A Call to Reason

An alternative view to the popular Covid narrative.

This was originally posted on my Facebook page, but was censored and removed.

While I risk being burned at the stake, I would like to present a different side of the Covid debate here, which I know many have their suspicions, or silently agree. 

I do not want my children to grow up in a world without smiles. If we keep listening to every irrational government whim, thinking following the rules will get us out of things, when this whole year has showed us that the more we comply, the longer it lasts, we are deluded. We will never get out of it. 

I would like to present a few points of focus:

1. Mask mandates are extremely inefficient and dehumanize us. The biggest random control study, in Denmark, called Danmask, collected data from thousands of people over months, and found that they did not reduce risk of contracting Corona. 

2. In fact, masks are bad for us. They have been linked to many health issues, especially in children, one of which is deforming their precious faces! The cartilage in their ears is not enough to withstand the pressure of the elastic bands. And subjecting them to mask wearing all day is wrong and dehumanizing. They need to see faces and expressions to develop properly. Masks are making them sick, psychologically and physically. 

3. Children are not responsible for the ‘spread’. They do not have the necessary Ace2 receptors to engage with this virus. They are largely protected from it, and schools need to stop the social distancing/masks/other insanities and let them be kids. We need to stop blaming them for “killing grandma”. We are traumatizing a whole generation. It is extremely unethical and evil.

4. Lockdowns are immoral. I don’t know about you, but so many families have lost their jobs, livelihoods, hope, homes. There is an increase in deaths of despair, and this is not the way to solve a problem. We cannot strip people of their dignity and right to make a living in order to feel safe. That is the ultimate act of selfishness. And they are clearly not working, if the cases keep going up. 

5. We could be focusing on protecting the elderly and vulnerable with comorbidities, instead of isolating them, locking them up together, and forcing them to spend the rest of their lives alone. They have rights too. Also, if we really wanted to reduce their risks of contracting a virus, we would be socializing and creating a herd immunity among the robust and healthy, which actually would protect them. 

6. It is up to a responsible individual to discern the omissions of truth, explore the conflicts of interest, and hyperbole presented to you by media and government. Media loves you staying home with your eyes on them; their ratings go up, so do their pay scales. Governments love having you rely on them, it gives them more power to dictate what you do in your life, and the longer the ‘state of emergency’ lasts, the more they can get away with passing bills and ‘investing’ in projects that benefit them directly. 

7. The health units and bureaucrats have way too much unchecked power. They are unelected officials, sitting on lofty salaries, who are dictating down to every last measure of our social and civil lives. They are not being held accountable for the extreme hysteria and damage they are causing, and they should be. 

8. According to the Siracusa principles, any government mandates proposed under a state of emergency that impose on your regular rights must be justified, of shortest possible duration, and proportional to the situation at hand. Ask yourselves if the current handling of the situation meets those criteria. 

9. If we really want to help people, we need to begin by helping ourselves, our families, and our children. We need to put them first, and stop sacrificing them and their futures for our fears. We need to take a look around us and see if this is the society we want for them, because the more we allow it to go on, the more out of control it will get.

10. We have the power to change things. If you would like to arm yourself with facts, I have a whole library, and so can you. We can write to our elected officials, local government, and health unit. Give them a call, let them know what you really think. That is how a democracy functions; politicians gage what the public wants. If you say nothing, they assume you are happy. Government want to ‘do something’ and look like heroes. Their ‘doing something’ has caused enough suffering, even death! - and the virus is still here to stay. And guess what? It’s not the plague. It’s a seasonal respiratory virus. Let’s get back to living.
