It seems that social distancing and masks are the best we can do right now to stave off the horrible menace of the Corona Virus, often interchangeably used with “Covid 19,” until we are told, a vaccine can be discovered.   With this as the new precedent, please prepare yourself to be behind a mask for the remainder of your days. 

Not trying to scare you or anything, but new viruses spring up just about every year and Coronavirus is basically a souped-up relative of the common cold which has essentially been with us from the start.  If you think I’m full of it, just look briefly into our past –  SARS (2003), H1N1, or Swine Flu (2009), MERS (2013) and you will unfortunately see our future if we, like sheep, fall into lockstep with this new social distancing/mask requirement narrative.   

As the Merriam Webster dictionary has defined, Coronavirus – any of a family (Coronaviridae) of large single-stranded RNA viruses that have a lipid envelope studded with club-shaped spike proteins, infect birds and many mammals including humans, and include the causative agents of MERS, SARS, and COVID-19, – Coronaviruses can cause a variety of illnesses in animals, but in people coronaviruses cause one-third of common colds and sometimes respiratory infections in premature infants.

Anyway, now that we have that out of the way, lets discuss why we are making such a deadly mistake taking this virus on with masks and social distancing. 

How often have we been told that White European explorers from the earliest settlement days were largely responsible for the extinction of many native Americans when we migrated here from Europe.  Even though many Native Americans endured this experience and are survived today by their descendants, we are routinely reminded of this atrocity that was committed by our European forefathers. 

Most of the same doctors and scientists who are jumping on the social distancing band wagon today would agree that the Native Americans of those days were ill-prepared for the diseases of Europe, and thus, that is why many of them died.  However, their descendants today, no longer worry about those same diseases because they have built up an immunity response.  So why are they trying to herd us into the same fatal direction now?

Like the Native Americans who were literally separated by the Atlantic Ocean and socially distant from their European visitors, we will become, unless we allow ourselves to to gain the upper hand through what is commonly referred to as “herd immunity.”   We should particularly be interested in this type of immunity with Covid-19 because of it’s relative low fatality rate of less than 1% that is confined mostly to our oldest and most  vulnerable citizens. 

Thus, to isolate 100% of the population when less than 1% of the population is at risk is really irrational.  With these type of viruses, you may be able to “flatten the curve,” but all you really are doing is lengthening the curve, or pushing the inevitable “burn through” out further and further, and subsequently jeopardizing your most vulnerable population longer.  

As you will hear in the attached video, the longer we isolate from one another, the weaker our immune systems become and the more vulnerable we become in the future.  I am not making this stuff up, it is fact, as described not only by this guy, but many other prominent epidemiologist throughout the world.   

So while we maybe protecting ourselves in the short term, we are ultimately setting ourselves up for the probability of an Native American-like extinction down the road for ourselves, or our children.  Why?  Because we no longer possess a progressively stronger and acceptable immune response to weaker viruses like Covid, we will be even less likely to fend off some future more deadly coronavirus.  Not conspiracy theory here, but epidemiological fact.  

I’ll end with this, and give Dr Scott Atlas the final word from an August 3rd Daily Caller Interview, “Dr. Scott Atlas, former chief of neuroradiology at Stanford University Medical Center and a senior fellow at Stanford’s Hoover Institution, has argued for a different approach, protecting the higher-risk populations and allowing the virus to burn through people to whom it poses less of a risk.” (Scott Moorefield, Aug 3, 2020, Daily Caller)

He further explained on Fox News, The Story, “I think there is a huge disconnect here in what the goal of public policy is here,” Atlas told guest-anchor Sandra Smith during a conversation about protective measures for college students. “The goal of stopping COVID-19 cases is not the appropriate goal. The goal is simply twofold, to protect the people who are going to have a serious problem or die, that’s the high-risk population, and to stop hospital overcrowding. There should never be and there is no goal to stop college students from getting an infection they have no problem with.”

Hope this makes some sense to you and you pass the message along!
