Bill Gates: You chose your role in the marketing of the virus panic. You are the billionaire so smart that, for every human being on the planet, you have determined we have “no choice.” Our lives cannot return to normal until you, or, another party have “largely vaccinated the entire, global population.” 

Wrong, Bill. We do have a choice: We can consult history, compare the actual data to your fear-words and pretense that the globe has never seen anything like this virus, and we can ask ourselves whether it’s the coronavirus or the panic you and your media partners push that has caused many people to accept the push from the WHO, the CDC, The Clinton Foundation, Jay Inslee, Gavin Newsom and Andrew Cuomo, to name a few, that we become a super surveillance state with a centrally commanded, hobbled economy, dictatorial rules and watchers making sure we wear our masks and stay off the beaches.

Those of us who sense in the fear-mongering around the virus the highly-concentrated panic pushing the same people and entities merchandised around global: Ice age, warming, climate change, climate emergency, and can ask ourselves if we are willing to become hovel-living crawl-abouts begging for the permission to earn because of a virus that, in the United States this year, has killed half as many people as pneumonia.

We can start, Bill, by questioning you and the people surrounding you. 

The great irony in all of this, Bill, is the technology you helped make a globally available tool, still — despite the efforts Silicon Valley and the media have undertaken to hide it, just as your designed when you rehearsed “controlling ‘misinformation’” during your pandemic drills — is the technology that allows us to see for ourselves just how much hyperbole you are pushing.

We can watch you selling panic, we can stand as witness to you contending that it’s somehow unique that people can carry a virus that may infect others — a fact of human existence, Bill — and we can pay close attention as all of your precious “models” are exposed as failures, like the failure of Common Core Math, the previous program you funded to experiment on society. 

This morning, on my radio show, informed by data the mainstream media refuses to examine, and common sense, I addressed you directly about this, Bill, because I do have a choice and I will not be directed by you, the WHO, the CDC or any of the panic-pushers into swallowing your vision for my future. 

Below is just some of the data, analysis and news I consulted for the show. 

Fear-mongering: “Stay the blank home or the virus will go exponential!” 

Nobel Prize Awardee and Professor at the Stanford School of Medicine: Lockdowns do not alter the growth rate of the virus and no country has experienced exponential growth of COVID-19, and says that the lockdowns were a radical overreaction and likely unnecessary, that the development of herd immunity is the better option. Hat tip: The Blaze.

Fear-mongering: “Stay the blank home, idiots, herd immunity can’t happen until there’s a vaccine!”

Three, very larges, statistically robust studies of prisoners who tested positive for COVID-19, show 95% -98% were asymptomatic, meaning, they got sick, didn’t know it, and helped develop herd immunity. 

Sweden could reach ‘herd immunity’ in weeks, Chief Epidemiologist says.

Fear-mongering: “The models are clear, if we don’t lock down we will see explosions of the virus.”

The IHME model produced by the University of Washington has utterly failed to correctly predict deaths in South Dakota, which did not lockdown … maybe because the model does not adjust for no lockdowns and, in fact, makes no predictions whatsoever about what might happen should social distancing be eased or not enforced.

Fear-mongering: “We cannot open the schools, we cannot risk the lives of children, the model is very clear on this.”

Also from Stanford, a former chief of neuroradiology at Stanford University Medical Center has completely dismissed the Bill Gates-funded model from the University of Washington’s Institute of Health Metrics and Evaluation, (IHME), and has called for the immediate reopening of schools.  Hat tip: Legal Insurrection. 

Fear-mongering: “This is for your own good: Stay off the beaches or face arrest!”

Queen Elizabeth Hospital Foundation Trust and the University of East Anglia researchers in the UK found links between low levels of vitamin D and COVID-19 mortality rates, according to Science Alert. Vitamin D, of course, is easily obtained by standing in the sun. 

Fear-mongering: “You need to stay the blank home, just like the rest of us, going out is a betrayal of first-responders!”

Prof Neil Ferguson, the epidemiologist whose modeling helped shape Britain’s coronavirus lockdown strategy, has quit as a government adviser after flouting the rules by receiving visits from his lover at his home.

Fear-mongering: “Stay the blank home, you will flood the hospitals!”

Cash-strapped rural hospitals face ‘imminent closure’ as coronavirus bears down

Stanford Health Care to cut workers’ wages by 20%; hospital claims cuts are necessary due to COVID-19 economic impact.

Fear-mongering: “Stay the blank home, people in Michigan are causing traffic jams at coronavirus testing locations!”
