In the very early 1960s ~ soon after the end of WWII, social scientist Stanley Milgram carried out his singularly important (though not widely known) experiments which he designed to investigate the seemingly inexplicable, blind obedience of multitudes of Germans who directly or indirectly contributed to Hitler's reign of terror. High-ranking German officers who after the War were tried for war-crimes, all claimed as their defense that they were merely "following orders". Milgram thus wanted to investigate the nature and extent of individuals' obedience to authority figures. As he later wrote: "Could it be that [Adolf] Eichmann and his million accomplices in the Holocaust were just following orders? Could we call them all accomplices?"
In his experiments, Milgram's 'authority figures' wore white lab coats.... (you really should read about those experiments (here). Their results were astonishing ~ because, they were horrific.
The image, above left, shows Dr. Amy Acton ~ Director, Ohio's Department of Health ~ wearing her lettered, white lab coat ~ her 'cloak of authority'. Or should I say, her cloak of "ULTIMATE AUTHORITY". As it is plainly stated in the Ohio Revised Code (3701.13):
"The department of health shall have . . . ultimate authority in matters of quarantine and isolation, which it may declare and enforce, when neither exists...."
One might reasonably suppose that such broad ~ seemingly unlimited ~ power should be followed by legal language defining the scope and conditions of such "ultimate authority". So it should. But it doesn't! NO SUCH LIMITATIONS appear in the Ohio Revised Code, in connection with the above-quoted text of law. (Which is a very serious defect that urgently needs to be remedied by Ohio's legislators.)
But how do you get nearly 12 Million people (the population of Ohio) to obey such grossly unreasonable and exceedingly destructive "Orders" as have lately been imposed by ONE person? Why, you dress them up in a white lab coat, of course. Somebody, somewhere, understands the implications and power of Stanley Milgram's little known, albeit very important, work.
Those, powerful individuals and organizations, who are working behind the scenes to regain real, "ultimate authority" over America and the world, are megalomaniacal, to be sure; but they are not stupid.
Though their puppets oftentimes are. And if they are not, then they must be knowingly complicit in committing crimes against humanity.
Which is it?
No one will dispute the fact that, throughout Ohio, untold numbers of businesses have already been destroyed by reason of the draconian measures imposed by Ohio's Department of Health ~ and supported by Ohio's governor DeWine. Suicide rates are already skyrocketing ~ and will doubtless continue to escalate well past whatever time it may take for Ohio's economy to recover.
I am not a medical doctor. Although, I did graduate summa cum laude (Valedictorian of a class numbering 53) with a Bachelor of Science degree (Physician Assistant). I understand a thing or two about how to design research studies and interpret statistical data ~ including, how to calculate such things as mortality rates. Shouldn't one reasonably expect that a medical doctor (MD) ~ such as Dr. Acton, should also understand those things?
Yet, her own words betray ~ either her stupidity or her complicity. Which is it? Regardless, either conclusion does not speak well of her ability, or of her actions, or both. In a publicly broadcast speech which Dr. Acton gave, yesterday (April 20, 2020), she said (in essence) the following: [caveat: Notwithstanding two hours of online research and well more than an hour waiting, on hold, to speak with someone from the local radio station which broadcast Dr. Acton' speech (WHIO 1290AM; April 20, 2020; mid-afternoon); yet, I was unable to obtain a record of that publicly broadcast speech. Therefore, I can only summarize the substance of certain things she said, as best I can recall her words, as follows.]
- Data now reveals that as many as 70% of those infected with Covid-19, may be "asymptomatic"; they may exhibit NO symptoms of illness whatsoever
- As of yesterday (April 20, 2020): In Ohio there were (approx.) 12,000 confirmed cases of Covid-19, and (approx.) 500 Covid-related deaths
- Ohio's Covid-19 testing (regime) is "targeting high-risk populations"
- The actual number of infected Ohioans ~ including many who have not been tested, may be in the range of 5 - 15% of the population
Let's break all of that down, shall we?
Mortality rate is calculated by dividing the total number of deaths by the total number of infected persons. Thus, using Dr. Acton's data, above, the mortality rate ~ with respect to the number of "confirmed" (tested) cases, would be: 500 divided by 12,000 = 4.2 % Such a high mortality rate is, of course, very frightening indeed. BUT . . .
The TRUE mortality rate is very, very much lower than that ~ by orders of magnitude! Let's first consider what is likely to be the actual number of Covid-related deaths. Never mind, for the sake of this argument, that it has lately become known that certain, powerful agencies are pushing hard to inflate the reported number of Covid-19 deaths. Still, the state of Ohio does keep very close tabs on deaths ~ of every kind ~ in this state. Let us then assume that 500 deaths may be reasonably close to a valid number. But what about the actual number of infected persons? Is it scientifically and logically valid to use the number 12,000 ~ that is, the number of "confirmed" (tested) cases? Or, in the interest of determining TRUE information pertaining to the ACTUAL mortality rate of Covid-19, isn't it more scientific (not to mention more honest) to use BEST ESTIMATES of the actual number of infected persons? Dr. Acton herself admitted that the ACTUAL number of infections, in Ohio, is likely to be somewhere between 5 - 15% of the population. In the interest of fairness, let us take the median of that range, i.e., 10%. Which then means that the ACTUAL number of infected persons in Ohio is more like: 10% of 12,000,000 = (approx.) 1.2 Million. In which case ~ that is to say, the ACTUAL case ~ the mortality rate of Covid-19 is calculated thus:
500 (deaths) divided by 1.2M (infections) = 0.00042 (or, 0.042%) !
Obviously, to any reasonable-minded person, the difference between 4.2% and 0.042% ~ is the difference between PANDEMIC (in the former case) and seasonal flu (at worst, in the latter).
Surely, Dr. Acton must realize the difference. Wouldn't you suppose? The only problem is that few Ohioans, probably, either know enough or are interested enough to take the time to figure out just what those numbers mean.
But it is even worse than that. What are the implications of Dr. Acton's admission that Ohio has been "targeting high-risk populations", with Covid-19 testing programs? It means that the data related to both the infection-rate (how contagious is the virus), as well as to the mortality-rate (how deadly is the virus) ~ must, by reason of such narrowly-focused means, be terribly skewed. Who are those, "high-risk populations"? They are the elderly; those with pre-existing illness; and, those living in concentrated, confined environments, i.e.: nursing homes, prisons, etc.. Of course, it is expected that both the infection-rate as well as the mortality-rate would be very significantly higher, in such settings. Which, in turn, means that even the number 12,000 ("confirmed cases") not only misrepresents the number of Covid-19 cases statewide; but, such "targeted" testing furthermore misrepresents the actual morbidity and mortality associated with that virus.
But, then, to talk about THOSE numbers as if they represent the actual condition among the general population ~ is fraudulent, at best. Whereas, the purposes for which that kind of fraud has been, and still is being, deployed, very likely suggests something far more sinister than mere malpractice is at work amongst us.
It may seem the height of irony, the idea, that in order to control the masses, it is first needful to create a climate of mass panic. What we are witnessing (and suffering), I believe, is a strategically designed campaign involving mis-information and dis-information . . . much of which has been promulgated by smiling faces wearing (or associated with) white lab coats. Those white coats are more than mere window dressing: they are powerful, psychological weapons, in a war that is being waged for control, and for the future, of this nation.
