If the yellow (plus light yellow) area for 1957 in the chart just below is about the same overall visual size as the gold for 2020 — and they are given the 1957 data has been population and age adjusted using standard CDC methodologies — then we just might be victims of this video’s thesis.
Fauci either knows this chart exists in principle and suppressed it — rather than use it to inform and properly calibrate us right from the start as he should have — or is even more moronic than I give him credit for. You can take your choice from the deadly intent to deadly incompetence range spectrum.
The two largest additional variables/ arguments around this are lockdowns and vaccines…
NOTES:
The 1950’s data looks “blockier” than the C19 data since the historical data record granularity back then in the “Vital Statistics of the United States” is in months and not weeks as in the current CDC data feeds.
The CDC’s official estimate of 116K excess deaths from flu in 1957 can be found here which then population and population+age adjusts to 220K and 400K respectively which this chart driven off of all causes deaths confirms with only moderately suspect tweaks on my part in synthesizing an excess sine deaths baseline (as the CDC likely did knowingly to create a “scary” number to help drive general flu fear).
Regarding lockdowns, in 1957 there weren’t any — the closest they came to that was when schools didn’t have enough students or teachers and closed for a week or two. And with no lockdowns the economic effect was mainly the drag of sickness on the economy. I have seen estimates of a 1% hit but I haven’t dug into it more deeply.
Regarding today’s lockdowns there are now lots of papers and analysis pointing out the claimed gains are either non-existent or are now just delaying or even increasing inevitable deaths in the most vulnerable older population. This exposition by Rushworth of the US Marine and Frontiers in Public Health lockdown studies is quite interesting — viruses gonna virus (and the Marine study suggests asymptomatic cases are a much larger proportion than admitted resulting in higher infection numbers than are officially claimed by the iatrocracy in order to drive the fear via a higher IFR%). There was also some prescient early semi-sane modeling foreshadowing negative effects to lockdown that was memory holed.
New York City also puts the laugh to lockdowns when you realize that they have the world’s most towering and perfectly shaped Gompertz death curve at 2,800 deaths per million — but almost no deaths lately relatively speaking (see that tiny bump at the end with your microscope?). And wait for it … the George Floyd riots affected it barely if AT ALL.
And the idea that the NYC lockdown has suppressed anything is also laughable in light of the fact that the the lower income neighborhoods are running at 32% antibodies and hidden behind that simple bar is a full history of 33.7% averaged back into the peak (and another chart showing 61% antibodies just past the peak citywide) LOL
Did I just say 61% ? Why yes, I did.
Shhhhh!!! Nobody in the city has had the ro and the esteemed mayor is an Olympian god keeping the nonillions of virus particles away! /sarc
And notice that even the “Low poverty” Karens in Manhattan are (unknowingly since this chart is too complicated for them) not hiding from the ro quite as much as they think!
And regarding vaccines, for 1957 there was one (the exception proving the rule that by definition there are no vaccines for pandemics) but its impact was disputed. And for the 1968 pandemic which caused 280K pop+age adjusted deaths and whose curve looks surprisingly close to the non-trivial 1959-60 flu also shown on the chart, the vaccine was in fact too late arriving in August 1969 after the Gompertz had passed.
So evidence that things would have been worse without vaccines is sketchy at best.
And of course there is still no vaccine distribution for C19.
Given this, sane people can be forgiven for harboring distrust and suspicion of our newly annointed iatrocracy.
Did I forget to mention you need to watch this dark piece of art?
