The Truth About the Covid ‘Crisis’ in India
Image: Al Jazeera
Now that Chile is settling down a bit, the latest Covid cautionary tale is India, which never seems to be out of the news at the moment as its positive cases and deaths have rocketed in the past few weeks.
Even the usually level-headed Kate Andrews in the Spectator has been painting the situation in lurid colours.
As it happened, the UK’s worst nightmares were never realised. The Nightingale hospitals built to increase capacity were barely used. But what the British Government feared most is now taking place elsewhere. India is suffering an exponential growth in infections, with more than 349,000 cases reported yesterday, as well as nearly 3,000 deaths. Hospitals are running out of oxygen for patients and wards are overflowing. There are reports of long queues as the sick wait to be seen by medical professionals. It’s expected the situation will deteriorate further before it gets better.
Jo Nash, who lived in India until recently and still has many contacts out there, has written a very good piece for Left Lockdown Sceptics putting the current figures in context – something no mainstream outlet seems to have any interest in doing.
Jo makes the crucial point that we need to keep in mind the massive difference in scale between India and the UK. At 1.4 billion people, India is more than 20 times larger than the UK, so to compare Covid figures fairly we must divide India’s by 20. So 2,000 deaths a day is equivalent to a UK toll of 100. India’s current official total Covid deaths of approaching 200,000 is equivalent to just 10,000 in the UK.

In a country the size of India and with the huge number of health challenges faced by the population, the number of Covid deaths needs to be kept in perspective. As Sanjeev Sabhlock observes in the Times of India, 27,000 people die everyday in India. This includes 2,000 from diarrhoea and 1,200 from TB (vaccinations for which have been disrupted by the pandemic). The lack of adequate hospital provision for Covid patients may be more a reflection of the state of the health service than the severity of the disease.
Jo Nash also points out that poor air quality plays a role.
Delhi, the focus of the media’s messaging, and the source of many of the media’s horrifying scenes of suffering, has the most toxic air in the world which often leads to the city having to close down due to the widespread effects on respiratory health…
Respiratory diseases including COPD, TB, and respiratory tract infections like bronchitis leading to pneumonia are always among the top ten killers in India. These conditions are severely aggravated by air pollution and often require oxygen which can be in short supply during air pollution crises…
According to my contacts on the ground, people in Delhi are suffering from untreated respiratory and lung conditions that are now becoming serious. I’ve also had breathing problems there when perfectly healthy and started to mask up to keep the particulate matter out of my lungs. I used to suffer from serious chest infections twice yearly during the big changes in weather in India, usually November/December and April/May. When I reluctantly masked up that stopped. My contacts have reported that the usual seasonal bronchial infections have not been properly treated by doctors afraid of getting Covid, and people’s avoidance of government hospitals due to fear of getting Covid. Undoubtedly, these fears will have been fuelled by the media’s alarmist coverage of the situation. Consequently, the lack of early intervention means many respiratory conditions have developed life-threatening complications. Also, people from surrounding rural areas often travel to Delhi for treatment as it has the best healthcare facilities and people can go there for a few rupees by train. This puts pressure on Delhi’s healthcare system during respiratory virus seasons.
Positive cases look like they may be peaking in many regions now.
One mystery, as yet unexplained, is why India, which has not experienced a strong surge like this so far, suddenly did in March and April. Adding to the mystery is that the simultaneity of the surge across the regions is unexpected in a country as large as India and contrary to earlier outbreaks last year. Nick Hudson from Panda suggests it means there must be something artificial about it as it is not a natural pattern, since viruses naturally spread across the country with some delay and variation evident between regions.
It hasn’t escaped people’s attention that one novel factor is the nationwide vaccine programme rollout, beginning in January and accelerating during March. Is this a further example of the post-vaccine infection spike seen in the various trials and population studies, possibly caused by temporary suppression of the immune system?
Testing is another possible factor, as the number of tests being carried out surged in March and April – though so did the positive rate, suggesting this can’t be the only explanation.
Whatever is going on, it’s a pity there is not more curiosity among our scientists and journalists. Instead, it’s just the usual scaremongering driven by the misrepresentation of data.
Stop Press: Former Assistant Secretary-General of the United Nations Professor Ramesh Thakur has been in touch with a comment he left on a story in the Australian.
Some context and perspective. India’s Covid deaths yesterday were 2,163 (seven-day rolling average). India’s average daily death toll is 25,000 from all causes.
Second, despite this surge, as of now India’s Covid mortality rate is 140 dead per million people. This compares to 401 for the world average, 1,762 for the US, and 1,869 for the UK. It puts India 119th in the world on this, the single most important statistic for comparison purposes.
Third, the crux of the problem in India is not the proportion of cases and deaths from Covid. Rather, it is the lack of a fit-for-purpose public health infrastructure and medical supplies of equipment and drugs.
Fourth, although Government neglect of public health while prioritising vanity projects like a new Parliament building during the pandemic, building temples and statues etc. is a contributory factor, the real cause of a poor public health system is poverty. Put bluntly, poverty is the world’s biggest killer.
Fifth and finally, this is why a strong economy is not an optional luxury but an essential requirement for good health.

And the population of India is ? A million a month die in mostly third world countries from communicable diseases and nobody says a world – not even classed a pandemic .

Only 24 hours after receiving the Covid vaccine, India’s Public Health Ambassador Vivekh died from a massive heart blood clot.
Just before being vaccinated, he said, “I want to put an end to all the rumours. I want to show people that there is no danger in getting vaccinated. On the contrary, it will protect us.”

What an idiot. The GMO chemotherapy injections are not supposed to be taken by the Zionist elite or their political operatives. The injections, just like the illegal mandates and face diapers for slaves, are just intended for the goyim. When the elite such as Gates, Klaus Schwab, Pelosi or her nephew Gavin are flying around in those CO2 spewing kerosine hogging private jets do you think their wearing masks? I don’t think so. Of course technically Vivekh’s death did not occur within the 15 minute report zone for it to be labeled as an adverse reaction. The inflammatory response from the blood toxin is not supposed to kill the “useless eaters” right away but is really just supposed to weaken the natural immune system, sterilize the recipient and trigger latent gene mutation and AED back door surprises down the road. No problem, big Pharma is working on drugs for those “side effects”, that is if the injectees are still around.

Good post! I was wondering about that, too— it must have been a mistake, giving Vivekh the jab intended for the lower castes, instead of the placebo intended for the elites.

The package insert for every test states that it is unable to rule out bacteria or other viruses. The tests literally state that they don’t know what they have. I don’t understand the relevance of a positive test result in this context, but it gets worse. The inserts also say that negative results do not indicate the absence of infection. So, the tests are useless in both result states.

If you have a fake virus then you also need a fake test that is variable according to the number of cycles used. The test is still the weak link in the global Zionist scam but by using the criminal MSM, CDC-WHO and big Pharma and their political operatives to sell the scam they are confident from the previous medical frauds such as the phony AIDS, H1N1, Swine Flu and the anthrax hoax, that the majority of livestock will fall for the imaginary pathogen, and they are. The elite know that the big majority of goyim are too lazy and gullible to take a few minutes and research any thing for themselves.
Not only big money guaranteed from the governments they control as with Gates who has doubled his wealth over the last ten years to 100 billion with taxpayers “vaccine” payouts but the fake virus is an ideal conditioning device to gain total power over the plantation herd. In the meantime it should be mentioned that big Pharma has Zero liability for any adverse reactions.

That’s why I object to the term “herd immunity”— it’s too close to the truth of “goy cattle”.

La evidencia es incontrovertible. Se está cometiendo el Genocidio perfecto. El crimen perfecto. Son los mismos gobernantes los que están vaciando sus arcas para comprar el arma homicida y obligar a la gente a dejársela enterrar. Todos los eventos adversos, los muertos por estos productos ilegales y antiéticos, son reportados como “COVID-19 POSITIVOS”, “no hay nexo causal con la “vacuna”, por lo tanto no hay investigación epidemiológica y mucho menos indemnizaciones, porque en el del año luego de la inoculación, hay que demostrar el nexo y demandar. Pero si se creman los cadáveres, desaparece cualquier evidencia y ni siquiera para investigación medicolegal.
Pero la correlación es la mejor prueba: el mundo ya estaba casi normal hasta que se empezó a “vacunar”: y lo que no pasó en 16 meses, sucedió a la semana de iniciar las inoculaciones fatales. Aquí los únicos que han sido inteligentes han sido la mayoría de gobernantes africanos.
El Presidente de Madagascar denunció un intento de soborno por 20 millones de dólares para contaminar su producto de Artemisia, importada por Tanzania, Guinea-Bissau, República Democrática del Congo y Níger.
Bill Gates en Nigeria ofreció un soborno de 10 millones de dólares a la Cámara de Representantes para que aprobaran la “vacunación obligatoria”, cuando las vacunas ni siquiera estaban “inventadas”.
La OMS fue expulsada de Tanzania y luego de Burundi por interferir con sus asuntos internos.
Andry Rajoelina, Presidente de Madagascar expresó: “La gente esté atenta, la Organización Mundial de la Salud a la que nos hemos unido pensando que nos ayudará, está ahí para matar africanos” “…Les pido a todos los africanos que no usen su vacuna contra el coronavirus, porque está matando…” “…los europeos hackearon nuestro remedio, han puesto venenos para matar solo a los africanos como quisieron con las vacunas que protestamos”. ´Fuente: https://aobrempongnana.wordpress.com/tag/madagascar/
