Biden, in Shift, Prepares Americans to See Covid-19 as Part of Life ... Before Omicron surge, president said in July the nation was ‘closer than ever to declaring our independence from a deadly virus’

WASHINGTON—As Covid-19 cases climb across the U.S., President Biden and his administration are preparing Americans to accept the virus as a part of daily life, in a break from a year ago when he took office with a pledge to rein in the pandemic and months later said the nation was “closer than ever to declaring our independence from a deadly virus.”

The recalibration of Mr. Biden’s message comes as the country braces for another round of disruptions wrought by the pandemic. A growing number of schools temporarily have returned to virtual instruction and many businesses are strained by staffing shortages, in both cases due to infections triggered by the highly transmissible Omicron variant. Thursday marked the 12th straight day of more than 1,000 flight cancellations, and many states warned that ongoing testing shortages will make it harder to return people to work and school.

It’s not JUST Biden - they are all chronic and habitual liars who will change positions every twelve hours if they perceive it to be in their interests.

Translation: unsolicited mail-in ballots and ballot harvesting (election rigging) will become part of life, because Dems can’t win elections on the issues.

Wait, Biden said he was going to end Covid because that feckless Trump wouldn’t! And, Biden said he was going to cure cancer too!

Absolutely right. They have zero fundamental principles. They will do whatever it takes to keep them in office and keeps the gravy flowing into their accounts. They are pure evil.

They have done an outstanding job of creating a world of fear. I spent six months in free Idaho (July - December) and people there live their lives as normal. You’d think nothing was going on. Maybe 3% of people on the street have masks on. Businesses are opening and expanding. Housing is in short supply.

I just returned to tyrannical California. Maybe 3% of people DO NOT have masks on. You get nagged everywhere “Put your mask on. Do it to keep me safe.” My barber cut my hair yesterday and I had to keep the mask on during the entire haircut. There are many more vacant stores and restaurants than there were just six short months ago. The fear is palpable and pervasive and there’s a gloom on the whole world here.

Yet the numbers of cases, hospitalizations and deaths isn’t that much different between the two states. What an astonishing contrast. No wonder Blue states are losing people all over the nation.

I’ve been on this earth for many, many years and lived through a lot. I have never in my long life seen such a mitigated disaster (lying, fraud & attempted mind control) as this covid hoax! The virus is real. The response is a joke on steriods!!

This is because COVID is nothing more than the flu. Get sick, stay in bed, drink plenty of fluids, take vitamin D, C and Zinc and it goes away in a couple of days.

Whether it is recognized or not, we are in Great Depression II. Supply chain problems, rampant lawlessness, unlivable cities, burgeoning inflation, unwillingness to take the necessary steps to curb threats to the health of the whole nation, and almost complete failure in foreign matters at every juncture.

We have become the Third Reich in January 1945 without the SS to keep civilian order.

Here's an interesting argument about Omicron.
Health Experts Say Omicron is a “Natural Vaccine”, No Need for Booster Jabs (1.6.22)

Insights welcome.

Viruses gonna virus.
The damned thing will be with us for at least another 10,000 years. It’s a coronavirus and it mutates constantly, like a cold virus. Now it’s running away from all the ‘vaccines’ and ‘boosters’. The only hope is to coexist with it and the odds are great that it will end up causing nothing more than a bad cold for almost everyone. The virus does best when it doesn’t kill its hosts. Provide therapeutics rather than these experimental mRNA jabs, but the profits are much less for simple treatments that actually work.

Thank you, Chinese Communist Party, for unleashing this on the world!

“Great Depression II”

It is much worse than that. It is the collapse of all of Western Civilization.

Read the following very carefully and explain how any one in this world can believe anything that this corrupt, lying bastard says……anyone who believed this fantasy deserves Joe Biden.

“A lot of you understand what loss is and when loss occurs, you know that people come up to you and tell you ‘I understand’ if you lose a husband, a wife, a son, a daughter, a family member,” he said. “That’s why I’ve worked so hard in my career to make sure that — I promise you if I’m elected president, you’re going to see the single most important thing that changes America, we’re gonna cure cancer.”
