When I listen to the mainstream media, I notice that when they report deaths with respect to this pandemic, they carefully choose their words. They often say the death toll is (pick a number) with the covid-19 virus. They do not always say from the covid-19 virus. Are they crafting their words to make it look more serious than it is?

This virus is more contagious than the flu. You may die if you get it and develop other illnesses. But I believe the mainstream media and the politicos skew the numbers to make it look more severe than it is and have held us hostage with fear as the motivation. When you are afraid, you give up your rights.

I feel we have been betrayed by the mainstream media and the globalists who I believe control the mainstream media, as well as the politicians who stand to make money and gain power.

Like the flu, this virus will mutate. Flu vaccines are a “best guess” based on what strain of flu will manifest itself. The same thing will happen with covid-19. Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice … that is not going to happen.

This is not about controlling your health, it is about controlling you.
