Anyone wants to risk a bet on the eventual number of sick people? Dead people?

A strange thing happened during the DC Diary’s festive break. The Covid arguments once written off as fringe and dangerous not only went mainstream but were made by some of the high priests and priestesses of the public health establishment.

Dr. Anthony Fauci Zoomed onto the cable news shows to point out that case numbers aren’t necessarily the right metric to track and clarified that many of the children registered as Covid hospitalizations are hospitalized with Covid, not because of it. He said that the Omicron variant may end up being “more of a bothersome upper-respiratory infection” for the vaccinated or previously infected. Dr. Leana Wen, a former Baltimore public health official and CNN regular, has said that cloth masks don’t work. Former FDA commissioner and Pfizer board member Scott Gottlieb agreed on the Sunday shows. These are the sort of statements that, not too long ago, would get you booted off of social media or, at least, have your posts flagged as misinformation.

When it comes to the national policy response, the CDC dropped its recommended isolation to five days. Joe Biden, whose core 2020 campaign claim was that a more competent president would bring the pandemic to an end, declared that “there is no federal solution” to the pandemic. The administration that promised to defeat Covid decisively now says that America must learn to live with the virus. Everywhere there are one-time Covid hawks reminding Americans of the need to keep calm and carry on.

What is going on? Is the medical establishment taking a leaf out of George Constanza’s book, deploying an “opposite” strategy in hope of better results?

COVID19 does damage the brain. But not primarily by binding to neurons. Instead it creates irrational anxiety among a certain class of social media user who continually escalates what is necessary to “keep us safe.” It has now reached an apogee with rising cases.

Fortunately, karma has a way of taking care of vaxxers:

That is Stewart Reynolds not Carlos Tejada in the video. Lew Rockwell should be more careful in his research.

Thank you @richwicks

How do you know? Do you just recognize him?

He's not a NY Times editor then, right?

@Patrick

I saw the video previously before Carlos Tejada had his heart attack on air, so I knew it couldn't be him. In some post (somewhere) a person mentioned in the comments that it was some "nobody Canadian comedian". From that, I had enough info to find out who he was:

https://search.brave.com/videos?q=canadian+comedian+psa+covid+vaccination&source=patrick.net

He's in the 2nd result, but if you get different results:

And THAT'S how I identified him.

This shit is spreading like fire. Freinds coast to coast are all getting it this week.
3028   Patrick   2022 Jan 7, 1:25am  

That's good news, imho.

A. It proves the vaxx does nothing to stop the spread. Indeed, it's disproportionatey the vaxxed who are getting sick now.
B. Omicron is harmless.
C. Omicron should give people pretty good immunity.

Yup. Hopefully it will flair out after this variant wave and just be considered a cold or mild flu. Everyone I know that has had it has been fine and it's a lot of people. Mild cold like symptoms. If it wasn't for a test, they'd go to work. So that minor of symptoms.

I'd estimate 50% or so vaccinated based on THEM bringing up their vax status. None of my business to ask, plus the vaccine is useless right now against the virus so what difference does is make. Maybe reduction of symptom time?

I can search, but has anyone done an at home antibody test or have a recommendation? I want to see if I've had it. Traveling and looking to have a mountain of evidence so I can say fuck you to any hassle I get. Legit bringing a binder to Jamaica if I test negative next week. First international travel for the family and of course it comes during a massive spike in cases. Mexico was a breeze last year for the wife and I. 3 kids in tote this time, 1 not being ours, baby daddy in prison, and I'm questioning if the effort will be worth it.

And no negatives about Jamaica. Every person I talk to about Mexico says it's horrible. I love it when I've been. I've stopped listening to others even though I've asked here. It's a 2nd and 3rd world country in parts that gets hit by hurricanes, so it always will look rough. I'm not going to the shit hole parts. Also Jamaica's crime rate is better than Chicago where I worked in some of the war zones for over a decade. 2-10X's plus as many people died in Chicago from homicide than died in any year of the Afghanistan war.

So back to Covid. Homicide will kill more people in Chicago over my lifetime, by a long shot, then covid will. It's clear the powers that be give zero shits.

And drug OD's will kill far more than crime will.

But the PTB don't care about those either.

They care. Just depends. Send in the National Guard to the South and West side of Chicago and shooting and deaths would plummet 90%. Problem is they're people of color and that's racist to stop themselves from urban genocide. Which is what it is.

Then factor in that most white people run and get their heroin and other drugs from the West side. Boom. A 2-fer. Get opioids out of the hands of the suburban whites. Could literally lock down a few areas and eliminate a lot of death, more so than covid. And not lock down in camps or houses even. Just bring in a massive police presence.

WTF is National Guard doing half the time anyway? Put 'em to use. We're paying for it. There's an actual war zone 60 miles from me as we speak. 9 dead already this year and it's been freezing.

Seems pretty obvious to me the vaxx is causing the spread.
Those who are vaxxed also have higher viral loads so easily pass it onto the unvaxxed who have average immune systems. I can't believe the supermarket shelves aren't stripped bare of Vitamin D, C and zinc.
And of course it's the flu and cold season so many will misdiagnose for that.
Yet people still believe in the narrative!
How much worse would we be without the vaxx! Without wearing face masks for 2 years!
Thank Science there is a test to tell me whether or not I'm sick and on my death bed!
It's all the unvaxxed's fault!
They all nod along in agreement like the wise sage's on The View! - a future textbook case for 'Mass formation Psychosis!'

Victorians are being urged not to buy more meat and vegetables than they need, as the rise of COVID-19 cases across the state forces food processors to reduce staff numbers.

There are warnings some food supply will be impacted in the coming weeks, as industries adapt to tough new restrictions to curb the spread of coronavirus, but experts say the pain will be short-lived.

The Australian Meat Industry Council warns reduced staff at abattoirs will lead to less meat being available for customers
The Victorian Premier says there may be gaps on shelves but there is no need to stock up on supplies

...

A small supermarket in regional Victoria has hired security guards to check identification at the door to prevent shoppers from Melbourne from clearing out the shelves.

Plenty of bounce bunnies around. I hear them's good eatin'.

For some reason, the only symptom I have is, for some strange reason savory food items smell like a chemical synthesized cumin smell in the way way back of my sinuses. It's almost like my sinuses got chemical burned. I can't smell subtle hints of flavorings in the food. But I can smell burnt, burning, or toasted things just fine. I can taste OK, though not as well as before.
I thought when you lost your sense of smell stuff smelled like nothing. I made some tuna salad last night, and I smelled a jar of pickle relish that was way back in the fridge, I wanted to make sure was still good. That was the first time I noticed it, I thought it was way off, so I pitched it. But now I'm noticing other food stuffs have that same weird smell.
