Has herd immunity been reached? You bet. The public in most countries was well and truly immunised against any logical and rational thought soon after governments began their fear mongering propaganda campaigns.
Are the lockdown measures we are experiencing required? No. Of course not.
Switzerland is one of the hardest hit countries when it came to the spread of COVID-19, and it was also a country to introduce a lockdown quite early. This article by Swiss Prof. Dr. Pietro Vernazza suggests that lockdown measures have really nothing to do with flattening the curve which our politicians, aided and abetted by a clueless and complicit media, want us to believe.
Mr Vernazza himself expresses some astonishment when he realised that the reproduction rate had fallen to about 1 days before lockdown measures were introduced on 13 March. Fascinating, isn’t it?
And that’s not all. Germany’s renowned and partially Bill Gates funded Robert Koch Institut found exactly the same for that country. The reproduction rate R was below 1 even before that country was turned into a police state.
But even that’s not all. An increasing number of other epidemiologists and medical experts (none of those are quacks for sure) have spoken out against these extreme lockdown measures.
Me being the curious type I thought what about the prison I live in, Australiad? Well, I just stumbled across a report dated 14 April by the Doherty Institute, covering data up to 4 April. Seems to me that reproduction rates were never really high here in any of the states, not even at the time when the authoritarian regime began here on 15 March. Indeed, they state this:
And here are the graphs:
Doesn’t look like convincing evidence that a total lockdown of society is called for.
So assuming that the government and its wise advisors who should have access to the best and latest data and who should also the best researches in the land, why were we and why are we still being told that these lockdown measures are essential? Why are we being told that they are effective when there is no proof? And why are we being told we must reduce the measures slowly and carefully, step by step? Is it perhaps because they know that keeping an entire population cooped up for weeks and months will weaken their immune system and allow all sorts of bugs to cause illness? That’s just another predictable negative consequence of these insane lockdown measures.
According to this Sydney Morning Herald article the Doherty Institute is advising the government, but why do they seemingly contradict and advise against their own findings?
Interestingly, Australia’s own pandemic master plan doesn’t suggest such draconian lockdown measures were ever part of the arsenal in the first place, another interesting morsel of information you’d never find in your ordinary daily media soup. At least that’s my reading, but see for yourself:
Mind you, this plan appears to be at least partially based on the WHO’s own October 2019 document, Non-pharmeceutical public health measures for mitigating the risk and impact of epidemic and pandemic influenza. Neither of these documents contemplate a complete lockdown of society, and the WHO documents makes it clear that there is very weak evidence of many of the measures that are being sold to us as being absolutely essential right now.
And even the Australian Department of Health emergency response plan published on 18 February did not contemplate such draconian measures as were subsequently implemented. Nor did the short form response plan published 23 March, only a week before the full lockdown was imposed.
So what the hell is going on here?
I don’t have an answer, we may find out one day why such irrational and disproportionate measures were implemented all over the world, but for now we’re left guessing.
Is it a globalist push? Not far fetched at all, given statements such as this by Former UK PM Gordon Brown, and this by chief war mongerer Henry Kissinger. The most obvious statement is this from China based Spiegel correspondent Bernard Zand:
If climate change and the migration tragedies we have witnessed in recent years didn’t make it obvious enough, COVID-19 is demonstrating it day in and day out: In crises like this one, some form of global government is needed, as premature and incomplete is it might end up being, given the pressures created by the unending slew of bad news.

Or is it a convenient opportunity seized, aimed at resetting a hopelessly debt-driven economy so the next cycle of capitalist madness can begin? Maybe.
The reality is that governments the world over are chronically underfunding their health systems, including the Australian Government, as the Australian Medical Association lamented only 15 months ago. Any sign of a pandemic, which for some reason was made out to be incredibly deadly (although it was quite obvious early on that it was nowhere near as deadly as initially claimed) could send world leaders into panic and re-election protection mode? Plausible, I think. Imagine how bad it would look for them if their health systems were overwhelmed.
Perhaps overreacting was somehow seen as the safe political choice (no, they really don’t care about you!). They surely would be blamed if this situation got out of hand, but nobody would be able to blame them if they acted, even if they over-reacted. They acted in good faith, to “save lives”, they will say. Yeah right. They are heroes, right? Never mind they are putting many more lives at risk by imposing such extreme measures.
The only thing that’s clearer than ever is that homo sapiens sapiens can so easily turn into homo stupiens stupiens.
Sure, politicians are only humans, usually not of the most trustworthy kind, but with a whole propaganda machinery at their disposal they were suddenly the saviours and able to hoodwink entire populations into believing that Armageddon was upon us and that acting in such a headless way was precisely the way to go. The population was shocked into submission (remember shock and awe?), nobody asked questions, nobody did proper science, nobody kept a cool head, so it seems. There was just a whole lot of finger pointing and grandstanding, the perfect distractions.
But the biggest question of all is: who was the genius who had the bright idea that placing all of humanity into self isolation was better than, oh let’s see, do what’s been done and has worked before, namely isolate the sick and the risk groups, take care of them?
So perhaps it’s simply a matter of monkey see monkey do, as China completely locked down city after city in January and February?
Well, actually some people kept a cool head, practiced science, and didn’t believe the hype, amongst them some really well regarded medical experts, including epidemiologists, but those voices were and remain suppressed to this day. Just like with the climate issue, in this new crisis any critical voices of reason are systematically silenced, ignored, ridiculed.
That leads me to only one conclusion: we’re not being told the truth.
But with a herd that has reached immunity to critical thought and commonsense, why would our rulers care? They’ve got this (and you) in the bag.
