Outstanding article. Remedying the damage done to us by this fraud requires talents like you who can relate the medical ethics issues to the people with the soft and simple touch of a child psychiatrist.

I don’t know anything about psychology, but the trauma of realizing the truth will be off the charts.

As absurd as it may sound, COVID-19 was a fraud on the public.

Consider the two pillars of the COVID-19 pandemic: 1) Lethality, 2) Asymptomatic spread.

* Fauci lied to congress about SarsCOV2 being 10x more lethal than seasonal influenza.

* Fauci lied about having evidence of asymptomatic spread based on a "report from Germany." That 'report' was based on rumors about one (1) allegedly asymptomatic woman from China spreading the virus to 16 contacts in Germany. I say “rumors,” because … "the researchers didn't actually speak to the woman before they published the paper."

Hanlon’s razor states that one should “never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.” Cut Hanlon's razor. Think back on everything they told us while presuming malice.

Without the lethality and asymptomatic spread, you don’t have a pandemic.

How do you make a severe influenza virus look like a global pandemic in order to push your financial and political agendas? Spread it into the communal living arrangements of nursing homes and withhold early treatments that result in 75% of all deaths... while changing death certificate protocols to make every death a COVID death.

What happens when the world wakes up and realizes the truth of what you’re saying? I asked this question a few months before in the context of waking people up by proving they killed the nursing home residents; which is easier than you think.

What’s the best way to soften the blow; as a child psychiatrist would for a child? Am I wrong in thinking that when this all comes to light that the entire world will have suffered something along the lines of familial rape trauma? (Betrayal Trauma Theory)? That's where my intuition leads. I wish I knew more about psychology to better articulate the issue. Sorry about that chief.

Anyway, love your writing.

Stay in your own movie,

You would think that after two years of this nonsense and seeing the failure, we would want to do better. It seems otherwise. Dr. Aaron Kheriaty, MD, is one of the people trying to push back against new proposed laws for California. I mention this as his concerns match neatly with yours (and mine).

If the new laws are passed, he notes:

##

Californians would live under a regime that allows: (1) the state to force on children medical interventions that are not FDA approved, (2) the state to muzzle the speech of physicians and decide which interpretations of scientific or medical evidence are correct, (4) the state to censor online information it does not like (4) the state to act as surrogate parents for 12-year-old children who are not yet cognitively and emotionally capable of giving free and informed consent to medical decisions that have potential lifelong ramifications, and (5) the state and its agents to access your personal medical records without your consent.

And there's more.

Basically, the doctor / patient relationship is gone. A medical doctor, even if in private practice, is an instrument of the state; the patient, a subject.

If people wait to act they will soon have no opportunity to act -- no agency. Below are two of the proposed laws:

##

AB 2098: classifies any medical opinion that runs contrary to the establishment’s covid narrative as “misinformation” and subjects physicians expressing such views to charge of “unprofessional conduct” which is subject to discipline by the medical licensing board.

SB 920: authorizes medical board to inspect a doctor’s office and medical records without patients’ consent.

##

The critical inquiry which science and clinical care require is now “misinformation” and potentially "unprofessional conduct.”

Your private medical records, 4th Amendment rights be damned, are subject to inspection at the state's whim.

What nation are citizens and residents of the USA living in? I'm having trouble recognizing it.

Yes, it's astonishing. As we say in our business, "poor reality testing" or corrupt. I have a new friend and ally, a psychologist who is threatened to lose her license, even though she sees clients on computer, denied a religious exemption and has to take legal action. It is an exercise in domination into submission.

If i've been given false information, then i've been misinformed. If i've been given false information to intentionally deceive me, then i've been misinformed (deliberately). I dont need "disinformation" as a category...

Locally the term entered usage via the press early 1980s. Those days it was only ever used by US intelligence. You might recall the USSR was publishing accurate reports about the state of the economy (Glasnost & Perestroika)... The US agencies believed the factual reports not only to be false but were meant to distract from some other evildoing the commies were plotting. (The Spooks suspicious mindsets about all things USSR prevented them understanding what was actually going on in the USSR at the time)...

Once 'popularised' via the mass media the terms meaning varied, though a consensus has formed that it's a replacement for misinformation , meaning "false information which is intended to deceive."

To me, to dis-inform someone is to provide them with information, whether accurate or false, that will make them doubt the accuracy of the information they already have...information which they were going to act on - to create doubt so they dont act...

Simple example (?) I read an article on vitamin D that informs taking 8000 mg/day is best if i want to maintain health etc, A friend supplies an article that informs that liver damage could result if i take more than 4000 mg/day. I've been made to doubt the accuracy of the original article, so i wont act on it...

A good explanation of "disinformation" as a tactic was contained in a Tobacco Industry 1969 Internal Memo: "Doubt is our product since it is the best means of competing with 'the body of facts' that exist in the minds of the general public."

Everyone knows how they used information to delay regulations for years...

Thank you, once again, Michelle for providing such a cogent argument for us to consider. I especially liked the quotation from Carl Sagan. Here's one from Mark Twain - “A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.” Mark Twain
