Briefly Noted: Covid Regime Narrative Collapse Continues

Two items—or one double—in the news that will play into the rest. Pfizer CEO Bourla and DoD CEO Austin, both quadruple injected, have both tested positive. That’s part of a continuing pattern.

Now for two items from Brownstone that those following the Covid Regime will find informative.

First, New Zealand: Mugged by Covid Reality.

New Zealand is an outstanding example of a country run by a WEF acolyte and extremist know-nothing, Jacinda Ardern, who embraced the moralization and even sacralization of the Covid Regime of injections broken human relationships. Ardern is an intellectual lightweight who walked herself and her country into a mugging:

Jacinda Ardern’s government further reinforced New Zealand’s collective moral fervor by proclaiming its doctrine of the health ministry as the “single source of truth” on anything to do with coronavirus, including public health interventions.

With the passage of time, as evidence mounted of the folly of Zero Covid policy and the accumulating harms it was causing, the New Zealand government was trapped in a prison of its own construction and found it difficult to change course, even after the futility of the entire program became obvious in the data.

New Zealand’s cumulative cases are now significantly above cases in the US, which is far less injected. The article has lots of graphs which are highly explanatory, as well as explanations of why foolish Kiwis thought they were somehow unique—but really weren’t. This one graph illustrates the delayed effect of Covid in NZ as well as the devastating ineffectiveness of the injections:

The second article is by the indefatigable Jeffrey Tucker: A Deeper Dive Into the CDC Reversal. Tucker discusses the CDC’s attempt to end the Covid Regime while not admitting that that’s what it’s doing:

It would have been fascinating to be a fly on the wall in the brainstorming sessions that led to this little treatise. The wording was chosen very carefully, not to say anything false outright, much less admit any errors of the past, but to imply that it was only possible to say these things now. 

“As SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, continues to circulate globally, high levels of vaccine- and infection-induced immunity and the availability of effective treatments and prevention tools have substantially reduced the risk for medically significant COVID-19 illness (severe acute illness and post–COVID-19 conditions) and associated hospitalization and death. These circumstances now allow public health efforts to minimize the individual and societal health impacts of COVID-19 by focusing on sustainable measures to further reduce medically significant illness as well as to minimize strain on the health care system, while reducing barriers to social, educational, and economic activity.“

In English: everyone can pretty much go back to normal. Focus on illness that is medically significant. Stop worrying about positive cases because nothing is going to stop them. Think about the bigger picture of overall social health. End the compulsion. Thank you. It’s only two and a half years late. 

Tucker goes on at length to expose the utter incoherence of this latest pronouncement—including the continuation of the Zhou regime’s Covid Emergency in spite of the climbdown on the part of the CDC. However, he concludes with two brief Big Picture paragraphs that explain what’s going on—eloquently:

All of this gives rise to the great question: what was the point? Maybe it was all a mistake and now it is gone forever but that’s unlikely. The intellectuals who pushed this project on the world have a view of the world that is fundamentally ill-liberal. They differ among themselves on the details but the general approach is technocratic central planning rooted in deep suspicion of basic tenets of freedom.

How many people on the planet have now been acculturated to top-down control, socialized to live in fear, accept whatever comes down from above, never to question an edict, and expect to live in a world of rolling man-made disasters? And was that the point after all, to cultivate low expectations for life on earth and relinquish the soul’s desire for a full and free life?
