Lockdown Lunacy summary

[JB Handley authored a brilliant detailed fully referenced piece entitled “LOCKDOWN LUNACY: the thinking person’s guide“. For those who are not willing or able to take the time to read, I’ve distilled JB Handley’s 16 points for an overview. My few comments are contained in [brackets], everything else is from the original. This condensed version still amounts to about 4 pages, yet only skims the surface of the rich information provided in the original. Becky Hastings]

  • Fact #1: The Infection Fatality Rate for COVID-19 is somewhere between 0.07-0.20%, in line with seasonal flu. [So, roughly 99.3% of people who test positive and develop symptoms related to covid, recover fully].
  • Fact #2: The risk of dying from COVID-19 is much higher than the average IFR for older people and those with co-morbidities, and much lower than the average IFR for younger healthy people, and nearing zero for children.
  • Fact #3: People infected with COVID-19 who are asymptomatic (which is most people) do NOT spread COVID-19.
  • Fact #4: Emerging science shows no spread of COVID-19 in the community (shopping, restaurants, barbers, etc.). 
  • Fact #5: Published science shows COVID-19 is NOT spread outdoors
  • Fact #6: Science shows masks are ineffective to halt the spread of COVID-19, and The WHO recommends they should only be worn by healthy people if treating or living with someone with a COVID-19 infection
  • Fact #7: There’s no science to support the magic of a six-foot barrier.
  • Fact #8: The idea of locking down an entire society had never been done and has no supportable science, only theoretical modeling.
  • Fact #9: The epidemic models of COVID-19 have been disastrously wrong, and both the people and the practice of modeling has a terrible history.
  • Fact #10: The data shows that lockdowns have NOT had an impact on the course of the disease.
  • Fact #11: Florida locked down late, opened early, and is doing fine, despite predictions of doom.
  • Fact #12: New York’s above average death rate appears to be driven by a fatal policy error combined with aggressive intubations.
  • Fact #13: Public health officials and disease epidemiologists do NOT consider the other negative societal consequences of lockdowns.
  • Fact #14: There is a predictive model for the viral arc of COVID-19, it’s called Farr’s Law, and it was discovered over 100 years ago.
  • Fact #15: The lockdowns will cause more death and destruction than COVID-19 ever did.
  • Fact #16: All these phased re-openings are utter nonsense with no science to support them, but they will all be declared a success.

How the hell did we get here?

Now what?

What should be done is so damn simple, IMO, but it never will, because too many people would have to admit they were wrong. But, I’ll say it anyway. My policy recommendation: remove 100% of newly created lockdown rules, secure nursing homes using Florida’s approach, tell everyone with an active COVID-19 infection to stay home until symptoms resolve or wear a mask if they need to go out in public, and encourage everyone else to wash their hands. Done deal. 

I saved one of my favorite quotes for last from Karolinska Institute’s Johan Giesecke (no surprise he’s Swedish), from an essay that appeared in early May in The Lancet:

These facts have led me to the following conclusions. Everyone will be exposed to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, and most people will become infected. COVID-19 is spreading like wildfire in all countries, but we do not see it—it almost always spreads from younger people with no or weak symptoms to other people who will also have mild symptoms. This is the real pandemic, but it goes on beneath the surface, and is probably at its peak now in many European countries. There is very little we can do to prevent this spread: a lockdown might delay severe cases for a while, but once restrictions are eased, cases will reappear. I expect that when we count the number of deaths from COVID-19 in each country in 1 year from now, the figures will be similar, regardless of measures taken.

Measures to flatten the curve might have an effect, but a lockdown only pushes the severe cases into the future —it will not prevent them. Admittedly, countries have managed to slow down spread so as not to overburden health-care systems, and, yes, effective drugs that save lives might soon be developed, but this pandemic is swift, and those drugs have to be developed, tested, and marketed quickly. Much hope is put in vaccines, but they will take time, and with the unclear protective immunological response to infection, it is not certain that vaccines will be very effective.

In summary, COVID-19 is a disease that is highly infectious and spreads rapidly through society. It is often quite symptomless and might pass unnoticed, but it also causes severe disease, and even death, in a proportion of the population, and our most important task is not to stop spread, which is all but futile, but to concentrate on giving the unfortunate victims optimal care.

If you made it this far, thank you. You now share my burden in knowing the facts about Lockdown Lunacy. And, thank you to the many courageous medical professionals and scientists who are taking serious risk to their careers to publicly tell the truth. If you’d like to stay abreast of this complex topic, I recommend the Twitter feeds of both Aaron Ginn and Alex Berenson, they are a welcome respite from “Team Apocalypse.”

A personal note: Compared to the topic I usually write about—the scientific fact that vaccines can trigger autism in a vulnerable sub-set of children—writing about the lockdown madness is a walk in the park, because so many intelligent people have reached the same conclusion I have reached. I wish many of them would see the parallels to the roaring autism epidemic: good science is shunned or censored, the media browbeats dissenters, special interests prevail, parents are never listened to and doctors who speak up are labeled as “Quacks”…and the autism epidemic continues unabated.

Let’s Compare Health…

Vaccinated versus non-vaccinated. A simple study. Track children who receive all vaccines, some vaccines, or no vaccines. Compare their short and long term health outcomes. What do we learn?

  • This is the study that millions of people with concerns about vaccine safety have been requesting for decades.
  • This is the study that the CDC and all government health bodies have refused to perform for decades. Or, if they have done such a study, they refuse to openly publish the results.
  • This is the study that all pharmaceutical companies involved in the manufacture of vaccines do not want to see published. Vaccine manufacturers currently are able to produce a product which the CDC and pediatricians urge on the public, yet face zero legal liability if that product is defective or harmful.
  • This study could easily reveal the true risks versus benefits of vaccines.
  • This very study has been happening for decades on an informal basis. Thousands of parents have inadvertently participated in a study of vaccinated versus non vaccinated children. After witnessing firsthand the devastating impact of vaccines on one child, they limit or refuse vaccines for subsequent children and note clear differences in health outcomes.
  • This informal study is documented in great detail in Vaxxed II: The People’s truth.

BUT finally, there is a peer reviewed scientifically valid, well designed study analyzing data comparing health outcomes of vaccinated versus non-vaccinated children. Dr Brian Hooker’s paper co authored with Neil Miller was published in Sage Open Medicine in May 2020 and is also available on Pub Med here. [1]

OR (odds ratio). Read the original study here.

Robert Kennedy Jr does a great job of breaking down this study for the lay person here, noting “Results show that vaccination before one year of age led to significantly increased odds of medical diagnoses of developmental delays, asthma and ear infections in children.”

This study adds to a growing robust body of evidence showing the adverse impact of vaccines on children. The Children’s Health Defense has compiled nearly 60 studies that find vaccinated cohorts to be far sicker than their unvaccinated peers. I highly urge you to check out this excellent resource compiled by CHD. All doctors need to read these studies prior to injecting vaccines into any more children.

Now is the time for the ACIP to reevaluate their vaccine recommendations, for doctors to learn the true risks, and for parents to understand how vaccines may impact their precious baby’s longterm health and well-being.

At the very least, more study needs to be done ASAP!

Yet, what sort of reaction do you think we can expect? Historically the establishment reaction has typically been for: 1) doctors to remain unaware; 2) news media to ignore; 3) detractors to criticize or mount a smear campaign; 4) CDC to remain resolute in all their current recommendations.

Key role players have much to lose when vaccines are fully exposed to the light of scientific truth. However, there is a shift occurring. More and more parents are realizing that the government does not always have the best interests of the public in mind. Now is the time to spread the news of this recent study and challenge the orthodoxy blindly committed to repeating an inaccurate mantra claiming that ‘vaccines are safe and effective.”

The body of evidence is mounting. Vaccines are causing a great deal of harm. Parents need factual information to assess the true risk versus any possible benefit BEFORE they agree to accept vaccines. Pre-term babies should especially NOT be subjected to early or on schedule vaccines. At the very least parents can avoid all hepatitis B vaccines for babies under 1 year old.

Dr Anthony Mawson’s small study showed a clear synergist increase in premature babies who received vaccines and neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD).[2]

Under the currently recommended pediatric vaccination schedule
[7], U.S. children receive up to 48 doses of vaccines for 14 diseases
from birth to age six years, a figure that has steadily increased since
the 1950s, most notably since the Vaccines for Children program
was created in 1994. The Vaccines for Children program began with
vaccines targeting nine diseases: diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, polio,
Haemophilus influenzae type b disease, hepatitis B, measles, mumps,
and rubella. Between 1995 and 2013, new vaccines against five other
diseases were added for children age 6 and under: varicella, hepatitis A,
pneumococcal disease, influenza, and rotavirus vaccine.
Although short-term immunologic and safety testing is performed
on vaccines prior to their approval by the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration, the long-term effects of individual vaccines and of
the vaccination program itself remain unknown…

In conclusion, vaccinated homeschool children were found to have a higher rate of allergies and NDD than unvaccinated homeschool children. While vaccination remained significantly associated with NDD after controlling for other factors, preterm birth coupled with vaccination was associated with an apparent synergistic increase in the odds of NDD. Further research involving larger, independent samples and stronger research designs is needed to verify and understand these unexpected findings in order to optimize the impact of vaccines on children’s health.[2]

Anthony Mawson’s extreme reasonableness and cautious urge for further research involving larger samples, was duly taken on by Dr Brian Hooker. Additional serious study of a much larger sample could easily be performed using the CDCs extensive data base, yet so far, all requests have been ignored.

As ASD rates skyrocket, it is apparent to many that the harm caused by vaccines is of a far greater magnitude than the currently hyped up health threat labeled covid-19.

The REAL epidemic

One in every 16 Irish boys has autism: Crisis worse than COVID-19 and nobody cares.

Robert Kennedy Jr gets straight to the heart of the issue in this hard hitting piece published on 28 May 2020. His law firm has vast experience in taking on large corporations profiting by taking advantage of average people. He speaks clearly and has many times asked for those he speaks against to take him to court. So far he seems to have no one challenge his claims. Some outrageous statements made by Mr Kennedy in this piece would be libelous if they were not true:

  1. Tony Fauci has played a key role in covering up the harm caused by giving vaccines to babies under 6 months.
  2. In 2009 NIH’s Autism Coordinating Committee voted in $16 million to study the links between autism and vaccines but Tom Insel killed the studies. (Studies to determine the safety of injecting babies and toddlers with 38 vaccines by age 2 have NEVER been planned or implemented.)
  3. Fauci and Insel have committed some of the most consequential criminal conspiracies in history. Children’s Health Defense will bring these criminals to justice.
  4. The autism crisis dwarfs COVID-19.
  5.  CDC’s massive 1999 study of the VSD—America’s largest medical database—showed that children receiving the Hep B vaccine in their first 30 days had an 1135% increased risk for an autism diagnosis. CDC and Pharma knew at that moment that vaccines were causing the epidemic.
  6. Individuals charged with protecting public health “hid the VSD study, closed the database to independent scientists and commissioned a sketchy cabal of tobacco scientists, grifters, felons and Pharma biostitutes to gin up dozens of fraudulent vaccine studies purporting to “prove that vaccines don’t cause autism.”

Do you see any sort of a pattern? Do government agencies charged with protecting public health have any concern for the health and wellbeing of babies and children?

The media keeps tight control on information available to the public. Media is supported primarily by pharmaceutical advertising.

Doctors are trained in the pharmaceutical dominated system. They receive very little in-depth information on the realities of vaccine induced illnesses raging amongst children. Their careers are established on ‘going along with the standards of care’. Doctors asking questions or expressing concern are reminded of the fate of such a stance through the example of Andrew Wakefield.

Parents read reassuring information touting vaccine safety and trust the ‘experts’. Doctors are trained in techniques to push (sometimes bully) parents into compliance.

Babies and children experience immense harm.

Families are left with the responsibility of dealing with the devastation. All stakeholders involved in promoting and pushing vaccines are 100% liability free.

Politicians ignore massive attempts by parents to inform them. THOUSANDS of parents have made the rounds of offices in their states. Well informed parents present scientific information and true stories of the harm caused by vaccines and are ignored. Bills have been passed against vaccine exemptions for school under the guise of ‘protecting public health’ by politicians firmly bought out by pharmaceutical interests. California, New York, and Maine have recently passed legislation removing religious exemptions for children to attend school. For many years only Mississippi and West Virginia had such stiff laws, where many parents have been working trying to add religious exemptions..

Fighting this epidemic is important. We cannot stand idly by and watch millions of children being led as lambs to the slaughter. Each one reach one. Lovingly share the reality of the vaccine epidemic with as many as you can. Ask God to show you who, when, where, how. Know a few facts and urge those you are speaking with to investigate this topic more than any other aspect of life as they bring a new life into the world. New parents need all the FACTS. Christians need to know that accepting vaccines means injecting human DNA from aborted babies. Everyone needs to know how injecting foreign DNA impacts the body. Injecting known toxic substances into our most vulnerable needs to be questioned.

More people are waking up to the reality of vaccine harm than ever before. The current ‘crisis’ has been a turning point for many.

The main stream media are pushing a vaccine as the “real solution” for COVID-19. This demonstrates flawed thinking and perhaps a long term agenda by some. God reigns supreme over all governments and authorities. God uses His people to bring light to this dark world. I pray He will use us to protect children. God desires His people to be fruitful and multiple. Taking care of our children, protecting them from the wiles of the enemy, is our most significant task.
