The coronavirus freak-out, if anything, shows that globalism globalises disease, and that the only sensible approach to modern statecraft is nationalism. But, the globalists will not be giving up easily, and have an uncanny knack of snatching victory from the jaws of defeat. Anyway, two good articles at vDarew.com, on this; I like this site better than American Renaissance, it does not have the East Asia worship, and most writers are pretty straight shooters:

“Always remember this simple truth: the Covid-19 outbreak is the product of globalization, mass immigration and rampant political correctness. The main stream media/ democrat complex is counting on the disease and resulting economic disruption to take down Donald J. Trump’s presidency. But it’s actually shown why nationalism, and a realistic attitude to race, is more relevant than ever. What the U.S. needs going forward: economic self-sufficiency, an immigration moratorium, and a restored sense of national identity so that its leaders can respond quickly in a crisis without the paralyzing fear of being called “racist.” There is still much we don’t know about the coronavirus, including the deeply controversial question about whether it was man-made, a product of Chinese dietary habits, or some completely unknown source [Chinese lab conducted extensive research on deadly bat viruses, but there is no evidence of accidental release, by Joby Warrick, Ellen Nakashima, Shane Harris, and Anna Fifield, Washington Post, April 30, 2020]. However, we do know that the Chinese government is refusing the World Health Organization’s request for a joint investigation about where the virus came from [China refuses WHO requests to participate in coronavirus investigations: report, by J. Edward Moreno, The Hill, May 1, 2020]. We thus see two critical lies of globalism revealed:
• First, China, where American companies have outsourced so much manufacturing and investment, has such contempt for the world that it won’t share data about a plague that has killed tens of thousands and ruined the world economy.
Even The New York Times reported in early February that China ignored requests for help from both the CDC and the WHO “for weeks” [C.D.C. and W.H.O. Offers to Help China Have Been Ignored for Weeks, by Donald G. McNeil Jr. and Zolan Kanno-Youngs, The New York Times, February 7, 2020].
• Second, we see that the World Health Organization, like the United Nations, is impotent at best and corrupt at worst when it comes to confronting a real crisis [Tucker Carlson: World Health Organization Is A Lapdog Of The Chinese Government, by Tim Hains, RealClearPolitics, April 1, 2020].
President Trump was right to defund this albatross. He should do the same with the United Nations. While the MSM/ Democrats are bashing Trump now, they were lecturing Americans in late January and early February that it was racist to worry about a virus coming from China [Who’s Right: Donald Trump or the Media?, by Gregory Hood, American Renaissance, April 3, 2020]. Remember the celebratory “reportorials ”(editorials disguised as reporting) about countries, like Canada, that rejected a travel ban because “research” said it wouldn’t work [Research supports Canada’s decision to reject a coronavirus travel ban, by Kelly Grant, The Globe and Mail, February 3, 2020]. Suddenly, now they do.”
We agree with all that, and it is joyful to see vDare.com attacking the UN as well, a critique that has been dear to our hearts for a long time. And, it looks like Lance Welton got it right about the racial aspects of Covid-19, with Euro-whites having less of a problem with it. The mainstream has implicitly admitted this:

“Why are non-white people in European countries so much more susceptible to Covid-19 than the native population? Could it be due to the nature of race itself? Recent research, based on twin studies, has found that there is definitely a very significant genetic component behind why Covid-19 is more problematic for some people than others. As much as 50% of variance in how people react to Covid-19 is due to genes [Study of twins reveals genetic effect on Covid-19 symptoms, by Nicola Davis, The Guardian, April 27, 2020]. In that races are distinct genetic clusters, it thus starts to become extremely probable that race differences in reaction to Covid-19 are partly genetic. And senior medics and hospital managers in the UK are clearly now discussing this. But what could be going on, in genetic terms, for non-whites? One likely possibility: they are not absorbing enough Vitamin D. Non-Whites in the Northern hemisphere are living in an environment to which they are not genetically adapted and in which, in particular, they are less able to absorb Vitamin D through their skin. This makes them less healthy and it renders pandemics all the more devastating for them. This explanation is now being discussed, though not quite as explicitly, in the journal of British Medical Association. But it is still being ignored by the Main Stream Media.
After all, the reason for the race disparity in Covid-19 can’t simply be factors such as non-whites, in general, being poorer—and so more likely to do service jobs, live in crowded areas and use public transport—because the difference is found even if you effectively control for income. Non-White doctors and nurses in Britain have proved more likely to become seriously ill with and die of Covid-19 than are white doctors and nurses. This is why the Somerset NHS Trust is giving non-white medical staff first refusal when it comes to face masks. According to evolutionary scientists Gregory Cochran and Henry Harpending, in their 2009 book The 10,000 Year Exposition, nobody in Europe had white skin 10,000 years ago. It began to evolve once Europeans adopted agriculture. This meant that while a given amount of land could now support a much larger population, that population had, on average, less access to a healthy diet. Its diet became more focused on staple crops, meaning less meat, less vegetables, less fruit and fewer nuts. All of this meant people consumed less Vitamin D and had worse health, in part because, living in Europe, they were absorbing relatively little Vitamin D during the long dark winters. White skin evolved as means of allowing these European farmers to absorb the maximum possible amount of Vitamin D from the sun and skin evolved to get lighter and lighter the further agriculture was practiced, because, the further you moved north, the longer and darker the winters became.
So, if you live in a country that has long dark winters and have light skin then, all else being equal, you are going to be healthier than person who lives in such a country and has dark skin. With your light skin, you will be able to absorb much more Vitamin D. A great deal of research confirms this, such a major study in Archives of Dermatology [Racial Pigmentation and the Cutaneous Synthesis of Vitamin D, by Lois Matsuoka et al., Archives of Dermatology, April 1991] Vitamin D is vital to many aspects of healthy body functioning. But it is particularly important in regard to respiratory conditions such as Covid-19. One study has identified mean Vitamin D levels in 20 European populations and found that they strongly negatively associated with the Covid-19 mortality rates [The role of Vitamin D in the prevention of Coronavirus Disease 2019 infection and mortality, by Petrie Ilie et al., Research Square, April 8, 2020]. Another study has shown that low levels of Vitamin D—which becomes a big problem in winter—is a significant factor behind the increased prevalence of all viruses, including flu, in the winter [Evidence that Vitamin D Supplementation Could Reduce Risk of Influenza and COVID-19 Infections and Deaths, by W. B. Grant et al., Nutrients, April 2, 2020]. On this basis, we would expect Covid-19 to be a particular problem for non-whites in cold countries because, for genetic reasons (their skin color), they would be absorbing less Vitamin D. And it should especially problematic for black people, because their skin is so dark.
So, we certainly shouldn’t be surprised by the impact that Covid-19 is having on Somali “refugees” in Scandinavian countries, where winter is very long and very dark. According to British Medical Journal [Inhabitants of Swedish-Somali origin are at great risk for covid-19, by Susanne Bejerot & Mats Humble, British Medical Journal, 2020], in the Stockholm region of Sweden, 40% of the COVID-19-related deaths reported by March were Somalis even though they make up 0.84% of the population.
So, we see that race is real, and is a biological construction, not some sort of social construct cooked up in a Women’s Study, or sociology department.
