When I first discovered Red Pill - just over two years ago, I wasn't angry that most of my beliefs about women, love, sexuality and masculinity were wrong. I wasn't angry that the Disney Dream wasn't real. I wasn't angry that I had been fed - and believed - a pack of lies. I wasn't even angry that I hadn't found out these things earlier in my life. I wasn't angry at all. I just felt relief. Relief that finally, I had found the truth. The truth is something I can work with.

There are many parallels to the current coronavirus 'pandemic' and Red Pill truth.

Our Blue Pill conditioned society thrives on fear, on never questioning the established, never questioning the establishment. You follow the herd through the pre-determined systems of school, religion, college, work, marriage, divorce, death and taxes. You do as you're told by your political parties and your religious leaders. You follow your football team as if they were a cult, referring to them as 'we'. You talk about the players as if they were your buddies. You read the mainstream media and believe everything it tells you while the only media you question is anything 'alternative' and you write all that off as conspiracy theories and stuff for TiN fOiL hAt wEaReRs, using random capital letters to emphasise your point. You even believe that The Rock is a muscle bound God because he works hard in the gym, has godlike genetics and can afford the best personal trainers (most of that is true of course, but it's not the full truth).

Why would The Rock lie to you? Why would the media lie to you? Why would your elected leaders lie to you? They are there to protect you and work hard to serve your best interests. So why would they lie?

This post is not about lies - it is about the truth. It is about questioning the very fundamental beliefs and assumptions that has the world in the current state it is in now - bunkered up in our houses, cowering in fear of a deadly virus, washing our hands 70 million times a day until our knuckles are raw, clearing the supermarket shelves of toilet paper, hand sanitizers, food, guns and ammo. Fuck community spirit & neigbourly love - come near my toilet paper and I'll shoot you. How did we get to this state, where a virus makes us afraid to stand closer than 6ft to another human being, let alone shake their hands? A virus that has half of Europe limiting their travel to a 2km radius of their homes and the rest under virtual house arrest? A virus that threatens our very existence and makes us afraid that we are going to die?

Listening to the mainstream media will re-enforce these beliefs and remind you that you are right to be fearful:

Millions could die

This is worse than Pearl Harbour

6 week old baby dies of coronavirus

No-One is Safe

Cornavirus is the now the No.1 killer in the United States

Coronavirus ate my hamster

Fuck - that's scary shit, right? Except the hamster bit. I made that one up.

But our politicians will save us. They are there to protect and serve. And the way we are to do this is to Stay Home, Save Lives. Stay home, save lives. Nothing scary about that. Put the feet up for a few weeks, crack open a beer and wait for it to blow over.

But if you leave your home, could be fined or jailed. Nothing too scary about that, I suppose. Just stay at home. Like Samuel Jackson tells you - "Just stay... the fuck... at home". Well, fuck, I'm not gonna argue with Samuel, am I?

Oh, and just one more thing we need you to do... we'll just need to ask everyone to stop working and earning money for a few months. And while you're busy tring to process what that actually means for you and your future, we'll use this time while you're distracted to tell you the smallprint, which is that we will also need to print off a gazillion dollars to keep things going, which your grandchildren and their children will still be paying for in years to come. Nothing too scary about that either - sure, I don't even know how much a gazillion is anyway. Sounds like they have it all under control.

But what if they are wrong? What if every decision they are now making is based on assumptions that are incorrect and models that are flawed? What if everything we are being told about how to limit the impact of the virus is fundamentally wrong? What if the very principals on which we are acting now are actually causing more harm than good?

What if we are living our current reality as if it were a Blue Pill dream, when instead we should be facing it as Red Pill Men should - with open eyes and ears and an unquenchable thirst for the truth?

What if?

The truth is a dirty little secret. It's not found in the mainstream media. It's not preached to you from the sermon. And it doesn't come to you in press conferences from The White House. It's not found in the console of your Blue Pill friends. It's found in weird little sub reddits, comes at you from odd looking blogs and in strange sounding books written by people who won't even use their real names. Sound familiar?

Since the outbreak of coronavirus in Ireland, I've had a bad feeling in my gut that I've been unable to shake. Since then, I've avidly read everything I have had time to read from mainstream media to alternative media. I've had online discussions with friends, relatives and on r/coronavirus (which I now recognise is the cornavirus equivalent of r/deadbedrooms ). None of these discussions got me anywhere. They all think I'm obsesessed and deluded. After all, I'm not an expert. I'm not a scientist or epidemoloigst. I have trouble understanding data, graphs and medical terminology. I don't know what an 'R' axis does. I didn't even know what 'pandemic' meant a few months ago. I still don't. Not really.

But I trust my gut. And my gut tells me that something is not quite right about this. I have given up trying discuss this with people I know. The only one who has shown any faith in me on this so far is my wife, who told me back in February that we had been infected with Covid-19. I didn't believe her. I should have listened to her and I should have had more trust in my first officer. Lesson learned.

I'm not saying that this is the absolute truth - this is my opinion of it and I am wide open to being critiqued and criticised on this and I'm completely open to having my mind changed and -if needs be, admit that I am wrong. I see no shame in that. I'd rather know that I am running a fool's errand and am being a complete retard than mistakenly believe that I am right. So treat this as my OYS on Coronavirus.

It is my belief that the basic fundamental principles and assumptions that have influenced our world leaders to make the decisions that now shape our current - if albeit temporary reality - are incorrect.

Here is something you should find very interesting. On March 24th, a study was produced at the University of Oxford which works on the assumption that the ongoing epidemics in the UK and Italy started at least a month before their first reported deaths and that this had already led to the accumulation of significant levels of herd immunity in both countries.

This makes perfect sense. In January, 7 million people left Wuhan before Wuhan was quarantined and travel was restricted. Thousands of them flew internationally before any restrictions on international travel were imposed and thousands of people from all nationalities across the globe flew in and out of China before these international travel restrictions and domestic lockdown measures were introduced across most countries in the world.

There is no fucking way that Coronavirus was not in effect globally in the general population as early as mid - late January. It is just not possible.

The fact that it was not noticed is unsurprising as a). nobody was looking for it b). there were no tests in place for it, c). half the people who get it are asymptomatic and d). the rest who developed symptoms would have presumed that they either had a mild cold or a bad dose of the flu / gastro flu. As did I in mid February, when I was knocked out for 3 weeks after contracting 'the flu'. But I had been vaccinated in November, so how could this have happened? I am susceptable to geting the flu - so much so, that for the last few years, I gat an annual vaccination. Since then, zero flu. Until this year. When I questioned my doctor about this, she told me that there was a particularly nasty strain of flu going around that wasn't covered by the vaccine I had received.

Yeah, no shit - was it was called Covid-19?

A week prior to getting the 'flu', a friend of mine had visited me from London. He had - in his words - 'a bit of a cold' that he'd picked up while he was travelling. In fact, most of his co-workers also had been hit with a cold or the flu and he was complaining that - with staff shortages - there was a possibility of missing an important deadline that his clients were expecting him to meet. Two weeks prior to his visit, he had flown across the world to meet with them to agree the terms and conditions of the deal. The meeting was held in January. In Bejing.

But surely if the virus was actually in Europe as early as January, we would have noticed the deaths caused by it? Well, not if the deaths were put down to pnuemonia or respiratory disease. As this is a virus that predominantly kills the old, sick and obese, it would be most deadly in places like nursing homes and end-of -life homes where deaths from pnuemonia and respiratory diseases are commonplace, especially during flu season. They would have not appeared as odd. Also, when deaths occur in nursing homes, autopsies are rarely carried out. Either way, there was still no testing being done for coronavirus.

But, like I said - all I had was a gut feeling and a lot of unanswered questions. Questions like this:

If Ireland began lockdown measures on March 13th, how come the infection and mortality rates were still going up weeks later? Was it because the lockdowns weren't being policed stringently enough?

But Spain and Italy were policing them stringently. They were locking up offenders. People were afraid to break the quarantine. Yet they had a worse problem than anyone else did? Why was that?

Then there is Sweden - the basket case of Europe. They didn't close down anything apart from the universities. The government advised the over 70s to self isolate and advised people - who could - to work from home. Not told, mind, just advised - after all, "you're all adults, you have the information on the virus - you can make your own decisions", was their government's mantra. That's it. Schools, childcare, bars, retail, public buildings, public spaces all remain open. For all intents and purposes, life is carrying on as normal in Sweden while the rest of the world waits for the zombie apocalypse.

"Fucking idiots, they're all going to die". That's what r/Coronavirus said when I posted about it a week or two ago. "They are fucked".

Turns out they aren't. How the fuck did that happen? Are they so gentically blessed that - not only are they fucking ridiculously good looking - but are also immune to the same effects as the rest of us ugly fuckers are?

The study by University of Oxford has both reinforced my gut feelings and answered a lot of questions that I previously had no answers for. The study uses a different modelling than that used by the Imperial College London. The Imperial College study influenced the UK government enough to make them backtrack on their original proposed herd immunity approach. But the Imperial College's modelling has since been proven to have dramatically overestimated both the number of deaths and the possible overload to the British Health Care system. They have reduced their predictions a number of times already - as have The University of Washington in the USA, who used similar assumptions and modelling to those used by the Imperial College. In other words, they fucked up and backpeddled faster than the Italian army during World War II.

The study produced by the University of Oxford states some very interesting points:

They place the start of transmission at 4 days prior to first case detection and 38 days before the first confirmed death. Which - as I mentioned earlier is very fucking likely. This date - and the models used to work out how wide the virus spreads - suggests that 68% of the UK and Italy would have been infected by 19/03/2020. If you're American and don't know how to read a calender properly, that's the 19th of March, 2020 - six days before the UK began lockdown, 13 days after Italy began theirs.

The paper also states that

'There is an inverse relationship between the proportion currently immune and the fraction of the population vulnerable to severe disease'

and;

that their 'overall approach rests on the assumption that only a very small proportion of the population is at risk of hospitalisable illness.'

In that case, herd immunity - by letting the virus take it's course - would have led to a smaller number of deaths and less overload to the health care system than social distancing would.

It's no surprise that the University of Oxford were told to bury this paper. Some of the team that worked on the paper have been outspoken about it, but none of the mainstream media will go near them with a barge pole. To date, the paper has not been published or peer reviewed and most likely never will be. Not because it was produced by a team of tin foil hat conspiracy quacks (they all appear to be well respected, experienced and - in some cases, award winning - experts in their fields) but it is because this paper challenges the very fundamentals on which all world leaders have made their decision to lock down their countries.

If the Oxford team are correct - and personally, I have very little doubt that they are - then the lockdowns have had the opposite effect of what they were intended to achieve - to save lives and prevent overloading the healthcare systems. By cutting off a herd immunity process that was already in operation, they put a stop to the process and - if there is an inverse relationship between the proportion currently immune and the fraction of the population vulnerable to severe disease - then the number of people vunerable to severe disease has increased as a direct result of social distancing measures. And because of that, it follows that the numbers of critically affected people in hospitals has risen by more than it could have if the virus had been left unchecked.

This would explain how - despite extremely stringent lockdown measures in Italy and Spain - the death rates soared in these countries in the weeks following the introduction of the lockdowns. People were isolated in small groups which allowed the virus to become much more effective. This was compounded even further due to the demographics in both these countries – it is very common for people to live with their parents up until they get married and leave home and it's also common for young married couples to share households with their parents and - in some cases, parents and grandparents. So you have a large number of young healthy adults - who very likely had corona with either no symtoms or mild symptoms - living with their aging & elderly parents. It was akin to putting healthy cells and weak cells into a petri dish along with a virus that kills the weak and expecting the weak cells not to die. It was a disaster waiting to happen.

It also explains why, in Sweden – a country that has basically no social distancing measures – the death rate has not soared. Risen, yes. Soared, no. Here, the full effects of herd immunity are being allowed to take place. In particular, they didn’t close either the schools or childcare. The rest of Europe did – which culled the strongest part of the herd - children, who are basically immune to it. The Swedidh death rate now stands at 1.5 the mortatlity rate of Ireland. Their curve is now flattening faster than ours despite having done virtually nothing. In a population of 10 million people, 79 have died. Most people saw their approach as a massive gamble. If it’s a numbers game, then their gamble has paid off 126,500 to 1.

No doubt, governments across the world will tell us that they have done the right thing. In Europe, we are starting to see peak infection rates being hit and starting decline. Surely, this is proof that social distancing works. Well, yes it does prove that social distancing works but it doesn't take a genius to work out that if you separate people into small groups, then it's pretty hard for them to pass a virus on to the other small groups.

But it's missing the bigger picture in that - while we are being told to stay home and save lives - staying home is most likely killing more people than it saves.

It is also ignoring the elephant in the room which is what they call the 'second wave'. As we begin to relax social distancing measures in the coming weeks and months, we're going to see the effects of the virus kick in again. Governments are now looking at very costly ways to try to minimise the wave with widespread testing and tracing. But it's not so much a second wave as a delayed effect on the first wave. They should have just left the first wave the fuck alone.

As the University of Oxford paper states -

Our simulations are in agreement with other studies that the current epidemic wave in the UK and Italy in the absence of interventions should have an approximate duration of 2-3 months

See? Leave it the fuck alone - and not only would less people need hospitalisation and less people would die - the fucking thing would be over in 8 to 12 weeks. And all that without having to shut down the country, without having to bankrupt the economy, without creating mass unemployment, widespread fear, panic buying, civil unrest and basically fucking up the whole summer for everybody. I was due to go to a festival in July, take copious amounts of drugs, have sex in tents with random strangers and dance my fucking bollox off. Fuck this shit - I want to enjoy my life.

Now - due to the current social distrancing measures in place, this 2-3 month period is likely to run on for much longer than that. So, not only have the current policies led to more deaths than it should have, it's now going to drag it on even longer than it should have and bring with it all the ramifications that has for our economies, societies, and our way of life.

We are hiding from an enemy that experts don't seem to want to understand the nature of and have gravely misjudged and because of that, have based their decisions on fear. But our very fear gives it it's strength. The same type of fear that gives our Blue Pill conditioned society so much strength- the more we fear the truth, the more we hide from reality, and the more we hide from reality, the stronger lie becomes. The experts are like noobs who - when they discover the truth - decide that their current reality is better, delete their account and go back to their shitty but established ways of thinking.

This is a disease of the weak - the sick, the obese, the aging and the dying. It is not the killer we were told it was going to be - not by any stroke of the imagination. In a world with a population of 7.53 billion, 93,596 people have died. The death toll will continue for some time but it won't be catastrophic and it could have been lessened and this could have been over quicker if our leaders had made the right decisions. They didn't. They were using the wrong data, listening to the wrong experts, they drew the wrong conclusions, they were scaremongered by the media and they made a bad decision. That was silly of them. Then - when presented with the truth - they decided to bury it. That was unforgivable.

The only ones who have kept a level head are the Swedes. Those incredibly good looking motherfuckers were not phased and they didn't panic. They took all the data on board, looked at it and made a decision - a decision which they believed would be in the best interest of their people, their economy and their way of life. They prepared for the worst by gearing up to provide additional army field hospital bed spaces in case they were needed. They have also enacted legislation that will allow them to close bars, restaurants and retail if they have the need to. After all, if you fail to prepare, prepare to fail.

Then - after they had made their decision - they let the people know what the outcome might be. They spoke to them like adults. They told them that some people would die. They informed them about the dangers of the virus and then let them make their own decisions - stay at home and self isolate if you want to or carry on with your life if you think that is the best thing for you. They - like all good leaders do - empowered the people who they serve and look to for leadership. Just as we do with those who follow our lead.

While people around the world hide in their homes, because their politicians and media have told them that the sky is falling in on them, the Swedes have stood firm. Those fuckers have frame.

There is a lot we can learn from this.

Stay informed, save lives.
