We at the TSAP have said it before, and we will say it again, shouting it from the rooftops. The ONLY way out of this madness is to go cold turkey from all of these restrictions and mandates. Period. And yesterday is not soon enough!
That means, effective immediately:
- No more lockdowns, hard or soft
- No more curfews
- No more business closures or capacity restrictions (unless voluntarily)
- No more closures of anything
- No more mask mandates, anywhere
- No bans or restrictions on gatherings or events, public or private
- No restrictions on places of worship
- No more travel restrictions, whether international or domestic
- All schools fully open, in-person, no antisocial distancing, masks optional
- All colleges fully open, in-person, no antisocial distancing, masks optional
- No more mass testing of anyone without symptoms. Otherwise, use rapid testing first to verify. For the PCR test (for confirmation), reduce the cycle threshold to 25-30, or simply jettison the PCR test entirely.
- No more quarantines of anyone without symptoms
- No vaccine mandates, coercion, discrimination, or Covid "passports" of any kind, anywhere, period
And as long as there is no major outbreak locally, hospitals and nursing homes should also return to normal as well 100%. It is LONG past time to stop cruelly denying visitors to patients, and stop artificially and arbitrarily delaying and cancelling so-called "elective" procedures and treatments. And with the proper early treatment and prophylaxis, hospitals will NOT be overwhelmed anymore than during a typical flu season. As for the staff, aggressive rapid testing should be done regularly regardless of vaccination status (as vaccinated people can still catch and spread the virus), and preference should be given to staff who are naturally immune because they have already had the virus and recovered (and are thus the very least likely to catch and spread the virus).
That's it. Yes, really.
Heresy, I know. But it has been nearly two years now, and for better or worse, the virus is here to stay. It cannot be eradicated at this point, as that train has left the station long ago. We really only have two choices now and forever: 1) learn to live with the virus, and be honest about it, or 2) learn to live with the virus, and pretend otherwise.
It has been observed that it is historically extremely rare for any respiratory viral pandemic to last longer than 18 months. And they seldom have more than two major waves, three tops. Yet here we are. So all of our trying in vain to outsmart the virus, and/or hide from it, only served to drag it out that much longer, more painfully, and with out-of-season waves as well. And plenty of widespread collateral damage on top of all that as well.
Fortunately, the relatively mild Omicron variant itself looks like it will effectively function as a live and spreadable natural "vaccine" that will finally achieve REAL herd immunity to all past, present, and (near) future variants, and accelerate the transition to endemicity. No thanks to the experimental mRNA and DNA/AAV gene therapies misnamed "vaccines", which are far too leaky and narrow to be fit for purpose, have a shoddy safety record at best, and most ironically of all seem to act like a magnet for Omicron.
This only ends when We the People finally stop complying with these mandates, cold turkey. Or at least when a critical mass of people do so.
So what are we waiting for?
UPDATE: Oh, and about those masks again, while they may not be quite as much in the spotlight right now as the "vaccines" are, the zealots are nonetheless quite busy doing damage control and are upping their game in a desperate attempt to salvage as many fragments of the rapidly collapsing narrative as possible, notably including masks. To that, we defer to the wisdom of Steve Kirsch and Allan Stevo. See also the factsheet by Just Facts, and this one by Josh Stevenson, and the recent podcast and article by Ian Miller of Unmasked as well. If, after thoroughly reading and listening to all of what they all have to say, you are still a "true believer" in masks, for anyone but especially for children, you really need to have your head examined! Most likely, your brain has been seriously starved of oxygen for far too long.
Or maybe the dreaded Foegen Effect finally got the better of you, and you just don't realize it yet.
