The Highwire with Del Bigtree - MASKS, VACCINES, LOCKDOWNS: THEY WERE WRONG ABOUT IT ALL

Episode Date: December 7, 2023

In response to an EU investigation, The European Medicines Agency has admitted that COVID-19 vaccines were never authorized to stop transmission. Meanwhile, new studies show a link between masking and getting COVID-19 infections and adherence to lockdowns and an increase in mental health issues.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-highwire-with-del-bigtree--3620606/support.

We've been front-running this investigative pulse of the scientific and medical realities over the last three years. Yeah. Specifically on government orders concerning lockdowns, masking, school closures, vaccines. They're supposed to stop transmission, reach herd immunity. Well, it's a rare week when government agencies and scientific journals and corporate media all come together at once and say, hey, you were right. So let's check this out because we're getting tired of saying we were right. Right, but it's all happening right now. So let's go to The Guardian.

Let's take a look at lockdown. All right. People who stuck by UK COVID rules have worst mental health, says survey. Trauma pandemic having lasting impact on people's mental health three years on, research reveals. Let's go into the article and see what it has to say. It talks to the article's lead, the study's lead author. It says, the more individuals comply with health advice during lockdown, the worse their well-being. Post-lockdown concluded Dr. Marley Willigers and colleagues.

In this study they did, he says this, they identified that people with communal personalities who are more caring, sensitive, and aware of others' needs adhered the most rigorously with the lockdown protocols that Boris Johnson and senior medics and scientists recommended. However, people with agentic personalities who are more independent, more competitive, and like to have control over their lives were least likely to exhibit those behaviors. Communal types displayed the highest levels of continuing disturbance to their mental well-being. people have been able to bounce back better from lockdown mode. I mean, it kind of is basically just saying that sheep haven't done so well and the lions are

doing just fine. Right. So forget about build back better. It's about bouncing back better. And how do you do that? I love that. Well, be independent, question your government, take control over your own health and your own lives. And that's science. So now let's move to Don't fuel your inner OCD. Don't fuel, you know, your fear of crowds and people around you. As it turns out, that just doesn't lead to good future mental health. There's a newsflash. Right.

And so let's talk about masks for a second. We've exhaustively covered this. We were told, put your mask on. It's going to help with community transmission. It's going to keep you from getting less symptoms, less COVID infections. Well, here's another study. This was out of Norway. And this is the headline.

Association between face mass use and risk of SARS-CoB2 infection. Pretty simple. They looked at over 3,200 people, and they concluded this. We found that the incidence of self-reported COVID-19 was 33% higher in those wearing face masks often or sometimes, and 40% higher in those wearing face masks almost always or always compared to participants who reported wearing face masks never or almost never. So we're done. Masks are over.

There is. I don't care what's coming from China. It's over. You're not going to get people to put these masks back on. I saw a mask in the airport this week, and I really wanted to just, I want a little car just to hand him that study, just say, just so you know. Yeah, so let's talk about school closures. This, shockingly, is the New York Times.

Here's the headline here. The startling, startling evidence on learning loss is in. And this isn't some rogue reporter at the Times. This is the New York Times editorial board. The Brain Trust all got together and said, this is an important, startling piece of evidence we just found. Let's look at what it says in there. It says the evidence is now in and it's startling.

The school closures that took 50 million children out of classrooms at the start of the pandemic may prove to be the most damaging disruption in the history of American education. Well, if you're reading that and you're a New York Times reader, you may say, well, that's revelatory. I haven't seen that from the Times because I'm used to hearing the Times say this in 2021. One, parents stop talking about the lost year. Teenagers and tweens will be fine. Experts say if adults model resilience. Now was after a year of keeping kids out of school.

Parents were trying to get these kids back in school saying, look, suicide rates are up. Mental health is going down. Our kids are we're missing valuable learning. Our whole lost year, what are we going to do? Hey, New York Times says, stop talking about it. It'll be fine. And now they're saying this was the worst disaster in the history of education.

Amazing. But fittingly enough, the New York. Post, who's been doing some great writing and investigation over the last three years on this, had a little dig at the New York Times. So this is their headline. This is by the Post editorial board. The New York Times discovers school lockdowns and learning loss three years late. And pretty great article if you want to go check it out. But just to remember, just to put a little asterisk here, not just move through this fast, parents wanted kids back in school so bad. parents wanted they were sounding the alarm they're going to the school boards raising you know what

at these school boards this was the headline they were called domestic terrorists white house aided school board groups domestic terrorist letter before garland sick FBI on parents that's a national school board association so the white house white house aided that ns b a call to label them domestic terrorist that's if they were to do that they can use the patriot act on them that's how far we fell during this pandemic. So let's move that out of the way. Let's go to vaccines really quick. Remember, supposed to stop transmission, herd immunity. Well, eight more members of the European Parliament have sent another letter to the European Medicines Agency. The EMA is very similar to the CDC. It's kind of like a mixture between the CDC and the FDA here in the United States,

but they're responsible for authorizing these vaccines in Europe. And they wrote to them and said, we have questions about your authorization. You authorized it, but it's not. It's not a not stopping transmission, it's not doing these things. What do you have to say about that? Well, this is what they wrote back to these members of Parliament. They said this. You state that based on the authorized indications, the vaccines should only be administered to individuals who seek personal protection, and they are not authorized for the purpose of reducing transmission or infection rates, transmission control. You also stated that the authorized indication does not align with uses promoted by pharmaceutical companies, politicians, and health professionals.

And say this, you indeed are correct to point out that COVID-19 vaccines have not been authorized for preventing transmission from one person to another. Indications are for protecting the vaccinated individuals only. Think about this. I mean, you want to talk about a smoking, there it is. I mean, that is the greatest admission of propaganda use on people. The entire thing, get the vaccine to protect your neighbor and protect everyone around you. Stop transmission. It stops with you, Rachel Maddo said.

So to Tony Fauci and Joe Biden. And now when you look in Europe, they're saying, hey, when we asked about it, when you signed this contract, you know, were we promised it would stop transmission? No, nothing to sort. No, we never agreed. We never believed it would stop transmission. I mean, it's unreal. We now know, I mean, this takes it another step, right? We know because of the interview done of Janine Smalley, who stood up there representing Pfizer when asked, you know, did you test to see it would stop transmission?

She says, no, of course not. We were moving at the speed of science. So now you know they didn't test for it. But even more outrageous is the government body that funded and paid for this. And the health agency knew it didn't stop transmission, even though they were telling everyone in the country on every news station that it stops transmission. Admitting now, yeah, we were lying.

You got us. What are you going to do about it? Exactly. So here we are. Government science communicators have a big problem on their hands because they just lived through this and they were wrong on almost every front and they mandated a lot of this on almost every front. So what are they going to do? Are they just going to go back to normal? Well, let's hear from W.E.F. Agenda contributor, Maria Leptin. Who is Maria Lepton? She's the president of the European Research Council. This was set up by the entire European Union to be the premier European funding organization for research. So kind of a big deal when she talks. Listen to what she has to say about the future of science communication.

Two of the countries which were most successful in getting good coverage of vaccination based this not at all on getting their citizens to try and understand the signs. One is Bhutan, where they were very successful in preparing a campaign and involved. They were sensitive to the country's needs, to the citizen's needs, involved in informing the religious establishment and, in fact using them, in finding the right time and date. And they got fantastic coverage. No signs was explained.

The other example I know of is Portugal, where the campaign was handed to a retired Army General. And the Army General just treated the country as his troops, and he rallied the troops. He declared it as a war that the country, in patriotic passion, was going to fight together. And they had up there. I think they were leading in Europe, if not the world.

So, no science. That is really amazing. It reminds me of that saying, never let a fact get in the way of a good story, never let science get in the way of a propaganda machine and an attempt to forcibly vaccinate everyone in the world. She's at the World Economic Forum, obviously, probably got a standing ovation there by all of those that are trying to sell, you know, our sovereignty away.

What an amazing statement, though, right? Stop talking to people. they're intelligent, treat them like they're idiots, go into their churches and just tell them God wants them to do this or that they're at a war with nature and they need to do their part. So there you have it, folks. There's the game plan. Next time this comes around, less and less science is their answer. And guess who will not be following that decree? Where you will always find the science here on the high wire.
