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.
âWe cannot allow people to be sick but not too sick,â Shvetsova said. âThatâs what created delta, and thatâs what created omicron. Itâs not only about preventing people from being terribly sick. Itâs about preventing them from being sick in invisible ways.â
â As reported in the Washington Examiner
Of course, Ms. Shvetsova is not a medical doctor, and itâs 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.)
Thereâs a lot to marvel at, though, in the manifold insanity of Ms. Shvetsovaâs 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 doesnât pretend to be science.) The bit I love most is: âItâs about preventing [citizens] from being sick in invisible ways.â Huhâ¦? 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. âActing Presidentâ Anthony Fauci and his political advisor, âJoe Biden,â used the hatching of Omicron to beseech the multiply-vaxxed to booster-up â 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 âunsafeâ 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 â 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 Fauciâs vaccine mandates. The second ruling, penned by U.S. District Judge Terry A. Doughty of Louisianaâs Western District, featured a particularly lusty and detailed diagnosis of the mandateâs 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 donât 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 weeksâ respite from their travail and despair. Donât be surprised by their rising fury over this in the days ahead.
“Olga Shvetsova.”
What’s with all these Soviets?
With a crisis, all things are temporarily possible.
But hopefully when this ‘crisis’ is over, a new ‘crisis’ of consequences will hunt down those who have perpetrated this fooling they’ve been doing to all of us and will pay them 100% of what they have coming to them.
We’ll have no problems signing those checks and will probably be giving them bonuses, too.
These workers have earned their wages and they deserve to be paid.
That’s a great idea 💡
Yup. That’s what Kant, Hegel and Marx were all about. They had a new religion where the “state” is god. The only way to implement it is to completely destroy every successful, prosperous society first, then rebuild in their insanity and unwarranted arrogance. Theirs is actually the religion of resentment.
Yes, that’s a problem. I think the Dems want to totally change the military and make it their personal strike force, and this “vaccine mandate” is being used to weed out the undesirables.
Or even higher vitamin D levels would have saved countless deaths.
It is time for people to wake up.
The vaccines did not work. I wish they did, but they have not. I am not even sure how efficacious they are in fighting infection after six months as there is muddled data. They are a short-term treatment - not a “vaccine” as many believed nor do they stop the vaccinated from spreading it.
The one sized fits all approach focusing solely on the vaccines has failed. The data do not support people at low risk being vaccinated and it is causing other problems.
The social distancing and masking failed. The data is clear that there is no benefit and it harms young people and kids. Lock-downs also failed. Look at the large data sets!
Our health bureaucracy led by Fauci has failed. The US is now almost two years into this and our numbers are the worst in the world. Why? Our health bureaucracy has not pushed early treatment with simple things like vitamin D and steroids to mitigate illness - it’s been nothing but vaccine.
The only drug Fauci pushed on corporate medicine has been remdesivir and it does not work and causes harm.
When there was good evidence that HCQ and IVM with zinc were efficacious our health bureaucracy refused to study it objectively or examine data because it threatened the EUA for the vaccines. In fact, they went so far as to lie about the drugs! It is obscene. They are harmless drugs and they have shown clear benefit.
They are still ignoring vitamin D despite clear evidence that it is critical in preventing severe illness. How hard would it be for the CDC to recommend to hospitals that vitamin D levels be monitored and supplemented to fight the virus? I guess there is no money in it.
They killed people. Period. A majority of the public has lost trust in them.
Almost two years into this and we are just now seeing increased use of mobile treatment teams with monoclonal anti-bodies which are clearly effective?
It’s time for a new approach and new thinking instead of doubling down on the things that failed. They might want to copy what Florida is doing but I am done with Fauci and his ilk. I am not alone.
PS - everyone should read RFK Jr’s new book. It is shocking. The book warrants a criminal investigation for corruption.
Read The Real Anthony Fauci by RFK Jr, and spread the word.
It’s not a short read but he lays it out open.
Fauci is a ghoul, actually one of the great criminals of history. Others too... The names are familiar.
Omicron may be good news!!
Stay tuned for more science!!
Nobody is this incompetent. I mean, nobody. There can only be one explanation as to why the US government has done everything wrong throught this entire Covid 19 era. It is the intentional means to achieve planned ends. I don’t know the goal, but I can guess. I knew it was intentional the moment they banned the use of Ivermectin, rather than allow its use for a life-threatening disease. I mean, what is the worst it could do? Kill you, when you were going to die anyway?
The bottom line is, this has all been by design. It is all intentional.
Our big gift in the US is our states. Some of the states are opposing this and that’s where it will start.>>>. I’ve been saying this for a while. States need to put the liability for mandates squarely on the employers and have million dollar penalties for adverse effects. Also, if a bunch of mandate CEO’s get sick and die it might help.
I don’t have another explanation either.....
How long these guys think they can keep the con going?
Our rage is meaningless.
Well, it’s almost been two years now. They’ll keep it going as long as people let them. That’s why it’s just best to ignore all the gobment’s covid crap and mock those that believe in it.
My “fully vaccinated” wife is recovering from Covid but she had an adverse reaction to the monoclonal antibodies and couldn’t finish the treatment.
I, on the other hand, tested negative again yesterday after being exposed.
We are both fine thank you very much.
Sorry to hear she had an adverse reaction; allergic in nature I guess.

Bttt.

“Stolen Valor” by B.G. Burkett isn’t a “short” book either. But he needed over 600 pages to say what he needed to say about Vietnam phonies et. al.
