QUESTIONING THE NARRATIVE

            What if the story is false?  About coronavirus?  Can you imagine being the first guy to say "the world is round?"  Or that slavery is wrong?  Or that there are beings smaller than we can see called germs, not ghosts?  Or that hydrogenated vegetable oil is so bad nobody should ever have any of it, ever?

             Official narratives are often wrong.  Goodness, remember that the elite Roman guards stationed around Jesus' tomb, who witnessed the resurrection, took money and spent the rest of their lives telling people someone came and stole the body.  The world is in an unprecedented narrative-formation stage.  Posterity will look back on today's narrative, pour over the daily media updates and the official briefings from the White House with 20/20 hindsight, and parse it out.

             The sooner people begin questioning a wrong narrative, the better.  Over the last two days I've immersed myself in the counter-narrative and at the risk of being considered callous or cavalier, I'm beginning to question the official narrative.

             First of all, when we look at all deaths per 1 million, all cause, nothing is spiking.  When you look at the Spanish flu of 1918, an obvious catastrophic spike is evident.  With this pandemic, no spike exists.  In fact, the only clear aberration is death from pneumonia, which has plummeted to almost nothing.  Could it be that doctors, given great latitude in identifying cause of death, and hewing to the current hysteria, simply classify pneumonia deaths as coronavirus rather than pneumonia?  The numbers certainly indicate that.

             These are not graphs you'll see on the nightly news, Fox or otherwise.  Three countries have not locked down:  Sweden, Denmark, and Brazil.  Right now, U.S. all cause deaths per million is rocking right along at a normal 36.  Sweden is 57, which is also normal.  Denmark is 35 and Brazil is 6.  Yes, 6.

             Even in Europe, including Italy, all cause deaths are completely normal.  The U.S. had an abnormal bump of flu deaths in 2018, which run 24,000-60,000 annually with 400,000-473,000 flu hospitalizations.  One Italian analysis showed that of the first 2,000 people who allegedly died from coronavirus, all but 3 would have died in 2020 anyway due to age and underlying health issues.

             When my mother-in-law died from cancer, the cause of death was listed as "heart failure."  Yes, her heart did finally stop, but that's not what caused her death. Doctors are human and subject to group think just like farmers and Tyson executives.

             Did you know that 80 percent of tests are false positives?  The tests are not binary.  The word "test" is a powerful word, and most of us assume that a test is fairly empirical.  But this test is on a continuum.  When does pink turn to purple?  It's highly subjective and interpretive.  Numerous truly scientific studies have shown people testing positive one day, negative the next, and positive the next--it's just not reliable, and yet we're basing computer models, filling out statistical Excel sheets, and threatening the most basic human interactions and freedoms on the basis of this stuff.

             In fact, China's huge decrease in numbers occurred not because of testing, but because they stopped testing anyone who didn't show symptoms.  If you average 80 percent false positives and then suddenly quit testing anyone not showing symptoms, you're going to drastically reduce your numbers.  By now nobody should trust the computer modeling geeks.  They should be quarantined with duct tape around their fingers to keep them off their computers.  The projections have been massively incorrect.  And they whip people into hyper-hysteria, feeding the insatiable vultures in the media fighting over the most sensational sound bite.

             The Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation (VDOT) won't let two workers ride in the same truck, so instead of sending a 7-person crew, for example, in a work van to a job site, they send them in 7 vehicles.

             The amount of chemicals dousing into our lives and skin with fumigants, anti-microbials, and hand sanitizers--is anyone measuring the long-term health affects of daily immersion in toxic chemicals?  Or the slow death of loneliness among the aged who now don't enjoy Bingo and family visits?

             Enough for today.  Unlike some, I'm not ready to say it's all a hoax, but I'm also not ready to believe the official narrative.  How do officials save face when people start realizing "the emperor has no clothes?" 

            What differentiates the kind of person who believes the official narrative without question, and the kind of person who dares to question?
