Has there ever been a worse public policy disaster than the response of almost all governments to COVID-19?
It is now clear that COVID-19, while very infectious, is no more lethal that various influenza epidemics, with an Infection Fatality Rate (IFR) of around 0.1 per cent. As I pointed out in Quadrant in March (“Logic, the First Casualty”), Stanford Professor of Epidemiology John Ioannidis correctly estimated the IFR for Covid as 0.125 per cent, this being the rate at which those infected perish. He also estimated the Case Fatality Rate (CFR) as about 1 per cent, this being the fatality rate of the cases being treated.
These estimates have proven to be accurate and comparable to those for seasonal influenza—and less than the 2 to 3 per cent CFR of the H1N1 influenza virus that caused the 2009 swine flu pandemic and less than the rate initially estimated by the WHO, which has not accepted the lower figure. While swine flu was not as infectious as Covid, governments did not close down societies and economies and trample civil liberties in response to the swine flu pandemic. Why have they with Covid?

One of the best articles I’ve read that travels through the entire painful COVID debacle, including the unbelievable way COVID treatments, particularly Remdesivir and HCQ have been mishandled. Well worth the time to read.
Important excerpt:
Policy-makers are therefore more likely to double down. Cognitive dissonance will help them ignore contrary evidence and the consequences of their actions, and a generally poor media is unlikely to disabuse them of their confidence that they have not made mistakes. Meantime, we all suffer.
Our long experience with Lyme/MSIDS demonstrates this point: it is very unlikely our ‘authorities’ will ever admit they made a mistake and change their ways. Too much is at stake – most of it related to big, lucrative deals that have been struck.
Hopefully it is clear our public ‘authorities’ do not care one iota about our health. If they did they would be educating and promoting healthier lifestyle choices and safe and effective treatments which according to doctors worldwide are working. Notice they push the expensive drug they all have financial ties to while denigrating a cheap, safe drug that has a long, long history of efficacy and safety. Yet, due to a complicit media, even doctors are fearful now of HCQ.
They’ve done this exact same thing with treatment for Lyme/MSIDS and have effectively scared the bejesus out of doctors who now either refuse to treat us entirely or only will treat us with a few weeks of oral antibiotics:
(Natural News) If you’ve ever wondered why some areas of the world are stopping 5G rollouts due to health concerns while others are carrying on with their plans without reservation, look no further than the deep pockets of telecommunications firms and the social media platforms protecting them. Although it’s not hard to find information about 5G’s many dangers if you look for it, those who criticize 5G technology are being regularly silenced by Big Tech as they try to keep word from spreading.
That’s exactly what happened to Sacramento activist Noah Davidson when he noticed family members experiencing health problems right after Verizon put up a small cell tower 45 feet from their home. After other members of the community started experiencing similar problems, he started a grassroots movement to help raise awareness about the dangers of 5G and to work with telecommunications firms to set up a program allowing those who don’t want 5G near them to opt out.
However, his efforts apparently drew the attention of internet censors, with YouTube suspending his account without explanation. His videos contained footage of activists speaking out at a city council meeting in Sacramento. Of course, it benefits YouTube and its owner Google greatly to have this technology in wide use throughout the country.
It is not unusual for Facebook to silence voices that threaten its own profits and those of its sponsors. Facebook recently blocked at least two anti-5G groups, one of which had 60,000 members. The groups were set up to unite people with concerns about the rollout of 5G.
Meanwhile, Children’s Health Defense, a nonprofit organization founded by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., filed a complaint against Facebook and CEO Mark Zuckerberg for censoring its posts by labeling claims about 5G as well as vaccines as containing “false information checked by independent fact checkers.” They also named Facebook’s fact checking partners – PolitiFact, Poynter Institute and Science Feedback – in the suit.
The media is also helping keep 5G concerns under wraps. When an international group of hundreds of scientists wrote a letter to the World Health Organization outlining serious concerns about the electromagnetic fields created by wireless devices, their efforts did not get a lot of media attention, despite identifying such serious dangers as a greater cancer risk, genetic damage, reproductive system changes, memory and learning deficits, neurological disorders and cellular stress. They also pointed out that EMF affects living creatures at levels that are quite lower than most guidelines.
5G is riskier than its predecessors
One thing that makes 5G particularly risky is its use of a shorter wavelength than the one that 4G networks use. Alarmingly, 5G networks use millimeter wavelengths that are not unlike those used in crowd control devices to make targets feel like their skin is burning. There has also been research showing that human sweat ducts essentially act like antennas that attract short millimeter waves, where they are absorbed into the body.
There’s also the fact that exposure to the EMF created by wireless devices will be unprecedented. First, because the short millimeter waves it uses cannot travel as far as longer waves, there will be significantly more small cell units installed to help create a 5G network. In some places, they may be installed every couple of houses, and they will all be emitting microwave radiation.
On top of that, the number of wireless devices in use is increasing dramatically. Smart cities are using wireless networks for collecting and analyzing data about everything from traffic and lighting to security, transit and parking, while people everywhere become increasingly reliant on their devices. In short, 5G is going to be everywhere pretty soon, and there won’t be a way for those who wish to avoid it to do so.
The roll-out of 5G has been planned for some time, along with the technology to sense and record human activity (including vaccination records), tied to a cryptocurrency system.Two microsoft employees own the patent on this system. It’s all tied to the upcoming COVID-19 vaccine, which isn’t needed and will most probably cause long-term damage: https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2020/11/08/covid-vaccines-will-make-people-more-sick/
These ‘digital certificates’ are human-implantable ‘QUANTUM-DOT TATTOOS’ that researchers at MIT and Rice University are working on as a way to hold vaccination records. It was last year in December when scientists from the two universities revealed that they were working on these quantum-dot tattoos after Bill Gates approached them about solving the problem of identifying those who have not been vaccinated.
Quote by Gates to the Financial Times:
“YOU DON’T HAVE A CHOICE. NORMALCY ONLY RETURNS WHEN WE’VE VACCINATED THE ENTIRE GLOBAL POPULATION.”
The implantable mark emits a glowing red X pattern as it delivers the vaccine and what is left behind is capable of data storage and retrieval for years afterwards.Smartphones are implicated:
“Detection of the microdots is possible using specially adapted smartphones that can detect the near-infrared fluorescence. ‘Because these phones offer on-board processing power, camera applications, and inexpensive consumer-grade camera modules, we chose to adapt an existing smartphone to enable NIR imaging rather than build a completely new imaging system,” they wrote. “In addition, we believe that familiarity with the function of these devices will lessen the learning curve for NIR imaging in a field setting.’” https://www.genengnews.com/topics/drug-discovery/quantum-dots-deliver-vaccines-and-invisibly-encode-vaccination-history-in-skin/
RESEARCHERS HAVE TURNED THIS TECHNOLOGY TO THE COVID-19 VIRUS.
PittCoVacc, short for Pittsburgh Coronavirus Vaccine uses lab-made pieces of viral protein to build immunity, similarly to current flu shots. What’s different is that it utilizes a microneedle array which increases potency. The patch goes on like a Band-Aid and then the needles — which are made entirely of sugar and the protein pieces — simply dissolve into the skin.
“Testing in patients would typically require at least a year and probably longer,” Falo said. “This particular situation is different from anything we’ve ever seen, so we don’t know how long the clinical development process will take. Recently announced revisions to the normal processes suggest we may be able to advance this faster.” https://www.upmc.com/media/news/040220-falo-gambotto-sars-cov2-vaccine
A 2019 MIT study funded by the Gates Foundation describes how “near-infrared quantum dots” can be implanted under the skin along with a vaccine to encode information for “decentralized data storage and bio-sensing.” https://sci-hub.tw/10.1126/scitranslmed.aay7162
ALL OF THIS STORED DATA NEEDS TO HAVE A SYSTEM BIG ENOUGH TO HANDLE IT. ENTER 5G.
Hopefully it is complete clear that this is NOT about a virus which has the mortality rate of the flu and successful treatments.
“Lyme denial-itis” is pervasive. It stole my daughter’s childhood.
Oct. 29, 2020
Janice Sutton gave the following remarks to the Tick-Borne Disease Working Group on October 27.
As a critical care nurse for over a decade, I saved lives, using current–not antiquated–science.
But when it came time to save my own 14-year-old daughter’s life from vector-borne diseases, that very same medical community neglected, abandoned, and even abused us.
Our medical nightmare included over 20 doctors in four states, including a children’s Lyme clinic, where they even missed the tell-tale Bartonella striations across her spine. She had a constellation of symptoms, including everything from low grade temp to “sudden onset” psychiatric symptoms.
This medical nightmare included many misdiagnoses, which were costly in time and money.
I was even slapped with a “Munchausen’s by Proxy” misdiagnosis. It was truly horrifying.
At 21, we now know her diagnoses: They are Bartonella henslae, quintana, dysautonomia, autoimmune dysfunction, encepholopathy and optic nerve ischemia. Although her childhood was stolen, she is now in the good hands of the doctors that I call “The Galileo Doctors.” She is now able to attend college part time.
I now personally know at least 30 physicians who suffer from the medical condition that I coined, “Lyme Denial-itis.” It is systemic and pervasive.
I’d like to ask some questions
Why does this denial still exist, despite evidential research to the contrary?
This denialism brings me to the New York Times article, “My Son Got Lyme Disease, He’s Fine.” It was such a dismissal of those who are not fine and still suffering, like my beautiful daughter.
Why aren’t doctors following the Health and Human Services mission statement –”to foster sustained advances” in science and medicine?
ADVANCES MEANS JUST THAT….. ADVANCES! Not to get stuck in what is, or what was. For example, the CDC still refuses to admit chronicity. I think seven years qualifies as chronic! Don’t you?
Why are physicians ignoring a whole category of vector-borne illnesses? This has severe ramifications regarding the health and wellbeing of Americans.
Doctors are only as good as their tool boxes, so let’s give them the tools they need to better help people.
So just as we know that the world is not flat and the earth does revolve around the sun. let us move the needle forward with regard to endemic vector-borne illnesses. In order to have a voice, you have to have a willing ear. Thank you so much for listening to me.
Janice Sutton lives in Rhode Island.

As the old statement goes, “You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make them drink,” we can’t force doctors to change. They need to be convinced that what they’ve been taught is inaccurate. This is only going to happen one of two ways: they will either experience Lyme/MSIDS first-hand (as often happens – making them some of the best doctors after feeling it acutely for themselves) OR they care enough to check their egos at the door and learn something new and be willing to admit they were wrong. In my experience #2 rarely happens. One thing’s for sure – Lyme/MSIDS isn’t going away and is only increasing in frequency.
While item #6 above looks good, unless we state we don’t want any more research with the moniker of ‘climate change,’ we will not see one cent going toward improving testing or treatment. This is such an important point to stress to both patients and advocates alike. The research dollars are scant and highly sought after. The Cabal continues to get these dollars and continues to do poorly designed studies OR they focus on the climate, which has been proven to be a mute point regarding tick proliferation.
The stringent criteria required for entrance into research studies of EM rash and positive serology is keeping the sickest out of the loop.
And we certainly don’t need any more climate data.
It is my opinion that working with the government on this is fruitless as 40 years of attempting it has proven. We need to do our own independent work utilizing researchers who are transparent and are willing to defy the accepted narrative. Those folks are few and hard to find. In my experience infected researchers find answers because it is much more than a pay-check to them.
Tony Fauci makes a point of saying the PCR COVID test is useless and misleading when the test is run at “35 cycles or higher.” A positive result, indicating infection, cannot be accepted or believed.
Here, in techno-speak, is an excerpt from Fauci’s key quote (starting at about the 4-minute mark [1]):
“…If you get [perform the test at] a cycle threshold of 35 or more… the chances of it being replication-confident [aka accurate] are miniscule… you almost never can culture virus [detect a true positive result] from a 37 threshold cycle…even 36…”
What Fauci failed to say on the video is: the FDA, which authorizes the test for public use, recommends the test should be run up to 40 cycles. Not 35.
Therefore, all labs in the US that follow the FDA guideline are knowingly or unknowingly participating in fraud. Fraud on a monstrous level, because millions of Americans are being told they are infected with the virus on the basis of a false positive result, and the total number of COVID cases in America — which is based on the test — is a gross falsity. (See link for article)
The entire COVID-19 house of cards is built upon this faulty testing which is designed to drastically inflate case numbers.
Rapport’s evidence is found on the FDA website:in a document titled [2]: “CDC 2019-Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel For Emergency Use Only.” See page 35.
FDA: “…a specimen is considered positive for 2019-nCoV [virus] if all 2019-nCoV marker (N1, N2) cycle threshold growth curves cross the threshold line within 40.00 cycles (< 40.00 Ct).”
“Most tests set the limit at 40 [cycles]. A few at 37.”
The Times:“This number of amplification cycles needed to find the virus, called the cycle threshold, is never included in the results sent to doctors and coronavirus patients…”
The labs purposely won’t reveal their collusion.
Rapport states this should be taken to court. I agree.
Regarding facemasks, Dr. Fauci stated back in May that masks might make people ‘feel better’ but that they often create unintended consequences. He also states they don’t provide perfect protection.
Of course he reversed this some time later because the fear narrative had to be pushed. The fact the largest study on face masks has been rejected by 3 journals tells you of the major spin doctoring going on:
A 4-year-old girl presented to the emergency department with right leg pain and associated limp for one day. There was no trauma or injury; she had no fever or recent illness. Her exam was notable for tenderness and swelling to the right knee, most prominent in the popliteal region. Initial laboratory testing was unremarkable except for a mildly elevated C-reactive protein. She had normal radiographs of the right lower extremity. A soft tissue ultrasound demonstrated popliteal lymphadenopathy, a rare finding in children. Reassessment of the patient revealed cat flea bites to the leg, which prompted concern for Bartonella henselae infection causing Cat-scratch Disease (CSD). The patient was treated empirically with Azithromycin and her Bartonella titers returned two days later consistent with active infection. This is a rare clinical report describing popliteal lymphadenitis and lower extremity arthropathy caused by Bartonella henselae infection secondary to cat flea bites.
