The reckoning has begun

The West’s Covid strategy is crumbling

The West’s Covid-19 strategy of lockdowns, mass

vaccinations and extreme curbs is losing credibility by the
moment, even if various wannabe-despots are slow to
realise it.

Despite vaccination levels running at 70 per cent and above

in many Western nations, Covid cases are at record levels
across the UK, Europe, Australia, the US, Israel and more,
nearly two years after the virus first escaped China. The
variants are outrunning the scientists’ vaccines, vaccine
efficacy is waning, and multiple health authorities such as
the WHO and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) have
come out warning against repeated boosters, not only
because they were designed for previous variants, but
because they may have adverse health effects. ‘We should
be careful in not overloading the immune system with
repeated immunizations,’ warned Marco Cavaleri, the EMA
head of vaccines strategy. Former UK vaccine agency boss
Dr Clive Dix says vaccinations have now become a ‘waste of
time’. And finally, early treatments are in focus – new
drugs, antivirals and more.

Australia, except for wayward sandgropers, has abandoned

its policy of zero-Covid and is letting the dominant, milder
Omicron variant run. The result is rocketing case numbers,
pressure on hospital systems, and a two-note chant from
our politicians of vax, vax, boost, vax, vax boost. Yet the
‘vaccines’ have not prevented infection or transmission
among the jabbed, and are of little efficacy against
Omicron, as even Pfizer boss Albert Bourla said recently.
Yes, a third shot might provide a few more weeks of
protection – until the next variant.

And how severe is Omicron? It poses a 91 per cent lower

death threat than the Delta variant, said Centres for
Disease Control (CDC) director Rochelle Walensky, citing a
big new study showing only one death among 52,000
Omicron cases. Eminent Stanford epidemiologist John
Ioannidis released a study recently of Covid infection
fatality rates in the unvaccinated, which ranged from
0.0013 per cent in those aged 0-19 to 4.9 per cent in those
aged over 70. The study concluded that fatality rates were
lower than previously reported. Add in any vaccine efficacy
in reducing the worst outcomes, and the real threat is even
lower.

Here, Australian Bureau of Statistics figures up to October

2021 put the median age of Covid deaths at 83, (which is
also our life expectancy), of whom 70 per cent had chronic
pre-existing conditions, commonly heart disease. By mid-
January, as cases and testing raged, Covid’s death tally had
climbed to nearly 2,600 over nearly two years. In contrast,
flu and pneumonia killed 4,124 Australians in 2019,
around 11 people a day, and somehow, we didn’t panic,
mask or lock down. Our Covid case fatality rate is one per
cent, barely affecting those under 60 (0.1 per cent) but far
deadlier for the elderly. Relatives who’ve had it recently say
it’s just a bad cold. So, if you’re ill, old, or obese, take your
shots, but normal life should return for everyone else.

This sounds remarkably like the strategy outlined in the

Great Barrington Declaration (GBD), authored by eminent
scientists from Oxford, Harvard, and Stanford, and signed
by 60,000 physicians, which argued for focussed
protection, herd immunity and early treatments – not mass
vaccination, lockdowns and masking. The US health
establishment colluded to bury this push, an email recently
emerging in which the National Institutes of Health boss,
Francis Collins, asked National Institutes of Allergy and
Infectious Diseases head honcho Anthony Fauci for ‘a quick
and devastating take down’ of these ‘fringe
epidemiologists’.

Early treatment options that emerged got similarly

‘cancelled’. A recent leaked report from the ne plus ultra of
US top secret squirrel agencies, the Defence Advanced
Research Projects Agency criticises in passing the
suppression of potential curatives. Author Major Joseph
Murphy said both ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine were
identified as Covid curatives in April 2020 but noted that
the files containing this information were unmarked and
thus effectively hidden.

For most in the West, the pandemic seems clearly over,

even if care must still be taken to protect the vulnerable
and our hospital system. The best aspect of Australia’s
response is that, geographically isolated, we kept the more
dangerous original virus and variants at bay until milder
Omicron arrived. No doubt this saved thousands of lives.
But with the benefit of hindsight, the global mass
vaccination strategy is looking more like a foreseeable
error; vaccines inevitably trail viral variants and as with the
flu vaccine, being protected against last year’s variant may
not be much help against this year’s strain.

Moreover, the bills for this Fauci-driven strategy, especially

the rushed and experimental ‘vaccines’, are coming due.
New reports show the jabbed seem more likely to catch
Covid than the unjabbed, possibly due to an immune-
suppression effect of the vaccines. In January, Public Health
Scotland released age-adjusted figures showing a Covid
case rate of 11 per 1000 in the unvaccinated, compared
with 25 per 1000 in the double-jabbed. The jabbed were
also twice as likely to be hospitalised.

And as a skyscraper is to a hut, so is the rising number of

reports of the Covid vaccine-injured compared to previous
reports of vaccine adverse events. This shows up in the
(self-reported) US Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting
System and the WHO’s Vigibase system, especially heart
inflammation, strokes, and blood clots. Japan now slaps
myocarditis warnings on the mRNA vaccines, and we have
all seen the all too frequent media reports on collapsing
sportsmen.

Excess death rates (those above expected mortality levels)

are rising alarmingly: Indiana life insurance company CEO,
OneAmerica’s Scott Davison, recently said excess deaths
were running 40 per cent above pre-pandemic levels, in
people aged 18-64. The figures were unprecedented,
industry-wide, and mostly not filed as Covid-19 deaths, he
said. Time will tell if these deaths are due to social
upheaval, mental health and drug issues, vaccine injuries
or something else.

A bad batch issue is emerging, with reports that a mere

four per cent of Pfizer batches were responsible for all
VAERS death reports associated with that vaccine.

Finally, there’s the issue of deaths with Covid vs deaths

from Covid, which will be clarified over time. An early CDC
report said a mere 6 per cent of the US Covid death toll
could be blamed solely on Covid.

The West has paid a hideous price in social upheaval,

fracturing and loss of freedom, and the dispute over
whether the GBD approach would have delivered similar or
better outcomes at lower human cost will rage on. Many
power-happy politicians are clinging to new controls (hi,
Dan, Mark), and vaccine mandates, masking and virus
restrictions remain global battle zones. Meanwhile Mexico
has abandoned all travel restrictions relating to Covid, and
even in risk-averse Australia the walls are coming down.
Let the reckoning begin.
