Editor’s Note: This is the final part of a two-part series. You can read Part 1 here on independence Daily.

The immune system consists of two well-known parts, the innate and adaptive systems. Most medics will know this because it is still being taught this way. In fact, there are other significant operative sections, the Interferon System, The Micro Biome, and the Neuro System. As I said earlier it is immensely complex.

When an infection enters the body the first respondent is the innate system. Macrophages attack the virus, neutralise (phagocytose) it and obliterate it. If this initial process fails, the (Corona Virus in this case) infects the epithelial cells of the lungs but the efforts of the macrophages continue and shatter the spike proteins thereby creating antigens from which the immune system can create antibodies. In a sense, the first line of defence failed but a message was sent for the antibody army to be brought into the battle.

Many people will be able to neutralise the virus through the initial macrophage attack, thereby defeating the infection without the need for antigens or antibodies. However, a vaccine by-passes this entire operation based upon a primitive understanding of immune response and as a result the consequences of short-circuiting the natural immune system will be unpredictable.

As of now, there is no plan to measure the effectiveness of, or the damage caused by, this vaccine. This is, in itself, inexplicable, but there is one very formidable reason as to why nobody is pursuing these questions.

The pharmaceutical industry is losing money on a grand scale. It is expensive to bring a drug to market and recouping costs is becoming impossible. Add to that the problem of developing effective drugs and it’s clear that the decline cannot be stopped. However, vaccines are the saviour, they can be marketed under a much more relaxed regulatory regime and they are very profitable. Bill Gates, the largest vaccine manufacturer in the world speaks openly of a 20 to 1 return on investment.

For years he (Gates) has also spoken openly about worldwide vaccination programs. He has his fingers (via funding) in every health organisation in the world. So, what more appropriate than a pandemic with the only solution being a vaccine?

So, what should we have done?

The one fundamental question that nobody has ever asked is ‘why do pandemics go away’? They all do, in the sense that they are no longer pandemics. The causal factors don’t, because former viruses and bacterial infections still exist. Scarlet Fever, at one time killed more children than all the other childhood illnesses put together, yet now that morbidity is a long distant memory. It still exists, in about 10%-15% of schoolchildren, but it does no harm. So why is that?

Why did the H1N1 pandemic of 2009 go away? What about the H3N2 pandemic of 1968? What about all the Influenza outbreaks that occur every few years? Why did they all end, why are they not still dangerous?

The answer to these questions leads us back once more to our immune system, probably better called our defensive system, because it is that which determines the degree of our individual resilience to infection.

We cannot outrun or hide from an infectious pathogen. An entire year in one form of lockdown or another has made no difference. Masks have made no difference. That is blindingly obvious, because Sweden did none of these things yet the patterns of infections and mortality in every country is almost identical. Overall mortality even more so in its trends. Clearly, lockdowns and masks haven’t helped but instead made things unbelievably worse.

If you can’t escape the virus, what else is there to do? How about defend against it?

It’s important to understand that the immune system is a wonder to behold. If it is in good working order these mild infections, like Corona Virus will be only an irritant at worst. However, if it isn’t working well any infection can be fatal. In a sense this is normal. As one gets older things do not work as well, in particular thyroid function diminishes as does immune response. Death is normal and is often brought about by infection in a body that is just not strong enough to resist. That is simply how things work and one can’t change that inevitability.

However, you can strengthen your immune system at any age, by maintaining an appropriate vitamin balance, healthy living, exercise, socialising, stress reduction, beaches, sunshine and freedom.

The immune system requires a lot of energy. That’s one reason why, when clobbered, by a nasty flu, for example, one’s energy is drained, one can’t get out of bed and the reason is that your immune system has diverted as much of your available energy as it can to fight the infection. Stress also inhibits immune response. People having organ transplants are injected with stress hormones to inhibit immune system response and prevent organ rejection. Stressed, unhappy, depressed people have weak immune systems and are extremely vulnerable to disease.

The reality is that lockdown inhibits the very activities we need to lighten stress, masks prevent socialising and separate people when we need to be together. In a breathtakingly stupid move, golf courses are closed when such exercise and normal socialising are beneficial to immune health and in an environment where people are usually hundreds of yards apart.

In winter we all suffer vitamin D3 deficiency, yet it is critical in warding off this virus. Vitamin health and other natural remedies have been lost in the age of chemical interventions. Even if this vaccination worked, even if we had a definition of what worked actually meant, it isn’t needed, it never was.

Education, truth, freedom and health are the weapons to fight the virus, but it’s much less certain as to how we can effectively fight the totalitarian regime deliberately destroying our lives and futures.
