitamin D, as well as C, and zinc? By enabling and encouraging everyone to eat a healthy, whole foods diet and improve metabolic health? And are we going to get effective treatments like Ivermectin to everyone?

Ah no, we're just going to continue wrecking everyone's immune systems instead, via isolation, loneliness, stress, depression, lack of exercise, lack of nature, lack of sunlight. Until they get vaccines that aren't proven to be very effective at anything other than preventing some mild cases in the non-vulnerable. Awesome!

Fucking hell.

If humanity survives the coming centuries - which seems more unlikely than ever - then I expect people of the future are going to look back on this period as the real 'dark ages'. "All that science at hand, but they decided to listen to a software engineer? What nutters!".
