Covid: What is being ignored?

How much of COVID-19 policy is being driven by profiteering big pharma? Is it possible that this is why a common drug like hydroxychloroquine is being shunned? Corporate media is currently calling anyone a conspiracy theorist who promotes it as a potential remedy to early-stage Covid infection, and social media is censoring those who do so; despite, from what I can tell, the science being very much up for debate - read here. 

Many countries have been prescribing the medication during the pandemic, including Cuba. Is it being kept from us, so that big pharma can profit as much as possible from an upcoming vaccine?

I'm going to keep a log here of instances of censorship, and of information/studies that aren't making the headlines.

Del Bigtree, a conservative who had a show on YouTube, has been removed from YouTube, after sharing a video of 'America's First Doctors' - a group of (seemingly very right-wing) doctors who broadcast a press conference on Facebook, in which they called out the current response to the virus, including the demonization of hydroxychloriquine. The broadcast had millions of views before being taken down by Facebook. Watch this fascinating interview that Bigtree did with Zach Bush a few months ago.

Actual deaths due to COVID are some 54% or 63% lower than implied - research from Loughborough and Sheffield Universities. Seems to match up with this from the British Medical Journal, in May.

There’s little correlation between the severity of a nation’s restrictions and whether it managed to curb excess fatalities.

-

According to this study, 'the odds of coronavirus in those who have had the flu shot, were 'significantly higher when compared to unvaccinated individuals'. Should authorities be advising against people having the flu shot this year? Also, this study: 'Being protected against influenza, TIV recipients may lack temporary non-specific immunity that protected against other respiratory viruses'. Also this.

Covid: Should we fear a 'new normal'?

(I wrote this a few weeks ago).‪

I rarely comment on Covid anymore, because I‘ve become conflicted. I recognize that it is a deadly disease, but I do sympathize with those who fear a 'new normal', in which we live in constant fear, socially distancing and covering our faces from each other. Is living like this really worth it? Is it really 'living'?

Are we pinning our hopes on a vaccine that might never come? Is policy being influenced by profiteers? Is it unreasonable and overly conspiratorial to be concerned by the fact that Bill Gates, who profits from vaccines, is the biggest funder of the World Health Organization? (And by the fact that he and others are taking advantage of the crisis and profiteering from things like this).

‪Is the response to the virus doing more harm than the virus itself would’ve done? (Increase in poverty, increase in non-Covid related deaths, destruction of small businesses). Was this inevitable, or a consequence of neoliberal incompetence, and globalization?

Is the transfer of wealth and power upwards, that the lockdowns have enabled, going to make it even harder to escape that neoliberal, globalized system, (which is also the root cause of new diseases, via the corporate plunder of nature)?

It seems anyone who doesn’t 100% agree with the strategy of locking down, or at least, heavy social distancing, until a vaccine is created, is instantly demonised as a right-wing sociopath. It’s funny that those doing this demonizing are often (neo)liberals, who’ve never shown much interest in putting people before profit previously! (Their entire ideology is all about the opposite of this). But then, as mentioned, it is definitely too simplistic to say that their Covid strategy is a case of putting people before profit. Many corporations and billionaires are doing fantastically, whilst small businesses struggle and millions lose their livelihoods.

It’s not just neoliberals; it’s the left. From Cubans to Jeremy Corbyn, most are on board with the strategy of long term lockdowns. I fear that they’re looking at things too simplistically. But I do recognize that there are no easy solutions here, and nobody wants to be the one to ask the kind of questions I'm asking.

In any case, the fact that we‘re now in a world in which it looks like we will all increasingly have to wear masks, and stay away from each other, to protect ourselves from all the diseases that come from our mistreatment of the natural world, and urbanization etc, is very depressing. This crisis should be a wake up call.

.....

Since writing the above, I have been listening to a lot of interviews with a doctor called Zach Bush. His take on the virus, and on our approach to health in general, is very different, but very compelling: Read and watch here.

How corrupted/shit is science?

Some links:


In the case of antidepressants, 36/37 studies that were favourable to drugs were published. But of the studies not favorable to drugs, a paltry 3/36 were published. The corruption of evidence-based medicine.

Marcia Angell wrote, “ It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgement of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines.
 I take no pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as an editor of The New England Journal of Medicine.”

Coronavirus - are we doing things all wrong?

Watch this interview with Zach Bush.

We’re focussing on stamping out diseases, rather than on addressing the root cause of their proliferation, and on the reasons behind our being badly affected by them - our disconnection from, and destruction of, the natural world, (and thus, the weakening of our immune systems). This war mentality is on course to cause all life on earth to go extinct.

Try and ignore the clickbait title and the ostentatious Brian Rose (the interviewer), and listen to the whole two hour interview.

Zach is not claiming there’s a big conspiracy. He’s claiming our understanding of science is very outdated and reductionistic.

Obviously I'm not a doctor or a scientist, but I just like keeping an open mind about everything, and I’ve been concerned ever since finding out that industrial/chemical farming-advocate, Bill Gates, is the biggest funder of the World Health Organisation, (or soon to be, anyway). It seems odd to me that there isn’t more concern about this and the influence it will be having over global health policy and our general philosophy on things.

Plumbing eradicated disease, not vaccines?

Read: How Plumbing Eradicated Disease, Not Vaccines

And: Aid in reverse: how poor countries develop rich countries

If only billionaires and corporations would stop exploiting the global south, and enable the exploited to improve their sanitation. Rather than continuing that exploitation and vaccinating them all, to suppress the diseases caused by the lack of sanitation!

Why don’t we address problems at their root? Because that would basically involve destroying the entire capitalist system?

We're being poisoned by the same entities that poised Holocaust victims

Read this: Bayer and The Holocaust

The corporations that created the poisons for chemical weapons of war, and The Holocaust, went on to poison our food system as well, with pesticides - particularly the chemical, glysophate.

All justified by a lie that we need industrial scale farming to feed the world. The reality is that small scale, organic farms are far more efficient - and good for the planet, rather than catastrophic for it.

(Should we blame the corporations for this, or the economic system that encourages sociopathy; that requires them to just think about the bottom line?).

.....

Does this explain why there has been such a rise in cancer rates? In chronic diseases? In autism? In infertility?

Why are these questions barely being asked? Are we just going to stay silent as we go extinct?

.....

I'm going to keep a list here of all studies I come across about glysophate. I get the impression that this is a situation like we had with the tobacco industry, in that 'the science' has been very corrupted by industry influence. So as yet, there isn't a massive amount of research proving that glysophate is linked to disease. But there is some:

Maternal glyphosate exposure causes autism-like behaviors in offspring

Prenatal and infant exposure to ambient pesticides and autism spectrum disorder in children

Roundup disrupts male reproductive functions by triggering calcium-mediated cell death in rat testis and Sertoli cells

Imagine Russia and China Did What NATO Does

Imagine Russia and China formed a military alliance - their version of NATO - then started waging wars around the world, and doing covert coups in France, Mexico, Canada, etc, installing fascist puppet regimes, building 800 military bases, putting troops near US borders, pulling out of arms treaties, and then imposing economic sanctions on the US and the UK.

How would the US and the UK respond?

We’ve been conditioned to see Putin as the imperialist menace, when it really could not be more obvious that the US/NATO is the menace.

Read here: US Wars and Hostile Actions, a List. 

Here: John Pilger, Why the Rise of Fascism is Again The Issue

And here: Russia’s got a point: The U.S. broke a NATO promise.


Some common accusations:

Putin invaded Georgia! Putin invaded Crimea! Putin destroyed Syria!

The reality:

- an EU-backed report found the US-backed regime in Georgia responsible.

- the US supported a coup in Ukraine that empowered neo-Nazis, so Crimeans voted (overwhelmingly) to rejoin Russia.

- Russia fought US-backed sectarian extremists (al Qaeda and other groups) in Syria. Had they not done so, a secular country would have fallen to those extremists.

It’s vital that we debunk this myth that Russia is a threat to us - ditto China. The evidence points to Russian foreign policy being defensive, rather than aggressive. And unlike the west, with its nonsense ‘rules based order’, Russia has demonstrated a far greater respect for international law.

What Russia actually threatens is the global hegemony of western corporations, banks, oligarchs. This is why Russia, like any other country that stands in the way of that hegenomy, is demonized. (Plus, having a bogeyman is obviously great for weapons contractors, security services, and to justify more authoritarian measures to eradicate civil liberties and have more control over the populace).

We should all want to end that hegemony. Western exceptionalism is a monstrous, supremacist, racist myth. Western imperialism is literally destroying the world, via devastating wars, and the imposition of neoliberal economics and industrial agriculture. (At least Russia is going organic!). And now, once again, it leads us closer to nuclear Armageddon. We will never be able to live in harmony with nature - which we absolutely must do - with this incredibly malevolent, plunderous force in the world.

The current, ecocidal economic system is reliant on these myths for its survival. So none of the above can be written in the media or spoken by our politicians. They’d be fired/relentlessly attacked - see the treatment of Jeremy Corbyn, for being ‘anti-west’. A huge amount of cognitive dissonance and sociopathy is required by all in positions of power and influence.

Late stage capitalism is proving to be very totalitarian. Truth and dissent not allowed. We must speak out now, whilst we can. The internet provided us with an opportunity for a massive expansion in consciousness, but it is increasingly being taken away from us, with information that threatens the status quo being filtered out, just as it is in the traditional media.

We can change things if we become more aware, and if we come together and demand change. A new system and a new world is possible.
