COVID-19 deaths fall worldwide, though cases are increasing, says WHO



New coronavirus deaths reported worldwide plunged by 17% last week, while COVID-19 cases rose, reversing a trend of declining infections, the World Health Organization said Tuesday.

In its weekly report on the COVID-19 pandemic, the WHO said there were more than 11 million new cases across the six regions tracked by the U.N. health agency, about an 8% increase over the last week. There were 43,000 new deaths reported, which is fewer than the week before and continues a trend of declining deaths from the virus.

As of March 13, 2022, there have been over 455 million confirmed COVID-19 cases and more than 6 million deaths reported globally, the WHO said.

Broken down by region, the largest increases in COVID-19 cases were seen in the Western Pacific and Africa, where infections rose by 19% and 12% respectively. Meanwhile, cases have decreased by more than 20% in the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and in the Americas.

"These trends should be interpreted with caution as several countries are progressively changing their testing strategies, resulting in lower overall numbers of tests performed and consequently numbers of cases detected," the WHO warned.

That warning comes after countries including Sweden and the U.K. have announced an end to widespread testing for COVID-19, saying such programs are too costly and will only have marginal benefits as the virus becomes endemic. Many European countries have lifted COVID-19 restrictions in recent weeks, with travel restrictions coming down in Europe as the latest indication that governments believe the pandemic no longer poses the same threat it did two years ago.

However, rising cases in the Western Pacific have caused China to reimpose some lockdown measures in its northeastern province. The country mobilized military reservists on Monday in response to an outbreak of the "stealth Omicron" variant, in what is the largest viral outbreak in the country since the pandemic began in 2020.

The Associated Press reports that the reservists have been deployed to keep order and register people at testing centers, while drones are in use to carry out aerial spraying and disinfection, according to Chinese state media. The city of Shenzhen, which has 17.5 million people and is a hub for tech and financial industries, has been put in lockdown.

In the United States, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Tuesday that wastewater testing indicates there's been a rise in COVID-19 cases between March 1 and March 10. One-third of the agency's wastewater sample sites showed an increase in cases, which is double the amount of coronavirus measured at these sites between Feb. 1 and Feb. 10.

“While wastewater levels are generally very low across the board, we are seeing an uptick of sites reporting an increase,”said CDC wastewater monitoring program director Amy Kirby, in a statement to the AP. "These bumps may simply reflect minor increase from very low levels to still low levels.”

She added: “Some communities though may be starting to see an increase in Covid-19 infections, as preventions strategies in many states have changed in recent weeks.”

The agency said CDC's testing program is limited to areas that collect and report on wastewater surveillance and does not represent the entire nation.

“It’s too early to know if this current trend will continue or whether we’ll see a corresponding increase in reported cases across the country,” Kirby said.

Horowitz: Omicron: Mother Nature’s universal booster



In the ultimate irony, those who get more boosters appear more at risk to get the new variant of coronavirus. At the same time, God appears to be offering natural boosters by making this variant a mild illness that doesn’t cause lung inflammation or blood clotting, and new evidence suggests that it might offer protection against more serious strains of the virus. So why aren’t the public health “experts” taking “yes” for an answer and ending the failed vaccines and panic-induced mandates? Inquiring minds would like to know.

Bizarrely, numerous states were quick to partially suspend the monoclonal antibodies based on a rumor that they no longer worked against Omicron. At the same time, they are doubling down on the ineffective injections that not only fail to work, but actually appear to make people more likely to contract the virus.

In Maryland, for example, one day after the governor contracted COVID (after getting three shots), then treated himself with the monoclonals, the Maryland Department of Health announced that it was pausing federal allocations of the monoclonal antibody treatments because they “may not be effective against the new Omicron variant.” At the same time, they urged people to get the shots that failed the governor. Well, if the antibodies no longer work in the monoclonals, which until now were working better than the vaccines, then the vaccines most certainly don’t work.

Last week, the Indian Express reported that 33 of the 34 people hospitalized for Omicron in Delhi’s Lok Nayak hospital were fully vaccinated. This data is very revealing because India still has a relatively low vaccination rate compared to the U.S. and Europe. Thankfully, none of them needed oxygenation and it was unclear why they were admitted, but to the extent the COVID fascists want to create undue panic over Omicron, it’s not being driven by the unvaccinated.

The U.K’s Office of National Statistics already found in a survey that the vaccinated are exponentially more likely to test positive for Omicron, and now Danish data seems to indicate the same for some age groups.

According to the U.K.’s latest Vaccine Surveillance report, which factors in infection rates for all variants together, the vaccine effectiveness is down to negative 75% for 18- to 29-year-olds, negative 98% for 30- to 39-year-olds, and negative 131% for 40- to 49-year-olds. The vaccine effectiveness was in positive territory only for those over 70 years old – but still well under 50% for most – likely because Omicron is infecting mainly the younger people.

Ironically, while the powers that be continue to push the failed vaccines, a lot of local officials are tacitly admitting they don’t work by going back to the original failed mask mandates. Let’s put aside the fact that these masks absolutely do not work ...

However, they are obfuscating the truth from the public that while nothing seems to work against Omicron, the variant itself is very mild and will give people immunity on the cheap.

The decoupling between cases and fatalities from Omicron is unmistakable. South Africa was the original epicenter of the Omicron outbreak, and for the first time since the beginning of the pandemic, the case fatality rate has dropped to near zero.

Which is why you should be suspicious of any news about hospitals being flooded with patients. It’s true that in some places in the U.S., they are still dealing with the lag effect from the seasonal virulence of Delta’s outbreak and possibly some residual percolation of that much more severe strain. But you will not see large rises in hospitalizations from Omicron because, as a study from the University of Hong Kong suggests, Omicron is fundamentally an upper respiratory infection and rarely replicates in the lungs. A new preprint study from the Soto Lab in Japan also found in hamsters that the spike protein from Omicron has a much weaker fusion to the cells than the one in Delta, thereby making it “less infectious and pathogenic.”

However, because Omicron stays in the nasal pharynx, it spreads as rapidly as a cold. Thus, if we are going to count every last case of the cold with mass testing, can you guess how many people in the hospital at any given time might be incidentally infected? The U.K. Telegraph reports, “Hospitals are reporting high numbers of ‘incidental Covid’ patients who are admitted for unrelated reasons, an NHS chief has said, warning hospitalization data should be treated with caution.” The Miami Herald reports that at Jackson Health, “60% were diagnosed after being admitted for another reason, according to the hospital system’s internal tracking report."

Thus, if anything, to the extent we still have problems in the U.S., it’s precisely because Delta hasn’t been fully flushed out by Omicron yet. Otherwise almost nobody would get seriously ill with coronavirus. For states and cities to have relaxed restrictions during Delta and then use Omicron as pretext to bring them back is scientifically backward. Then again, the imposition of these mandates to begin with was always voodoo for any respiratory virus.

So, is Omicron too good to be true? If it is so mild that even those with prior SARS-CoV-2 infection can get it, then does infection with this variant convey immunity against stronger strains of the virus in the future? Sigallab in South Africa conducted a study and found that those infected with Omicron experienced a 4.4-fold enhancement of neutralization against Delta over a person without any infection. If these results hold, it will mean that the masses of the world could achieve herd immunity with much less pain than from previous variants or possibly future, more virulent variants.

The fact that global and local governments are using the exact wrong variant to promote vaccines and masks – which never worked for more serious, less transmissible strains – against an unstoppable yet mild variant demonstrates that this has been and will always be about social control, not source control.

Horowitz: The country that ‘succeeded’ against COVID with masks has the highest case rate in the world



Those who believe in the freedom of bodily autonomy are celebrating a slew of recent court rulings enjoining the Biden administration’s injection mandate. However, no GOP state attorney general has bothered to fight the equally immoral, illogical, and inhumane mask mandates that are still in place. Despite nearly two years of evidence that strict mask-wearing has zero effectiveness in stopping the spread, the mandates on 2-year-olds on planes and in many schools still continue. Slovakia is a perfect case study of the mask mendacity.

On May 13, 2020, the Atlantic published an article lauding Slovakia for, at the time, having the lowest per-capita COVID death rate in Europe. The article’s prediction should now be the laughingstock of the world:

When this pandemic ends, and when the reckoning over how the world responded invariably begins, Slovakia will likely be among those highlighted as a success story, whereas the United States—which was supposed to be the country best prepared for such a crisis—will be remembered as among those that suffered the worst. How Slovakia was able to flatten its curve comes down to more than just quick decision making and the widespread adoption of face masks. Perhaps the greatest lesson to be learned from Slovakia is of the value of leading from the front.

Slovakia was so worried about masks that the country even got Taiwan to donate hundreds of thousands of these useless cloths as part of a bilateral trade agreement.

Well, that was before Slovakia’s first winter wave. One can excuse people for mistaking low spread at the time for mask efficacy rather than the fact that the country just didn’t get its turn yet. But for countries to continue this inhumane mandate despite what we now know demonstrates that masks are not a means to public health but an end in themselves of tyranny.

At over 2,000 new cases per million per day, according to Our World in Data, Slovakia now has more cases per capita than any country in the world. To put this in perspective, that is almost three times the level of the winter peak in the U.S., a country that has not exactly performed well in the pandemic!

It’s true that some individual states closer to the size of Slovakia have had more severe waves. However, even the worst counties in the upper Midwest are tracking about 1,200 new cases per million per day.

And here is the epidemiological curve presented by the inimitable Ian Miller, juxtaposed to policy solutions:

Slovakia now leads the world in case rate, which is odd because The Atlantic last year said that \u201cWhen this pandemic ends...Slovakia will likely be among those highlighted as a success story\u201d due to their commitment to masking and lockdowns\n\nWonder if we\u2019ll get any updates!pic.twitter.com/zVjeNjf5S4

It’s not just Slovakia. Wherever you turn in Europe, both masks and vaccine mandates have failed miserably, and the spread is now worse than ever. Belgium is now six weeks into the new mask mandate, and it has more cases than ever before, even though the Belgians already suffered one of the deadliest waves in all of Europe. Oh, and 87.4% of adults are vaccinated.

Cases in Belgium are the highest they\u2019ve ever been, over a month into their new mask mandate and with 87.4% of adults fully vaccinated so I\u2019d love to know why the media hasn\u2019t done a story on how Ron DeSantis managed to create his Florida state guard and invade Belgium so quicklypic.twitter.com/z6fkjV2z9k

To begin with, the CDC, as late as May 2020, was citing the 10 randomized controlled trials that showed “no significant reduction in influenza transmission with the use of face masks.” The Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine at Oxford also summarized six international studies that “showed that masks alone have no significant effect in interrupting the spread of ILI or influenza in the general population, nor in healthcare workers.”

The only randomized controlled trial studying mask efficacy against COVID published last year was the now famous Danish study that failed to show any meaningful reduction in spread from mask-wearing. Then, several months ago, the media trumpeted a large study done in Bangladesh that seemed to show efficacy. Well, now that the authors have released the actual data, we see that indeed no such claim can be made from the study. It turns out that out of over 340,000 individuals over a span of eight weeks, there were only 20 fewer cases of COVID detected in the mask group over the control group – 1,106 symptomatic individuals confirmed seropositive in the control group and 1,086 such individuals in the treatment group.

Even these results are hard to interpret because of numerous confounding factors. University of California Berkeley professor Ben Recht critiqued the study as follows:

This study was not blinded, as it’s impossible to blind a study on masks. The intervention was highly complex and included a mask promotion campaign and education about other mitigation measures including social distancing. Moreover, individuals were only added to the study if they consented to allow the researchers to visit and survey their households. There was a large differential between the control and treatment groups here, with 95% consenting in the treatment group but only 92% consenting in control. This differential alone could wash away the difference in observed cases. Finally, symptomatic seropositivity is a crude measure of covid as the individuals could have been infected before the trial began.

Given the numerous caveats and confounders, the study still only found a tiny effect size. My takeaway is that a complex intervention including an educational program, free masks, encouraged mask wearing, and surveillance in a poor country with low population immunity and no vaccination showed at best modest reduction in infection.

In other words, you can now add this to a list of 400 studies compiled by the Brownstone Institute that fail to find any correlation between public policy interventions and better pandemic outcomes.

It’s not OK for Republican-controlled states to continue to ignore the facts that masks are inhumane and they simply don’t work. Consider the fact that Head Start has now mandated masks on 2-year-olds, many of whom have special needs. Oregon has moved to make its mask mandate permanent. Why are no red state governments at least suing against the federal mandates, and why are so few red states even banning mask mandates within the states?

The courts are all political. They only responded to the lawsuits against the vaccine mandate when they saw robust political opposition within the political branches of the red states. They see no such opposition regarding the mask mandates. Thus, absent a unified effort from state attorneys general, they are unlikely to respond to a handful of individual lawsuits. The same legal rationale denying the feds the power to force vaccines also denies them the power to cover our breathing holes. But the courts only respond to political momentum.

If nearly two years of masking failing to work anywhere is still not enough to end the most invasive human mandate of all time, then we truly are no longer a free people.

California's Santa Cruz County mandates mask-wearing in private homes



An indoor mask mandate has been reinstated in Santa Cruz County, California, after a surge in winter coronavirus cases has led to increased hospitalizations.

The county health department is requiring that people wear face coverings in indoor settings, including in private homes. The mandate went into effect on Sunday at 11:59 p.m, after the county reported a seven-day average of 72 coronavirus cases per 100,000 people — placing it in the "substantial" transmission category, according to the CDC.

"Unfortunately, a potential winter surge appears to be a significant threat to the health and safety of our community," Santa Cruz County Health Officer Dr. Gaill Newel said in a statement.

Both people who have been vaccinated against COVID-19 and those who have not are required to wear face coverings indoors. Business and governmental entities are being told to require their employees to wear masks and to post signage at points of entry for their indoor settings to alert the public of the mask requirement.

Anyone who works in a closed room or office by themselves or with members of the same household does not have to wear a mask. The health department's statement also clarifies that masks are not required during indoor activities where they "cannot be worn safely," which includes eating, drinking, swimming, showering in a fitness facility, or obtaining medical or cosmetic services.

However, people in private settings — including their own homes — are required to wear masks if they are visited by anyone outside of their households.

"As we look forward to spending time with those we love during the holidays, it is important to protect vulnerable friends and family members by wearing a mask indoors," Newel said.

"Everyone who has not been vaccinated should get their first dose as soon as possible, and anyone who was vaccinated more than six months ago should seek out a booster."

Santa Cruz County has among the highest COVID-19 vaccination rates of any county in California, with 70.8% of the population fully vaccinated, according to the CDC.

California currently has one of the lowest coronavirus infection rates in the country, with only 1.9% of people testing positive for the virus last week, according to the state's COVID-19 dashboard. And while coronavirus hospitalizations in the state have fallen about 14% over the last month, officials are raising concerns about a potential surge of cases over the holidays.

Gov. Gavin Newsom on Monday urged state residents to get vaccinated and wear masks over the holidays, observing that at least 27 other states have seen at least a 10% increase in COVID-19 cases in the past week.

"Ask the governor of Michigan (or) Colorado how they are doing," Newsom said. "States are struggling because people are taking down their guard or claiming 'mission accomplished.' ... I don't want to see that happen here in California."

Horowitz: 10 places that show the COVID shots have failed miserably



At some point the COVID fascists and the injection addicts need to own the failure of their own policies. For better or for worse, they have been successful in defeating and censoring any opposition, so it is their policies that are the ones in place — not ours. They must therefore own the panic from the growing spread in many states and countries.

The reality is that anyone who has not had prior SARS-CoV-2 infection is "unvaccinated." There is no vaccine for this virus, and the therapeutic that is fraudulently being marketed as such has clearly made the virus worse than last year, even though most adults have taken it and despite half the population already having had the virus.

As bad as the results from the so-called vaccine are, just remember the efficacy is even worse than you think. When outcomes (cases, hospitalizations, deaths) are subject to reporting delays but vaccination rates are not, the inevitable result is an overstating of vaccine efficacy. What this means is that much of what we think of as waning efficacy may actually just be poor efficacy from the get-go.

While there are dozens of examples of vaccine failure across the globe – with cases spreading quicker than they ever did before the vaccination – here are 10 of the most jarring examples:

1. U.K.

There is nowhere to run or hide from the negative effects of the shots in the U.K. After accomplishing one of the quickest and most universal vaccination drives, the U.K. now has more cases than it did during last winter's wave when nobody was vaccinated.

The new wave of Covid cases in the UK now surpasses the previous one, despite mass vaccination.pic.twitter.com/NfBRDzDlsz

— Covid19Crusher (@covid19crusher) 1637004364

The U.K. Health Security Agency also puts out the most consistent granular data on cases by vaccination status each week. Indeed, in all age groups above 30, there is now a negative efficacy to the shots, and in some age groups, the vaccinated are twice as likely to get COVID as those without the shots.

Plugging in the percentage vaccinated by each age cohort, you get a rough efficacy against symptomatic infection as follows:

Houston, we've got a problem. The only reason the numbers for children are so high aside from the fact that most were vaccinated recently is because they are mass-tested in schools.

According to the UKSHA data, roughly 82% of the deaths the past three weeks have been among the fully vaccinated.

2. Iceland

Few countries in the Western world did better than Iceland … before the mass vaccination. Although the country still isn't experiencing too many deaths, as the population appears to be somewhat immune all along, Icelanders have now experienced two larger waves than before 92% of adults chose to get the shots.

Cases in Iceland continue to skyrocket, even with ~92% of adults fully vaccinated\n\nIn fact, cases are up 4,600% since Fauci said getting 50% vaccinated would prevent future surges\n\nNot one person has asked him why he was wrong or how anyone can possibly justify vaccine passportspic.twitter.com/OEEKeEPH3Y

3. Singapore

Singapore blows up the myth of the shots perhaps more than any other country. It is one of those Far East countries that, based on a year of data, appeared to be somewhat immune to the virus, especiall to critical illness. Yet, precisely after nearly every adult in the country was vaccinated, Singapore is now experiencing a wave that blows out any prior wave – to the point where the population is now incurring what is the equivalent of 800 deaths per day in the U.S.

Nearly 19 months into their mask mandate and with 85% of their entire population fully vaccinated, Singapore is reporting the equivalent of ~800 deaths per day in the US, proving once again that ending the pandemic is easy if you just listen to The Experts\u2122pic.twitter.com/M24p8SvAEN

— IM (@ianmSC) 1636322570

Although the U.S. has obviously experienced more than 800 deaths a day, that is a very high number for a country that enjoys much better health and lower obesity rates than Americans. There is nowhere to run or hide and nobody else to blame. Clearly, the shots have made the virus worse.

4. Netherlands

The Dutch mistakenly thought that a seasonal low in cases was really due to the vaccines. Well, after achieving an 84% vaccination rate among adults, they have now suffered a 680% increase in cases in the virus in just a month and a half. They set a record in cases per day as well as a 19.2% positivity rate.

Cases in The Netherlands are up 680% in the month and a half since they mandated vaccine passports for restaurants, bars and other businesses and are now at an all time high proving once again how unbelievably effective vaccine passports are at controlling COVIDpic.twitter.com/3agHcGRdIx

Rather than suspending this dangerous shot and pushing early treatment and monoclonal antibodies, they are headed back to lockdown.

5. Belgium

If there is any country that you'd think would be done with this virus, it's Belgium. The Belgians already had a massive wave last fall and have suffered one of the highest death rates in the world. Yet despite (or perhaps because of) a similar vaccination rate to the Netherlands, they are now experiencing another large wave, several months after vaccinating most adults. Which province has the highest case rate? You guessed it – the most vaccinated one! According to the Brussels Times, West Flanders, where 60 out of 64 municipalities are above 80 percent vaccination (nearly universal among adults), is "experiencing an incidence of 1,363 cases per 100,000 inhabitants over the last 14 days, it is by far the province where the virus is circulating the most, and where the increase remains the strongest (+67 percent in one week)."

6. Cayman Islands

In case you think the surge is an anomaly in Europe, the Cayman Islands are now experiencing their worst surge in cases to date. With just 65,000 people, this island nation had very little COVID for the past year and a half. According to Reuters, the country has administered at least 116,507 doses of COVID vaccines so far, which would essentially be enough to give nearly every adult two shots. So, they avoided COVID altogether, right? Nope, they have one of the highest case rates per capita in the world precisely after they achieved universal vaccination.

7. New Mexico

In the United States, we supposedly have states that did it right and states that did not. New Mexico has had strict lockdowns, strict mask-wearing, and one of the stronger vaccine coercion regimes. New Mexico ranks 14 among the 50 states in terms of vaccination rate. It now has a higher case rate than neighboring states experiencing the same seasonal wave among the Western Mountain states. Hospitals are now at 150% capacity.

New Mexico, with the highest vaccination coverage and an active mask mandate, has taken a substantial lead over Colorado & Utah in new cases\n\nAmazingly, no one in the media has the slightest interest in the fact that The Science\u2122 never actually seems to make much of a differencepic.twitter.com/dsDQ6SNATB

8. Maine

After vaccinating, at least partially, nearly 100% of those over 65, Maine now has as many hospitalizations and more cases as last winter, and it's only mid-November.

With ~100% of everyone over 65 in Maine at least partially vaccinated, hospitalizations are at an all time high, which is bizarre because Fauci went on CNN 5 months ago & said 50% of adults being vaccinated would prevent surges\n\nIt is astonishing that anyone still listens to himpic.twitter.com/Q0GFM0tb4M

— IM (@ianmSC) 1636659570

Remember, Maine not only has a vaccine mandate on workers, but it does not accept religious exemptions. Points for "effort" are not awarded by this virus to faulty vaccines.

9. Seychelles

Nearly every African country has done pretty well with COVID, but this tiny island country in the Indian Ocean has more deaths than almost any country in Africa, even though it has, by far, the highest vaccination rate in the continent. In fact, the country barely had a single death before the mass vaccination! By my count, all but 14 of its 122 deaths occurred after 60% of the country and most adults were vaccinated.

10. Gibraltar

And now for the one that takes the cake. Despite having the seventh highest per capita COVID death rate and fifth highest case rate since the beginning of the pandemic, this tiny country is now on its second Delta wave. This, despite 100% of the adult population having had the Pfizer shots and 40% having had the boosters! You can't beat a tiny country that is 100% vaxxed and was "being careful" the entire time, right? Well, the Gibraltar government has just advised people to cancel Christmas plans. Its current case rate is over 160 per hundred thousand, nearly double the rate in the U.S. during its winter peak.

The media keeps asserting that a leaky vaccine is somehow better than no vaccine. But we know that a 2015 study on a leaky chicken vaccine concluded the opposite. "Our data show that anti-disease vaccines that do not prevent transmission can create conditions that promote the emergence of pathogen strains that cause more severe disease," warned the U.S. and U.K researchers on the failed Marek's disease vaccine. Given the reality of what we see before our eyes, why is this not a concern regarding the leaky vaccines for humans?

Horowitz: Late surge of COVID in Argentina and India exposes fraud of mask mandates



One hundred days of Biden's mask-wearing have come due, and they have failed miserably to alter the natural trajectory of the virus. The time has come for lawsuits against the demonic mandate that 2-year-olds wear masks on planes, forcing the government during legal discovery to produce a morsel of evidence that masks make a difference even with adults.

Given that COVID fascism and mask-wearing are a cult, its practitioners will never admit that the viral spread is 100% natural, seasonal, and geographical and that it will continue until every country reaches immunity. But given the terrible physical and psychological consequences of these policies, it's important for us to remind ourselves that they were all pain and zero gain.

Argentina did everything "right," according to the public health "experts." The country had one of the earliest and most draconian lockdowns, a mask mandate in place since April 14, and even forced cremation of some of those who died from the virus against the will of Jewish residents who asked for a proper burial.

Argentina, like many of the countries around the world that barely experienced any virus deaths during the first few months of the pandemic, thought that its draconian policies enabled the country to dodge the bullet. But when spring turned into summer, the population began experiencing growth in cases that later intensified, as we have seen in many countries that first escaped the virus. Argentina was praised by the liberal media for following the science and imposing a "strict COVID-19 lockdown," which "saved lives."

Given that Argentina had only one major wave, it was due for at least one more robust round, like every other country has had. The "virus is gonna virus" until populations reach herd immunity, like what happened in England and most parts of the U.S. All the places that "defeated" the virus are now having to defeat it again; all the places that did better than those hit first are now doing worse. It's all natural and has nothing to do with human intervention. Some people might have forgotten about the trajectory of cases in Argentina, but the inimitable Ian Miller is here to remind us:

Argentina was one of the earliest countries in the world to mandate masks, back on April 14th, when cases were incr… https://t.co/FQ83B9If5t

— IM (@ianmSC) 1619810712.0

The bottom line is that Argentina is a large country and could not escape the full spread of this virus, just like California, where officials erroneously thought they had defeated it through the voodoo of non-pharmaceutical interventions. Yet, as hospitals began to fill up, the Argentine government doubled down on failure, as President Alberto Fernandez declared that the previous restrictions were "insufficient." He therefore announced limited travel during nighttime hours because, of course, the virus spreads more at night. Now, watch Argentina catch up to the herd immunity level of other countries as this wave spreads undaunted by the power grabs, yet he will credit those measures for the inevitable decline in cases that always follows a sharp increase.

Then, of course, there is India. During December, as most of the world was experiencing its large winter wave of the virus, India barely had any spread after experiencing a large spread over the summer. The WSJ published an article on Dec. 30 titled, "COVID-19 was consuming India, until nearly everyone starting wearing masks." You know, because we've never seen any place in America with everyone wearing masks that suffered from the virus! NPR hailed India's success in enforcing mandates on outdoor joggers by stationing police outside to hand out fines.

Well, like every other place in the world, masks "worked" until it was time for natural seasonal spread in that given area. Yes, India, given its massive share of the world's population, had relatively few cases for the first year of the pandemic. Which is why it had the greatest spread of any country when it was time – because there was so much new ground unprotected by herd immunity for the virus to target.

Now, let's put aside the fact that much of India already had a strict mask mandate early last year and still experienced a first wave. As Ian Miller shows, India suffered a 1,400% increase in cases since the Wall Street Journal quoted Indian health officials as crediting their universal mask mandate for stopping the spread. However, they will never follow up on their drive-by reporting. In each case, the media credits periods of lack of spread to mask-wearing, but then forgets about the masks when the virus spreads with a vengeance. Then, when cases inevitably come down again, it's the masks, or perhaps more recently, the vaccines.

In reality, it's an all-natural phenomenon. In California, where the virus spread prolifically in the late fall/early winter despite the earliest lockdown and mask mandates in America, the virus had already peaked before a single vaccine was administered:

Let's now travel farther east than India, and we will discover the fact that, for whatever natural reason, the virus has barely spread for the first year. Which is why the Far East is the world's new hot spot. There are few people there with immunity.

Japan is part of the Far East surge this spring. The Japanese have been hailed for months for their "mask culture" even predating this virus. You'd be hard-pressed to find people more disciplined about wearing masks than the Japanese. Well, it "worked" until it didn't.

So Japan’s 7-day average is now nearing the highest level it’s been over the past year, despite 98% mask compliance… https://t.co/8dKgUhMCXF

But we need not travel around the world to discover the obvious fact that it is natural phenomena, not human interventions, that are driving the cyclical and geographical spreads. All the experts warned that there would be catastrophe when nearly half the states got rid of their mask mandates, beginning with Texas and Mississippi two months ago, especially with the supposed new mutant variants. Yet at the same time, it was the northeastern states that spread much more severely as cases plummeted in the southern states and other non-masked states.

How many more weeks of hospitalization data from Texas will it take for experts and media and Twitter personalities… https://t.co/REcTW1eJTD

Gee, why do you think the most recent spread all happened to be clustered in the Mid-Atlantic states? No mask mandates? Well, in these states, people are wearing them even outside. It doesn't take Sherlock Holmes to discover that this is all natural based on timing and geography.

As WalletHub found in a recent analysis ranking the 50 states and D.C. by stringency of restrictions, there is simply zero correlation between stringency and outcomes with the virus. Our government succeeded in locking down everything but the virus.

In reality, lockdowns and masking were just as logical before the vaccine as afterward. Which is why Biden is still pledging to wear his mask outdoors. This was always about the cult of control. Likewise, it was always known that schoolchildren were never major vectors of spread. Now that new emails between the CDC and the teachers' unions have come to light, it is clear that the CDC knew this fact as well but allowed the teachers' unions to rewrite its February guidance to limit its categorical advice of returning to in-person instruction.

Just like with the Jonestown Cult in the 1970s, an entire society has been programmed to commit suicide based on illogical faith in idols and fear of fellow man rather than embrace grounded common sense. Now that Fauci has been exposed as the Jim Jones of our time, how many will continue drinking the Kool-Aid?
