The extreme antibody reaction from those who fear free speech says it all
— Tweet posted by Elon Musk on April 26, 2022.
I suspect about maybe half of our Daily Post readers would agree with the proposition that the Big, Bad Wolf, in the COVID story, is the ravenous international pharmaceutical industry and its allies — and that any ‘misinformation’ we may have experienced since the start of 2020 has emanated from the Centers for Disease Control, the National Institute of Health, and the World Health Organization (WHO), facilitated by the mainstream media and local public health agencies, resulting in unnecessary economic and social damage in communities large and small.
The other half of our readers would likely agree with the proposition that the SARS-CoV-2 virus has posed a serious existential threat to humanity, and that the pharmaceutical industry, along with federal, state and local governments, and public health agencies, assisted by the mainstream media, saved us from a much worse situation — and that the Big, Bad Wolf is embodied in the roughly one-third of America that refused to be vaccinated, and protested the lock-downs and mask mandates, and were the ones spreading ‘misinformation’.
Daily Post humor writer Louis Cannon published a column earlier this week, about the $44 billion purchase of Twitter by American billionaire Elon Musk, a development that — depending on which side of the fence you believe you’re standing on — either bodes well for Internet freedom of speech, or portends a ‘misinformation’ disaster.
Mr. Cannon quoted Elon Musk, from a press release announcing the Twitter purchase.
“Free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy, and Twitter is the digital town square where matters vital to the future of humanity are debated,” said Mr. Musk. “I also want to make Twitter better than ever by enhancing the product with new features, making the algorithms open source to increase trust, defeating the spam bots, and authenticating all humans. Twitter has tremendous potential – I look forward to working with the company and the community of users to unlock it.”
We have to wonder about that first phrase of that quote. “Free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy…”
Some people believe this. Many do not.
A couple of days ago, one of my friends sent me a link to a series of videos titled “The Viral Delusion” — produced by documentary maker Mike Wallach. The first 2-hour episode points it lens at various health professionals — mostly doctors and biological researchers — who have come to the shared conclusion that the COVID emergency may have been based on a virus that doesn’t actually exist. That the ‘excess deaths’ over the past two years were the result, not of a novel virus, but of misapplied, experimental medical procedures.
A mind-boggling proposition, of course. How on earth could ordinary citizens and health care professionals, all around the world, be fooled into submitting to vaccinations, mask mandates and serious economic and social constraints, based upon belief in a non-existent germ?

The film begins with Dr. Andrew Kaufman, MD:
“In February, I took a trip to California, and at the west coast airports, I saw people wearing masks. And I said, This has to be serious. I’ve never seen this before. And that’s when I started saying, Okay, let’s figure out what’s going on. I’m going to start at the very beginning. I’m going to look at the papers that discovered the virus, and take it wherever it leads me.
“And I never expected to find, that those papers didn’t actually show any virus.
“I was really surprised that the experimental techniques that they were using — it couldn’t possibly show a new organism. It was totally the wrong experiment to do. At first, I was totally confused. I thought I must be missing something, because, why would it be so ‘far off’? It was just shocking, and I had to really talk to other people and look at their work, and look at the historical context, before I could fully appreciate what was going on…”
Who’s afraid of the big, bad wolf?
And if we ought to be afraid, who, exactly, is the wolf?
At the conclusion of the fascinating first episode of Wallach’s seven-hour-long, five-episode documentary, a series of researchers consider the changes that took place during the end of the 19th century and first part of the 20th century, when allopathic medicine was successfully replacing homeopathic and naturopathic medicine in Europe and the U.S., and how ‘germ theory’ allowed the chemical-pharmaceutical-industrial-complex to begin earning massive profits with manufactured drugs that were often based on common, traditional herbal medicines.
How did we create a world where ‘health’ supposedly depends from expensive pills and syringes?
How did we create a world where we are afraid of our neighbors, afraid of our own family members?
Quoting one of the film’s numerous commentators, virus researcher Dr. Claus Kohnlein:
“I think it’s a corollary to the military industrial complex. You need an enemy. You need an enemy to [justify] the big expense for the military. And it’s the same in medicine. If you want to feed the medical-industrial complex, you need one epidemic per year. And if you want to feed the military industrial complex, you need one war per year. So it’s a very similar problem. You need an enemy, an enemy to be fought.
“And if you don’t have an enemy, if you can live together… then the military, or the pharmaceutical-industrial complex, gets no money.
“So, again. Follow the money trail.”
And this, from another of the film’s commentators, Tom Cowan MD, the author of ‘The Contagion Myth’:
“We were told a story, for whatever reason. And the real story is much more simple, and much more beautiful, and much more hopeful than we thought. Because if we’re just made of, you know, ‘water’ and ‘energy’ and a few minerals… and what we get sick from is misconceptions, starvation, and poisons, then we have the ability — if we choose, to clean that up and have a much better life. Much better.
“But in order to get there, we need to see this picture as ‘real’, and to realize there’s nothing to be afraid of.
“Once you see that, the way you see life, changes. And if we don’t see it like that, we going to go down a path that could be very hard to get out of…”
