Groundhog Day, 2-2-22. Also known as day 702 to flatten the curve.
Happy birthday Punxsutawney. 702 and still going strong!
Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow and predicts 6 more weeks of winter. But then, you knew he would. We’re in this for the long haul.
Unless, that is, the long-haulers - i.e. #MapleLeafRevolution - inspire their brethren to the south to mount an even larger convoy and declaration of freedom from the autocratic policies that our betters have deemed “useful and necessary.”
In a sane time, in a sane world – neither of which we’ve seen for years – this Johns Hopkins study would drive a stake deep through the heart of these petty tyrants and autocratic vampires.
The original coronavirus lockdowns had 'little to no' effect on pandemic death tolls in the US, UK and Europe, a controversial report suggests.
Economists who carried out a meta-analysis estimated that draconian restrictions first imposed in spring 2020 — including stay-at-home orders, compulsory masks and social distancing — only reduced Covid mortality by 0.2 per cent.
They warned that lockdowns caused 'enormous economic and social costs' and concluded they were 'ill-founded and should be rejected as a pandemic policy instrument' going forward.
The review, led by a Johns Hopkins University professor, argued that border closures had virtually zero effect on Covid mortality, reducing deaths by just 0.1 per cent.
But we don’t live in sane times and once seized, tyrants never relinquish powers willingly. Instead of fearing COVID we should fear the colossal idiots calling the shots (literally) around here. Fear the bureaucrats who are scamming and scheming for personal gain, fear the tyrants – from petty county ‘public health directors’ to Governors and Presidents who have used a particularly lethal flu bug to seize “temporary” powers which bulldoze over rights guaranteed in the U.S. Constitution.
They have been wrong, wrong, wrong…about everything. From the start. Wrong about the origins of the Wu-Flu virus, wrong about the effects of mandatory face masks, wrong about the efficacy of the vaccines, and now, wrong about the effectiveness of lockdowns.
Henceforth they will no longer be known as conspiracy theories; they will be called “spoiler alerts.” I assure you, we are surrounded by conspiracies.
Another biological conspiracy

That d**n yankee groundhog knows nothing. Our guy saw no shadow today, therefore an early spring for us rubes in the south.

Nut-job Conspiracy Theory/Spoiler Alert Ping!
To get onto The Nut-job Conspiracy Theory/Spoiler Alert Ping List you must threaten to report me to the Mods if I don't add you to the list...

New twist on an old saw!
I like it!
