Weekly summary 15/2022

Hi,

this is a summary of what was going in the doll world in the 15th week of 2022, as far as we at Dollstudio & DS Doll Europe were concerned.

1) Corona situation. a) The situation in general. The economic desaster caused by lockdowns and other Corona measures keeps unfolding. Supply chains are disrupted, and energy prices keep climbing up - fuel, gas, diesel, crude oil, and coal. Shortages in key industries are continuously reported even in mainstram media. We are now in a massive energy crisis which is further spurred on by tensions between Russia, Ukraine, the EU and the US . Many countries report a rapid inflation. The new lockdown in Shanghai is being extended and shows the inhumane grimace of China's irrational 'Zero Covid' strategy - 25 million citizens are being incarcerated for weeks, without access to sufficient food or being able to go to work to earn money. It is utter madness. One crisis follows the other, and each is man-made and intentional. Decision makers could have chosen differently. It didn't have to be this way.

With currently 81 studies including 33 Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) and 61 peer-reviewed papers reporting positive effects of Ivermectin, there is plenty of sound research proving the efficacy of Covid-19 prophylaxis, and treatment protocols like I-MASK+ and MATH+ available. With the early intervention treatment protocols provided by Dr. Shankara Chetty, Covid-19 can successfully be treated as a biphasic disease by fully relying on authorized medication and on-label use drugs. Also, as reported in the Lancet, inhalation of Budesonid can reduce the probability of severe courses of disease by 90%. All of this is clear evidence that the SARS-CoV-2 virus is similarily managable like any other easily transmissible virus. For what plausible reason is treatment and prophylaxis with Ivermectin or Budesonid keeps getting suppressed? #FollowtheScience.

Obviously, Corona was only the pretext for something much bigger, now aliased as "New World Order", or the Wold Economic Forum's "Great Reset", or in the end: the United Nation's Agenda 2030. It is a total restructuring of society, financial markets, economy, and politics outside of democratic control. We are experiencing a global 'coup d'etat'.

For background information:

• Pandemic planning exercises 2001-2019

• Ivermectin for COVID-19: real-time meta analysis
• Facts about Covid-19 (Swiss Policy Research)

b) Impact on the doll business. The global crisis hits the doll business on multiple levels. The sequence of obstacles is long: increasing costs for raw materials, silicone shortages, severed supply chains, rationed electrical energy in mainland China, increased air freight costs as well for EU as US destinations. The new Shanghai lockdown hits the world economy with further supply chain disruptions as this megacity is a central hub for trade in Asia.

Bottomline: The world is now in a massive crisis. When energy costs skyrocket, it has an impact on every line of business. If Chinas factories are shut down, additional supply chain disruptions will follow. If less fertilizer is produced, the harvest in fall will be poor and food prices will increase. Prepare for the aftermath!
