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.
Not anymore the feckless Leso Brandon has mandated all stocks of Regeneron confiscated....and the USPS to seize and destroy any packages of Ivermectin.
Have a nice day.
A person gets a sketchy PCR test, is cleared, and then gets on the COVID Car of a mass transit train before showing up at their place of work with an "all clear". They then spread COVID-1984 around freely.
Another individual gets the Jim Jones Jab which the manufacturing korporations and the government admit doesn't prevent them from spread COVID-1984 but their company doesn't require them to get tested. They go into work and spread COVID-1984 around freely. I know several "vaccinated" individuals who have done exactly that.
I’ve never been tested. Never had the death shot either.
As I have said many times, stop testing, and “COVID” ceases to exist - because it never existed to begin with - it is entirely a fabrication of bogus testing, and attributing deaths from other (common, well-known) casues, to “COVID”.
In a letter this week, Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo charged Biden’s appointees are “actively preventing the effective distribution of monoclonal antibody treatments.”
In September alone, he said, the state provided “life-saving treatment to nearly 100,000 patients.”
But then, he charged, “Without any advanced notice, the U.S. Department of Heath and Human Services announced a dramatic reduction in the number of monoclonal antibodies to be allocated to the state of Florida.”
He said the governor moved to acquire other supplies, but, “the lack of allocation of this life-saving treatment from the federal government continues to cause another immediate and life-threatening shortage of treatment options to the state of Florida as the omicron variant spreads.”
“The federal agencies under your control should not limit our state’s access to any available treatments for COVID-19. … This shortsightedness is especially evident given that the federal government effectively prohibited states from purchasing these monoclonal antibodies and serving their populations directly,” he wrote.
Fox News explained Biden “recently paused shipments of COVID-19 antibody treatments manufactured by major drug companies Regeneron and Eli Lilly amid claims that such treatments are not effective against the omicron variant of the coronavirus.”
Ladapo had referenced Biden’s decision to back the federal government out of the problem, when Biden said, this week, “There is no federal solution. This gets solved at the state level.”
Arkansas Republican Gov. Asa Hutchinson had warned Biden against letting “federal solutions stand in the way of state solutions.”
This “planedemic” has been one huge mess from the start and the FDA, Fauci, the Media and others have no credibility left.
More and more people are ignoring their agenda driven crap and going on with their lives as best they can.
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. Said the felt “ambushed” and I’m a bad human.
Omicron is burning out in S.Africa, so it will be here.
Poeple I once respected are in total freakout mode right now, obsessed with being “TESTED”. Why can’t they just live their lives, without Fauci, without fear?
Sheep gotta sheep.
Haven’t been tested for the COVID.
If you test positive or even think that you have Covid 19, Delta or Convirus:
Fully Vaccinated:
Fully Vaccinated people should immediately go to a hospital, we care about you!
CDC: Wear a seat belt even when you are not in a car on the way to the hospital!

Unvaccinated:
Don’t go to a hospital! We don’t care about you evil bastards, and we won’t treat you. Stay in your home and die!
Yeah, we've been banned from a number of activities and organizations due to our unvaxxed status. Hubby caught omicron from our vaxxed son (hospital ER worker). We've both had earlier versions of COVID and treated them at home. Although we're retired folks and not spring chickens, we were never at risk of death. We have at times had an urge to strangle members of our panicked community.
At this point, we just take care of ourselves and wait for some of the sheep to gradually come to their senses. We won't say 'I told you so'; we'll just gratefully embrace them and welcome them back to the living and thinking family of mankind.
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.”

I stopped reading when I encountered your first lie, about 10% down the page.
I decided not to make any test results official and bought my own test kits. They are exclusively at-home. You get results in a couple of minutes.
ABSOLUTELY!
No tests and no shots. All of this has the stench of a totalitarian government. USA has become the new USSR. They were so big on public health campaigns.
