Above all: Corona orthodoxy is not a serious belief system that anybody in power subscribes to. It is a set of thinly realised doctrines about Science & disease sold by the press to subject populations. The people in charge don‘t believe any of this. These beliefs are for us.https://twitter.com/eugyppius1/status/1381968511522664449 …

Because Corona orthodoxy is a tool of power, anyone in proximity to western lockdown regimes professes faith in Corona doctrines. Dissenters are found among retired scholars, dissident & disagreeable intellectuals — all the people who do not currently have a share in power.

Likewise, before Corona orthodoxy became central to the exercise of political power in the west, nobody anywhere in the scientific establishment advocated for lockdowns or mass containment to suppress a widespread respiratory virus.

This explains the great reversal in ‚scientific‘ opinion that happened in late March/April 2020. Mass containment was becoming a useful political doctrine at this time, and many ambitious ‚scientists‘ began singing the tune demanded of them.

eugyppius Retweeted Corona Realism 🟢
As late as March 2020, key NoCovid superstar virologist Melanie Brinkmann (close advisor to Merkel gvt and pervasive presence on German tv) were advocating a mild, mitigationist approach to Corona, entirely in line with things like the Great Barrington Declaration.https://twitter.com/holmenkollin/status/1381610268069871620 …

Corona Realism 🟢 @holmenkollinDie Herpes-Biologin und vermeintliche „Expertin“@BrinkmannLab saß monatelang spröde in Talkshows herum und stammelte triviale Phrasen herunter. Nun steht sie an der Spitze des Erlösungskults „#Nocovid“, der für „frühes, hartes Eingreifen“ und „Pandemiekontrolle“ wirbt

You think Brinkmann changed her mind because new research suddenly accumulated within the space of a few weeks in April of last year? Nothing could be more implausible. Only political winds shift that suddenly.

The same thing happened with Fauci. He changed his tune on expected mortality within the space of 12 days. 28 Feb 2020 - "Severe seasonal influenza" (par. 3) https://web.archive.org/web/20200229021836/https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/nejme2002387 … 11 March 2020 - "Ten times more lethal than seasonal flu" https://www.c-span.org/video/?470224-1/dr-fauci-warns-congress-coronavirus-outbreak-worse …pic.twitter.com/8FixEp2U6j

Through mid- late Feb. medical bureaucrats everywhere were hyping the flu comparison. The joke is, they didn’t have good empirical grounds for that analogy either. They thought a minimal mitigation approach would be the preferred policy and characterised the risk accordingly
