Covid antibodies found in stored blood from Sept/Nov 2019 in European blood banks. The implications are enormous.

1. Long before the official start date, it was too late to stop the disease from spreading across the earth. We have wasted 2 years on lockdowns for nothing.
[1/4]
2. The pre-prints finding the virus in Nov/Dec 2019 in the Wuhan markets (reported breathlessly by the NYT) do not point to the true origin events of the virus.
[2/4]

3. The early seroprevalence studies that found a prevalence of 3%+ in large US metro centers are not so surprising in light of a Sept/Nov 2019 European start date.

Why have the studies @contrarian4data linked not received more attention from the press and scientific communities?
[4/4]
@contrarian4data Update: Some commenters are questioning the specificity of antibody tests in general as a basis for dismissing the French and Italian papers. But the false-postiive rates of antibody tests differ across tests and are generally low. I don't see a specific critique of these tests.
@contrarian4data I'm open to being convinced that the tests used are not fit for purpose, but it will take more than just links to papers that show that some antibody tests have a high false positive rate.

In the covid era, public health and the media made it a virtue to create panic about being infected. This was gross malpractice on the part of the media and public health, distorting people's demand for lockdowns that harmed children, the poor, and the working class.
1/4
In April 2020, a @USC Understanding America Study found that respondents thought one in four people who got covid would die from infection. These numbers were two orders of magnitude greater than the true infection fatality risk. No wonder people panicked.
2/4 Image
Even by the end of June 2021, the perceived infection fatality risk had only dropped to one in eight, still orders of magnitude too high, and this is after most elderly Americans had been vaccinated and a large fraction of the country had immunity gained from covid recovery.

The Supreme Court just ruled in the Murthy v. Missouri case that the Biden Administration can coerce social media companies to censor and shadowban people and posts it doesn't like. Congress will now need to act to enforce the Constitution since the Sup. Ct. won't.
This now also becomes a key issue in the upcoming election. Where do the presidential candidates stand on social media censorship? We know where Biden stands since his lawyers argue that he has near monarchical power over social media speech.
The court ruled that the plaintiffs (Missouri and Louisiana, as well as me and other blacklisted individuals) lacked standing to sue. This means that the Administration can censor ideas & no person will have standing to enforce the 1st Amendment. Free speech in America, for the moment, is dead.

In a large Danish cohort study, getting covid correlates with a lower incidence of new diagnoses of dementia or any psychiatric disease in 12 months after infection compared to a control group who never had a positive test.
neurology.org/doi/10.1212/WN…
The result is very likely a spurious correlation. But the study is so large and with a control group, that it indicts many smaller studies -- often without control groups -- that purport to find covid causes psychiatric conditions or dementia. Those are also probably spurious correlations.
The study does, very reasonably, find that being hospitalized with severe covid correlates positively with poor psychiatric outcomes months later.

All in all, a very interesting study. If there is a casual relationship between covid infection and subsequent psychiatric conditions, it is complicated and difficult to establish using even well done epi cohort study methods.

Since 2020, the @cpso_ca has been persecuting Dr. @dockaurG for tweeting that
--lockdowns don't work
--waiting for a vax to lift lockdowns is harmful,
--contact tracing covid was futile.

All true statements.

Today, Dr. Gill got her day in court. A thread.
1/5
The @cpso_ca argued:
1. The CPSO can -- in effect -- ignore the free speech rights of doctors because of the precautionary principle.
2. Doctors who contradict public health should be subject to discipline.
3. It doesn't matter if the doctor writes factually accurate things.
2/5
Dr. @dockaurG's lawyer pointed out that
1. Dr. Gill's tweets were not factually incorrect.
2. Even if that were not the case, she still has free speech rights.
3. That independent doctors serve as a necessary check on public health overreach.

There is an important new report out on the lessons we should learn from the covid era by @kerpen, @ScottAtlas_IT, @steve_hanke, and @caseybmulligan. A thread follows:

Lesson #1: Leaders should calm fears, not stoke them.
1/11Image
Lesson #2: Lockdowns do not work to substantially reduce deaths or stop viral circulation
2/11Image
Lesson #3: Lockdowns and Social Isolation Had Negative Consequences that Far Outweighed Benefits

My friend Andrew Lowenthal (@NAffects) once worked at the Harvard Berkman-Klein Center. He now works to expose the inner workings of the censorship industrial complex of which the Berkman Center is a part. The essay he wrote last April is eye-opening.
1/5
 brownstone.org/articles/the-c…
Over the years, Andrew watched with dismay as a legitimate scholarly enterprise with a deep commitment to free speech turned against its prior stance in favor of propaganda.
2/5 Image
The censorship complex is vast and incredibly well-funded, encompassing powerful civilian NGOs, media organizations, and defense contractors.
