CDC finally admits COVID can be treated like the flu

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) quietly updated its federal COVID-19 guidelines to recommend treating the virus similarly to the flu, vindicating years of dissident opinion and undermining the original justification for drastically upending Americans’ lives in its name.

Declaring that COVID is “no longer the emergency that it once was, and its health impacts increasingly resemble those of other respiratory viral illnesses,” the new guidance says COVID’s threat is now “more similar to that of other common respiratory viruses,” justifying the agency’s decision to issue a general “Respiratory Virus Guidance, rather than additional virus-specific guidance.” It admits that “states and countries that have already shortened recommended isolation times have not seen increased hospitalizations or deaths related to COVID-19.”

The development represents a vindication of those who for years were maligned as purveyors of harmful misinformation.

Do you believe today’s virus variants are the same as those in 2019/2020? Are they more or less lethal? Are they more or less infectuous?

Actually, that quote is the subtitle to the original article.

Aye, b/c it’s not about the “virus,” it’s about the “cure.”

I believe they are just as bullsh*t as the original “COVID”.

Go get yourself another booster, and make sure you wrap your entire head tightly in plastic wrap - it’s the only way to protect yourself from “COVID”.

Declaring that COVID is “no longer the emergency that it once was, and its health impacts increasingly resemble those of other respiratory viral illnesses,”

It never was an emergency.

It was a propaganda opportunity used to institute the most elaborate voter fraud campaign in history and to make billions of dollars off of a deadly and useless new “vaccine” technology.

But at least they are not going to try to impose the vaccine for COVID on us again.

That does not mean that they will not try to impose some newly invented crisis on us for the election season.

Monkey Pox anyone?

I recognize that. Is today’s virus the same as the original virus? Can this change in treatment reflect the changes in the virus infectionuous and lethality? Viruses do change.

“the climbdown does not “apply to health care settings, including nursing homes,” and the CDC still recommends annual fall COVID vaccinations, with the elderly boosted more often.”
They’re still trying to kill off the elderly who have many adverse effects to m-rna due to reduced immune activity as a result of age.

How do you explain the difference in deaths now vs. then?

Hubby and I never caught Covid (that we are aware of). When our son, d-i-l, and gkids caught it, we treated them just like it was the flu, except with the addition of Ivermectin and Zinc. They were all well in just a few days.

Remember the cases of the flu that year dropped to almost zero as every sniffle was diagnosed as Covid. For many it was the government-insisted treatment (and lack of usual flu treatments) that killed them.

I knew it and I’m not in the medical field. How is that possible?

They spent all that time kicking people out of the military, destroying jobs, firing people, lockdowns, and absolutely idiotic and Orwellian behavior and now they’re like “oopsies, my bad.”

We all knew it - or should have known it. Every day they published the confirmed infection and death data. It didn’t take long to figure out it was non-fatal in over 99% of people; risky for the frail or co-morbid but otherwise just a nuisance for most people. But they had to maximize the political advantage; and the profits.

Now I wonder... they have been selling Zinc and Vitamin C supplements for the flu for years. Will adding a little ivermectin to that mix help mitigate flu duration and risk of death?

If you admit the variants, then you admit the vaccine was never a cure.
Originally it was stated that it would prevent one from becoming ill.
It was a blatant lie and you know it.

Vaccines are supposed to undergo long term testing, of at least 5 years, prior to full approval.
What’s the average timeline from beginning to fully approved vaccines in the history of the FDA?

Oh, say it ain't so (yet again), CDCers!

Your medical "experts" have clearly pulled the rug out from all those millions upon millions of frightened, gullible Americans who willingly -- in stark contrast to those who were forced -- exposed their good health and the developing immune systems of their young children and babies to not only the (henceforth the appropriately and accurately named) Fauci Flu bug, but also to the arguably ineffective and potentially lethal experimental Fauci Flu "vaccines".

I wonder if any of these breathtakingly ignorant (in every sense of the word) medical "experts" were fired? -- Fired for their incompetence or, much worse, fired for their duplicity? (Of course none were fired; it's a rhetorical question to make a point.)
Angry? You bet I am!

For most Americans, COVID was no big deal.

For people like me (no co-morbidities, ate and lived clean, in excellent health prior to it), COVID exploits something in our DNA and wreaks havoc.

It destroyed my lungs in 2020.

It shut down my digestive system in 2022.

It caused POTS in 2022.

It caused life-threatening “novel” seizures that escalated rapidly in 2023.

I was just exposed again in February. It caused the novel seizures to flair and shut down my digestive system again. I just got out of the hospital on Monday.

Never vaxxed.

Some people are not impacted. Some of us were destroyed.
