COVID lockdowns were meant to delay natural immunity until jabs were ready: report

(LifeSiteNews) — Jeffrey Tucker, a prominent critic of COVID-19 lockdown policies from the earliest days, stated categorically that the purpose of the stringent measures was not to protect people’s health; it was to delay the onset of natural immunity so that the experimental “vaccine” which was still in development would be hailed as the heroic solution to the virus.

The shocking assertion was made during a recent The Brownstone Show podcast with fellow truth-teller Dr. Jessica Rose as they spoke about the revelations supplied by the publication of Dr. Anthony Fauci’s diary. 

“I was told by top FDA, NIH officials that a major reason for social distancing, lockdowns, masking, plexiglass, stay at home orders, and everything else was to delay the onset of natural immunity, to delay rising seroprevalence levels, to delay endemicity, until after the shots were online,” said Tucker. He didn’t name the federal officials who disclosed the true purpose of the tyrannical government orders. 

“So it wasn’t just that all these … social engineering tactics were designed to keep us well. No. It was exactly the opposite,” Tucker argued. 

“It was to keep us from gaining a natural capacity to resist the virus so that they could wait until the injection came along so the injection could be deployed and experimented upon us and thereby get all the credit for having solved the issue,” he explained. 

Tucker admitted that his statement sounded like “a wild conspiracy theory, but that’s what they meant by ‘flatten the curve.’” 

“‘Flatten the curve’ meant to prolong the pain, delay the solution,” he emphasized. 

“It sounds crazy until you hear it from people who were there on the ground, in the agencies, in the companies, watching all this unfold,” continued Tucker, adding:   

Multiple sources have confirmed this without a shadow of a doubt in their mind that that was the real purpose of the school closures, the business shutdowns, stay-at-home orders, the travel restrictions, everything – to delay the point at which we would have essentially solved the problem through natural exposure and immune upgrades.  

Jeffrey Tucker just revealed that top FDA and NIH quietly admitted the real reason for Covid lockdowns, masking, and social distancing to him.

It sounds like a “wild conspiracy theory.”

But it’s the truth.

The driving force behind the creation of the Brownstone Institute and that of Jeffrey Tucker’s Brownstone Show podcast is the global crisis created by policy responses to the COVID-19 crisis of 2020. 

“That trauma revealed a fundamental misunderstanding alive in all countries around the world today, a willingness on the part of the public and officials to relinquish freedom and fundamental human rights in the name of managing a public health crisis, which was not managed well in most countries. The consequences were devastating and will live in infamy,” the institute’s website states.

The mission of the Brownstone Institute is “to come to terms with what happened, understand why, discover and explain alternative paths, and seek reforms to prevent such events from happening again. Lockdowns and mandates have set a precedent in the modern world; without accountability, social and economic institutions will be shattered once again.”
