The Storm is Over: COVID-19 will likely be with us for the foreseeable future. It is, however, no longer a pandemic.

It is been two years and nine months since the start of the COVID pandemic. In my region of Pennsylvania, the newest milder omicron variants are certainly about, but in greatly reduced numbers compared to last year. There is relatively little morbidity. Nonetheless, we are still forced to mask at the hospital, and once a week, symptomatic or not, because I’m unvaccinated, I am expected to be tested for the virus. Unfortunately, I see no end to this.

Regarding the pandemic, I feel like one does after a dangerous storm passes through your town. You spent time in preparation, boarding the windows and staying indoors. The winds and lashing rain have passed, leaving downed trees and limbs, flooded areas, and damaged homes. There is a sense of relief mixed with a feeling of sadness over what has been lost.

In a metaphorical way, this is where we are in the aftermath of COVID. The panic and hype concerning the virus have slowly waned as people come out of their homes to survey the aftermath. Business have closed, jobs have been lost. There has been significant psychological damage, with some people experiencing residual anxiety about not just COVID, but now influenza and RSV, which have recently become prevalent. The prospect of masking during the winter respiratory virus season has been floated by health officials. and I’m once again seeing more faces hidden behind cloth.

Another measure of “COVID Concern” is the number of boosters obtained by those most obsessed. I’ve encountered people that have undergone six separate injections and will be happy to have more. They are generally not receptive to alternative information.

A new “bivalent vaccine is being offered to the public. This vaccine was hurriedly approved, essentially without any testing.

[SeekAndFind]

Unfortunately, the other half of the vaccine codes for spike from an omicron variants that are also no longer prevalent (the BA.1-5 variants). The current XBB and BQ1 variants are said to evade even the bivalent vaccine immunity. There is more and more data to suggest that the majority of hospitalizations now occur in vaccinated versus unvaccinated people.

Despite this, HHS has bizarrely suggested that we get boosted every three months. Can we finally admit that the vaccine has failed? It certainly appears that those who have been preaching the futility of a vaccine strategy for a rapidly mutating coronavirus have been right all along.

It was NEVER a pandemic.

From even before day one, it was a scam.

[mewzilla]

Have the vaxxes failed...?

Bet Deep State doesn’t think so...

[butlerweave]

It was only a Pandemic in the minds of the control freaks

[Carl Vehse]

And so far, Fauci and others have not been brought to Justice for giving aid and comfort to the domestic and foreign enemies of the United States by funding the gain-of-function research at the ChiCom laboratory.

[WeaslesRippedMyFlesh]

“Have the vaxxes failed...?”

Depends on who’s bank account your looking at.

[EEGator]

I’m not a doctor, yet I somehow knew a coronavirus would mutate and circle the globe over and over...

[Karoo]

My sister and i are in our seventies and live in rural area. We have never had COVID

If we get it, will it be harsh like the start of COVID or more milder? We took two J&J vaccines

[riri]

There is a lot of talk about it doing a number on the T-cells. Especially repeat infections

[dforest]

The vaccines are a failure. Totally a failure. I don’t think they were ever designed to work.

I am recovering from covid right now, I am getting better because I am almost 2 weeks into this.

I am unvaxed...but.....2 other ladies who got this around the same time as me are all vaxed up. One with Pfizer, the other with Moderna. It hasn’t lessened their symptoms either. I think covid can be not as bad, or somewhat worse for people depending on age and any other physical issues a person has.

Based on what I have just seen, anyone still pushing those fake and dangerous injections is a fraud and a liar.

[bray]

It was a coup.

[Deo volente]

The virus that causes COVID will probably be with us for the next 10,000 years, at least.
We may, however, boost ourselves into mass extinction if we don’t stop this nonsense.
These constant jabs are wrecking our God-given immune systems and causing all sorts of serious conditions.
Moderna and Pfizer don’t care. It’s all about mega profits.

[aMorePerfectUnion]

We got Covid when it first came to PA a couple years back.
2-3 days of a cold.
Never slowed us down.

Haven’t been concerned about it since.

Neighbors and friends got vaxxed and have had a progression of sickness. Some dead of complications, some permanently altered.

Many still living in fear, getting each booster.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

It’s the flu.

99.98% survivable unless you go to a hospital where they slap you on a ventilator and pump you full of Remdesivir for the $52,000 bounty ($13,000 for every CCP virus false-positive, another $39,000 for the respirator/remdesivir part).

[Right Brother]

Covid was merely a test for totalitarian compliance by the Marxists. They got the results they were hoping for. Buckle up.

[Chauncey Gardiner]

Never was a pandemic

[nascarnation]

Actually the strategy will backfire.
The Dems/libs are vaxxed in a much higher percentage.
The long term population trend in the US is in our favor.

[who_would_fardels_bear]

Three facts to point out to your COVID-fearing friends and family:

1. There is no cure for the common cold
2. The common cold is a corona virus
3. COVID is a corona virus

[bray]

And the population has a weakened immunity to the common cold leading to pneumonia.

Great piece at American Thinker. Thx.
