Maybe you have some sense that something fishy is going on? Same. If it’s not one thing, it’s another.
Coronavirus lived on surfaces until it didn’t. Masks didn’t work until they did, then they did not. There is asymptomatic transmission, except there isn’t. Lockdowns work to control the virus except they do not. All these people are sick without symptoms until, whoops, PCR (polymerase chain reaction) tests are wildly inaccurate because they were never intended to be diagnostic tools. Everyone is in danger of the virus except they aren’t. It spreads in schools except it doesn’t.
On it goes. Daily. It’s no wonder that so many people have stopped believing anything that “public health authorities” say. In combination with governors and other autocrats doing their bidding, they set out to take away freedom and human rights and expected us to thank them for saving our lives. At some point this year (for me it was March 12) life began feeling like a dystopian novel of your choice.
Well, now I have another piece of evidence to add to the mile-high pile of fishy mess. The World Health Organization (WHO), for reasons unknown, has suddenly changed its definition of a core conception of immunology: herd immunity. Its discovery was one of the major achievements of 20th century science, gradually emerging in the 1920s and then becoming ever more refined throughout the 20th century.
Herd immunity is a fascinating observation that you can trace to biological reality or statistical probability theory, whichever you prefer. (It is certainly not a “strategy” so ignore any media source that describes it that way.) Herd immunity speaks directly, and with explanatory power, to the empirical observation that respiratory viruses are either widespread and mostly mild (common cold) or very severe and short-lived (SARS-CoV-1).
Why is this? The reason is that when a virus kills its host—that is, when a virus overtaxes the body’s ability to integrate it, its host dies and so the virus does not spread to others. The more this occurs, the less it spreads. If the virus doesn’t kill its host, it can hop to others through all the usual means. When you get a virus and fight it off, your immune system encodes that information in a way that builds immunity to it. When it happens to enough people (and each case is different so we can’t put a clear number on it, especially given so many cross immunities) the virus loses its pandemic quality and becomes endemic, which is to say predictable and manageable. Each new generation incorporates that information through more exposure.
This is what one would call Virology/Immunology 101. It’s what you read in every textbook. It’s been taught in 9th grade cell biology for probably 80 years. Observing the operations of this evolutionary phenomenon is pretty wonderful because it increases one’s respect for the way in which human biology has adapted to the presence of pathogens without absolutely freaking out.
And the discovery of this fascinating dynamic in cell biology is a major reason why public health became so smart in the 20th century. We kept calm. We managed viruses with medical professionals: doctor/patient relationships. We avoided the Medieval tendency to run around with hair on fire but rather used rationality and intelligence. Even The New York Times recognizes1 that natural immunity is powerful with COVID-19, which is not in the least bit surprising.
Until one day, this strange institution called the World Health Organization—once glorious because it was mainly responsible for the eradication of smallpox—has suddenly decided to delete everything I just wrote from cell biology basics. It has literally changed the science in a Soviet-like way. It has removed with the delete key any mention of natural immunities from its website. It has taken the additional step of actually mischaracterizing the structure and functioning of vaccines.
So that you will believe me, I will try to be as precise as possible. Here is the website from June 9, 2020. You can see it here on Archive.org. You have to move down the page and click on the question about herd immunity. You see the following.
That’s pretty darn accurate overall. Even the statement that the threshold is “not yet clear” is correct. There are cross immunities to COVID from other coronaviruses and there is T cell memory that contributes to natural immunity.
Some estimates are as low as 10 percent, which is a far cry from the modelled 70 percent estimate of virus immunity that is standard within the pharmaceutical realm. Real life is vastly more complicated than models, in economics or epidemiology. The WHO’s past statement is a solid, if “pop,” description.
However, in a screenshot2 dated Nov. 13, 2020, we read the following note that somehow pretends as if human beings do not have immune systems at all but rather rely entirely on big pharma to inject things into our blood.
In effect, this change at WHO ignores and even wipes out 100 years of medical advances in virology, immunology, and epidemiology. It is thoroughly unscientific—shilling for the vaccine industry in exactly the way the conspiracy theorists say that WHO has been doing since the beginning of this pandemic.
What’s even more strange is the claim that a vaccine protects people from a virus rather than exposing them to it. What’s amazing about this claim is that a vaccine works precisely by firing up the immune system through exposure. Why I had to type those words is truly beyond me. This has been known for centuries. There is simply no way for medical science completely to replace the human immune system. It can only game it via what used to be called inoculation.
Take from this what you will. It is a sign of the times. For nearly a full year, the media has been telling us that “science” requires that we comply with their dictates that run contrary to every tenet of liberalism, every expectation we’ve developed in the modern world that we can live freely and with the certainty of rights. Then “science” took over and our human rights were slammed. And now the “science” is actually deleting its own history, airbrushing over what it used to know and replacing it with something misleading at best and patently false at worst.
I cannot say why, exactly, the WHO did this. Given the events of the past nine or ten months, however, it is reasonable to assume that politics are at play. Since the beginning of the pandemic, those who have been pushing lockdowns and hysteria over the coronavirus have resisted the idea of natural herd immunity, instead insisting that we must live in lockdown until a vaccine is developed.
That is why the Great Barrington Declaration, written by three of the world’s preeminent epidemiologists and which advocated embracing the phenomenon of herd immunity as a way of protecting the vulnerable and minimizing harms to society, was met with such venom. Now we see the WHO, too, succumbing to political pressure. This is the only rational explanation for changing the definition of herd immunity that has existed for the past century.
The science has not changed; only the politics have. And that is precisely why it is so dangerous and deadly to subject virus management to the forces of politics. Eventually the science too bends to the duplicitous character of the political industry.
When the existing textbooks that students use in college contradict the latest official pronouncements from the authorities during a crisis in which the ruling class is clearly attempting to seize permanent power, we’ve got a problem.
The WHO recently changed it definition3 yet again, to incorporate the obvious reality of natural immunity.

Herd Immunity is a MYTH that the public at large doesn’t understand and has NEVER questioned. Also many Drs don’t understand it. If it was a genuine scientific fact the CDC would not keep moving the goalpost as to how to achieve it via vaccines, which by the way was not the intent of the original study which is based on a natural disease process. Dr. Tetyana Obukhanych wrote on her blog years ago that Herd Immunity is not a scientifically validated concept, it is not an immunologic idea, but rather an epidemiological construct and cannot be applied to vaccinated communities.
A little background:
The herd immunity theory was originally coined in 1933 by a researcher named A.W.Hedrich. His study was based on the Measles virus. He had been studying measles patterns in the US between 1900-1931 (years before any vaccine was ever invented for measles) and he observed that epidemics of the illness only occurred when less than 68% of children had developed a natural immunity to it. This was based upon the principle that children build their own immunity after suffering with or being exposed to the disease. So the herd immunity theory was, in fact, about natural disease processes and nothing to do with vaccination. If 68% of the population were allowed to build their own natural defenses, there would be no raging epidemic. Later on, vaccinologists adopted the phrase and increased the figure from 68% to 95% with no scientific justification as to why, and now stated that there had to be 100% vaccine coverage to achieve herd immunity. Essentially, they took Hedrich’s study and manipulated it to promote their vaccination programs. Essentially Herd Immunity will never be achieved via vaccination because in order for the immune system to kick in the natural infection route which is the Nasopharyngeal pathway has to be involved. Injections do not stimulate this very important process.
In 1995, Golding and Scott, published the need for strategies to make vaccines that would generate the “required” Th cell to the corresponding microorganism. Since that time, attempts to produce vaccines that would generate a “natural”- type response have failed. So, we are left with vaccines that generate “protective” responses as a second choice. How does this work? In vaccine-induced Th2 responses, called humoral responses, the body produces large quantities of specific antibodies that block the virus from entering cells. This
response is why a vaccinated child doesn’t get a full blown infection and why the child won’t spread as many viruses into the environment. However, antibodies cannot get into cells to eliminate viruses once the viruses are in the cells or cannot kill infected cells themselves. Therefore, the body has no choice other than to internalize the virus and be chronically infected when the body is forced into a Th2 antibody response. The body is essentially constipated with viruses that it cannot expel!
To suppress this natural response can be as hazardous to our health as suppressing waste elimination from the bowel or toxin release from the skin. Natural Th1 responses generate cell-mediated responses that serve to both neutralize viruses by producing antibodies and most importantly stimulate the immune cells necessary to kill any cells infected with viruses. The body works to externalize and eliminate viruses when the Th1 response is generated. So we understand now that when a Th2 response is induced, “it drives the infection deeper into the interior and causes us to harbor it chronically.” It is commonly held that the presence of antibody to viruses is a sign of a chronic on-going infection not a sign of immunity. Our bodies generally need to have Th1 cells to defend against viral, Gram-negative bacterial, and fungal infections, and tuberculosis, as well as to protect against cancer. Th2 response is necessary to protect against Gram-positive bacterial, parasitic infections, as well
as to neutralize toxins from microorganisms and the environment. A balance of Th1/Th2 cells in the body is defined as immunostasis (or immune balance) and is required for optimum health and wellness. Vaccines promote a failure in immunostasis by making the Th2-type cells dominant.

Thank you
Thank you
I didn’t know this about the Th1 and Th2 cells
After reading your post, I have an even deeper understanding of our beautiful immune system and how precise it truly is.
RED PILL supporter 😉
Follow the money. The WHO is sponsored by Big Pharma I suppose? Instead of damaging the body, doctors should build up that immunity providing organism that is our own body. There are plenty of herbal remedies to fortify us. For the people who died from the vaccines it is too late. Over 500 succumbed to Big Pharma already, and from all these hundredthousands that died from the virus, probably a lot died because doctors gave them antibiotics, which don’t help for viruses. But lots of doctors still try to sell them to you. Poor world. I think the so called Dark Middle Ages did better. And people still look up at doctors as saviors. Poor people.
We are being manipulated by global power, a significant spokesperson being Bill Gates. The WHO is clearly part of this power, and I have never trusted them for that reason. Pharma, CDC, WHO, BigTech, BioTech, BigFood, BigOil, BigGun, BigAg, Disney, all part of this power grab that we are now experiencing. Humanity has lost its way……all because of GREED.
So, have I been censored? On THIS site? OMG.
Kathy, I can see your post.
Still worse, there’s the possibility that the CV-19 “virus” has never been isolated, much less tested against Koch’s Postulates to see if it’s actually infectious. There’s also the possibility that NO virus has been so isolated-and-tested, to date. It’s also likely that CV-19 is just a reaction to 5G.
Now, calculate how much power and money the technofascists would LOSE if those hypotheses were ALLOWED to be tested, and debated in public….
“there’s the possibility that the CV-19 “virus” has never been isolated”
Please read. Jemery has throughy investigated this claim:
No, the CDC Did Not Admit That SARS-CoV-2 Has Not Been Isolated

Red pill: that is fascinating and very informative!! I have read that antiviral treatments, such as Acyclovir/ gancyclivir etc, actually drive viruses deeper into our tissues as u described, being “ dormant” for a time but always a potential threat to our systems. We shouldn’t test positive for viruses! Our bodies should be able to clear them. Omg I was taught in nursing school that these tests just showed that we recovered from the viral infection, but according to what u r saying, if our T cells are healthy, we shouldn’t harbor these viruses in our systems. It’s my belief that naturopathic practitioners and functional medicine can help clear our bodies of these dormant viruses with food and targeted supplementation, as well as lifestyle modifications (“ let good be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.” Hypocrites)
Stanley Plotkin admitted in a paper on measles in 2019 that the A genotype vaccine was not effective against the circulating strains of measles-B3 & D8. There are to date 23 different Measles clads or genotypes listed to date on the CDC website. The vaccine in distribution is only genotype A. In fact he even admitted that the vaccine gives the individual an ATTUNEATED INFECTION. That was the first time I have read a statement from a member of the vaccine cartel admitting that the virus in a vaccine GIVES a person an infection-weak or otherwise. It’s always been denied. If the person is infected-they are contagious. Bouncing from that being that the person was injected with a virus rather than obtaining it natural via the Nasopharyngeal pathway, immunity is downgraded to a protective response Th2, rather than an Immune response Th1. The Th2 response causes the body to drive the infection (Virus) deeper into the interior and causes us to harbor it chronically. As Golding & Scott state: the body is essentially constipated with viruses that it cannot expel!
I have this theory based on what Golding & Scott, who were FDA researchers, wrote, a child or adult vaccinated at some point in their life carries in their cell’s different viruses. When that child or adult immune system is compromised by a cold, the flu or something else, there is a potential for the deeply harbored viruses to become reactivated and cause the person to develop-measles, chicken pox. This could account for outbreaks of these illness where the origins of an outbreak cannot be found. Just a thought.
Is There a Correlate of Protection for Measles Vaccine?

Oops: let food by thy medicine..
{NOTICE: There’s never been any evidence WHO is competent or honest. They normally favor dictators & Communists—particularly China, as does the voting in the U.N.—which should have been closed, generations back. But they need western money. WHO is a medical arm of the U.N.}
{Remember, the so-called “international” & “world” organizations* have no actual powers, except by treaties—between countries. That’s why the U.N. stopped working well, as the dictators and communists gained more power—through their votes for financial backing, most of which the “western” countries pay. AND Agenda21 globalist communitarians love it, to hobble USA. IT’S A REASON Pres. THE Donald J. T-RUMP SHOULD’ve ENDED OUR “Memberships”—though now we see Slow-Joe-Hair-Sniffing Biden undoing every financial, social, politically-conservative & sensible thing his godless-communist base wants (e.g., NY + CA). Will we finally reach hyperinflation?}
WHO marches to Gates tune since he provides a great chunk of their funding. And Gates is anti-humanity because he believes that we are polluting HIS planet.
Ya, everything is getting deleted.
Oh man, part of it got me lost. I couldn’t follow everything what Mr Tucker has written. It makes me feel idiot. Thanks Mr. Tucker.
This article should contain the quotes (or relevant parts) from the website archive and from now. It makes it hard to follow by referencing them but not including them.
My sentiments exactly.
What for me sets this site apart from most others is that in general the articles are thoroughly referenced, so I can see actual evidence instead of just placing blind fate in yet another news outlet: if I wanted blind fate I’d read the mainstream media exclusively.
Unfortunately, this article really dropped ball when it comes to living up to the standard of other articles in this site.
WHO is basically owned by Chinese communists. When Trump cut their funding China stepped in. Keep in mind, anything WHO says is communist propaganda designed to gain revenge on the west for colonization and the opium trade.
Oh, and guess where big pharma is making these experimental countermeasures? Chinese factories. Entire “plandemic” was used to destroy President Trump and get Biden into power. Beijing is also bankrolling Biden’s family and the DNC.
I think Dems are going to be in quite a shock in 2022. Turns out it’s not popular to send people to death camps, even if those camps are locking people in their own homes and destroying their livelihoods forever.
Finally, no healthy person should wear a mask, ever. No unhealthy person should wear a mask, ever. End of story.
Antibodies are not specific. That’s seems to be a necessary lie that the hoaxsters will rely upon going forward (invariants are coming!). I don’t buy herd immunity if by that you are talking about herd immunity from viruses. I don’t accept the concept of virus. Herd immunity? Yes. That comes from health communities where people have good social services, healthy, organic food, reduced stress and peace and security. Period.
And no, You will never convince me that the hoaxsters believe that they have isolated and purified the virus. Christine Massey put that fairy tale to rest, whatever CDC said or didn’t say. Look closely. Isolated means ‘separate’ from all else so that what you’re isolating is all alone and can be studied and characterized (described). Virologists’ definition of ‘isolate’ involves doing the exact opposite. Please.
