Here’s the first page capture I want to point out:
During an interview with Fox News last Sunday, Microsoft founder Bill Gates praised Taiwan’s quick response to the COVID-19 outbreak.
During an interview with Chris Wallace on the Fox News programme Fox News Sunday, Gates cited Taiwan as a primary example of a country that had handled the pandemic more effectively than others. He also suggested that the U.S. learn from the island nation’s implementation of epidemic control policies.
By ‘epidemic control policies’, what Billion Dollar Bill means is wholescale testing and lockdown.
Ten days ago, Gates railed against the lack of US preparation in the way of virus testing kits. It made headlines across America. Less well-known is his investment in home-test kits likely to deliver him, in the words of one seasoned observer, “a thousand-fold return on every Dollar”.
The second part of the praise referenced lockdown.
In the early Naughties, Gates chose to spend some 30% of his vast fortune ( worth around $40bn at today’s values) developing the technology and launch capacity of low-altitude satellites. I had a website at the time called Not Born Yesterday: I blogged about Gates’s investment, but had to confess I hadn’t a clue why he’d piled into it.
He now has, along with Elon Musk, the biggest chunk of that non-terrestrial comms medium. Rising above the bullshit for a few helicopter moments, one realises very quickly that 75% of the point of LASs is high resolution surveillance. This wasn’t some coup de foudre fancy by Gates: he correctly discerned the lockdown world of the future wer’e now all too predictably in.
Four days ago, Our Bill called Covid19 “a once in a century pathogen”. He called it that because he wants to make lockdown stuff normal. And his manner, approach and mile-wide smile may yet ensure that comes about. But his capacious memory and personal info absorption is such that he knows perfectly well C19 is not such a virus. He is just another Gigarich pillock with an agenda.
The software system Bill Gates et al developed is a total crock and always has been. One of the few things more anti-social than Microsoft is the Facebook medium that made Mark Zuckerberg a multi-billionaire with disturbing Presidential ambitions. It too is a naked tool for tracking people in the Surveillance State. Small wonder then, that Marky-Mark’s foundation, The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, and its affiliated CZI Biohub, just announced it will purchase two diagnostic machines capable of running tests for Coronaviruses. The foundation’s purchase will quadruple the capacity of testing machines currently available in San Francisco.
Let’s keep moving on here. The story so far: having your money invested in lockdowns, global movie travel-tracking and virus testing kits looks like a sound strategy as the Dystopian future unfolds.
But let’s not forget vaccination:
The investment by Glaxosmithkline in Vir Biotechnology, a Nasdaq-listed company, gives it a stake of about 6% and full access to VirBio’s monoclonal antibody platform technology. The partnership is designed to accelerate existing and identify new antibodies that could be used to tackle the Covid-19 pandemic and future outbreaks.
And of course, if you lockdown against a virus, toxic vaccination is needed to do the natural job of Herd Immunity.
The lady on the left above is Emma Walmsley, the chief executive of Glaxosmithkline, and boy, doesn’t she look like a modest girl at heart. The sexpest on the right is looking suitably bored. The picture was taken in June 2019. Hold that thought.
This is about the success story of Dr. Vladimir Zelenko, a board-certified family practitioner in New York, after he successfully treated 699 coronavirus patients with 100% success – that is, death rate of zero – using a cocktail of drugs: hydroxychloroquine, in combination with azithromycin (Z-Pak), an antibiotic to treat secondary infections, and zinc sulfate. Dr. Zelenko said he saw the symptom of shortness of breath resolved within four to six hours after treatment. Hydroxychloroquine is now being used worldwide, according to a map from the respected French medic, Dr. Didier Raoult.
In early March this year, the ginger bloke next to Emma Walmsley said Chloroquine was “an effective treatment of Covid19, pretty much a cure”. It isn’t a cure, but it certainly reduces the deathrate if used properly.
The media then jumped all over the guy who is Not Their President, said he was FOS, and printed verbatim Big Pharma lies about (Hydroxy)chloroquine. Donald Trump (no relation) then abruptly went quiet on the subject.
A week later, there was a mass theft of Hydroxychloroquine from the central French stockpile warehouse, followed immediately by Pharma-connected Emmanuel Macron’s draconian lockdown régime.
To restate a simple a simple Truth The Slog has been repeating for the last five weeks: lockdown as a strategy does not build herd immunity, it simply allows millions to avoid the virus. If all you do is avoid the virus, it will come back the following ‘season’. The only other way to achieve immunity is through vaccination.
I still believe that China has not built anywhere near enough herd immunity, because WuBei province is but a fraction of the 1.8 billion Chinese population. Please stop writing me off as an irresponsible loon: this is science, not BS.
Come next ‘season’, COVID19 or a close variant will reappear…..and Big Pharma will be rubbing its hands. If you believe as I do in Follow The Money, then a a quarter of a billion dollars is one shedload of money to be following.
And another page capture…..
I ask you to note two things at this point: first, my audacious use – twice, already – of the word ‘season’ above; and second, the double standards of the reporting in the capture above from (guess who?) The Times.
As, just the week before last, we saw one of the biggest bouncebacks in Wall Street history when the COVID19 spread was at its peak, this week’s “rally” can hardly be put down to slowing case rates: you can’t have a correlation working in both directions at once….well, that is, you can if your a Bourse stuffed with liars, but that’s another point entirely.
It’s the assumption “restrictions were starting to have an effect” that made me smile. Case rates are dropping around the EU, in Britain and in the US. The one thing all of them have in common is rising mean temperatures as early Summer starts to break.
Last week I pointed out the slow progress of C19 in India amid high (seasonally normal) temperatures. There are 1.4 billion people in India, but only 4,421 cases recorded and 114 dead. The death toll rose by just three last night. In the UK, the death toll is 4,934, with 621 new deaths overnight. The UK population is roughly 4% that of India, and its health infrastructure infinitely superior. India shares a colossal border with China, and is 4,000 miles nearer than we are.
For my money, the case for COVID19 being a traditionally seasonal Coronavirus is close to being proven: lockdown is making a difference (largely pointless, because it represents merely avoidance behaviour) but rising temperatures are slowing the virus down: in India, in fact, it never really got going.
I am (no doubt like a lot of you folks out there in Superhighwayland) completely and utterly bored to the back teeth with this virus. It isn’t a virus really, it’s a symptom: of the average human being’s servility, mind closed to alternative analyses, and propensity to panic rather than think.
I do not and never have at this site posited “wild conspiracy theories”. Here’s another page piccie I put up on Twitter two days ago:
I’ve since seen output from the CDC in America. Their esimate of minor unreported cases is “five to ten times bigger than reported cases”.
The MSM is in denial about this factor – the one thing I’ve been headlining here for the last two months. If the CDC estimate is only right at their minimum level, then the real death rate is semi-decimated. This would explain why seasonal death rates among the elderly are not spiking.
My conclusions to date remain evidence based:
- This is not a deadly killer virus
- The initial Chinese coverup didn’t help
- Many people in the 3% have motives for suggesting that it is worse than it is
- These motives include excusing bourse economic failure, squashing political rivals, blamestorming against geopolitical “enemies”, and seeing what social clampdowns they can get away with.
- Far from being a one-off mutating, year-round virus, it is very similar to other Coronas…the exception being ease of infection
- Lockdown is a strategy that favours political control freaks, national security surveillance freaks, test-kit peddlers and Big Pharma vaccinators
- The efficacy of chlorochine-mix management is being falsely trashed
- Davos game-played a coronavirus outbreak four weeks before it began
- People like Macron (& others in the EU) have a track record of creating chaos – the more aggressively to demand strict order as the replacement for liberty
- The cheerfully patriotic servility of the average citizen has further convinced the 3% that they can rule over us without fear of reprisals.
That’s it, really. I’m off to mow some grass and think of other things to write about.
