Dear authorities. We’re on to you.
Do you really think we believe your policies have anything to do with fighting a virus?
If this were truly about stopping a virus, you would not ignore data that clearly shows natural immunity is superior. You would celebrate this as a victory of the human immune system over the virus, and communicate it with joy to your fear-stricken populace.
If this were truly about stopping a virus, you would not silence, ostracize, and vilify scientists and doctors who publish papers or share clinical observations that do not fit your agenda. You would embrace input from any and all available sides, and encourage open scientific debate and information gathering, which can only advance our knowledge.
If this were truly about stopping a virus, you would listen to doctors and scientists making desperate cries of warning and pointing out alarming safety signals when we’re doing the wrong thing, instead of silencing them and having your media shills portray them as fringe lunatics.
If this were truly about stopping a virus, you would not shield pharmaceutical companies from liability, or deflect scrutiny away from them, or give them the slightest iota of a free pass. Given the potential for blatant (and unsafe) profiteering, and their criminal history, you would hold pharma companies to an even higher degree of scrutiny, rake them over the coals with tough questions, and force them to reveal unavailable data about their products.
If this were truly about stopping a virus, you would be in favor of any and all paths to immunity, not just the pharmaceutical-only path. You would make it known that there is an alarming correlation between vitamin D-deficiency and poor health outcomes with the virus, and you would encourage everyone to something so cheap and easy it boggles the rational mind that it is not item number A1 in any discussion of viruses and contagion: up their vitamin D levels.
If this were truly about stopping a virus, you would be scientifically curious about who the healthiest people are in society, and why they are only mildly affected by the virus, and you would try to replicate their immune-boosting activities and lifestyle choices across your population. You would also recognize that these healthy people did not achieve their health by following the health conventions of a generally unhealthy populace, but by defying them. Your mantra would not be: “Do As We Say” but: “Do as the healthy people do.”
If this were truly about stopping a virus, you wouldn’t suppress or withhold alternative treatments, make up fake news stories about them, or censor those who discuss them. You would welcome such treatments, celebrate the doctors who discovered and used them, and make their protocols widely known and available.
If this were truly about stopping a virus, you would recognize that a keystone principle of health and medicine is that individual circumstances matter, and not try to apply a blanket, one-size-fits-all solution which will certainly not fit, and outright harm, some people.
If this were truly about stopping a virus, you would ay attention to data which shows when lockdown policies, masks, and medications have no effect on the virus, and pay attention to places with different policies that are working. You would not use the media to trash places like Sweden who have followed the protocol that we have always followed for contagions of this type, and who are now enjoying normal life again, with only 1% of people masking, full shops, trains, and restaurants, and who are wondering what in hell the rest of the planet is doing, and why.
If this were truly about stopping a virus, you would not scapegoat and vilify those who refuse to comply with your policies or who point out their flaws, you would listen to them and realize when your policies are causing more harm than good. You would not intimidate them with mandates and passports, which your health authorities have admitted serve no epidemiological use, but instead serve only to intimidate people into compliance.
In fact, you would not use force and threats and fear as a behavioral manipulation tactic, but persuasion and explanation, treating your populace like rational, thinking adults, instead of mindless cattle.
But none of this is really about stopping a virus, is it?
You have a story to tell.
The story goes: “Our policies are flawless. They are beyond reproach or scrutiny. Therefore, sickness, disease, and contagion are the sole fault of the uncompliant.”
Speaking for the uncompliant… we’re on to you.
We’re aware of the lies, the censorship, the media manipulation. We’re aware that this has very little to do with science, or rationality, or doing what is best to ensure the best health outcomes, and everything to do with profit, and politics, and power.
Your desperation is showing. How can you make your experiment unchallengeable? Eliminate the control group. We know this is your aim. It’s beyond obvious.
Your patience is wearing thin?
Can you even conceive of how thin the patience is of an embattled populace, out of work, businesses eradicated, whose children’s lives have been robbed of education and basic joy? Who have unnecessarily lost loved ones because you forbade cheap, easy treatments? And whom you now, incredibly, blame for disease, rather than your own supposedly flawless, unquestioned (and unquestionable) policies? And whom you now threaten with the removal of their careers and livelihoods and ability to travel unless they comply with those policies?
You’re ending the careers of pilots, doctors, nurses, soldiers, firefighters… the very skilled professionals who thanklessly keep you and everyone safe.
You’ve lost your patience?
The people can match you chapter and verse.
We’re on to you.
Continue on this path, please.
All you’re doing is waking millions more people to your tyranny.
And making defiance that much easier.
