WATCH: Perspectives on the Pandemic #6

“The big issue is people suffering…the collateral damage appears more significant than the damage being caused by the actual disease.”

When Dr. Dan Erickson and Dr. Antin Massihi held a press conference on April 22nd about the results of testing they conducted at their urgent care facilities around Bakersfield, California, the video, uploaded by a local ABC news affiliate, went viral.

After reaching five million views, YouTube took it down on the grounds that it “violated community standards.” [You can view it on our BitChute channel here – ed.]

Journey Pictures followed up with the doctors to determine what was so dangerous about their message.

The Interviewer: John Kirby is the director of FOUR DIED TRYING, a feature documentary and series on the major assassinations of the 1960’s and their calamitous impact on the country. To join the struggle for justice for Dr. King, Malcolm X, and John and Robert Kennedy.

Can someone tell me: how do we know that the genetic code identified by the rtPCR test for SARS-CoV-2 isn’t the same code found in other coronaviruses? From what I understand, the test detects fragmentary RNA, the samples that produced this RNA were never subjected to Koch’s Postulate (purified, cultured, used to infect a susceptible lab animal, then extracted, purified and cultured again, which proves that the exact virus is actually causing the symptoms), and I also understand that coronaviruses are so ubiquitous that they can be found in any human population, any time of year, at a background rate of about 15%. So… how do we know the test is actually detecting SARS-CoV-2?

Yes, I too have been trying to find answers to this.

Also, when was the very first time in Wuhan in China that a test kit to detect the Cov-2 virus used? Who approved that test kit? What trials were conducted to clear that test kit?

How can people still arguing that the lockdown did not work?
I am a scientist working with the Covid19. One of the fist epidemiological rules in case of an epidemic or pandemic is distance . It has been known since the Ancient Greek. Stop say it did not work because you have No idea what would happen whiteout. If you want to argue how was put in place and criticize some of the craziness that go around that is ok and probably even right.

And in the future, when the “deaths by Covid-19” will be shown to decrease, they will say it was thanks to the lockdown.
There will always be a valid narrative to justify the events to the masses. I wish there could come a point when I would tell my relatives “I told you it was all a hoax”, but I’m starting to realize it might never happen. The truth will always sound like a conspiracy theory

The current media focus is on the enormously inflated Covid19 UK death rate compared to other countries. Rather than questioning whether this may actually ‘disprove’ the success of the lock down or be indicative of manipulated statistics, most of the MSM are immediately claiming it is because the lock down wasn’t introduced soon enough or wasn’t strict enough. Talk about head in sand or just blind ignorance. Or maybe being complicit in the scandal?

Did anyone take much interest in the videos coming out of China back in January? I didn’t, but since I’d heard that people were apparently collapsing in the streets, I looked up Youtube to see what I could find. The first video I came up with was this one, which doesn’t actually show anyone collapsing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LtA0-qoHOg It was put out by the South China Morning Post on January 4th. The first scene has the caption “A mystery illness in China.” The second has “At least 44 people have been infected with an unknown virus in Wuhan.” Just to drive home the point, “unknown virus in Wuhan” appears in yellow. There is a shot of a sinister live animal market, now closed and empty, and people in masks shuffling around. A man who thinks there is nothing to worry about is interviewed. Creepy music plays throughout. According to Wikipedia the first… Read more »

France has re-tested samples from former patients. They found a Covid19 positive patient tested on 27th December. He hadn’t left France since August, when he went to Algeria. Louis Pasteur institute has also identified a Covid19 virus that didn’t arrive from Italy or China, but this research isn’t yet peer reviewed. These two cases would seem to fit together. Wonder if they, or any family members, had taken part in World Military Games in Wuham, China, October 2019?

If it is lab created or modified OR discovered rather than genetically defined so as to be a basis to weaponise colds and flu, then it is a dud because overall deaths are within average norms. So while the idea that biology is being researched for destructive purposes is not in doubt, it is much easier to generate a terror contagion narrative from effects of toxic smog and other contributing factors some of which may be vaccine induced immune dysfunction and other medical and environmental exposures. The weaponisation of toxic viral contagion is more effectively transmitted to take if delivered by injection, rather than by infection from snot spray etc. The exploitation of the virus fear by ruling elites is an opportunity to ratchet up control at the expense of our rights and freedoms. The fear is generally false flagged and the solution delivers the very thing it was supposed… Read more »

The harm caused by the government’s “lockdown” measures was predictable. Indeed, many individuals did predict that the government’s measures would be more harmful than the virus. I predicted it myself. (https://viewsandstories.blogspot.com/2020/03/coronavirus-mortality-and-fear-mongering.html) Yet the government made no attempt to estimate how many people would die as a result of their “lockdown” measures, as Matt Hancock, the Health Secretary, admitted on 10 April. At that Coronavirus Daily Update, Hancock asserted that he took this seriously and that he and the Chancellor would look into it immediately. Almost a month later, and still neither Hancock nor the Chancellor nor any other member of the government has told us how many people will die as a result of these draconian measures. This failure to weigh the risks against the potential benefits shows that the government’s approach to policy-making on this issue is irrational, irresponsible and incompetent.

There was a doctor being interviewed yesterday on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (our version of BBC) about ending the lockdown. He mentioned the process can be begun now, but that we may need multiple lockdowns again if ‘necessary’. Which just made me laugh. People’s livelihoods are on the brink of ruin because of one lockdown, how can any economic activity be conducted with MULTIPLE lockdowns? It made me think, are these the people like Hancock who have absolutely no awareness of the social/financial/health consequences of the lockdown, who are guiding policy? Is it complete detachment from reality via a pampered life, ignorance, a pathologically narrow view of the world?

Just by coincidence, twice within sixteen days toward the end of February, Diocletian’s palace in Nicomedia burned. The Christians were immediately blamed.” https://planetofchange.wordpress.com/2012/07/24/diocletians-problem-reaction-solution/ These guys look like controlled opposition to me.

Beeley’s research shows the hand of the British behind the vaccine “alliance” GAVI, just as the British were behind Russiagate. It is time to rethink cuddly old Britain and the brainwashing that Brits get from an early age that Britain is only a force for good and only johnny foreigner does bad things.
Vanessa looks at the role of Paul Ferguson, The Welcome Trust, Gavi, ID2020 digital identity “alliance” and the security state in pushing vaccines as a business and digital IDs as a means of political control. She also monitors how online censorship has tried to stifle any investigation into these networks.

Dan Erickson and Dr. Antin Massihi were passionately criticised by biologist Heather Heying, with assistance of her husband Bret Weinstein. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYQJSobQgAc) . As both sides talk for hours, and talk rather than write, I followed all of this only to an extent. Shortcomings on both sides are likely. I spotted a few. My overarching impression is that of … thinking in mental bubbles, brain in a vat kind of thing.

The number of death registrations involving the coronavirus (COVID-19) decreased from 8,758 in Week 16 to 8,237 in Week 17. This means that 37.4% of all deaths registered in Week 17 mentioned COVID-19, compared with 39.2% of all deaths in Week 16.

The number of deaths mentioning “Influenza and Pneumonia” on the death certificate (without COVID-19) decreased from 1,931 in Week 16 to 1,696 in Week 17. There were 2,944 deaths in Week 17 that mentioned both “Influenza and Pneumonia” and COVID-19 on the death certificate.

What is causing the other non-COVID excess deaths far above the 5 year average? Why has the increase in total excess deaths grown exponentially after week 12 ending 20 March (the day after lock-up began)?

DEFINITION FOR DEATHS DUE TO COVID-19 A death due to COVID-19 is defined for surveillance purposes as a death resulting from a clinically compatible illness, in a probable or confirmed COVID-19 case, unless there is a clear alternative cause of death that cannot be related to COVID disease (e.g. trauma). There should be no period of complete recovery from COVID-19 between illness and death. A death due to COVID-19 may not be attributed to another disease (e.g. cancer) and should be counted independently of preexisting conditions that are suspected of triggering a severe course of COVID-19. COVID-19 should be recorded on the medical certificate of cause of death for ALL decedents where the disease caused, or is assumed to have… Read more »

The rise in care home deaths came after visitors were barred. Does that suggest that the patients only contracted the virus from staff or after admission as in the case of my friend’s father who was admitted after a fall. At age 88, in the second week he picked up a chest infection which turned to pneumonia. He died some weeks later, but in the last week he tested positive for covid. On the death certificate it is recorded he died of covid, but did he? Just one example.

Hospitals are empty because resources are being focused on COVID, staff considered vulnerable have been sent home, and people with other conditions are too scared to go in because the end of the world is nigh. All of which are bound to lead to further deaths which, being indirectly related to COVID, will of course be classed as COVID.

Dungroanin, your attention has repeatedly been drawn to the number of non-coronavirus related deaths above the five yearly average which commenced with the implementation of the government’s “lockdown” measures. None of these thousands of deaths can be the result of the virus. The only logical inference is that they are the result of the “lockdown” measures. Your inability to see this strongly suggests that you are emoting, rather than thinking. I invite to reflect that is at least a possibility.

Here is one easy to understand conclusion for the UK (other countries are covered by other papers.

‘Social distancing and the lockdown have had an impressive impact on the UK Covid-19 epidemic and saved lives, caution is now needed in planning its relaxation.’

This non-peer reviewed paper says The following are unknown; (a) the proportion of the population currently infected on any day and (b) the proportion of the population acquiring an infection on any day. and talks about using the curve of deaths in order to conjecture the curve of daily infections, in order to predict things in a computer model. It moves the death curve back 14 days in an effort to demonstrate that lockdown is having an effect, but goes on later to say that onset to death, according to the WHO, ranges from 2-8 weeks. making this act meaningless. (This also answers the 4-6 week thing from earlier.) So, quite a range there, and I would suggest that such a range can’t be used to track back in time with any reliability. The report says: An attractive alternative to the descriptive partial differential equations is to represent each individual… Read more »

Here is one that covers a few more and estimates how implementing earlier reduces the metrics. ‘Population level interventions (PLIs) impact this threat, with estimable large effects on reducing mortality. Many countries worldwide have currently zero/low mortality and many have yet to implement such PLIs. The importance of timing of PLI implementation on mortality outcomes is poorly understood. We extracted cumulative country-specific COVID-19 mortality for France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK to examine country-specific mortality trends and found that all five countries experienced COVID-19 mortality epidemics initially of exponential nature. We estimated the magnitude of effect on mortality of the nationwide PLI implemented on day 18 of Italy’s mortality epidemic and assessed the importance of timing of PLI implementation by computing the effect of implementation of a PLI of this magnitude at various times on subsequent mortality. The nationwide PLI in Italy saved an estimated 6,170 lives by day… Read more »

The first link seems to deal with cases, not deaths, and just in the US. It could be linked to an exponential increase of testing, rather than infection.

The second link is not talking about covid.

The first link is a graph about cases, and not about curves flattening in response to lockdown. It says

The number of confirmed cases is lower than the number of total cases. The main reason for this is limited testing.

What does that mean? Does it mean they have been diagnosing symptomatically? It doesn’t have anything to to with exponential deaths flattening after lockdown, does it? Where is this information? I can’t see that information.

The second link is just the same graph again.

I only put it in to show how cases are flattening worldwide after the measures were implemented. The excess deaths in the UK have certainly flattened as shown by the total deaths numbers of the ONS. Yes there has been no testing of all deaths for CV . Yes there has been no adequate general testing of the UK population. It is only just being started at a scale and frequency that will allow for better understanding of how active CV is in areas but is still woeful inadequate in terms of blood tests for antibodies. The only good thing about the belated effort is that we will have more trained people on the ground by the end of the year to help monitor the… Read more »

Something wrong with that chart, now it roughly shows :
wk Deaths
17 – 22000
16 – 22500
15 – 18000
14 – 16000
13 – 12000

Total = 90500 over those 5 weeks

Erm no, definitely wrong. I suspect the compiler of the data has mixed up weekly with cumulative! Cumulative total for deaths for Apr 17 was 16879 and 7 days earlier it was 10760 so that makes the MAXIMUM weekly Covid deaths 6119 as of last week its 4000 per week

Interesting that the two graphs use different scales. Graph 1 total deaths 25000, graph 2 – 10,000. This gives a skewed view that implies CoVid deaths are the reason for the spike. Given that there may well be collateral deaths of people who are afraid to attend ER in case they catch the virus and the change in the way care home deaths are recorded. The spike can easily be explained. The cause of the spike IS CoVid related by way of causing collateral deaths.

I don’t normally have trouble posting on Off-G but there’d an item I have been trying to post and it’s not coming up. So I’ll try here: The designations “left” and “right” are becoming increasingly meaningless but the *propagandist* dimension of them is what is important. I reckon that the vast majority of the public both in the UK and in the US – and probably all over the world – like to see themselves as on the “oppositional” side, usually associated with “the left”. Think of it this way: if the govt tells you something straight up, you might feel suspicious. But if there’s a “leak” and the govt squirm with embarrassment then you’ll sit up and pay attention. And the govt know this. Hell, ever since the affluent consumer rebel fashions took off, we all like to consider ourselves crazy revolutionaries.

I think this is how The Grauniad manages to tie itself up in knots. It’s an article of faith among all Guardian writers (and most of its readers, probably) that everything that Johnson and his acolytes do is wrong and evil by definition. Thus when their initial policy appeared to be “do nothing” and let herd immunity take care of things, then the holy choir of self-righteous Guardian scribblers and their disciples among the celebrati came down on the government like a ton of bricks, screaming for action. Add to that the outrage that most decent people feel about austerity-driven cuts to public services including health. Then when the government changed direction and imposed the draconian Coronavirus Enabling Act 1933-2020, the Grauniad and its ilk were hoist by their own petard. They had called for strong action, and this is what they got; be careful in what you wish for.… Read more »

It looks like it’s what these two doctors are recommending, by advocating letting people out to achieve herd immunity, and not keep people isolated too long, too much and in the end risk more infection waves.

All in all good but just one word, doctors. You guys want people to go back out, and reopen. We want people to go out and reopen. Bill Gates didn’t want that… not at least for a much longer period of time.

Re your phrase “go back out and reopen”. Reminds me of the ebook series Wool, by Hugh Howey. Everybody locked inside, down in the bunker. Only the ill and dying are let out, into a contaminated atmosphere, where they can survive a matter of hours, to do one last service by cleaning the camera lenses, the only remaining windows on the world. Rather one dimensional but not too far from the utopia some people seem to be aiming for.

Thank you Dr Erikson and Dr Massihi for your eloquence, and your refusal to back down in the face of blatant smears from the paid presstitutes and the outright censorship from YouTube. I wish there were more Doctors and Epidemiologists like you along with John Ioannidis, Knut Wittkowski and Sucharit Bhakdi speaking out. Their humanity and deep concern for those who are going to suffer greatly from this massive overreaction is appreciated. Right now I couldn’t give a flying tinkers fig what their politics are or where they sit on the political spectrum. The collateral damage for those who can least afford it will be absolutely horrendous. Millions will end up on the streets. Many will be bankrupted. And out of despair and hopelessness a lot of people will take their own lives.

I find Peak Prosperity’s CoVid19 reports good, and Medcram for a more scientific-medical series. Both show how hydroxychloroquine works well, in early cases, and Peak Prosperity also the bizarre BigPharma/ABC/MSM campaign to lie about HCQ. It gets in the way of expensive crap like remdesivir, and the ‘vaccine’ which I, for one, will never voluntarily submit to.

You tube banning the interview is very interesting because it conveys to their naive political supporters, and others, that even doctors can be bad. Of course, what the doctors say cannot be debunked by you tube because they are simply recounting what they have seen and, in summary, say that what they have seen does not justify lock down. That was the mistake, they stood on the toes of the politicians and wealthy folk who have a vested interest in lock down. But what is interesting is that people will believe you tube rather than a couple of ER doctors. Wow! Things are worse than I thought.

SIDE EFFECTS Erickson and Massihi provide a commonsense analysis, something which is sorely missing in most mainstream media news outlets. The California doctors cite a few points worth discussing further, firstly testing isolates a “moment in time.” One test does not tell you anything except the results of that one test. And as we are finding out the COVID-19 tests have proven to be unreliable. Secondly, Erickson and Massihi say they were accused of financially exploiting COVID-19. The only scumbags who exploited COVID-19 were Hedge funds, Wall Street, the big banks and the usual vultures like Warren Buffett, and BlackRock who will swallow-up huge swaths of foreclosed real estate and small businesses. And let’s not forget, Amazon and the large drugstore chains like CVS, Walgreen, Rite Aid, and Walmart, etc….These stores are making a fortune while millions of small businesses are going under.

It seemed they deliberately overdid it to preclude accusations of ‘conspiracy ‘ and focus the debate where it should be. By giving the low ground, they keep the high ground.

I hadn’t yet read this comment of yours when I replied to @Calamity Jane above but, whilst I didn’t go into any detail in my reply, I was implicitly meaning that anything critical said by them beyond the immediate ‘science’ could very readily be used against them with little excuse.

I have only viewed part of this second lengthy interview but they touched on dangerous ground (from their professional perspective) in the first one when they said that when the government tells people that they will keep them ‘safe’ they mean ‘under control’, and when they said that there was something odd going on regarding pressing doctors to specify Covid19 as the cause of death when it clearly wasn’t. For those comments alone I am sure that they have come under significant pressure to ‘button it’.

I agree re the comments they made in their first video. Such comments were conspicuous by their absence in this one.

They did say that the first press conference was intended for people in their local area. Perhaps, had they known it would go global, they might have been a bit more circumspect.

Maybe they felt they had to go overboard in the other direction this time to ‘insure’ themselves because one does not go from equating safety to government control, to praising Bill Gates, without a strong sense of irony and tongue firmly in cheek 😏

Covid-19 is just a name given. What we have is a seasonal virus and not even a particularly virulent one.

Combine that with media hysteria and political/financial aims.

To the point of being beyond statistically insignificant no healthy people are impacted by Covid-19- only those who were already in very poor health are severely impacted by this virus are impacted. And the vast majority of those are the elderly. And an extraordinary percentage of those elderly exist in squalid living situations and are victims of neglect.

That is not a global pandemic that is a social problem.

If it were a severe virus of the magnitude that the fear mongers are hyping we would be seeing at least a fair bloc of young and healthy people dying. We are not.

I know of a few people who absolutely hate their jobs, they post statuses on FB and WhatsApp complaining every now and then, and now what they post are pictures of meals they prepared at home. I don’t think they’d be in the mood to post food photos if they’re now about to suffer financially. There’d be no food to show.

If the Zoom meeting was a little stressful, the boss gave them an earful, they could go straight to bed and lie down for a while.

Can’t do that in the office can you?

I live in a smallish town in the UK, and most people have not been wearing masks. Some staff in supermarkets wear perspex all-around visors, and most wear gloves, and I find this perfectly reasonable. They are coming into contact with a large number of strangers every day.

However, today, I noticed a woman supermarket customer in a well-made and expensive looking all-around visor, and what looked like a good quality mask underneath; and gloves of course. It seemed rather OTT, but she did look rather elderly, and may have felt vulnerable, so I suppose being dressed like that made her feel better.

I have been the same only to add that when I do venture for a walk the country side where I live is full of people ‘social distancing’ – we even had to queue while a set of walkers navigated a stretch of path that could easily contain 2 way traffic but for the fact they would be within the 2 m allotted distance. I would have expected better. People who go out walking down bridleways surely by implication don’t care about social distancing but I have found its become a virtue signalling opportunity and they must signal to everyone else what good little social distancers they are. I find it frustrating behaviour.

I went straight for Dave and he sheltered me behind his keyboards while the bouncers and punks fought it out. When it had all calmed down he dropped me back into the stalls and the show carried on. I saw them for the 3rd time at Loch Lomond Rock festival in 79. Always my fav band RIP Dave.

I’ve obeyed lock down for 7 weeks because I have a underlying condition HBP and bronchitis. But I’m beginning to think I was over cautious. What I’m reading and seeing off the MSM makes me believe there has possibly been a total over reaction to this Covid 19. David Icke has apparently been saying the same same thing, but I disregarded his comment due to the 5G nonsense (not to mention the giant lizards). I went for a drive today through rural Norfolk UK and found that there are many cars on the roads. Yje Lock Down seems to be crumbling anyway.

Icke never said 5G is the cause of the corona virus.
He said there are scientific studies out there that claim the high frequencies used by 5G have been shown to cause illness in humans. That’s it.
What he has claimed is that the virus doesn’t exist and he is correct.
I suggest you do some reading on Virology. You will discover just how corrupt it is. I suggest you start here. The forward is by a leading (now dead) Virologist who specialised in the application of Electron microscopy in the field.

“What he has claimed is that the virus doesn’t exist and he is correct.”

And how would Icke know?

The virus is certainly invisible to our senses, and that means we have to take on trust that it exists. Unless we have sufficient knowledge and skill to be able to detect one.

With that said I think it is silly to suggest that it does not exist. Viruses do exist and in all probability this one does too, even if the threat it poses is being massively hyped.

If it were only David Icke saying it, I would also be sceptical. However, he’s not the only one:

I only recently discovered David Crowe recently, but it seems he’s been on the case of dodgy virus scares for years now, as one can tell from his website:

https://davidcrowe.ca/SciHealthEnv.php

Andrew Kaufman is also a virus sceptic.

I take the view that viruses may or may not exist, and if they do, they may or may not be pathogenic (there are some species of large “viruses” that are definitely not pathogenic*), but either way, we can give ourselves the best chance of keeping healthy with plenty of vitamin C, and appropriate doses of vitamin D (ideally from sunlight), zinc, magnesium and selenium, and of course a healthy diet.

It’s not just about viruses, but about Scheff’s book “Official Stories”, which questions a lot of “official stories” within science. During the conversation, the story comes up about the old story about the philosopher who had saved the life of an emperor’s daughter. the emperor is so pleased that he tells him that he will grant him anything that his heart desires. So the philosopher asks for the girl’s hand in marriage. The emperor refuses, but says he can have anything else he wants.

Lock Down seems to be crumbling anyway.

Where I am (south Oxfordshire), it’s definitely getting busier every day. I think some small tradesmen are getting back to work. More cars on the road. More people in the street.

If and when the reported new case and fatality numbers really get to very low values, then I think people might vote with their feet. The trouble is that they might find new ways of faking the numbers.

I heard something on the radio about schools getting ready to go back (but not until June). One school featured had prepared elaborate procedures for children entering the school, washing their hands, and then “social distancing” within the school (I can see that breaking down pretty rapidly….the sort of rules kids love to break).

They are doctors who have been completely brainwashed by the concepts that have been entrenched in European medicine for centuries. It’s called germ theory and it has been largely invalidated, at least as far as viruses are concerned. There have been no double blind studies related to the corona virus. The only thing they did was amplify a stretch of RNA they CLAIM is part of a virus. The virus has never been isolated and shown to be infectious let alone deadly. It hasn’t been proven to exist.Basta Now here is an example of why Virology is a pseudo-science. Here is the report from Ferguson justifying the criminal actions of the current Politburo where he predicts 500,000 deaths in the UK. https://www.imperial.ac.uk/media/imperial-college/medicine/sph/ide/gida-fellowships/Imperial-College-COVID19-NPI-modelling-16-03-2020.pdf On Page 5 they show a table where the infection fatality ratio is 0.002% for children and 0.006% for youngsters between 10 to 19.

There is a global totalitarian agenda going on, and has been for several hundred years. The ONLY way to deal with a situation this heinous and dangerous to humanity is to begin by violently, by way of guerilla warfare, eradicate their main government that this cabal uses as their enforcement platform. This will have to initially be done by at least 3-5% of the population, to kill and defeat this state’s enforcement component–the police and military personnel. After that’s completed then the infrastructure can be easily destroyed and dis-assembled. Then the perps and their minions can be destroyed. To fail to do this will be to allow humanity to be devastated globally!!!

It was the same in Parliament Square and I did note that there were a dozen or so paramilitary police by Downing Street which isnt really unusual right now.

Exactly. Their goal is to fill the public sphere with convoluted ‘medical’ social etiquette that will make Victorian standards of interaction seem like a cakewalk in comparison. They want us all so exhausted from performing necessary tasks like grocery shopping that we don’t have the energy or inclination to indulge in social ‘luxuries’.
