Case numbers drop all by themselves

Hamilton’s case rate dropped a reported 24 percent in the past week all by itself, without mask mandates, lockdowns, or a rise in vaccinations.  How could this be possible?

A pandemic has its own natural ebb and flow.  A drop of 24 percent in a week would be claimed the consequence of a mask mandate or a lockdown – if these had been imposed.  But of course, they weren’t.  The drop can only be attributed to a natural ebb in the pandemic.

It is defensible mathematically to say that the duration and height of the fourth wave were limited by a high vaccination rate.  This dramatic drop in infection rate illustrates that mask mandates and lockdowns were utterly ineffective in controlling the lengths and durations of waves one, two, and three.  The pandemic ebbed and flowed in accordance with factors that were not touched by human intervention.  We know from previous studies that lockdowns don’t work and may even contribute to the spread, at least initially; and that cloth and paper masks are useless as filters against virus-sized airborne particles.  This episode of a 24 percent week over week drop is further confirmation of what previous analyses showed – that pandemics ebb and flow of their own accord.

Mask mandates and lockdowns were placebos intended to make it look like the government and the experts were doing something and to silence the panicky pills who were demanding that something be done.  The vaccine passport is yet another bone tossed to the panicky pills to keep them quiet.
