I have transcribed a video so you can either watch or read it.

Here is the video link: https://youtu.be/cRUT7PajZr0

Bright Light News' Tania Khazaal as she interviews interdisciplinary research scientist, Denis Rancourt, on the topic of Covid-19. Rancourt shares evidence to support his claim that the deaths of elderly people in long-term care homes, where the majority of Covid-19 deaths took place, were directly accelerated by government actions and lockdown measures.

Are the government measures in response to Covid supported by scientific evidence?

No. The science does not support this stuff. The Policies are hodge potch, they are made up, they are whatever you want, they are government committees deciding what they are going to do. What makes sense in quotation but doesn’t make sense.

For example the danger the elderly are in:
What do you do about the vulnerable elderly in response to a very virulent respiratory disease? immediately a lot of scientists will even suggest this, and the politicians will jump right on it. They’ll say:

‘well we have to isolate them (the vulnerable) completely, we have to put them in a closed capsules so they cannot be exposed to this virus because it could kill them.
And we know that this virus has greater effect on people who are elderly and have comorbidities etc, THERFORE we have to isolate them’

Well guess what? That’s crazy.

There is no scientific study that has established that isolating elderly vulnerable people will not cause more harm than good. There is no study that shows this because if you isolate someone, you are going to put a tremendous stress on them. You are going to:
- separate them from their family. They are elderly. They crave contact often.
- take away human contact.
- take them out of any societal connection/ have minimal people to take care of them, certified and tested minimally , they are going to be the only people they see.

Two factors: psychological stress and isolation from society. Those two factors are known scientifically, and this is a rigorous study by Professor Sheldon Cohen, those two huge factors increase your likelihood of dying from a viral respiratory disease. That’s not a subtle effect, that’s a major effect.

There are many studies that show this this. Comparative studies, Randomised controlled trials that show this. So we know from science that you are going to be putting them at huge risk. But we do not know that you are preventing them from being infected, whether they are already carrying this virus, in fact we know that many carriers were sent into the care home environment.

So we are not doing a proper analysis of how you secure the health of the most vulnerable people. Instead we are just acting in a reactive way, in a guttural way, ‘well just isolate them.’ This is a death sentence for a lot of these people.

Our studies show, and we looked at this in detail, we looked at all-cause mortality (any reason dealth rate), because we don’t want to be biased by what someone else is attributing the cause of death to. We look at all cause mortality and we find a very sharp and sudden peak that shoots up right after the pandemic was announced by the World health organisation. And its unusually narrow, and it comes back down, and its synchronous around the world where it occurs, BUT one jurisdiction to the next where it occurs, one state to the next in the US, one county to the next in Europe, one county to the next, it can occur or NOT occur. Even though these are very similar places.

We looked at the features of this rise (in the all cause death) that did occur and we concluded that it was artificial.

No virus causing respiratory disease could have done this. It goes against laws of nature that you could do this with what is known about these viruses about how they spread and how they come into the population.

We concluded that it was artificial and due to the government measures that isolated people, that put them in a terrible state. And from jurisdiction to jurisdiction it would have killed people more efficiently depending on what that jurisdiction is like.

So there will be jurisdictions where there is already a high level of stress and tension between the staff and the occupants who will have it worse. For residents of these care homes there is already a negative and high stress situation in place. So these new measures, where you isolate the families from them, so families are not able to check on the competency of care, where they are not compensating for the lack of care were worse. There were jurisdictions where this was brutal and it really killed a lot of people, and the Paris region is one. Quebec was a high death province, way more than any other in terms of this peak (in Canada), we called it the covid peak but it is not due to the virus, it is due to the government measures. In New York City – (the peak was ) very huge. However there are many other states where the peak is completely absent.

I have become convinced that the government response has killed many vulnerable people and would do it again if you did it the same again. And that’s why I am very concerned about what I just say in the Newspaper – There’s an article here in the Ottawa citizen:

“Only essential caregivers to see long-term care residents starting Oct”

This is Doug Fords new dictate (Canadian premier of Ontario ). There is going to be a second wave of killing vulnerable people in long term institutions and care homes because they are going to isolate them from their family and friends, create again that situation of high stress.

Just the fact you are not going to have that human contact is a parameter studied in the scientific papers that shows that, for the same viral infection you have a much higher chance of suffering a violent infection and dying if your socially isolated, and this study was done in the US with young college students – and imagine if among young college students that are given the same infection, they are much sicker than the ones which are not socially isolated. This is a rigorous outcome from the study. That’s for young people. For elderly people it’s much worse. We know the biology, we know the psychology, we know the elderly are much more sensitive to psychological stress. Psychological stress has a much bigger impact on their whole metabolism (immune system’s) ability to fight infection or fight challenges. That’s one of the reasons why cancer is an old age disease for example, it’s a lot about the immune system.

So we know that in young people this is the wrong thing to do, there hasn’t been specific studies with the elderly population, but that’s no reason to do it because there haven’t been studies. Everything we know should tell you not to do this. And also it’s never been done before. This is the first time they have decided to be so violent.

Normally the elderly people at risk you go on a case by case. If the family wants to see them, if they have a particular need for their family, or that the institution doesn’t care as well as they would like them to. All the circumstances that are different, the families and the elderly themselves would judge the risk. So they would expose themselves to those that could be carrying, but of course if those people had any symptoms they wouldn’t partake – normally people would optimise themselves to the person and circumstance.

But instead you have this brutal rule which says:
‘You are isolated, that’s it, you are cut off, and anyone who sees you is going to be wearing gloves and a mask and a visor’

You are going to be terrified obviously. This has never been done before. It’s never even been recommended before. If you look at papers which followed epidemics of the past and look at the reviews of what they concluded, none of them say this is a good idea. “If you isolate the vulnerable and the elderly this would be a good idea” It’s crazy, it turns out it kills them. So yeah, I am really upset, none of this is science based, it’s all just made up. It’s all made up.

Question: 97% of deaths in Canada were in those over the age of 60 with comorbidities as of September 23rd. The [none] vulnerable of the population only consisted of 297 deaths of the total 9234 deaths. Even if you covered it a little bit, why are the vast majority of people dying over 60 and with co morbidities?

It’s the fact their immune systems are much more susceptible to psychological stress. There entire system of response is not as efficient. Even their microbes in their gut changes and that sends different signals to their brain. The whole area of science that studies what happens when you age, and why there are age diseases, and what changes as you age and so on. There are many reasons that are starting to be understood why they are more vulnerable. They are more vulnerable to cancer and they are certainly more vulnerable to viral respiratory disease.

You inhale these aerosol particles that are laden with the active pathogen. That’s the main transmission route. It starts in your lungs, the viruses can attack your cells, reproduce and spread. There is a war going on once you get that minimal effective dose. It starts a battle. If you have already had a similar virus, you recognise it and your immune cells are produced to kill the spread. It’s a fight against time. How much energy you can put into responding, metabolic energy, is the key. So if you have a co morbidity problem, you are already using up a lot of your metabolic energy in response to that comorbidity. There is going to be a limit to how much you can do and how quickly you can do it. Therefore that virus is going to be able to invade and really cause serious symptoms or not. Or will you stop it quickly enough or so on? It depends on all of these factors playing together in your body. So comorbidity is really important and age is really important.

In order of importance: age then co morbidity. Age and co morbidity, that’s the killing combination once you get a viral respiratory disease.

BUT it’s always been this way, it’s not just Covid, its viral repertory diseases.

If you look at ‘all cause mortality’ on per week time block basis, it always has a maximum in the winter in mid latitude countries where we live and a trough in the summer. And it goes like that and you can look at records since the second world war where we have had good data. I have written papers about this. It’s a beautifully cyclical pattern. Every once in a while there is a peak in the wrong place and you look and question, ‘what the heck’s going on there?’ like in Paris, France, in 2003 mid-summer, there was a really sharp peak: it was an extreme heat wave.

Generally it’s an extremely regular process and what’s shocking is that pattern is essentially a fingerprint of itself. It’s a fingerprint as you go from one state to the next, one country to the next, but basically it’s the same. All of a sudden this year, the so called ‘Covid peak’, it can be present or be huge or not be there, not be seen at all. And this is NEVER seen.

There is no genetic combination for a virus that make you a viral beast that makes you able to do that. It’s because the external circumstances are different from one place to the next. I am convinced of that.

The virologists like to say that everything is in the virology, the particular genetic sequence of the particular virus. I think that’s a complete exaggeration. There are hundreds and hundreds of these viruses that are coexisting with us the whole time. That are mutating all the time in our bodies. And when the conditions are right in the Winter, when the absolute humidity is low, and they can transmit because the aerosol particles are stable in the air, they stay floating in the air for a long time. Whereas as soon as it gets more humid, they condense water, they drop out, they don’t transmit. These things don’t transmit in the summer or at the equator: it’s humid. That’s why we have them in the mid latitudes, same for southern hemisphere except flipped (our summer is their winter). Its because of the transmission mechanism. We know all this.

This is really well established science which of course the media are not telling us about. Its like our politicians have forced us to completely forget everything that is known about medicine, about viruses, about infections and these transmission routes

‘Let’s just forget all that and now listen to what we will make up from day by day, ok?’ And base it on that. And make little videos and graphs, and we will show you the propaganda that we want to show you and we will just do that.

The main point :
All cause mortality patterns are very regular, always, with some exceptions (but even these are little modulations on it)

BUT, this ‘covid’ event has been a killing field due to how governments have responded and the differences from one jurisdiction to another in terms of their initial conditions. That’s my conclusion.

This is an absolutely brilliant post Dan.
It explains exactly what l have been suspecting all along, but admittedly l don't have the writing skills you clearly do to put the point across, so eloquently.
This is exactly the type of data and information we sceptics must gather and log in order to bring to justice all the corrupt politicians and scientists, across all nations and the WHO, who have created this travesty.

I agree speedstick a great post Dan as you said put into words exactly as I felt from the beginning and still despair at the outright cruelty of the mad lots draconian rules. They tried to hide it at first not including care home deaths. Doctors were not even going to the care homes just issuing death certificates on the word of anyone with the hysteria " she/ he died of the covid". No autopsy and denied medical care. Sent home from hospitals without tests. The mad ones always said we will end the existing care home crisis and future ones as we have an ageing population. Therein lies the answer. Absolutely terrible. I hope all families take law suits ( I think there are a few already) against the government and those idiots responsible are brought to justice and are hed accountable for their crimes. I still do not believe it has been incompetence.i never did.

Thanks Daniel.
In more general terms, apart from the extreme of isolation, removing elderly people from their homes into institutions can have a negative effect on them. I had two neighbours who were having problems mentally, so they went to a care home. Both fell over and broke bones less than six months later and never recovered. Thess two cases happened about four years aoart.
When people can no longer function, interact with or be helpful to others, there can be a loss of the will to live. They become more vulnerable to any illness or injury. They give up.
This youtube interview raises some serious questions. Either the government and their scientists were ignorant of this effect on the elderly, or they knew full well. The latter would be a scary scenario indeed.

I suggest you send this to Toby to include in main site. So much stuff here that lockdown zealots chose to ignore. How long before more ordinary people see the light? The problem is they don't want to know? The truth is too frightful?
