Rochelle's admission should rightly blow up the "silent deadly killer" myth and with it the underpinnings of the fear porn. I'm curious to see the totalitarian wheels keep turning, once people by and large lose their fear.

My starting point is that the covid hype is a global effort and that there's way too much to lose for those behind the effort if they go down any road that results in relative calm.

Too much truth, lethal to the cause, would manage to get out in such an atmosphere, so the chaos and the madness will not be allowed to let up, or at least that's my sad prediction.

With omicron looking to be disappointingly less deadly from the Democrats’ perspective, they certainly are in a pickle: the chaos must be maintained to keep people’s attention away from the near-perfect success and zero side effects of cheap, safe, proven early treatments and prevention, as broad public discovery of these would make it clear that every last little bit of this “crisis” was actively brought upon the world by a ruling class that knew full well almost all along exactly how easily preventable and treatable this virus is. Yet most Americans have had it with the chaos and yearn for its end. But I see no path for the Biden Admin other than keeping things crazy, even if some adjustments are grudgingly made in covid strategy, and continuing to blame the chaos on those of us who see through the lies and act accordingly. IOW: the more things may seem to change, the more they’ll actually stay the same. And I’ll be shocked if more shoes don’t drop between now and election time, just like they've been dropping one after the other ever since round about election season 2016.

The manufactured crises of the arsonist-firefighter ploy is all they know, and it serves them well. They need for us to forever “live in interesting times,” and they’ll not let up on that. So whatever we end up getting out of any Admin strategy shifts, the chaos and the scapegoating will continue to reign, by design. The supreme cause of a scared, confused, angry and benighted public depends on it. Hope I’m wrong, but I don’t think so.
