Covid History

“By 2020, we had a century of science telling us exactly how respiratory viruses spread. We knew the patterns. We had the research. We had better tools, better technology, better everything.

And we still got it wrong.

We told people to lock down inside. We sealed our windows shut. We blocked access to beaches and parks.

Then acted bewildered when infection rates soared.”

COVID killed more people in 4 years than AIDS did in 40.

“It’s frightening enough to imagine that AIDS could happen again... and that it’s multi-system AIDS, but happening quietly, globally, and to everyone.”

“Society of Actuaries report on COVID cause specific excess mortality published in Dec 2024 is an eye-opener.

These are the guys that follow the money.

Things that stood out for me:

Covid 19 deaths underreported and mis classified as natural deaths (that are related by mitochondrial dysfunction) DM, dementia, heart disease, etc.)

Seems as though c-19 infection hits the mitochondria and advances the natural history of these co-morbid diseases.”

“Imagine a story that starts with a leak. Not just any leak—an engineered pathogen, maybe a bioweapon, released by accident or hubris. The initial response? Remarkable. Swift, focused, global. But then—stall. Not because the crisis was over, but because the implications were too unbearable.

To stop this virus meant changing how we lived. Cleaning the air. Wearing masks. Every day. Forever. And so, the public—spoon-fed lies by the status quo—chose the comfort of denial. The elites, deeply invested in preserving profit over people, sold the myth of “normalcy.” And the masses bought it wholesale. Soon came the exit ramps. Monoclonal antibodies—shut down. A promising protein-based vaccine from the little-guy company? Silenced. Buried. Anything that threatened the billion-dollar vaccine oligopoly or called for actual structural change was swept off the table. Because now—they told us—COVID was no longer important. Red states, the first to abandon public health altogether, dragged the science-forward communities into apathy. Collective fatigue was reframed as rationality. And just like that, masking—like every other preventative health behavior we fail to maintain (don’t smoke, don’t drink too much, exercise regularly)—was dropped. Only this time, it wasn’t just personal risk. It was communal air.

We could have given every school the same protections afforded to New England’s CDC directors and White House science advisors. But we didn’t. Instead, we said fuck Florence Nightingale and chose to reenact an Amber Heard–Johnny Depp toxic drama with our own public health system—shitting the bed on the simplest, most effective intervention of all: clean air.

Now, the former left-wing “health justice” crowd is out here farting their carcinogenic apathy, while a billionaire MD who might actually have something useful is selling his science on right-wing conspiracy TV. Like this script wasn’t bizarre enough already. Trump, ironically, helped his base discover death. And Biden? He finished the job for the lingerers. Now Trump is back—this time aiming to kill us in ten million other ways, with Measles Man (RFK Jr.) warning about food dye while ignoring the most contagious, immune-wrecking, airborne pathogen humanity has ever seen.

COVID isn’t over. It’s a vascular accelerant. A neurological saboteur. A viral remnant with no cure, no test, no reliable treatment, and no honest public reckoning. And yet here we are. Gaslit, infected, distracted. Coughing our way into oblivion.”

“In 2003, a novel coronavirus swept through Hong Kong, China, and Toronto.

It moved fast, killed quickly, and changed how we saw infectious disease.

This is the story of SARS: whistleblowers, cover-ups, and fear.”

“You lived through COVID-19, and now you can listen to survivors’ stories from across Vermont.

The Life Became Very Blurry podcast documents life during the pandemic through the eyes of everyone from health care workers to families. It’s a unique piece of history, and for some interviewees, it’s empowering.”
