1) New Wuhan Study: Asymptomatic Patients do not Transmit Corona 2020news.de/en/new-wuhan-s…
'A new study from Wuhan shows that asymptomatic transmission is not important in SARS-CoV-2.
A strict lockdown regime was implemented in Wuhan between January 23 and April 8, 2020.'
2) 'After the lockdown ended, a citywide SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid screening program was conducted between May 14 and June 1, 2020. All city residents aged six years or older were invited to participate and 9,899,828 (92.9%) took part. The result: No new symptomatic cases...'
3) ...'were identified and only 300 asymptomatic cases were identified. The 1,174 close contacts of asymptomatic cases all tested negative.
In summary, the researchers concluded that the detection rate of asymptomatic positive cases in the Wuhan after lockdown ...'

1/6 Myth 1 'You can have it and not know it and still spread it'
Simply not possible. Recent study (nature.com/articles/s4146…) published in Nature (20 November 2020) looked at prevalence of “infection” after the removal of three month long restrictions in Wuhan, China." ...
2/6 A two week screening program took place in May with almost 10 million participants, around 92% of the entire population of Wuhan. Out of 9,899,828 people only 300 “asymptomatic cases” were detected. And of the 1,174 close contacts of these 300 “asymptomatic cases” ...
3/6 ...none tested positive. Upon this, the rate of “asymptomatic cases” is 0.00003, which is next to zero and statistically meaningless. Further, not a single case of spread was found for these 300 people, indicating that
there is no such thing as an “asymptomatic spreader”.

a) OB, "Nothing is made sacred, it becomes sacred when we give our attention to it at the level in which the thing reveals what it holds, as energy and information. So everything can become sacred if we give the level of attention to it at the point in which - ..."
b) OB, "I want to keep the human element of giving attention. And it's really important that we take responsibility for giving something and not saying everything is and just taking it. This is the mistake. Human beings must give, if we're going to get out of this problem." ...
c) OB, "Just saying it's sacred is not fully so. It's what it is. It's without - if it's in nature, nature has its own ecology for what it exchanges."

1/6 Orland Bishop, "...if I come upon someone that's crying and I want to know why, what laws of physics should I use? To take out a ruler, measure how far the tears are dropping, the rate of the tears flowing?"

"So the way we know it is, give that person a hug. And that ..."
2/6 ..."is a metaphysical choice. Because the context for really knowing has to be established at a level in my own feeling for the truthfulness of their reason for crying. And so there are certain things that yes, the laws of physics totally apply. And we can - ..." ...
3/6 ..."we've engineered some great things using that. But the dynamics of interaction, to where I get to know you as a person, transcends physics. It allows me to experience insight, that because of my longing to know, I gain access to something in both me and you..." ...

1/6 A quote relating to the myth of overpopulation from corbettreport.com/ehrlich/ 6.5.18
"If only Paul Ehrlich was an unsuccessful charlatan, barking his end-of-the-world predictions like a madman on a street corner, it may be possible to dismiss him as a harmless crank."
2/6 "But rather than being shunned as a charlatan, Ehrlich has been embraced by the "respectable" scientific community.
He has been awarded The Crafoord Prize from the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, the World Ecology Award from the University of Missouri, ..." ...
