More Than Collateral Damage

Rochelle Arnold • Feb 02, 2022

In the Wake of Destruction

During a war, the unintentional deaths and injuries of people who are not soldiers, and damage that is caused to their homes, hospitals, schools etc. is called collateral damage. This can include any death, injury, or other damage inflicted that is an incidental result of an activity. Originally coined by military operations, it is now also used in non-military contexts. The word collateral derives from the Latin word 'collateralis', which means 'together with'. So, when an intended target is struck and damage or death is caused nearby, that damage is 'collateral'.


So, what about all the collateral damage we have seen with the mitigations and effects of the COVID-19 plandemic? For starters these last two years have been much more than collateral damage. There have been direct hits on the population and especially those who were unlucky enough to have to go to the hospital to be treated for this virus.


“This collateral damage—unintended consequences—of our personal and policy responses to the virus is immense. Excess deaths from causes other than COVID have been sharply higher than normal during the pandemic. These consequences can be extreme, such as violence and deaths of despair, but many other all-too-human costs—divorces, alcoholism, drug abuse, and derailed careers—have yet to be measured. It will be some time before all the costs can be tallied, but we can start to see and quantify many of them, and also highlight others that need to be investigated.” (COLLATERAL DAMAGE FROM COVID by Rob Arnott, Vitali Kalesnik, and Lillian Wu Project Director: Adrian T.

SUICIDE


The mother of a teenager, who committed suicide, has blamed his death on COVID-19 lockdown restrictions in Illinois and recently joined a lawsuit against Governor J.B. Pritzker for canceling the winter high school sports season. Trevor Till who was a student-athlete at Seneca High School died by suicide on October 21, 2020, at the age of 18. His mother, Lisa Mara Moore has blamed his death on Pritzker's strict lockdown rules.


'My son died because of COVID isolation,' Moore told The Faulkner Focus. 'He truly enjoyed being at school. That's where his heart and soul was. (Through tears), Moore said: 'He was an awesome brother. He was an awesome son. He was my person. I miss him so much.' Moore told the news show that she noticed her son getting a 'little depressed' after the sports season was canceled. 'He's a teenage boy. They need their friends. They need the interaction. They need the socialization,' she said. 'He was that student in the classroom that raised his hand, got the conversations going. Doing that from Zoom, doing that from his bedroom, it was not the same feeling for him,' Moore added. 


ESSENTIAL WORKERS


During the last two years small businesses were closed down and some never recovered. The destruction of the Mom-and-Pop stores were more collateral damage from the fallout of COVID. While all this was happening, the large retail stores were allowed to remain open. Stores plastered arrows on the floor in an attempt to direct us up and down the correct aisles, so as to not come into close contact with other patrons. How many times did I see some poor little old lady wandering down the aisle the opposite way of the posted signs. 


Some business owners even went to jail for trying to feed their families. These hardworking American souls appeared in court and fought the good fight of faith. The positive news is many of these people became heroes and the general public supported them by making financial donations. And then there were all the healthcare workers on the frontlines taking care of those who became seriously ill. Now those same healthcare workers are being fired for not submitting to an experimental jab.


LIES AND DECEPTION


When the government or world officials are confronted with sharp questions they resort to obfuscation. Obfuscation is the obscuring of the intended meaning of communication by making the message difficult to understand, usually with confusing and ambiguous language. Kind of like what the FDA did when “supposedly approving the COVID vaccine, Comirnaty. The FDA notes on their website that the original Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine with the EUA and the Comirnaty branded vaccine are two “legally distinct” products.


“The FDA-approved Comirnaty (COVID-19 Vaccine, mRNA) and the two EUA authorized formulations of Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine for ages 12 years and older, when prepared according to their respective instructions for use, can be used interchangeably without presenting any safety or effectiveness concerns. Therefore, providers can use doses distributed under EUA to administer the vaccination series as if the doses were the licensed vaccine. For purposes of administration, doses distributed under the EUA are interchangeable with the licensed doses.” Q&A for Comirnaty (COVID-19 Vaccine mRNA) | FDA (Click Link)


It has now been confirmed, through the CDC’s own website, (Click Link) that “Comirnaty products are not orderable at this time.” With Comirnaty not being available anywhere in the United States, it would seem impossible for any entity within the state to legally mandate a COVID-19 vaccine.


“We know from the CDC reports that the average COVID death victim is nearly 80 years old with an average of three comorbidities, that 94 percent of all COVID deaths had comorbidities, that almost half of the deaths were nursing home patients, and that only 7 percent of the deaths were under age 50, almost all with comorbidities. But most would agree that it’s a greater loss when a child or sibling in their 20s, struggling with depression after their career has been derailed, gives up on that career, runs away from their family, overdoses, or commits suicide.” (COLLATERAL DAMAGE FROM COVID by Rob Arnott, Vitali Kalesnik, and Lillian Wu Project Director: Adrian T. Moore October 2021- Reason Foundation)


Without going into great detail, there are reports of young people now dying with myocarditis. Myocarditis is an inflammation of the heart muscle (myocardium). The inflammation can reduce the heart's ability to pump and cause rapid or irregular heart rhythms. These experimental vaccines are proving to be quite dangerous, and the person being injected is still able to contract the COVID-19 virus and spread it to others.


SPEECH PROBLEMS


A speech therapist reported that mask wearing during the pandemic has caused a 364 percent increase in patient referrals of babies and toddlers. Jaclyn Theek told WPBF News that before the pandemic, only 5 percent of patients were babies and toddlers, but this has soared to 20 percent. According to the article: “Parents are describing their children’s speech problems as “COVID delayed,” with face coverings the primary cause of their speaking skills being seriously impaired. As young as 8 months old, babies start learning how to speak by reading lips, a thankless task if parents and caregivers smother themselves with masks to comply with mandates.”

It is very important for kids to see faces to learn and connect emotionally with others.

There are a multitude of studies that show how ineffective masks are for protecting against a virus that is much smaller in proportion to the fibers of a mask and able to penetrate. Now all of the sudden the CDC is recommending KN95 masks to filter out at least 95 percent of air particles. Regular homemade masks were never able to filter out viruses. So, we now have small children wearing cloth masks outside as if that was normal. The damage is done, yet in Illinois the Governor continues to mandate masks for children at school and indoor venues.

This short blog has only scratched the surface of the collateral damage that has been inflicted on the American people over the last two years. Clearly this is more than just collateral damage, this is a direct hit with disastrous ramifications. The only way out is to continue to expose and educate the average person and get involved in any way you can. This is not a time to sit idly by; this is a time to take action!
