Uses for Pandemics:
- manipulate elections
- curb inflation
- punish industries or favor industries
It’s like there is almost no end to the usefulness of a pandemic!

We went through this same crap last Christmas. Which was already nine months after "just two weeks to stop the spread."
Most of my extended family wouldn't even see my wife and I last Christmas because they were so frightened about the big bad virus. They promised to make up for it this year.
Now, in recent days, some of them are calling us and saying "It might not be a good idea for you guys to come over..." because unfortunately, they still watch mainstream media and are getting frightened all over again.
The underlying objective here of course is to destroy the family and to destroy the traditions that help keep them together such as Christmas and Thanksgiving.

I like it. Even better, they should be quarantined in detention camps, just to keep them extra safe.
We will be brave, we'll party and feast with our family and friends. It's tough but someone has to do it.

The elite are demonically controlled and HATE Christianity and want to eradicate any trace of it from civilization.
They can go jump in the lake.

Exactly.
They are trying to erase everything from our culture and society that gives us identity as Americans.
We CANNOT let that happen.

Completely brainwashed by CNN sheep who are scared of their own shadows.

I think it would be better if each American family takes in an illegal immigrant coming into America from Sud Afrika for the holidays. REALLY prove they are not “wasis”.

Maybe this could help with family and friends.
In the US, there have been about 804,000 fatalities where covid was on the death certificatee, out of about 330MM people.
However, per CDC, about 94% of the death certificates had more than one comorbidity like diabetes, heart disease, etc. Thus, about 48,240 fatalities came purely from COVID19 or roughly 27,600 fatalities a year.
That means there is a roughly 1-in-12,000 chance of dying from COVID19 each year.
By contrast, there is a 1-in-8,393 chance of dying in a car crash annually.
In other words, there is greater risk of dying in the car ride to the Christmas Celebration than in the Celebration itself.
Now, that's math. You can't fake math.
I doubt it'll help, but it can't hurt.

I've been looking around for those bodies, I got nothing. Just the news media shrieking day in day out "OMG! Omicron! Oh the humanity!!" while presenting no concrete evidence as to why it's allegedly so bad.

Exactly. Just don’t celebrate Easter this year, so we can celebrate memorial day, just don’t celebrate memorial day so we can celebrate the Fourth of July, just don’t celebrate the Fourth of July so we can celebrate Halloween, etc.

I just stepped outside and there are at least ten bodies lying on the ground on my block alone. I’m staying in my closet triple-masked until this thing is over.
