Vincent, thanks for an interesting read. I appreciate getting an insider's perspective to compare to what we read in the news. However, as a physician, I have to take exception to some of your views on the virus and the vaccine.

First of all, association does not prove causation. A low infection fatality rate in the setting of a "circuit-breaker" doesn't prove the "circuit-breaker" lowered death rates. It also ignores deaths due to non-viral causes but perhaps related to the "circuit-breaker": suicide, avoidance of medical care or screening due to fear, domestic violence, alcoholism, drug abuse (not to say that these occur in Singapore, but all are potential reactions to being shut-in for all but essential services).

The "news" that a virus can mutate is not news at all. Viruses evolve, or mutate, routinely. The most infectious mutation will become dominant, and it is most often the least deadly. If a virus infects a person and they die immediately, that virus will not be passed on. A virus that renders someone so ill they cannot leave their home will similarly die out, while a mutation that doesn't make a person too ill, such that they can leave their home and cough and sneeze on others, will quickly pass through a population achieving herd immunity and going away. The evolutionary pressure of a vaccine will magnify this process, especially an incomplete vaccine like all of the current SARS-CoV-2 vaccines. By allowing vaccinated individuals to still catch and transmit the disease, but minimize their symptoms, the vaccine risks evolution of a more fatal mutation that would not otherwise be transmitted. A good example is Marek's disease in chickens.

My own view on SARS-CoV-2, as a physician, is that it is no more deadly than a seasonal flu, with a better-than-99% survival rate for most. The actual survival rate may be higher: 1) some countries, like the US, restrict use of effective medications like ivermectin; 2) Deaths with SARS-CoV-2 are counted as deaths from SARS-CoV-2, like a motorcycle accident death in Florida that was coded as a virus death; 3) use of a PCR test with high amplification cycles that produce high false-positive rates. Masks are ineffective due to the relative sizes of the virus and the pores in the mask, to the point of being like putting up a chain-link fence to keep out mosquitoes. Lockdowns, or "circuit-breakers" can have unintended and unappreciated consequences. And, as I suggested above, use of an incomplete vaccine during a pandemic is absolutely insane.

You may have noticed that I refer to the virus as SARS-CoV-2 rather than COVID. Here's where it gets weird...I believe COVID stands for "Certificate Of Vaccination ID, and that that ID leads to the endgame. The masks were placeholders for the vaccine. The vaccine is a placeholder for the vaccine passport, and the vaccine passport will be the placeholder for the evil to come. I foresee a global vaccine passport tied to a global digital currency and a social credit system. As a Christian, I see this as the Mark of the Beast, and the ongoing attacks on citizens and economies around the world as a battle not of man against a virus, but a battle of God against the Devil. I read the book, and God wins, but I still hope I'm just a crazy old man...
