Today, our esteemed lord Fauci told us that it’s too soon to tell if we will be able to gather in groups for Christmas.
My first thought was, “People are still not gathering in groups?!”
Who is this guy? And who is listening to him?
This time last year, they were talking about herd immunity – as it was defined in 2020 which has of course changed since then to suit the current agenda – stating that between recovered infections and vaccinations that by the end of 2021 we should be able to go back to normal in terms of celebrating the holidays together.
Well, it’s hard to reach herd immunity when you want people to shelter in place to avoid being exposed, and the vaccines that were supposed to save us are turning out to be far worse than ineffective.
I’ll be having a free Christmas, doing whatever I want and seeing whomever I want, and I assure you not for a moment will I give two seconds of thought to what that fraud Fauci thinks about it.
Also, let’s lay a little reality out there for anyone who has been swayed by the “news” that the COVID pandemic has killed more Americans than the Spanish Flu pandemic in 1918-1919. Yes, it has killed more people. But the US population is also over THREE times larger than it was in 1918. The Spanish Flu killed 675,000. We recently passed this for COVID. But in 1918, the US population was 103 million. Today, it is 330 million.
You cannot compare numbers this way. It is misleading. It takes factual statements and builds a deceptive construct around them. Why? To make you afraid. (Side note: how many people died of heart disease in 1918 versus 2021? Just saying.)
I’ve been asked if I feel “lucky” that my bout with COVID wasn’t more severe. I am of course grateful for everyday of my life where my health is good. But my experience with COVID was mild and in keeping with the vast, vast majority of cases, especially for those who are not elderly. So, while I am grateful, I feel like I fell into the statistical average of cases. That isn’t exactly luck.
Another question to be asked regarding the “high” number of COVID deaths in 2021 with our modern medicine compared to the Spanish Flu and compared to death rates around the world is this: how much more obese is America? How much more diabetic are we? How much more stressed out in general are we? These are true, serious underlying conditions. And why are we this way? That’s the question. Then, instead of encouraging us to eat right, take vitamins, get fresh air, exercise, socialize and live a healthy, normal life, they try to lock us up, stress us out and deteriorate our mental health. They fire health care workers and then tell us the hospitals cannot treat the sick.
I know of some people who have not left quarantine out of sheer terror of this virus in 19 months. Then I walk into the grocery store, without a mask, and see the smiling faces of my fellow unmasked Texans and realize that life goes on, and should go on, and will go on as long as we persist in making sure it does.
The social media outlets are banning discussion around natural antibodies acquired through previous infection, which if nothing else reassures me that my antibodies are far more effective than the vaccine and that I can now live my life without fear (not that I was afraid anyway).
And the next time anyone says a word to me about what Fauci says my response is going to be, “Fauci who?”
