With the Delta variant of Covid-19 in the forefront of the news, my first thought was “Here we go again!”
It seems the news media has been trying to crank up the pandemic fear factor to “11”, pushing the idea that the Delta variant is far deadlier than the previous variants, is exploding through both the unvaccinated and vaccinated population, and the infected are dropping dead in the streets. They are pushing the fear for everything they can. What is the response of most of the American people?
Ho hum. We’ve been hearing that crap for over a year and a half and we’re tired of it.
Dr. Fauci has been pushing the idea that masks are the only way to stop the spread...again. Data collected over the past 18+ months says just the opposite. Masks of the type used by most of the US population – the disposable procedure masks and ‘stretchy’ cloth masks - have little if any affect. They don’t block the coronavirus because the virus is much smaller than the gaps in the filter material used. Only properly fitted N95 masks can trap the virus and they have been targeted towards health care professionals.
Another idea that is dying aborning is reimposing lockdowns seeing as the data shows the only thing lockdowns accomplished was widespread economic damage, profound psychological effects, and negative physical effects. The lockdowns had little effect on stemming the spread of Covid-19.
Yet we’re hearing some of the ‘people in charge’ talking about taking measures we already know don’t work. That tells me they really don’t care whether or not the ineffective precautions work. It’s more about power, about forcing the people to do things they don’t want to do, things they know don’t work. If they can force the American people to do these things, then what other things can the force down the people’s throats?
Power is a addicting drug. Once ‘they’ have it they won’t willingly give it up. Covid-19 is a perfect excuse to exercise that power to which they are now addicted. What makes it better for them is that the media is helping them push the narrative because it gives them power, too.
That’s what’s truly sick.
