Was it Ever Really About the Virus?
American Thinker.com ^ | June 3, 2020 | Brian C. Joondeph

For the past four months, Americans have endured a constant barrage of news and fear porn about the Wuhan coronavirus. The country has been locked down as tightly as Anthony Weiner’s infamous laptop computer, now finally starting to slowly reopen.

We have heard about ventilators and ICU beds, social distancing and masks, death counts and vaccines, all to the point of over-saturation. Fox News ran a nearly constant death count side bar and CNN blamed the virus, the resulting economic shutdown, and every other bit of trouble in the world on their least favorite president ever.

Only those in a coma or living in a Siberian cave weren’t aware of the Chinese virus and the havoc it brought to not only America but also to the rest of the world. Digital media provided confirmation. But suddenly it all stopped.

Coronavirus has been the most searched term on Google in 2020. At the time of this writing, on the last day of May, three-quarters of the top trending Google searches relate to the country-wide riots over the death of George Floyd. Virtually no searches of the Chinese coronavirus.

Twitter provides another barometer. Of the top trending Twitter topics on the same day noted above, a third were tied to the riots, but nothing regarding the Wuhan flu.

How could such a black swan event disappear from the news so quickly? This is another example of Rush Limbaugh’s “drive-by media”, quickly driving past a story that is no longer of use or relevance to the DNC media apparatus.

Was the past four months of media hysteria and panic really about the virus? Or was it instead a means to a desired end?

It’s all about damaging President Trump in a Presidential Election year. And if anyone thinks the fake flu, and rioting and looting is it for the year, they’re deluding themselves. There’s always an October surprise.

We aren’t even giving press briefings or questions about it anymore.

At the grocery stores now it is business as usual - there is no hand gel - there are some people wearing masks mini or not and no one is hounding people for not wearing masks

Some of us have been telling it was all political. Some listen, some don’t. Oh well...

The whole thing was a hoax which is still ongoing.

Just reading Fauci's take on a vaccine. Seems it might only last for maybe 3-6 months...doubts it could last a whole year.

Like I've said...this "flu" isn't like polio or measles or smallpox......which basically afford lifetime protection.

From what Fauci says...one might conclude it's just like every other flu...comes and goes.

The Russia hoax didn’t work. The Ukraine subterfuge didn’t work. The Impeachment farce didn’t work. The CCP Virus panic didn’t work. The Killer hornets fizzled.

The Commie organized Riots are their next attempt to oust our President.

...every other bit of trouble in the world on their least favorite president ever.

If Obama said exactly the same things that President Trump said, and did exactly the same things President Trump did, the news media would be praising him to the sky. Everyone knows it's true, even if they won't say so out loud.

“Just reading Fauci’s take on a vaccine. Seems it might only last for maybe 3-6 months...doubts it could last a whole year.”

For over 2 decades Fauci has been overseeing the federal government effort to create a vaccine for AIDS. After spending tens of billions of dollars on this project what has he produced. Nothing!

The flu vaccine in a typical years is only 40% effective. There is no vaccine for the common cold, which is a coronavirus.

Fauci has known all along the odds are very low scientists will ever create a truly effective virus, much less develop one on a very short timeline. Yet he, Bill Gates, and the media have perpetuated the vaccine story in order to keep the country locked down.

So much for “science” in the 21st century.
