I guess I was wrong - sort of. I had predicted just a couple of days ago that Omicron would fail to generate much of a fear response. My prediction was that the entities that need to keep the fear up would next try two variants at once. Instead we get mutations of mutations.
Well, I guess I can claim partial credit on my prediction. We now have two at once, just two variants of a variant...er...what? Hey, give them credit for conserving Greek alphabet letters! ;-)
It is becoming increasingly difficult to take anything said in relation to covid, vaccines, mandates, masks, etc. seriously. It is just absurd. It is all absurd.
They mentioned that this new variant of the variant is more difficult to differentiate in the test.
Prediction: the next variant, or variant on the variant, will be claimed to completely elude tests. Maybe even not have any symptoms or only mild symptoms. (similar to Omicron)
That way they can get the fear back up - "You may have covid and not know it, not be able to test for it!" "Your friends and family may have covid and not know it, not be able to test for it!"
They sort of floated this idea early on in the scam-demic when it was theorized that 80% of the people that had covid didn't even know it. That didn't get much traction then, but we know how the left likes to dust off old ideas and keep re-trying them.
Of course it is going to be hard to generate much fear for their flea-circus covid variant that you can't see or test for - who cares? Right? Well, that's where the fear porn will have to take a new tactic - this variant you may not even know you have can turn into a bad variant later - trust us. So you'll want to get vaccinated and boosted to protect yourself.
Or, even better. The new undetectable, symptom-free variant will be blamed for all kinds of long term bad effects - such as blood clotting, Myocarditis, Pericarditis, Guillain-Barre syndrome... You know, all the side effects associated with the vaccines. They'll now be blamed on this new covid variant and in a beautifully deft move, pivoted to be justifications for more vaccines and boosters.
Any takers? Any bets?
