#1 Yes, exactly. This is the same conclusion that honest and expert epidemiologists around the world have come to -- like this one:

"As long as the majority of infections are among the healthy, the more dangerous variants circulating among some of the bedridden will be outnumbered and will become evolutionary dead ends.

"But when public health officials intentionally restricted spread among the young, strong, and healthy members of society by imposing lockdowns, they created a set of evolutionary conditions that risked shifting the competitive evolutionary advantage from the least dangerous variants to more dangerous variants. By locking us all up, they risked making the virus more dangerous over time. "

#2 More common sense from the above author at Briwnstobe.org:

"...fear mongering about the Delta variant being even more contagious leaves out the fact that this is exactly what you would expect as a respiratory virus adapts to its new host species. We would expect new variants to be more contagious but less deadly as the virus fades to become just like the other 200+ respiratory viruses that cause common colds and flus.

"That’s also why the decision to lock down the healthy population is so sinister. Lockdowns, border closures, and social distancing rules reduced spread among the healthy population, thus creating a situation where mutations produced among the healthy would become sufficiently rare that they might be outnumbered by mutations circulating among the bedridden. Mutations circulating among the healthy are, by definition, going to be the least dangerous mutations since they did not make their hosts sick enough to confine them to bedrest. That’s precisely the variants you want to spread in order to drown out competition from more dangerous mutations. "

#3 Our betters are never bothered by unintended consequences or adverse outcomes from the never-ending quest for power. Often it's seen as a feature, not a bug.

#4 Thanks for the extracts at #1 and #2. Thanks also for the Brownstone link.

My interests now are centered around specific origins. Not a great deal of Open Source data available there.

#5 I submitted a report to the 'Burg a week or so ago about the outbreak in Traverse City Michigan among 34 long term care residents, all of whom were vaccinated against COVID-19 (but hadn't yet received boosters). 5 died, multiple others received monoclonal antibody infusions.
I posted this on my FB page. Not a single one of my FB friends ever saw it. My post was censored by FB in a particularly sneaky way, it was probably conflicting with their favorite narrative.

Unintended... yet entirely predictable.

#8 

Now that there is a break in the levee, suddenly professional people are willing to step forward and state the facts. An get notoriety for doing so.

Where were they 18+ months ago, when others were losing their jobs, exiled and being called deep fringe lunatics for the speaking the SAME truth?

I have more respect for those back in 2020, than any Johnny coming lately.

#9 I did a name search on Professor Risch, NN2N1. He first appears in the Rantburg archives in June 2020, fifteen months ago.

#10 Prof. John Ioannidis of Stanford said this thing wasn't terribly lethal back in March 2020.

He shortly thereafter set up and ran a study in Santa Clara County CA that demonstrated this -- and was promptly defenestated by >1,000 faculty, staff and assorted jackals. They falsely accused Dr. Ioannidis of being a stooge for Big Pharma (talk about projection). He's been quiet since -- effectively silenced.
