The propaganda term, "misinformation"
The propaganda term, "misinformation"
Why do we need information other than that provided by the authorities in order to reject the official narrative?
There is a propagandistic implication behind the term “misinformation” that the authorities make valid claims and the reason people reject them is that they are being misled by information from other sources, however, those who reject their claims may base their rejection merely on the information provided by the authorities themselves on the basis that it doesn’t support their claims, they may not take a single step towards any other source but simply reject the claims using their critical thinking skills.
It’s often not a question of which information is relied on but how information is interpreted.
Let’s consider a number of pieces of information either provided by the authorities or that is otherwise non-controversial:
1. Exercises: In the two years prior to the pandemic the following exercises were conducted: Pandemic tabletop exercises, Event 201 (Oct 2019) and Clade X (2018); joint exercise by US agencies to respond to a severe pandemic of influenza originating in China, Crimson Contagion (2019).
We were told that the covid pandemic is an exercise: in a press conference on March 20, 2020, Mike Pompeo says: “We’re in a live exercise here,” after which Donald Trump says quietly and impassively, “You should have let us … you should have let us know.” How does Pompeo’s statement and Trump’s response make sense for a real pandemic? We were told on the World Economic Forum website, Lockdown is the world's biggest psychological experiment ...
2. Hospital anomalies:
There are very good reasons for believing that some footage at least from hospitals crying “pandemic” is really of drills, for example, this BBC news item, Covid frontline: harrowing scenes from London intensive care unit as deaths soar, shot in University College Hospital, London.
We see alleged ICU patients sitting beside their bed or with only an oxygen tube.
There are no clear signs that these patients need ICU care.
We’re told that they have converted wards to ICU but there is no clear evidence of this.
We see staff roles scribbled on their facemasks.
We also wouldn’t expect filming in a genuine ICU situation, especially in the midst of a serious pandemic.
CBC apologizes for using fake patients and training facility in COVID-19 story.
CBS used Italian footage for a New York story.
Debbie Hicks walked the corridors of Gloucestershire Royal Hospital filming and found little sign of activity despite the hospital reporting it was extremely busy.
How do so many medical staff have time to rehearse dance routines when they’re supposedly under massive pandemic pressure?
3. No determination of illness other than test: The alleged covid doesn't have a distinctive set of symptoms telling it apart from cold, flu, pneumonia, or other respiratory illnesses. There is no clinical diagnosis of the disease and if testing stopped tomorrow we'd have no clue that anyone had covid as distinct from other respiratory illnesses. While now we are being told that suffering the alleged covid may result in myocarditis this condition is a known side-effect of the jab.
4. Test not valid: It is admitted by the authorities that there is no gold standard test for the alleged covid and the PCR test is not a diagnostic test, stated clearly on its packet (“For use under an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) Only”, “clinical correlation with patient history and other diagnostic information is necessary to determine patient infection status. Positive results do not rule out bacterial infection or co-infection with other viruses. The agent detected may not be the definite cause of disease.”) and yet "cases" are based purely on the result of the test, not on a clinical diagnosis.
5. Low mortality in Australia: According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, covid was the 38th leading cause of death in 2020 but is nevertheless shown at the bottom of the Top 20 causes of death table. According to the statistics, in 2019 flu and pneumonia caused more than four times the number of deaths of covid and yet no enforced measures were taken and nor did we hear about the number of cases or mortality in the media in any memorable way.
Hypothetically, if we were told about a respiratory illness that didn’t have a distinctive set of symptoms, wasn’t diagnosed clinically but determined by a non-standard test and was ranked as 38th leading cause of death our expectations would not be that our country would enforce unprecedented measures that turned our lives upside down.
6. Other health conditions present at time of death: According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, it was reported in February 2022 that more than 90 per cent of those who died from COVID-19 had other health conditions. Most of the deaths – 91.4 per cent – had other health conditions listed on the victim’s death certificate. On average, deaths due to COVID-19 had 2.7 other diseases and conditions certified alongside the virus. Dr Scott Jensen, a family physician and Minnesota senator and Vice-Chair of the Health and Human Services Committee in the Senate at the time, speaks about the implementation of adjustment of how death certificates were completed and advice from the CDC to doctors to put down cause of death as COVID-19 if they felt it played a contributing role.
7. Alternative explanation for excess mortality: While the overall excess mortality spike in Europe in April 2020 might lead us to suspect the presence of a novel illness, as shown by Dr Sam Bailey, when we break the figures down by country (set the end date marker to 2020-25) we see there is no excess spike (that is the spike is no greater at that time of year compared to previous years) in Portugal and Germany, two countries that didn’t implement either of the aggressive drug trials, the Oxford Recovery and the WHO Solidarity trial. Very little publicity of the problems with these trials was covered by the media but France-Soir published this article, Oxford, Recovery et Solidarity: Overdosage in two clinical trials with acts considered criminal?
Other measures that can be inferred increased mortality include:
dangerous discharge of sick elderly people from hospital to care homes
end of life protocols established in care homes for those not near end of life
use of excessive narcotics and aggressive antiviral trials
Of course, isolation kills people too.
8. No enforcement of mask hygiene: There is great debate about the effectiveness of masks in the first place but regardless, if we were to consider masks played any positive role, dirty masks would surely not be considered effective against infection by anyone. The rules, however, only required a mask to be worn with no monitoring of level of hygiene and many people wore masks purely for compliance’ sake – they pulled out masks that had been here, there and everywhere purely to comply with the rules. What we can infer from this very obviously ineffective measure is that masks were about appearance only, nothing to do with health.
9. Contradictory (to the point of hilarity) guidelines: In addition to the mask problem, guidelines in general were confusing and contradictory which undermines the credibility of all of them.
Critical thinking or reliance on “misinformation”?
How can it be disputed that a person who rejects the claim that there was a pandemic on the basis that the information provided by the authorities does not support it is simply applying critical thinking and is not in the least being misled by “misinformation”?
