I don't 'know' almost anything, and I am naturally suspicious of people who claim they do.

I have run across a lot of tid-bits of information which seems credible and which are very well explained by the hypothesis that at this point in time there is a political will to make the 'pandemic' as scary as possible, and using shenanigans with reporting is one of the ones which is a very good match.

As an example, when Italy was reporting over 3,000 covid-19 deaths, only three of them were noted in people who had no other known medical condition.  Certain highly qualified medical professionals have pointed out the same thing.

I am not at all adverse to listen to the minority opinion in the medical profession.  It is in fact nearly universal that things which are accepted as medical fact now, such as the importance of sterilizing surgical equipment, were for many years vigorously and viciously rejected by the medical establishment.  This even in the presence of observable and amazing evidence of the 'outcast' doctor's success.
