If you have money in the market you need to protect… Or more importantly, wondering how we could be on the verge of the largest stock market sell offs in history… Then you need to [watch this quick video immediately](. Billionaires across the globe have been sounding the alarm bells. And according to our research, this coming Monday could be the day disaster strikes. And if you want to learn a unique strategy that can hedge your portfolio… Allowing you to take home enormous returns in the process… [Then don’t waste a single moment. Watch this before it’s too late](. We’ve lived through 19 months of the biggest fake data claims of our lives, and there is no end in sight. The more the news media can sell a seemingly clear point that whips up disease panic, the more likely it is that every news outlet will push it. It will be seen by tens of millions. I once tried to correct these things, daily, but it is hopeless. By the time the correction comes out, a new fake claim has gone viral and the correction is only seen by a few thousand people. The latest of course is that 1 in 500 Americans have died of Covid. The statement is absurd. To repeat what everyone should know, the average age of death attributed to the virus is nearly identical to the average life span, which is to say that people who die with a Covid-attributed death are dying when we would otherwise expect them to, except in this case there are two or more additional comorbidities at work. Nothing has changed about that basic data in 19 months. If you graph the proportion of death by age, in 2020, in the US, you find nothing particularly unusual. The chances that an older person will have died of Covid is increased but that he or she would have died at all is about the same. So what does the data imply? Covid changed nothing about the demographics of death, but the year of the pandemic itself did see a rise in excess deaths overall, that is the extent to which deaths outpace what is expected. Every 8 to 10 weeks, 1 in 500 Americans die in normal times. 2020 saw an increase of 16% more deaths than expected, which expressed in time changes the trajectory by about 2 months. People who have examined this data very carefully have come up with a very odd conclusion: a vast number of those excess deaths occured in people younger than average. Also 2020 saw a vast increase in deaths from drug overdoses, accidental injury, and many other factors unrelated to the pandemic. This suggests the possibility that a tremendous amount of the excess is due, not to Covid, but to the policies surrounding Covid. Misattribution of Death There is a growing realization in many circles that the data we have as it relates to Covid is extremely unreliable. The first person to alert me to this possibility was none other than George Gilder. It was the summer of 2020 when he first told me that the real scandal of this pandemic would be PCR testing. He suggested that this technique was never designed for diagnostics but rather for research, and it was capable of generating many false positives. Well, the New York Times later confirmed this with an article suggesting that as many as 9 in 10 tests in Massachusetts in a two week period were determined to be false. That’s a remarkable number because it suggests that the tests are almost useless. What the tests were showing was the presence of the virus in the nose but not actual sickness. This was called “asymptomatic” at the time but what it really meant was not sick — to use old-fashioned terminology. We all know that government policy at the time offered a financial reward for hospitals that declared patients to have Covid. This was perhaps intended as a help during the pandemic but the whole thing quickly corrupted the existing data on hospitalization and death. What we have not known until recently was anything about the extent to which this was true. Now a new study has come out with alarming results. There were 7 researchers from various Boston institutions and what they sought to know was whether and to what extent people diagnosed with Covid in hospitals fell after the vaccine became available. But in order to understand that, they also had to know how many people were ever hospitalized with severe or moderate sickness. In the course of their study, what they found was actually shocking. I will quote from the paper and then provide an interpretation in English: Among 47,742 admissions in 38,508 unique patients with laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2, N=28,731 met the criteria for moderate-to-severe COVID-19. The proportion with moderate-to-severe disease prior to widespread vaccine availability was 64.0% (95% CI, 63.1-64.9%) versus 52.0% in the later period (95% CI, 50.9-53.2%), p-value for non-constant effect, <0.001. Disease severity in the vaccine era among hospitalized patients was lower among both unvaccinated (55.0%, 95% CI, 53.7-56.4%) and vaccinated patients (42.6%, 95% CI, 40.6-44.8%). In English, half the patients in the cases they studied at a Veterans Administration hospital did not have severe or even moderate Covid. They were in the hospital for other reasons. What this means in fact is that perhaps half the people in hospitals who are declared sick due to the pandemic are there for other reasons unrelated to SARS-CoV2, meaning that this data we have is corrupted by 50%. As David Zweig sums up in the [Atlantic]( “In other words, the study suggests that roughly half of all the hospitalized patients showing up on COVID-data dashboards in 2021 may have been admitted for another reason entirely, or had only a mild presentation of disease.” And if that is true of hospitalization, it is certainly true of death too. Having lived and breathed this data for a year and a half, it would not surprise me to discover that 100% of the excess deaths in our time are due not to the pandemic, but to the policies to mitigate it. Death by government, in other words. What’s more, anyone who knows anyone who works for a hospital already knows this. We’ve all heard outrageous stories of misclassification. It’s the least-kept secret of this whole pandemic, namely that we’ve got Covidmania on the loose here, with nearly every malady that is plausible re-classified, all in the name of money and furthering the panic. So this crazy number being thrown around everywhere today that 1 in 500 people have died of Covid is mostly, if not entirely untrue, based on what we know from the existing science. The Grave Has Already Been Dug Reader [Tombstone]( ReaderReader, you’d have to be blind not to see that the stock market is completely divorced from the economic reality… We have record unemployment, the millions of jobs lost in the pandemic aren’t coming back, and now Biden and Co. are running up the debt faster than any administration in history… And as the stock market continues to hit new highs… the REAL economy digs itself deeper and deeper into a recession… But you can’t fake a recovery… Which means Reader, that the grave has already been dug… And the stock market is just a deadman walking… All it would take is a tiny push to send us spiraling over the edge into the abyss. And on September 20, 2021… THIS Monday… it looks like we just might get it.

It only takes a few minutes to look at the Texas government site that keeps track of all of this. What we [find]( is not shocking at all. We can actually check the data to find 1) hospital resource use has been mostly flat since they opened back up in the summer of 2020, 2) only 22% is Covid positive, and 3) the trend is down. Here is total hospital resource use. We see a slight increase but that is hardly surprising given how many treatments and diagnosis were missed in the spring and summer of 2020. But it is nothing like a crisis at all. Not even close. [Statewide Total Hospital Resources] Then if we look more closely at Covid data (50% of which could be misclassification) we find that it only accounts for 22% of the total. And that proportion is falling. [Statewide Hopital Bed Usage] All of which is to say that there is zero basis for this hysteria at all. I’m so sorry to belabor all of this, but the propaganda is so overwhelming, so skilled, so ubiquitous that there needs to be someone out there willing to tell the truth. I would not call this pandemic a fake, but it does need context and perspective. Meanwhile, we have seen American liberty and constitutional rights absolutely crushed. Now we have Fauci demanding that the right of unvaccinated Americans to travel be taken away. And this is despite the discovery that the vaccinations themselves do not stop infection or spread. So none of this makes any sense at all. So there you have it: your daily dose of reality. My advice is to turn off the television and stop looking at those notifications from mainstream sources on your phone. They are all designed to perpetuate the [panic]( and provide cover for political control and economic wreckage.
