"Nobody Is Safe!"

The Unholy COVID-19 Nightmare

“No one is safe until everyone is safe,” said the former CDC director, now pharma executive, Dr. Julie Gerberding in her 2020 testimony on U.S. Covid Response. The serving CDC Director Rochelle Wilensky repeated the line in her own testimony: “No one is safe until everyone is safe.” These leaders of the CDC—“the nation’s leading science-based” public health organization—were spreading medical misinformation.

The false promise behind the phrase was that if everyone in the world were injected with a vaccine (that didn’t even exist when these claims were first made), everyone would be safe; otherwise, “None of us are safe,” as World Health Organization (WHO) Director General put it. But the truth was that most people—over 99% of us—were safe, and would defeat COVID without a vax.

Adding insult to injury, the COVID vax did not, does not, and will not stop the virus from spreading, as originally advertised. Nevertheless, for three years, the “Nobody is safe” disinformation campaign replicated from the mouths of media personalities and authority figures in government.

“No one’s safe until everyone’s safe.”

The slogan seems to have been first spread on March 25, 2020, by leaders from both the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations (UN). “Nobody is safe until everybody is safe,” said UN emergency aid coordinator Mark Lowcock. “Nobody is safe until we are all safe,” said WHO executive director Dr. Michael J. Ryan.

The WHO illustrated the COVID-19 virus as an attack of both sea monsters and sharks biting swimmers’ legs and dragging them underwater as submerged human hands desperately reach for help. “Nobody is safe until everyone is safe,” said the WHO’s “Jaws” inspired video.

“Nobody is safe until everyone is safe,” said the WHO’s “equitable distribution sea monster poster”.

Across the media landscape, the already hyperbolic phrase was often cut short to “Nobody is safe.”

By August 2021, NPR’s Tamara Keith told CBS News that the phrase had “almost become cliche”.

While the world was told “Nobody is safe from COVID-19” the actual infection fatality rate (IFR) was less than 0.5%. In other words, the natural immune systems of approximately 99.5% would conquer the original Alpha COVID variant without a vaccine. For children, the risk of dying is 0.0%. But the constant “Nobody is safe” mantras led citizens to believe the virus was more deadly than it actually was, spreading a man-made pandemic: a hyperpolarizing pandemic of fear.

“Two Americas” was a phrase used by Martin Luther King Jr. to describe the wealth disparity in the United States. During the COVID-19 pandemic, when wealth disparity expanded more than at any other time in history, the phrase was used repeatedly by Dr. Fauci to designate society into two new castes: good “vaccinated” citizens and dangerous untouchables deemed “the unvaccinated”.

“We have two Americas,” Dr. Fauci said. “An unvaccinated at-risk America and a vaccinated America.” While the universally respected preacher MLK sought to bring America together, COVID-vaccinated preachers called for a war on the “other America,” based not on science as claimed but a disturbing new religious faith.

Looking Back on the Sadism of the Covid-19 Shaming Campaign

“The vaccine is from God to us,” preached Governor Kathy Hochul in a New York church. She told the congregation, “I know you’re vaccinated. You’re the smart ones. But you know [the unvaccinated] aren’t listening to God and what God wants.”

Vaccinated evangelist Rachel Maddow read from the Detroit Free Press, urging her MSNBC congregation to join the holy war against COVID: “We’re seeking to enlist you in a benevolent conspiracy…to join the unfinished war against COVID-19”. According to the Gospel of the Vaccinated, the only way to win the war and stop the spread was to get vaccinated.

This was a new virus and a new vaccine, and so by default, everyone was guilty of the original sin of being unvaccinated. As CNN’s Erin Burnett said, the pandemic was a result of “the sins of the unvaccinated”. Moreover, she explained, “If everyone were vaccinated, we wouldn’t have this issue.” The only way to be saved was to let down their defenses and let the holy vaccine penetrate them.

“You have to get vaccinated. That’s the only way to end it.”

- Dr. Catherine O’Neal, CNN (7/16/21)

“We’re only going to put an end to the pandemics and these variants once we achieve the plan to vaccinate everyone.”

- Michael Sheldrick, CNN (12/04/21)

“We can still end the pandemic but the only way it’s going to happen is to vaccinate our way through this.”

- Dr. Peter Hotez, CNN (9/8/21)

This pharma-funded narrative allowed American vaccine consumers to picture themselves as invincible heroes fighting off the unvaccinated hordes. Unlike the filthy unvaccinated, the vaccinated saw themselves as a clean and superior race of Americans. “Vaccinated people don’t transmit COVID-19,” wrote Fortune Magazine.

It was all a lie. The spread never stopped, because the spread never could stop, because the vaccine didn’t stop transmission. In fact, the vaccine trials hadn’t even tested whether the vaccines prevented transmission. The mainstream media scarcely shared that information. One could have done their own research but this was discouraged as a sinful act.

According to CNN, “doing your own research” was a “problem” that was “hurting” America. The New York Times said they were “not necessarily” telling people to not “do your own research” yet associated the phrase “do your own research” with dreaded “conspiracy theory circles”. The Conversation wrote “‘Doing your own research’ doesn’t work”; therefore, according to Forbes, “You Must Not “Do Your Own Research’”.

Even comedians, who’ve traditionally questioned authority, were laughing at ordinary citizens for asking questions. “Don’t do any of your own research,” shouted Jeff Garlin of ABC’s “The Goldbergs” without a hint of humor. Other authoritarian court jesters include Comedy Central’s “Daily Show” host Trevor Noah; ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel; and “The Simpsons” Co-Executive Producer Dana Gould.

Traditionally one was encouraged to ask a doctor before undergoing a new treatment. But in the COVID-19 era, doctors discouraged questions. In fact, according to FactCheck.org’s expert Dr. Paul Offit, asking a question about the vaccine was “the worst thing” people could say.

Scientific inquiry had become heresy. “Trust the science,” they said. “Nobody is safe.”
