While we officially crossed the grim 1 million threshold for cumulative Covid deaths in the USA since the beginning of the pandemic just the other day (based on official CDC numbers of course, which count all deaths "with Covid" and not necessarily "from Covid"), we also reached another significant milestone at the same time that the mainstream media did not seem to acknowledge. According to the CDC's own data, there have not been any excess all-cause deaths at all since the week of March 12, 2022, despite "cases" rising significantly since then (especially in the Northeast) for the past two months thanks to both seasonality and the BA.2 subvariants. Of course, it can take several weeks for excess deaths to be fully counted, but this is the longest stretch of time since March 2020 that we have gone without excess deaths. In fact, deaths are currently running below normal, as the proverbial ferryman already got more than his fair share of money by now.
So what does this all mean? It means that the virus is currently endemic, and that the pandemic is essentially over now. It is basically the new seasonal flu and the new common cold rolled into one. In fact, just before the different-enough Omicron variant hit, actual influenza made a comeback already before being temporarily suppressed by Omicron's viral interference. And with no new major variants detectable on the horizon (only subvariants and sub-subvariants), it is unlikely that the resulting endemic equilibrium will be disrupted enough to create another major death and hospitalization wave anytime soon. Even if there is a "casedemic" wave from time to time, herd immunity will prevail overall.
It is thus no wonder that even some top FDA officials are now finally saying that Americans should treat Covid like the flu. What we at Team Reality have already been saying for a while now, in other words.
Bottom line: Covid is endemic, Zero Covid is a pipe dream, and lockdowns, masks, and NPIs are useless or worse than useless. The vast, vast majority of Americans, including children, have already had the virus at least once by now. We know how to treat it effectively, and the largely failed "vaccines" have been around and available more than long enough to know that they weren't exactly worth waiting for. It is long past time to adopt the "flu strategy" and move on.
UPDATE: We are still learning more and more about how lockdowns, masks, and NPIs have done far more harm than good, especially for children, and also that "immunity debt" is in fact a real thing after all. All for naught. Hindsight is indeed, well, 2020. Future generations will all surely look back with absolute horror and disbelief at the conduct of our "leaders" and their sheeple followers over the past two years!
We at Team Reality hate to say we told you so, but....
(Fortunately, the unusual spike in non-Covid excess deaths (read: mostly jab deaths plus numerous collateral deaths from lockdowns, closures, and NPIs) in the second half of 2021 and into very early 2022 now seems to have also since receded by now as well, though alas the damage is already done.)
Meanwhile, in Australia....
And for any natural immunity deniers still out there, particularly as regards to Omicron, this rebuttal is just for you. Seriously, just take the L and move on.
Yes indeed, 50 years from now people will look back on this like we now look upon the abuse cases done 50 years or more prior - the Syphilize experiment at Tuskegee, the MK-uLTRA mind control done to unwitting victims, what they did to poor orphans in experiments- they either killed them with experiments or they all died when doctors forbid nurses to handle babies except to feed & diaper them. There are thousands of cases of abuses done by the Patriarchs in charge - women as well as men, & of course, I 've spoken a lot about how they created & spread AIDS in Africa, then in America. But no one seems to believe me, no one pays attention or responds to this - why? They killed MILLIONS of Africans with AIDS, then started it in America with the 'Manhattan project' & killed all the gays - 1200 of them - who applied for this new 'experimental' vaccine. So this plandemic is now over but Satan never sleeps, so now they will get back to regular terrorism, here & there, like Buffalo & whatever. The demons never go away - the only time they will diminish is when women take over. Thanks for this Ajax the Great.
ReplyDeleteSo true indeed, Rasa. Thank you, and you're very welcome :)
DeleteAnd many people will say, 'Oh, what a fool I was - I believed them!'
ReplyDeleteMany will indeed. One of the most regrettable episodes of history.
