Doctors Reluctantly Admit What Bright Children Knew a Year Ago

Meant to publish this earlier in the week.

As a man with a spousal visa application pending, I am always interested in coronavirus news. Today there are some interesting stories.

First of all, I guessed wrong when I said Omicron should be pretty much over with by January 15. I based that guess on what happened in South Africa, but the US and other countries are taking longer to recover. It’s now looking more like the first week of February.

Okay, I still did very well for a layman who bases his predictions on a few skimmed news articles. About 10 days ago, “experts” were still making it sound like the world had ended.

It also looks like people all over the world are going into Florida mode. Even the timid, self-emasculated government slaves known as Australians are being allowed to socialize more normally. Some of them are, anyway. Kansas City has abandoned its unrealistic contact-tracing program. Israeli doctors are admitting we are not seeing a “pandemic of the unvaccinated,” saying the difference in the infection rate between vaccinated and unvaccinated people is miniscule. They’re also expressing surprise that vaccines didn’t end the pandemic. Some places are abandoning vaccine passports.

How surprised should we be?

The pandemic can’t go away through vaccination unless we have great vaccines or cures and nearly everyone uses them, forever. A couple of years ago, I thought our vaccines could work, but that was before I knew something everyone ought to know by now: dogs, cats, rodents, deer, hippopotamuses, and, presumably, all sorts of other animals are infected. People who don’t think clearly are asking whether they can transmit the disease to humans. If interspecies transmission isn’t possible, how did deer get it? Of course it’s possible.

If every person on Earth were magically cleared of the virus this minute, the pandemic would come back soon, because animals would give it to us. We can’t vaccinate all the deer. We’re not going to vaccinate all the dogs. It’s not just an epidemic; it’s a panzootic.

We were able to get rid of smallpox because we didn’t have to worry about vaccinating the entire mammal population of the world, and because the vaccine was good. Now we have a bunch of crummy vaccines and at least billions of carriers we can’t cure or prevent from spreading the disease. On top of that, there is no reliable cure.

A CDC page says this: “cats, dogs, bank voles, ferrets, fruit bats, hamsters, mink, pigs, rabbits, racoon [sic] dogs, tree shrews, and white-tailed deer can be infected with the virus.” Hamsters are being euthanized because they are susceptible, so that means rats and mice are carrying it, too. Have I seen proof? No, but come on.

In late 2020, CNN made the patently stupid remark that infection was rare in animals, as though it were meaningful. They should have known that if some animals had it, others were going to get it. Maybe animal infections were rare back then, because the pandemic was young, or maybe there hadn’t been enough testing to reveal the full extent of the problem, but here’s the remarkable fact CNN overlooked: contagious disease case numbers grow over time.

I am not at all reluctant to suggest that CNN’s people didn’t understand this, even though it’s the single most obvious fact about contagious diseases. It’s what “contagious” means. Journalists are incredibly dumb about science. They are just not bright. It’s terribly unfortunate that we rely on a body of unintelligent people to give us information about anything.

Scientists are defending their vaccines, pointing to other shots that have low efficacy rates. Flu shots, for example, often miss the mark. Supposedly, this means our covid vaccines are okay. Their defensive arguments are clearly wrong. The smallpox vaccine has a no-infect rate of 95%. The polio vaccine is 99% effective. Indisputably, there are such things as good vaccines. Covid vaccines have a no-infect rate not far from zero, which, by any reasonable scientific standard, is not high. The best you can reasonably hope for after being vaccinated and boosted is that when you get sick, you won’t have severe symptoms, and they can’t even guarantee that. They used to tell us severe cases were impossible for the once-vaccinated, and a couple of months down the road, they sang a totally different tune.

Right now, there are only two intelligent reasons to get vaccinated. 1. To shut people up so you can get on with your life, and 2. to provide a significant but not huge increase in your chances of avoiding severe symptoms such as death. With Omicron’s dramatically decreased severity, reason 2 is getting weaker by the second. Unless you’re a cast member on My 600-Pound Life, Omicron is not likely to do you in.

A 40% efficacy rate for a flu shot is not terrible, because the flu is only rarely a serious disease, it almost never amounts to a national or global crisis, and we get a new flu (or flus) every year, so if one year’s vaccines aren’t great, there is always next year. An ineffective coronavirus vaccine armory is much worse. Coronavirus isn’t going away at the end of every year, and unlike the flu, coronavirus has disrupted civilization.

Unless the virus decides to keep getting less dangerous until the end of the world, the only answer to our problem is a really good vaccine or cure. We will continue to be exposed to covid forever, so as long as new Delta-like variants remain possible, we need something that reliably prevents severe symptoms.

All the vaccines stink. Drink that in. They stink. It’s probably a good idea to take a non-mRNA shot if you’re fat, sick, or old, but don’t expect the moon. If you squeak by with a really bad week of fever, aches, and other problems, you are doing as well as you can reasonably hope to.

If you take an mRNA shot, you have to worry about the DNA damage credible researchers say mRNA shots do, so you could be replacing a minor problem with a major one. I might conceivably take a Johnson & Johnson, Astrazeneca, or Novavax booster, but I have no interest in something that prevents my cells from repairing mutations.

The medical establishment is amazing. They try to ram antioxidants down our throats because they prevent mutations. They tell us to stay out of the sun because UV rays cause mutations. They tell us smoking causes mutations. Then researchers say mRNA shots prevent cells from repairing mutations…and everyone is quiet. If the risk isn’t real, shouldn’t they at least have told us that? They haven’t.

But we should trust them, because science. Right? Wrong. The medical establishment is politicized. Along with the press and the government, it hides things from us. It’s no wonder there are so many insane conspiracy theories about coronavirus. How many times do officially-endorsed lies and omissions have to be revealed before people start turning to alternative sources?

In Europe and other parts of the world, anti-vaccination riots have been going on for months, and not even Fox News covers them. The people at Fox pretend to be MSM outsiders, but it’s a very thin facade. Fox made its employees submit to vaccinations and tests. If riots can take place in high-profile places in Europe and we have to go to Youtube to find out about it, it proves we can’t trust the establishment. Like we needed more evidence.

Since beginning to write this piece, I have learned that Fox has just “discovered” the foreign riots. Congratulations, Fox, and welcome to last year.

We have no way of knowing whether the mRNA shots are safe, because no one in a position of power will even confront the question.

How many times have establishment claims about these shots been proven badly wrong? Many. In view of that, how can we trust the establishment now?

The establishment is run by people who don’t believe in God and have a phobia of death and a love of authoritarianism and elitism. They are genuinely scared of covid. They can’t be trusted to tell us the truth. They couldn’t make themselves do it if they wanted to. Fear leads to rationalization. It causes people to convince themselves the truth is wrong.

The establishment makes up narratives and feeds them to us, we occasionally see through them, we look for other sources, and then we start believing nutcases who say they’re injecting us with cameras or sterilizing us or God knows what else.

Solomon said, “A good name is better than precious ointment,” and the establishment’s name is no longer good at all. It’s not even good enough for government work. Credibility is something that should only be sacrificed with great reluctance, because sooner or later, you will want to use it in a very critical situation. The establishment didn’t take this into consideration.

Our anti-coronavirus measures are not working, and, as everyone with common sense predicted, fatigue has set in. People are saying, “A few deaths are okay as long as I don’t have to wear a filthy mask and recycle my own stale breath for 10 hours a day.” They want to send their kids back to school. They want to socialize, which is essential to mental health. They are remembering something they had forgotten before the pandemic started: liberty is worth the sacrifice of a certain number of lives.

You can’t make relatively free people hide in their houses and wear ineffective masks forever. They got us to comply by assuring us it was all temporary, but since they started saying that, children have been born and learned to walk and talk. Increasingly, people are not buying it.

A normal social life is not a luxury; it’s a necessity. Anyone who thinks otherwise is an ignoramus. Isolation ruins our mental and physical health. It’s remarkable that we hear so little about this. The leftists who control education and government whine about things like how much room pigs and zoo animals have to move around, but they think human beings can hole up in their homes with no ill effects.

How could anyone have been stupid enough to think zero covid was possible? How do people like that get degrees in medicine and positions in government? We should have isolated fat, sick, and old people who were willing to be isolated, and we should have been much less demanding regarding the vast majority of us.

Now people are so tired of the nonsense, even if a good approach pops up, many of us won’t want to hear about it.

The most remarkable thing about our situation after two years of coronavirus is that there has been no revival. It used to be that people were smart enough to know epidemics were caused by sin and backsliding. Not any more. America has gotten much more vociferous and fanatical in its promotion of sexual perversion, idolatry, pride, and other things that bring calamity on us. God has no reason to relent and help us out.

Because we have dug in our heels, I think Omicron will be a pause, not a finale. Either a worse variant will follow it, or some other apocalyptic evil will hit us. I hope the break will last long enough for my wife and I to get together permanently. I would be shocked if the world’s descent into chaos actually stopped.

By the way, I had an interesting revelation the other day. For some time, I’ve believed coronavirus was partly a punishment for perversion. I saw the parallel between the modern world and Sodom. Now I feel I know more about that.

Homosexuals love to claim Sodom was not punished for perversion. They cite a Biblical passage that says Sodom’s sin was selfishness. Of course, the Bible does say Sodom was punished for perversion, but why would it also mention selfishness?

England used to be America. England was the world’s big superpower, and they spread the gospel. As England’s power and wealth increased, men became drunk with ambition and greed. They were taken away from their families by their ambitions. They forgot God, too.

When men aren’t around to raise their sons properly, sexual perversion flourishes. This is why homosexual antics are such big problems at boarding schools. British men were selfish and greedy, and now British males are effeminate. It’s pretty easy to tell a typical gay American from a straight one, but most educated Englishmen seem gay regardless of their orientation.

Think about it. Pick a British or near-British celebrity at random. Piers Morgan: effeminate. Hugh Grant: effeminate. Jeremy Clarkson: effeminate. James May, Richard Hammond, Peter O’Toole, Oliver Reed, Hugh Laurie, Rex Harrison, James Mason, Colin Firth, Christopher Lee, Claude Rains, Richard Burton, Laurence Olivier, Cary Grant, Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart, John Cleese, Eric Idle, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton…you could make a list a yard long. The exceptions are often men who came from the lower classes, where success was presumably less of a problem.

It looks like focusing on money and power neutralizes the effectiveness of fathers, and that’s how perversion creeps in. It makes sense, because homosexuality and other perversions are commonly associated with prosperity. It’s remarkable how many high-profile people have homosexual or otherwise unusual children. Will Smith, who may hold the world record for selfishness and ambition, has two. Stephanie Seymour produced two. Dick Cheney has one. Jackie Chan, Cher, Jamie Lee Curtis, Magic Johnson, Dwyane Wade, Sally Field, Annette Bening, Barba Streisand (no surprise), Marie Osmond, Charlize Theron, Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, R. Kelly…again, the list is long.

The British abandoned God for Mammon, they became effeminate, and then they lost the wealth and power for which they had traded God. It’s very interesting. It explains what’s happening to America. Men pattern themselves after their fathers, and when Dad isn’t around, Mom becomes the father.

I still see America continuing to sink. Christians are obsessed with money and “living their best lives,” so they are not helpful to people who are looking for answers. They don’t heal people. They don’t work miracles. They don’t prophesy. We complain a lot about how nonbelievers are ruining the world, but as a friend of mine says, fish rots from the head. We were supposed to lead and show our love, but we’re not doing it, and we are reaping the harvest.

I hope we get a real remedy for coronavirus, but it won’t fix the rot that brought us here.
