Gee, I Wonder Why Most People Are Shrugging Off Omicron?
Townhall.com ^ | December 2, 2021 | Kurt Schlichter

Posted on 12/02/2021 3:00:14 AM PST by Kaslin

The news of the emerging Omicron variant was greeted with a giant shrug by most of America, and it’s no surprise why. The total failure of our establishment to earn our trust over the last two years of this pandemic made it inevitable that a huge number of people, at best, don’t care, and at worst think it’s a calculated lie designed to prolong this nonsense. The COVIDians are positively turgid over the idea of more mandates, more lockdowns, more masks, and more viro-fascism. So when the CEO of Moderna states that the vaccine might not be as effective against this new mutation as to earlier ones, in direct contradiction to what President Asterisk assured us just a day before was “unlikely,” we just see it as more bullSchiff shoveled by the manure mob.

They’ve lied to us before, and often, and then they get all huffy when we point out their lies. You are not denying science by pointing out how wrong, and how often, Fauci has been. That malignant dwarf is so high on his on supply that he’s now offering his insights on politics to eager legacy media hacks. His takes are, no surprise, just as stupid as his takes on COVID.

It’s not a conspiracy theory or kookiness to assess that our so-called leaders have failed in every way in this crisis. Look at Biden – the guy who was going to wave his magic wand and make it all better has seen more people die under him than Trump. But the establishment never criticizes this guy; why would they, since he gives them whatever they want?

They lied to us. The experts told us masks are no good, then that they are, then that you need two, then none, then masks again. And they knew the first mask denial was a lie – at least they believed it was, making the fact that what they intended to be a noble lie to keep us rubes from using up all the mouth thongs was actually the only time they got anything right in this whole sorry saga.

What about natural immunity? They never discuss it, yet the science – I was informed that science is super important – says it gives you the best protection. How come it’s never part of the discussion? We never get a reason, just a demand that we take a drug those of us who beat the virus might not even need. And a booster too because, well, shut up and obey.

Look at the vaccine. It’s a nice drug. Like all drugs, it has some side effects, but it does seem to make it less serious if you do catch COVID. If they sold it as that, fine. But they sold it as preventing COVID, which we know it does not do, nor does it keep you from spreading it. Yet they never came out and said, “We were wrong when we told you that you would not catch it and get your life back if you took this drug. Here are the facts as we now know them.” No, they accused you of denying science, whatever that means, and hordes of bloodthirsty blue check sissies began toobining to their fantasies of murdering those who will not submit. There’s no humility, no transparency, just a desperate scramble to keep the emergency powers our society idiotically invested in these incompetents. So, this is their time to shine. No wonder it goes on and on.

Fauci loves this and never wants it to end. Ever. And if you disagree, point to one shred of evidence that this is not true. What has the evil elf ever done that lessens his own power or prominence? Nothing. Here’s Exhibit A for my assertion: Turn on CNN. He’ll be right there, demanding you submit to his tiny will. But don’t look for him on, say, Hugh Hewitt, who told him to his smug face that he lacked any credibility and should quit.

The fact is that we gave a bunch of lab-coated human beings power, but we forgot about human nature and allowed them the “But muh science!” trump card to escape accountability. Fauci recently, before opining on January 6th, essentially claimed that to oppose him is to oppose science. He’s not science. He’s an intensely fallible little man. This is the problem with so-called experts – well, one of the problems, another key one being that they mostly suck at what they purport to be experts at. When progressives insist that we give up our sovereignty to the rule of experts, the unspoken premise is that science is going to be their sole decision-making criterion. But that cannot be – they are human, or in the case of that ridiculous gnome Fauci, humanoid. Human beings are never neutral and never disinterested. Human nature always intrudes. Humans are selfish, egotistical, proud, arrogant, and often foolish. And those adjectives make up Fauci’s CV.

This is why we have – wait for it – a system of checks and balances instead of a dictatorship of the incompotentariat. Moreover, even if the premise of “pure expertise” was true, we do not want a scientist with narrow alleged expertise making societal-level decisions. Coming up with measures to keep us from catching COVID is not the only question. What do the proposed measures do to the economy, to the culture, to kids’ development? These are societal decisions, and as the 1/6 onanists keep reminding us, our democracy is very important. Yet, these people are the first to cut us normals out of having a say in our own governance. We elect politicians to synthesize information and consider the effects on all aspects of society, not just the narrow issue regarding the mechanics of a glorified cold.

So don’t look for normal people to panic like the clown governing New York did, cancelling elective surgeries. We are Chicken Littled out – the sky is always falling and the only thing to do is give up more of our freedom!

No. We’re done. If you want a vaccine, get it – hell, you probably already have. Get a booster if you want it. Or don’t. Go out. Live your life.

And GOP pols, stop playing along with this farce. It’s been two years – two years – and it will never end on its own because Dem politicians love the power, hack docs love the limelight, and people with empty lives love the excitement of the faux perma-crisis.

You need to stop it. Open everything. No lockdowns. No mandates. No panic. Let people live their lives. Channel Ron DeSantis.

And tell the pandemic pack to go boost themselves.

The problem with lying to people for over a year, continually, is that they stop believing you. With damn good cause.

A "mild" form of COVID that conveys immunity upon recovery sounds more like the answer to a prayer than a reason for lefttard panic.

This last gasp of COVID - Omicron, a virus that has successfully mutated to enhance chances of survival by not killing the host, isn't a cause to celebrate for the totalitarian leftards.

They are losing an old, reliable friend who brought ultimate power within their grasp. Now they are compelled to say "Goodbye, old friend" and give up that power.

And they cannot accept it.

Got your two Covid shots already? Well don’t worry because the third dose increases immunity, so after the fourth dose, you are protected.

Once 80% of the population has received the fifth dose, the restrictions can be relaxed as the sixth dose stops the virus from spreading.

I am calm and believe that the seventh dose will solve our problems and we have no reason to fear the eighth dose.

The clinical phase of the ninth dose confirms that the antibodies remain stable after the tenth dose. The eleventh dose guarantees that no new mutations will develop, so there is no longer any reason to criticize the idea of the twelfth dose.

Omigawd omigawd it’s omicron! Omigawd omigawd!

BFD. Omicron may turn out to be the cowpox to the COVID-19 Wuhan virus, that finally wipes out smallpox.

An attenuated virus variant, that provides immunity after being contracted, yet does not make more than a mild infection in and of itself.

Meanwhile thousands, if not millions, will be permanently damaged by the ill side effects of the mRNA particle injection, over and over again. “Everybody got to get the shot and all its boosters!”

Virtually every single medical doctor from South Africa who has been interviewed...discounts it as a big deal. Maybe the extreme exhaustion is a big deal....but all the other normal symptoms are just plain less. It just sounds like a week of bed-rest and you go back to work.

Kurt just couldn’t bring himself, as he’s scolding the powerful for their dishonesty, to mention the deadliness of the gene serums and their serious and many adverse affects and the fact that the timing of their administration is fomenting variances.

Dishonest in and of itself. Just another disappointment in journalism.

It's not often I disagree with Mr. Schlichter. But this is one of those cases. Zelenko is closer to the truth when he calls it the "poison death shot."

I want to know who came up with that name “Omicron” Omicron was the name of a popular video game 20 years ago. David Bowie composed the music for it and even appeared in the game and if you can believe it, he even gives a warning in the game that the government is trying to control us

“Wake up. People of Omicron and it’s corrupt government are lulling you to sleep in order to control you better.” - David Bowie’s character Boz in video game.

The clown in NYS didn’t allow health systems to cancel elective procedures because she panicked over the new variant.

She did it because there are too few staff to do them thanks to the vaxx mandate she fully supports.

Not to be overlooked is the fact that the fascists essentially outlawed all prophylactics and early treatment protocols, so they can euthanize as much of the population as they can convince their doctors to participate in.

Most of the doctors and politicians are very willing participants.

But they sold it as preventing COVID,

With all due respect, they oversold it. It WAS promoted as a panacea. And, in truth, Let's look at the actual FDA and Pfizer-BioNTech info.

Per the FDA's website,

On August 23, 2021, the FDA approved the first COVID-19 vaccine. The vaccine has been known as the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine, and will now be marketed as Comirnaty, for the prevention of COVID-19 disease in individuals 16 years of age and older.(emphasis added)

Per the Comernity Insert,

--------------------------- INDICATIONS AND USAGE----------------------------
COMIRNATY is a vaccine indicated for active immunization to prevent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in individuals 16 years of age and older. (1)(emphasis added>

Per the Summary Basis for Regulatory Action, under "Indication"

Active immunization to prevent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in individuals 16 years of age and older. (Emphasis added)

Clearly, the vaccine is for PREVENTION. Nothing else. All of the clinical trials (limited as they were) and statistical confidence intervals were focused on Vaccine Efficacay (VE) with regard to PREVENTION...not hospitalization, not ER visits, and not symptoms. Accordingly, THAT is the basis upon which VE should be based.

It very well COULD be that people who got the shot have lower rate of hospitalization and death. But that allegedly statistically significant differential is currently observed using non-clinical and non-regimented data collection techniques, specifically with regard to downside risks of these shots.

Do we have equally-accurate follow-up and recording of ER visits and nasty other side effects of people getting shots? Not really...in fact, every unvaxxed person who dies gets ghoul-porn front-page treatment (sort of like Iraq War fatalities or children who get shot) but if someone dies of a heart attack two days after getting shot number two, it's purely incidental and if you say otherwise you'll get doxxed.

This isn't science...it's political science.

The spikes, surges, variants, strains, photos out of China, and focus on the worst cases are losing their ability to create fear.

They're simply following the Greek alphabet. They skipped over chi because it sounds too much like the Chinese ruler's name.
