“Superstition in the Pigeon”: Can Lockdowns Really Stop Death?
"The third month of 2020 came with a friendly governmental FYI: “your actions, good citizen, can either stop death, or cause death.
‘Stay home’ to save lives; ‘go out’ and kill people.”
We froze in our places, shocked at our newfound power.

We froze in our places, shocked at our newfound power.
New systems were implemented; kids were set in front of sanitized screens in place of classrooms; alarms were set for 4 a.m. to reserve grocery delivery timeslots to avoid contaminating the store aisles with our breath.
“Whatever it takes. At all costs, we will not promote death.”
...One has to wonder, how did this come about?

Why weren’t we behaving this way before, when seasonal influenza is known to kill up to 650,000 people globally every single year?...
- Neil Ferguson, “Imperial” Fraudster Extraordinaire
Prior to tricking us with his unreviewed COVID paper in March 2020, he made several other very entertaining predictions:
- 2001: predicted 150,000 deaths from foot-and-mouth disease, resulting in the mass culling of eleven million sheep and cattle. Reality: fewer than 200 deaths.
- 2002: predicted 50,000 people would die from exposure to BSE (mad cow disease) in beef. Reality: 177 deaths.
- 2005: predicted 150 million deaths from bird flu. Reality: 282 people died worldwide over a period of six years.
- 2009: predicted swine flu would kill 65,000 Britons. Reality: 457 deaths in the U.K.

Top Epidemiologists: ‘Grave Concerns About Damaging Impacts ...Of Prevailing Policies’
The Great Barrington Declaration was launched Oct. 4 and saw the number of signatures more than doubling, in a single week, from the 239,479 it had on Oct. 12.
- 'Most compassionate ... to let those less at risk ... build up immunity through natural infection'
"A petition authored by prominent epidemiologists that advocates for children returning to school and an end to government COVID-19 lockdowns has garnered 550,159 signatures thus far, including 10,835 from medical and public health scientists and 30,105 from medical practitioners, according to its website.
The website for the Great Barrington Declaration summarizes the statement this way:
“As infectious disease epidemiologists and public health scientists we have grave concerns about the damaging physical and mental health impacts of the prevailing COVID-19 policies and recommend an approach we call Focused Protection.”
The declaration itself states, in part: “The most compassionate approach that balances the risks and benefits of reaching herd immunity, is to allow those who are at minimal risk of death to live their lives normally to build up immunity to the virus through natural infection, while better protecting those who are at highest risk.”...Read all!

Peer-based anti-bullying initiatives may harm victims more, researcher says - UPI.com
"Oct. 20 (UPI) -- Encouraging classmates to defend bullied pupils may do more harm than good, according to a review of existing research published Tuesday by Child Development Perspectives.
Unlike programs that include parental training, firm discipline or enhanced playground supervision, interventions that involve working with the peers of bullied students tend to lead to increases in the behavior, the author wrote.
...studies designed to evaluate the effectiveness of bullying prevention programs have generated mixed results and demonstrated few if any benefits for secondary school students...Read all.

via CF - "Anyone out there who can tell me what our end game is with the covid 19?
What is the magic formula that is going to allow us to sound the all clear?
- Is it zero cases? The only way that will happen is if we just stop testing and stop reporting.
- Is it a vaccine? It took 25 years for a chicken pox vaccine to be developed. The smallpox inoculation was discovered in 1796 the last known natural case was in 1977.
- We have a flu vaccine that is only 40 to 60% effective and less than half of the US population choose to get one, and roughly 20,000 Americans will die of the flu or flu complications.
- Oh, you'll mandate it, like other vaccines are mandated in order to attend school, travel to some foreign countries, etc.

Let me translate the CDC nonsense: Our strictures which proved unwarranted killed half as many people as Covid did.
"CDC-- jackasses:The CDC said the pandemic has likely caused the deaths of about 300,000 Americans. That number is higher than the COVID-19 death toll because it includes people who died from heart attacks or other medical emergencies that were untreated.
Reminds me of the old Yiddish joke about the guy who kills his parents and asks the court for mercy because he's an orphan.

Does This Photo of Kamala Harris Imply a Lack of Enthusiasm? - Louder With Crowder:
Joe Biden is currently at double digits in a lot of the polls, but some are questioning those polls' accuracy. Partly because of 2016. Partly because of the utter and stunning lack of public enthusiasm for the Biden-Harris campaign (see JOE BIDEN LASHES OUT AT CBS NEWS REPORTER, THEN INSULTS HIM PERSONALLY and LAS VEGAS 'LATINOS FOR BIDEN' RALLY IS JUST SAD). This apparent photo of a Kamala Harris event in Florida isn't going to help matters.

COVID death rates continue to fall
COVID death rates continue to fall
"If deaths rates from COVID have gone way down, why then are people still getting so upset about rising case rates in some places?
“Second wave!” they scream.
I think the answer is that the MSM has become addicted to COVID alarm stories, both because that type of news drives traffic and because the MSM thinks it will hurt Trump.

I think the answer is that the MSM has become addicted to COVID alarm stories, both because that type of news drives traffic and because the MSM thinks it will hurt Trump.
So it continues, and added on is the bizarre fiction that someone who has not had a single good idea about how to tackle COVID any differently than Trump did (Joe Biden) is supposed to be the person who will handle it all much much better.
But let’s take a look at some facts that might help explain what’s going on now with COVID.
But let’s take a look at some facts that might help explain what’s going on now with COVID.
- There have been more tests, and in particular tests of people who are less ill or even asymptomatic.
- Also, the tests being used are more sensitive and probably pick up a lot more cases that would have earlier been missed.
- The people who are testing positive now tend to also be younger than before, and of course that means they would be expected to have milder cases.
- There’s also the possibility that social distancing and/or masks reduce the viral load even in people who do come down with the disease.
- Plus, treatment has changed...Read all.
