What was rebranded as “COVID” has always just been a variation of Influenza-Like-Illness (ILI).
By Howard David Stupak, 30 Jun 2022
Occasionally, I find pithy articles that wonderfully capture the essence of the COVID plandemic. This one from Dr Howard David Stupak, an American otolaryngologist, is just such and worth sharing in my opinion.
Why “plandemic”? Or perhaps “fakedemic” is more appropriate in this context? It’s not a term we use frivolously. Here, Dr Stupak presents a cogent argument that COVID is/was simply a severe influenza-like-illness (ILI), the likes of which anonymously make up 70% of seasonal viral activity every year in the northern hemisphere.
This supports the emerging hypothesis, that I have referred to a few times recently, that much of the excess mortality associated with COVID is actually due to the over-reaction rather than to the disease itself which was most likely circulating well before deaths spiked in a globally co-ordinated fashion in March 2020.
To coin a term from Mathew Crawford, it all adds to my “knowledge-scaffolding”, making me ever more comfortable with the insights and conclusions I draw from my own analyses of mortality data.

Abridged Conclusion
The medical and public health establishment have not deviated from the trajectory triggered by an early Lancet article on isolating individuals, absurdly attempting to link masking and “distancing” and the most profitable treatments of choice to disease cessation and falsely attempting to disconnect the regional parabolic incidence curves from seasonality via censoring and media manipulation.
There are obviously those who would like this period to never end. This includes clinicians, who through their over-sized role do not wish to have a reversal in the specialness in the “heroism” of their service, with reduction of the virus to simply a severe season of ILI.
There are those in leadership positions that have obviously seen that by continuing the theatre, they can continue their illusion of disease causality of human behavior and not environmental factors, not only saving face in light of their error, but frequently endless garnering attention from the masses.
Finally, the profiteers from the “pandemic” as a special entity are the most subversive, masquerading as humanitarians, but mostly obsessed with selling mitigation products — forever.
These strong lobbies have demanded nothing short of deference and obedience from the public, censuring disagreement and threatening workers and students with loss of career and opportunity with non-compliance. They have avoided discussion, standing only on the laurels of position and past education, quickly silencing dissenters as “fringe”.
This is nothing short of a battle to restore the prior world of scientific discussion and freedom from closed parks and schools, or forced masking for the public, as the truth is sought.
Incidentally, like me, Dr Stupak came to this conclusion as early as June 20201. Imagine what societal damage could have been avoided if the public health authorities had been honest.
The "heroism" angle is a bit of light bulb moment. I hadn't considered this as a motivating factor. That those people who believe they are fighting a lethal dragon fool themselves into believing they are doing something "heroic", and actually slaying the dragon (putting covid to bed and moving on) would lose them this image of themselves and this sense of heroic purpose. If it turns out they were just fighting a common or garden animal all along, their ego balloon would be punctured, and the cognitive dissonance too much to bear. I think this may be angle we have missed, but is an important part of the jigsaw. This also ties with the Medical Institutional Narrative of "war" - we are beating cancer, fighting this disease, etc. more generally, which allows doctors a hero or saviour complex. Conversely, one of my main piece of advice for folks with chronic illness is "reject the Medical Institutionalized Narrative, which uses the language of war such as “battling the disease” or “fighting”, and instead focus on making peace inside and out;"
Let’s not forget that most people did not die on the streets or at home. They were taken to the hospital where they were induced into an artificial comma and given rendesevir which is a deadly concoction that has never helped anyone. What happened was sheer malpractice based on the authorities top down with doctors being helpless to be doctors and rather have to follow instructions. What happened was mass murder. Intentional for the sake of profits from a group that don’t care how many die as long as they get Cheri profit.
