There are always going to be variants, and there are always going to be people insisting on the same remedies that haven’t worked or have been counterproductive. From Ian Miller at brownstone.org:
For those of us on the side of sanity, reason, and data-driven evidence, the refusal of Covid extremist “experts” to admit mistakes has been a constant, oppressive source of frustration.
The names of those involved in creating a false consensus based on inaccurate information have become an infamous reminder of the dangers of excessive reliance on a few politically motivated individuals: Anthony Fauci, Francis Collins, Jerome Adams, Deborah Birx, and later entries like Ashish Jha and Vivek Murthy.
There were a host of others who had a significant impact on the rampant spread of indefensible, immediately disproven ideas, mandates, and policies.
Many continue into 2024 to advocate for failed policies, “interventions” that still don’t work, and unnecessary panic. And all with the willing participation of major media outlets dedicated to continuing their preferred narratives. For example, those who support the endless Covid vaccination series over natural immunity.
This week we saw two wildly opposite storylines on Covid narratives that indicate yet again the disastrous incompetence of the “expert” class.
New Variants Mean Same Old Masks
Perhaps the two most popular excuses for the failure of pandemic interventions were lack of compliance and new variants.
Mommygov will get me a HAZMAT suit that can be worn 24-7 due to sturdiness?

You mean there are some things in this world not in control of the best government that money can buy?

Meanwhile at the biolab…Der Kommissar!
When I grew up and left home, I became an adult with all the risks that entails. I have never since needed a parent, nanny, babysitter, teacher, guardian or any external authority to make decisions for me. Nor have I accepted or consented to them.
I have always and will always rely on my own good judgement and wisdom born of knowledge and experience.
