The United States is in the throes of another covid-19 uptick, cementing a pattern of the virus surging around the holidays as doctors and public health officials brace for greater transmission after Americans return to school and work this week.

Coronavirus samples detected in wastewater, the best metric for estimating community viral activity, suggests infections could be as rampant as they were last winter. A smattering of health facilities around the country, including every one in Los Angeles County, are requiring masks again. JN.1, the new dominant variant, appears to be especially adept at infecting those who have been vaccinated or previously infected.

I don’t know much about the JN.1 thing.

But I think that JN.6 is a threat to “Our Democracy”.

This is the ONE!

Mask up, shelter at home, close your businesses and enjoy the winter.

Oh Noes, not the deadly JNJ variety. They can cook up a pretty mean virus in their lab or so I hear on the street.

From Yale Medicine (10/4/23):

“The vaccines target XBB.1.5, a subvariant of Omicron that dominated the United States—and the world—from November 2021 until earlier this year. The CDC said the updated vaccines should also work against currently circulating variants of the SARS-CoV-2 virus—many of which descended from, or are related to, the XBB strain. This includes EG.5, the dominant strain in the U.S., and BA.2.86, a new subvariant sparking concern because it has more than 30 mutations to its spike protein.”

Hmmmmmm...... No mention of the J-variant.

The Wuhan Cover-Up: Review of Bobby Kennedy’s Crucial Book
MERYL NASS JANUARY 1, 2024

The Wuhan Cover-Up gives you the facts, the history, and the understanding you need to grasp what is actually happening, right now.

If enough of us read it, we will gain the knowledge and strength in numbers to stop and defund the biowarfare industry, revoke these terrible laws, and lay down our deep, unconscious fears regarding contagion.

This is the third or fourth Covid “wave” or “surge” that the MSM have touted in the last four months, but if you look at the charts on the Worldometer tracking site, there have been NO “surges.” Cases are currently less than they were in mid-August, and there have been no significant spikes, just minor up-and-down variations. Cases are far lower than at this time last year.

Vaccines are made by hypervirilization. Ct Dietrich methods were to release the hypervirilized strain and harvest antibodies from the sick.
With molecular techniques you just get frankenvax. Scariest of them all.

One great thing about “forever covid” is that it helps me avoid annoying, leftist relatives and colleagues.

A simple claim from me, or them, that one is “covid positive” or there is such a person lurking nearby, means they don’t come to gatherings, dinners, or other events where they are not wanted, or, that I can avoid events I do not want to attend - AND I come out as a hero, too.

There really are silver linings to everything
