Don't you just love the way every vaccinated person who catches covid always mentions how grateful they are that they are vaccinated. Such a reduculously stupid statement.
Did I catch that correctly that phyzer stands to make 22 billion off of Paxlovid this year?? It shouldn't be that surprising at all to see the discouragement of people using cheaper alternative treatments.

It's like they cannot turn of their virtue signal or they are trying to psych themselves into thinking that the vaccines were effective.

So the Biden admin said they'd give 60 days notice if they weren't going to extend the public health emergency that is supposed to end 7/15. That means another 90 day extension to 10/15 at the least. And one of their lackeys let loose that they're predicting 100M cases in the US this fall/winter. Sounds like we're in for another winter of death and gloom for the unvaccinated hordes.

They seriously said this? We've only had 83 million since the beginning of the pandemic.

EDIT - yep they did.


COVID Surges Could Infect 100 Million Americans Later This Year.

This is either 1) extreme fear mongering to push for funding (The predictions also assume that there won’t be additional federal aid), 2) idiocy, 3) evidence that vaccines just don't offer that much protection from contracting the disease.

This say it all

Public health officials said the White House’s prediction could be possible due to waning immunity from vaccines and previous infections, looser safety protocols, and more variants that seem to be able to escape immunity.

“What they’re saying seems reasonable — it’s on the pessimistic side of what we projected in the COVID-19 scenario modeling run,” Justin Lessler, an epidemiologist at the University of North Carolina, told The Washington Post.

“It’s always hard to predict the future when it comes to COVID, but I think we’re at a point now where it’s even harder than normal,” Lessler said. “Because there’s so much sensitivity, in terms of these long-term trends, to things we don’t understand exactly about the virus and about [human] behavior.”

Vaccines not great for newer variants (yet we're supposed to keep getting them), WH prediction is high, we can't really predict because of uncertainty about the virus AND human behavior (funny how that didn't stop extreme interventions advocated by SCIENCE™ on the basis they did understand these things)

Bingo. So, March 2020, everyone was expected to fall lockstep into whatever whimsical "science" Fauci and the CDC professed. Now, after two years of worldwide data and endless research, it's hard to predict anything because we don't understand the virus and human behavior.

Whitmer Pledged To Cut Her Pay for Duration of Pandemic. She Gave Up After Five Months.

Michigan Democrat ended her salary sacrifice even as her pandemic restrictions dragged on

In early 2020, Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer (D.) pledged to give back a portion of her salary for the duration of the coronavirus pandemic. But she stopped after 5 months—even as her gathering and mask restrictions dragged on for more than a year.

Whitmer in April 2020 said she would "lead by example" and return 10 percent of her $159,300 salary to the state's treasury department during the pandemic. According to state records obtained by MIRS News, however, Whitmer ended the pledge just five months later in September after cutting three checks totaling $4,917 back to the state. The Democrat's pandemic restrictions lasted significantly longer than her self-imposed pay cut pledge—Whitmer limited indoor gatherings and required face masks in public for 15 months.

The revelation marks Whitmer's latest in a long line of COVID blunders.

During the pandemic's early stages, the Democrat issued draconian stay-at-home orders that shuttered local businesses but allowed large corporations to stay open. Whitmer also implemented a policy that required nursing homes to accept positive coronavirus patients who were discharged from hospitals, a decision that Republicans argue led to increased deaths in elderly facilities. Meanwhile, as the pandemic raged on, Whitmer broke her own COVID rules during a dinner party at a Michigan State University bar and fled the state to party maskless at a crowded Washington, D.C., cocktail joint.

She has the facial structure of a caveman, is it really a shock that she has the intelligence and skills of one?

Is covid still a thing? I haven't seen anyone where I live in East TN wear a mask or think one thing about it in at least a year.

Apparently no one has told my admins. For some reason last week they started threatening people for not wearing goggles in every room with pts. Makes no sense, not one documented transmission via the eyes…anywhere.
