Covid... Yet Again

I am really tired of talking and writing about this pandemic.  But there is so much disinformation being shoved down our throats on a daily basis, I feel like I need to shed some light on the actual “science” of this disease.

What everyone needs to come to terms with is that we have a new respiratory virus in town – one that may stay with us indefinitely! The question becomes, just how long do we lock ourselves in our homes and shun all social relationships?!

The data is clear – Covid 19 has not resulted in excess mortality! Meaning, the same number of people have died in this pandemic year as have died in any other year! Many studies suggest this thing is far more widespread than we even know.

But cases are going through the roof, right? Yes! But deaths have been steady and low all the way along. Mass testing with dubious parameters lead to lots of positive results. When you are multiplying a swabbed DNA trillions of times just to detect it, you are likely getting many false positives. Even the “great” Dr. Fauci admits PCR tests over 25 cycles are useless. They are run today at over 40 cycles – insane!

The one thing we now know is that asymptomatic people do NOT infect others. If you have no symptoms, others cannot get it from you, and vice versa!  Why?  Because the viral load is not enough to be transferred to others.

If you are sick with symptoms, you should act like you would with any other viral infection.  Mainly, stay away from others as long as you have symptoms, just like the flu.

This virus has no special powers to defeat your immune system. It isn’t a death sentence if you get it, and everybody’s symptoms are different. It is your own immune system health that determines your outcome.

Masking makes absolutely no difference in getting this disease! A study of 6000 people in Denmark has proven the difference in the infection rate of masks and no masks is zero. The same exact percentage of each group got Covid, 2% over a 30-day period.

Wearing a mask gives a false sense of safety. It might make you feel like you are helping yourself or others, but in reality, it is a meaningless gesture and devoid of any scientific merit.

These are the reality of today, as I read it in real scientific articles and studies. The “science” the government and media are pushing is not based on facts.

This disease is real, but it is not uncontrollable, nor is it something you can’t recover from, since a full 99.7% of people under 60 do every day.

You say, “But what about those over 60?” What bout it? From what I know, people over 60 recover from all diseases at a lesser rate, right? As we age, we are weaker, we have comorbidities and we are generally less healthy than when we were 20. It only makes sense that with Covid, and with any other disease, it is worse on the older population. This is life people! It is what it is.  Get over the panic and live your life, this disease is here to stay. As more people get it, more become immune, and herd immunity is developed.

And don’t even ask me about a vaccine. For a disease 99.7% of people recover from, you’re going to get a vaccine that is 90% effective?? I think not.

Lastly, get your Vitamin D3 levels way up.  Low D3 levels is the single biggest factor that determines your level of sickness and susceptibility to this and many other infectious diseases.  Take 5-10,000 IU per day during winter months for the greatest ability to fight off disease.
