And when I say the jig is up I'm not referring to a tumescent coloured gentleman, rather to the artificial panic accompanying COVID-19. Because the much-ballyhooed death rate has been shown, like so much else, to be fraudulent. The cheerleaders for the panic claim the death rate to be up to ten times that of the common flu. A claim which many of us doubted given the overall level of fatalities seemed little different from earlier flu epidemics. The trick they used was to compute the death rate from the total number tested for COVID-19. This ratio they then applied to the ratio of deaths from earlier flu epidemics which were based on the total population - of those tested and untested. A classic example of comparing apples and oranges.
This was underlined by a recent study in LA whose participants were randomly tested for the virus. This showed the infection rate to be more than fifty times higher than it was for those tested for the virus. And this is obvious given that almost all of those tested would have been showing symptoms. Putting this another way, the death rate from the virus was/is fifty times lower than had been claimed. And of course this conforms with the overall death figures from various countries which, to put it mildly, do not support the outlandish claims made about COVID-19.
And further evidence is provided by the extraordinary admissions by members of the media just before Tuesday’s White House press briefing. John Roberts of Fox "News" was caught on a hot mic with Doug Mills of the NYT. “You can take off the mask,” he told Mills. “The case fatality rate is like 0.1 to 0.3, according to USC [in other words similar to the seasonal flu]. ”Is it really?” Mills responded, “everybody here’s been vaccinated anyway.”
Cue a panicked response from Mills and Roberts insisting that they were joking. But listen to the exchange here and you'll realise that they most certainly are not joking. The media should have been all over the study that gave rise to this exchange but of course it's gone down the memory hole.
It could yet emerge that the LA study was inaccurate in some way. But if not the jig is indeed up.
