¨Abstract
... The goal of this article was two-fold: a) to provide an answer to what turned a pandemic caused by a rather ordinary virus into an extraordinary public health crisis and b) whether the public health measures elicited by the predictions made by computer simulation were effective...
The present work consolidates the most reliable epidemiological data gathered by international databases and governments of several countries with data from pertinent previous publications listed in References...
The data summarized in this article indicates that unusually restrictive measures were mandated largely in response to predictions made by computer modeling of the pandemic. In particular, the predictions reported by the WHO Collaborating Centre for Infectious Disease Modeling, of the prestigious Imperial College of London, projected that without drastic intervention (like lock downs and quarantines), 7 billion infections worldwide and 40 million deaths during 2020 alone. These figures are compared in this article with actual data reported during 2020 and at the end of the pandemic (2023) demonstrating that computer predictions of the evolution of the pandemic were a blunder with catastrophic global consequences...
The data discussed here indicates also that a variety of different experimental vaccines failed to prevent infections among selected countries of South America, and that instead, natural attenuation and progressively less invasive hospital procedures could account for the eventual ending of the pandemic....
Concluding remarks
The virucidal role of sunlight and a seasonal pattern of coronavirus infections was determined and published early in the pandemic. A minimum of 11 minutes in tropical countries and longer farther away from the tropics was required for 90% of SARS-CoV-2 to be an inactivated.... [H]ealth measures to impede person-to-person transmission of the disease, such as lockdowns, face masks, and social distancing should have been deemed, at best, of limited value to stop the pandemic. On the contrary, lock-downs, forcing people to remain indoors, may have increased (or assured) contagion of COVID-19 among the same household dwellers and between patients and personnel inside the same hospital or geriatric facility. In addition, isolation of individuals indoors (thus deprived of sunlight, lowered their levels of vitamin D and weakened their immune competence by staying long periods indoors) may have altered the natural progression of the pandemic from a single incident into a set of reoccurring waves, as susceptible individuals became eventually released from their confinement...
Last but not least, the complicity of a large segment of the medical community readily imposing to their patients untested mandated health measures that often contradicted well establish principles of neurology, epidemiology, and immunology, condemned millions of people to unnecessary and deadly hospitalization and intubation, deprived them of the freedom to roam outdoors, isolated individuals from family and friends, recommended them to breathe through masks that could decrease oxygen intake to the brain, and forced even undecided and healthy patient as well as asymptomatic children to be injected with experimental vaccines some which, that by reverse transcribing into genomic DNA, could compare the long-term health of vaccine recipients and also their offspring."
