A Thought Experiment

On covid19 reflection day, perhaps you will join me in a little experiment in critical thinking

Is it technically possible for a government to employ psychological manipulation to scare the population into believing that a non-existant new pathogen is killing people in large numbers?

This isnt a question about motives, just a question about the power of propaganda.

To do so, I suggest that the following steps would need to be taken:
• Restrict assembly so that people cannot easily share. information about the pathogen.
• Engineer a high initial death rate associated with the virus.
• Blame the new pathogen for the high death rate.
• Remove certain safeguards to make it easier for deaths to be attributed to the new pathogen
• Report that hospitals are overloaded with patients suffering from the new pathogen.
• Make available a test kit for the new pathogen that records a high rate of false positives.
• Declare that recipients of false positive tests are ‘asymptomatic carriers / transmitters’.
• Silence / censor experts who have alternative explanations for what is going on and how it is being handled.
• Instigate round-the-clock fear propaganda via nudge units and media


Entirely by accident, the UK government took all of the steps described above.


High initial death rate:
The mortality rate for 2020 was unexceptional. The only mortality spike occurred in March / April which coincided with elderly and vulnerable people  with complex health issues people being denied hospital care while in care homes:

We also know that there was excessive over-use of ‘Do Not Resuccitate’ notices at this time:

Plus, the NHS was using midazolam like it was going out of fashion:

As a result of these factors, deaths in care homes were 195% higher in April 2020 compared to the previous 5 year average.


Plus, doctors were encouraged to add c19 to the death certificate if there was any suspicion that c19 could have been a factor. This would have artificially boosted the c19 death toll.

Remove safeguards:
The process for death certification was relaxed so that only 1 doctor needed to sign the death certificate and, as long as the notes had been read, the doctor did not need to have seen the patient.

Also, jury inquests into deaths were suspended:

Hospitals are overloaded:

Contrary to what we were told, figures show that hospitals were the quietest in living memory.
In the 3 months of April to June, hospital bed occupancy was 63% (34,140 empty beds)

Hence, all those TikTok videos of dancing medical staff.



Pathogen test kit:

The PCR test is not a diagnostic tool. It can find a gene sequence it is looking for but it cannot determine whether the sequence is active nor inactive. Nor can it determine if the viral sequence exists in sufficient quantities to make you ill. Plus, countries were accused of turning up the PCR amplication up to over 40 cycles which makes the test highly sensitive. Kary Mullis, the inventor of PCR, said:

“with PCR you can find anything in anything”.

Using PCR tests with a high amplication rate is guaranteed to produce high numbers of positive cases which led to the interpretation of ‘asymptomatic transmission’.

I’m not saying that is what happened. I’m merely asking, as an exercise in Critical Thinking, if a government could fake a pandemic.

I suspect it is technically possible and we must always be alert to that possibility.
