What If They Staged A Winter Of Death, But Nobody Came?

Yes, Zhou seems to be threatening a “winter of death” for the recalcitrant uninjected, the Pure Bloods out there. You and your families will be overwhelming the hospitals, where you’ll be intubated and left to die. Stay tuned for further instructions, as the operative definitions keep changing.

NEW - Biden declares winter of severe illness & death for unvaccinated.

What regime apparatchik thought this was a good idea?

When did it become normal in America for the government to threaten the law abiding populace? The interesting thing is that fewer and fewer people are taking notice of what their government tells them.

We noted this trend a few days ago, working off the Atlantic article Where I Live, No One Cares About COVID. That article, it turns out, has real legs—it’s hitting tender spots across America. Injection cultists of the Left are covering their eyes and ears and screaming, I can’t see you, I can’t hear you! while unsubscribing from The Atlantic. Conservatives, on the other hand, are taking note and taking heart. Glenn Reynolds, for example (h/t TexasDude), addresses this from a more or less legal theory point of view:

It’s time to abolish ‘emergency’ COVID-19 powers

Reynolds emphasizes what I like to refer to as the rational basis argument, as well as the fact that people are catching on to what’s going on:

… science, and rationality in general, is about changing your opinions when you learn new facts. And what we’ve learned is that COVID is somewhat worse than the flu but not nearly bad enough to justify the enormous, expensive and disruptive changes we’ve endured.

In fact, the damages wrought by lockdowns and social isolation — medical, in terms of reduced exercise, missed medical screenings and increased drug and alcohol consumption, as well as psychological, in loneliness and anxiety — may have been worse than those wrought by COVID itself.

Also, most of the nostrums offered by the experts and Karens are nonsensical and don’t work. Masks outdoors, where COVID doesn’t really spread anyway? Plexiglas screens everywhere? Shut-down public water fountains and a wide variety of service changes in hotels, restaurants and airplanes that are attributed to COVID but really about saving money?

People have seen through this, and they’re over it.

The resistance to science and rationality, the resistance not only to old facts but also to new facts, the tight embrace of self destructive behavior—it marks the followers of the Mandate Mafia as essentially a cult. It’s about virtue signaling now, facts be damned. The injections are increasingly exposed as ineffective for the purpose they were deployed (without adequate testing) as well as being exposed as harmful. Yet the injection cultists cling to them. And yet this is serious—I counted at least three serious science articles yesterday detailing new findings of the harm done by the injections, and more keeps coming out.

The resistance to the madness is growing and becoming ever more overt. And so Reynolds concludes on a serious note:

People have noticed and rebelled. And authorities are cracking. Gov. Kathy Hochul just backed down after her effort to impose a statewide mask mandate drew overwhelming opposition. Businesses said they wouldn’t cooperate. Local officials said they wouldn’t enforce the rule. Hochul caved, saying she wouldn’t force counties to go along. Righty pundit Matt Margolis called it a “spectacular failure,” and it was.

Amtrak, facing broad resistance from its workers, suspended its vaccine mandate for employees. And Colorado’s Democratic Gov. Jared Polis said no to a mask mandate, declaring, “The emergency is over.”

It is. And now that it’s over, we need to claw back all the power seized by various institutions in the name of emergency. And when that’s done, we need a searching inquiry into how the power was exercised — an inquiry with consequences.

On a different level from Reynolds, there was also this:

Florida Man challenges mask policy on flight by wearing women's underwear on his face

What’s interesting about this, if you watch the video that a passenger took, is that at least two other passengers—seeing what was going on (the masked passenger was removed)—got up, removed their masks, and left the plane in solidarity with the protester.
