I just can’t see us doing shut downs again they’re going to say that they got everyone vaccinated that they could and we’re going to press on
 

 

Of course, unless it’s politically advantageous to shut down the country.  Watch for the warning signs—an uptick of reporting on the imminent death and despair about to befall us.

Yeah, I can’t see where it’s politically advantageous the Covid shut downs, really mess with the country in a variety of different ways

It's pretty simple, really--they leverage fear and distrust and present themselves as the one true solution to any given problem.  This is not a new concept.  It happened during the pandemic on a large scale, and it was very effective.

NBC News hysteria watch: "All signs point to a rise in COVID"

Do they? They certainly do in the media, very much including this NBC News report. It has all the ingredients to sell a new season of COVID restrictions, too. New and improved variants! Wastewater! Hospitalizations and deaths “ticking up”! Hide the women and the young’uns, and break out the reinforced cloth masks with your favorite political slogan again!

 

Or maybe not, because as this particular report demonstrates, the media is still selling the same old panic with the same old bad data:

 

{snip}

 

Hospitalizations, for example, are “a very good indicator of severity of Covid disease,” Guest said.

 

No, they most certainly are not. And in fact, this correlative measure hasn’t functioned as even a somewhat relevant proxy for severity since the Delta variant.

 

Why? Because the CDC still counts hospitalizations and deaths as COVID related even when it plays no causative role in the event. The data is still entirely correlative; hospitals tested for COVID on all admissions, and any positive result was reported to the CDC as a COVID hospitalization, and while they’re no longer testing every admission, the data they do produce is still correlative, which we’ll get to momentarily. The same is true for reported deaths. Most other Western nations did and still do the same thing (Norway is among the exceptions), which makes them consistently useless in terms of public policy.

 

Newer variants had much less risk for adverse outcomes, so much so that they are now akin to the flu or perhaps slightly less risky — which we would know if the CDC collected causative data rather than continue to work with correlative data.

 

This is so obvious, in fact, that Anthony Fauci himself had to admit it when an artificial spike in pediatric hospitalization reports initially led people to think that Omicron targeted children. It didn’t; the spread was so quick and widespread that it showed up everywhere, almost entirely asymptomatically. 

 

Shortly afterward, the CDC admitted to the issue and promised to fix it. That was in February 2022, and yet to this day the CDC continues to use correlative data that tells us nothing at all — but yet provides conveniently high numbers for current policymakers. Why is that? The question answers itself: the CDC benefits from COVID hysteria, both in terms of funding demands and in relation to the power it exercises over Americans in emergency situations.

My God by spring the WH might be interested in death count, virus and transmissions!   All signs are pointing that way!

No one will stand for it.  And you can also forget about vaccine mandates.
