I don't know what all the truth of covid is, but I sure-as-shootin' know a pack of lies when I hear them. I observed the following:
1. The 'discovery' of the virus happened late in the day on 31 December. This means nothing in and of itself, just that it's a big red flag screaming out 'EXPERIMENT!!' 2. After a grand total of only one (yes, count them: 1 ) casualty, and all other (and non-fatal, mind you) cases all limited to one city, a worldwide pandemic was declared. There was no factual basis for making that claim. 3. Then the race was on for a military exercise to 'rescue' certain individuals from the Wuhan quarantine. So you can stop the spread of the disease? Really?? (At this point, it's '3 strikes, you're out!' but the band played on...) 4. The virus was found to have a gestation period lasting up to 3 weeks - so the length of quarantine was set at 14 days. Yes, that's right: symptoms might not appear until up to 22 days after exposure, so if we don't see any in the first 14, we'll let you go. Help me out here: how does one do good reliable science without the skills of basic arithmetic? 5. Okay, lock the whole country down in quarantine for a couple of weeks if you think that'll help. But do you really have to have every news media in the country announce it again and again and again at 5 minute intervals for months on end? That policy of relentless repetition alone meant the message is pure propaganda. 6. Stock up on toilet paper? Really? If we run out of that stuff, we can use a wet cloth and wash it out after. The general lack of interest in non-perishable food items and basic first-aid supplies was astoundingly absurd. 7. Border patrols were a sham. There was a big holy show of blocking the highways and bridges crossing the interprovincial borders, but a show was all it was. I live in Ontario and work in Quebec, and after the initial panic lockdown (once my employer became listed as an 'essential service') I went back to work. I must have crossed that border no less than 200 times and never once met a patrol because where I cross is not a major highway. 8. People everywhere around me were testing for the virus. A great many tests came back positive, but very few of them ever developed symptoms and NOBODY died. How much of a threat is the disease if you can be infected with it and not even get sick, much less die from it? 9. When the vaccines showed up, vaccinated people were still required to do the mask-and-glove thing. WHY?
This is just a sample of what I noticed that all added up to one inescapable conclusion: there is something blatantly dishonest at work here, so the vaccines should not be trusted. Long before they were even introduced, my wife and I had made up our minds not to accept them. When the local hospital called to schedule our vaccine appointments she told them to go get stuffed, and then promptly hung up the phone. We were never approached about it again.
