I think there is reason for optimism. This is the inoculation I was hoping the vax would be. It is infecting a ridiculous number of people in a short time with a mild illness. In my several state travels this week. Nobody cares about covid - except that it's making them short staffed. They are done.
You summed up exactly how I'm feeling. If I didn't have kids in the ages most greatly affected, I probably wouldn't be as depressed. But I do. And they are bearing the greatest burden in their entire garbage scenario.
Still, I have to maintain hope that my fellow Americans will wake up, before it's not too late.
"This is a post on how we might get out of this, and the first point is simple: However dark things look right now, we will get out of this. That is non-negotiable. You should never do their work for them by despairing of an end. It is supposed to seem hopeless. They manage the seeming of things, much more than the reality of them, and they work very hard to portray all resistance as futile. Probably more messaging resources go into casting the containment regime as invulnerable and undeterred, than anything else. This is important to them precisely because they’re not invulnerable."
Thank you for your insight during this "pandemic". Your columns and information have definitely helped me get through all this. I can't give up, but I'm very concerned that Covid restrictions might go by the wayside which is good of course, but I'm afraid vaccine mandates will stay in place for future control measures. Fauci should be in jail for all his transgressions in this debacle, but instead he is still in charge of our public health. When that changes, that will be a positive sign for the future. Unfortunately having the MSM with their "curated" messages and the govt cracking down on social media (no more free speech), it is getting harder to get new information and data to the general public. I have intelligent friends, but the vast majority follow the "wisdom" of Tony Fauci and the MSM. Since they are members of the "club", they don't want to know anything that might be negative about "their initiation fee". And they want it to be exclusive so of course they're all for the mandates. One person even said they're all for the chips. I also have friends (or maybe had) who don't want to be around my "unclean" self (despite my legitimate medical reasons to postpone vaccination) and if I do attend social functions, I should wear one of those "unsafe and ineffective" masks. New Orleans has been under a vax mandate for almost a year and now they're requiring vaccination for public education. Social unrest is at a peak, and we're having a major crime wave--a combination of excessive Covid restrictions, the defund the police movement, our consent decree which prevents the police from chasing perpetrators, a DA who doesn't believe in incarceration, and underlying social issues. I'm very sad for our city, but hey, Mardi Gras is happening anyway. Let the good times roll.
a big problem is that this covid industry, funded by tax dollars funding reimbursements, testing, all aspects of covid, is not going away. This entire industry needs to be dissolved, otherwise it is for certain going to keep rearing its ugly head.
A great article but what I'm missing is reference to the flat denial that there is any effective treatment for Covid. I believe this is the original sin of this pandemic and even now is the key to the Covid Doctine's hold on people.
If even one Western jurisdiction can fully escape from its spell and publicly implement effective treatment with repurposed drugs then I think there is hope for the rest of us.
I received this email last month from someone who has throughout this pandemic been a fairly precise bellwhether of where things are headed next:
"There is no reason to believe that the pandemic will end anytime soon, and no reason to think Omicron will be the worst variant. We can only hope.
We will be living with COVID-19, in some form, for as long as anyone can predict. It might cycle, it might be mostly low level, but it is not going away. Lots of questions about whether we will need more boosters, regular boosters, or a limited #. Nobody really knows.
Path forward:
I believe it is time to define our new normal, based on a COVID-19 world."
Personally, I'm not so sure. How long can places experiencing a pandemic stand side-by-side with places sometimes just a few miles away that are not? Hundreds of thousands of people moved from one to the other just over the past year, and that only seems to be accelerating. And I'm not just talking about blue states/red states, but just drive into and out of any major cities from/to its outer suburbs, and you see more or less the same dynamic. That doesn't seem sustainable.
I appreciate all the work you guys did to help people understand what the reality of this situation is and will be going forward. Sooner or later more people will figure it out and that's a good thing.

Oh Gummi...I didn't need this downer post today. You could be right, but here is a more optimistic take: https://eugyppius.substack.com/p/is-it-in-the-end-all-just-words

One nit to pick – the first of your characteristics of the Covid doctrine:
> the only consideration is that any human life is priceless
That should say “any human life *lost while infected with SARS CoV2* is priceless”.
Lives ended by our futile attempts to stop Covid are worth nothing under the Covid doctrine.

I feel like this is honest. I love optimism but prefer honesty. This is the most realistic outlook I have read.
"At some point maybe it collapses under the weight of its own absurdity." Nailed it
Nice job my friend.
