"Our vaccination rate was so high that we let our guard down."

I'm surprised that wasn't edited out.

Bodies piled like cord wood a mile high and where the living envy the dead

Let’s first talk about how much disaster relief booty was swindled by their polis before we start trusting anything they report regarding how much money they want or think they’re entitled to for covid ‘cases’.

It is now like just like a bad cold. Vaccinations don’t stop it.

Time to pivot to global warming or Jan 6th.

There are no effective rules. There are mandates, and shaming sessions, and completely useless directives, and a vast amount of misinformation from “official” sources, but no coherent and meaningful rules.

As it turns out, neither the wearing of masks nor the injection of mRNA vaccines do much of anything to prevent or even minimize the transmission of COVID-19 Wuhan virus, and prohibiting people from attending events is just kicking the can down the road.

There are effective and easily administered CURES for the COVID-19 virus, but it has been expressly PROHIBITED to make these courses of treatment available to the patients, with the apparent intention of FORCING the disease to progress to the point where it is mandatory they be admitted to a hospital, where the patient may be “officially” counted.

OK, and how many people are actually dying? And if any, are they dying with or of Covid? And, as importantly, were they vaccinated, and how long ago?

Turn it into a penal colony big enough for full employment. $15/hr would be a good wage down there. Even 20.

No cure for COVID. No cure for any “virus” actually. There are therapeutics however which is how we will treat this when humanity comes to its senses.

Cases, cases, cases. Wrong way to measure this.

Notice that they’re only talking about “cases”- not deaths.

Bring back the pharma industry, which was the biggest non-governmental source of employment before the tax code was changed in the 1990s.

Most of the ‘case explosion’ after a holiday week has to do with delayed reporting.

Massive hype over “CASES!” but two words are totally missing from entire article: “death” and “died.”
