It comes from an article posted at Swiss Propaganda Research. It describes reports from the Italian National Health Institute. It confirms what I\u2019ve been writing about Italy\u2014which is:<\/p>\n<p>Take a population of many elderly people who already have serious, multiple, long-term health conditions, including lung conditions. Note that these people have already been treated with a number of toxic medical drugs. Add in very toxic air pollution in certain sectors of the country\u2014which, in fact, accounts for a great amount of these lung problems. Consider that pneumonia\u2014said to be a cardinal feature of COVID-19\u2014has been rampant in Italy for a long time, long before the emergence of the supposed coronavirus. Numbers of flu-like illness cases and pneumonia cases, going back before \u201cthe pandemic,\u201d are huge. These cases show the same general symptoms attributed to COVID. Finally, use a diagnostic test, which, as I\u2019ve described, can rack up false-positives for reasons that have nothing to do with COVID\u2026and you have the illusion of a new epidemic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut\u2026but what about the overflowing ICU wards in hospitals?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Think it through. Every elderly ill person with lung problems now fears he\/she might \u201chave the virus,\u201d and so comes the flood of people to hospital. It\u2019s no mystery.<\/p>\n<p>All right. Here are excerpts from the Swiss Propaganda Research article, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/swprs.org\/a-swiss-doctor-on-covid-19\/\">Facts about Covid-19<\/a>\u201d:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAccording to the latest data of the Italian National Health Institute ISS, the average age of the positively-tested deceased in Italy is currently about 81 years. 10% of the deceased are over 90 years old. 90% of the deceased are over 70 years old.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c80% of the deceased had suffered from two or more chronic diseases. 50% of the deceased had suffered from three or more chronic diseases. The chronic diseases include in particular cardiovascular problems, diabetes, respiratory problems and cancer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLess than 1% of the deceased were healthy persons, i.e. persons without pre-existing chronic diseases. Only about 30% of the deceased are women.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Italian Institute of Health moreover distinguishes between those who died from the coronavirus and those who died with the coronavirus. In many cases it is not yet clear whether the persons died from the virus or from their pre-existing chronic diseases or from a combination of both.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe two Italians deceased [!!] under 40 years of age (both 39 years old) were a cancer patient and a diabetes patient with additional complications. In these cases, too, the exact cause of death was not yet clear (i.e. if from the virus or from their pre-existing diseases).\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe partial overloading of the hospitals is due to the general rush of patients and the increased number of patients requiring special or intensive care. In particular, the aim is to stabilize respiratory function and, in severe cases, to provide [toxic] anti-viral therapies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNorthern Italy has one of the oldest populations and the worst air quality in Europe, which had already led to an increased number of respiratory diseases and deaths in the past and is likely an additional risk factor in the current epidemic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSouth Korea, for instance, has experienced a much milder course than Italy and has already passed the peak of the epidemic. In South Korea, only about 70 deaths with a positive test result have been reported so far. As in Italy, those affected were mostly high-risk patients.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe few dozen test-positive Swiss deaths so far were also high-risk patients with chronic diseases, an average age of more than 80 years and a maximum age of 97 years, whose exact cause of death, i.e. from the virus or from their pre-existing diseases, is not yet known.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll clarify a further point. Even if the diagnostic tests on patients claim to show the presence of the COVID-19 virus\u2014and even if we accept that finding as true\u2014the test has never been proved to be able to say HOW MUCH virus is in a patient\u2019s body. And that is vital, because, to even begin talking about a person actually getting sick, he would have to have millions and millions of virus actively replicating in his body. Therefore, the finding of the test is irrelevant in the real world, as opposed to the lab.<\/p>\n<p>In the real world, of which Italy is a part, people who are aged, who have multiple and very serious long-term health problems, who have been treated for years with toxic drugs\u2014these people die of those factors. There is no need for a purportedly new virus to explain why they are dying.<\/p>\n<p>The absolute fraud and crime involved here are enormous. The perpetrators, in their bubble of reputation, wall-to-wall false science, media robots, and government back-up will escape with their careers intact.<\/p>\n<p>But the truth has a way of toppling pedestals and the people who stand on them.<\/p>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.nomorefakenews.com\/2020\/04\/09\/covid-italy-update-dispelling-the-pandemic-illusion\/\">https:\/\/blog.nomorefakenews.com\/2020\/04\/09\/covid-italy-update-dispelling-the-pandemic-illusion\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>COVID Italy update: dispelling the pandemic illusion<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11473","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11473","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=11473"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11473\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=11473"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=11473"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=11473"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
