sweden eschewed lockdown

some have claimed it is a disaster and the horror of scandanavia

others that this was wise and that it's mostly the more aggressive swedish counting for COV that has driven result divergence

all cause deaths can give us insight into which is correct. Image

these self-reporting studies are not actual data, they're associative correlation mining.

it's an association of "i think i have some ill-defined generalized feelings of being unwell" with "i was obsessed with covid and kept testing until i found trace virus and/or assumed i had it."

here's my null hypothesis: this is just measuring generalized anxiety.

it selected for anxious people and the kinds of folks that used to claim "fibromyalgia" or "chronic fatigue syndrome" and gave them a new target upon which to fixate.

these are the same people who will swear in self reporting that they have had lots of covid.

is there any data in this "study" that can invalidate or outperform that explanation?

i'll wager there is not.
the strongest predictor of "long covid" has always been "anxiety or stress disorders."

it outperformed "having actually had covid" by a wide margin.

we see this over and over again in study after study:

long covid shows very strong signs of being predominantly a disease of those who previously had mental health issues.

(PASC = long covid)

a frequent emotive mask argument seems to be circular fallacy.

"masks don't work!"

"oh yeah, well here's something bad they could have prevented if they did work!"

it's a nasty embedding using appeal to emotion as a slight of hand to pass off presumed efficacy.
then you gin up something utterly facile and baseless like "your mask protects me" to render compliance "a duty" and "not about you" so you can demand adherence and mask toddlers in the name of a grandma who never asked for your help.

this recruits all the anxious and fearful. Image
we can argue about whether it was weaponized nudges/psyop or the emergent output of social media memetic rarefication in an attention economy, but in the end this was perhaps the most potent and pervasive propaganda programs in history.

and a lot of people have NOT recovered. Image

this new royal society study is pure garbage.

it's just "papering the file" for some forthcoming pseudoscientific outrage.

the evidence that masks and lockdowns failed is overwhelming. this study is a collection of datacrime, cherry picking, and lies.
this data has been hilariously obvious right from the beginning. not only did all the pandemic guidelines say none of this would work, but the data bore it out immediately and conclusively.

no curves were bent. lockdowns made zero difference, zero.

it's obvious in every real, data driven comparison

huge differences in lockdown

there is a word for people who see the same thing in every ink-bolt.

that word is not "journalist."

(it's not "leader" either...) Image
the fact of the matter is simple:

so long as you allow government to grab additional power in "an emergency" it will invent an endless cavalcade of crises and hobgoblins to justify the taking and retention of such power.

there are no exceptions. Image
if you think "well this one is different!" or that "we're going to get better and smarter people this time!" or "we need to trust the experts!" whose budgets and careers are advanced by scaring you into paying and empowering them, then you have become an agent of clown world. Image

i agree with this assessment.

it took me a while to realize it and in early 2020, i found this to be implausible because if you were going to make a bioweapon, covid would be a lousy base.

then i saw daszak's DARPA grant application and realized what probably happened. 🙀
as to why it was covered up, that seems easy: lots of powerful people funded it.

when you have the NIH and DoD funding viral hotwiring in china so they can color outside the lines and they fail to supervise it, it goes way too far, and then escapes, of course they cover it up. Image
the obvious tell was how many of the people involved in the research wound up on the panels to investigate the outbreak/source.

it was pure "fox commission empaneled to study henhouse murders."

the pangolins never stood a chance... Image

of course it is.

control of money is vital to the conception of the modern nation state.

if commerce, savings, and investment become opaque to government it would represent the greatest transfer of power away from the center and to "we the people" since the conception of rights
it would undermine everything they use to sustain control.

they could not regulate commerce, lending, banking, or investment.

they would not be able to see what you are paid or what you pay others.

and you cannot tax what you cannot see. Image
the idea that people would need to be induced to voluntarily contribute to gov't enterprises on an opt-in basis terrifies them because they know that most of what they are "selling" cannot survive consumer sovereignty and such emergence would lead to true individual sovereignty Image
