About those “Covid admissions”, Dr. Ted Noel has this to say in a very good article at American Thinker about just who benefits from Forever Covid:

"What about hospitals? They’re among the largest beneficiaries of government largesse, and loath to give up on the free money. Massive parts of their income come from government programs like Medicare and Medicaid. So, when the CARES Act shoved more money at them for every COVID diagnosis, we saw hospitals demanding that every patient be tested. A minimum of $13,000 for each positive result was too juicy a plum to leave uneaten.

Even now, my friends in active practice report that hospital personnel insist on COVID tests for patients who are admitted with problems unrelated to any infectious disease. A patient who died of a heart attack in the ER got a nasal swab in the quest for filthy lucre after he died. “Show me the money!“ “

So much for “dying with Covid”...

Fauci and Collins working like crazy to discredit the Great Barrington Declaration, the doctors who wrote it and the hundreds who signed it. Found out when their emails were unearthed, they are doubling down:

The Telegraph article is behind a paywall. This one isn’t. The manipulation of hospital data on Covid is outrageous - and drawing fire. We know the same is happening across America. Is anyone raising Cain?

This Will Really Ruin Anthony Fauci's Xmas

A general failure to comply... Family members daring to co-mingle this holiday season... Americans who refuse (or reject) the mandatory triple jabs... Un-masked deplorables...

These are a few of the things that will likely infuriate the world's foremost authoritarian on COVID catastrophe porn - Dr. Anthony Fauci.

But, we suspect this may just be the straw that breaks the angry little bureaucratic camel's back...

Yes, Robert F Kennedy's book exposing "The Real Anthony Fauci" was the most-bought non-fiction book on Amazon this week!

Good grief! Kennedy’s Fauci book nowhere to be found in the public library I have always used - for decades - but I just managed to find a copy of the ebook at a library in a neighboring city. Ha!

I've let my library card expire--the place has gone totally woke.

Kept mine because I can use it to get ebooks from a number of sources. Free.

Can you imagine the train wreck if Brandon could actually manage a 1 hour press conference? sheesh.

Once again, thank you to Mark for all the great analysis that helps us attenuate/snuff out the gaslight groupies.

Best wishes for a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you.

I couldn’t listen to Brandon for an hour. 10 seconds are a trial. Have loathed him ever since the days long ago when he was chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee and vented his nasty spleen against anyone who had the misfortune to appear before it. Gangrenous soul.

Or FOUR hours like Vladimir Putin just conducted for Russian press? Brandon would have been a COMPLETE jibbering idiot and probably soiled his Depends.

Merry Christmas everybody, and thank you, Mark, for hosting us!

This is as good a place as any to echo Anne’s reply, and recall the Trump presser where he answered each and every question, for as long as they kept coming (Brit Hume, of all people, expressed astonishment and admiration for that feat). As someone said on Fox the other day “President Trump talked to the press everywhere - in the WH, on the lawn, on the driveway…everywhere.” Doddering Zhou just tries to be the Irish clown from years past and shows that demented smile that looks like an ancient evil Joker.

Merry Christmas to Mark, with thanks for his learned posts and his giving us a place to express our opinions, and to everyone who posts here. We all made it to Mark’s new “home” - well worth the trip. May sanity prevail in the New Year … and those who cancel wither away.

Re talking to the press, which is largely a waste of time, but--another 'imagine if' moment.

Thanks, and Merry Christmas to everyone.
