Why are we willing to accept a devastating economic shutdown or the quarantining of healthy people? Why do we think masks will save us or 6-feet of distance is necessary? Why are we focused on vaccines, testing, and contact tracing? It’s because we believe in the threat of COVID-19. Why do we believe in the severity of that threat? Who told us to fear the virus? Was it really the models and experts? They were relied upon but, think about it, who gave them their voice?

There is little reason to fear COVID-19

First, the good news. There is little reason to fear COVID-19. Not only should our governments allow for the economy to fully reopen, it looks like the shutdown/lockdown orders were wholly unnecessary in the first place. The unreliability of the junk COVID models is no longer in question. The model written by Neil Ferguson, the Imperial College Academic,  whose models predicted the terrifying death totals, is a “buggy mess that looks more like a bowl of angel hair pasta than a finely tuned piece of programming,” says The Daily Telegraph.

These mind-blowing charts prepared by the Economisch Statistishe Berichten (ESB) show that the majority of people, even those over 60, show only mild symptoms or are asymptomatic. Over 96% of people under 60 are at no risk at all and the chance of death for the rest is miniscule. For English, go here.

Then there is hydroxychloroquine. Several doctors have used it with great success and more support for its use comes from exasperated Texas doctor, Ivette Lozano, who literally screams about its efficacy in an interview with Fox News’ Laura Ingraham.

Mainstream media is responsible for all the economic and social harm befalling us

The models were wrong, most people are not at risk, and an effective cure exists. Taken together, it shows there is absolutely no reason to fear it like we do nor to remain in shutdown/lockdown/distance mode. In fact, there never was a factual cause for any of it. Yet, instead of focusing on the lack of a reason, here we are talking about origins, testing, contact tracing, vaccines, and further reliance on the ‘wrecksperts’ who got it all wrong.

Politicians have good reason to avoid the root cause of the COVID problem. What could they possibly say to people? Our bad, sorry about the bankruptcy, the loss of your life savings, the breakup of your marriage, the stress related disease, the substance abuse, the suicides, the fines, the psychological damage, the loss of your business. You know, stuff just happens! Political considerations trump the truth and it’s hard to blame them, imagine the lawsuits they should be facing for their folly.

Unfortunately, their CYA decisions work in support of the original, and wildly incorrect, belief that COVID-19 would wipe us all out. In doing so, they protect the media’s model malfeasance from deserved scrutiny and we subsequently fail to address the manufactured panic that sits at the root our economic and personal malaise.

The mainstream media is responsible for all the economic and social harm befalling us because we wouldn’t be fearfully trembling in a dark corner without their sustained and focused efforts to wrongfully spread fear and panic.

The deliberately manufactured panic was a crisis in need of drastic political solutions

Trust in the media’s work led to the belief that COVID-19 was much more dangerous than it really is. That fake belief fed intense fears and caused mass panic. The deliberately manufactured panic was a crisis in need of drastic political solutions, which was exactly what we got once our political leaders sniffed the alluring aroma of absolute power.

The media didn’t make a mistake, they executed a long running strategy to use belief as a means of driving a political agenda. Much of what society believes has nothing to do with truth and everything to do with perception. The media, by controlling information and manipulating emotion, are able to set societal perceptions. Those strong perceptions become widely held beliefs which form the basis of our “truths”.

In effect, we become belief bound. Rather than questioning the belief, it’s treated as common knowledge. That acceptance shapes and guides our future actions. It’s why we talk about vaccines instead of junk models and fake fears. An agenda driven media will vigorously and viciously defend that fake belief at all cost because belief is what moves the culture and country. We vote belief, even when that belief is steeped in ignorance as opposed to knowledge.

What we collectively believe are really media scripted social constructs, ideas with no tether to reality, like COVID-19 will kill 2.2 million Americans, CO2 drives climate change, or there are infinite genders. The creation and full-throated defense of belief is a crucial component of the media’s strategy to force a big government, small liberty ideological agenda on the country. Fear is an essential tactic of that overarching belief-based strategy.

Our biggest problem isn’t COVID-19, which is most fatal for the old and immuno-compromised and may largely be beat with hydroxychloroquine. Fear is an issue, but not the issue. The gravest threat to our well being is the root cause of that fear, trust in an untrustworthy media and our ceaseless march toward tyranny will continue unabated until we understand that basic existential fact.
