Flubros and Flubras! Day 134 (a place for Flubros and Flubras)

It’s just the flu, bro.

I was thinking about the obvious - money motivates people. In socialist countries with public health care there is an incentive for seniors to die - they are an economic burden due to health care and they don’t pay much, if anything, in income taxes. This is not only true in socialist countries. It is also true in countries/states with bad debt and deficit problems, in addition to some degree of socialist health care (eg medicare/medicaid). Could hydroxychloroquine suppression and sending CV positive people into seniors homes by done intentionally so as to save money? Sure, as long as the politician can deflect away much of the blame that goes with Covid deaths.

Another money motivator that has happened with CV is getting paid by the federal government for taking care of CV people (39k). Similarly, a hospital that is capable of billing unlimited CV “adders” to insurers would be motivated to have CV patients.

What is the point of discussing these motivators? - there is an excellent chance that the published death rate in a country is substantially driven by these financial incentives. High financial incentives leads to high CV death rates - eg. NY has financial issues and socialized health care areas in Northern Europe such as Belgium have highest deaths per million in the world. Low CV death rates are occurring in poor nations which don’t have these financial motivators.

How many dead from traffic accidents so far this year? How about Aids? Falling in the bathtub? Suicide?

Give it a few more decades and I’m sure they can get to the 2 million figure. ;)

My perspective may be unique because my wife and brother, on opposite sides of the country, almost died of the flu two years ago. Four weeks for one and six for the other with an ER visit - and WITH a flu shot.

This thing is a manufactured crisis.

BTW, check out Sweden. It’s over there with NO lockdown.

One of my son’s coworkers came down covid, he was on another team or division. One of the other team members is high risk (obese) and was complaining about his safety, so the company decontaminated the work area and sent all of the other team members for testing. All eight remaining team members tested positive for antibodies.

Transcript of internal debate at the CDC:

Fauci: Hey, guess what? We did it! We finally forced them all to wear masks!

Redfield: You’re kidding?

Birx: No f**king way!

Adams: Even POTUS?

Fauci: Yes, even POTUS, he finally caved!

Birx: Cool! So Tony, what do we do now?

Fauci: First I think I’ll show up at a baseball game NOT wearing one, just so I can lord it over everybody how we are the ones who are really superior to them.

Redfield: That would be AWESOME! But once you’ve done that what are we ever going to do to top this?

Fauci: That’s easy....goggles! Face shields!

Adams: ooooooh....I like the way you think Tony!

Fauci: Twelve hours after I’m done giving my interview to
CNN the lawn and garden shelves at Home Depot are
gonna look like the toilet paper section at Target
in April.

Birx: If we can make them wear masks AND shields, why, we
can make them wear ANYTHING!

Fauci: Yes, indeed. Ankle bracelets, cowboy hats,
those silk disco shirts that went out of style in 1979, handcuffs lined with fur...

Adams: Ballgags? Please please PLEASE can we do ballgags?

Fauci: No, Jerome, no one would ever see them under the
masks.

Redfield: I know....let’s make them wear their underwear
on the OUTSIDE! I saw that one in a movie once.
It was hilarious!

Birx: I don’t know. Wearing my bra on the outside? The
Playtex Pretty Petite #304 clashes with most of my
scarves.

Fauci: All in favor.....

A few here where I work have supposedly had it, and are now back at work. They say they were confirmed cases. But what happened to contact tracing? No word from any health agency, the company itself, or HR. Those who tested positive say it was not as near as bad as the flu for them.

Yet, when a MLB team member gets it they test everyone, cancel games and quarantine all the players.

Kinda like when this morning when I heard a reporter describing Hurricane Isaias (which the eye passed directly over my house here in NC) as an Apocalyptic event. In actuality, it was a rainstorm. Media hype.

Hey, K: Please let me know when "TOTAL DEAD" hits 500,000 (that is, one-quarter of the original projection of two million dead, a prediction by "The Experts" last March that clearly frightened you to beyond reason). Then we can begin to consider if the continuing gross overreaction by governors, unelected bureaucrats and "The Experts" is justified.

Until that time, the pain and human suffering caused, not by the virus but by governors and unelected bureaucrats, supported by their promoters in the media is nothing less than naked tyranny ... and the resulting panic porn that consumes Kozak's every waking hour is, quite sadly, nothing less than increasing irrational fear. (Whew! That felt good!)

The next time Rand Paul or Jim Jordan get a shot at Fauci in a hearing they really need to grill him about his personal financial stake in vaccines.
