How does anyone take these people seriously?

Guest Post by Simon Black

Last week, just before the canceled New Year’s holiday, the US federal government released updated dietary guidelines for the next five years.

You know what I’m talking about– these are the government guidelines that recommend we consume a certain amount of Calories, fats, protein, carbs, etc. every day.

I don’t know that anyone actually pays attention to this stuff; taking diet advice from the federal government is about as sensible as seeking moral direction from Congress.

But nevertheless the government still makes a big deal about its dietary standards.

In fact the Department of Health and Human Services convened an ‘expert committee’ of PhD researchers, physicians, nutritionists, and public health officials to come up with the new recommendations.

Here’s where it gets interesting: in its final report to the Department of Health and Human Services, the committee strongly recommended that Americans should reduce their sugar and alcohol intake.

This seems hardly controversial.

Yet the Department of Health and Human Services rejected this recommendation, stating that “there was not a preponderance of evidence in the Committee’s review . . . to substantiate changes to the quantitative limits for either added sugars or alcohol.”

Really? Not enough evidence?

There have been countless studies spanning decades of research showing the harmful effects that excess sugar has on the human body, especially in children. Parents know this from personal experience.

Not to mention there has literally never been a single, credible study which concluded that children should consume more refined sugar.

And yet despite decades of hard evidence, the Department of Health and Human Services still can’t reach the same conclusion. For them, the jury’s still out on whether sugar is harmful.

How is anyone supposed to take these people seriously?

Coincidentally, this is the same department of government that has been telling us the COVID vaccines are completely safe.

So… they can’t figure out if sugar is bad. But they’re 100% positive that the vaccines are safe and everyone should take one.

This is just a tiny example of the truly nonsensical, oxymoronic thinking about Covid-1984. There are so many more.

Here’s another one: the Department of Health and Human Services is also responsible for tracking influenza statistics during the flu season.

For example, during last year’s flu season which began in October 2019, they reported up to 56 MILLION cases of influenza.

Remember, this was the 2019 flu season… so before the Covid hysteria.

How many influenza cases do you think have been reported so far this flu season? 10 million? 1 million? 100,000?

According to the most recent CDC data, the total number of influenza cases reported in the Land of the Free this flu season through December 27, 2020 is a big fat 877.

Not 877,000. Just 877, i.e. fewer than 1,000 people in the US have had the flu.

Seriously? Are we honestly supposed to believe that our infallible public health officials have miraculously eradicated influenza?

Or is it possible that, maybe just maybe, influenza cases are being counted as COVID-1984 ?

We already know the Covid numbers have enjoyed quite a bit of fuzzy arithmetic. Covid reporting standards in many municipalities, states, and countries require that anyone who tests positive for COVID and passes away is automatically counted as a COVID-related death.

Motorcycle accidents, heart attacks, even cancer… they’re being counted as COVID deaths.

Just a few weeks ago there was a murder-suicide in Grand County, Colorado in which the police report listed cause of death as “blunt force injuries due to a gunshot wound”.

But Colorado public health officials listed both of the deceased as COVID deaths.

Even the CDC acknowledges that 94% of all reported COVID deaths were related to some other condition besides, or in addition to, COVID-1984. So only 6% of reported deaths were pure COVID.

The CDC also stated that, “on average, there were 2.6 additional conditions or causes” for every single COVID death reported in the Land of the Free, including (as we now know) murder, suicide, heart attack, and traffic accident.

It’s remarkable that, if someone tests positive for COVID and dies for any reason, the cause of death will often be reported as COVID.

Yet if someone takes a COVID vaccine and dies, the cause of death will never be listed as the vaccine. The vaccines will kill zero people. Listen to the scientists. Obey.

It’s also remarkable that they seem to be making up the vaccine procedures on the fly.

Bear in mind that the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine requires two doses, three weeks apart. So you’re supposed to take the first dose, and then, 3 weeks later, a second dose.

And Pfizer (presumably the ‘expert’ about its own vaccine) has flat out said there is zero data to suggest that a single dose would be effective after 3 weeks.

But in the UK, public health officials have suddenly deemed in their sole discretion that the vaccine will continue to be safe beyond 3 weeks. They have conducted zero studies, and no research exists on the matter.

Yet they are now insisting that a single dose will keep people ‘70% protected’ despite the manufacturer’s objections.

And on this basis they decided to delay the second dose until week 12, if not later. (We assume they’re going to mix the first injection with a strong dose of Hopium…)

This sudden change is pretty amazing because, even just before Christmas, they were telling everyone how important it was to have the second injection after precisely 21 days.

Now they’ve completely reversed this and are telling people that 12 weeks is just fine, even though this contradicts what they just said, and what the manufacturer requires.

(And now the US government has said it will consider the same thing.)

They’re clearly just making it up as they go along. But hey– listen to the scientists. Obey.

It’s not just the government either. The private sector is totally on board with this oxymornic thinking.

A few days ago I boarded an American Airlines flight while traveling from Chile to Puerto Rico; as part of the check-in procedure, I had to swear to the airline that I had not tested positive for Covid, nor had I been in contact with anyone who had tested positive.

Yet it’s perfectly fine to board a commercial fight if you have Tuberculosis.

Or Ebola for that matter. Or influenza (not that it exists anymore). Or any other infectious disease… as long as it’s not COVID!

Science and the state are the new religion. I’m sorry to say there are a whole lot of stupid motherfuckers that will believe anything as long as it does not hurt their feelings. Anyone else notice how many people substitute the word feel for think?

I wish I could say it is not so bad in academic science. But there is an awful amount of cognitive dissonance, dogma, and hand waving.

A relative died from cancer and its complications over the two years of fighting it. But they listed the cause of death as covid-19. They get more money that way.
They found the antibodies in him which truly only showed that he had the virus at some point in the past – whether he knew it or not.
-The data is all corrupt.
-Mask do no good according to many doctors and their view is never heard in the MSM.
-This Flu is not as bad as many in the past where we did not hurt our Republic losing rights, hurting our economy and lives, and charging everything to future generations handing them even more dream crippling debt.
-This plandemic response has been a globalist Leftist dream come true.
We must end this ruse.

It will not end until the people stand up and say stop and back that up with the force of arms.

Grandfather passed away this year due to heart attack and old age. He happened to have Covid and his heart got him first. They listed it as a Covid death to get their 50k.

Proteins and fats. Fuck carbs and fuck guidelines from the government. The only expert advice the government can give is on how to pick their teeth with chicom dick.

Since I went back to animal fats and proteins and greens my bmi has dropped from 27 to 13 in less than 3 months. Couple that with rigid body weight lifting, swimming and full kit drills I dropped 27lbs in 60 days, eliminated my heart issues from stress and being a fat body. The human body needs to work physically and the mind functions infinitely better when the body is fit.

The only purpose our government has now is to make voters hopelessly ignorant, fat, lazy and disease riddled by diet and fear.

Queue Pennywise and the Judgement Night soundtrack. Get your bodies and minds right folks.

As I and others have said, dying from something and dying with something are two completely different deaths.

No, see, it’s all science. If you reverse the number 21 (days) you get 12 (weeks). It’s all perfectly rational. We know the virus is so smart that it won’t infect someone sitting next to you on an airplane if your mask is down but you’re eating or drinking. If you’re not doing those two things, however, the virus is on the prowl. It also doesn’t infect between 5 AM and 10 PM. After curfew, however, don’t go outside or you’ll most certainly die. This is all settled science. Really.
