The A-Z Of Covid-19: The Awful, Terrible, No-Good 24 Months

“There is no scientific truth, only replicable science. Then it becomes theory, but not law. And not truth. There are fundamental laws of physics that have been overturned. Law is not truth, law is law, and in science, law can be overturned.” Clayton Fox, Tablet

The Covid-19 pandemic has not been about law or truth or the virus itself. The issue has been the inability of our vaunted healthcare— pride of the nation— to deal with the surge produced in 2020 and 2021. Despite assurances from politicians, administrators and media, it collapsed, causing the deaths of tens of thousands who didn’t have Covid at all.

If nothing else the two-year calamity known as #Covid-19 has provided an entry-level symposium on science. Or "The Science”, according to people like Justin Trudeau who have no idea about science. Here is the A-Z on what we’ve learned about the terrible, awful, no good, very bad 24 months.

A is for Antibodies, natural immunity. T cells. They were, originally, nature’s miracle workers. When anti-vaxxers suddenly claimed they were better than vaccines, natural immunity was shunned by White Coats who demanded compliance to The Science. Now, after the failure of boosters to end the pandemic, natural immunities are again declared ten times better than boosters. Because Science.

B is for Bats. From Chinese caves to your memorial service, the winged creatures were the unloved vehicles that brought the virus to the world. All it took was a little gain-of-function, a few international flights and— voila— five million dead.

C is for Covid Convoy. Truckers were heroes till Skippy Trudeau decided to revoke their border-crossing status for indeterminate reasons. So they came to Ottawa to protest. Trudeau called them Nazis, misogynists, racists and more. Then he hid. Now we have martial law. And maybe a run on the banks. Go figure.

D is for Deaths. With Covid. From Covid. Caused by Covid precautions. Accompanied by Covid co-morbidities. Average age of Covid death is still 82 years old. So make kids wear masks all the time and stay at home. Even though they don’t die of Covid, and they’re very poor spreaders of the virus.

E is for Election. Because, let’s be honest. The Dems were doomed till Covid came along. Not believing their luck they used it to beat Trump. And get the media to STFU about Hunter Biden. Okay, hundreds of thousands died, often away from their loved ones. But you can’t make a Biden omelette without a few broken eggs.

F is for Fauci Fear. He went from Time Man of the Year to Man Out Of Time when his Chinese connections exposed him as a dog killer. Making half a million a year at age 81 didn’t help his image either. Or saying criticizing him was criticizing Science. But that’s what happens when you use burner phones to orchestrate results that keep China happy.

G is for Gain of Function. See Fauci (above). In trying to hide his multiple Chinese flip/ flops on whether he’d funded the deadly virus research Fauci inadvertently revealed he’d funded cruel experiments on beagles. Then he tried to explain medical experiments were better for dogs than being dinner from the Wuhan wet market. Americans still don’t know why he was paying for Frankenstein science.

H is for Hydroxychloriquine. Around forever for treating malaria, hydroxy showed promising results in early therapeutic treatment of Covid symptoms. Then Trump mentioned it. Suddenly the CDC banned it from consideration among the proper people. CNN called it voodoo. If you persisted you were kicked off Facebook. Again, people died, but Joe Biden.

I is for Ivermectin. Or as the MSNBC college of surgeons called it, horse de-wormer— forgetting that established drugs can have multiple applications in therapeutics ie. popular blood thinner warfarin is rat poison. Again, ivermectin was abandoned due to Trump interest. Let ‘em die. He’s not getting any wins.

J is for Junk science. See H) and I) above. Anything not considered a new vaccine produced by mega-corps was junk as far as the WHO/ CDC and Health Canada was considered. (And their pool-boy media) So no early treatment. No vitamin therapy. No Alex Berenson on Twitter preaching heresy about less-than-perfect vaccines. Cancel him in the interest of Science. Or Joe Biden. Take your pick. Neither is what it used to be.

K is for Kids. The fulcrum of unnecessary infection paranoia. So dangerous that U17s were banished home for schooling, had their sports and activities cancelled, were forced to wear masks everywhere but bed. Couldn’t see their grandparents. COVID deaths account for 0.673 percent of all deaths among U.S. children under 17— almost all of them with co-morbidities. They produce samples too minimal to kill Granny. Still they’re masked and distanced in many so-called progressive areas.

L is for Lies. To maintain the purity of the narrative it became necessary to create new realities. The Virus didn’t come from the Wuhan lab. The virus can come off of surfaces. Six feet is the distance to avoid transmission. Cloth and paper masks prevent transmission. You can hold your breath if Magic Johnson says, “Hey, let’s take a selfie”. But greatest of all: 15 days to flatten the curve.

M is for Morbidities. While WHO/ CDC/ Health Canada/ media promoted universal vulnerability, statistics showed that co-morbitdies were real keys to death in over-60s: obesity, hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular disease, respiratory disease, kidney disease, and malignancy. While those people were fast tracked for beds, anti-vaxxers were sent to education camps in Australia.

N is for New Normal. Wearing masks 24/7. Distancing in lineups. Obsessive hand sanitizing. Working from home. Fist bumping. Isolating in homes. Parties with four or fewer people. Cancelling friends who don’t agree with your fears. All now normal.

O is for O’Toole Orthodoxy. While Trudeau slavishly followed the WHO (read: Chinese) script, causing severe societal strain, CPC leader Erin O’Toole stood aside twiddling his thumbs as civil liberties and freedoms were eliminated. Played Liberal Lite in a very winnable election. Lost badly. Replaced by the 2022 Convoy. Good riddance.

P is for Passports. Speaking of losing civil liberties and freedoms, the imposition of public-health passports might have been the worst (before the Emergency Measures Act). Allowing waiters, bus drivers, pool boys, bar bouncers, flight attendants and ticket takers to examine your private health record sanctioned by government. Because Science.

Q is for Quarantine. Vestige of when political leaders thought they could out-run the virus using test-and-trace whack-a-mole. Leaving the elderly to die awful, lonely deaths in LT care facilities. Spectacular failure culminating in Trudeau locking up Canadians returning to country in hotels they had to pay for. Upside was seeing every Netflix/ Prime series while locked in home for 14 days.

R is for Rogan. Once a comedian/ martial arts guy, now vilified by the Covid Cult for having dissenters on his wildly popular (10 million +) podcast. Peak Rogan was Neil Young’s demand he be kicked off Spotify for sins against the orthodoxy. After a momentary bobble in which he apologized for upsetting Karens he seems back on message track.

S is for Swab. There may be more annoying things in life than having a swab jammed into your nasal cavities by worker dressed like hazmat specialist. But for the moment can’t think what they are.

T is for Tam & Trudeau. The Glitter Twins of the pandemic in Canada. Reversed all early mask/ travel/ distance research in favour of WHO-recommended Chinese lockdown scheme in mid-2000. Refused to budge despite clear evidence that epidemiologists shouldn’t be running the economy or communications. The origin of the Convoy discontent.

U is for Useless PCR positives. Despite clear evidence from even Fauci that viral testing with too many cycles provided 75 percent false positives, Canadian/ American governments, sports leagues, educators, airlines etc still used them exclusively to ruin your life. And media employed them to achieve peak virus fear. Unconscionable. But Science.

V is for Ventilators. In 2020 they were the lifesaver demanded by people like governors Andrew Cuomo, Phil Murphy and Gavin Newsom. Manufacturers adapted production lines to making them. Then it was discovered they were lethal to the very ill. Now? Crickets.

W is for Wuhan/ WHO. The Bethlehem of Covid 19 and its Three Kings. Concerted efforts by the Chinese, WHO and implicated Western medical pooh-bahs have stalled definitive proof of the virus’ origins. Current line: Wuhan lab: 2-1; Wuhan wet market 5-1. Winnipeg lab: 25-1. Asteroid landing in China: 10,000- 1.

X is for Xi. The Godfather. If he designed Covid-19 as revenge on the West he isn’t saying (at least till the end of the Beijing Olympics). But he couldn’t have done better. The possibilities that this was his strategic use of germ warfare are chilling. Almost as chilling as the people protecting the West are Biden and Trudeau.

Z is for Zeneca, Astra, one of the approved firms that came up with something resembling a vaccine in nine months. These test drugs soon became the only hope for mankind. Therapeutics were verboten. Then it was discovered they had the shelf life of yogurt. So more were ordered. Profits rose faster than Elon Musk’s rocket ship. But why not? They were given blanket immunity from legal prosecution. Because Science.
