The hysterics are for no reason other than sales for Big Pharma. They're just a booster shot for the bottom line. Actual covid stats show the "problem" is 1/3 of what it was last year when it also wasn't a problem.

I wish this was only over money. There's money involved (Big Time) but power has the greater influence. This is a "back door" approach to (at least) limiting our freedom and (at worst) to "overrule" the Bill of Rights. You know how patriotic Americans hold the Bill of Rights up as divinely inspired? Leftists have the same furor, only their energies are directed toward stratigies to go AROUND the Constitution and Bill of Rights, as obama said, those documents LIMIT government, which liberals hold far above God.

Iiberals claim that THEY are appointed by god (government) to get RID of these limiting documents or as they claim to "improve" government by removal of the founding documents. They cannot figure out which sex uses which bathroom, but they are true experts in expanding government to control you from cradle to grave.

I'm REALLY tired of would be tyrants telling us how much better ife would be WITHOUT adherance to rigorous ethics (or they define "ethics" to include criminal framing of defendents, criminalization of grandparents (if they don't like what they say and/or where they say it) & taking away all important civil rights of a disfavored groups.

Well stated...this is a far greater context in the bigger picture for sure. 2020 was a table setting. Making massive $$$ is a no brainer and these psychopathic entities and individuals make sure of that, but its forest for the trees with what is already planned and in motion. Its why Trump is so feared in many opinioned minds. He stood in the way and still does...

They (and we know who “they “ are) are going through hoops to disarm citizens. Murphy in NJ is promoting lawsuits against gun retailers.

Expand full comment

Mental health issues, drug use issues, crime and the failure of government to enforce laws, and prosecute those who break laws are at the core of gun violence. The left could theoretically keep passing laws and the killing and shooting will continue unabated. Their goal is populace disarmament not law and order.

I totally agree. Too many have inflated the greed of Big Pharma as the major operative vice in the COVID morass. It is not. The pharmaceutical industry has yielded so many major therapeutic breakthroughs in cancer care, cystic fibrosis, and all sorts of auto-immune disorders. We need a more balanced view of this vital industry.

Big Pharma, yes. Some might say, it's Big Something Else's turn, with Big Pharma (Covid) and Big Military Industrial Complex (Ukraine) and Big Education (student loan giveaways) having long binges at the public trough.

But no, with Modern Monetary Theory, we can now reward all of our constituencies at once.

Besides, there's now an election to steal on the horizon as well.

Bigger than that, as this is worldwide.

That is certainly one element. Gotta help the Big Pharma cartel to keep campaign donations flowing. Overall I believe it is to precondition the gullible masses to active their China Virus fear & hysteria as well as a precursor to a false flag event or two that will precede the 2024 election to usher in rules for the election cheaters to exploit. Shit is going to be off the charts crazy over the next 15 months.

I would hazard a guess that they also want to gauge how many sheeple remain to be compliant at this point. How many people will now be freakoutable about a new virus in town...how many will eagerly jump back on the mask-vaccine train. Hard to know unless they do a test....

I think the powers that be have a good idea about what percentage of the people will go along with the new narrative. And how to put the pressure on those that won’t follow along. Can you say “access denied” on pretty much everything you have? Bank accounts, internet, phone, and work. It’s already been done. Anybody remember the Canadian truckers?

A great money laundering scheme. Gives billions to big pharma and get millions in donations for the party. And we the people should be thankful because it’s for our own good.

I think you all are right of course it is primarily about control, money, power, and the rigging of elections but I also believe that Joe Rogan, who I watched a short clip of his from a recent program, was on to something when he said that the lefties “miss” all the masking, lockdown, mandating tyranny of the first scamdemic…”weird”….actually insane! So you know that they have completed the trifecta of evil, ignorant, and insane.

Or from 0.2% to 0.4% like the panic porn coming out of Erie County, PA.

I think that is one of the lesser reasons. The control and destruction all the anticovid measure bring is the main goal. Transferring wealth is a part of that.

I wrote a comment to the Times story suggesting that they explain the VAERS data and the excess mortality data. Initially the comment was accepted but when I checked an hour ago it had been removed. I think the algorithm let me in but then the human eyes decided my comment did not follow Times protocols.

Expand full comment

Yes, the NYT, doesn’t just screen for dirty words, as they say, because the following comment I made about a story a few days ago never got past the moderator, human or machine:

“Shouldn’t the brief bio on Maggie Haberman at end of the story indicate that she received the Pulitzer Prize for false reporting of what turned out to be a nonexistent connection between the Trump campaign and Russia? You could also add that she missed the real news story of the planting with the FBI of this false information by the Hillary Clinton campaign.

“It seems the once proud NYT motto needs a revision: ‘All the News that Fits the Narrative!’”

Expand full comment

Maggie is on Twitter. I'm sure she's open to discussing why her reporting is so bad.

Expand full comment

She's either a democratic machine operative / government stooge (her work is well past the "Good German" behavior that enabled the Holocaust of some of my distant relatives in Germany) or she's just stupid, though I suppose she could be both.

Expand full comment

I just this week told a liberal friend about the NYT covering up the Holocaust. He was in disbelief. Yesterday, I sent him links to four articles, one from a liberal source, documenting it. This should be more widely known.

Expand full comment

The NYT has a long history of politically motivated reporting. You should read some of what they printed during the civil war. Bet it goes back even further.

Expand full comment

They're sneaky. I was commenter on the NYT site about 12 years ago and after a couple of my anti-narrative comments got too many 'likes' the moderators began delaying publication of my comment until there were already enough others the board so that fewer people would read it.

HAHAHAHAHA The Comic relief you have provided since early in the COVID drama has been (no pun intended) life-giving, Alex

Expand full comment

So, Alex, how do we keep the deep state scumbags from imposing masks and lockdowns on us again, in pursuit of these gloom-and-doom warnings? It's certainly important to be forewarned that such attempts are likely in the offing, but the more crucial question is "How do we keep these dirtbags from levying more hardship on our lives?"

Expand full comment

Literally just refuse. That's ALWAYS been the answer. If a place wants you to put on a mask, turn around and walk out.

Expand full comment

Or walk right in & force them to remove you.

Expand full comment

Erm... not so easy for kids in school. "No Mask or No School" is an awful choice.

Expand full comment

Yep, but "No School" is the better bad choice.

Expand full comment

Depends on the kids' age. I'm extremely lucky mine were older- I'd never have masked a 2 YO. But pre-teens & teens? No, school + mesh masks was undoubtedly less bad than yet more virtual school, or moving to another state.

Expand full comment

I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but that's exactly why we have masks coming back.

Expand full comment

I agree with what I presume is your intent:- by complying, we enable it all to continue. Compliance is like being complicit.

But there's a HUGE diff between adults & kids.

"Not complying" isn't a battle we should force kids to engage in. (If they *want to*, then sure!) But developmentally, rebelling against authority, esp if it means deviating from their peers, is a lot to expect of children. Most importantly SCHOOL ISN'T SOMETHING THEY SHOULD HAVE TO SACRIFICE. Funny, that is something I had to yell at the Covidians & now I'm here yelling the exact same statement at Team Realty/ anti-Covidians too??!? Rather frustrating.

Expand full comment

"If masks are required, then pull kids from school!" It just hit me why this message from Team Reality infuriates me so much-->

Covidians asked us to sacrifice kids to protect adults. Harm them (not educating a kid is literally child abuse) to make adults feel better. Use them as cannon fodder in the warn on viruses.

Now some on Team Reality are asking the same thing:

Sacrifice kids to protect the freedoms of adults.

Harm them to make adults feel better.

Use them as cannon fodder in the warn on Covidiansim.

NO!!!!!!!

It is as wrong for Team Reality to make such demands as it was for the Covidians.

Expand full comment

It's possible for ADULTS TO GO TO WAR without asking their kids to pick up arms too.

& that's exactly what I've done. Fought as much as I could, including refusing to mask, while trying to MAINTAIN NORMALCY for my kids. Complete normalcy was impossible, so in-person school + masks was the least bad choice.

thank you for saying!

That depends on the duration and child's age, plus other nuances as well.

Do not comply. Use reason to explain "why" to others. Point out contradictions, lies, and "mostly false" statements ("masks save children's lives") The Hard Core (30 percent?) are going to do what they've done before, but the majority tend to listen to reason. Find ways to avoid rewarding businesses who are pro-tyranny and create a parallel society where you can safely spend your money and time.

I'm shocked at Harvard and Hopkins and Rutgers doubling down so hard on students/madates, is it just toxic ego of not being able to admit they were wrong- and they failed? is it bribery or some kind of funding? Do they realize how dumb they look?

Academia is a determined predator with LOTS of money (much of which is coming from out of country- look at Penn State, Biden, purloined documents and the Chinese Communist Party- because they don't want you to)

Anything coming out of academia is the extreme far left and remember the "Taliban" (means "students") and the Cultural Revolution (many millions dead in China AFTER a starvation event) were started in Big Academia. Be advised that its the young who are vulnerable to extreme social "movements". BTW, in Nazi Germany the University adherants were among the MOST devoted Nazis
