I Remember a ‘Pandemic’
Do you?

JUN 12, 2024

Disclaimer: This piece is called ‘I remember…’ but of course my memory is not perfect. I am also not an expert in any medical science, nor am I a statistician. And, being human, I am susceptible to factual error. As such, I welcome any correction to what follows—just drop me a line and let me know where my reasoning, my data or my sources are open to question, and if I’ve erred I’ll revise what follows accordingly. Blanket dismissals based on an emotional reaction to ‘pandemic’ in scare quotes, or to one or two factual or semantic errors (i.e. ignoring the whole argument), or on ideological grounds (that I must be a fascist for advancing such an inhuman position), or on the chillingly dystopian assumption that one must be an expert to make ethical judgements, will be ignored.

Only the small secrets need to be protected. The large ones are kept secret by public incredulity.

I remember a worldwide ‘pandemic’, which occurred between 2020 and 2022. During these three years the world population grew,1 all-cause mortality rates were not wildly abnormal,2 hospitals were so empty staff could spend their time making amusing dance videos and the good old fashioned flu mysteriously vanished from medical records as a cause of death. The IFR3 of this ‘pandemic’ was similar to a bad year of the flu, perhaps a very bad year (such as the 1957 flu epidemic).4 It overwhelmingly struck people in their seventies and eighties (i.e. at the age they die anyway), it did not kill children, those most susceptible to deadly illnesses of this sort, it did not kill celebrities under the age of 50, and, miraculously, it left the whole continent of Africa unscathed.5 I also remember that the data that revealed all this was openly available at the time, just as it is now.

There clearly was a rise in all-cause mortality during the ‘pandemic’ years, there clearly was a virus killing people. The reason I am making it possible to instantly dismiss my position, by putting ‘pandemic’ in scare quotes, is because, firstly, I draw the line where the WHO used to in its pre-Covid definition of pandemic, as an enormous number of deaths and illness,6 which is to say an event which, by virtue of its enormity, is visible, which can be verified by the senses. Secondly, because I am not interested in arguing with people who don’t access reality through their senses.
