The current widely accepted conventional, mainstream narrative on the covid hysteria era goes as follows:
- There is a lab leak or purposeful release or natural spillover event in China, leading to a novel virus infecting the masses.
- That virus is at first ultra virulent and ultra deadly, leading to a pandemic that causes widespread human tragedy.
- The virus then mutates to become less and less severe over time, leading to where we are today.
There is a consensus among epidemiological astrologists [my apologies for maligning astrology, a far more precise science than epidemiology] that populates the virological $cience industry today. That line of reasoning advances the idea that a “novel” coronavirus — evidence of which the Chinese government uploaded to the internet in January of 2020 — once caused a super deadly disease, and then mutated over time to become less and less of a severe threat to humans.
It’s significant that both the majority of unapologetic lockdowners and those opposed to the lockdowns largely agree with this framework. It explains how the virus evolved from the “Wuhan strain” to the less potent “Omicron” strain, and beyond, they say.
The problem with this conceptual framework is that it’s baseless and flies in the face of all available evidence, because from the very beginning of the covid hysteria era, there was never an out of the ordinary disease burden imposed upon human civilization. The extensive burden to humanity was applied by governments, not a virus.
Whether impacted by human development or not, this was no “bioweapon.” There is no data supporting the idea that a novel, lab created virus was initially supercharged before fizzling out when dispersed more broadly.
It’s understandable that some politicians want to declare the Chinese state (which is undoubtedly an authoritarian actor) responsible for the deaths of millions of people worldwide.
Lab leak or not, what happened amounted to just another cold/flu respiratory season. Everything else was the result of human intervention. It wasn’t a virus that shut down society and spooled up the money printer. Your government did that.
None of “the measures” were ever necessary because “COVID-19” was nothing more than just another series of years when lots of humans suffered from respiratory illness. Tragically, every year, millions of people, particularly the elderly, don’t make it through the annual respiratory illness season. This is to be expected, as we are not immortal beings.
