Turns Out the Death Rate Is No Higher. What Gives? We have the answer.

 There is much in the news, and much that is uniformly bad to alarming.  Sidney Powell was rebuffed by a Federal District Court in Michigan because, as the Court noted, she was too late in bringing her suit.  Should've got there sooner, but of course, then it would have been that there wasn't enough evidence.   Since she now has the evidence, its because she got there too late.  Oh, and the Court didn't want to "disenfranchise" any of the illegal votes...no, no.  She would rather disenfranchise the 74 million legal ones.

 Such rulings are discouraging, and it is easy to become cynical.  It is hard to remain a happy warrior.  But as St. Paul noted in 1 Corinthians 18-23:

Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you seems to be wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise. 19For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, “He catches the wise in their own craftiness”; 20and again, “The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile.” 21Therefore let no one boast in men. For all things are yours: 22whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas, or the world or life or death, or things present or things to come—all are yours. 23And you are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s.

So, I remain a happy warrior knowing that this is all in God's hands, and I try to stay on God's side in all this. All is proceeding according to His plan, whatever that may be.

So, instead of the other bad news, let me tackle the Covid-19 bad news.  It seems that a program director for a masters degree program at Johns Hopkins University did the unthinkable, and debunked the entire pandemic panic porn at its base (gasp) with official statistics, no less. Philip Mella at the American Thinker has the story in a post entitled The Science and Politics of Covid-19. I urger gentle readers to go read the whole article.

One of the most important lessons of the past nine months is that epidemiological models are predicated on assumptions and that statistical data can be manipulated to conform to a variety of desired outcomes. They are therefore an alluring target for political exploitation.

It was therefore noteworthy when a November 22 study published by Johns Hopkins University was subsequently deleted by the university because an official stated that it "was being used to support false and dangerous inaccuracies about the impact of the pandemic."

The study, titled "A closer look at U.S. deaths due to COVID-19," was conducted by Dr. Genevieve Briand, assistant program director of the applied economics master's degree program at the university. Her analysis made the astonishing conclusion that "in contrast to most people's assumptions, the number of deaths by COVID-19 is not alarming. In fact, it has relatively no effect on deaths in the United States."

The emphasis is mine. I have noted in the past that the general response of those certifying deaths has been that if a person died with the Wuhan virus, the cuase of death was put down to the virus whatever the actual cause. Thus, someone with the Covid who died of being shot in the head might plausibly be listed as a Covid death. (For the Leftists among you, I am joking.)

But all joking aside, the misuse of the virus as a cause of death has been used to ramp up the totalitarian efforts to take away peoples businesses and their rights. The worship of our God has been severely hampered. Low information types, as well as mask fanatics and busybodies have bullied the people into wearing masks even outside, or when driving in the cars alone. Such people believe a piece of cloth over the face somehow provides protection from the virus similar to the cross supposedly protecting against vampires.  They are correct in neither case.

The proof of the above statement lies here:

Dr. Briand compiled a graph from data on the CDC website representing percentages of total deaths per age category from early February to early September, which includes the period from before COVID-19 was detected in the U.S. to after infection rates soared.

Remarkably, the deaths of older people were unchanged prior to and after the advent of COVID-19. Because COVID-19 primarily impacts the elderly, experts anticipated an increase in the percentage of deaths in older age groups. But the CDC data didn't support this presumption. In fact, the percentages of deaths among all age groups remain relatively the same.

As Dr. Briand noted, "[t]he reason we have a higher number of reported COVID-19 deaths among older individuals than younger individuals is simply because every day in the U.S. older individuals die in higher numbers than younger individuals." She subsequently determined that the range of deaths among the older population was within the range of past years.

I not only urge you to read the article, but as well to read the linked study. Then, take action as you may. If these tyrants don't recieve push back, they will just keep turning the screws. Of course, be civil in your protests. Remember, though, that if even words are violence, they have been the first to weaponize words.
