    About this ebook

    Dissenting Voices—an Imprint of Abundant World Institute—is dedicated to helping create and foster the conditions that enable human flourishing and abundance everywhere. To these ends, we seek to inspire, inform, educate, encourage, enable, and support the application of critical thinking, imagination, and innovation to global challenges. Today, the COVID-19 pandemic is one global grand challenge that is on everyone's mind, and is likely to remain so for the foreseeable future. It is a topic rife with confusion, fear, misinformation, competing agendas, and toxic politicization—all of which confound efforts at reaching anything resembling consensus on strategies and solutions. The new eBook, COVID-19: A Devil's Choice, helps us to make sense of it all. The product of intense investigations by award-winning author, technologist, and futurist, John Schroeter, the book is informed by respected medical professionals, documents provided by WHO, the CDC, and other original sources that validate the book's surprising, counterintuitive, and sometimes shocking findings. The book reveals not only the little-reported science related to the coronavirus, but the irreconcilable goals of various groups vying to capitalize on the pandemic to advance their respective objectives. Equally important, it shows that we have a choice about which version of the future will ultimately prevail, and precisely how a pandemic can be exploited to further well-meaning but misguided, or even nefarious, ends.Presented in 100 succinctly-stated arguments or points, A Devil's Choice illuminates the true nature of the coronavirus pandemic, who and what is behind it, what we can expect, and what we can do. The book concludes with an extensive Q&A with Jane M. Orient, M.D., executive director of the American Association of Physicians and Surgeons.Dr. Sanjiv Chopra, Professor of Medicine and former Faculty Dean Continuing Education, Harvard Medical School, says, John Schroeter has just brilliantly succeeded in [this] venture. Kudos to him for masterfully penning this. This a must read. I was most informed and inspired. Dr. Simon Thornley, Public Health Physician, lecturer and researcher in the section of Epidemiology and Biostatistics at The University of Auckland, NZ, adds, In this thoughtful book, John Schroeter does an excellent job of distilling the science that is not being heard. It is a much needed counter to the doomsday narrative that we've all been fed. This book gives me renewed hope for our future. David L. Katz, MD, says of the book, The paths to total harm minimization are illuminated by thinking past the simplistic reflexive responses, considering options both intuitive and otherwise. Well informed consensus is good; premature consensus is the death of insight.Professor Karol Sikora, MA, PhD, concludes, John's text illuminates the clear path forward. Let's follow the path he plots and move forward in a safe and yet ambitious way.

    COVID-19 - Jane M. Orient

    The issue of Covid-19 has touched almost everyone on the globe. Lockdown policies have been thrust upon us widely with the gloss of science backing them. Now, more than ever, we urgently need to look behind the headlines at whether we are being told the truth about the virus. In this thoughtful book, John Schroeter does an excellent job of distilling the science that is not being heard. It is a much needed counter to the doomsday narrative that we’ve all been fed. This book gives me renewed hope for our future.

    —Dr. Simon Thornley, Public Health Physician, lecturer and researcher in the section of Epidemiology and Biostatistics at The University of Auckland, NZ

    There is much consternation and chaos during this global pandemic caused by the coronavirus. There is widespread fear and confusion. What is much needed are voices of clarity, courage, and compassion. Rumi taught us, The wound is where the light enters you. We need to embrace this collective wound and emerge stronger, more resilient, and more humane. The underpinnings for this are to be anchored in science coupled with spirituality in its most heart expanding sense. John Schroeter has just brilliantly succeeded in that venture. Kudos to him for masterfully penning this. This a must read. I was most informed and inspired!

    —Dr. Sanjiv Chopra, MBBS, MACP; Professor of Medicine; Former Faculty Dean Continuing Education, Harvard Medical School, bestselling author

    We’ve simply got to be more optimistic to get out of this mess. There is so much doom and gloom in the media and yet the statistics are really looking so good now. We are coming out of the pandemic together and John’s text illuminates the clear path forward. Let’s follow the path he plots and move forward in a safe and yet ambitious way. We can do this together!

    —Professor Karol Sikora, MA, PhD, MBBChir, FRCP, FRCR, FFPM, Chief Medical Officer

    There may or may not be one best way for societies to minimize the many potential harms of COVID-19— some resulting directly from infection, others indirectly from interdiction efforts. There are clearly many ways to get it wrong. The paths to total harm minimization are illuminated by thinking past the simplistic reflexive responses, considering options both intuitive and otherwise. Well informed consensus is good; premature consensus is the death of insight.

    CONTENTS

    Preamble

    A brief overview of the nature of the coronavirus, the responses, their consequences, and hidden agendas.

    All Together Now?

    It’s a rhetorical question, of course, because there can be no togetherness when dissenting voices that question authorities or challenge a dictated narrative are banned or otherwise suppressed, marginalized, ridiculed, and libelously smeared.

    The Tail that Wags the Dog [POINTS 1–11]

    Quarantine the healthy? Since when does that make sense? The vast majority of those infected with coronavirus—a cousin of the viruses that cause the common cold—don’t even know they have it. Those needing protection—the tiny percentage who are most vulnerable—almost universally exhibit multiple underlying chronic conditions (comorbidities) that are further exacerbated by poor diet and lifestyle. The rest of us have nothing to fear.

    Dangerous Curves Ahead [POINTS 12–25]

    Lives versus the economy? An utterly false dichotomy. Herd immunity is the fastest, lowest-impact path to exiting the pandemic. Flattening the curve has not only sustained the horrendous fallout, it has proven to be an unimaginably disastrous strategy that has caused far more misery and death than the coronavirus ever could.

    The Great Numbers Racket [POINTS 26–35]

    You get what you incentivize. Call it COVID and make an extra $39,000. We’ll never know the real numbers on COVID-19 because they have been irredeemably corrupted by a relentless campaign of pressure, fear, and misinformation.

    The Great Lockdown [POINTS 36–48]

    Placing the world under house arrest not only precludes herd immunity, it is the shortcut to the death of civilization. Worse, we now know that sheltering in place and social distancing policies were predicated on false premises. And yet the lockdown policies persist, inflicting immense and continuing harm.

    Stoking a Pandemic of Fear—and Ignorance [POINTS 49–51]

    Propaganda works. Ignorance sustains it. Fear reinforces it. The media loves it. The State exploits it.

    Not-so-Super Models [POINTS 52–57]

    Garbage in, garbage out. Discover the real reason why all the pandemic models are garbage—but serve to advance global agendas.

    A Shot in the Dark [POINTS 58–70]

    What’s behind holding normalcy hostage to a global vaccination that is uncertain, potentially ineffective, and very likely dangerous? And why do its advocates fear herd immunity?

    The Great Book Burning [POINTS 71–75]

    Dissenting voices not allowed. Why is that?

    Big Brother is Watching You [POINTS 76–83]

    COVID-19: a convenient pretext for accelerating the goals of the surveillance state.

    Reclaiming our Future [POINTS 84–87]

    If the future ain’t what it used to be, it’s because we’ve forfeited it. On our way back to it, we will realize either the future we fear to imagine or the world we dare to dream. Let us turn the tables now on the Orwellian version of the future that powerful entities are working hard to advance.

    The Great Unmasking [POINTS 88–94]

    Every scientific study done on the effectiveness of mask wearing arrives at the same conclusions: not only do they not work for containing viruses, they actually harm the wearer’s health, providing a false sense of security in the process. Masks are, however, highly effective for stoking the fear machine. Masks are the ultimate symbol of fear, ignorance, and submission to state control.

    Countering the Contagion of Fear [POINTS 95–100]

    Rational intelligence, critical thinking, and curiosity will empower you. Recognize that your voice is the ultimate antibody against fear, ignorance, and tyranny.
