Weekly summary 07/2021

Hi,

this is a summary of what was going in the doll world in the 7th week of 2021, as far as we at Dollstudio & DS Doll Europe were concerned.

1) Coronavirus situation. a) The 'pandemic' situation in general. Ivermectin continues to become recognized, but much too slow and mostly in less industrialized countries. Youtube continues to delete research reports and sucess stories, so people will keep dying unless they actively research scientific information. With now 41 studies including 20 Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) reporting positive effects of Ivermectin, Google's ongoing censorship is no longer acceptable. Youtube has now blood on their hands. As a reminder, the SARS-CoV-2 virus is similarily managable like any other easily transmissible virus. There are scientifically proven COVID-19 prophylaxis and treatment protocols like I-MASK+ and MATH+ available. #FollowtheScience.

On the more positive side, resistance is forming. In Austria and Germany, peaceful protests gets tens of thousands on the streets. Lawyers have filed dozends of complaints, injunctions and criminal charges as the elderly are 'dying like flies' in care homes after getting injected with the experimental vaccines. And bars and restaurants in several countries like Italy have just re-opened and ignore the moronic lockdown interventions. At this point in time, it is highly questionable if there is an actual pandemic, and I will no longer use this misguiding term. What remains is an unprecedented extent of disinformation and manipulation, combined with a blood trail of intentional mistreatment and countless unnecessary deaths.

For background information:

• COVID-19 treatment and prophylaxis - How to avoid infections and deaths
• Pandemic planning exercises 2001-2019

b) Impact on the doll business. In China, CNY public holidays are over, and the first factories resume business. Though, air freight capacities remain severely limited and expensive. The ongoing lockdowns and border closures are starting to suffocate international trade. In parts of the U.S., snow storms and power outages are causing additional damage.
