Dr Paul Alexander was brought in by Trump around the same time. I heard his recounting of his experience, which of course was awful, and how the Faucci group got rid of him for having the correct opinion.

Why ever trust the buffoonery known as government?

That's the real bottom line from every one of my Covid articles: Do NOT trust the "experts" (or the "authorities").

Anything they are “for” (in any sphere wu-flu, Ukraine, everything else), I am VEHEMENTLY “against”. It’s very easy to know what the right things are, just by watching our “betters” & what they say, do, promote....

Exactly. If you want to know the lies, simply note what the experts and authorities say is "the truth."

This is great. "What might have been." I still argue public health officials could have had conclusive evidence this virus had already spread widely around the world by ... November 2019. That evidence was found in the antibody results of archived blood collected and later tested by the CDC for Covid antibodies. This tranche of blood from three western states revealed that at least 2.04 percent of blood donors had already been infected by November 2019. (The blood was donated Dec. 13-16, 2019).

My question: Why wasn't this blood tested as soon as possible? Certainly by early March 2020. Don't let anybody tell you that our public health establishment couldn't test 1900 vials of blood for Covid antibodies in a span of a few days. After all, this was a "national emergency," right?

I have no doubt that officials intentionally delayed that testing. If they hadn't and the world had known these results, perhaps nothing that happened afterwords would have happened.

Please note links and points below as well.

I think these are four very important articles on this topic. The point made by all of these articles is that plenty of “public health experts” should have KNOWN this virus had already spread widely around the world ... even by early March 2020 - two weeks before the lockdowns.

So these “experts” are either incompetent in their jobs or they were intentionally concealing evidence of “early spread” … to make sure we got extended lockdowns and, much more importantly, the “vaccine.”

Here’s my article on the “Red Cross Blood study” that shows that 1,900 vials of blood were sitting in Red Cross refrigerators and COULD have easily been tested well BEFORE the lockdowns. The results of this study weren’t published until …. Late November 2020 - almost a year after the blood was collected!

This article agains summarizes the mountain of evidence (from positive antibody tests) of Americans (and other people in at least four other countries) who had been infected in October, November and December …. 2019.

Also, officials could have taken note of the huge spike of Americans who were suffering from Influenza Like Illness (ILI) in the winter of 2019-2020. Per contemporaneous ILI “Surveillance Reports” produced by all state health agencies, tens of millions of Americans experienced symptoms just like Covid-19. Even if 80 percent of these Americans did NOT have Covid, what if 20 percent DID?

I think this is my most-important article on this subject. In this piece, I identify approximately 25 ways I think certain officials conspired to CONCEAL evidence of early spread.

https://billricejr.substack.com/p/theory-officials-intentionally-concealed?utm_source=profile&utm_medium=reader2

My bottom-line: At least some key officials either knew or should have known this virus had already infected tens of millions of Americas by March 2020. Even Iannodis’s IFR estimate is probably way too low.

None of what happened needed to happen ... and could have been stopped just by testing and reporting the results of the "Red Cross Antibody Study." Also: Why did the CDC only test ONE tranche of archived blood for antibodies?

Birx showed the ILI spike for covid in one of the early WH press briefings on a chart. This was the one where she pointed out that Louisiana was a hot spot. That's when it should have been obvious to everyone that the virus had been spreading everywhere from at least as early as mid-late February, when they have Mardi Gras parades and parties all over the state for the entire month (not to mention basketball games). Yet no increase in excess deaths anywhere in the US until the last week of March. So they knew the virus had been spreading for an entire month (at least) with no increase in excess deaths and they didn't care. They had an agenda, and nothing was going to get in their way.

- Other examples: old video of Fauci on natural immunity for flu, old video of Fauci on high PCR cycle counts. He knew these things but the policy we got was the opposite.

I am not an expert and I knew, yes knew, that the virus was so universally spread by the time of the lockdowns that it was too late to do anything about it. I knew for several Easton’s but will only mention two, one of which is cited in the OP. Then Prince Charles caught it. No one is allowed anywhere near the royal family if even a contact has the sniffles. Point of reference: an acquaintance was invited to have tea with Queen. Apparently, commoners were invited to events attended by the late Queen. Very excited to be able to go, she was heartbroken to have to cancel. Her sister with who she did not live, caught a mild cold and she was disallowed. Anyone with the slightest indication of anything other than perfect health in themselves or of family and friends is not allowed near the royals.

The second case was a teenaged boy from a remote tribe somewhere. His tribe brought him in to town for medial care and he was found to be positive for the virus. IF, and this is a BIG”IF”, both truly had the disease, then it was far to universally spread for any containment effort to work. These “experts” knew this or hound have. Either way, they should never be trusted again.

This article motivated me to write ... this article ....

Regarding "early spread" of the novel corona virus, what did President Trump NOT know … and why didn’t he know this? Did his key scientific advisors conceal important information from him that might have called off the lockdowns? FWIW, here’s what SHOULD have happened in the history-changing first 75 days of 2020:

A question I have long had is when did seeking a second opinion become de facto illegal? I know of cases from a number of years ago of parents having their children taken over seeking a second opinion. One involved legal immigrants in California. A much more recent case was in Chicago and was a legitimate conspiracy of a hospital,system and CPS and possibly law enforcement. Then we have what can happen to families who seek a second option on gender dysphoria.

My point is, we failed to correct this when it was a spark, thus we should not be shocked it has become the mass conflagration that it is.

I suspect Matt Pottinger had a hand in killing the meeting. See Michael Senger's thorough description of his malign influence. https://brownstone.org/articles/matt-pottinger-the-us-intelligence-agent-who-pushed-lockdowns/

Debbie Lerman follows up on how Pottinger got Birx hired https://brownstone.org/articles/how-did-deborah-birx-get-the-job/

Expand full comment

Matt Pottinger was from the DOD/CIA. The DOD/CIA was running the entire Covid pandemic, and they assigned Pottinger to start pushing lockdowns and masks on the Whitehouse taskforce, and to inform them that China was showing a lot of *asymptomatic spread. Pottinger's job was to run Birx, who would then run the White House Coronavirus team. Fauci was more of the spokesperson, and behind the scenes, Birx was in charge of convincing the Taskforce and State Governors of the importance of lengthy lockdowns, school closures, mask wearing, and social distancing, showing her colorful charts to convince people that the pandemic could be controlled no other way. Once Birx took over, Pottinger backed out but continued to be a go between for Birx and the DOD/CIA, giving her instructions.

Yes, makes sense, since Birx was working for the CIA.

I get this feeling that the second opinion was denied to leaders all over the world.

I just wish I had listened to myself instead of following the heard and getting jabbed.

If I knew I could have had an antibody test I would have had before subjecting myself to unnecessary vaccines.

Fortunately, you have several wonderful doctors, Kory and McCullough are two, who are treating the jabbed.

Does it work?

You can check Kory's FLCCC website to read about their recommendations for ridding yourself of the spike protein. They are particularly encouraged by Intermittant Fasting, whichbis described there. You can make an appointment with Dr. Kory there, who is focused primarily on helping people rid themselves of the spike protein.

Fantastic piece. Felt like I could have written the first few paragraphs. Feeling like a crazy person for disagreeing with the pandemic response was a feeling I hope never to have again. Arguing with family members who claimed that I cared more about “money” than people when I said shutting down the economy would be disastrous. When I first found Alex Berenson’s tweets in April 2020, it was like finally someone is saying what I’m thinking! It felt like the whole world had gone mad.
