And all the money the hospitals got, millions for fake Covid deaths. Why were the hospitals financially incentivized to do this? They wanted people to die. I hope and pray I NEVER have to go to a hospital again my whole life. They were EVIL during Covid. We will never forget or forgive them for killing our family members.
Exactly. The public health establishment directed state governors to put a halt to elective medical procedures, and in so doing they created a financial crisis for hospitals. Congress then responded to this crisis by offering healthcare providers economic assistance in the form of generous economic subsidies and bonus payments for any case that could be classified as covid.

I get your point, but let's face it. The US debt is way higher than tax payers could ever pay off. Everything we print and spend today just adds to the gigantic debt that someday will crush the currency. I am hoping that day is after I am dead, because it won't be pleasant.
They were incentivized because the government promised them capital goodies, like enough money to refurbish hospital grounds, new equipment, new telephone systems. I saw it all materialize at my own hospital. I kept thinking to myself, wow, we're supposedly in the middle of the Second Black Plague and they're remodeling the entire building? Do hospitals plan evacuations to fit in with their remodeling schedules?
Lately I've been wondering who holds the most power in our society.
I'm inclined to lean toward the media, because what power could be greater than telling almost everyone what to think, what to feel, who/what to like, who/what to hate, who/what to fear etc...Just look at the lab-leak issue: how much intense brainwashing power was involved in getting people to Skinner box their brains to the point that a laboratory error in Wuhan was "racist" but that the Chinese eating fried critters wasn't? Or that a barely tested pharmaceutical product had to injected immediately by the entire country or else you would be the moral and hygienic equivalent of a plague rat?
But then I remember that what we call the media is mostly owned by a handful of global corporations, and that these corps work hand-in-glove with NGOs and governments, who all support, staff, subsidize and protect each other. All these people and orgs have created an interlocking system of control where they can both give you a disease (even if it's just "transphobia" or "internalized misogny" lol) and then either sell you the cure or have you ruined for refusing to take the cure.
I guess my point is that 1) our globalized media ecosystem, more specifically the algorithms that control and manipulate our thoughts and feelings on such a massive and total yet subtle scale, may be a tool more powerful than anything ever invented, a sort of cognitive and metaphysical A bomb; and 2) a global system of social control seems to be our near future and the Covid mass hysteria was just a beta test for it.
If these global power centers were able to shut down whole societies based on some manipulated videos and fake studies and statistics, were able to turn one half of society into ideological enforcers against the other side, demand that everyone roll up their sleeves and bow down to Pfizer—AND GET AWAY WITH IT!—they will be doing this again, most certainly before the end of this decade.
Our future seems to be some combo of Matrix, Idiocracy, and Skynet.
Thanks! and thanks for putting this all together, much appreciated.
Is hard to say if Covid was one Big Lie or a series of smaller lies swimming together like a school of plankton, but either way all this needs cataloging.
I'm going with the school of plankton view. Three examples:
[1] Fauci et al realized this was man-made and was going to "reflect poorly" on them, so the immediate misinformation to the public that it was from a bat and anyone who said otherwise is a racist white wing nutter. Because of Trump, the media played along and carried Fauci's water.
[2] As of Feb 2020, Trump was looking like a lock to win a second term. All the shit they had flung at him up to that point (culminating with the Pelosi-tears-up-the-SOU-speech-tantrum) was not getting the job done. So, here was their chance to [1] smear Trump with all things COVID. The more deaths hysteria lockdowns, the better. Plus, loosen all voting rules, and make it super easy to "get out the vote" so to speak.
[3] This was a Godsend for Pfizer and Moderna. They became (if not already) the number one sponsors of CNN and NPR, probably a lot of other media outlets, and the propaganda machine took off.
What is less clear to me is why item no. 1 needs to be a team red or team blue dispute? What these guys were doing in this lab is not "progressive" or "conservative". Why democrats and the media became so obsessed with censoring anything lab leak related is beyond me to understand. I would think that, of all people, the ones most scared of COVID (NPR listeners, NYT readers) would be really curious about how this virus was created, and perhaps policies to ensure it does not happen again.
Item no. 2 is easy. Anything to dump Trump is good.
Item no. 3 is, again, a bit baffling. A lot of the same NPR listeners and NYT readers have probably had tetanus shots and/or flu shots. I don't think they thought those shots would not offer them any protection unless everyone else go the same tetanus shots and/or flu shots? Yet, with COVID shots, they lapped up the idea that their own COVID shots were ineffective unless everyone else got the same COVID shots. It was very clear early on 2021, that the shots did not stop the spread of COVID. So why "vaccine passports" and all of the hysteria about not wanting to be near anyone unvaccinated? If you had your shots, why isn't that the end of it?
My wife and I took exactly one COVID test, in early November 2020, because it was the only way we could travel to stay in our Hawaii house without being subject to two weeks house arrest. We both received "negative" results, fortunately, so we did not have to deal with the false positive experience. By mid-2021, Hawaii allowed a "proof of vaccine" card in lieu of a negative test result. They finally dropped the whole nonsense when the federal funding ran out in May 2022.
"Why democrats and the media became so obsessed with censoring anything lab leak related is beyond me to understand."
I'm not any kind of conspiracist and I always try to avoid monocausal explanations, but as you said in point 2, so much of this was about ending Trump by any means necessary, and if that meant burning through civil liberties or even burning down sections of cities, no price was too large to pay. (especially as with so many of our modern moral emergencies, the costs are paid by others.)
As for the lab leak, I think it could have easily gone the other way: if Trump had blamed the virus on fried pangolin, the NYT/NPR class would have backed the lab-leak theory. In this case I'm guided by the intense confirmation bias that seems to have conquered the brains of our MSM/liberal class: in the Trump era all of existence is a Manicheaen battle between their team, who reside on the Right Side of History and who are tolerant and compassionate vs. the other team (the Deplorables) who are all simply evil bigots motivated entirely by racism. Thus they are never not primed to unleash an avalanche of bigotry accusations, as this most perfectly and effectively expresses their worldview. Once the man said "Kung Flu" the battles line were drawn, the scripts memorized, the roles solidified, and nothing mattered except cosplaying (once again) the March on Selma, with Trumpists the new segregationists and his supposed "anti-Chinese racism" the new Jim Crow.
Yeah, so many seemingly disparate issues always circle back to talking about the media, especially the despicable 24-7 broadcast variety which is untouchable, unaccountable and in the ascendancy.
I do Ancestry and I must have seen hundreds, and hundreds of death certificates, not pleasant. My grandfather whom I never knew had a stroke 3 years prior to his death. He developed acute bronchial pneumonia, but his cause of his death is listed as acute bronchitis which he developed shortly before he died. You see this type of thing repeatedly, and it's absurd in determining what actual caused this person to die. You have to read it as acute bronchitis was the icing on the cake that killed him. Using death certificates is relatively meaningless, unless you sit down and take in the whole health history of a person. Like everything else it seems the medical profession looks at things in a non holistic way. When you go to a doctor he addresses your immediate issue, but never inquires about your sleep patterns, diet, exercise, the degree of stress in your life, etc. Too often their cure is a pill to fix you.
Great point! The finality of death belies the complications involved with determining its cause. The pathways to mortality from disease can be multivariable, so much so that cause of death is often open to interpretation. One coroner put it this way, “In many deaths from diseases, where you have multiple comorbidities, ten different coroners or physicians could possibly give you the different versions of the ‘immediate’ and ‘due to’ causes of death.”
There’s plenty of academic literature on the difficulties of determining cause of mortality and the issue of death certificate accuracy. Studies (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4504663/) at various academic institutions have found errors in cause and/or manner of death certification to occur in approximately 33% to 41% of cases.
And, normally, it does not really matter. The person is dead, as is every person who ever lived that is not still alive.
When it matters is Money. If someone gets money based on the cause of death, then it matters. It can also matter for establishing criminal legal liability. And no doubt a lot of research $$$.
We are all born, and then immediately start the aging to dying process. Cause of death? Being previously alive.
In the US flavor of English common tort law, there is this notion of "proximate cause" for the vary reasons you point out, because there are often (almost always) multiple direct and indirect causes for something that happens. I apologize for linking a Wikipedia entry, but this one is mostly devoid of ideological bias: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proximate_cause
Then there were these kinds of things: A motorcycle accident kills a young man, but the authorities said it was covid. And they wonder why we watch Fox. Could it be Fox is better at real journalism than the Times?
And yet, if I try to mention any of this to my friends, they refuse to even consider it. At the very most they will acknowledge that the vaccines didn't prevent infection, "But it would've been much worse."
Spokane, Washington station KXLY just came out with a new article regarding covid, helping to keep people fearful:
"Going back to school can also trigger an uptick in cases. The Spokane Regional Health District is increasing its efforts to stop the spread.
"Since October, 2021, Spokane Regional Health District has been testing sewage that comes through two wastewater facilities for COVID-19. But, now they can tell which variants are in the area. This helps doctors better respond—especially, when there's an uptick in cases.
"When you look at that, it allows you to then determine that perhaps in the next couple of weeks, we're going to see more cases and if we're going to see more cases, that's important information, for example, for partners in healthcare, so they can be ready and get the resources lined up," Dr. Frank Velázquez, Spokane County Health Officer said."
"Cases are still relatively low—especially compared to winter. But, there was a slight increase at the end of June. Cases might pick up again in August, when it's back to school time. One parent said she trusts the school district's guidelines.
"If the kids are supposed to wear masks, that's great. And yeah, I really felt like the school district did a great job last time. So they're going to school," Suzie Pham, a Spokane mom said.
The Anatomy of a Shit Show chart is great! And really important to shoot down the “but we didn’t know” excuse. As you point out, the relevant points were already known in March of 2020. If they didn’t know, they should not be in charge of anything to do with public health.
Many of us were skeptical early on, thank goodness.
It will be interesting to see where the numbers are, of people taking boosters?
I never took a/the shot, never took a test and was never sick. I haven't taken a flu shot in 30 years and haven't had a bad case of flu or even a bad cold in all that time.
I will also be interesting to see what happens to the blood of those who had jabs and those who didn't.
Are boosters still a thing? Do they hand them out paid by the gubmit, or do you have to pay for them yourself? My wife and I got the original shots in spring 2021, mostly so we could travel to our Hawaii house without house arrest. We never bothered with any of the boosters, since they were not required. Hawaii threatened that they were going to be required, but this never materialized, and instead the whole program ended.
If they still do have boosters, how often do they change, and how long are the supposedly effective?
In May of 2022, my husband had to take a Covid test for a hospital procedure he was having, and it came up positive. He wasn't sick at all.
So, I went and took a test and also came up positive, and wasn't sick.
To make a long story short, he ended up in the hospital, a week later, for other complications due to not being able to have his procedure and died 22 days later, after being sent to a Long Care Facility that night.
He may have died from kidney failure even if he had the procedure, but we won't know will we?
We had just returned from a vacation in Colorado for several days, so at least I have those wonderful memories, and 36 years of marriage.
Sometimes it can be more then a glitch so I didn't trust it. So many phony phone calls trying d to get information on you for no good purpose. Better safe then sorry.

I think I heard "we" should be getting them ahead of the flu season.
Last Fauci said was we would need them at least yearly.
I have no idea, though. Since I don't take any of them I only slightly pay attention.
Maybe someone else will know? Jennifer Brown on Substack may!
Another outstanding piece! (By the way, I believe it's George Gilder, not Geoffrey.)
Great comprehensive account of the scamdemic. Well done
Let’s do the math if we can. How many “with” deaths were counted as from?
MSM will memory hole these lies in the coming election cycle.
In May of 2022, my husband had to take a Covid test for a hospital procedure he was having, and it came up positive. He wasn't sick at all.
