“Australian COVID-19 cases update:
Reported Cases have continued to rise sharply at the national level and in most states & territories.
As always, it is hard to be certain with this series; the data quality is very shoddy & the raw data is spiky.”

“For me, Joe Biden's legacy will forever be his capitulation to corporate interests on COVID-19, and the dismantling of protections and precautions against it.
His admin did everything in its power to feign normalcy, which cost hundreds of thousands of lives (and counting)”

Covid fell to 10th leading cause of death in the U.S. last year, down from 4th
“Whereas American Indian and Alaska Native people had the highest rate of Covid deaths during the pandemic, white people had the highest rate last year: nearly 20 out of every 100,000 people. “

Institutional COVID denial has killed public health as we knew it. Prepare to lose several centuries of progress.

…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.”
COVID-19 & The 2024 Election
“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..”

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.”

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..
“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.
Damm …..
“These influencers have neglected their medical duties in favor of personal interests, and together with our healthcare authorities, they have and still are jeopardizing our right to a healthy future. Let it rip is NO strategy, a Vaccine only is NO strategy!”
If you were comfortable with catching it and spreading it, you were comfortable with killing people.
“If you were comfortable with catching it and spreading it, you were comfortable with killing people.
At no point in this ongoing pandemic did Covid stop killing people.”

Fear Itself
“Those who are the most well-informed about COVID, who know which variants are circulating, how to check wastewater levels, who encourage testing in their social circles and calmly continue to mask in public, have a more adult, emotionally mature relationship with the pandemic. They understand that denial is no remedy for fear, and delusion no refuge.”
