This is some next level gaslighting on COVID-19 mitigation

It seems the media wants Americans to forget exactly why they agreed to sacrifice their liberty for public health

This is some next level gaslighting on COVID-19 mitigation

See all the latest videos and articles patriots need to watch and read at Discern.tv.

I distinctly remember the day the Coronavirus Task Force extended 15 Days to Slow the Spread to an additional 30. They flashed a graph up on the screen that showed a stunning prediction. If we went on with our normal lives, it was predicted that somewhere between 1 and 2.2 million Americans would die of the virus. This was a stunning number and the Task Force was proposing mitigation actions to reduce it by an order of magnitude.

The Original Story

When the model was presented, we were told the reduced impacts were dependent on compliance with the severe social distancing recommendations that were presented and baked into the model. These were then expanded on by petty tyrants like Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti. So Americans largely complied with ridiculous limitations on religious services, shopping items and closures of public outdoor spaces. Likely because many are under threat for being fined for everything from attending a drive in church service to standing less than 6 feet from someone else in public.

The Model Fails

If we all adhered to the federal mitigation guidelines and the additional ones specified at the state and local level, projections for deaths from the virus fell to 100 to 240 thousand. This is the infamous IMHE model. Journalists such as Alex Berenson and Sean Davis have been dutifully comparing the models predictions to reality. They have found its usefulness to be quite dismal.

With questions about the predictive accuracy of the model, pressure is increasing to let the economy come back to life. This is the last thing the media wants. The evidence is in their behavior during the daily press conference. One day the President is not authoritarian enough because he won’t force Republican governors to issue stay at home orders. The next he is a brutal authoritarian if he might pressure states to follow federal guidance to lift the restrictions.

Light That Fire

So now they will endeavor to make you forget why you agreed to this in the first place. Listen to the short exchange between Savannah Guthrie and Dr. Anthony Fauci that ends at the 3:25 mark:

This quote for Guthrie begins the gaslighting:

Kirk Elliott Expert

The initial projections which took a lot of people’s breath away was potentially 100 to 240 thousand deaths in this country.

That was not the initial projection. The initial projection was 1-2.2 million. We sacrificed immense liberty and economic gains to stop this level of tragedy. We were told we would be aiming for the 100 to 240 thousand mark.

The introduction is the set up for the money quote from Dr. Fauci:

The real data is telling us that it is highly likely that we are having a definite positive effect by this mitigation we’re doing. The physical separation. So I believe we are going to have a downturn and it looks more like 60,000 than 100-200,000. But having said that, we better be careful that we don’t say we’re doing so well we can pull back. We still have to put our foot on the accelerator when it comes to mitigation and physical separation.

The Fallacy

Actually, what the data is telling us is that the mitigation we are doing is far more effective than originally thought or the assumptions in the model were always wrong. The case severity has never matched the level of hospital beds required by the model even as the number of infections rises. The death rate was revised down after it had assumed significant mitigation in the initial projection. And after those monitoring it like Alex and Sean pointed out the significant misses across the board.

Never forget, the original projection was 1-2.2 million deaths. Even that is looking patently ridiculous in light of new data. Iceland has randomly tested approximately 10% of their population. Fifty percent of positive cases are asymptomatic. The CDC’s most recent estimate was that 25% of cases are without symptoms. This would change both the case severity rate and death rate significantly. Iceland’s only significant restriction is on gatherings larger than 20. Most shops and businesses are still open. As of Friday they had seven deaths or a death rate of 0.4%. Not the 1.0-3.5% that has been thrown around.

Exchanges like this interview between Guthrie and Fauci are meant to reshape your perception of why we did all of this in the first place. It also changes the story about what the initial model took into account. Be prepared. Now, when President Trump opens up the economy, even with caution and sensitivity to local conditions, if 60,0001 people die he will be pilloried. The media chorus of “We were supposed to keep our foot on the gas with this mitigation thing” will be deafening. At least until the corporate media and their allies in the Democrat party are sure Trump will lose in November.
