As my 17 year old son states: "the pandemic will last as long as the people tolerating the mandates, mask wearing, vaxx requirements, etc want it to".

Yep. He pretty much hit the nail on the head. If you don't stand for something, we fall for anything.

COVID is no different. Wearing a mask doesn't mean you won't catch COVID.
The mask


The holy grail of germaphobes. This is why we see people wearing a screen door, err cloth mask driving alone in their cars. They are the ones spraying down their shopping cart, using a towelette to touch everything and still trying to be six feet from everyone. They also refuse to use cash and wipe down their debit card immediately after use. They will rarely exercise and refuse to let even family in their houses. Other than food they will only venture out for their 23rd booster shot and take their own temperature 12 times an hour all the while being glued to CNN waiting on news of the next deadly "variant". They have no sex life, no friends beyond face book or twitter. I'm guessing at this point they've gone to either talking to the cat or have a soccer ball named Wilson.


Literally wasting years of their lives in a panic 24/7. Yet, Fauci is their Demigod.

He does choose to make political conclusions -

"To me ... when you're dealing with the common enemy of a virus and you have a highly effective tool to protect you, [but] because you are in a particular political ideology, you decide you don't want to get vaccinated, I just think that's really unfortunate," Fauci said.
one wonders why he was expressing so much hesitancy over the vaccines in the fall ...

The pandemic only lasted a month, that’s about how long it took us to figure out it was a 98% survival rate virus for the non-obese.

The overblown kneejerk reaction of mask mandates, lockdowns, vaccines, martial law, and booster shots has lasted 2 years, and will continue for the foreseeable future under woke radical liberals.

all of this made sense very early on in the pandemic when there was so much unknown. the fact people are still doing this is mind boggling. My favorite are the people with the gloves facemask wiping things down etc with the mask under their nose. True geniuses. I saw one guy in a casino last week with the entire getup,gloves included opening doors with his elbow. He's that worried about covid but still in a casino- amazing.

Peter Navarro says that Biden won't fire him because he ran on Covid and he got elected base on Covid and firing Fauci would be admitting he was wrong about the whole thing and Fauci is like Biden's trophy representing that he won. Makes sense because he's sure not competent, but then again, neither is Biden.

Oh yes. I saw this woman press the elevator button in a casino with her shoe. She also had the mask below her nose. I was like

At my building in Miami Beach, I saw a healthy young kid (late teens, early 20s) wearing a mask while swimming in the pool

It’s news that Fauci didn’t have a time machine?

Don't forget they closed the oceans and forests too. For nearly a year.
