re: Biden says life may not return to normal this year!

Why do we need vaccines every year if we’re still masking, distancing, and destroying the world as we’ve known it?

Because over the last year we've shown them they can do whatever the frick they want and not a damn thing will happen. They're absolutely drunk on power and will never give it up until its taken from them by force. This is where we are. This is what it's come to. This is the fruit of our indifference.

Its just baffling to me that the Biden administration won't take ownership of the declining covid numbers on the heels of the perfectly timed vaccine distribution that they had nothing to do with. Were on the downslope now, all they had to do was walk through the door and say "were here now and look, it's all getting better".


Instead they're hedging and saying "ahh man Trump was just so bad that this could drag on for a while. He just dug us such a deep hole and then left us with nothing that its gonna take a year or more to get us out of this." Its absurd messaging. The only thing I can figure is that they won't a defeated, miserable and obedient populace.

Cases are dropping like a rock, we are vaccinating at a rate in excess of 1.5 mil/day, the Pfizer vaccine has been shown to be effective after a single dose, and current estimates for unconfirmed positive cases range from 70-90%. We are rapidly approaching herd immunity.

A piece from Thursday's WSJ from Hopkins Public Health suggests herd immunity by April.

Amid the dire Covid warnings, one crucial fact has been largely ignored: Cases are down 77% over the past six weeks. If a medication slashed cases by 77%, we’d call it a miracle pill. Why is the number of cases plummeting much faster than experts predicted?

In large part because natural immunity from prior infection is far more common than can be measured by testing. Testing has been capturing only from 10% to 25% of infections, depending on when during the pandemic someone got the virus. Applying a time-weighted case capture average of 1 in 6.5 to the cumulative 28 million confirmed cases would mean about 55% of Americans have natural immunity.

Now add people getting vaccinated. As of this week, 15% of Americans have received the vaccine, and the figure is rising fast. Former Food and Drug Commissioner Scott Gottlieb estimates 250 million doses will have been delivered to some 150 million people by the end of March.

Money shot for "public health experts" attempting to play policy wonk.

Some medical experts privately agreed with my prediction that there may be very little Covid-19 by April but suggested that I not to talk publicly about herd immunity because people might become complacent and fail to take precautions or might decline the vaccine. But scientists shouldn’t try to manipulate the public by hiding the truth. As we encourage everyone to get a vaccine, we also need to reopen schools and society to limit the damage of closures and prolonged isolation. Contingency planning for an open economy by April can deliver hope to those in despair and to those who have made large personal sacrifices.

A lot of people voted Biden for the sole reason that they actually believed things would be back to normal very quickly.

They believed that Trump was doing nothing at all and all we needed was a regime change to actually take it seriously and it would be fixed in 2 to 3 weeks.

Slow Jow is on the "no-plan" plan.

They need crisis through at least the midterm elections.

They will need something new for 2024.

True, but it's probably also that they don't wanna make a whole buncha people mad by causing them to have to go back to normal work routine. Lol

Especially those certain teachers. Not all teachers, of course, just those certain ones.

Never let a crisis go to waste.

They are betting on the fact that what they can accomplish politically by letting this drag on is greater than the political benefit they would get by declaring victory.

"Two weeks to flatten the curve"= 2 years

"Plan to crush the virus in the first 100 days"= 1 year

They're saying the same shite all over the world. This is their plan. This is the great reset

I agree. This delay is to do more damage so that a “reset” is more palatable. Sick bastards.
