The Making of an Endemic Disease

Original Article

Posted By: earlybird, 10/7/2021 6:10:33 PM

When does a pandemic end? How does a pandemic end? These were the questions I was asking myself after Megyn Kelly hosted Dr. Monica Gandhi on her podcast last week. As it turns out, sooner or later we’ll have to admit that our COVID-19 pandemic is morphing into the endemic stage of the disease. A disease can be classified as endemic when it is “persisting in a population or region, generally having settled to a relatively constant rate of occurrence,” or, as Dr. Gandhi put it, you’ve reached endemic levels of a disease when “it’s gone down to a level where you live with it.”

Comments:

The original plan was to stop the spread, flatten the curve, in order to take the load off the country’s hospitals. It had goalposts.

Now vaccine and mask mandates are spreading. Proof of vaccination required or to be required by dates certain in area where Covid cases and hospitalizations have been dropping steadily for well over a month. Even the Rose Bowl Game will require proof of vaccination, although it is nearly three months away. Those teenage girls who wanted to try out for the Tournament of Roses Court had to provide proof of vaccination, never mind that vaccine safety for that age group (or any age group) has not been proven. The madness goes on - mostly in some persons’ heads...

PS. Even this young writer believes vaccinations are part of the solution. But medical experts far more experienced in epidemilogy believe they are doing more harm than good. When you have time, watch Dr. Peter McCullough’s talk to AAPS: https://rumble.com/vnbv86-winning-the-war-against-therapeutic-nihilism-and-trusted-treatments-vs-unte.html Dr. McCullough deals in data - facts - and believes the emphasis must be on early treatment. At home treatment.

Likely so. Developing right alongside a more important endemic disease: progressive fascism.

I think the murderers in charge want to keep pushing their faulty "vaccines" until (hopefully, in their minds) one of the mutations makes it resistant to Ivomectin , hydroxychloroquine, and the other cheap treatments and it really is a life or death disease without their murderous help.

There has to be a Pandemic in order for it to end. There has never been a Pandemic. There were 600 flu deaths in 2020, down from a normal 20,000 - 40,000. Think that was from mask wearing and social distancing? It was so effective at allowing them to accelerate controlling the masses and committing fraud, they are just seeing if Australia folds or not. Someone please explain how we vote our way out of this.

A Virginia-based parent group attempting to oust five Loudoun County School Board members was given a small win after a Loudoun County Circuit Court judge ruled Tuesday in favor of the organization’s recall petition against a board member who sought to dismiss it. On Tuesday, a judge denied Loudoun County school board member Beth Barts’ motion to dismiss the case and also removed Loudoun County Commonwealth’s Attorney Buta Biberaj from the case. The group Fight For Schools and others have alleged that Barts was involved in a private Facebook group that violated the School Board’s Code of Conduct and other laws after members allegedly tried to attempt to reveal private information about

As it turns out, all the scientists and doctors who insisted that Merck's "revolutionary" COVID drug molnupiravir is extremely safe weren't faithfully adhering to "the science" after all. Because according to a report published Thursday by Barron's, some scientists are worried that the drug - which purportedly cut hospitalizations in half during a study that was cut short - could cause cancer or birth defects. So much for having a "strong safety profile," as Dr. Scott Gottlieb claimed in an interview on the day Merck first publicized the research.(snip) the drug is widely expected to be one of "the most lucrative drugs ever"

Nearly 200,000 at-home COVID-19 tests in the United States have been recalled by Australian medical tech manufacturer Ellume after the company identified that they were producing incorrect positive results. Ellume was given an emergency authorization in December 2020 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to supply the COVID-19 Home Test for nonprescription use by symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals aged 2 years and older. The home tests deliver results within 15 minutes. The Biden administration signed a $231.8 million deal with the company,

Tucker Carlson hit the nail on the head in his opening monologue tonight. This is the first time the DOJ National Security Division (DOJ-NSD) has been spotlighted as the center of Main Justice’s political targeting operation. One small but important point Tucker got wrong was the timeline of the DOJ-NSD being weaponized for domestic political targeting operations. Tucker puts the shift as recent; however, the shift actually took place when Obama took office with Eric Holder as AG. (Snip) the DOJ-NSD refused to accept inspector general oversight {pdf here} as led by AG Eric Holder and DAG Sally Yates. More readers will remember the DOJ-NSD

Late yesterday Red State ran a piece on a topic that’s been getting some attention—again, since it goes back some years. But the problem is an ongoing problem: The CIA Blames Incompetence for Losing Dozens of Agents but Is That the Real Story? To give you a flavor for what this is about: Yesterday, the New York Times ran a story that was frightening in a couple of aspects. First, it reported that the C.I.A. had sent a top-secret cable to all stations warning them that “troubling” numbers of agents and informants were being rounded up by our opponents and either executed or flipped into double agents.
Amazon leaving Seattle 23 replies

Bloomberg reported, "Amazon CEO, citing ‘rougher’ patch with Seattle, looks to ’burbs." This is not white flight. Seattle has become coyote ugly crazy and Amazon CEO Andy Jassy wants to leave before he has to gnaw off his leg to get out of the trap. Shades of Boeing and the Seattle Supersonics. Bloomberg's story said, "The world’s largest online retailer is by far the biggest private employer in Seattle with more than 50,000 workers. That distinction has proved a headache in recent years, with some residents and government officials blaming the company for exacerbating homelessness and traffic." Seattle has turned Amazon into its whipping boy, blaming the company for problems the city creates.

Spending on tests to detect the novel coronavirus soared in Wuhan, China, several months before the first official reporting of COVID-19 cases, suggesting the virus was already circulating in communities during the northern summer in 2019 before it was made public by Beijing, according to research by Australian cybersecurity firm Internet 2.0. The firm tracked the sales of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests over several years, revealing an almost 50 percent increase between 2018 to 2019—the year before the COVID-19 outbreak spread across the world. Sales of PCR tests, used to detect specific viruses, totaled 19.1 million yuan (AU$4 million) in 2016, before rising to 29.1 million yuan

Divorce usually isn’t a good idea, and that’s especially true of a nearly 250-year-old continental nation. The notion of a national breakup has long simmered as a fringe argument, but it is increasingly popular in certain precincts of the political right and has gained at least some traction with partisans of both sides. A recent survey by the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia found that about 50 percent of Donald Trump voters and 40 percent of Joe Biden voters agreed to some extent with the proposition that the country should split up, with either red or blue states seceding.

New York City officials are phasing out the controversial “Gifted and Talented” program for elementary school students, a massive change aimed at addressing racial disparities in the biggest school system in the country. The entry exam identifying students as “gifted” will be eliminated, officials said Friday. Under the old status quo, about 2,500 incoming kindergarteners per year passed the optional exam, going on to spend their elementary school years in separate classrooms and schools.(Snip)The overhaul of the gifted program comes after years of debate and criticism—much of it focused on the fact that white and Asian students made up around 80% of gifted classes despite representing

It’s becoming abundantly clear that the events leading up to the insurrection are all part of a cohesive attempt by Donald Trump with assistance from his man at DOJ with outside lawyers like John Eastman, who crafted the memo, to overturn the results of the election.
