Professor Ehud Qimron: “Ministry of Health, it’s time to admit failure” Professor Ehud Qimron (center) at Tel Aviv University ( Haaretz ) Professor Ehud Qimron, head of the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at Tel Aviv University and one of the leading Israeli immunologists, has written an open letter sharply criticizing the Israeli – and indeed global – management of the coronavirus pandemic. Original letter in Hebrew :  N12 News  (January 6, 2022); translated by Google/SPR.  See also:  Professor Qimron’s prediction from August 2020:  “History will judge the hysteria”  (INN). ∗∗∗ Ministry of Health, it’s time to admit failure The truth about the coronavirus policy is about to be revealed. When the destructive concepts collapse one by one, there is nothing left but to tell the experts who led the management of the pandemic – we told you so. Two years late, you finally realize that a respiratory virus cannot be defeated and that any such attempt is doomed to fail. You do not adm

more perspective on sweden and the lies we were told a preliminary look at 2021 full year all cause mortality el gato malo measuring covid has, over the course of this pandemic, been devilishly difficult. definitions vary widely, some places count far more inclusively than others, and nearly everyone has tested to the point of OCD exhaustion using oversensitive assays that have turned data to debacle. covid deaths have become nearly uncountable in any meaningful sense and have been vastly exaggerated to great media and policy effect but to even greater epidemiological and public health detriment. a bad map rapidly becomes worse than no map at all. this is why we need to fall back on the tried and true tests and data that have not been adulterated by these manifold machinations and manipulations. all cause mortality is that data. you died or you didn’t. it’s a binary that everyone measures the same way and it’s pretty hard to argue about. this final count contains all trade offs. if loc

So here we are, nigh on two years since all of this began, depending on your geographical location. A lot has happened over the past two years and a great many control mechanisms and divisive tactics have been enacted against the human population of this world. Where it ends, is anyone's guess but I'm willing to bet that it won't be what we think or to our liking. Over the course of this global operation (and for decades before), we have seen an attack on thought, logic, common sense, morals, history, science and the very definition of what it is to be human. We have been hypnotized by the media, the medical establishment (which long ago lost its soul and subjected itself to 'protocol') and coerced and threatened by our very own governments as they hurl their monopoly on violence towards the very people they claim to 'protect' and 'serve'. At which point does one have that "Whoa, that's not right" moment and begin to realiz

A Pandemic of Bureaucracy TE Creus Some compare corona times to the novel  1984 , but I thought that perhaps Terry Gilliam’s  Brazil  could be an even more apt comparison. In that movie, the totalitarian nightmare is coordinated by bumbling and incompetent bureaucrats, who nevertheless never give up in their indefatigable pursuit of more paperwork. If there was one thing that this damn pandemic sure increased was bureaucracy. To travel, to meet people, or even to have a cup of coffee somewhere, anywhere, now you need to show your “papers” — or, at any rate, a QR-code in your smartphone. I traveled to Italy during the “first wave” of the pandemic — or was it already the second? It’s hard to recall, there were so many. At the time, the bureaucrats had invented some kind of contact tracing form that everyone needed to fill before boarding a plane, however there were four or five different forms available, and confusion reigned. People weren’t sure which form to fill or how to fill it, and

No. Despite the fact that some people may
