COVID means fear, control, and lockdowns because we’ve allowed people to make it mean fear, control, and lockdowns.
D.C. Health is giving out “Home COVID-19 Testing Kits” at libraries across the capital city.
At the majority of these sites, you’ll be handed two plastic, red, white, and blue envelopes per person. “Muriel Bowser, Mayor,” they read at the bottom. “Testyourselfdc.com.”
“Isn’t that wonderful!” you might be thinking, as you tear open the seal. “I want to be sure these winter sniffles aren’t COVID before I see my mother, or visit grandpa, or go away with some friends.”
Inside the envelopes, you’ll find a one-ended Q-tip (a “Nasal Self Swab”), wrapped in plastic; an official-looking LabCorp test tube, wrapped in plastic; and instructions to report your name, race, age, and sex to the city government, stick the Q-tip up your nose, deposit it in the test tube, put the “specimen bag” in the return envelope and drop it off at “one of the District’s specimen collection boxes by 8 p.m. the same day.”
Staring at this kit Wednesday morning, sniffling, I thought, “Why would I do that?”
Seriously, why the hell would I do that? Do I live in Florida, where if seriously ill, I’ll be given access to monoclonal antibody treatments while family, friends, and neighbors go about their lives? Do I live in Georgia or Texas, where I’d receive the same? Or Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, or Louisiana?
Or do I live in a city where the numbers will be rushed to the press, schools will be shuttered, mask mandates will be extended, new restrictions on the eternally wicked “unvaccinated” will be rolled out, and if I have a bad case I’ll have to drive hours to find a pharmacy willing to fill a doctor’s prescription?
Have local health care “experts” done anything to gain my trust? Or have they done everything they possibly can to betray it?
The COVID Construct..
By and large, Omicron is the sniffles. A cold; maybe some aches, and the sniffles. If you live on the East Coast, you might already know more than a dozen people with Omicron and aside from an occasional fever, every one of them is fine. “But don’t forget,” the headlines blare – “a man died in Texas last week.”
Don’t you dare believe your lying eyes.
“Just because the per-individual risk of severe illness may be lower,” CNN’s resident doctor politician warns, “that doesn’t mean on a societal level Omicron doesn’t pose a real risk.”
“Omicron’s cold-like symptoms mean UK guidance ‘needs urgent update,'” The Guardian newspaper screams.
“You’re looking,” the president of the United States threatened, “at a winter of severe illness and death for yourselves, your families, and the hospitals you may soon overwhelm.”
It’s like we’re not experiencing this bug ourselves; like we’re incapable of observing it in our friends and families, and seeing what it does. It’s like we trust the “experts” more than we trust ourselves; damn our eyes.
But if we dare take a step back and process the very thing we’re told we’re living through, we might recognize – more than ever – the increasingly obvious truth that COVID is a construct: a word we’ve been trained to fear more than the disease itself.
COVID means fear, control, and lockdowns because we’ve allowed people to make it mean fear, control, and lockdowns.
To read a Tuesday headline at NBC, for example, is to learn that “Child Covid hospitalizations are up, especially in 5 states.”
To read eight paragraphs down, however, is to learn doctors are, “really not seeing an increase in children who are hospitalized for Covid or in the intensive care unit for Covid.”
Further, to read the D.C. Public Schools website is to learn they expect to once again close schools to in-person learning.
To read the Centers for Disease Control website is to learn that those with symptomless cases – or simply declining symptoms and no fever within 24 hours – need quarantine only five days.
To turn once more to the D.C. Public Schools, is to learn they no longer respect the science: “Students,” a Wednesday email reads, “who test positive must isolate for a minimum of ten (10) days from the onset of symptoms or their positive test result if asymptomatic.”
And just what, again, separates this new variant from any other winter illness? Beyond fear, control, and lockdowns? Beyond Anthony Fauci’s floating head blathering on about this emergency measure or that emergency measure on TV news all day? Nothing.
The emergency is over, but neither our corporate media, our politicians, nor the bureaucrats will admit it. They feed on our cooperation to power their theater – our willingness to show the card, take the test, report the results.
Stop cooperating. More, stop collaborating.
Since I ain’t self-testing, they can try to test me.
There will be blood.
“I’ve never been tested. Never had the death shot either.”
Same here.
I know a lot of people like that too, obsessed with being tested every time they leave a unexpected fart and all vaxxed up. I sure as hell don’t respect any of them anymore and certainly wouldn’t trust any of them to “have my back”. Never vaxxed, never tested, never will be. F##k Joe Biden.
All these high numbers are telling me is that the vaccines did NOT provide immunity and you will now have "true" immunity with a so called "breakthrough".
Same thing for the unvaccinated. They now have "true" immunity.
I’ve never been tested, nor have I ever gotten one of their jabs. Seems to me, getting tested repeatedly for something I don’t have, to see if I still don’t have it, is just madness.
I stopped collaborating at noon on Christmas day when I found out my in-laws were demanding we all test upon their arrival at my doorstep. They chose to stay home instead.

I suppose you could have had a discussion about test accuracy/reliability/efficacy since even the CDC stated in July that the test results are garbage...
https://www.cdc.gov/csels/dls/locs/2021/07-21-2021-lab-alert-Changes_CDC_RT-PCR_SARS-CoV-2_Testing_1.html
On the other hand, that might set off an even bigger ‘fight with the in-laws’, you bad human....
Here in Washington State you can get your “free” tests by going to sayyescovidtest.org. Apparently, you’ll get 8 tests in the mail…unless they run out….which they have. I can’t get over the number of people who fall for this “free” stuff! Nothing is free in this world, not vaxxes, not tests, not lunches, none of it. It’s making my head explode. More tests= more “cases”, NOT more hospitalizations or deaths. Fear porn is the real virus.
I’ve never been tested. Never had the death shot either.

Same here. Got something in November, about 5-6 days total, but the only symptoms that lasted beyond 2 days were fatigue/brain fog. NO test .... did not want to appear on anybody’s radar ie any gov’t entities, health dept., etc. Took care of myself with early treatment at day 1.5 & all was well. Been prophylacting with Dr. Z’s protocol for 6-8 months at least & I think that was also part of a nonevent, assuming what I had was WuFlu. Yes, I could get a blood test to see if I really did have it, but I’m so distrustful of everybody even loosely associated with the medical system/gov’t, that I’m not doing it at this point.
I know this may be too much logic for some people, but if you’re using a known unreliable test (CDC admits PCR test isn’t accurate), and you’re testing more frequently whether you need it or not, then don’t you expect more Covid positives? So the whole discussion of Covid is based on lies and deceit. Not to mention the government withholding safe and effective preventative protocols.
Stop the testing. The Chinese already have enough of our DNA samples.
I said this almost two years ago and watched the sheep among us submit to mask and shots. Take yer Covid cocktail and go on about your life the way God intended.
“D.C. Health is giving out “Home COVID-19 Testing Kits” at libraries across the capital city.”
I wonder when they started doing that, and how much it might have contributed to the recent meteoric rise in reported new daily case numbers in DC (quadrupled in ten days, to all-time highs)?
“Why can’t they just live their lives, without Fauci, without fear?“
- Because they’re religious fanatics; they WORSHIP daily at the altar of CNN, MSNBC or FOX dutifully.
Even folks who call themselves “Christian”, but will not turn off their tv addiction - buy into this fear propaganda campaign.
It’s funny.. my contract employers as well as my wife’s father are among these… they ridicule us for practicing Christianity as best we can, but both my wife and I will wake up to find texts from them asking: “have you gotten your shot yet?? You’d better hurry and get your shot!”….
We know that CNN ran another scare story that morning. It’s like clockwork.
I agree. Just stay home and get over it. Treat with zinc, vitamin D & C. I also do quercetin. Only seek treatment if you are having trouble breathing. Constant testing + crappy tests = managed fear.
BOOM.
Anyone repeatedly testing for something they don’t have, to see if they still don’t have it, is the definition of madness.
Yep, stop testing and stop feeding the beast.!
It’s like they think testing is a treatment! I challenge them to find medical person that will lift a finger to help them if they test positive, so what are they gonna do with that information? Pollen count is super high in central Florida right now and nitwits with sniffles are clogging emergency rooms just to get tested. SMH
That’s exactly way the ahole in DC is wanting to give out ’free tests’ - to keep numbers up!! Let’s Go Brandon already, I’ve had more than enough
