some reminders.
According to the latest immunological and serological studies, the overall lethality of Covid-19 (IFR) is about 0.1% and thus in the range of a strong seasonal influenza (flu).
1/
In countries like US, the UK, and also Sweden (without a lockdown), overall mortality since the beginning of the year is in the range of a strong influenza season; in countries like Germany, Austria and Switzerland, overall mortality is in the range of a mild influenza season. /2
Even in global “hotspots”, the risk of death for the general population of school and working age is typically in the range of a daily car ride to work. The risk was initially overestimated because many people with only mild or no symptoms were not taken into account. /3
Up to 80% of all test-positive persons remain symptom-free. Even among 70-79 year olds, about 60% remain symptom-free. Over 95% of all persons develop at most moderate symptoms. /4
Up to 60% of all persons may already have a certain cellular background immunity to Covid-19 due to contact with previous coronaviruses (i.e. common cold viruses). The initial assumption that there was no immunity against Covid-19 was not correct. /5
The median age of the deceased in most countries (including Italy) is over 80 years (e.g. 86 years in Sweden) and only about 4% of the deceased had no serious preconditions. The age and risk profile of deaths thus essentially corresponds to normal mortality. /6
In many countries, up to two thirds of all extra deaths occurred in nursing homes, which do not benefit from a general lockdown. Moreover, in many cases it is not clear whether these people really died from Covid19 or from weeks of extreme stress and isolation. /7
Up to 30% of all additional deaths may have been caused not by Covid19, but by the effects of the lockdown, panic and fear. For example, the treatment of heart attacks and strokes decreased by up to 60% because many patients no longer dared to go to hospital. /8
Even in so-called “Covid19 deaths” it is often not clear whether they died from or with coronavirus (i.e. from underlying diseases) or if they were counted as “presumed cases” and not tested at all. However, official figures usually do not reflect this distinction. /9
Many reports of young, healthy dying from CV19 turned out false: many of the young either didn't die from CV19, had already been seriously ill (e.g. undiagnosed leukaemia), another reported 9 year old turned out 109. claimed increase Kawasaki disease in kids also false. /10
increases in regional mortality can occur if there's collapse in care of the elderly & sick as a result of infection/panic or if there are added risks such as air pollution. Questionable regulations for dealing deceased led to additional bottlenecks in funeral services. /11
In countries such as Italy and Spain, and to some extent the UK and the US, hospital overloads due to strong flu waves are not unusual. Moreover, this year up to 15% of health care workers were put into quarantine, even if they developed no symptoms. /12
often shown curves of corona cases are misleading, number of tests also increased exponentially Most countries ratio of +ve tests to tests overall (i.e. positive rate) remain constant at 5%-25% or increased slightly many countries peak of spread reached well before lockdown /13
Countries without curfews and contact bans, such as Japan, South Korea, Belarus or Sweden, have not experienced a more negative course of events than other countries. Sweden was even praised by the WHO and now benefits from higher immunity compared to lockdown countries. /14
The fear of a shortage of ventilators was unjustified. According to lung specialists, the invasive ventilation (intubation) of Covid19 patients, which is partly done out of fear of spreading the virus, is in fact often counterproductive and damaging to the lungs. /15
Contrary to assumptions, studies have shown no evidence of the virus spreading through aerosols (i.e. tiny particles floating in air) or via smear infections (eg. door handles or smartphones). Main modes of transmission direct contact & droplets produced coughing or sneezing. /16
There is no scientific evidence for the effectiveness of face masks in healthy or asymptomatic individuals. On the contrary, experts warn such masks interfere with normal breathing and may become “germ carriers”. Leading doctors called them a “media hype” and “ridiculous”. /17
Many clinics in Europe and the US remained strongly underutilized or almost empty during the Covid19 peak and in some cases had to send staff home. Millions of surgeries and therapies were cancelled, including many cancer screenings and organ transplants. /18
Several media were caught trying to dramatize the situation in hospitals, sometimes even with manipulative images and videos. In general, the unprofessional reporting of many media maximized fear and panic in the population. /19
The virus test kits used internationally are prone to errors and can produce false positive and false negative results. Moreover, the official virus test was not clinically validated due to time pressure and may sometimes react positive to other coronaviruses. /20
Numerous internationally renowned experts in the fields of virology, immunology and epidemiology consider the measures taken to be counterproductive and recommend rapid natural immunisation of the general population and protection of risk groups. /21
At no time was there a medical reason for the closure of schools, as the risk of disease and transmission in children is extremely low. There is also no medical reason for small classes, masks or ‘social distancing’ rules in schools. /22
The claim that only (severe) Covid-19 but not influenza may cause venous thrombosis and pulmonary (lung) embolism is not true, as it has been known for 50 years that severe influenza greatly increases the risk of thrombosis and embolism, too. /23
Several medical experts describe express cv vaccines unnecessary & dangerous eg vaccine against so called swine flu 2009, led sometimes severe neurological damage & lawsuits in millions In testing of new cv vaccines serious complications & failures have already occurred /24
A global influenza or corona pandemic can indeed extend over several seasons, but many studies of a “second wave” are based on very unrealistic assumptions, such as a constant risk of illness and death across all age groups. /25
Several nurses, e.g. in New York City, described an oftentimes fatal medical mis­manage­ment of Covid patients due to questionable financial incentives or inappropriate medical protocols. /26
no of people suffering unemployment, depressions & domestic violence as result of measures has reached historic record values Experts predict measures will claim far more lives than the virus. UN say 1.6 billion people around world at immediate risk of losing their livelihood./27
NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden warned “corona crisis” will be used for permanent expansion of global surveillance. Renowned virologist Pablo Goldschmidt spoke of global media terror & totalitarian measures Leading Brit virologist Prof John Oxford spoke of a “media epidemic” /28
>600 scientists warned of unprecedented surveillance of society via problematic apps for contact tracing some countries contact tracing is carried out directly by secret service. several parts the world population already monitored by drones & facing serious police overreach./29
A 2019 WHO study on public health measures against pandemic influenza found that from a medical perspective, “contact tracing” is “not recommended in any circumstances”. Nevertheless, contact tracing apps have already become partially mandatory in several countries. /30
all this and the information to back these facts is not my work its public knowledge the data to back this thread up is on this site, there are many more, all exposing the same thing, wake up, this is the scam of the century https://swprs.org/a-swiss-doctor-on-covid-19/
