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.
Brad, this makes eminent sense and at the same time is deeply cynical. Bravo. But don't you see hope for a piercing of the veil of fear? Do they trot out smallpox then, in your scenario? They had better hurry and out with it is my take, because the truth and ramifications of Rochelle's admission are already travelling around the world thanks to our new interconnected order. Or maybe they'll ban the CDC from Twitter?
Hemsley, you had me at “deeply cynical,” and I thank you :) But I absolutely DO see hope for piercing the veil of fear - I just think the imposers of that veil correctly see its piercing as an existential threat and will act with all due desperation. That sure doesn’t mean they’ll succeed in the effort. And I absolutely agree they'd better hurry up and figure something out, because, as you say, the facts are squeezing their way out of the box faster than can possibly be within anything like their zone of comfort.
I have no idea what they'll do in the future nor what sort of virus variation nature or man may bring us next, though I'm convinced by Mark’s argument that they’re trying to finesse their way out of the promise to “beat” covid in any sort of absolute sense. I just know that they know they can't afford for the public at large to become knowledgeable on the early treatment and prevention front, because there will be no way -none- to hide their active complicity in keeping that knowledge hidden. I'm also convinced that any atmosphere of calm and normalcy will maximize the odds of that knowledge rising above the lowered din, so I simply deduce from there that whatever they do, max chaos and cacophony will remain the order of the day. Now more than ever, this is not a political party that can survive outside of national chaos and crisis mode.
As you say, there is a race afoot, and to me that race is about which of these two things can be achieved first: a new normal which makes it all but impossible for the people to unseat a corrupt ruling class (like the continued fight to nationalize the corruption of our election laws, illegally import a more pliable voter base at a clip of millions per year, and institutionalize mass censorship of inconvenient truths, as just a few examples), or the masses of voters seeing in very specific ways just how they’ve been lied to and victimized all this time, especially on the early treatment and prevention front. Whichever side gets to its goal first, wins, and either way it’s gonna be a doozy.
Cheers, and PS: “Do they trot out smallpox then?”, “ban the CDC from Twitter.” Ha! Good stuff :)
OTOH, everyone knows that climb downs or tactical retreats can lead to disaster, and there are enough other factors in play--sundance quotes polling that 68% think econ is the biggest issue--that things could get hairy for the regime very fast.
I totally agree, Mark - their position is a tough one, which makes me think of the "caged animal" metaphor. I don't know what they'll do, just that there's nothing they won't do.
And I don't think you ever made things sound like you thought they were trying any kind of a full exit from the Covid Regime. I took you as saying simply what you're saying again here: changes to strategy are inevitable given the changing facts on the ground, and taking some of the heat off themselves by somehow making things seem less bad than before (and of course taking the credit for it!) seems to be in the works.
Maybe. But even today companies with more than 100 people are scrambling like hell to figure out how to comply with Biden's moronic use of OSHA to enforce his mandate. It's such typical Biden: lurch from crisis to crisis, foment chaos....and move on if it doesn't work. He's just a walking cluster. Even IF* SCOTUS smacks him down, this idio and his handlers have a history of leaving sh*t like this 'undead'.
If Trump Desantis or whomever else is not bought and sold by the criminal cabal don't drive a semi tractor trailer full of political and Infowar beatdown through this gaping whole Rochelle just created then we can be sure we are well and good post republic. If the rest of the world doesn't start clamoring for justice and use this travesty to it's geopolitical advantage whatever that might be then we'll truly know that Klaus has indeed taken over.
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.
Questions that stick a hat pin in this fear bubble:
1. What is the death rate of those with zero comorbidities? (Carlson above).
2. What is the death rate of annual flu virus with and without comorbidities?
3. At what exact point in time did CDC have enough mortality data to determine comorbidity rates?
4. What data and other information about the virus was CDC promulgating to state and local health officials to support their policy recommendations?
5. When did Anthony Fauci and or Deborah Birx advise the President, either President of the comorbidity data, and if never, on what basis did they withhold this data from the President?
6. Assuming the CDC had some form of the comorbidity rate at the time it issued it's various Emergency Use Authorizations, what if any factor did the low risk to healthy individuals play in it's recommendation to inject children with experimental mRNA treatments?
7. Why did the CDC recommend injection of a non sterilizing mRNA treatment for healthy individuals and children? What medical benefit did this recommendation have, at all?
I'm not even a doctor and I can reason through this BS. Something tells me I'm not the only one...
Old Frank, you forgot the cases of one or two comorbidities, surely there are a few of those or they wouldn't bother the tedious specifying of "three or more" ... I think you're going to have to lower your number further...

Yeah, that's outstanding. And there are other articles out today along the same lines. Can't hide the scam forever.

I'll say this--I think they're trying to finesse this, not give up on the Covid Regime entirely.
OTOH, everyone knows that climb downs or tactical retreats can lead to disaster, and there are enough other factors in play--sundance quotes polling that 68% think econ is the biggest issue--that things could get hairy for the regime very fast.
I think there's no climb down in this case that doesn't wake up a lot of people

I was just reading that only 6% of mortalities had no co-morbidities at all. I suspect that's pretty typical for respiratory viruses, including flu.
“Democrats don’t care what you do as long as you’re mandated to do it.”
Totalitarian trash.
