Over 800,000 protesters attended Berlin anti-lockdown rally on August 1st
German authorities originally estimated the crowd size at 17,000, but Berlin police now say it was over 800,000. Which is fairly obvious after watching this video:

For infected individuals under 70, median fatality rate is 0.05%.
It’s not the Plague, it’s not even the flu. For the sake of modern civilization itself, we have to forget all about COVID-19.
I’ve said this before, and the fact that it sounds so controversial is a testament to the effectiveness of the unending propaganda campaign surrounding the virus. But should it be? The virus itself poses no risk to any normal person of average health under 30, and low to moderate risk to anyone under 60. The average age of death hovers around 80, and almost all deaths and hospitalizations occur only in individuals who have a pre-existing condition. So, for the vast majority of us, rather than waiting around for a sketchy vaccine that will, at best, provide limited immunity, and bring with it a host of side-effects, why not just catch the virus and develop real immunity?
If we are really going to go the route of shaming others for not protecting others, why not shame them for not consciously contracting COVID-19? To develop natural, lifelong immunity would, by far, be the best way to protect the vulnerable around us. Isn’t that what the mask shamers are so up-in-arms about?
So rather than risk our lives, and those of our children, by forcing everyone to restrict their breathing through mask-wearing, let those not at risk catch the virus and recover from it.
The vast majority of us, over 99.5%, will easily survive a COVID infection. We have a mountain of data that shows exactly who is at risk, and who isn’t. We can identify those who are at risk. We can identify those who aren’t. For those of us who fall into the latter category, why not just catch it and get it over with? We would then be providing true protection to our fellow man, rather than an illusion of protection.
The countries that are sacrificing their populations under lockdowns are merely delaying the inevitable. The catastrophic suffering from shutting down the social world has been in vain. New Zealand and Australia, for instance, have descended into complete totalitarian states, all in the vain effort to prevent the spread of a virus that poses a threat only to a minuscule percentage of the population. We know who those people are. Isolate them, if you must, but allow the non-vulnerable majority to contract and recover from the virus. Instant herd immunity! Then the human race could turn the page on one of the most tragic, self-inflicted catastrophes in history.
Of course, there is more at play in this phony pandemic than merely stopping a virus. It’s about power, and money.
There is no stopping the virus. The vaccine, like the mask, will be a placebo, a talisman, a crucifix wielded before the phantoms of our mind. If there is no stopping the virus, then we must simply contract it, allow the virus itself to vaccinate us, and bring society closer to true herd immunity. Will anyone say that out loud? We know the answer to that.
Jeffrey Tucker is one of the few high-profile libertarians to have risen to the occasion in the face of virus fanaticism and authoritarian lockdowns. His latest piece is a strident call to (intellectual and philosophical) arms in opposition to the new authoritarianism. On the urgent need for a vocal, principled anti-lockdown movement, Tucker writes:
“Whether this movement is working in the realms of academia, culture, journalism, or politics, there is an absolute urgency that it exercise unrelenting moral courage and integrity.Ferociously. It should be uncompromising on crucial points. It must be willing to speak even when it is unfashionable to do so, even when the media is screaming the opposite, even when the Twitter mob floods your notifications, even when you are shamed for thinking for yourself.
This time around, as you have surely noticed, even the voices of good people with good ideas fell silent in fear.This fear must be banished. The blowback against this despotism will come but it is not enough. We need character, integrity, courage, and truth, and this perhaps matters more than ideology and knowledge. Knowledge without the willingness and courage to speak is useless, because (as E.C. Harwood taught us) for integrity there is no substitute.”
This is how the new hypochondriac totalitarianism is enforced, with a legion of armed thugs unleashing terror on those who can’t fight back. Cop worshipers, take note. In the new pandemic police state, the cops will be wearing the same uniform, but it will be a different breed of degenerate within it. We must remain capable of discerning the character of someone, regardless of which side of the badge they are on.
