Will the United Kingdom’s return to normal force Biden’s hand?

Tick, Tick, Tick…. Is the End Nigh?

The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom was facing an immediate political death sentence, so what did he do? He declared the pandemic over.

The question now on this side of the pond: Will Joe Biden—himself facing a political death sentence, though admittedly a few months away—learn anything from Boris Johnson?

As the already relatively-weak omicron variant wheezes towards its nadir, the calls to end COVID-related restrictions—to remove the elephant that has been sitting on the congested chest of the world—have grown louder and more insistent.

This increasing clamor has already appeared to cause an attitudinal shift amongst the denizens of the “caring-industrial complex,” with the groundwork to prepare the pandemic pathologicals amongst us for the upcoming change already begun. Reporting “with COVID” instead of “from COVID,” death rates instead of case rates now being referenced, and quarantine timings being shifted – all of these recent changes in media coverage and the CDC’s pronouncements are a hint of what is coming.

Looking at the evidence: Britain’s action, Denmark’s decision Wednesday to follow suit, massive public protests over the weekend, and a piece from The Lancet (the formerly well-respected science publication that unscientifically crushed the discussion of the COVID lab leak hypothesis) on the coming end of the pandemic. There can be no doubt a paradigm shift (in the actual meaning of the term) is underway.

All of this makes the argument within the administration even stronger for Biden to take the risk and claim victory by ending the pandemic. While it is true that Johnson—for political reasons—was unable to finesse the timing and had it thrust upon him (just as Marge Simpson’s sister, Selma, had celibacy thrust upon her), the decision can still be instructive to the Biden administration.

Biden doesn’t know what day it is. He has 2 brain cells left from the 5 he started with.

Who is the strongest of the control freaks? Who will refuse to lift their mandates? Might be fun to watch.

The UK still hasn’t lifted the “mandates” on employees of their national health system. The deadline for getting vaxxed is getting close, and it is expected that the government will fire thousands of hospital staff and other NHS employees. So this isn’t quite as “over” as it sounds.

But, but, but everyone is encouraged to go outside and “clap for their health care heroes!” They were heroes in 2020- the government can’t turn their backs on them now! /s

Hospital workers, teachers, Postal Service. I don’t know when America has produced as many heroes as we’re doing now.

--- "The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom was facing an immediate political death sentence, so what did he do? He declared the pandemic over."

Bottom line.

This pandemic is built on shoddy taxonomy, Chinese fear porn at the outset and bad original data in January of 2020, two months BEFORE the pandemic was declared.

Many nations are now declaring it over for essentially being politically unpopular. So among the foundations of this world "event" has been politics, bolstered by world media beating its drum to amplify fear, FEAR, FEAR.

A few other nations are becoming more severe, which will cause further socioeconomic and political disarray.

Some consistent worldwide pandemic response, eh?

And at the center of the storm is the world's WORST pandemic response, as has been led by Fauci, the NIH, CDC and FDA. The "official data" proves this.

No Biden won’t end it. We’re going to war with Russia, that’ll fix everything.

If the NHS is a horrible mess now and it’s very difficult to get treatment it is going to get a whole lot worse very soon

When are all of these pundants and commentators going to quit referring to these various decisions as something that Biden has decided. The man is in a perpetual fog, anything he decides somebody told him to decide. That being the case, knowing that the people running Biden are fanatical despotic leftists, we can safely predict that they are not going to back off.

I firmly believe that the people handling Biden are willing to risk an armed insurrection on the scale of a civil war in order to cement their power permanently.

They are willing to turn the United States into a carbon copy of Venezuela if it keeps them in power.
