On Oct. 30, 2020, just days before the presidential election, Joe Biden tweeted, “I’m not going to shut down the country. I’m not going to shut down the economy. I’m going to shut down the virus.”
This was a lie.
It was a lie because nobody can shut down the virus.
Government does not have the power to end disease, as a general matter. When it comes to a wildly transmissible coronavirus specifically, no government can end the virus. Even the sainted Dr. Anthony Fauci has admitted as much: “We’re never going to eradicate this … elimination may be too aspirational.”
This means that government should not aim for elimination; it can aim for some level of control. That control must be balanced with countervailing concerns, ranging from suppression of economic freedom to the effects of social isolation.
This means that the lowest-cost intervention was the incentivization and distribution of vaccines — a service performed by the Trump administration. The worst form of control would be overbroad, coercive restrictions that fail to achieve their objectives.
And yet it is precisely those forms of control now being sought by Democratic mayors and governors, as well as the Biden administration. To make such tactics even more puzzling, Democrats are pursuing such restrictions in the face of an extraordinarily transmissible variant — some 70 times more transmissible than delta — that has far lower death rates than prior variants.

Doing things backwards or all wrong is what this administration does, no matter the subject.
We live in Biden Bizarro World.

What Laboratories Should Know:
There are no authorized, cleared, or approved diagnostic tests to specifically detect SARS-CoV-2 variants (Omicron or other variants). Currently, COVID-19 tests are designed and authorized to check broadly for the SARS-CoV-2 virus, not for specific variants.
The Omicron variant has a deletion in the spike (S) gene (Δ69-70). Some molecular tests with multiple genetic targets include a target covering the portion of the S gene where the deletion occurs. The presence of this mutation can result in an S-gene target failure (SGTF, also referred to as an S-gene drop out). The S-gene target will fail (return as negative) while other targets are expected to remain positive in the presence of this virus. SGTF can signal the need for sequencing to characterize the variant in a specimen.
SGTF has been observed in other variants and thus is not specific to the Omicron variant.
Midterm variant..
2024 presidential election variant..
Rinse and repeat.
Don’t worry, our Republican leadership will shut the Government down before it closes our businesses! They will not stand for tyranny of any sort. They have our back…with a knife
How about some low cost treatments versus a fake vaccine that doesn’t work?

I would have bet money that Ben Shapiro was wise to the Globalist Conspiracy and our Deep State commie-libs to take over the world; which includes a reduction of the global population by 5+ billion souls. This requires killing off billions of us, as well as reducing reproduction drastically so that us dear departed do not get replaced by new young ‘uns. And IMHO, Covid is the primary tool by which they intend to snuff us supernumeraries. And they will reduce the birthrate by giving our children toxic jabs that destroy their reproductive systems. But yet, Ben’s remarks seem to indicate that he thinks these stringent govt actions are all due to incompetence. Nah! It’s intentional. It will become more obvious with the passing of time.
Throughout recorded history political leaders have been held responsible for the health and welfare of their people.
It doesn’t matter if it is droughts, famines, or earthquakes, the leader is responsible for protecting the people. In a plague, the leader may establish various new requirements to stop the plague. Again, history is full of such examples.
So we have the Biden Administration. Can they stop the pandemic? Nope, only God can. So, in order to look like they are actually doing something, the Biden Administration is issuing vaccine mandates, travel bans, mask mandates, etc.
We should all wait a few more months and then start calling the pandemic illness the “Biden flue.”
It’s the pissin’ back’rds administration.
We really don’t need this Shapiro guy. I can’t understand why people actually listen to him.
Is he controlled or just lacking in insight? I don’t know, though I suspect it is both.
Biden was doing the same thing the media excoriated Trump for. He wasn’t speaking literally about shutting down COVID-19. He was speaking figuratively. It didn’t happen, but it wasn’t what I would call a lie.
“I’m from the government and here to help.
Ignore the gun; thank you for your cooperation and avoiding penalty.”
It’s not about the virus. It’s about power. Anything that moves tehm closer to absolute power is good in LibWorld.
