The people who said it was a "bad chest cold" were right.

This has been a brake-check on the West, and on Trump specifically.

While Hong Kong has been swallowed whole.

Please keep fighting the good fight, Mr. Schachtel.

There are a lot of bad actors on social media, whose comms history and connection to driving the panic in January, need to be sorted out and called out. I myself believed more than I should have believed, and am ashamed at my contributions to needless deaths in the US.

I will never forgive people like Eric Feigl-Ding and Scott Gottlieb, or Carl T. Bergstrom at UW who stomped all over Aaron Ginn at the same time the UW Covid Team was excited about HCQ, or even Yale's Nicholas Christakis musing about how the force needed to stop the spread of coronavirus in China (welding apartment doors shut) giving us actionable data on... the infectiousness? or the lethality? of coronavirus.

Have you seen this that shows the role of hundreds of thousands of CCP Twitter accounts in pushing the lockdown narrative and panic on social media? https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1270925788389486593.html?refreshed=1598261255

China never messed up. This is all an intentional psy-op run by the globalists and people like Gates. China is in on the game. It's an intentional ploy to reset the worlds economy and remove the US dollar from the world stage. Look at the big picture folks. Covid-19 is world war 3 is psyop form. And China won.

Most successful psychological operation in history.

Even though they locked down Wuhan, they allowed international flights out. This had the effect of causing any foreigners to immediately flee, thereby ensuring that it would infect other countries.

This is likely one of the effects the Chinese authorities counted on.

Excellent, informative essay. I just linked to it from mine, "Has New York City achieved herd immunity?" https://bit.ly/3jkrqgW

It was definetely not all for nothing!

It went exactly as planned, or rather, even better than they could have dreamed up in their wildest dreams.

They deliberately did it and subsequently faked their numbers to entice us to do the same and thereby ruin us, so that we would become financially, militarily and strategically very much weaker.

We not only fell for it and went along, we overdid it and are still overdoing it, can't find an exit and, above all, killed our democracies as well, which is of course also fully in China's interest.

The earlier biggest deception was by the USA depicting WMD in Iraq. Iran and Israel benefitted 😄

China messed up. to an immeasurable degree. i cant prove it but, here's the nutshell... They mistook C19 for something far far worse. Something much more 'potent' that they knew existed in the wuhan lab. their reaction was one of wild unbridled speculation that they were in big trouble. they pulled out all the stops , and it turned out to be just C19- that they knew or understood quickly was much less dangerous. so the images of death on the streets of wuhan could be a false attempt at covering up their over-reaction. again, i have very little doubt that they thought something much worse than c19 was released from the wuhan lab.

The 21 million could NOT pay their cell phone bill!

I'm still going with their MIIT's recording a loss of 21 million (or so) cell phone accounts during the period of 12/19-03/20 as being a truer reflection of their body count than the BS figures coming out of 'official' Beijing.
