A light at the end of the COVID tunnel? A health policy expert and surgeon at Johns Hopkins University says the United States is a few months away from nearing herd immunity

A dreadful year of COVID madness, with crazy recommendations such as wearing double-masks, is, hopefully, nearing an end.

According to Dr. Marty Makary, a health policy expert and surgeon at Johns Hopkins University, the United States is nearing herd immunity, which refers to a situation in a community when enough people are immune to a disease to prevent its spread to others who are not protected. This immunity can be achieved through vaccines and natural infection.

Sadly, the hysterical mainstream news media, their allies in Big Tech, along with the Biden administration and many Democratic governors, are not reporting the good news that is happening in the country. Their motivation is to keep Americans in a state of total fear. Fortunately, the good news is overwhelming the attempts to suppress the truth.

In a recent Fox News interview, Makary noted that "[t]here is a 77% reduction in daily cases over the last six weeks. You, as a scientist, have to ask why. We cannot explain that by vaccinated immunity. We can't explain it by a sudden change in behavior. It is natural immunity, and it's now over 50% of the population."

Instead of celebrating this news, Democratic governors and President Joe Biden among others are doubling down on the COVID mandates. A recent example is Biden's new executive order requiring the wearing of masks on all federal property.

In a Wall Street Journal article, Makary wrote that the country currently has an "extremely low level of infection." He predicted that at the "current trajectory, I expect COVID will be mostly gone by April, allowing Americans to resume normal life."

So here are some suggestions for writing on the outer mask with broad tipped Sharpie:

F.U. Wuhan

F.U. Biden

"46" = NMP

F.U. FauXi

CCP
CootieCatcher

The dirty little secret here is that there is money in sick people. The more sick people, the more money. No money in dead ones. As long as they have a pulse you can yell “COVID!”.

The other little secret here is that not everyone who is claiming to have Covid actually has it. There is the ‘’high risk’’ category. Which is essentially saying "Well, they might have it''' so that number gets mixed in with the total count of actual Covid cases. Again, the end result here is money.

The agenda is money. There's money in sick people. It's like illegal immigration. Schools get money per pupil. More kids, more money. In hospitals it's the same thing with Covid. The more sick people,i.e. Covid, the more money. As this thing runs it's course, and it will, all the Covid junkies, doctors, ''health experts'' on CNN and Fox and all the cabal making money on this are going to go through some hard, political and economic cold turkey when there is no more ''pandemic''.

That is true. When I heard that hospitals were getting something like $13,000 extra for admitting a covid patient and something like $39,000 for putting them on a ventilator, I began to thinh differently about the entire situation.

When they put someone on a ventilator they have to give them strong drugs in order to keep them in a comatose state. That one hospital in NY which was considered point zero of the covid mess, there was a nurse there who reported that they were admitting people and claiming they had tested positive, but the charts said otherwise. She said that these people had a little congestion and they were scared and they were put into rooms with covid-infected people. She also said that every person that was put on a ventilator, including those who were not covid positive, all of them died except for one guy who was a drug addict and the drugs were not strong enough for him and he pulled out all the ventilator and all the hoses himself. He was the only one who did not die who had been put on a ventilator.

I hate being lied to by people who have an agenda and have enough money to make all their evil dreams come true.

But, what did populations do before vaccines? The little infecting buggers died out because they could not replicate inside a new host. That is nature simply doing its job, with or without vaccines.

Hospitals will do everything possible to keep this going. They’ve never had an opportunity to have this kind of funding before and they’ll be damned if they’re going to let this go.

I’ll take the word of a practicing surgeon over government bureaucrat Fauci. The medical professionals should be coming forward to dismiss Wuhan Lab supporter Fauci.
