COVID-19, or COVID as shorthand, is an illness caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, a genetically-modified SARS coronavirus which engulfed most of the world between 2019 and 2021. It was genetically modified by Chinese scientists in a level four (max level) biolab in Wuhan, China, which was funded and overseen by Anthony Fauci of the American National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID) and his co-conspirator Peter Daszak of the international NGO EcoHealth Alliance. The biolab was performing gain-of-function research on the virus, which enhances the capabilities of pathogens nominally in order to study their processes of development.
Infrared views the "COVID-19 Pandemic" as a global event which signified the reinforcement of globalist world-planning and the decline of the US empire.
SARS-CoV-2 virus[edit | edit source]
The virus infects cells by binding its spike protein to the cell's ACE-2 receptor. It creates a respiratory illness infecting the upper respiratory system and, in more severe case, the lower respiratory system as well.
Infected hosts can be asymptomatic for two weeks before symptoms present themselves. Some hosts carry the virus without presenting symptoms at all.
Multiple variants developed as the virus evolved worldwide, with the most notable variants being Alpha, Beta, Delta, and Omicron.
The original (Alpha) strain of SARS-CoV-2 was detected in Britain in November 2020, with cases exploding in December. The original strain was not as deadly as it was made to seem (0.5% of cases resulted in death), and most of those who were put on ventilators or died from the virus had compromised immune systems (those of old age, the obese, diabetics, or other comorbidities).
The Beta strain developed about a year later in late 2020 in South Africa, and, while less deadly, it proliferated about double the pace of the original strain.
The Delta strain became dominant in the US in late 2020, soon after it was discovered in India. Delta became even more transmissible than Beta, but remained as deadly as the original.
With the Omicron variant emerging in South Africa and Botswana in November 2021, the virus became extremely transmissible and far less deadly than the original 0.5% of cases.
Thus, as many dissenting virologists, biologists, and journalists predicted, the virus turned into essentially a common cold or flu-like sickness.
Response in the United States[edit | edit source]
In order to obtain an Emergency Use Authorization to manufacture COVID vaccines, the FDA, CDC, other federal agencies, and mainstream media colluded to discredit medicines which were able to treat the infection, namely, the off-patent "wonderdrug" Ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine. If there are treatments already available and effective an EUA cannot be granted, which is why these treatments were surpressed by the federal agencies, journalists, business executives, and propagandized scientists.
Pfizer, AstraZeneca, and Johnson & Johnson were given massive grants to produce their respective vaccinations. While J&J made a traditional vaccine (from the dead virus itself, like Polio vaccines), Pfizer and AstraZeneca used a novel technology called mRNA to manufacture a synthetic set of proteins by reverse-engineering the spike protein of the SARS virus. The creator of this technology, the heavily-cited Dr. Robert Malone, disavowed the mRNA vaccines as ineffective, citing medical literature to support his argument.
Johnson and Johnson was forced to pull their traditional vaccine after reports of negative effects on pregnant mothers. Thus, American Pfizer and Oxfordian AstraZeneca were left as the only vaccinations available.
Initially, Anthony Fauci told Americans in a 60 Minutes interview that masks would be ineffective, only to walk this back months later. Though the virus could squeeze through even N95 surgical masks, he and other officials and pundits recommended wearing a mask of any kind, even ones they knew would not work such as cloth fashion masks, blue surgical masks, or KN94 masks.
Additionally, Fauci and other officials and "experts" recommended "lockdown" – everyone was told to stay in their homes, and "socially distance" at 6 (later 13) feet, even outside. These people were well aware that the virus would spread easier indoors, and that a lack of spent time outside would lead to a lack of zinc and vitamin D: both crucial vitamins for combatting COVID or any viral infection.
In many states and cities, business fired employees for not taking a vaccine, using CDC recommendations as the justification. In the name of "public health", people were barred from establishments, especially if they weren't wearing a mask of some kind. When the vaccines became widely publically available, the CDC issued vaccination cards, which became a sort of passport for restaurants, offices, business, live shows, and other establishments. In New York, 15,000 nurses were fired by governor Kathy Hochul and replaced by the National Guard for refusing to take a vaccination. In Minnesota, police were authorized to shoot anyone they caught outside, even on their own front porch, with paintballs.
Monopolists and Big Pharma in particular used the pandemic to create the largest upward transfer of wealth in human history, to the top 0.1% wealthiest people in the world. Bill Gates bought stock in Pfizer only to come out after Omicron and declare that the vaccines didn't really work well, and liquidated his 500 million in Pfizer stocks.
International response[edit | edit source]
In Canada, truck drivers who refused to take a vaccination of COVID protested such requirements, and were met with infiltration, smears in international media, and the Canadian government shut down their bank accounts and financial services such as PayPal.
