During 30 years of investigating “epidemics,” I’ve looked for causes that have nothing to do with the latest and greatest virus.
In other words, what else could be causing the symptoms of the illness?
In the current “coronavirus epidemic,” the one condition that has been emphasized is: pneumonia.
Standard medical texts will tell you that viruses, bacteria, and fungi can cause pneumonia. Add to that, heavily polluted toxic air (as in Wuhan and other Chinese cities). Add in extreme malnutrition. YOU DON’T NEED A CORONAVIRUS TO EXPLAIN CASES OF PNEUMONIA IN CHINA.
All right. So how many deaths from pneumonia occurred in China well before the “appearance of the coronavirus?”
Estimates vary. Here is one, based on an analysis of studies: 2.8 million to 17 million deaths per year. Source: “Pneumonia Incidence and Mortality in Mainland China: Systematic Review of Chinese and English Literature, 1985-2008” (PLoS one, 2010).
Notice the dates—1985-2008, long before the supposed coronavirus showed up. Before 5G technology, before a biowar research lab ramped up in Wuhan.
2.8 million to 17 million deaths. No need for a mysterious virus.
The wide variance in these death numbers is the result of trying to integrate Chinese language and English language studies, the huge expanse of territory in China, the huge population, and possible attempts, within China, to conceal true statistics.
What does all this tell us? It tells us that now, there is a gigantic pool of people with pneumonia, in China, who can be falsely labeled “deaths from the coronavirus.”
And that’s not all. There are other categories of illness that can be merged with pneumonia, in the rush to diagnose people with the coronavirus. I’m talking about “lower lung infections” and “influenza.” The mortality numbers leap even higher.
You might rightly ask, “So why hasn’t pneumonia, all by itself, been labeled an epidemic in China in past years? Why hasn’t the World Health Organization, at the very least, declared a state of emergency for China based on pneumonia?”
You can bet your bottom dollar that, if the “coronavirus epidemic” was said to reach 2 million deaths in China, the entire planet would be locked down tight, and no one anywhere would leave home. Both atheists and end-times prophets would be shouting that the extinction of all human life was upon us. Persons in high places would be meeting and saying the only solution was to nuke Earth and start over.
Let’s consider, for a moment, how easy it would be to label pneumonia outside China with the coronavirus tag. As in, “the virus is spreading everywhere.” Here is a quote: “[Globally] About 200 million cases of viral community-acquired pneumonia occur every year—100 million in children and 100 million in adults.” Lancet, volume 377, ISSUE 9773, P1264-1275, April 09, 2011.
But wait, you say. Pneumonia is only called “coronavirus” if the patient is tested and the virus is discovered. Otherwise, it’s just ordinary pneumonia. —Sorry, it’s not that simple.
First of all, in the pressure of an announced epidemic, all sorts of people who have elevated temperature and general flu-like symptoms will be called coronavirus cases. Metrics people will use computer models to estimate numbers of cases. And even when the most widely used diagnostic tests are done—those tests have serious flaws.
An antibody test, at best, only indicates the patient has come in contact with the virus. It says nothing about whether he is going to become ill. In fact, before 1984, a positive-reading antibody test was generally taken to mean the patient was in good shape. His immune system had defeated the germ in question. But then, after 1984, the science was turned on its head—and a positive test was falsely taken to mean the patient was ill or would soon become ill.
The so-called PCR test (which has many procedural problems and requires expert technicians who will not make mistakes) takes a tiny, tiny sample of what might be a virus from a patient, and blows it up many, many times so it can be observed. However, in order for this virus to actually cause illness, millions and millions of virus particles must be present in the patient’s body. The PCR test says nothing reliable about quantity of virus in a person.
Therefore, even when these tests are done on suspected cases of the coronavirus, they do not result in accurate knowledge about illness and disease.
If you’re beginning to think it’s easy to declare an epidemic and broadcast propaganda about it, you’re right. Take a conventional set of symptoms present in people all over the world, claim a new virus is causing them, and you’re off and running. You can report 500 or 1000 deaths from this virus and people will believe whatever you say or do next. They won’t realize that this set of symptoms has been present in millions and millions of people, for decades or centuries, without the new virus. They won’t realize millions of people have already died without the “new virus.”
Global epidemics solely based on germ-pronouncements, without environmental investigations (contaminated water supplies, open sewage, hunger, starvation, poverty, toxic chemicals, etc.), are industries. They’re business ventures. They’re operations launched to control populations and force them to take vaccines. They’re launched and sustained by professional liars, who’ve refined the old skills of snake oil salesmen through the use of “science,” in order to hypnotize the unwary. And when the vaccine of the moment—as in the Swine Flu epidemic duds of 1976 and 2009—turns out to be quite damaging, the snake oil pros say, “Well, every vaccine can cause rare problems, but all in all, they curb pandemics. We must inject them.”
If you automatically buy that one, you believe pigs can jump over the moon on the backs of cows.
Highly educated people do tend to believe pigs can jump over the moon, when it comes to so-called epidemics. They think, “I admire complex issues. Epidemics and viruses are very complex, and only the well-trained and sophisticated professionals can assess them. Therefore, these pros know what they’re doing. I reject THE SIMPLE.”
But THE SIMPLE is what these people need to know about. Otherwise, it’s still pigs, the moon, cows, and jumping.
“But…but…but this situation in China is NEW and UNPRECEDENTED, as of 2019. It’s never happened before. And the lockdowns and the quarantines…So there must be a new explanation, the coronavirus.”
If necessary, read this article again. The pneumonia-situation is not new. And the lockdowns and quarantines were theatrically laid on AFTER the blaring trumpet announcements of the “epidemic.”
It’s still over the moon.
Addendum: If, as some are claiming, the number of people dying in Wuhan, or other Chinese cities, is suddenly escalating at a furious pace—if this is really true—then look to the environment first: the production of far more polluted air, or the presence of a poisonous chemical.

I have been following your posts since onset of the pandemic and have found your arguments compelling. I am nevertheless troubled by the experience of my sister who is an ICU doctor and worked at a major New York City hospital. In March 2021 the unit expanded from 8 to 132 beds filled with seriously Ill patients many of whom presented similar symptoms plus conditions visible by X-Ray. She believes that there was a conspiracy to promote big pharma vaccines and to suppress effective alternative treatments such as ivermectin. However she is convinced that she observed an actual epidemic, at least in New York. She belongs to a group of doctors trying to get the word out about alternative treatment all of whom cared for many patients who they believe suffered from a disease that they had not seen before and was particularly virulent at least in older or otherwise compromised patients.
Daniel – sounds like there is much for your sister to learn about how our bodies really work. It has to do with the water in our bodies communicating, called cellular resonance. We detox when we get the signal to detox. Virus means poison in Latin. We are poisoned via bad water, food, air, thoughts (fear), emf’s. The symptoms of dis-ease are not contagious. The PCR test simply tests for exosomes that are packages of genetic material being carried out by the body because they are waste products. Positive tests can happen after a night of drinking. Negative tests can be had with a swish of mouthwash prior. PCR also wildly inflated. The low oxygen likely had to do with 5G being implemented in a crowded city with everyone’s wifi signals reaching multiple apartments. My local internet provider in the Buffalo area actually doubled the capacity for free, automatically, in January of 2021. We don’t need 5G; the govern-ment (ruling over the mental) does for tracking, digital ID’s, social credit scores. We are electrical beings and this excess signaling interferes with our health and our ability to electrically connect with each other as nature intended. Grounding helps and that is difficult to do in a city. Your sister saw fear, emf’s and nonsensical hospital protocols killing people. Check out Terrain the film now out on Amazon!
Great answer!
“If you’re beginning to think it’s easy to declare an epidemic and broadcast propaganda about it, you’re right.”
These days, State Media (which some mistakenly call Mass Media or Corporate Media or the Mainstream) – indeed, State Media — aka the loud and relentless voicebox of the Dark Siders — can declare anything they want and half of America will swallow it down whole… hook, line, and sinker. And then beg for more, please.
That’s the definition of a captured mind and a captured people. State Media spreading stinking fertilizer 24-hours-a-day and people with minds filled with Jello (or less) just staring blankly at their-Screen-of-Disempowerment with their mouths open and drooling and waiting for their next hit or fix to feed their obscene addiction to The False.
We all have to anchor ourselves to something. Many still cling to search for The Truth in whatever forms and ways they seek it. But many others have anchored themselves to — ‘The Other’. The Other being State Media or Dark-Sider Technocrats or Politicians that never solve anything and who seek only to enrich themselves. People seeking a false ‘truth’ handed to them on a filthy silver platter in the form of a cracked viewing screen.
But no true anchor can be to… ‘The Other’ anything unless it is our Great Spirit who allows this planetary nonsense to go on as a test of seeing when if ever we will collectively wake up.
One can only find Truth from within. It is never imposed from Outside. And certainly never from those who live for and breathe… the false.
Love this, Roundball Shaman! Thank you for taking the time to so eloquently speak your truth.

I believe Jon, you said, long ago, that the medical cartel/apparatus would be at the nexus, of actionable, world-wide-control, of the planet’s populace.
I guess you know what you’re talking about.
Using the RT-PCR regimen as a “diagnostic test” is a huge SCAM all by itself anyway!
The RT-PCR is a method for protein-multiplication! – IE: replicate what ever protein(s) that the RT-PCR test was programmed to multiply!
OF COURSE,
The MORE cycles the PCR is run, the greater the occurrence of the particular protein(s) “they” will end up with! – THIS is simply the RT-PCR doing what it was designed to do: “protein replication”!
– D’OH!
PLUS,
Those “viral proteins” they keep yammering on about,
Are most likely very common protein fragments, found in virtually ALL life forms on this planet!
The so-called “S-Protein” (“spike-protein”) is actually found in over ninety-five percent of the species of bacteria, protozoa, and many other archeia.
This protein is also found in common with nearly ninety percent of the human genome! (As one independent research demonstrated this – via several searches through the CDC’s own B.L.A.S.T. search system).
This whole horrid FRAUD was a lie from the very beginning, right down to the very base roots of modern “virology”! ! !
Thanks to the author of several very detailed articles on the “Fluoride Free Peel” blog!
The PCR technique amplifies defined segments of polynucleic acids (DNA or RNA), not protein.
Thank you. AD1776, for posting. So nice to read like-minded words coming from another soul!
Thank you for this well-reasoned piece!! It is absolutely true. The so-called epidemic was far worse in the top 5 most polluted cities in the world. Northern Italy was full of Chinese near-slave laborers at the time. They vacationed in Sarajevo coughing, spitting, unhygienically touching everything and everyone in sight, moved about like cattle, clearly malnourished. I was working there at the time and had dinner w/a hospital administrator. They had their 1st suspected cases in isolation and were trying to cover it up at all costs. For anyone who has been to Guangzhou, it is even worse. Everyone is sick and dispirited all the time. People drop dead or are involved in accidents and no one comes to help lest they become liable for the strangers medical bills. Cruel society made worse under this regime.
Again, thanks! We need this kind of perspective!!
Viral community-acquired pneumonia?
Well, we know that viruses do not exist, so what could be the true cause of this pneumonia?
An often overlooked cause for sickness are mice.
If mouse droppings contaminate your food that’s bound to make anyone ill.
Also, mouse droppings that dry and turn to dust can be breathed in and cause sickness.
Hantavirus is not a virus, it’s how humans react to mouse feces.
A Reader emailed me the following comment:

Why aren’t you aware of the real covid cover? It is 5G that is causing the illnesses people are experiencing.
Radiation poisoning. Surely you know of this. If I, a regular american can figure this out you can as well.
After much investigating and researching, all the illnesses are what 5G causes. Radiation poisoning causes exactly what their fake covid causes.
Right on!
