The COVID Hypochondriacs Think They’re Saving the World, But They're Actually Destroying It
Townhall.com ^ | March 8, 2021 | Scott Morefield

Posted on 03/08/2021 4:16:51 AM PST by Kaslin

The United States recently passed a grim “milestone” of sorts with over 500,000 deaths being attributed in some way to COVID-19. What this really means, of course, is that more than 500,000 mostly super-old and/or mostly super-sick people have died who, at some point prior to or at their deaths, discovered COVID-19 in their systems thanks to super-sensitive PCR testing that may or may not have been correct. Sadly, that’s the extent of what we know for sure at this point, though our overlords pretend they know everything while consistently being proven wrong weeks later.

Half a million is a big number, for sure, but around 3 million people die in this country every year, to the tune of well over 7,000 every single day. Yes, there have been excess deaths caused by COVID, but those are probably two-thirds of that grim number we constantly see on the TV ticker. Further, overall deaths over the coming years are likely to be significantly lower as we find that COVID-19 took many people weeks and months earlier than they otherwise would have gone.

I don’t point these things out to be insensitive or disrespectful of the dead, but I do think society has lost all sense of perspective. All death is tragic and sad, especially for those who lose loved ones, and my intention is not to minimize any of it. It is, however, my responsibility to point out that, as absurd as it sounds, a significant proportion of the population of this country seems to have forgotten that we are all, at some point, going to die. Indeed, even as 500,000 were dying of or with COVID-19, 660,000 others were dying of heart disease, and 600,000 were dying of cancer. Where, pray tell, is the national memorial for them?

The truth is, throughout human history, the chance has ALWAYS existed that one could transmit a virus or pathogen either directly or indirectly to someone already super old, super sick, and/or super vulnerable (i.e. immunocompromised) and that that virus or pathogen could play a part in someone’s death. Humans have been at least to some degree aware of this for hundreds of years. It’s not that society shouldn’t be wary of germs and viruses and take reasonable, sustainable precautions against them. But THIS? What has gone on over the past YEAR? To say these draconian lockdowns, unscientific mandates, and bizarre restrictions have been entirely disproportionate to the actual threat would be the understatement of the century. They have been a gross, pathological, hard-to-believe-it’s-not-intentional OVERreaction.

Seemingly out of nowhere, society has turned itself into a pretzel in a futile attempt to prevent anyone from dying of or with COVID-19, even though the survival rate is well above 99.5% and the vast majority of those who have died with the virus would have likely soon been dead of something else. We have destroyed livelihoods, futures, and even lives in this Quixotic quest, yet have accomplished absolutely nothing except paving the way for further tyranny down the road exchanged for a false sense of security and protection. In the name of ‘saving’ humanity, we have tragically undermined and destroyed so many things that bring joy to life.

So where does this all end? Vaccine distribution has been ramping up, and Johnson & Johnson is in the game now with a one-shot non-RNA vaccine that could be a game-changer for those who are hesitant. I’m skeptical, but if vaccines ‘work’ to get the fearful feeling good enough to end this charade, that’s good enough for me. Yet, despite increasing vaccination rates and declining infection numbers, Team Apocalypse refuses to budge and are now literally mask-shaming Texas and Mississippi for ending their unconstitutional mandates.

Now, Dr. Fauci wants fewer than 10,000 cases a day to even consider relaxing restrictions, a number that hasn’t been reached since the beginning of the pandemic. The often untold reality is, while vaccines may (hopefully) help, they will never eliminate COVID-19 entirely. This virus will ALWAYS be with us, albeit hopefully in a less lethal form. Given that and based on their actions so far, is there evidence our overlords don't intend for the current measures of masking, restrictions, and social distancing to last for years, if not forever, at least in the areas they control?

Zero-COVID, obviously, is the ‘goal’ of the psychopaths who want to use this pandemic to impose their twisted policy aims on society, and people like Fauci and others who advise President Biden are increasingly looking like they adhere to this ridiculous notion. If ZERO COVID is the impossible goal now, this insane 'New Normal’ we’ve been experiencing for nary on a year will NEVER go away. Not without a fight anyway.

We are living in a time when most people seem to believe that appalling (in any era) assaults on individual liberties are completely worth it if they provide the off-chance that SOME lives could maybe, possibly, conceivably be prolonged by a few weeks or a few months. The irrational fear these hypochondriacs can’t let go of has made life intolerable for the living in countless places worldwide. Consequently, we’ve been watching the world die a slow, self-inflicted death. It’s time to choose life. It's past time to fight back against the fear and the fearmongers, assess the risk, and live our lives to the fullest. Because COVID or not, none of us are guaranteed tomorrow.

It was a ruse from the get-go. Its objective was,
1.To destroy the Trump economy, and
2.To force mail-in voting upon the nation to get rid of Trump.

Mission accomplished. Now they are institutionalizing the ruse with HR 1 the "Voting Rights" bill. . which should be titled, "Voting Control" bill.

Also, the CDC allows for probable/presumed cases based upon as little as having having shortness of breath and having travelled to or lived in an area with sustained, ongoing community transmission of SARS-CoV-2. Or shortness of breath and and just being a senior citizen or having “close contact” with another probable case.

Below are the pertinent excerpts far that criteria from the CDC page Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Bold emphasis is sometimes added by me:

…CSTE realizes that field investigations will involve evaluations of persons with no symptoms and these individuals will need to be counted as cases.

Probable

OR

Epidemiologic Linkage

One or more of the following exposures in the 14 days before onset of symptoms:

OR

The above provide minimal criteria by which a person can be classed as being having Covid-19 and dying of the same based upon as little as having having shortness of breath and having travelled to or lived in an area with sustained, ongoing community transmission of SARS-CoV-2. Or shortness of breath and and just being a senior citizen or having “close contact” with another probable case.

And for which hospitals can indeed obtain more gov. funding for them.[2]

Based upon this criteria we can easily surmise that many cases and deaths are being classed as Covid-19 when in reality they are something else, including the flu (cases of which are very low).

It is true that many Covid-19 cases and deaths are not reported, however, unlike cases in which about have have no symptoms, I think it is far more likely that there are more deaths being reported as by Covid-19 then that are missed. The reason for this is because those with symptoms are much more likely to have been tested and diagnosed as having Covid-19 and those with symptoms of the ones most likely to die.

Scott Morefield has devoted probably 90% of his columns to this subject to over a year, now. So, no, he is not only realizing this now.

I’m sure he “realized” it long before now, but the more people who come forward - even the same people insistently repeating the same thing - the better, and the harder they are to ignore.

We can’t do much about what has happened, but it should NEVER be allowed to happen again. And it’s only when the people - not the government - realize that they’ve been played and overcome their fears that they will have enough courage to resist.

Yes. For me, it was around the end of April when I fully accepted exactly that explanation.

In February and March, we didn’t know much about it. Beginning in April 2020...information began to come out about the virus and it didn’t jibe with what they were doing in government.

It’s all about instilling, and perpetuating fear...for control.

Covid Cowardice is far more dangerous than the Chinese Cooties ... we don’t know yet what the recovery rate from Covid Cowardice will be as a relative few Americans have recovered even after a year.

Derp State feature, not a bug.

Don't slam this guy too hard for being late to the party. We need all the articles and voices like this we can get to shut this fiasco down.

So I say, bravo, bravo, author!
