Time For Another American Revolution - at the Ballot Boxes !
Imagine trying to create an epidemiological tracking system for the common cold and being told that this disease (with so poor a case definition) is like the Bubonic Plague when, in fact, it is anything but a death sentence.
The data from such an effort will quickly become unmanageable and will resemble the epidemiological chaos that we now observe with COVID.
Further, regarding the common cold, we cannot effectively or accurately track cases, especially because there is no reliable case definition.
True, with COVID (or the common cold, for that matter), we can do appropriate antibody and/or antigen testing - but the data will not allow us to determine whether "cases" are suffering or dying from COVID versus with COVID.
In other words, the clinical and epidemiological picture is often blurred beyond recognition.
So - we are left with an exercise in what appears to be political science - not medical science (I belabor the obvious).
We cannot eradicate this (COVID) and related Corona viruses any more than we can effectively eradicate the common cold - and we should not even try.
Accommodation (without monumental societal disruption) IS the solution.
It is correctly reminiscent of the issues related to "climate change," in which humankind (some idiots among us, anyway) think that we can reset the earth's thermostat, instead of trying to learn to accommodate what appears to be a global warming trend that may or may not be anthropogenic.
With respect to the handling of the pandemic, I think that the damage that has occurred to previously venerated and respected institutions like the CDC and NIH is irreparable.
The purveyors of the Public Health ROT (Reign of Terror) are in a perpetual state of orgasmic pleasure while enslaving the population to scientifically meritless mandates, all while engaging in nothing but hand waving and tap dancing.
This disease does not merit the insane constitutionally incursive measures that are being inflicted on the American population, especially in the midst of the hypocritical non-response to the thousands of infected illegal migrants coming from the southern border.
True - people should become vaccinated.
True - those who have potentially compromised medical conditions should remain hyper-alert, get vaccinated, get a booster if it becomes available and remain calm, while carrying on their lives as usual.
True - we must be on the alert for variants (no different from similar efforts to track variants of H1N1 influenza).
True - we must consider the need for booster shots administered to the vaccinated and possibly the previously infected.
True - we must squash the narrative that children in K-12 should or need to be masked - PERIOD !!!!
True - something much, much, bigger than this pandemic is driving the madness that we are witnessing.
True - this is time for another American Revolution - at the ballot boxes - let's ask for early voting - how about tomorrow?
