Fury, Rising: The Promotion Of COVID Panic Is About To Backfire
The Blue State Conservative ^ | 12/04/2021 | James Howard Kunstler

Posted on 12/04/2021 8:51:32 AM PST by TheManWhoWantedToBeLeftAlone

If anything, political pressures may prevent the White House from going far enough, Binghamton University political science professor Olga Shvetsova argued. In order to halt the virus, she said vaccines must not only be mandated but that fully vaccinated people need to be tested regularly to stop the emergence of new variants.

“We cannot allow people to be sick but not too sick,” Shvetsova said. “That’s what created delta, and that’s what created omicron. It’s not only about preventing people from being terribly sick. It’s about preventing them from being sick in invisible ways.”

— As reported in the Washington Examiner

Of course, Ms. Shvetsova is not a medical doctor, and it’s reasonable to doubt that politics represents any kind of science at all, but just a pretense of it in order to affect some academic respectability. Which prompts one to wonder: what shreds of respectability remain in the universities run by Jacobin maniacs? (Answer: almost none, and zero cred, too, lately, and note that having surrendered entirely to this kind of intellectual racketeering, higher ed is just another major institution whirling around the drain.)

There’s a lot to marvel at, though, in the manifold insanity of Ms. Shvetsova’s quoted views, starting with its overall totalitarian gusto. No ambiguity there about the need for coercion, for pushing people around, with no reference to legal niceties. (Note, political science is a field apart from the study of law, which doesn’t pretend to be science.) The bit I love most is: “It’s about preventing [citizens] from being sick in invisible ways.” Huh…? You know what else is invisible? Your thoughts. You could be harboring hostile thoughts about the folks who seek to push you around, which could lead to the accusation that you are an enemy of the state!

Prof. Shvetsova was not the only one out of her lane in the Covid thunderdome this week. Wall Street shill Jim Cramer took a few minutes off of pimping stocks on his CNBC-TV show to declare that the US army should be used to force vaccinations on the vax-resistant. “Acting President” Anthony Fauci and his political advisor, “Joe Biden,” used the hatching of Omicron to beseech the multiply-vaxxed to booster-up — overlooking the perhaps embarrassing reality that the mRNA vaccines do nothing to stop the spread of Covid, though they do have quite a downside in relative harm from adverse reactions.

For instance, a new study and warning from the American Heart Association concluded that mRNA vaccines dramatically increase risk of developing heart disease between 11 and 25 percent. Twitter slapped an “unsafe” warning on anyone attempting to transmit this news on its sacred app. Unsafe to whom, or what? Why, to the sacred narrative, of course, which is that the USA must be kept in a never-ending paranoid uproar over Covid — certainly until at least past the 2022 elections, in order to maintain all the emergency main-in ballot provisions that enable voting fraud.

Meanwhile, the emerging reality of Omicron is that it has a much lower transmission coefficient than its predecessor, the Delta variant, and produces only mild symptoms of illness. Someone should tell Acting President Fauci that Halloween is over and he can stop trying to scare everybody. Anyway, two federal judges rendered decisions striking down Acting President Fauci’s vaccine mandates. The second ruling, penned by U.S. District Judge Terry A. Doughty of Louisiana’s Western District, featured a particularly lusty and detailed diagnosis of the mandate’s constitutional impropriety, and extended the injunction against vax mandates to all fifty states.

This leaves the USA in a distinctly exceptional position among the other nations within the loose confederation of Western Civ. Thanks to manifestations of sanity on the federal bench, the vax mandates appear DOA here now, while Austria and Germany have rushed into full-blown psychotic fugues over Omicron, announcing harsh punishments for their unvaxxed and, coincidentally, wrecking another Christmas season among people whose Teutonic devotion to the ancient pagan solstice rites runs hot and deep. There is obvious awareness among German vax protesters, as seen on their T-shirts and placards, that 2021 is looking like a nauseating rerun of 1933. Is it not amazing that the German politicians don’t see that in their diktats?

The Covid psychosis is just a reassignment of the Trump derangement, which was provoked by the generalized anxiety about collapsing industrial societies. The reasons for the collapse are not hard to grok: a declining resource base, especially affordable, economically plausible oil, a financial system purposefully detached from on-the-ground material reality, and sets of grossly foolish over-investments in complexity in the techno-narcissistic effort to work-around all that.

The epic Trump and Covid hysterias (with a side-dish of climate neurosis) managed to distract the masses from those essential economic quandaries. But now the breakdown in all the channels of production, trade, and money is roaring in our faces, and just at Christmas time, too, when the sore-beset people seek just a few weeks’ respite from their travail and despair. Don’t be surprised by their rising fury over this in the days ahead.

“Science” has degraded into witches and witch-doctors.

Welcome to the third world.

Think of it as devolution in action.

How are they going to escape the explosion of rage when people finally get around to discovering tens of thousands have died without benefit of monoclonals which Trump touted over a year ago?

Fear porn is a near-hopeless addiction, the opiate of the Democrat Socialists, and it is leaving lasting harm on the body politic, as well as the general level of civility and prosperity.

The Great Reset has turned out to be the cause of a great deal of grief and dismay. There are certainly going to be a considerable number of new alignments, and the adjustment of these new alignments is not going to be free of friction points.

HCQ+Zn+antibiotic then Ivermectin are HOME RUNS.

These two doctors have treated over 7,000 COVID patients with ZERO casualties.

Unless you are a statistical moron, you know HCQ and IVM treatments work. In fact, anybody who dies now from COVID is an ignorant idiot who probably still wears a mask and thinks the vaxxxxxine will save lives.

Dr. George Fareed and Dr. Brian Tyson share early treatment protocol

Probably hundreds of thousands have died due to Fraudci lying about HCQ being dangerous and untested. Looking around the world, it's millions have died unnecessarily. Add in that the Ameican Heart Assoc is sounding warnings about cardiac damage being caused by the vaxxxes, you have not just prosecutions but executions in their future.

Mrna COVID Vaccines Dramatically Increase Endothelial Inflammatory Markers and ACS Risk as Measured by the PULS Cardiac Test: a Warning

What DRAMATICALLY INCREASES and WARNING means is that if you get the poison death shot you are going to decrease you life span.

Don’t forget, according to Biden, he has “F-15s and nuclear weapons.” He said this in the context of people objecting to government mandates.

It’s going to be very hard to fight back, because if it starts, they will not hesitate to use the hand of force. They’re doing that in Australian, Austria and Germany now, although they still haven’t progressed to nuclear weapons - sort of funny, but I never figured out how Biden got away with saying that. I guess the fact that he’s mentally incompetent has been a blessing to the Dems.

Our big gift in the US is our states. Some of the states are opposing this and that’s where it will start.

But maybe Biden really meant he was planning on bombing Florida? Of course, we (in Florida) have some of the most important military installations in the country, so maybe he should think again...

Difference being FDA approval; no risk to doctors’ license with monoclonals. I took both HCQ and ivermectin with my COVID as well as ZN, NAC , vitamin D and later aspirin; the others may have kept me from getting sicker( mine was extreme fatigue , mild back pain, mild fever , occasional 10 -20 sec cough about every 3 hours, only while awake) but monoclonal infusion made me virtually well. I didn't get the monoclonal until about day 8 in the 10 day window, though started trying about day 4—because they have done a great job of hiding access. Where are the public service announcements? A lot of family doctors don't know a thing about it. “Too expensive?” Cuts hospitalization by 80% and probably gets people with mild cases back to work in far fewer days.

A lot of the military personnel that can operate those weapons are being forced out, of course.
