COVID

COVID-19 (for COrona VIrus Disease circa 2019 or SARS-CoV-2) was a pandemic/opportunity for the left to seize liberty/power from the masses. COVID-19 or SARS-CoV-2 is a new variant of a Coronavirus like the Cold or the Flu, that went pandemic in 2020. The exploitive opportunism was as real as the pandemic, and the death/disease provided the left cover to steal liberties, power and further their agendas: under the false flag of "protecting us". 📑 All       ℹ️ Info           ~ Aristotle Sabouni Created: 2021-12-29

The Coronavirus is named after the fact that under a microscope it looks like the surface of the sun, with lots of little protrusions and bumps. These are series of diseases, but the one everyone is talking about for now, is the Chinese (Wuhan COVID-19 for COrona VIrus Disease circa 2019, or SARS-CoV-2) that was a pandemic.

❝ All of humanity's problems stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room alone. ❞ ~ Blaise Pascal ℹ️

While the CDC, WHO and FDA all blew their response, we've never seen a more effective response to a pandemic, and the U.S. outperformed most of the world in objective metrics. But as to be expected, partisan Democrats and their media never let an opportunity go to waste: to politicize, polarize, divide and undermine the American economy and people.

COVID Lies

           Main article: COVID Lies

The public was lied to. Not just mistakes, but outright deception. Those lies advantaged some politicians and elites, and have undermined the public trust. The steps in gaining that trust back are (a) admitting the truth (b) holding the liars accountable (c) addressing transparency and process to assure that it won't happen again. COVID Masks - Masking for COVID was a sham that defied the science and destroyed the credibility of the CDC and all that supported them. This was made worse by politicians mandating them, that may have made COVID worse. It divided America between the informed/skeptical, and the blind following left that ignored the science. COVID Biden - Biden ran on the fallacy that he would have handled COVID better, and that Trump was wrong, and that Biden would fix it once elected. Biden got elected. Despite being through the initial (larger) surges, having more knowledge of the virus, the vaccines and theraputics that Trump had delivered, Biden managed to get more people killed, polarized us more, and didn't fix anything. COVID Death Rates - IFR (Infection Fatality Rate aka Death Rate) is number of deaths divided by number of infections. These were intentionally exaggerated to scare people during COVID. In reality, the death rates settled to about Flu levels. (Though later variants were more virulent). The agencies meant to prevent panic and disinformation, were pertpetuators of it. COVID Models - There were multiple models used to scare the rubes on what we had to worry about with the COVID Pandemic. They were terribad. They either under-estimated or over-estimated the dead. But even when they got close, they got the time scale to get those deaths off by orders of magnitude (and would have been more wrong, if the predicted the Vaccines, but wrong on that as well). COVID Rebound - COVID "rebound" (where you get over it, and it comes back because you didn't get all of it the first time), is far more common the the CDC and FDA lead people to believe. They pretended it was a phenom of Paxlovid (antiviral), when it was just a behavior of the virus in general. And they kept selling that 💩 long after they knew better. COVID Shutdown - The shutdown was enacted under the guise 14 days to "bend the curve" and prevent a caseload surge that would overwhelm our healthcare and have millions die waiting for ventilators. What happened when you gave the left just a little bit of power? How did they react when the science showed they were wrong? COVID Trump - The Trump hating (TDS suffering) media, decided everything Trump said was wrong. Lies about Trump and COVID included: Trump reacted too quickly, then too slowly, Trump claimed COVID is a hoax, Trump claimed drinking Lysol is a cure, Trump claiming vaccines in 2020 was impossible, Hydroxychloroquine had no evidence or broader that other drugs like Remdesivir or Ivermectin were false hope, that it originated in China, that the travel ban was racist, that it might have originated in a lab. COVID/Natural Immunity - Multiple studies showed that Natural Immunity is better (more durable and more effective) than vaccines. But that didn't stop the frauds and liars from saying the opposite (despite evidence to the contrary) and not only that but silencing/censoring anyone that disagreed as "Disinformation".

COVID Organizations

           Main article: COVID Organizations

The Organizations of COVID, and what they did or accomplished: Branch COVIDians - The COVIDiots army of Dunning-Kruger Karen's that would repeat and enforce any diktat they've been told by big government operatives (CNN, DNC, etc) without question. With no domain knowledge or skepticism (critical thinking skills) this is the "govern me harder" crowd, that wants to tell others to follow at all costs. No matter how much evidence contradicts them. COVID CDC & FDA - The CDC's main goal is to protect public health from things like Global Pandemics (COVID), by getting us good info, and coordinating our response. The FDAs charter is around drugs, treatments and medical instruments. How would you score them on COVID? To me, we should eliminate both institutions entirely. Let their duties be absorbed by more competent and less political orgs. COVID CIA - The CIA is responsible for spying on our friends and enemies and telling us what's going on. Around COVID? The CCP, WHO, and others were lying. Where was the CIA? Either they didn't have the information, or it got suppressed. Either way, the CIA failed at it's charter. COVID Experts - Our "experts" and agencies that we poured billions into failed miserably at their charters. The TLA's (Three Letter Agencies) like the WHO, CDC, FDA, CIA and CCP or DNC (same thing), all blew chunks and/or lied, undermining faith in them amongst the rational. COVID FakeNews - The media has been generating a landslide of FakeNews around COVID (SARS-CoV-2). Some are fabrications, more are lies of exaggeration or omission (removing context). If you need evidence that the Media is against Americans and willing to sacrifice lives, or lie for ratings, this catastrophe alone will separate the informed from the media believers. Coronavirus as hate - Democrats never let an opportunity to politicize, demonize and hate go to waste. Corona Virus (COVID-SARS-2) was a delicious opportunity to undermine election integrity, freedom with artificial and unhelpful polarizing mandates, and the delicious ability to attack anyone that didn't immediately tow the progressive/fascist line. Flu Klux Klan - The progressive lens was the first to leap on authoritarian COVID shutdown/masks/vaccinations, and the last to consider the consequences. Some sincere, some want to hold the baby (economy) under water until the bubbles stop. The goal was to hurt Trump, create a dependency class, and achieve total state authority, under the false flag of saving people from COVID. NYT on COVID - NYT headline, "One Year, 400,000 Coronavirus Deaths: How The U.S. Guaranteed Its Own Failure"... and the subhead blaming Orangeman, "After the White House declined to pursue a unified national strategy, governors faced off against lobbyists, health experts and a restless public consumed by misinformation". That misinfo came from the NYT, CDC, FDA, WHO, and so on. WHO on COVID - The WHO is responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths around the world. If you want to know how they failed, and why the U.S. suspended payments until they complete an investigation. But it's not enough. The organization just covered for China, which leaked the virus, covered up data, and gave out false information, then profited off the disease. WHO didn't care. Wink - American software and hardware company that does smart home devices. During the middle of a COVID pandemic they went from paid to subscription only, with 7 days notice to customers. Pay the extortion or their products became useless. Users were going to be irked either way, but the way they handled it was guaranteed to cause maximum irritation and alienation

COVID People

           Main article: COVID People

The People of COVID, and what they did or accomplished: Amy Bednarz - In Woonsocket, Rhode Island, a Villanova Middle School teacher (Amy Bednarz) tweeted, ‘Somebody with Covid-19, I will pay you to cough on #Trump.' That wasn't enough to get retribution from Twitter since she had a (D) after her affiliation (she did delete her account), but it got the School Board involved... and she has since resigned. Anthony Fauci - Being a political figure in charge of a political organization like the NIH is hard to get credibility, but Fauci made it harder by being so arrogant, flip-floppy, and obviously partisan. The more he took the political position of attacking therapeutics while over-hyping prevention and vaccines (that he had investments in), the less trust he earned. COVID Biden - Biden ran on the fallacy that he would have handled COVID better, and that Trump was wrong, and that Biden would fix it once elected. Biden got elected. Despite being through the initial (larger) surges, having more knowledge of the virus, the vaccines and theraputics that Trump had delivered, Biden managed to get more people killed, polarized us more, and didn't fix anything. COVID Experts - Our "experts" and agencies that we poured billions into failed miserably at their charters. The TLA's (Three Letter Agencies) like the WHO, CDC, FDA, CIA and CCP or DNC (same thing), all blew chunks and/or lied, undermining faith in them amongst the rational. COVID Trump - The Trump hating (TDS suffering) media, decided everything Trump said was wrong. Lies about Trump and COVID included: Trump reacted too quickly, then too slowly, Trump claimed COVID is a hoax, Trump claimed drinking Lysol is a cure, Trump claiming vaccines in 2020 was impossible, Hydroxychloroquine had no evidence or broader that other drugs like Remdesivir or Ivermectin were false hope, that it originated in China, that the travel ban was racist, that it might have originated in a lab. Candi CdeBaca - Denver Democrat (Candi CdeBaca) re-tweeted, ‘If I do get Coronavirus, I’m attending every MAGA rally I can’, with the addition, "#solidarity Yaaaas!!". (Implying she wanted to infect as many Republicans with a deadly virus that she could). Conservatives were perma-banned for far less. But Twitter looks the other way for Democrats. Mills on COVID - Janet Mills handled COVID like any leftist asshat: she locked down the whole state (Maine) if any part showed a case -- not out of need or science, but as a show of solidarity at ruining the economy and hurting small business. This of course led to backlash and protests by businesses that didn't want to be destroyed, despite few cases of COVID. Musk on COVID - Elon Musk is rarely silent -- and COVID and the Shutdown are no exceptions. Ventilators (offered help, and gave it, but Newsome was a douche). Shelter-in-Place - the Press hyped that Musk admitting it was stupid and unconstitutional. He fought California and left over their stupid policies. In other words, he did all the right things. Newsom on COVID - Newsom on COVID is like any other leftist asshat trying to punish good behavior (or his political enemies), and rewarding bad behavior or putting symbolism over substance. Examples include: taxing Californians to reward illegal aliens for breaking our laws, shutting down only OC beaches (and getting ignored), shutting down most wineries and exempting his own. Overcoming Vaccine Hesitancy - If you want to overcome vaccine hesitancy it's not hard: be honest, transparent, consistent, follow the science, and don't mandate. Don't lie, censor, flip-flop, polarize/politicize, and hold those that do accountable. Create trust and feelings of being informed, instead of helpless pawns being told what to do or lied to. Be the anti-Biden / anti-Fauci / anti-MSM. Whitmer on COVID - Whitmer on COVID is like any other leftist asshat using one-size-fits-all policies to punish rural parts of the State, because of things happening in Detroit (her base). So she arbitrarily invented laws that made no sense at all.

Science

           Main article: COVID/Science

Following the Science means to do the opposite of what Democrats said, every step of the way: COVID Immunity and mutation rate - There's some dispute on the Coronavirus mutation rate. The basics are it is an RNA type virus, that's twice as complex and mutates at half the rate of the seasonal flu. Combined, that's an effective mutation rate at 1/4th the Flu. Is that slow enough that we can create vaccines? We should have known. We didn't. We call that willfully ignorant. (Or paid off). COVID Models - There were multiple models used to scare the rubes on what we had to worry about with the COVID Pandemic. They were terribad. They either under-estimated or over-estimated the dead. But even when they got close, they got the time scale to get those deaths off by orders of magnitude (and would have been more wrong, if the predicted the Vaccines, but wrong on that as well). COVID Studies - Over a dozen Antibody tests (by April 2020) prove that we are completely being lied to about the denominator (how many total cases there are), which inflates the death rate and scares people unnecessarily. The continuing lockdown is anti-science, senseless, and done for a political agenda. COVID Testing - When trying to contain a disease break-out, testing matters. Once the disease is in the general population (March 2020), contact tracing and controls are impractical, testing is just trend tracking in communities. So those claiming we couldn't open until we had millions of tests were lying to keep us locked down. That wasn't science, that was fascism. COVID Therapeutics - There are also many existing drugs that offer some help with COVID. A few include: Hydroxychloroquine, Remdesivir, Ivermectin, Calquence, Antibody therapy COVID Treatment - There are a lot of positives for various treatments around COVID... COVID Vaccines - Failures on vaccines; (1) it wouldn't get released in 2020 (2) the virus wouldn't out mutate the vaccine / vaccines would lear to zero COVID (3) there wouldn't be complications and the risks were low so everyone should take it (4) we should mandate everyone get it, incuding children (ignore risks/cohorts). COVID/Science - Following the science often means do the opposite of what the DNC and their media and 3 letter agencies are telling you to. It is remaining skeptical, questioning, and looking at both sides of what you are being told. Follow the evidence, not the politics., The left wants less free choice for most people, most of the time, unless it furthers a leftist cause du jour. In this case, the NYT and NY Legislature wants to allow kids to get COVID vaccines, in order to help us get to herd immunity levels that they pulled out of their asses. Herd Immunity - Herd immunity means that enough people have had a disease, that the contagion can't spread and dies out. (Basically the effective R0, or how many people each person with the disease passes it on to, is less than 1 other person). This belief leads to misconceptions. This article addresses those. Parental Consent for Vaccines - The left wants less free choice for most people, most of the time, unless it furthers a leftist cause du jour. In this case, the NYT and NY Legislature wants to allow kids to get COVID vaccines, in order to help us get to herd immunity levels that they pulled out of their asses. Reaction to COVID - The Nocebo Effect (fear/stress/uncertainty) kills. Democrats maximized that "opportunity" for money, power and political gain, without regard to the costs. Don't talk about compassion, if you are willing to hurt or kill for a political agenda. Vaccines and Anti-Vaxxers - Both sides can be preachy and wrong. While I'm no anti-Vaxxer (I've gotten all mine, I don't think vaccines are the cause of autism, and I would get them for my imaginary kids), I find the anti-Vax crowd has points that the anti-anti-vax crowd is either unwilling or incapable of understanding (their arguments are more focused around the cult of authority).

Other

Other articles on COVID.

• COVID Gyms - It was known that staying healthy protected against COVID death (like working out). Study shows shutting down Gyms was a very bad idea. Now we didn’t 100% know this was the case, but it was a pretty easy concept to intuit. And my Gym (Lifetime) showed that there was no case tracing, and that it helped. Still, Blue State kept them closed, Red States kept them opened.
• Coronavirus mitigation - I went to the movies the other day, and watched The Hunt. A fun slasher film. But it was also interesting seeing the regulations to mitigate the Coronavirus as implemented in San Jose (the Icon Theater at Valley Fair). The kept 2 empty seats between each seat pair, and no one could sit in front or behind you (a checkerboard). Turns out then they locked down, for a year.
• End the Shutdown - There's a lot of people that just want to end the shutdown. Motivations vary: speeding herd immunity, not fearing the disease (looking at numbers of asymptomatic cases or death rates), just recognizing the harm to the economy, the questionable value over social distancing, or costs to people. Authoritarians don't care. Authority matters more than human rights.
• Opinions on COVID Correction bottom - 03.2020 - Market reacts to fear and tries to price in uncertainty. The problem is that there are magnifiers, and most often the market OVER reacts to new information. So overcorrection in March (stampede for the exit), wild volatility until we know how our government and the people will react -- then slow stability as normalcy returns.
• Polarizing the shutdown - The left believes in (a) making rules is the same as convincing people to follow them (b) destroying the economy and blaming Trump for it. So naturally, they want the shutdown to go on as long as possible, and are furious when people disagree. In a diverse society, you're going to get a diversity of followers.
