Der globale Lockdown-Betrug der Kommunistischen Partei Chinas: Der Überblick und das Quellenverzeichnis

Überblick:

1. Die Lockdowns entstanden auf Anweisung von Xi Jinping, dem Generalsekretär der Kommunistischen Partei Chinas, und wurden von der Weltgesundheitsorganisation mit wenig Analyse oder Logik zur globalen Politik propagiert
2. Die einflussreichste Institution für COVID-19-Modelle, die sich selbst als „Chinas bester akademischer Partner im Westen“ bezeichnet, war bei weitem der alarmistischste und ungenaueste COVID-19-Modellierer
3. Tödliche Empfehlungen für frühe mechanische Beatmung kamen aus China
4. Die weltweit vorherrschenden, extrem ungenauen PCR-Testprotokolle basieren auf unvollständigen, theoretischen Genom-Sequenzen, die von China geliefert wurden
5. Vorherrschende, exzessive PCR-Testprotokolle stammen aus China
6. Studien, die eine signifikante asymptomatische Übertragung zeigen und die einzige wissenschaftliche Grundlage für die Isolierung gesunder Personen sind, stammen aus China
7. Die KPC führte eine frühe, breite, systematische und globale Kampagne durch, um ihre Abriegelungsmaßnahmen zu propagieren
8. Viele prominente Pro-Lockdown-Wissenschaftler zeigen eine auffällige Pro-China-Einstellung
9. Viele andere einflussreiche Befürworter der Lockdowns sind unqualifiziert, die Regierungschefs in der Pandemiepolitik zu beraten – zudem zeigen sie oft eine auffällige Pro-China-Voreingenommenheit
10. Mehrere Top-Gesundheitsbeamte verschiedener Staaten sind jämmerlich unqualifiziert und zeigen eine auffällige Pro-China-Voreingenommenheit
