The genesis of a pandemic.

The #Corona crisis began with a panopticon of absurd events, improbable coincidences and outright lies.

Time for a review of the impossibilities.

A thread 🧵

 1/ At the end of December 2019, Wenliang, an eye doctor from Wuhan, noticed an allegedly unusual incidence of pneumonia. It remains a mystery what is unusual about 44 patients in a city with over 8 million citizens during winter.

https://t.co/NpbtCemA5x
2/ On Jan. 5, WHO informs for the first time about a pneumonia of unknown cause, which it can clarify by 7 January. The virus is believed to be a close relative of SARS. A fish market allegedly is the origin. The #Zoonosis legend, unproven until today, is born.
3/ On Jan. 10, the first gene sequence of the virus today called #SARS-CoV2 appears at https://t.co/tqxKgyykBr, and on Jan. 12, 4 more sequences are published by @edwardcholmes in the GISAID (Global Initiative on Sharing All Influenza Data) database.

https://t.co/H8Y2NzPiIG
4/ As early as January 13, just a single day later, WHO accepts Mr. #Drosten|s PCR testing protocol as gold standard.

https://t.co/8UhmbpWpH1
5/ On January 21, Corman, Drosten, Koopmanns, Landt and others submit the now highly controversial #PCR test protocol (https://t.co/nZdeJI9OvF) for detection of the new #coronavirus to Eurosurveillance.

https://t.co/kD6lc5zpVa
6/ Eurosurveillance, a journal whose editors coincidentally includes Mr. Drosten, takes only a single day for the peer review process and publishes the hastily compiled PCR protocol on January 22.

https://t.co/cWX3UdKeID
7/ Unprecedented: Within a maximum of three days (January 10 - 13), Mr. Drosten, together with the owner of TIB Molbiol (a Berlin based manufacturer for #PCR tests), develops the perfect test for a supposedly entirely new virus the world hasn't seen yet! Wow.
8/ Impossible: As early as January 10, 3 days before, Landt's company, TIB-Molbiol, had a fully functional test kit ready and began shipping it all over the world. A hell of a guy, that Mr. Landt!

https://t.co/1fG2hdmClM
9/ On Jan. 24, Chinese scientists, including a certain George Gao (director of CCDC), published an article at the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) describing the clinical symptoms of pneumonia caused by corona.

https://t.co/U5Uv6fGYKk
10/ Preposterous nonsense. After all, there is no clinically specific manifestation of Covid19 disease that is in any way distinguishable from influenza. But it will be the basis for countless horror stories spread by the media.

https://t.co/5WeWdp2ys2
11/ Is it coincidence that exactly the same Mr. Gao, author of more heavyweight #Corona studies, becomes a member of the German Leopoldina in June 2020?

Maybe we should read the «recommendations» of the Leopoldina again.

https://t.co/BRgh9NjSQ3
12/ At the same time as the publication, Wuhan begins building two emergency clinics that will be up and running in a whopping 7 days. The media are enthusiastic.

However, hardly noticed, the first one is shut down just one month later.

https://t.co/giHx63u9bR
13/ Meanwhile, social media are flooded with movie-like footage. Images of ruthless disease control measures are being circulated around the globe. Pure fear is racing like wildfire through the editorial offices of all media outlets, major and minor.

https://t.co/tGiqaajmX3
14/ On January 27, the first Corona case is confirmed at Webasto (an automotive supplier) near Munich. This is the origin of all measures to come, because later the legend of asymptomatic transmission will be based on this case.

https://t.co/RIoAkvUUuS
15/ A mere 3 days later, Drosten, together with physicians from a clinic in Munich, published a brief report to the prestigious NEJM, which can be considered the scientific foundation of this legend.

https://t.co/nkawAnfXlK
16/ Needless to say, it later turns out that the index patient, a business woman from China, was ill indeed and prepared herself for the working day with mundane paracetamol. But the story is now out in the world.

https://t.co/GAkaYJkzv7
17/ It only took 30 days for:
• the staging of a health crisis,
• a rushed PCR protocol,
• the production of suitable test kits at almost magical speed and
• the postulation of exceptional virological and clinical attributes.
18/ R. E. Hope-Simpson, a British physician, studied influenza for almost 50 years. His work culminated in the book "The Transmission of Influenza" published in 1992, without being able to present conclusive findings.
What he couldn't do in 50 years, was now possible in 30 days?
19/ What happened in the following months can only be regarded as the complete abandonment of honest science, responsible politics and critical journalism. The total collapse of our civilizational foundation.
20/ On Feb. 7, the 34-year-old eye doctor Wenliang allegedly dies from the consequences of #Covid19 himself. A disease, which in Germany, after one year and over 2 million test positives, has claimed 136 people among the under 40 year old.

https://t.co/WSCPwVaA1i
21/ On February 13, Drosten publicly warns: «We must prepare for a pandemic».

https://t.co/UyeXEmoC04
22/ On Feb. 26, the NDR (German public radio) podcast appears, a boulevard talk show disguised as science talk, which allows Mr. Drosten to stage science over the course of now 76 episodes (recently alternating with Sandra Ciesek as guest).
https://t.co/XaZVnGrJ8e
23/ On March 16, the British physicist Neil Ferguson published a work of epochal proportions. The prognosis: millions of dead. A key work of such shrill propaganda that it makes any political party convention look like a reputable event.

https://t.co/RdqkmAcPJS
24/ Around the same time - probably even earlier - the BMI (German Ministry of the Interior) hired «scientists» to create horror scenarios that would allow «measures of a preventive and repressive nature». An unbiased investigation was never intended.

https://t.co/4i2C1mRsK3
25/ The minions delivered. On March 20, the DGEpi publishes a statement that is every bit as good as Ferguson's insane paper, except in length. Six thin pages are enough for the "forecast" of sheer horror.

https://t.co/xdnsbEI1Ds
26/ The result is a document that is unparalleled in the history of the postwar Germany, characterized by such inhumane sentiments that it can only be perceived with disgust. In amazement, one wonders about the governments conception of democracy.

https://t.co/jrlhaGZTl4
27/ However, the amazement quickly subsides once learning that the authors of the pamphlet are the German studies PhD student @ottokolbl, fervent Maoist and China lover, and the China lobbyist @mayer_iras. A scandal of epic proportions.

https://t.co/asjyObh9Pd
28/ What followed was nothing but a hyperventilating fall into the abyss.

Once knowing about the beginnings, the remainder is actually only maculature. Measures, incidences, mutants or vaccines are topics we would never discuss without these lies. Never!
29/ Prosecutors and historians should deal with the motives. But the aftermath, the immeasurable collateral damage, must now be addressed by civil society. Herculean tasks lie ahead.
30/ Countless livelihoods have already been destroyed, children robbed of their childhood innocence and education. People have died alone. A totalitarian hygiene regime is breaking ground that could change the world forever and undo centuries of enlightenment.

SCB has dropped its final 2020 stats on deaths for Sweden. This chart is a breakdown by age for both sexes compared to 2018.

Most notably, there's no excess among children and people of working age, confirming the preliminary stats for males I had published earlier.


Here's the same data, but with spline interpolation applied to the 5-yr age groups. This just smooths out some of the random and cohort-related fluctuations. The picture is the same.


Unfortunately, the fact deaths are exclusively concentrated in the elderly age rage means that all of the deaths you see reported are pretty much all theirs. Fortunately, since they're generally retired, they don't need to sacrifice their livelihoods to protect themselves.

We need evidence-based mitigation strategies. Terrorizing a 15yo with imminent death is neither helpful nor honest. Closing schools isn't helpful (and Sweden hasn't). Be aware around your (grand)parents. Take care of them, make sure they understand the risks.

With the resources we have spent/lost on locking down people below 75 years old, I'm sure we could have devised a far superior targeted approach for those who need it and request it. We don't need to demolish our society, economy, and the lives of future generations to save lives

1/: The inventor of the corona PCR-Test @c_drosten is one of the #protagonists of the current crisis. He is known for involving himself in contradictions. In 2014, he gave a legendary #interview to @wiwo (https://t.co/jzTRh5Suhc) that I will address in this ⬇️short thread⬇️.


2/: The interview is significant because @c_drosten made totally sane statements back then that follow the principle of common sense. Considering his involvement in the "genesis of the current pandemic", his assertions appear in an entirely different


3/: In 2014, for instance, washing the hands was sufficient against being infected by coronaviruses. Several years he demands measures that destroy national economies and social life worldwide.


4/: Young @c_drosten also severely criticized the fact that Saudi Arabia used the PCR method to detect potential infections. From his point of view, that specific method could lead to many irrelevant cases. Nowadays, his view shifted his opinion towards 'collective punishment'.


5/: Whereas he demands "testing, testing, testing" nowadays and spreads panic and fear via (social) media, he heavily condemned that behaviour of Saudi media in 2014. On top of that, he expressed his concern that medial panic could increase the number of lab tests significantly.

1/n Presenting Part One of my second trilogy (following the 2020 Lockdown Trilogy) in my Cartoon series:

“The War of the Worlds & Age of Extinction Cometh – The Transformers of MolBiol”

A comprehensive guide of the imagery found in this canvas is contained in this thread:


2/n Starting at the upper RH part of the image and moving from right to left, one first sees the “Three Witches of Molbiol” riding on a Trojan Horse. The three witches (ref: Macbeth) are depicted as enablers of the crisis via their mischief = misuse of molecular biology.


3/n Let us start with the arguably fake Prof. Drosten who heads the Charité Institute in Berlin. Drosten led work to develop a first PCR test protocol for SARS-CoV-2 published by @Eurosurveillanc in record time and promoted by WHO as a ‘gold standard’.


4/n Had Drosten done his work honestly and produced a test capable of detecting the SARS-CoV-2 entity, all might be well today, but he did not. His manifest scientific failings and problems with conflicts of interest are fully documented in here:

5/n Of course Drosten could not have carried off this piece of MolBiol sleight of hand all on his own. He needed accomplices & global support. A key European ‘witch’ was Dutch based @MarionKoopmans , a co-author of the Corman-Drosten scientific paper.

1/ Thread – LOCKDOWNS – WHAT WE'VE DONE

My work is sometimes criticized for not discussing the merits of lockdown—perhaps even exculpating western leaders by blaming the CCP. Others know better. This thread is for the victims of lockdown, the greatest crime of the 21st century.


2/ Over 60% of business closures from lockdown are now permanent—over 97,000 businesses lost in the U.S. That “leaders” across the world transformed into tyrants, believing they had a right to bankrupt their subjects, is the core evil of

3/ Nearly half of black-owned small businesses have been wiped

4/ Unemployment in the U.S. reached as high as 14.7% and highways have jammed with thousands of vehicles awaiting their turn at food

5/ Nearly 5% of the population of the U.K. went hungry during the first three weeks of lockdown.

PROBIOTICS & VIT D: "The vitamin D receptor is highly expressed in the gastrointestinal tract where it transacts gene expression..These results support the underlying hypothesis that the human gut microbiome and vitamin D metabolism are integrally related"
https://t.co/15rVFa1fkk


"Men with higher levels of 1,25(OH)2D and higher activation ratios, but not 25(OH)D itself, are more likely to possess butyrate producing bacteria that are associated with better gut microbial health."

"Several studies suggest that gut microbiota alter intestinal vitamin D metabolism (VDM), and probiotic supplements can affect circulating vitamin D levels."

"Because the serum 25(OH)D correlates with overall vitamin D storage, it is the preferred clinical measure to assess vitamin D sufficiency."

"Clinically, serum 25(OH)D levels ≥20 ng/ml are considered adequate while 25(OH)D levels <20 ng/ml are defined as vitamin D deficiency."

THE BATTLE OF TALIKOTA and the destruction of Vijaynagar (Hampi)
26 January 1565

A tale of valor, deception and decimation.

A grim reminder that if we fail to protect our heritage, it will eventually crumble under the onslaught of "forces of anarchy".
(Elaborate thread)


This decisive battle was fought between the Vijayanagara empire and the Deccan sultanates resulting in a rout of Vijayanagara and ending the last major medieval era Hindu kingdom in south India.(1)

The seeds of 1565 encounter were sown more than 250 years earlier when the forces of the Delhi Sultanate, during the time of Alauddin Khilji and later Md Bin Tughlaq swept through southern India in an expansion spree.(2)

By middle of the 14th century, facing rebellions, Tughlaq withdrew to Delhi, leaving behind 2 empires, Bahmani, which ruled the Deccan from Kalaburagi, and Vijayanagara, which ruled most south India with its capital at Vijayanagar.(3)

The Raichur Doab, between the Krishna and Tungabhadra rivers, existed as a natural boundary between these two kingdoms, with wars often breaking out over control of this territory.(4)

Did you know?

When Saudi Arabia's King visited India in 1955, PM Nehru ordered all the Hindu Temples and Idols of Hindu Deities that came in Saudi King's way to be covered up.
Our temples are the architectural marvels in their own league.


Each of our temples tells the story of our rich history and cultural heritage. Was Nehru that ashamed of his own nation's heritage that he had to cover them up or there was some other reason? The answer would be best known to him only.

PM Nehru invited the then Saudi King Saud bin Abdul Aziz to India who accepted the invitation and planned a 17 day long official visit to India in 1955. Saudi King had brought a large delegation with him and he had to visit various Indian cities like Mumbai, Hyderabad, Agra,


Aligarh, Shimla, Mysore and Varanasi. However, when Saudi King reached Varanasi, Nehru ordered to cover all the temples and Idols with curtains that came in the way of the Royal Convoy. During his stay in Varanasi, Govt buildings were painted with the words "Kalma Tayyiba".


'Kalma Tayyiba' means 'There is not God but only Allah and Mohammed is his messenger'. In addition to it, Pooja and Aartis were also stopped at temples. I can call it the appeasement politics of the highest order and Nehru was indeed the greatest appeaser of all times.

WHEN GH0RI TOOK TO HIS HEELS WHILST FIGHTING A HINDU QUEEN

THE BATTLE OF KASAHRADA (Kayadara)
1178 AD

Strategy! Bravado! Glory!

(Thread)


The narrative set by left historians about one of their favorite poster boys "Gh0ri" is that he went unchallenged upon entering the Indian subcontinent with one king falling after another.(1)

They conveniently deleted this event. Why? An agenda aimed at making us feel weak and inferior against the invaders in an attempt to glorify them. Simple strategy: To destroy a civilization tamper their history.(2)

Gh0ri defeated Prithviraj Chauhan at the 2nd Battle of Tarain in 1192 and laid the foundation of Delhi Sultanate. What is not well known is the fact that 14 years before he won this battle, he was defeated by the queen of Gujarat "Naiki Devi"!(3)

In 1173 Md Gh0ri had conquered the Ghaznavids in Afghanistan. A ruthless, persistent and deceptive Gh0ri was successful in conducting massive raids deep inside Indian territory.(4)

Some quick thoughts on Sam Gyimah's resignation after conversations with various Conservative MPs: 1) the chances of a second referendum are a lot higher than I thought:

2) At this point, if you are a young and ambitious Tory MP it is now so overwhelmingly in your interest to vote against the withdrawal agreement. V v hard to see how Julian Smith can cap rebellion at under 100:

3) Really just to reiterate 1) Gyimah is the kind of "No, never gonna rebel" vaguely pro-EU Tory you'd need to get on side to outweigh Labour Leavers and Real Concerners.

Recently, the @CNIL issued a decision regarding the GDPR compliance of an unknown French adtech company named "Vectaury". It may seem like small fry, but the decision has potential wide-ranging impacts for Google, the IAB framework, and today's adtech. It's thread time! 👇

It's all in French, but if you're up for it you can read:
• Their blog post (lacks the most interesting details): https://t.co/PHkDcOT1hy
• Their high-level legal decision: https://t.co/hwpiEvjodt
• The full notification: https://t.co/QQB7rfynha

I've read it so you needn't!

Vectaury was collecting geolocation data in order to create profiles (eg. people who often go to this or that type of shop) so as to power ad targeting. They operate through embedded SDKs and ad bidding, making them invisible to users.

The @CNIL notes that profiling based off of geolocation presents particular risks since it reveals people's movements and habits. As risky, the processing requires consent — this will be the heart of their assessment.

Interesting point: they justify the decision in part because of how many people COULD be targeted in this way (rather than how many have — though they note that too). Because it's on a phone, and many have phones, it is considered large-scale processing no matter what.
