No, that isn’t a frivolous question, though perhaps it should be reworded to something like should we be worried by Covid?
First, let us make one point absolutely clear, the relevant “individuals” in China and anywhere else who were responsible for unleashing this monstrosity on the world need to be held to account. If there is any connection with the United States, the chances of that ever happening are wafer thin, certainly if the persons concerned vote Democrat. Now returning to the subject at hand, here are a few statistics.
Australia, one of the countries with the most Draconian anti-Covid measures saw life expectancy rise from 83.2 years in 2018 to 83.35 in 2019 to 83.5 last year to 83.64 this year.
France saw life expectancy rise from 82.46 years in 2018 to 82.59 in 2019 to 82.73 last year to 82.86 this year.
India saw life expectancy rise from 69.27 years in 2018 to 69.5 in 2019 to 69.73 last year to 69.96 this year.
Finally, life expectancy in the UK was 81.15 years in 2018 rising to 81.27 in 2019 to 81.4 last year to 81.52 this year.
India has a massive population, more than one person in six on the entire planet lives in India, yet although life expectancy lags way behind say France, it is still increasing. This begs the question, if people are living longer everywhere, how can so many people be dying from Covid?
The answer is simple, people are dying from Covid instead of influenza. Influenza is a massive killer, especially of the elderly, but it has all but disappeared in the past year or so. Some experts were warning of a double dose of deaths – Covid and influenza – but whether it is viral interference or something else, that massive threat hasn’t materialised. In short, we have nothing to fear above our normal fear of death. So why are mask mandates being implemented by the Biden Administration and civil liberties being trampled on in Australia? Why are Google and other tech giants so keen to censor dissenting opinions or even at times proven facts? As Rahm Emanuel said, never let a good crisis go to waste.
In short, the Covid panic is being promoted to destroy our freedoms on the usual pretext of protecting us; it has also become an industry, and unless something is done it will soon become comparable to the anti-smoking industry, the anti-drug industry or the sexual grievance industry. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t take sensible precautions as with influenza, but it does mean we should not bow to mandates, to vaccine passports, or any of the other Draconian measures being forced on us by at times not-so-well-meaning people in high places. As Donald Trump said, the cure can’t be worse than the disease.

The only thing you got right was the last paragraph. All the rest is complete and utter BULLSHIT.
If you disagree with the statistics for life expectancy, I suggest you take that up with the source.
The source that you link to stated ” United Nations projections are also included through the year 2100.” The U.N. projects recent years strictly on the basis of the immediately prior years. But the U.N. also publishes a separate report, that is without that (has no estimates) but purely calculated upon the reported deaths. It is this: https://population.un.org/wpp/ and its latest year of publication is 2019, and its latest year reported is 2018. Consequently, no actual data have yet been calculated worldwide for the years 2019, 2020, and 2021. All authors on this site who are so sloppy as that with… Read more »
Dear me, the dude wants me censored! If you consult other sources you will find much the same. Dan Bongino recently mentioned viral interference. The point is that influenza deaths have if not disappeared entirely then reduced drastically. If people are living just as long as before Covid or even slightly longer, there is no more of a Covid pandemic than an annual influenza pandemic. On top of that, the masking and other mandates are ludicrous. For the record, I have been vaccinated and have no problem with it, but people need to be free to choose, especially as by… Read more »
“.For the record, I have been vaccinated and have no problem with it, ….”
I am sorry to say, you will have a problem with your mRNA “vaccine” in the next few years. Your body will go into a Cytokine Storm when you come into contact with Influenza, and the Trillions of Spike Proteins, you foolishly got injected in your body, will start attacking your own immune system.
Your Tombstone will read – Died 202? Only the last digit is unknown, TheDarkMan.
I am 65 years old and without going into too much detail I am grateful to have lived this long. Vaccines are a trade-off; as Thomas Sowell points out, economics – and life – is a trade-off. I have lived most of my life in London, a city that has been subjected to numerous terrorist attacks from the IRA in the 1970s to mad Islamists today. On the morning of 7/7 I travelled into Central London. Had I travelled an hour earlier, I might have been blown up. I choose to live here, which for me is the greatest city… Read more »
I would gladly give up all the technologies and social wars that you refer to in order to have my privacy and freedom back. Excellent article
If you think my post is hyperbole, then ask a good Doctor to do a D-Dimer Test on you. If you did indeed get a mRNA Poison Jab (or “Vaccine” as you mistakenly called it), you will find that your body is now suffering from numerous micro blood clots, Aka Microvascular Thrombosis.
Hope you had a placebo. These “Experimental Gene Therapy Trials” are just that: there also will be placebo injections. But the bottom line: by getting vexxed you have chosen to believe the authorities in that you have chosen to fear NATURE. We most likely would not exist IF it wasn’t due to our inherent IMMUNITY interacting ALL THE TIME with the environment. How the hell else would we have survived throughout Humans existance? No $$Trillion$$ make work and tyranny will ever compete with Humans natural inherent Immunity. CoVid1984 is just the Influenza + Pneumonia complex, weaponized and sensationalized by narrative… Read more »
I am 78 and have no intention of getting vaccinated. As I haven’t had even a common cold since before this Covid business started, I see no reason to. Am I a fool?
I have had nothing and refuse to participate in this giant extortionist racket.
“The site ought to raise its standards in this way, so as to reduce the amount of false ‘information’ that’s published on it.” Eric Zuesse – you’re the champion of misinformation in regard to Covid and last person who should call for cancelling of other people. While, in fact, in an open society, nobody should be banned from talking, the amount of falsehood and propaganda you’ve spread on this very site, since beginning of plandemia, is hard to top, and knowing that you are the Trojan horse here, it’s hardly a surprise you openly call for censoring other people from… Read more »
It was the second paragraph that clearly showed your ignorance of past and current events.
Trolls better seek a real job. Statistics lie, numbers dont. In 2020 there was no pandemic as CDC and EU equivalents counted lower corona influenza deaths in 2020 compared to previous years and notorious flu season 2017/2018.
You are right, the numbers don’t lie. Like the number of ‘jabbed’ filling hospital beds with ‘breakthrough infections’ and dying in large numbers (up to 80% of all hospital admissions for ‘covid’ are double jabbed).
Whether there is or isn’t a pandemic is not helped by the fact that Spanish and Swiss studies have shown PCR+35-40 as 3% accurate. Never mind the test 1. can’t determine if a gene is alive or dead and 2. was never intended to be used as it is being used – as a diagnostic. It was intended to be used as an indicator. So you have numbers that are far from accurate. Even the positives can be false positives. You have people with serious pre-existing conditions being listed as covid deaths while using a 3% accurate test. Reality is… Read more »
It was Winston Churchill who first said, “Never let a good crisis go to waste.” And he was paraphrasing Machiavelli.
well put.
How utterly tiring all these mindless, fear mongering statements. So then, tell us, of WHAT have thousands died? And continue to die.
Around 600k people die in the UK every year. but if they are dying at the same rate and the same age then clearly Covid is having no effect. As I point out, people are dying from Covid instead of influenza. Obviously we’d rather they died of neither, but are we going to continue this madness or get on as before? And that’s before we talk about statists exploiting it to destroy our freedoms.
One thing we do know is we cannot rely on the government, the corporate media or monopoly digital platforms for truth. There are so much deliberate disinformation deceit and contradictions pumped out every day it makes your head swim. For example the US CDC admitted only 6% of deaths during the surge and media hype were actually from COVID, the other 94% were from comorbidities. That didn’t stop the fearmongering and lies. We know the oligarchs’ ordered their sock puppets to exaggerate the deaths; commingle influenza deaths with COVID to up the numbers to stoke more fear and hysteria. We… Read more »
