The Psychological Cruelty of Denying Natural immunity

Guest Post by Jeffrey A. Tucker

Every sick child, and probably every adult at some point, asks that existential question: why am I suffering?

No answer is satisfying. To be sick is to feel vulnerable, weak, not in control, not in the game. Life is chugging along outside of your room. You can hear laughter, cars going here and there, people out and about. But you are stuck, shivering under blankets, appetite disrupted and struggling to remember what it was like to feel healthy.

With fever, all of this is worse because the capacity for one’s brain to process information with full rationality is deprecated. High fever can induce a form of brief insanity, even involving hallucinations. You imagine things that are not true. You know that but can’t shake it off. The fever breaks and you find yourself in a pool of sweat, and your hope is that somewhere in this mess the bug has left you.

For children, it is a scary experience. For adults too, when it lasts long enough.

From the depths of the suffering, people naturally look for a source of hope. When is recovery? And what can I expect once that happens? Where is the meaning and the purpose behind the ordeal?

For a conventional respiratory virus, and for many other pathogens, generations have known that there is a silver lining to the suffering. Your immune system has undergone a training exercise. It is encoding new information. That is information your body can use to be healthier in the future. It is now prepared to fight off a similar pathogen in the future.

From the depths of suffering, this realization provides that much-needed source of hope. You can look forward to a better, healthier life on the other side. You will now confront the world with a shield. That dangerous dance with pathogens has been won for at least this particular virus. You can enjoy a stronger and healthier you in the future.

For generations, people understood this. Particularly in the 20th century, when knowledge of natural immunity became more sophisticated, along with the documentation of herd immunity, this became culturally entrenched.

Speaking from personal experience, my own parents were constantly explaining this to me when I was young. When I was sick, it became my essential source of hope. This was crucial for me, as I was an unusually sickly child. To know that I could become stronger and live more normally was a blessing.

Nothing made the point more prescient than my bout with chicken pox. To wake with itchy red spots all over me threw me into panic at the age of 6 or 7. But when I saw the smiles on my parents’ faces, I relaxed. They explained that this is a normal sickness that I absolutely needed to get as a young person. I could then get a lifetime of immunity.

It is far less dangerous to get it when you are young, they explained. Don’t scratch the sores. Just endure it and it will be over soon. I will have done my duty to myself.

That was a striking education for me. It was my introduction to the reality of natural immunity. I learned not only about this one sickness but all kinds of viruses. I learned that there is a plus side, a silver lining, to my suffering. It created the conditions that led to a better life.

Culturally, this was considered to be a modern way to think, a mental awareness that enabled generations not to give up hope but rather to look to the future with confidence.

From the beginning of the current pathogenic crisis, this piece has been missing. Covid has been treated as a pathogen to avoid at all costs – personal and social. No price was too high to pay to purchase avoidance. The worst possible fate would be to confront the virus. We must not live life normally, we were told. We must reorganize everything around slogans: slow the spread, flatten the curve, socially distance, mask up, regard everyone and everything as a carrier.

After two years, this is still the case in many parts of the country. Public health authorities have not recognized, must less explained natural immunity. Instead our source of hope has been the vaccine, which the authorities said would turn you into a dead end for the virus. That seemed like hope for many. Then it turned out not to be true. Hopes have been dashed and we were plunged right back where we were before.

Covid’s coverage of the country is so broad now that everyone knows one or many people who have had it. They share stories. Some are short bouts. Others last a week or longer. Nearly everyone shakes it off. Some people die from it, particularly the elderly and infirm. And this universal tactile experience has also given rise not so much to another round of panic – that is certainly there – but exhaustion and the great question: when will all this end?

It ends, as the authors of the Great Barrington Declaration said, with the arrival of population immunity. In this sense, it is like every pandemic that has come before. They swept through the population and those who recover have lasting immunity to the pathogen and probably others in the same family. This happens with or without a vaccine. It is this upgrade of the immune system that provides the way out.

And yet even now, millions of people have not been made aware of the payoff to confronting the virus. They have been denied hope that it ever will end. They simply do not know. The authorities have not told them. Yes, you can find out if you are curious and read competent opinion on the topic. Maybe your doctor has shared that view.

But when you have the leading voices in public health seeming to go out of their way to pretend that natural immunity does not exist, you are going to throttle that knowledge in the general population. The immunity passports do not recognize it. The people who are fired despite having demonstrated robust immunities know this all-too-well.

Of all the scandals and outrages of the last two years – the incredible failings of public officials and the silence of so many people who should have known better – the strange silence on acquired immunity is among the worst. It has a medical cost but also a huge cultural and psychological one.

This is not just an arcane matter of science. It is a main means by which the population can see the other side of the pandemic. For all the fear, suffering, and death, there is still hope on the other side, and we can know this because of our awareness of how the immune system works.

Take that away and you take away the possibility of the human mind to imagine a bright future. You promote despair. You create a permanent state of fear. You rob people of optimism. You create dependency and promote sadness.

No one can live this way. And we do not have to. If we know for sure that all this suffering was not for naught, the universe and its functioning seem a bit less chaotic and appears to make a greater degree of sense. We cannot live in a pathogen-free world but we can confront this world with intelligence, courage, and conviction that we can get to the other side and live even better than we did before. We do not need to give up freedom.

The people who denied us this knowledge, this confidence, have engaged in a cruel game with human psychology. What makes it worse is that they knew better. Fauci, Walensky, Birx, and all the rest, have the training and the knowledge. They are not unaware. Perhaps Gates’s ignorance is understandable but the rest of these people have actual medical training. They have always known the truth.

Why have they done this to us? To sell vaccines? To elicit compliance? To reduce us all to fearful subjects who are easier to control? I’m not sure we know the answers. It’s possible that natural immunity came to be seen by these technocrats as too primitive, too rudimentary, insufficiently technocratic, to be allowed as part of the conversation.

Regardless, it is a scandal and a tragedy with an enormous human cost. It will be generations before we see a full recovery.

That recovery can begin at least with awareness. You can examine all the studies and see for yourself how this goes. We are now up to 141 studies that demonstrate robust immunities after recovery, a much better form of immunity than can be induced from these vaccines. We should be happy for the studies but they should not have been necessary. We should have known based on prevailing science for these sorts of pathogens.

We currently confront a tragic morass. Cases are at an all-time high. There is a growing realization that nothing has worked. The loss of trust is palpable. More people now know that everyone will get this thing. There is no more hiding, no more success in “being careful,” no option but to get out there and take a risk with this thing. But what bolsters one’s confidence that doing so is worth it? The realization that you will be stronger as a result.

Take away the knowledge of natural immunity, and thus the realization that there can be a better life on the other side of sickness, and you leave people with existential emptiness and a lasting sense of despair. No one can live that way. No one should have to.

The corrupt powers that be seem to forget that there is still at least two older generations who are fully aware of natural herd immunity principles.
Maybe that’s why they’re trying to kill off the older people.
We can tell the younger generations that they’re being lied to.
We have the memory of what it was like to be free.

That’s true, but sadly the older people who I know are ignoring their former knowledge of herd immunity. Evidently fear has caused them to have a paradigm shift. It’s as if they are under a spell.

The SCOTUS ruled in 2013 that the citizens of the US have complete rights over and OWN their genes which in my mind means I have the right to refuse any form of gene manipulation by the criminal cartel. We are the legal guardians of our children to age 18 and as parents it is our duty to refuse under this decision any vaccine that will affect the genes of our children. It is the right of humans across the planet to remain purely human and to reject trans-humanism and loss of rights as a non-human entity. That is over and beyond the need to safeguard these children from horrific adverse effects /deadly disease caused by the vaccines.

Challenge these Nazis with all your might and save your children.

This shot is not about covid. If immunity were the goal, anyone with natural immunity would be embraced as ‘good to go’…just like with any other illness. There’s something in that shot that they want in everybody’s arm, and it’s got nothing to do with Covid or immunity.

I’ve said from the beginning that so-called “flu” shots were conditioning people for something. I knew it when I noted that first, they were free (and medicine’s never free if it’s any good), second, they didn’t stop the flu at all, and third, no ingredients listed anywhere.

I had no idea CONVID was the psychodrama TPTB had planned, but that’s only because I’m not a power-mad lunatic so I don’t think in these terms. I just knew there was some reason “flu” shots were being pushed so hard.

Sadly, they never connect the dots and realize that they get the flu anyway. Generally, the only people who I know who get flu every year are the ones who took the shot.

When my older sister got the chicken pox, mumps and measles, Mom made sure all of us were exposed so we could go through each of them together. We now have immunity 60+ years later.

MrLiberty
MrLiberty

Actually, now you have the Varicella Zoster virus likely hiding out in your body somewhere, waiting to spring forth as shingles. In the past, every generation of kids got chicken pox and every previous generation said “who cares, I’m immune because I’ve already had it,” and freely exposed themselves to the virus. That provided a “booster shot” if you will that reinforced the immunity. Ever since the chicken pox vaccine, and the rabid fear of every childhood disease, those previously exposed no longer have the ability to get their “boosters” from exposure. Now as they get much older and the immune system begins to wane, these long-hidden viruses come forth and are able to get a good shingles infection going. THAT is why shingles is so prevalent these days in older folks, while a rarity just a couple of decades ago. (Very long article by an MD researcher that detailed all of this…can’t find it right at the moment). Likely the waning protection of the vaccine will result in even larger numbers of shingles or even old-age chicken pox infections in future decades.

Couldn’t find the original article (but plenty of the usual suspects have written articles slamming the suggestion). Here’s the Children’s Defense Network’s article on the current vaccine and how it is causing shingles in young folks). https://staging.childrenshealthdefense.org/news/vaccine-safety/childhood-shingles-resulting-from-chickenpox-vaccination-rare-or-predictable/

That shot was never about preventing you from getting the virus, as the number of people that are vaxxed continue to come down with the flu. This shot is about population control and the masses are lining up to willing take it. Who the fuck still trusts this evil empire that we live under

Over my life I have gone from very trusting to a class AA skeptic. And I am not getting any younger.

My mom sure was a skeptic. She had to be in severe pain to take so much as an aspirin. If the she got a prescription from the doctor, she would often throw it away after taking a dose or two, or maybe not taking any. I remember well because she’d verbalize her whole thought process outloud while she was making the decision. It was rare for her to take a whole course of medicine. If we caught a cold, we didn’t go to the doctor for it. Lots of orange juice for vitamin C, chicken soup, and bedrest cured us. She’d take us to the dentist, we’d get X-rays and not get our teeth filled because she didn’t trust the dentist. It turned out OK, as we didn’t have a toothache anyway.

In high school, I had a dentist tell me I had 8 cavities. My parents let him fill 4 of them and I refused to go back. Did not see another dentist for 10 years and when I did, I had no cavities. I am now paying for that dentist trying to bilk the system for money and am having crowns made to replace the fillings that have caused my teeth to crack. Next one due in March with one more to go.

Vigilant

I’m sorry to hear this, dental work is torturous. The mercury fillings expand, so they crack teeth.
Dental caries can be cured, it’s the dentist who creates a cavity… in order to fill the tooth. According to the book Cure Tooth Decay, when they drill that hole that’s the beginning of the death of your tooth. Caries has to do more with your blood stream and lack of minerals than what’s on the surface of your teeth. A few years ago my x-rays showed that I needed some fillings, but I only fixed the broken tooth. I had x-rays again this summer and they said that completely different teeth needed filled. If it’s not broken or in pain, I’m not fixing it.

It was 50 years ago and I only have 2 more to go, so not a big deal. The dentist my parents used was a quack and claimed his goal was to retire by 50 and travel the world. I guess that is why he always managed to find cavities that needed filling. they continued to go to the guy even after I told them about his claiming I needed fillings and my new dentist did not find any cavities. I have a really good dentist now and I trust him to do what is right.

Why have they done this to us? To sell vaccines? To elicit compliance? To reduce us all to fearful subjects who are easier to control? I’m not sure we know the answers.

I’m sure I know the answer. GLOBAL POPULATION REDUCTION AND TOTAL CONTROL.

How do I know that? THEY told us.

“First we’ve got population. Now, the world today has 6.8 billion people. That’s headed up to about nine billion. Now, if we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care, reproductive health services, we could lower that (forecast) by, perhaps, 10 or 15 percent, but there we see an increase of about 1.3 (per year).” —Bill Gates

“A total population of 250-300 million people, a 95% decline from present levels, would be ideal.” —Ted Turner

There is a single theme behind all our work-we must reduce population levels. Either governments do it our way, through nice clean methods, or they will get the kinds of mess that we have in El Salvador, or in Iran or in Beirut. Population is a political problem. Once population is out of control, it requires authoritarian government, even fascism, to reduce it….’ ‘Our program in El Salvador didn’t work. The infrastructure was not there to support it. There were just too goddamned many people…. To really reduce population, quickly, you have to pull all the males into the fighting and you have to kill significant numbers of fertile age females….’ The quickest way to reduce population is through famine, like in Africa, or through disease like the Black Death….’
Thomas Ferguson, State Department Office of Population Affairs

‘In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill…. But in designating them as the enemy, we fall into the trap of mistaking symptoms for causes. All these dangers are caused by human intervention and it is only through changed attitudes and behavior that they can be overcome. The real enemy, then, is humanity itself’.
Alexander King, Bertrand Schneider – Founder and Secretary, respectively, The Club of Rome, The First Global Revolution, pgs 104-105,1991

‘A cancer is an uncontrolled multiplication of cells; the population explosion is an uncontrolled multiplication of people…. We must shift our efforts from the treatment of the symptoms to the cutting out of the cancer. The operation will demand many apparently brutal and heartless decisions’.
Stanford Professor, Paul Ehrlich in The Population Bomb

‘In order to stabilize world population, we must eliminate 350,000 people per day. It is a horrible thing to say, but it is just as bad not to say it’.
J. Cousteau,1991 explorer and UNESCO courier

‘I believe that human overpopulation is the fundamental problem on Earth Today’ and, ‘We humans have become a disease, the Humanpox’.
Dave Foreman, Sierra Club and co founder of Earth First!

‘We must speak more clearly about sexuality, contraception, about abortion, about values that control population, because the ecological crisis, in short, is the population crisis. Cut the population by 90% and there aren’t enough people left to do a great deal of ecological damage.’
Mikhail Gorbachev

‘Today, America would be outraged if U.N. troops entered Los Angeles to restore order. Tomorrow they will be grateful! This is especially true if they were told that there were an outside threat from beyond, whether real or promulgated, that threatened our very existence. It is then that all peoples of the world will plead to deliver them from this evil. The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well-being granted to them by the World Government’.
Dr. Henry Kissinger, Bilderberger Conference, Evians, France,1991

‘The illegal we do immediately. The unconstitutional takes a little longer’.
Dr. Henry Kissinger New York Times, Oct.28,1973

‘Depopulation should be the highest priority of foreign policy towards the third world, because the US economy will require large and increasing amounts of minerals from abroad, especially from less developed countries’.
Dr. Henry Kissinger

‘Power is the ultimate aphrodisiac, ‘ and ‘The elderly are useless eaters’.
Dr. Henry Kissinger

‘World population needs to be decreased by 50%’.
Dr. Henry Kissinger

‘We are on the verge of a global transformation. All we need is the right major crisis and the nations will accept the New World Order’.
David Rockefeller

‘War and famine would not do. Instead, disease offered the most efficient and fastest way to kill the billions that must soon die if the population crisis is to be solved. AIDS is not an efficient killer because it is too slow. My favorite candidate for eliminating 90 percent of the world’s population is airborne Ebola (Ebola Reston) , because it is both highly lethal and it kills in days, instead of years. ‘We’ve got airborne diseases with 90 percent mortality in humans. Killing humans. Think about that. ‘You know, the bird flu’s good, too. For everyone who survives, he will have to bury nine’.
Dr. Eric Pianka University of Texas evolutionary ecologist and lizard expert, showed solutions for reducing the world’s population to an audience on population control

‘No one will enter the New World Order unless he or she will make a pledge to worship Lucifer. No one will enter the New Age unless he will take a Luciferian Initiation’.
David Spangler, Director of Planetary Initiative, United Nations

‘The present vast overpopulation, now far beyond the world carrying capacity, cannot be answered by future reductions in the birth rate due to contraception, sterilization and abortion, but must be met in the present by the reduction of numbers presently existing. This must be done by whatever means necessary’.

‘In South America, the government of Peru goes door to door pressuring women to be sterilized and they are funded by American tax dollars to do this’.
Mark Earley in The Wrong Kind of Party Christian Post 10/27 2008

Women in the Netherlands who are deemed by the state to be unfit mothers should be sentenced to take contraception for a prescribed period of two years’.

‘If I were reincarnated I would wish to be returned to earth as a killer virus to lower human population levels’.

Childbearing should be a punishable crime against society, unless the parents hold a government license. All potential parents should be required to use contraceptive chemicals, the government issuing antidotes to citizens chosen for childbearing’.

‘Frankly I had thought that at the time Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don’t want to have too many of’.

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg

‘The Planetary Regime might be given responsibility for determining the optimum population for the world and for each region and for arbitrating various countries’ shares within their regional limits. Control of population size might remain the responsibility of each government, but the Regime would have some power to enforce the agreed limits.’

Once again, the assumption is that COVID is some new virus we must find some immunity for, when it is NOTHING but the flu rebranded.

When people quit trying to analyze the misinformation around the lie, and focus on the liars themselves and the truth that COVID is not a new virus, nor is it deadly, then maybe we can move on past it without the hundreds of millions of fools that will be dying in the next 24 months…

Wonderful discourse, thank you. As a child I had all the usual ills. With measles I had delirium – quite frightening for a 6 year old. Two weeks in bed – sweat it out with a loving mother, plenty of lemon drinks, malt extract, Bovril drinks, orange juice (provided by the state), milk (free at school) and jigsaws. I learned to embroider and knit among other things.

They were the days, just after the war, when our authorities were sane and kind and caring. What went wrong? How did we end up this way? We have lost so much – commonsense, honesty, freedom and freedom of speech – I won’t go on – you all know.
