Hmmm... do they have their next batch of toxins ready to roll?

Birx says US must prepare for summer COVID surge as immunity wanes

Deborah Birx, a leading member of the Trump administration’s White House coronavirus task force, said on Sunday the U.S. should be prepared for another potential COVID-19 surge after a recent uptick in infections in South Africa.

...
“Each of these surges are about four to six months apart. That tells me that natural immunity wanes enough in the general population after four to six months that a significant surge is going to occur again. And this is what we have to be prepared for in this country,” she added.

Birx specifically warned Americans should be “preparing right now for a potential surge in this summer across the southern United States.”

...
Her remarks come after South Africa saw a major uptick in infections after the highly contagious omicron variant was first detected there late last year.

More recently, South Africa has seen more than 31,000 COVID-19 cases in the past week, which is still significantly lower than the over 140,000 cases reported at the height of the omicron surge in December, according to the Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center.


They are telling you that it's coming.

Didn't Biden promise to end this pandemic within 100 days?

Who freaking cares at this point? It's a bad cold, nothing more. For most people, not even flu-like. But hey, everyone, be scared, mask up, and go get your seventeenth booster!!

He can make that claim because Fauci officially pronounced the end of the pandemic last week. So in their minds - it's over.

The rest of these "outbreaks" will probably be classified as something else.

This is looking like "election prep COVID".

Did we lock down and wear masks and ruin the economy for cholesterol?

Maybe we should have, since the problem of cholesterol has only gotten worse

Then - it is different from a doctor advising against cholesterol, which is not what you said on page 1.

Notice how cases seem to peak in the summer then again in the winter? Think it has anything to do with people being indoors more frequently then?
