*yeah, probably a member of the tribe but still worth checking out because he's speaking the truth

[vacuum]

That guy creeps me out.

He does have some good points though.

[Neuro]

That guy creeps me out.

He does have some good points though.

He is kind of embodiment of social distancing. LOL

This is dynamite - a nice tidbit: social distancing is conditioning the public to facilitate tracking of individuals via RFID chips and real-time satellite surveillance. Much more covered. Must watch: covers Fauci, COVID-19 fraud, vaccine fraud, Wuhan, pollution, 5G, chemtrails etc.

Perspectives on the Pandemic | Professor Knut Wittkowski Update Interview | Episode 5
Published on Apr 28, 2020

In this highly-charged follow-up interview, Knut Wittkowski says his initial claim has been vindicated: The lockdowns - always a dubious proposition for a respiratory virus - came too late in the U.S. and elsewhere, and were therefore even worse than useless. By turns emotional and darkly comic, Wittkowski ranges across all the essential topics of the crisis, and gives answers you are unlikely to see in the major media.

WITTKOWSKI: There are many people who are supporting my positions; one was on the same channel interviewed here, that's John Ioannidis. There are several people: Wolfgang Wodarg, in Germany, there's Sprague, there's Helms, there are several of them. But they are not favored by the media, because if you don't present bad news, that's not good news for the media. The media - only bad news is good news. So, three weeks ago, I was sitting here and had already published the manuscript showing that the epidemic would be over soon, that this was just a regular flu, and no reason - that there was no reason whatsoever to close schools, and in particular, not to run the whole economy against the wall. The damage that was done to the economy is immense. And even if there had been a few more deaths than in a regular flu, which it wasn't, but even then, the huge damage done to the economy could not be justified by whatever was known, even at the time when people started with the so-called social distancing or the second prohibition, exactly 100 years after the first prohibition, and we already knew how effective the first prohibition was.


...WITTKOWSKI: But this double-checking has never happened with these models, because you don't - you are not off by several orders of magnitude; you're off by 10-20-30%, 50%! But that is two orders of, more than two orders of magnitude. Even the best social-distancing cannot change something by two orders of magnitude. That would mean you have to put each person in a negative pressure room and isolate them there. Yes, if you do that for all 10 million people in New York, you put them a negative pressure room, then you can achieve a major difference. Otherwise, you cannot. Everything you can achieve is a gradual change and we see that now with the data that we get from the, published now, in the New York Times. We still have spread of the virus. It may be somewhat less, but it's not enough for two orders of magnitude in the results.

KIRBY: Would it have been easy for public health officials to predict, based on prior experiences with economic depressions, that the lockdown would cause more excess death than the virus? I mean, in terms of suicide, like -

WITTKOWSKI: It was known to everybody that the lockdown would cause a catastrophe, there is no question. If you shut down the economy of the United States and other countries in the western world, that this is creating hardship at a scale that is difficult to imagine. And we don't see it yet. So, we don't have - I haven't seen, for instance, data on suicides yet. So, we don't see - we have seen 26 million people in the United States losing their job, and we see a lot of businesses going bankrupt.

There is substantial spread of virus, despite all of that distancing. It may be that some people are actually beginning to start thinking, because, if the virus is spreading with all this distancing, how effective is the distancing? It's not effective! It's not doing it. It's slowing down the spread. But it's not preventing it.


...WITTKOWSKI: The only thing we have to do is to do what we should have done in the first place: keep the schools open, keep the businesses open, and isolate the elderly.
