The Lockdown Dissidents

Video Overview & Insights

During the COVID-19 pandemic, a group of prominent scientists challenged the prevailing government approach to lockdowns. The Lockdown Dissidents tells the story of researchers like Jay Bhattacharya, Scott Atlas, and Robert Redfield—voices who say they were sidelined and censored when they questioned the public health consensus.

Oh, Follow the Fauci was something they thought sounded good. Keep your mouth closed between bites but still crammed people onto metal tubes with recirculating air. The fact that the virus wouldn’t hurt anyone while eating and 6ft apart was ridiculous. People totally fell in line.

I’m not sure what is the greater distance; how much we have traveled in getting the current level of exposure for man in the street awareness of the blood sucking octopus,

or the remaining distance for them to understand just how deep the tentacles?

They accuse those of us who insist on remembering what they did to us and outlr 1st amendment of "holding grudges" or "refusing to forgive".

@PalladiumPictures @wsj @WSJopinion, When it came to the pandemic and the censorship: I remember there was a case called Murthy v. Missouri which went before the Supreme Court.  The Court ruled wrong in this case, by, from what I recall, bending over backwards to not see a consistent pattern of pressure upon social media to censor disfavored views.

After all, the government clearly had the ability to trigger unfavorable outcomes (they could always rework Section 230, or outright repeal Section 230, and Trump had proposed the latter in 2020, by 2025 there was S.3546 and H.R.6746 that aim to do this, and I think Senator Blackburn's TRUMP AMERICA AI Act proposal included/includes(?) provisions to abolish Section 230), which obviously would cross the line into coercion. 

The only Supreme Court justice who's opinion was in alignment with the US Constitution was Samuel Alito. There was actually one Supreme Court Justice, KBJ, who actually expressed dismay that the First Amendment was restricting the government's ability to regulate free-speech (which it is supposed to, actually) and that the government should even pressure platforms to take down harmful information.

How many careers, reputations of high quality physicians and scientists were destroyed after decades of education, training and experience?
And how many people died as a result of our “organizations” leadership that was done through fear and narratives rather than thinking and understanding information and ideas from all qualified individuals.
How many elderly and all patients died alone and isolated?

THOSE WHO DID ARE NOW SCRAMBLING TO ERASE THE DAMAGE THEY DID TO FAMILY, FRIENDS, AND THEIR OWN CHILDREN BECAUSE THEY KOWTOWED TO AUTHORITY OUT OF FEAR OVER LOSING THEIR INDIVIDUAL PATHETIC LIVES. SMFH.

Total nonsense. These shots were designed to kill and to maim people which they did by the millions. Even the inventor of the PCR test said before his convenient death just before "Covid-19", that "my test can never be used to test for a virus"......then boom....dead. So, absolutely no one was infected with anything at all, they were INJECTED with something though. Just read the accounts from VAERS. HORRIFIC. No one is in jail which means you are ALL INVOLVED. Another thing that happened right before all this was The Georgia Guidestones EXPLODED. The 1st of the new commandments written in stone and placed there 40 YEARS before, is to "maintain the earth's population at 500 million." These people are not done yet, but they kill as many as they can through wars and slow kill operations such as poisoning your food, poisoning you through allopathic medicine, by spraying you all day every day through chemtrails, through fluoridation of water, etc. The are Freemasons and you get injected for a free donut.

@cassandratq9301

Closing places where contagion is high- such as schools and bars + restaurants - is not "lock-downs". Because the U.S. did too little - not too much - we had the highest per capita death rate in the developed world.

The final statement in this is the most chilling:
Americans generally don't want to look back at Covid, ,most of us would rather forget and return to normal life but we need to remember, not just move on. Next crisis, will we defend freedom of speech, especially in science. We the people are responsible for guarding all of our unalienable rights no matter who runs the government or what excuse they give.

The weight of evidence in April 2020 was clear and unequivocal: sars cov 2 was not deadly, not dangerous, and certainly no existential threat to society. The weight of evidence was unequivocal, lockdown was 'RECOMMEMDED against'. The science was clear, stay at home orders, shelter in place, and quarantine of healthy people was 'recommended against' . Closure of schools and business was 'recommended against'. The WHO and UK health service (as well as most others) classed the corona virus as a non-critical virus and pandemic guidelines for viruses like that were crystal clear in 2020, "track and trace should never be used". The way PCR tests were used was sheer quackery and is known in medicine as disease mongering. We debunked the "covid" nonsense day in and day out in early 2020. We are now in 2026, and no reasonable standard of "pandemic" has been met at any point to date. This was proven repeatedly in 2020, and the powers that be just kept sweeping it under the table. Watch the 2 hour presentation from the president of the American "nudge unit" to see how the science had nothing to do with the lockdowns; they were just concerned about compliance. It was a fire drill, an experiment. This was also well understood by people with access to the data and an IQ more than double digits. The scamdemic, and it was a fraud, was simply a pandemic of mis-categorization and mis-attribution. There was no significant increased mortality or morbidity from "covid" and without a multitrillion dollar marketing campaign, no one would have noticed more than a short-lived flu season . The way the data has been manipulated the term "covid" is meaningless. Serious people will be looking at "why" people were following this hoax. I assume it was a social engineering experiment and the beginning of an economic restructuring. Nevertheless, the people and governments supporting the lockdowns should be looked at the same way Nazi brownshirts are. This is a warning that modern corporate government partnerships involved in healthcare are as bad or worse as the banking and business institutions that worked with the Germans in the 1930's and 40's. Sounds harsh, but there is an argument for it. I am not blaming the 80 percent of the population who are NPCs and who were just trying to do the right thing. I am blaming the institutions that planned and ran the lockdowns, this was not a "reaction" to a virus but an organizaed well planned event. I am blaming doctors who refused to speak up and who took the money. Any doctor who thought sitting in the basement with a diaper on their head waiting for a jab to be develooed forr the reketively mild non critical sars cov 2 virus should fold up their licenses and send them back to their governing bodies.

Fauci-The same Guy who said you can catch AIDS from a cereal Box while doing Hands On research at Bath Houses
Florida--where all the politicians from lockdown states went on their unmasked vacations
Did we Learn our Lesson from Covid is like asking did we Learn our Lesson from Authoritarian National Socialist Leftist Adolf whom Leftist Historians now try to reframe as Far-right. How long before Historians say the Far-Right did the Covid lock-downs? Far Right by the way is just people that believe in a Maximum amount of Freedom with a minimum amount of Government and Taxation and One set of laws equally applied to everybody.

So, they're going after biolabs and Fauci, which are the right things to do.
However, the pandemic raise many more questions they'd rather not talk about.
Like ... why were hospitals empty during a pandemic?
Like ... why was there no influenza during the pandemic ?
Like ... why were the PCR Ct values not fixed?
Like ... why was the world economy stopped ?
Like ... those early deaths, were they because of treatment ?
Like ... was there even a pandemic , or was it a PCR pandemic?
Like ... was it only a two year long advertisement to introduce mRNA vaccines ?
Like ... with curfews and border closings, was it also a military exercise?
Like ...

People have the m ed memories of goldfish. Spain, Italy Ecuador, there were countries that were hit so hard that they were leaving the dead out in the street.
In the beginning the facts about morbidity and mortality we’re just Unknown???. The data had not yelled yet. The problem with the lockdown or the mask mandates was the compliance was so bad in the United States that it became essentially ineffectual. Places that did do comprehensive lockdowns got through the worst of it in a relatively short period of time and then got back to business as usual. How long did they lockdown New Zealand?
1 million people died ho hum.
The way that scientific debate was stifle was deplorable, but don’t pretend that you guys weren’t playing politics as well.

None of it was possible without the compliance of the masses, including frothing at the mouth and bullying those who knew better.
