Fury, Rising: The Promotion Of COVID Panic Is About To Backfire
Fury, Rising: The Promotion Of COVID Panic Is About To Backfire
After almost two years of Democrats and their media crying wolf over COVID and trying to instill panic, Americans have had just about enough.

If anything, political pressures may prevent the White House from going far enough, Binghamton University political science professor Olga Shvetsova argued.
In order to halt the virus, she said vaccines must not only be mandated but that fully vaccinated people need to be tested regularly to stop the emergence of new variants.
We cannot allow people to be sick but not too sick,” Shvetsova said. “That’s what created delta, and that’s what created omicron. It’s not only about preventing people from being terribly sick. It’s about preventing them from being sick in invisible ways.”
— As reported in the Washington Examiner
Of course, Ms. Shvetsova is not a medical doctor, and it’s reasonable to doubt that politics represents any kind of science at all, but just a pretense of it in order to affect some academic respectability. Which prompts one to wonder: what shreds of respectability remain in the universities run by Jacobin maniacs? (Answer: almost none, and zero cred, too, lately, and note that having surrendered entirely to this kind of intellectual racketeering, higher ed is just another major institution whirling around the drain.)
There’s a lot to marvel at, though, in the manifold insanity of Ms. Shvetsova’s quoted views, starting with its overall totalitarian gusto. No ambiguity there about the need for coercion, for pushing people around, with no reference to legal niceties. (Note, political science is a field apart from the study of law, which doesn’t pretend to be science.) The bit I love most is: “It’s about preventing [citizens] from being sick in invisible ways.” Huh…? You know what else is invisible? Your thoughts. You could be harboring hostile thoughts about the folks who seek to push you around, which could lead to the accusation that you are an enemy of the state!

Covid psychosis is just a reassignment of the Trump derangement, which was provoked by the generalized anxiety about collapsing industrial societies. The reasons for the collapse are not hard to grok: a declining resource base, especially affordable, economically plausible oil, a financial system purposefully detached from on-the-ground material reality, and sets of grossly foolish over-investments in complexity in the techno-narcissistic effort to work-around all that.
The epic Trump and Covid hysterias (with a side-dish of climate neurosis) managed to distract the masses from those essential economic quandaries. But now the breakdown in all the channels of production, trade, and money is roaring in our faces, and just at Christmas time, too, when the sore-beset people seek just a few weeks’ respite from their travail and despair. Don’t be surprised by their rising fury over this in the days ahead.
Comment:
How are they going to escape the explosion of rage when people finally get around to discovering tens of thousands have died without benefit of monoclonals antibodies which Trump touted over a year ago?
Then there is the positive evidence from India that HCQ, Zn and Ivermectin work in combating Wuhan Covid-19 virus.
Think of it as devolution in action.
Fear porn is the opiate of the Progressive Marxist/DSA Democrat Left, and it is creating lasting harm on the body politic, as well as the general level of civility and prosperity.
The 'Great Reset' aka "Fundamental Transformation of America" has turned out to be the cause of a great deal of grief and dismay. There are certainly going to be a considerable number of new alignments, and the adjustment of these new alignments is not going to be free of friction points.
