Global COVID-19 herd immunity is unlikely to be achieved this year — even as countries race to administer vaccines, the World Health Organization’s chief scientist warned this week.

Dr. Soumya Swaminathan said Monday it’s critical that countries still encourage social distancing and other public health measures for the foreseeable future.

It’s complete and total control. Count on a permanent lockdown coming next week. Biden’s already said it’s in the offing.

Nope. Andrew Cuomo and other Dems are already talking about reopening.

Election’s over, you know.

Translation from New Speak into plain English:
“Individual Freedom Unlikely in 2021 ... or in the future.”

Wishful thinking. The Dems are going to wrench the control levers over to max in very short order. Count on it.

Where’s that jackass publicity hound Fauci.

He hasn’t made an audacious comment recently, or did I miss it?

Have we reached herd immunity to the flu yet?

They can’t wait to unleash the Jr Nazis, in every small town and big cities, across America.
You know them well..they enforce the rules ..even though they don’t follow them..the one’s don’t mind their own business and spread rumors base on made gossip.

Read the hypocrite and weep. From this morning:

"If we float along relying solely on the vaccine – the way many states are – we are looking at months of shutdowns and the economic, mental and spiritual hardship they bring." ... the governor admitted that if New York waited until the vaccine was available to all of the state’s residents before reopening, the state would have "nothing left to open."

I know, it SEEMS like the Dems would NEVER do anything so obviously hypocritical, but here you are:

Has the WHO gotten anything at all right in the last year?

As the Master of Democracy would often state, “eating carrots can lead to loss of life. Studies show that everyone who has eaten this deadly vegetable will eventually die.”

Yes they will.

In fact, we all need to stop eating.

Perhaps the wisest of us, will remind the Leftists of these
facts and watch their numbers dwindle.

They’re really in to this type of logic.

Really, not even a vaccine is good enough, WTF is that? It’s 2021, I’m not doing the mask right now. If it means getting thrown out of restaurants and grocery stores, OK, whatever. For the grocery store, I’ll just have my wife continue to click-list it and I’ll stop popping by the deli for lunch. 2% of my county has gotten Covid since Feb. 2020 and of those that have had it, 0.3% have died (and it’s not some little hick town, my county’s population is 260,000). If they want to stop me from going hiking, good luck fencing off the 400 mile perimeter of Utah’s west desert. They’ll have to arrest my ass. They tried and failed last year in screwing me out of Spring Break at a state park in central Nevada.

There’d better be a cop in every storefront to enforce it. They won’t.
