The Highwire with Del Bigtree - MAINSTREAM’S COVID NARRATIVE COMES CRASHING DOWN

Episode Date: January 21, 2022

The Mainstream narrative on Covid, propped up by legacy media and captured public health agencies, has come crashing down around even the most passionate lockdown and mandate enthusiasts who have been forced to turn tail and embrace tenets of the once castigated Great Barrington Declaration.#CovidNarrativeCollapse #MSM #OmicronVariant #GBDBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-highwire-with-del-bigtree--3620606/support.

Let's look at another narrative that has really become crashing down. It's over the past couple of weeks. Now, last week we covered Fauci, kind of admitting, oh, whoopsie, we kind of already knew that kids going into the hospital were getting tested at the door. If they came with a broken leg or a car accident, we were adding those COVID tests when they tested positive to the full totals. And then the media ran without to scare people and saying hospitalizations for kids are surging.

Well, we have the governor of New York. He was basically saying it's not really surging. you know, there's other co-borbit issues or other issues. Car accidents, broken legs, just because they tested positive means they're in the hospital with COVID. They're not there for COVID. Something we have literally been arguing since the beginning of this, they've contaminated their own numbers, and now they're backing away from it, as we pointed out next week.

So is there more of that going on? You bet. It's no longer misinformation. Now we have the first governor who's actually going to start posting those numbers. Hopefully all the other governors in the United States will really follow suit here. Kathy Hockel out of New York. This is her at one of her recent press conferences talking about what they're going to do. Take a listen. I always ask this question. This has troubled me. What do those numbers actually mean? I'm very inquisitive and I have a sharp team that answers my questions.

Who is being admitted for COVID purposes that they're sick enough to have to be hospitalized for COVID? It's that severe versus people who present themselves to a hospital are automatically tested as a matter of routine now, which is good. They're tested positive for COVID, but they're in there for other reasons. Think of all the other reasons people end up in a hospital. You know, it's an overdose. It's a car accident. It's a heart attack. So I wanted to drill down into those numbers. I told you that on Monday. I would be looking at that. And literally the numbers are early because I wanted to get the information out as soon as we got it. And I have two days metric right now. And looking at just on the 4th of January,

We realize that 39% of the people are hospitalized with non-COVID related reasons. And checking in yesterday's number, that number was actually 42%. Now, that is our statewide average. Oh, my God, Jeffrey. I mean, this is the whole point from the moment they manipulated the death certificate to say it doesn't matter why they were in there. If they had COVID, you make it a COVID death. They contaminated their own numbers.

And now they're back away from it. You know what, Jeffrey? every once in a while, not to let my ego get too big because we're all a part of this. Jeffrey, you are, my entire team sitting back there, but I think it's time for a bit of it,

and I told you so, because I told them so. I told everybody in the government so. I told you we're going to do this. What do I mean? Take a look at what I said way back when. Mark my words, right now.

Let me put this on camera in video. It's about to come out of my mouth and it's about to go on a video camera. I want to be able to reference the fact that I said this on this day right now. You will hear Deborah Birx and Anthony Fauci one day say, well, look, we can't call us all coronavirus deaths because there was comorbidities. They had other life-threatening illnesses they died from, and it was just listed as coronavirus. They died with coronavirus, but not from coronavirus.

You're like, Dell, they will never say that. You want to bet? Here's why they're going to say it. America is still going like this. we are looking at having the worst death rate in the entire world. New York is one of the most deadly cities in the world. It failed harder than almost anywhere else in the world, which means someone's going to say, well, who is in charge?

Why did America have such a high death rate if Anthony Fauci and Deborah Birx knew what they were doing? Especially since America was like one of the last ones to be hit by coronavirus. They had all that time to know what they needed to do, yet their death rate is through the roof. Well, I assure you that will not bode well at that moment. And when they start getting heat with, why did you do such a bad job, they will tell you, we didn't.

The numbers are bloated. Literally what's happening, right? They're telling us now the numbers are bloated. Don't take them seriously. As she said, a lot of those are car accidents and heart attacks. And she went on and I'll probably say cancer and every other comorbidity we've been talking about since the beginning. I wasn't sure.

I mean, to be honest, Jeffrey, I think I said a couple weeks ago, there may be one prediction I got wrong. I'm not sure they're ever going to admit that they've loaded the numbers, but here we are. Here we are, indeed. And it's not just in New York. So we have other headlines that since we're waiting for the governor to release the numbers, we have to look at the headlines here.

So this is in California, head of COVID response for UCSF's ER department. I've not intubated a single COVID patient during the Omicron surge. Well, that's great. But let's look in the article here. After reviewing the charts of every COVID patient at UCSF hospital on January 4th, Dr. Gene Noble, an associate professor of emergency medicine at UCSF, UCSF, determined that 70% of them were in the hospital for other reasons. Forcing her to say, quote, the real COVID crisis that our hospitals are facing is a severe staffing shortage that is compromising the quality of care.

So 70%. Now, let's go back to the New York numbers chart that Governor Hoke will put out in New York on her. her website, the governor's website. And you have here the percentage top right highlighted, percentage admitted where COVID was not included as one of the reasons for admission, basically meaning they weren't in there for COVID all the way at the bottom, statewide, 43%. She said 42, now we're going up. This is the latest numbers. 43% of the people aren't in there for COVID. Now let's look at New Jersey hospitals right across the road there. New Jersey COVID hospitalizations to pass 6,000 for the first time.

since April 2020. Well, that sounds like a terrifying headline until you read the article. And it says here in the article, many hospitalized patients who have COVID were admitted to the hospital because of other medical conditions of the 6,075 currently hospitalized with COVID. 2,963 of them, about 49% are hospitalized primarily because of the COVID diagnosis. The rest were hospitalized for other reasons and then tested positive for COVID in the hospital. Delt, I think it's important here to bring three founding, I guess we want to call them founding mothers and fathers of medicine, as they'll try to be called now, J. Badacharya, Stenitra Gupta, Dr. Martin Koldorf. And who are these people? They are the creators of the Great Barrington Declaration. And it seems like we're

really moving towards a Great Barrington Declaration future at this point or a present in admitting this. And what was that? Let's remind people what that is. Let's take some of the the quotes from there. The Great Bering Declaration, it says, those who are not vulnerable should immediately be allowed to resume life as normal. Simple hygiene measures such as hand washing and staying home when sick should be practiced by everyone to reduce the herd immunity threshold. Now, again, this was written before the vaccine. This was written as the lockdowns were just coming in in 2020. It says schools and universities should be open for in-person teaching. Extracurricular activities such as sports should be resumed.

Young, low-risk adults should work normally rather than from home. Restaurants and other businesses should open arts, music, sport, and other cultural activities should resume. People who are at more risk may participate if they wish while society as a whole enjoys the protection conferred upon the vulnerable by those who have built up herd immunity. And finally, it says adopting measures to protect the vulnerable should be the central aim of public health response to COVID-19. Now, the Great Barrington...

Yeah. I mean, and just a way in here, this really has been the philosophy we've had from the beginning. It was clearly stated we have celebrated the Great Barrington Declaration. I think many of those 916,000 signatures were inspired as we got behind this and told the doctors and scientists around the world that we know, knew to get involved. And so you had that policy. It's what I have said that I believe they were right. We should protect. We've never said just everybody just let it go. We said we should do what we've always done.

which is really protective. You're going to call it lockdowns. Lockdown the elderly with other comorbidities, which is really the conversation, take care of those that are vulnerable, while the rest of us that have helped the immune systems, this is a very low death rate, we need to, you know, we need to handle this.

And so, you know, that's where they were at. I mean, and it seemed to make so much sense. I just read Scott Atlas's book. He was, of course, talking to these folks, trying to get Deborah Birx and those inside of the White House to move towards this plan, but nobody seemed to want to do it. right? Right. And why didn't they want to do that? Let's let's really correct the historical record here.

So let's talk about Francis Collins. He's now the former director of the National Institutes of Health. And he was in the headlines recently, and it was pretty ugly for America and for the rest of the world. This is what the headlines look like. This was the takedown. Emails show how Fauci and head of NIH worked to discredit three experts who penned the Great Barrington Declaration, which called for an end to lockdowns. Now, this was an internal email that was released publicly by some politicians here in the U.S. And this is what it read. This was from October 8th, 2020. Hi, Tony and Cliff.

Now, Clifford Lane, they're talking about. He's the NIAID Deputy Director of Clinical Research. It says, see great barrington declaration.org. This proposal from three fringe epidemiologists who met with the secretary seems to be getting a lot of attention. and even a co-signature from Nobel Prize winner Mike Levitt at Stanford. There needs to be a quick and devastating published takedown of its premises. I don't see anything like that online yet. Is it underway, Francis?

I mean, just hold that up. He admits a Nobel Prize winner, Mike Leavitt at Stanford has signed on. And instead of doing what everyone in the world thinks happens, which is when you're in the middle of a crisis, in the middle of a pandemic, if you will, all of the heads of science get together and say, hey, what's your thought? What's your thought? Let's bring it all and let's put it all on the table, work through it. Instead, they don't invite them in. They don't say, hey, these are not just, you know, fringe scientists. We're talking Oxford, Harvard, Stanford. These guys are the top, you know, of their class, as you will. They put together this entire document. And instead of inviting them in, as the United States of America should have, and our NIH has said, hey, let's talk to these guys. We've got Nobel laureates that are agreeing with them, they said, wash this, shut this, you shut this down now, proving we had a health department that had an agenda not based on having a conversation or open debate or, you know, the scientific method, which is challenge all thoughts. Let's put it on the table,

challenge the lockdowns, let's see if they hold up against scientists that disagree. Instead, we were never going to listen to it. That's incredible. Right. And so then, the reason we're bringing this up partly is then they were attacking the points of the Great Barrington Declaration, presumably because they wanted to maintain an illusion of scientific consensus. Now there's a different tune that's being played. Take a look at what it looks like in the news. We have to learn to live with COVID. What needs to happen is we need to learn to live with COVID. Look, we've got to learn to live with COVID. We know what it is. We know what we've got to do. I think this is a time where we're going to have to learn how to

coexist with this milder version of COVID. I think what we have to do is learn to live with the virus. This is going to become an endemic virus. It's going to circulate every year. It's probably going to be a winter pathogen as coronaviruses are. This is going to become like a second circulating flu. Do we as New Yorkers have to get used to the idea we all may get this? You know, I cannot have said it better.

Most people are going to get COVID. All right. And what we need to do is make sure the hospitals can still function, transportation, you know, other essential services are not disrupted while this happens. When is the government going to accept that learning to live with COVID, which we all have to do, means we cannot respond to new variants by stopping and starting sectors of our economy, which leads to businesses going under and jobs being lost. We can't continue to shut the government down.

We can't continue to put pressure on our tight labor market by forcing people to be valid. We have to learn to live with COVID like we do with the flu. And I would say the new Omicron variant is now somewhere between, in its lethality, less than flu, but more than the common cold. How do we stop going from surge after surge, emergency to emergency, and figure out how to live with a virus that's going to be around for the rest of our lives? You know, I suppose all these people might have spoke to you. up that way had Francis Collins not shut down those of the Great Barrington Declaration that

were trying to stalk to the White House. Maybe have we had this dialogue, all the other scientists around the world like we're hearing from now, and it said, you know what, it's a really good point. You can't hide from a virus. The mask isn't going to work. It's going to eventually find its way. Even if you vaccinate, we try to vaccinate everybody, maybe we should listen to Geert Van and Bosch is saying the virus is just going to find a way around. I mean, had we had intelligent dialogue, maybe we wouldn't have had to destroy the world, our economy, lie, you know school children I mean it's it's outraged and here we are full circle
