Excellent. Bang on the money with every well-articulated point. It's a testdemic - always was. Stop testing with a test that even the Covid-compliant CDC nows admits is "inappropriate" and the 'pandemic' melts into thin air. Except that the crazed architects of it all have been so taken in by their own propaganda that they can't let go - what the economists call the 'sunk-cost fallacy', what the military strategists call 'mission creep' and what psychologists call the 'escalation of commitment'. And all that we, Team Sanity, have got is truth and common sense and some killer blogs. Will it be enough?
I see no upside to testing. I was recently forced to take my first test- or not be able to see my disabled son for whom I have power attorney, while he in the hospital- when he needs healthcare advocacy support the most. I will have to take another today. Thanks California Department of Public Health for setting safety guidelines based on science! Every 3 days he is in the hospital is $10 out of my pocket. But if I just got the free vaxxes it would be easy peasy and I wouldn't be a risk to anyone? No testing for the vaccinated who are, according to worthless testing, infected with Omicron at a much higher rate than the unvaxxed. Hard to laugh when you feel like smashing stuff, I am way beyond crying. This madness must end.
As Trump noted, slow down with the tests. Back then many in the public were certain that those tv scoreboards showing tests and deaths were really forecasting deaths. If you tested positive you were sure to die. They created terrific fear. It was useful for clicks and helpful in removing that orange man bad. Indeed CoV is serious stuff for the vulnerable. Well who are they - the elderly, the obese and the diabetic. There are a few more at risk but for some reason we don't want to know why some are vulnerable while others are totally immune without any vaccine.
Now with Trump gone, the new guys are lamenting all the testing because they didn't bother to buy enough and discovered the people in fear are now mad at them instead of big orange man. Whoops. Luckily I have secured a home test just in case. 'Cause I'm vaccinated with an ineffective vaccine, I am prepared to try for monoclonals should I test positive with symptoms beyond a seasonal cold. Of course, as all Substack readers do, I have boosted my D, and use Q along with Zinc and K, etc. Not particularly afraid but still try to run a low profile avoiding crowds at the store. But I can afford that retired at 82.
Omicron seems to arrive bringing a lot of mild cases along with some problem ones. Despite the news telling us our hospitals were about to collapse and granny would be left in a corridor to die alone, it hasn't happened. Instead some hospitals had to close because their typically workload was removed by government. Then government not happy about that decides that staff who managed to survive the worst of Covid had to get a shot or get fired. Clever people, these government types who know what's best for all. If the hospitals now leave granny in the hall, it was because of their inane policies.
As Omicron burns it's way though the nation displacing the more dangerous Delta, people will wake up to a new world. Many, we hope, will consider the errors government has done and hopefully will hold them accountable. I'm not holding my breath.
