COVID Minutia

What follows are a couple of items on COVID that demonstrate the attempts by our “betters” to control the narrative surrounding the virus.  Both show a manipulation of various “standards” to produce a storyline that reflects the desires of “Big” people, Tech, Media, etc.

The first piece is from Target Liberty’s website.  It relates a little noticed change recommended by the CDC last month into how COVID infections should be recognized.  Specifically the CDC stated that testing for COVID in cases occurring in a vaccinated patient more than 14 days after completion of the vaccination regimen should not exceed a 28-cycle multiplication factor.

Now last year the multiplication factor for the PCR test was 40 in most cases.  Aside from the fact that the PCR method was never designed for such use, the NYTimes had shown last year that such a multiplication factor was essentially useless.  False positives were the order of the day when the PCR test was being used at this level.

The inventor of PCR, Kary Mullis, said not to use PCR for diagnosing disease.  Dr.Fauci at one point said that a cycle count over 35 produces useless results at the same time the government advised using a count of 40, clearly abuse of this technology.

Flim flam is the only way to describe this.  As Bob Roddis noted:

Before the vaccines, the incentive was to maximize the number of “cases” to maximize the level of hysteria. With the vaccines, the incentive is to minimize the number of “cases” to convince the rabble that the vaccines actually work.

The lowered threshold is only for testing people who have had the vaccine.  It is the same threshold used in the vaccine trials to show the “effectiveness” of the vaccines.

The other half of this manipulation of data is below.  Vaccine breakthrough cases are just that.  These are situations where a person contracts COVID after having been jabbed.  Again, the CDC seems to be trying to reduce the data points surfacing that would be negative for the process of being on the receiving end of a jab from an unapproved medicine.

This is just nonsense.  At a time when all of this data is computerized and easily filtered based on specific factors, there is no reason to stop collecting all the data that was collected last year.  All of this points to the CDC trying to paint the rosiest picture possible regarding the unapproved vaccines.  Why?  It couldn’t have anything to do with the fact that people who had COVID are more likely to have adverse reactions to the jab, would it?

The second item in this post relates to a presentation made by a mother to a school board regarding the wearing of masks for young children.  Once again, I am thankful to Dr. Tom Woods for his efforts in this area.  Dr. Woods reported:

Last month you may have seen a video featuring a Georgia mother named Courtney Ann Taylor demanding that the local school board drop the ridiculous mask requirement.

My friend Tom Elliott, whom I got to know when I used to fill in on Peter Schiff’s old radio show (Tom was the producer), spread the video around via his Grabien media service.

YouTube decided to take it down.

As Tom described YouTube’s response to the video, “Mothers having opinions about whether their children should be forced into masks ‘violates our community guidelines’ and our ‘medical misinformation policy.'”

Nothing in what she said contradicts what the World Health Organization says about masking children under 12. Here are her exact words:

Every month I come here and I hear the same thing: social, emotional health. If you truly mean that, you would end the mask requirement tonight. Tonight! This is not March 2020 anymore. We have three vaccines, every adult in the state of Georgia that wants that vaccine is eligible to get it right now, and every one of us knows that young children are not affected by this virus. They’re not. And that’s a blessing.

But as the adults, what have we done with that blessing? We’ve showed it to the side and we said, “We don’t care, you’re still going to wear a mask on your face every day, 5- and 6-year-olds. You still can’t play together on the playground like normal children, 7- and 8-year-olds. We don’t care. We’re still going to force you to carry a burden that was never yours to carry.” Shame on us! My 6-year-old looks at me every month before I come here, she says, “Are you going to tell them tonight? Tell them I don’t want to wear this anymore.” And I say, “Baby, it’s not time to fight that battle yet.” I try to explain that there’s so many things, that it’s April 15th, 2021, and it’s time. Take these masks off my child.

And I know what I’m going to be met with: but Ms. Taylor, the CDC. We did not vote for people at the CDC. We did create leaders who do create policy. We elected the five of you. We chose you to make difficult decisions for our children. We chose you to make decisions that would be in our children’t best interest. And forcing 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9-year-old little children to cover their noses and their mouths, where they breathe, for 7 hours a day, every day for the last nine months, for a virus that you know doesn’t affect them, that is not in their best interest. This has to stop. Defend our children. My 6-year-old can’t come up here and say this. It has to stop. Take these off our children.

YouTube took that video down to keep everyone “safe.”

As Tom Elliott says:

Parents are allowed to express opinions over whether their children should be forced into wearing masks. Parents’ perspectives are a valid part of the public debate. This mother does not represent herself as a doctor or medical expert.

Incidentally the WHO agrees with this mother that there is currently no scientific basis for compelling all children to wear masks indoors/outdoors as a measure to stop the spread of Covid. So YouTube’s “medical misinformation” claim is entirely false.

I appealed, noting there’s nothing in the WHO guidance this mother is contradicting (supposedly the basis of the video being taken offline). YouTube has already rejected the appeal. Apparently the platform must remain “safe” from concerned mothers:

Of course, YouTube’s actions have nothing to do with keeping the public safe.  It is all about controlling what information the public is allowed to hear regardless of its veracity.  Big Tech must control the public.  The way to do this is to censure any and all information that is contrary to the controlling narrative.  Failing to do so may allow the public to discern that Big Tech, Big Media and elite politicians have only their own self interest at heart.  That might be disastrous for the oligarchies that want to control the world.
