    There Is No Pandemic - LewRockwell

    Analyses of British and US data by Genevieve Briand of Johns Hopkins shows that death numbers attributed to covid have been misleading. She is an economist.

    Very interesting reading.

    400,000 people dead in the US alone says that is a lie.

    No, statistical analysis by an economist.

    I suspected you would not bother to read the article--it threatens your worldview. Unpleasant news that you would rather not read.

    Gosh ... who to believe. The thousands of nurses and doctors in Emergency Wards who are dealing with this
    every day on the front lines for the last 10 months, or a random economist working in an Ivory Tower ... ?

    Thinking ...


    Thinking ...

    So much drama and so little thinking, typical of the view that unpleasant facts shall not be considered. Much too dangerous.

    I guess you missed the spike in deaths in March-May 2020, that is evident from the graph in you source? Plus, conveniently, the graph stops in October, when the second wave just started rolling in. Typical cherry picking of data that support a bogus partisan viewpoint.

    It's so cute that you think nurses and doctors are just putting people in ICU cause they're bored and need a pretense to
    justify their working 36 hour shifts.

    I'm guessing you did not read the article. The spike you reference is noted and part of the analysis in the article.

    I don't think that. Why would you make such a silly damn post? Are posts a window into the mind of a poster? Are you that desperate in your chosen position defending a magnificent deception?

    This guy is an anarcho-capitalist, according to the site. Most of the topics look like junk. Sounds like a good reason to ignore him.

    A good lesson for life, eh? Always think as a site tells you to think. Never do any thinking on your own, always do what the church tells you to do. Always reject any material not approved by the church.

    LOL! I'm an atheist!
    Look; you should always find out where advice comes from when considering whether it's good or not. This is definately not.

    I've covered some of Briand's webinar before. Unless she's come up with something new, I'd have flunked my econ classes if I tried this ****, and there's a reason it was in a webinar instead of actually getting published in a peer-reviewed publication.

    And I want a doctor to manage economy!

    How can we trust an economist about sanitary matters?
    My educational is economical and I do know that economists guess ... so imagine if they can say something about a pandemic!
    As for myself, I've changed field. Now I know what a pandemic is.

    Heaven is where the cooks are French, the police are British, the mechanics are German, the lovers are Italian and everything is organized by the Swiss.

    Maybe that website may have had some marginal credibility 10 years ago, but now that Lewrockwell.com and its whackdoodle crazies now makes the other supermarket tabloids with stories of alien babies look like intelligent places.

    Lewrockwell is a typical nutcase looking for audience. Nothing else.

    Let's not feed the troll [you should know this "internet commandment"].

    Just a note: Lew Rockwell sustained Ron Paul. This says a lot about him.

    Agreed, very interesting. A screenshot of the article that includes a graph is, I think, particularly revealing:

    For the curious, open-minded and informed person, the whole truth is that we are in a PLANDEMIC. The joke is on you. :roflol:

    Here is some advice for you Luke--when you've lost the debate, always attack the messenger.

    When you have no sensible or relevant reply to the subject matter, always attack the messenger. It's a sure sign of loser status.
