Just as Americans get used to life without masks, shutdowns and other restrictions, the White House is warning that the fall season in which the midterm elections will take place could see up to 100 million new COVID infections.
In response, according to Biden COVID response coordinator Ashish Jha, the administration is asking Congress to approve another $22.5 billion in emergency aid to pay for a fourth round of shots as well as treatments and tests.
However, as Becker News points out, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky has acknowledged that 95% of Americans have protection due to vaccination and natural immunity, and the projection of 100 million is based on a range of models. And as recent history has shown, none of those models may turn out to be close to reality.
In fact, a Johns Hopkins University study published in January found that 99% of unvaccinated people who had COVID infections gained robust natural immunity that did not wane for at least 650 days.
Becker News noted that another projected COVID "case" surge could be a pretext for implementation once again of universal mail-in balloting, which increases the possibility of fraud.
Significantly, the Axios/Ipsos Coronavirus Index found in April that fewer than one in 10 Americans now describe COVID-19 as a crisis. About three in four call it a manageable problem while one in six say it's no problem at all…

I do have more than a year’s worth of TP.
Which is a little more than I had on hand when this covid nonsense began.
Only about a year’s worth then. I wasn’t really prepared. lol
I became a fanatical prepper for Y2K and stayed one since.
After Y2K my wife was laughing at me.
During Covid she thought I was brilliant for stocking up when she saw all the empty store shelves.
(Even a broken clock gets the time right twice a day. :-) )
I have always been a prepper and I rotate through my stock. In February of 2020, I had a bad gut feeling things were going south and DH and I offered a substantial amount of money each to my brother, sister and brother-in-law to help them prep. My BIL and sister responded to me that they were already stocked up (yay), but my brother read me the riot act over my “conspiracy theories”.
Guess which one recently reached out to us for a loan?
ROTFL
Isn’t it funny how your status waxes and wanes as the shifting winds of time go by?
And yet you probably feel like you’ve pretty much been the same guy all along just doing what you do. :)
I have two refrigerators and thus two freezers. I’d be hard pressed to wedge one more 1 lb. package of anything in either of them. If I had the space for it I’d have acquired a chest freezer too. Dry goods and canned in supply beyond their likely usability. Time to crank up the garden as well.
“Guess which one recently reached out to us for a loan?”
Interesting.
We just had a leftist family member beg for money, complained about “inflation”.
They voted for it, they own it!
I would wager that your family member has not put 2 and 2 together yet either.
