I can't remember exactly when, but I realized it was a nothingburger sometime in 2020 just by looking at the Canadian government's own covid statistics online and realizing the CFR was something like 0.6. I realized even that was likely to be overblown since many cases probably weren't tested or reported. It took me a lot longer to realize it was a deliberately manufactured crisis, though. I just thought politicians had panicked and were being overly cautious and all they needed was to be exposed to the actual data to change course. Much later when it became clear they were ignoring the data I finally caught on, and now I call it the greatest fraud ever perpetuated in the history of humanity.

As I recall my wakening was about the time I had to consider boosters. I needed to do something as the illness seemed to rise up in my area, again. That's when I seriously looked at data and concluded that the vaccines were failing. At 82 with issues I was cautious and simply had been avoiding crowds which was getting more difficult. I latched onto using diluted Betadine gargle & nose swabs. I thought my routine use of Vit D, C and NAC along with Q & Zinc would help my immune system. So far so good. My 89 year old neighbor agrees as well - no more vaccines.

Thanks for another interesting article. I have a question which is slightly off-topic but is to do with life expectancy and covid. I'm in the UK I should say. There has been something in the news over here regarding an article published by The Kings Fund, a body which looks at health trends. The article says that life expectancy at birth fell by about a year in 2020 due to covid after a more or less continuous rise since about 1850 up until 2019. But how do you calculate the life expectancy at birth for someone born in 2019 or 2020? Here is a link to the article -

I presumed COVID was no worse than a bad flu before it even arrived here in the US (by "arrived" I don't mean the first actual cases, but rather the media's declaration of its arrival.) My reasoning required no particular knowledge of virology or epidemiology, merely a recollection of recent history: if media and academic/bureaucratic scoundrels like Ferguson and Fauci were wrong about SARS, MERS, BSE, Ebola, West Nile.... what sense is there in concluding that *this time*, finally, they got one right?
