Fauci Admits Child Covid Hospitalizations Exaggerated

Listen to him long enough — and we have listened to him nonstop for 2 years — and even Anthony Fauci, Big Government technocracy personified, will say something sensible. He admitted on MSNBC that hospitalizations of children with Covid are blown out of proportion, because these children tend to be admitted for more serious conditions unrelated to Covid.

Quoth Fauci:

“[I]f you look at the children who are hospitalized, many of them are hospitalized with Covid as opposed to because of Covid, and what we mean by that, if a child goes in the hospital, they automatically get tested for Covid, and they get counted as a Covid-hospitalized individual, when in fact, they may go in for a broken leg or appendicitis or something like that. So it’s overcounting the number of children who are, quote, ‘hospitalized with Covid,’ as opposed to because of Covid.”

This is because Covid tends to be so mild in children that often no one would know they had it if they weren’t in the hospital for some other reason. Omicron appears to be even milder in children than earlier variants.

Meanwhile, the leftists running California and New York mandate vaccination for small children, despite the long-term effects of the vaccines still being unknowable.

When even its greatest beneficiary admits the Covid crisis is overblown, the party is winding down. Unfortunately, Covid tyranny is only a dry run for what they intend to inflict on us in the name of the imaginary climate crisis. Refer to the Great Reset for details.

Marines Prove Vax Mandates Not as Useless as They Seem

Some people don’t get the point of authoritarian Covid mandates imposed by the federal government, especially in light of Biden admitting that there is no federal solution to the ChiCom virus:

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis wants President Joe Biden to scrap his ‘useless’ vaccine mandates after he told the leaders of 25 states that there is ‘no federal solution’ to the COVID-19 pandemic, his office said on Tuesday. …

‘More Americans have died of COVID-19 under Biden than under Trump. Now that Biden has admitted to the nation that he has no plan to “shut down the virus,” and that there is “no federal solution,” we expect him to withdraw the unconstitutional and useless federal vaccine mandates,’ DeSantis’ office said.

However, Marines understand that the mandates are far from useless:

U.S. Marines are being “crushed” by President Biden’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate as thousands face dismissal for their continued refusal to get the shot, several active-duty Marines told Fox News Digital.

So far, a grand total of two Marines have died of Covid. The disease itself is not a serious issue for Marines. But the mandate is.

Several Marines who refuse to get the shot were granted anonymity by Fox News Digital, so they could speak freely. They said they are witnessing a “political purge” by the Biden administration that is forcing out the military’s “best and brightest” over deeply held beliefs they say are protected by the First Amendment.

Upon taking power, Biden’s leftist Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin ordered a military-wide stand-down to purge thought criminals. This campaign continues in the name of Covid.

For the Democratic Party’s neo-Marxist agenda to be fully implemented, the armed forces must be willing to turn their guns on Americans. Purging the military of people who will make their own judgments and stand by them is crucial in this regard. So vaccine mandates are not so useless after all.

Likewise, applications for a religious exemption to the vaccine might seem useless, because the military has not approved a single one. But they serve their purpose, which is to help the Mark Milley types at the top of the command chain to identify the ideologically intransigent.

CNN Suggests Withholding Social Security to Impose Vaccine

In case anyone needed it explained why we do not want the government in charge of our retirement, CNN propagandist Anderson Cooper helped make it clear.

It isn’t just that we would retire at a higher standard of living if we invested the money rather than letting bureaucrats confiscate the wealth we create, waste it, then put us on an allowance of someone else’s money. It isn’t just that Social Security is a Ponzi scheme obviously destined to collapse as ever fewer workers are forced to support ever more retirees. The main reason to oppose Social Security is the main reason it exists: it makes us dependent on the vermin comprising the federal government.

We are at the mercy of Biden/Pelosi/AOC/Schumer/Sanders, the crony capitalists who finance them, and the media Marxists who brainwash the masses into tolerating them. They can even force us to take a vaccine against our will by threatening to cut us off from our own money in old age, leaving us to freeze and starve.

Watch CNN propagandist Anderson Cooper float the idea to zillionaire social engineer Bill Gates:

Cooper, speaking for the liberal establishment:

“Do you think the Federal government or state governments, or at the very least Federal government should mandate, if you want to get on an airplane, you have to be vaccinated, and if you want to get Social Security, you need to be vaccinated, and if you want to get whatever benefits they give, you need to be vaccinated for. Is that something that the U.S. can and should do?”

Presumably “whatever benefits they give” would also apply to benefits paid to servicemembers disabled in battle.

Anthony Fauci, worshiped by liberals as the personification of the federal bureaucracy, has already endorsed requiring vaccination to fly.

Anderson Cooper isn’t the only Covid totalitarian at CNN, even after Fredo Cuomo’s disgraceful demise. As BizPac Review notes,

Don Lemon has called for the unvaccinated to be banned from shopping at supermarkets, one of the many leftists and media personalities who have been clamoring for the noncompliant to have their ability to participate in society stripped from them.

Let’s note yet again that the vaccines appear to make little sense for those who have already had Covid or who are too young to be at serious risk from it. Take advice from your doctor, not bureaucrats or propagandists.

The characters on CNN have every right to be nauseating fools on their unwatched channel. The problem is that, like all progressives, they want to forcibly impose their will on the rest of us.

Fauci in Line for Biggest Federal Retirement Package Ever

Clueless yet arrogant Anthony Fauci is the face of the tyrannical and incompetent technocracy that has exploited Covid to increase its power at the country’s expense. At age 81, he is overdue to step down, like crooning fellow technotyrant Francis Collins. If he retires, the highest paid federal employee will cost taxpayers over $350,000 per year in retirement benefits.

Via Open the Books:

Fauci would reap the largest federal retirement package in U.S. history.

Our auditors at OpenTheBooks.com estimate Dr. Fauci’s annual retirement would exceed $350,000. Thereafter, his pension and benefits would continue to increase through annual cost-of-living adjustments.

Given the skyrocketing cost of living under Democrat rule, his pension is likely to become as colossal as his ego.

Sadly, Fauci has no plans to retire. His work is too crucial to the nation.

“I’m the head of an institute that actually played the major role in the development of the vaccines that have saved now millions of lives from COVID-19,” he told CBS’ “Face the Nation” in an interview. “I’m the director of the institute that has now been very important in the basic research in leading to the drugs that will now have an important impact in the treatment of COVID-19. That’s what I do.”

He doesn’t mention his possible role in funding ChiCom gain-of-function research that created the virus.

“So, I’m going to keep doing that until this COVID-19 outbreak is in the rearview mirror, regardless of what anybody says about me, or wants to lie and create crazy fabrications because of political motivations[.]”

Earlier, we were led to believe that people lie and create crazy fabrications about him because they hate Science.

If it is up to Fauci et al., Covid is never going anywhere, so retirement is out of the question. Maybe he can pay the ChiComs with our money to work on re-animator fluid, so that he can stay on the job even after he has passed away.

In other Fauci news, Senator Rand Paul makes the case that Fauci has been killing thousands of Americans per month with his irrational emphasis on vaccines rather than therapeutics:

“I would venture to say that thousands of people die in our country every month now from COVID because [Fauci’s] deemphasized the idea that there are therapeutics,” Paul, who is also a physician, said in an interview on the Ron Paul Liberty Report published Monday.

Among the most promising therapeutics are monoclonal antibodies, which work so well that in Minnesota, hated Caucasians are put last in line for them.

“Recent data showed that monoclonal antibody treatment cuts the risk of death and hospitalization by 70% in high-risk patients and reduces the chance of infection among a household by 80%,” Paul wrote in a September op-ed. “Monoclonal antibodies have only just begun to be mentioned by the mainstream media, and misinformation still plagues government bureaucrats when discussing this scientifically-backed treatment.”

Fauci does not personify Science as he imagines, but he does personify government bureaucrats.

Omicron Hard to Distinguish From Normal Cold

Authorities tell us the Omicron variant is a crisis requiring government action. Meanwhile, even the moonbats at Business Insider admit to difficulties distinguishing it from the common cold:

New data from the Zoe symptom-tracker app suggests one in two people with new coldlike symptoms will have COVID-19 rather than the common cold.

Tim Spector, an epidemiologist and the study’s lead author, said in a press release on Thursday that for most people, getting infected with Omicron would feel “much more like the common cold, starting with a sore throat, runny nose and a headache,” rather than fevers, continuous cough, or loss of taste or smell.

Naturally, this is presented as a reason to panic.

“We need to change public messaging urgently to save lives as half of people with cold-like symptoms now have COVID-19,” Spector said.

Changing public messaging won’t make much difference at this point. People have learned not to take anything coming out of our technocratic overlords at face value.

No wonder they panic over Omicron. The variant seems to indicate that Covid is evolving to become much milder and more transmissible. Everyone will get it no matter what Big Government does, and it won’t be a big deal. Our rulers will have to go back to hyping the tired global warming hoax.

Attack of the Covid Karen

Don’t expect Christmas spirit from Covid Karens. They are not to be distracted by anything so frivolous when they are focused on preventing the spread of disease by spitting on strangers for not obeying senseless mask mandates:

This could offer some insight into who votes for politicians known for imposing tyrannical Covid policies that they themselves flout.

Masks on airline flights serve little purpose other than to signal mindless compliance. The air is so thoroughly filtered that inside an airplane is probably the safest indoor public place you could find in terms of airborne viruses — unless a Covid Karen starts spitting in your face.

Covid Overtaken by Secondary Pandemic

We are in the grip of a terrifying pandemic that may have serious long-term consequences for Western civilization. I’m not talking about Covid, which appears to be petering out with the mild Omicron variant. More alarming is the epidemic of illness anxiety disorder that has been methodically instilled, exacerbated, and exploited by our moonbat ruling class:
