Oswald in the doorway: the blog of the Oswald Innocence Campaign, by Ralph Cinque

Let's compare Covid to the flu. There are huge differences. The flu is depicted as a seasonal illness, but they are way past that with Covid, which started in winter but has been raging all summer. So, the flu starts and ends and then starts anew in the fall. Covid is all year long.

The flu has specific symptoms that are always respiratory, but which may also include body aches and gastrointestinal symptoms such as vomiting and/or diarrhea.

So, the flu is fundamentally respiratory, and they started off claiming the same thing for Covid. But then, there was a sea change, where Covid could be non-respiratory, and it could be anything. It could go somewhere without hitting respiratory first, even though it is a respiratory virus and the disease is called Severe Acute RESPIRATORY Syndrome.

Note that in the early days, the Chinese never described it as anything but a respiratory illness, that it started in the head and chest and then to full-blown pneumonia, and that was its course.

But then, with the mania of testing in the West, particularly in the United States, and the willingness to claim that "If a patient with Symptom Complex X tests positive for Covid, then his or her Symptom Complex X is due to Covid."

The Chinese early-on reached the decision that it was best to ignore asymptomatic positives, and they even suggested to stop testing asymptomatics. That paper got published in a prominent medical journal, but then, under pressure, they withdrew it and disavowed it. And then the doctrine in the West became that not only are asymptomatic positives highly contagious, but they are sick on the inside; it's just not manifesting with symptoms.

Note that in Medicine, they distinguish between "signs" and "symptoms." Signs are what a doctor sees through testing and observation, but it doesn't involve complaints by the patient. Symptoms are what a patient complains of.

But, it is ludicrous to claim a dissociation between signs and symptoms, especially for a respiratory illness. No such disassociation is claimed for the flu.

It is extremely unlikely that an symptomatic person has internal and clinical signs that are comparable to those of a person in the throes of acute illness. So, all this talk about the lungs of asymptomatic carriers looking as bad as those who are on respirators is very likely a grotesque lie. If their lungs were that bad, why wouldn't they be aware of it? Why wouldn't they have symptoms?

So, with the flu, it is with us perennially, year after year, forever, but it's considered seasonal. Since Covid is not considered seasonal, it means that it is NEVER going to go away. And we can be absolutely certain that as long as they keep testing for Covid, there will be people testing positive.

David Crowe taught us that the way SARS1 came to and end is that they stopped testing for it. There is no sign that they are ever going to stop testing for Covid.

What I am telling you is: be prepared for the likelihood that Covid is going to go on forever, that the masking and social distancing are here to stay.

When is life going to get back to normal? Never. We may NEVER get back to life the way it was before Covid.

Ah, but what about the Covid vaccine? What government and media are ignoring like idiots is the track record of the flu vaccine, which stinks. It really does stink. In the last flu season, the CDC claimed only 37% effectiveness for Influenza B. That means that for every 3 unvaccinated persons who caught the flu, 2 vaccinated persons did. They fully admit that vaccinated people can catch the flu. The situation is that: THE FLU VACCINE WORKS EXCEPT WHEN IT DOESN'T.

And remember that those dismal figures are from the CDC, and you know how preposterous their figures are. They tell us, for instance, that 36,000 to 60,000 Americans die of the flu each year when practically all those deaths are due to bacterial pneumonia.

The benefit of the flu vaccine is so meager that they do not dare do double blind/placebo controlled studies of it. Of course, they don't do such studies for any vaccine, but their excuse for the childhood vaccines is that it would be unethical to deny any child the protection. But, in the case of the flu vaccine, for American adults, it's about half and half. And that's on a good year with heavy compliance. In a bad year with poor compliance, well less than half of American adults willfully don't get it.

So, why not compare their outcomes to the vaccinated in formal scientific studies? They won't do it. They have no excuse not to do it, but they just won't do it.

So, they are pushing this vaccine whose effectiveness and safety have never been proven, and mandating it for children- as old as 30.

So, what's going to happen this time? Well, I hope it's not as bad as the Swine Flu Pandemic of the 1970s in which they killed dozens and caused Guillain-Barre Syndome in many more before they finally called it off. Will they mandate the Covid vaccine wherever they can, such as for school children, military personnel, and hospital workers? Probably. If it overtly starts harming people and killing people, they'll have to back off. But, as long as the harms can be obscured (and I guarantee you there are going to be harms) then they may just add it to the childhood vaccination schedule forever. In other words, we'll be living in a Covid world forever.

I don't think it will reach the point of mandating Covid vaccines for everybody. I assume they know better than to try that. I assume they know that they would have to send the Gestapo to people's doors and force needles in their arms, and then America, as we know it, would be gone. But, I do think they will do everything possible to make life difficult for those who refuse to get vaccinated, such as prohibiting them from any government job.

So, what's going to happen this fall and winter? Covid will go on. It's not going to go away. People will get the flu, as happens every year. Some of them will be said to have the flu; some will be said to have Covid; and they will come up with some cockamamie diagnostic criteria to say when a person has both.

Note that there is very little testing done of flu sufferers. Usually, it's diagnosed by symptoms alone. Covid, in contrast, is usually tested for, although there are also plenty of "presumptive" cases, as well.

Where it goes from here with testing is anybody's guess. It looks like the PCR test may be falling out of favor. But one way or another, they will keep testing. And they will go where the wind takes them in their decrees. If they have to change something, they'll change it And they'll always have the excuse that "the virus mutated."

So, the bottom line is: life is NEVER going back to normal. That's the past. Kiss it goodbye. Covidism is now woven into the fabric of our lives permanently, and that is the Brave New World that lies ahead.
