U.S. set to extend COVID "health emergency"
Suddenly and unexpectedly.
Alternative headline: “Let’s pandemic harder”
#1.
No one thought this would happen, absolutely no one could predict this—but out of nowhere, like thunder out of completely blue sky, came the news that we are still in the middle of a dangerous pandemic. Pandemic! Pandemic! We are still in the middle of a dangerous pandemic.
And to cope, we have an obligation to continue impairing our immune systems harder—so that we get sicker, and our masters then can prolong the emergency even longer (not that they need any rational reason to do that).
And since we don’t want to endanger our democratic values, as good citizens of a free country, we are absolutely free to double down on impairing our immune systems—which we can accomplish by masking, worrying ourselves senseless, obsessing with all pathogens that we have no control over, staying away from the outdoors and healthy people—and of course by taking more doses of the safe and effective injection, despite the fact that overtime, and also immediately, it makes one more susceptible to illness. Remember, the goal is to be responsible and let our rulers prolong the pandemic until all is stolen, the economy is in ruins, and we are ready to beg them to build back better and switch us to programmable money!
Therefore, our call for action for now is as follows: let’s pandemic harder!
(Now for a second, let’s think about this like a cynical Russian. What are the main functions of a politician? Stealing and oppressing. All other functions of a politician are cosmetic. So why would any self-respecting politician let go of a good pandemic? Really, no reason.)
#2. Fearmongering continues
Yesterday, a COVID missionary tried to proselytize onto me on Twitter and sent me several interactive religious brochures. The brochures were impressive!
The most impressive brochure revealed the animators’ personal discovery of nature. Well into their adulthood, they discovered microbes in the air. They realized that the air we breathe is not sterile, and their world was shattered. Run, they said, our air is full of microbes! And then they went about the usual missionary story of nature being the devil, and the mask being the salvation.
Yes, I am being facetious and dramatic—but that’s out of frustration. It’s 2022 for crying out loud, and … we are still there. I wish their psychological microscope and their animation talents were directed toward something more useful! (Like, Monsanto, DARPA, and Pfizer?)
And now on a completely serious note: COVID or not COVID, the air (and water, and soil, and food, and our bodies) are full of microbes. Always have been. And while it makes sense to practice basic hygiene, it really doesn’t help to obsess over what microbes are out there as we go about our everyday existence because it accomplishes nothing besides driving us crazy.
#3. Speaking of injections
When in a house of cards, everything is very much an approximation—and given the ephemeral definition of what it means to “have COVID” (a positive test that looks for a little synthetic sequence that could be floating in the air, amplified ad nauseum by a PCR test?)—for the sake of proper science, I mourn all studies, including the ones that support my peasant findings. What does it mean to have COVID?!!!
“Spike protein toxicity” seems like a more scientific medical condition—and that condition can develop as a result of environmental exposure (Pfizer’s own words, not mine) or direct injection, with the latter obviously being a targeted load of poison.
However (and in this case, they did culture, which makes it better.):
A new study published in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) has demonstrated that people who are triple-vaccinated (boosted) against COVID recover significantly more slowly from COVID infection and remain contagious for longer than people who are not vaccinated at all.
The study did not deal with the severity of illness with or without a vaccine.
Researchers swabbed infected people and cultured the swabs, repeating the process for over two weeks until viral replication was not observed.
At five days post-infection, less than 25 percent of unvaccinated people were still contagious, whereas around 70 percent of boosted people were still carrying viable virus particles. For those partially vaccinated, around 50 percent were still contagious at this point.
Even more strikingly, at ten days post-infection, one-third of boosted people (31 percent) were found to still be carrying live, culturable virus. By contrast, just six percent of unvaccinated people were still contagious at day 10.
In other words, people who have received a booster shot are five times more likely still to be contagious at ten days post-infection than are unvaccinated people.

#4. How to turn the language upside down
By accident, I stumbled upon the following treasure, an HHS pontification on civil rights and COVID. For a second, my ears perked up, and I held my breath in anticipation of redemption.
But no, by “civil rights” they mean access to the magical product. And more magical product. And more magical product…
#5. Duck and cover
Courtesy of Mickey Z. (whom I recently had the joy of talking to when he interviewed me), here is what the politicians recommend we obsess with when we tire of obsessing with pathogens.

(Thank you for your support, I depend on it)
Oh, I'm surprised. (Eye roll and major sarcasm). This ends when enough people stop complying. Where I live it might take awhile.
So this new omicron is the worst they've ever seen? So that must be why they want everyone to take boosters containing the code to make the same old spike protein that no longer exists in circulation? For making MORE of the same old antibodies that didn't stop the original infection but promoted, aided and abetted the evolution of the mutation that is now being called "the worst we've ever seen"? Good to know.
