BREAKING NEWS: According to Dr. Paul Alexander, here are now over 400 studies that expose the utter failure of all of the COVID-related mandates and compulsory restrictions in the real world, and ZERO studies of even halfway-decent quality that show the opposite with any real confidence. Once you exclude all of the fatally-flawed and poorest quality studies, and look at enough real-world data points, one can firmly conclude that all of these measures have done far more harm than good on balance. And they should NEVER, EVER, EVER be repeated. Like, ever.
Dr. Alexander's article discusses compulsory non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) such as lockdowns, shelter-in-place, school closures, masks and mask mandates, etc. and essentially debunks them all. Scratch that, he debones, fillets, slices, dices, and juliennes each and every one of these sacred cows, and pretty much lays waste to their remains. However, his article does not touch on the most recent addition to the mix: the now ubiquitous "vaccines" and the disgustingly tyrannical mandates and passports of same. That is where the ever-insightful Steve Kirsch comes in, noting that these jabs literally kill more people than they save, and a fortiori for children to the tune of 117 to 1. And that data was largely before the boosters became widely used, so that is most likely a lower bound for the adverse effects going forward if we continue on the path we are on. They are also known to be very "leaky" (i.e. they don't stop transmission), and are thus NOT fit for the purpose of mass vaccination even if they were somehow perfectly safe (which they're not).
Thus, to put it in medical terminology, "the therapeutic window is closed" for all of these mandates and restrictions, period. We must scrap the whole lot of them, cold turkey, never to repeat them again. And the same is clearly true for these "vaccines" themselves, with maybe the exception of some extremely vulnerable and high risk individuals who still have yet to receive them for whatever reason. Plenty of early treatments and prophylactics exist that completely obviate any need for these jabs, we just need to stop denying and censoring them, and start using them. And yesterday is NOT soon enough!
FINAL THOUGHT: If anyone still thinks that vaccine mandates or passports are somehow necessary OR sufficient to prevent another lockdown, well, we've got a nice bridge over the Danube River we'd like to sell you. As they are now learning the hard way in Europe, you cannot bargain with the devil and hope to come out in one piece! Cold turkey is the only way out of this mess for good, period. When you try to meet insanity and tyranny in the middle, you will always lose, each and every single time.
UPDATE: Looks like Sweden, who famously eschewed lockdowns, mask mandates, and vaccine mandates, has ultimately been vindicated after all. Their cumulative all-cause excess mortality per capita (by far the best indicator of all) was well below the European average, and believe it or not, not very different from their neighbors when you include all of their neighbors. And Brazil, who had a reputation for being lax, and even Belarus, Nicaragua, and Tanzania, who largely ignored the pandemic, also fared quite similarly to their much stricter neighbors as well in terms of excess deaths. And here in the USA, we see that Florida's excess death rate was roughly equivalent to California's despite the latter being much, much stricter overall than the former, AND despite the former also having a much older and fatter population as well. Game. Set. Match.
Another study finds that babies born during the pandemic have stunted development compared to babies born before the pandemic. Interestingly, no significant difference was seen between babies born to mothers who contracted the virus during pregnancy and those who did not. Rather, it was the mothers' stress from all of the panic and lockdowns that had a toxic effect on the babies across regardless of the virus itself. Let that sink in for a moment. Now add in all the ubiquitous antisocial distancing and masks they experienced during early childhood as well, and it gets even worse still.
As for the Nu Xi Omicron variant, it is looking more and more like an intellectual checkmate for the purveyors of the official narrative. Both "Team Vaccine" and "Team Zero Covid" are about to eat some serious crow, while the inevitable transition from pandemic to endemic has been greatly accelerated.
And now, the CDC has finally decided to pull the plug on the fraudulent PCR test, effectively December 31, 2021. Because they know that the gig is up, the narrative has been completely laid waste, and effectively ending PCR testing is literally the only way they can declare "victory" over Covid at this point.
