“My identity as a healthy person had always been there—rooted in avoiding illness and protecting long-term well-being. But as the pandemic dragged on, that identity expanded, engulfing a broader view of what true health meant: seeing the bigger picture, understanding cumulative risk, and recognizing that preserving function over time is the real win.”

They require masks in Phase 1, because they have new recruits gathered together.”

…No country can expect sustained 3% growth, if 3% of its workforce drops out every year.

There is no path forward - for the US or any other country - without addressing this. Repeated covid infections are not a sustainable situation.”

Ignoring Public Health May Have Cost Democrats the Election
Ignoring Public Health May Have Cost Democrats the Election
“President Biden owed his 2020 win in part due to his promise that he would do better than his predecessor in handling the pandemic; that unlike Trump, he would “follow the science.” And at first, he did. But once it became clear that new variants would arise and vaccines would not prevent all Covid cases—though they did limit hospitalizations and deaths—the Biden administration went way off course. Rather than following the science and ramping up rapid-test production, covering testing and new vaccines, and upholding commonsense safety measures like masking in health care, his Covid czar, a corporate executive, chose to pretend Covid was a thing of the past.”

“Instead of prioritizing public health, the Biden-Harris Admin elected to construct an artificial ‘post-pandemic’ finish line for them to cross and throw themselves a party. It failed to result in meaningful electoral success during the midterm elections. Another holiday season came around, with more children developing serious “post-pandemic” health issues…The Biden Administration, and the larger Democrat Party, had formed a new consensus with the anti-vaccine movement: That you stupid proles all need to shut the hell up and simply embrace unlimited COVID-19 infections, especially on the job, and especially the burden of bringing the disease home to your family, infecting your loved ones. If you wind up disabled by it, well, you no longer exist to us anymore - so drop dead. You are no longer entitled to your own health or entitled to protect your children's health. Your employer is now entitled to your health, and may throw it away at the drop of a hat, fully protected by the legal system..”

“I am concerned that the sense of urgency about COVID-19 appears to have faded. The disease has not been discussed during the election season, even though it is an ongoing and developing public health threat. I believe this is a dangerous mindset. The reality is that COVID-19 remains a unique and deadly threat for many people — it is not just another respiratory virus, and should not be treated as such by our leaders.”

Factcheck: Herd immunity is not the solution to COVID-19 pandemic
Factcheck: Herd immunity is not the solution to COVID-19 pandemic
“While herd immunity has successfully protected populations from other infectious diseases, such as measles and smallpox, all efforts to stop the SARS-CoV-2 virus — the virus behind COVID-19 — from spreading have fallen short. According to Giurgea, immune responses against this virus, whether achieved through vaccination or a previous infection, subside with time. Additionally, the ability of the virus to mutate allows it to evade these immune responses and continue to spread in the population.”

“Both the Biden administration and its critics, faced with an impending wave of disease with the potential for mass death and disability, chose to spend their time focused on critiquing or defending the tone of the messaging. The comical absurdity of the situation belies the horrific public health failure. It was a mass mortality event without precedent in the history of the United States. Given that the level of concern of the public was likely to impact their degree of adoption of risk mitigation measures, this misplaced focus on urging calm, rather than masking and vaccination, was a deadly mistake. A more honest discussion about the risks could have saved lives. All the back-and-forth about whether fear was or was not being mongered distracted from the task at hand, which should have been (checks notes) protecting the public from Omicron BA.1.”

“In U.S., ‘The number of annual traffic fatalities in Washington state has jumped from 528 in 2019 to 810 in 2023, a 51% increase since 2019.. 2023 [was] the deadliest since 1990.. Speculation as to why traffic fatalities increased varied.’

IMO, the main reason is the cognitive dysfunction caused by SARS-CoV-2.
