So the cycle will continue; they will lock us down through winter, maybe ease restrictions a bit next summer (or not, given the midterms).
Our pre-pandemic freedoms and liberties are never going to be fully restored, if the Dems and elites get their way.
This is not a winning long term stratagy.
If they gave a damn about long-term strategy we wouldn't be in this mess.
They care about power and control and that's pretty much it.
Lockdown fanatic Piers Morgan is now calling for unvaccinated people to be completely banned from receiving medical treatment in the UK, even if they are dying.
“Those who refuse to be vaccinated, with no medical reason not to, should be refused NHS care if they then catch covid,” Morgan hysterically tweeted. “I’m hearing of anti-vaxxers using up ICU beds in London at vast expense to the taxpayer. Let them pay for their own stupidity & selfishness.”
He then blasted those who haven’t taken the shot, calling them “incredibly stupid and deeply depressing,” asking, “What the f*ck is wrong with you????”
Summit.news reports: Essentially, Morgan is arguing that people who refuse to allow themselves to be injected with vaccines linked with innumerable side-effects to ward off a virus for which they have a 99.8 per cent survival rate should be left to die in order to save money.
If enacted, his ‘solution’ would also end up killing people who are admitted to hospital for ailments that have nothing to do with COVID, given that positive tests in hospitals are counted as COVID admissions even if the person is asymptomatic and is being treated for a non-COVID illness.
As we have repeatedly stressed, a two-tier society is now being created where discrimination targeting the unvaccinated is becoming not only normalized but encouraged.
Morgan is about one step removed from openly calling for the unvaccinated to be rounded up and incarcerated in medical prison camps.
An added irony to his faux-populist authoritarianism is that Morgan himself has been caught repeatedly flouting the same COVID-19 rules that he aggressively demands be imposed on everyone else.
All the more reason we need to redouble our efforts and stay the course. Because if we don't, who will?People just accept this shit. It's painful. I tell family and friends and they just don't care. They don't understand the freedom they are loosing, don't see the slippery slope and are very quick to accept the new status quo and surrender.
Well, it's heartening to know that the people around you have more compassion and common sense. Here's hoping that it'll rub off on you a little. I mean, do you really think you're so much smarter than all of them?People just accept this shit. It's painful. I tell family and friends and they just don't care. They don't understand the freedom they are loosing, don't see the slippery slope and are very quick to accept the new status quo and surrender.
Or, maybe large numbers of people you care for and respect to some degree disagreeing with you could suggest a degree of introspection on your part might be a good thing.All the more reason we need to redouble our efforts and stay the course. Because if we don't, who will?
Uh, why do you think it "seems to do jack shit"? That doesn't line up with the data coming from any country, and I'm sure given your job you'd realise how unlikely it is that every country regardless of geopolitical issues would agree to somehow force their medical establishment to force the data to fit a standardised lie for the sake of American corporations.Why should I be left to die because I decided to not get a vaccine that seems to do jack shit?
As I mentioned with...I think West Virginia who tried it on a small, lottery scale, if the goal was to target the people specifically hesitant to get vaccinated now that it's no longer the 'Trump vaccine', there'd be firearm giveaways to go with the vaccination.Biden calls on states to offer $100 vaccine incentives

I agree it's not good, but what's the better alternative? Assuming you accept the numbers (At least roughly.) then covid has hit more than 1/10 of the American population, and killed >600,000 compared to something like 30,000 for the flu in the last relevant year best as I can find. That's a vastly worse effect even with lockdowns and all the other measures. If precautionary measures aren't taken that's liable to turn the "flu season" into an annual economy crippler. So... What's the better option?What Biden’s Vaccination Plan Gets Wrong | National Review
Joe Biden announced his administration’s new efforts to increase coronavirus vaccinations — and got some things wrong while winging it.www.nationalreview.com
Spoiler alert: A lot.
I get the desire to want to protect people, I really do. But at the same time, several more months of lockdowns and shit is not something I want to endure again. Same with much of America.
Gee, it's almost like they can't know perfectly ahead of time what results their actions will have but are trying their best given the information and modelling they have. Why is it so unreasonable and implausible that their recommendations would evolve as the situation and their understanding of it does?As I mentioned with...I think West Virginia who tried it on a small, lottery scale, if the goal was to target the people specifically hesitant to get vaccinated now that it's no longer the 'Trump vaccine', there'd be firearm giveaways to go with the vaccination.
Pfizer get an AR, J&J nets an AK, Moderna get a Mossberg.
More seriously, bribes would at least be more honest than the supposed 'get vaccinated to go unmasked' stuff that was getting used as the selling point but now been piroutted away from because of breakthrough infections.
Of course, the CDC or government in general and 'honesty' in regards to Wuhan Flu has not exactly been positively correlated at any point in the last year except by accident.
Because those recommendations have oft contradicted the understanding of things or the facts of the situation in service of a 'target' or goal they have in mind. As seen with the expansion of vaccines to teenagers, the required masking of teenagers in school, or the percentage-of-population goal of the CDC for vaccine deployment to reach a level of immunity that walked upwards as the number was approached--in contradiction of the science indicating danger to young individuals was near-negligible and their own statements as to what herd immunity consisted of.Why is it so unreasonable and implausible that their recommendations would evolve as the situation and their understanding of it does?
