So, What Should We Make Of This?

The Thinking Housewife recently shared a short video by a group calling themselves the World Doctors Alliance. Awful globalist-sounding name aside, the organization declares itself to be "an independent non-profit alliance of doctors, nurses, healthcare professionals and staff around the world who have united in the wake of the Covid-19 response chapter to share experiences with a view to ending all lockdowns and related damaging measures and to re-establish universal health determinance of psychological and physical wellbeing for all humanity." 

The WDA includes the following on its website:

We were told initially that the premise for lockdown was to ‘flatten the curve’ and therefore protect the NHS from being overwhelmed.

It is clear that at no point was the National Health Service (NHS) in any danger of being overwhelmed, and since May 2020 covid wards have been largely empty; and crucially the death toll from covid has remained extremely low.

We now have hundreds of thousands of so-called ‘cases’, ‘infections’ and ‘positive tests’ but hardly any sick people. Recall that four fifths (80%) of ‘infections’ are asymptomatic (1) Covid wards have been by and large empty throughout June, July, August and September 2020. Most importantly covid deaths are at an all-time low. It is clear that these ‘cases’ are in fact not ‘cases’ but rather they are normal healthy people.

So-called asymptomatic cases have never in the history of respiratory disease been the driver for spread of infection. Rather it is symptomatic people who spread respiratory infections - not asymptomatic people.(2)

It is also abundantly clear that the ‘pandemic’ is basically over and has been since June 2020. 

We have very highly likely reached herd immunity and therefore have no need for a vaccine.
We have safe and very effective treatments and preventative treatments for covid, we therefore call for an immediate end to all lockdown measures, social distancing, mask wearing, testing of healthy individuals, track and trace, immunity passports, the vaccination program and so on.

There has been a catalogue of unscientific, non-sensical policies enacted which infringe our inalienable rights, such as - freedom of movement, freedom of speech and freedom of assembly. These draconian totalitarian measures must never be repeated. 

The site contains many other observations and insights concerning the birdemic; the same sorts of observations and insights many bloggers (including yours truly) have voiced since about March 2020. These include: 

  • Covid has proved less deadly than previous influenza seasons – There were 50,100 flu deaths from December 2017 to March 2018 in England and Wales. There were 80,000 flu deaths in 1969. To date we have circa 42,000 covid related deaths in the UK.
  • We have never locked down society for a respiratory virus before.
  • The basis for lockdown was a mathematical model by Professor Neil Ferguson. His modelling which predicted half a million deaths in the UK has been roundly condemned as being not fit for purpose. His estimated death figures were clearly wrong by a factor of 10 or 12 times. 
  • The vast majority of deaths occurred in elderly and very elderly people
  • The vast majority of deaths occurred in people with pre-existing serious health issues such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer’s, diabetes etc.

And so on . . . 

Now I am not a medical doctor, but back in March I argued that the birdemic scare should never have made the news, and that it was being used a pretext for something far more sinister. This organization of doctors appears to agree with that notion. The only questions I have concerning this organization of medical professionals:


  • Is it sincere/honest/legitimate?
  • Will it have any impact at all on the birdemic? 

I am doubtful on both points.  

As Bruce Charlton noted very early on, the birdemic is not about the birdemic. In this regard, the birdemic has achieved its purpose. The coup has happened; the totalitarians are in control. I very much doubt the general public of any nation will be moved by organizations like the World Doctors Alliance.

Well, it's refreshing to see some doctors prepared to observe and think; because it seems that a large majority of doctors can/will do neither (especially of the younger generations); and merely pride themselves on being obedient to the career bureaucracy and leftist media. This is both practically and morally inexcusable, since it is an abandonment of the basic duties of a physician - and entails a systematic blindness to clinical observation.

@ Bruce - Yes, it is refreshing. I've often wondered about the many physicians that have basically abandoned their duties - about how they could sleep at night knowing that they were playing along with what amounts to a propagandistic lie, but then I quickly remembered that nearly everyone in every field has all but abandoned their duties.

It will be interesting to see if things like this WDA will have any legs.

Greetings,

As John Derbyshire noted here

https://vdare.com/radio-derb/revolution-counter-revolution-gop-convenes-and-chamber-of-commerce-goes-democrat-etc)

a revolution usually entails a counter-revolution.

This WDA thing looks like such an instance, a/k/a a team of Obscure Powerful Characters Behind The Scenes (the counter-revolution) reacting to other team of Obscure Powerful Characters Behind The Scenes (the birdemic revolution), both using the usual cast of NPCs*, assembled from the available useful idiots.

In the end, some of us know that God will prevail, so it's all a fait accompli.

@ a.k. - The second paragraph of your comment touches upon a source of my doubts.

In March I kept referring to the birdemic response as a "dress rehearsal" for the real takeover by the global elite. Then by June I changed my opinion to: nope, this is the real deal- the takeover already happened. When I went back through the timeline, I figured it happened sometime in April because ALL media dissent or questions on the birdemic response roundly ceased.

But in the last month I've again changed my thoughts to: I am awaiting the the arrival of the strongman (probably a woman) in the western countries. The population has been simmered perfectly to this point, so whether it is agreement or dissent, the height of the anger on both sides will increase to the point where either side is willing to do whatever they need to do to crush the other. Enter strongman. For the sake of goodness and peace, of course.

I want to ammend my previous comment. There is always hope. I always leave open, no matter how unlikely, the possibility that this will bring about a realignment in the spirit of the masses that Jesus is Christ and that God is real. Maybe this doctor group is a glimmer. Hey, I had an amazing baby at the age of 44 with multiple reproductive health issues; for me anything is possible no matter how unlikely.

"God will prevail, so it's all a fait accompli."

Well, in a sense. But for individual souls - surely some will be damned, perhaps many? And God will not necessarily prevail in this world - since that is not the promise.

Therefore I don't find 'fait accompli' is a helpful way of thinking about it - from any individual's persepctive everything is to win or lose.

Francis,

The events of this past year have permanently soured my opinion of medical professionals. The writing was on the wall for me when I saw my cousin-in-law (an ER physician with decades of experience) sob like a baby over... doing an absolutely normal day's work, or what would be, if there wasn't a propagandistic push to paint Macaronivirus as the deadliest scourge since the Black Death.

I was also horrified beyond belief when I discussed the injustice of the lockdowns with a nurse, which led to my uncle (suffering severe neurological problems and left blind by a skull fracture) isolated in hospital/rehab for 19 days where the only thing he could hear were the howls of other patients separated from their families. The nurse's response was "don't be selfish" and "people are dying."

While we had small numbers of medical researchers speaking out at the beginning of the catastrophe, for the most part I do not have any trust, nor pity for the growing group of anti-lockdown doctors. Possibility one is that they are beginning to realize that the medical profession is rapidly losing credibility with the general public and they are trying to curry favor from the mob, lest they get trampled underfoot. Possibility two is that this group, the WDA, is being set up as a false messianic movement, like QAnon and so many others set up by the Cabal. I believe Albert Pike said something along the lines of "We will provide the people a hero" (to oppose a villain they themselves created).

@ Ingemar - Yes, I harbor similar reservations; hence the doubt I expressed in the post. What the WDA has stated is true; however, its motivations might not be as clear as they appear.

Regarding your doubts on the sincerity/legitimacy of the organization: was the warning flag the utter garbley-gook language of the mission statement you quote? I actually had to read this post twice because an organization that puts out such a meaningless purpose statement never says anything sensical!
