In a Thursday interview with Spanish newspaper El Pais, Dr. Ian Lipkin, director of the Center for Infection and Immunity at Columbia’s Mailman School of Public Health, said that the novel coronavirus may never go away.

Lipkin said that it is likely future generations will be vaccinated against COVID-19, but noted that additional booster doses may be necessary. The expert described the progress in vaccine development as “staggering,” suggesting that vaccines developed by Moderna and Pfizer will be able to significantly reduce the spread of the virus.

“It is going to be a recurring problem. I don’t think life will ever be completely normal again.”

I agree with this. But not because of the virus. Because politicians have tasted power over us that they've only dreamed they could have up until now. They won't give it up. There will always be another crisis that requires them to put a boot on our neck to save us.

They finally found the right scheme to take over the world without having armed conflict to get it. If they had known spreading the flu would bring the world to a stop they would of done this long ago!

“Covid lock downs are a tyrant’s dream. They can do anything and say it’s for public health. I don’t trust any of them that lock down and force oppressive actions on the people.”

Look at our Blue States controlled by tyrants for proof of your statement!

So, how many decades/centuries until humans evolve into having the snout filter being part of the physical make up and look like something from the StarWars bar scene? Or, adapt or die.

And yet, as of today, 300+ million Americans haven’t died or contracted CV-19. Although three of our friends currently have it. All seem to be on the road to recovery.

Remember that one time in the early 1900s that a major pandemic didn’t cause socialism despite not having nearly the medical advances we now take for granted?

“ They can do anything and say it’s for public health.”

That is why universal, government run healthcare is the linchpin of communism.

Spot on. I'm betting that we'll see "climate change" become an "urgent public health emergency" down the road requiring all sorts of restrictions. For our own good, and the good of Mother Gaia, naturally.

If the experts claim the inevitable is the real case, make HCQ, Zinc Sulfate and Azithromycin OTC and let people self medicate themselves just like they do with the common cold. These politicians and experts have killed a hell of a lot of people...... It seems the experts are following the money.

Right..... Like no other disease ever......

"We need shutdowns for weeks to slow the spread until hospitals can prepare."

It looks like we are going to have to shoot our way out of lockdowns.

No matter how much FEAR the left commies try to instill, people are wising up. This virus has a death rate no worse than the flu. Masks and face shields are worthless. Most have been exposed anyway. Many people got it and didn’t even know they had it and now have antibodies.
This China virus is designed by the left in cahoots with China to destroy our economy and introduce COMMUNISM by having every lone dependent on government handouts to CONTROL US.
Do NOT go along with this.

It’s not Black Death on steroids.

Life can be normal again and would be if the dems just gave up there bloodlust for power and control.

More BS, NWO fear-mongering and WHO propaganda. This clown, Dr. Ian Lipkin, is selling fear.

Yes, COVID-19 existence will never go away, but the fear will die as soon as these fear-peddlers/brokers are silenced. It is all orchestrated by the globalists/Marxist elites that need fear as their means to change society/governance into a central-state propagandized structured.

It’s a game to these despots/oligarchs. A game of dominance and demigods.

[[They finally found the right scheme to take over the world without having armed conflict to get it. I]]

In the end times God will send a powerful delusion that will grip the entire world. A lie will become the new truth

One has to wonder if this is that lie? The lie will be used to control the world. And in order to buy and sell, a person will have toworshiporpledge allegiance to the beast and take the mark.

Many liberals are pushing the idea that one must have the vaccine in order to be out in public places. This is just one step off from forcing folks to take the mark in order to do anything

The deadliest part of Corona Virus is “Renowned Heath Experts”. With the insane MSM they will never go away.

I hope the Media enjoyed its boy crying wolf moment...

Apparently a school nurse at a mailman school is a CNN “Renowned Helth expert”. Should have stuck with the anonymous source line.
