Covid-19: failure of the western approach
by Thierry Meyssan
Thursday 1st of April 2021
The Covid-19 epidemic affects the whole world, however its mortality varies from 0.0003% in China to 0.016% in the United States, that is to say more than 50 times more. This difference can be explained by genetic peculiarities, but above all by differences in medical approach. It attests that the West is no longer the center of Reason and Science.
Ayear ago, the Covid-19 epidemic arrived in the West, via Italy. Today we know a little more about this virus, however, despite knowledge, Westerners persist in misunderstanding it.
1- What is a virus?
Science is by definition universal: it observes and constructs hypotheses to explain phenomena. However, it is expressed in different languages and cultures which are sources of misunderstandings when we do not know their specificities.
Thus, viruses are living beings according to the European definition of life, but simple mechanisms according to the Anglo-Saxon definition of life. This cultural difference induces behaviors in each of us. For the Anglo-Saxons, it is advisable to destroy the viruses, while for the Europeans it was - until last year - to adapt to them.
I am not saying that some are superior or inferior to others, nor that they are incapable of acting in a way different from that induced by their culture. I'm just saying that everyone sees the world in their own way. We must make an effort to understand others and we are only truly capable of this if we are open to it.
Of course, the West is a more or less homogeneous political whole, but it is made up of at least two very different cultures. Even as the media keep playing down these differences, we must always be aware of them.
If you think viruses are living things, you have to compare them to parasites. They seek to live to the detriment of their host and especially not to kill him, because they would die of it themselves. They try to adapt to the host species by varying it until they find a way to inhabit it without killing it. The variants of Covid-19 are therefore not the “riders of the Apocalypse”, but very good news in line with the evolution of species.
The principle of the containment of healthy populations was decreed by the United States Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld, in 2004. It was not a question of fighting against a disease, but of causing mass unemployment to militarize Western societies. [ 1 ]. It was distributed in Europe by Doctor Richard Hatchett, then Pentagon Health Advisor and now President of CEPI. It is he who, about the Covid-19, coined the expression "We are at war! », Echoed by President Macron.
Likewise, if one thinks that viruses are living things, one cannot give credit to the epidemic models developed by Professor Neil Ferguson of Imperial College London and his followers, such as Simon Cauchemez of the Scientific Council of London. 'Elysium. By definition, the growth of no living being is exponential. Each species regulates itself according to its environment. To trace the curve of the start of an epidemic and then to extrapolate it is intellectual absurdity. Professor Fergusson has spent his life predicting disasters that never happened [ 2 ].
2- What to do when faced with an epidemic?
All epidemics have historically been successfully fought by a mixture of measures isolating the sick and increasing hygiene.
When it comes to a viral epidemic, hygiene is not used to fight the virus, but the bacterial diseases that develop in patients with the virus. For example, the Spanish flu, which raged in the years 1918-20, is a viral disease. It was in fact a benign virus, but in the context of the First World War, the very poor hygienic conditions allowed the development of opportunistic bacterial diseases which killed en masse.
From a medical point of view, isolation applies only to the sick and to them alone. Never in history has a healthy population been confined to fight a disease. You won't find any medical literature over a year old anywhere in the world that contemplates such a measure.
The current confinements are neither medical nor political measures, but administrative. They do not aim to reduce the number of patients, but to spread their contamination over time, so as not to congest certain hospital services. This is to compensate for the mismanagement of health institutions. Most viral outbreaks last three years. In the case of Covid-19, the natural duration of the epidemic will be extended by the administrative duration of the confinements.
The confinements practiced in China had no more medical reason. They were interventions of the central Power against the errors of local Powers, in the context of the Chinese theory of the “mandate of Heaven” [ 3 ].
The use, by a healthy population, of surgical masks to fight against a respiratory virus has never been effective. Indeed, until Covid-19, none of the known respiratory viruses is transmitted by postilions, but by aerosol. Only gas masks are effective. It is of course possible that Covid-19 is the first germ of a new kind, but this rational hypothesis is highly unreasonable [ 4 ]. It had been considered for Covid-2 (the "Sars"), but has already been abandoned.
It is important to clarify that the Covid-2 did not just affect Asia in 2003-04, but also the West. It was an epidemic like the Covid-19 in 2020-21. She is now being treated with interferon-alpha and protease inhibitors. No vaccine exists.
3- Can we treat a disease that we do not know?
Even without knowing a virus, you can and always should treat the symptoms it causes. It is not only a way to relieve the sick, but also a condition for getting to know this disease.
Western politicians have chosen not to treat Covid-19 and to bet all of their budgets on vaccines. This decision goes against the Hippocratic Oath to which every Western physician has pledged. Of course, many Western doctors continue their activity, but by being as discreet as possible, failing which they are threatened with ordinal and administrative sanctions.
Several drug treatments are however administered successfully in non-Western countries.
- From the start of 2020 - that is to say before the epidemic hit the West - Cuba showed that some patients could be treated and cured with small doses of recombinant Interferon Alfa 2B ( IFNrec). China built a factory in February 2021 to produce this Cuban drug on a large scale and has been using it for certain types of patients ever since [ 5 ].
- China has also used an anti-malaria drug, chloroquine phosphate. It is from this experience that Professor Didider Raoult used hydroxychloroquine of which he is one of the best world connoisseurs. This drug is used with success in many countries with no offense to the grotesque fake news of the Lancet and the mainstream media that this common drug, administered to billions of patients, is a deadly poison.
- The states which have made the opposite choice of the Westerners, that is to say those which have privileged the care rather than the vaccines, collectively developed a cocktail of cheap drugs (including hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin) which massively treats the Covid (see box). The results are so spectacular that Westerners question the figures published by these states, foremost among them China.
- Finally, Venezuela has started the massive distribution of Carvativir, a drug derived from thyme, which is also giving spectacular results. Google and Facebook (and for a while Twitter) censor any information about it as zealously as the Lancet tried to discredit hydroxychloroquine.
4- How will this epidemic end?
In countries that use the medical responses outlined above, Covid-19 is still present, but the epidemic is already over. Vaccines are only offered to people at high risk.
In the West, where we refuse to treat the sick, the only solution seems to vaccinate the entire population. Powerful pharmaceutical lobbies are pushing for the mass use of expensive vaccines rather than cheap drugs for a thousand times fewer patients. We then witness a murderous rivalry between the States to seize the available doses to the detriment of their allies.
For four hundred years, the West was in pursuit of Reason. He had become the herald of Science. Today, it is no longer reasonable. It retains great scientists, such as Professor Didier Raoult, and a technical advance, as the messenger RNA vaccines attest, but no longer has the rigor to reason scientifically. It is also necessary to distinguish the regions of the West: the Anglo-Saxon countries (United Kingdom and United States) have been able to manufacture messenger RNA vaccines, not the European Union, which has lost its inventiveness.
The center of the world has shifted.
