remaining hype is about control, collectivism and starting the new social[ist] order.

the experts are bought, all they have is appeal to authority propaganda shown as expertise......

fauci exchange with rand paul is enlightening he gets mad, then paul wins except on edited version shown on the official propaganda outlets...

They only have to use the smoke and mirrors for a couple more months until flu season comes around and the "real" metrics start to rise again. They will avoid, at all costs, overlaying the numbers by year, because when you do that you see exactly what you expect: each 'wave' is smaller than the last because there are fewer people who are still susceptible.

add'l tool for you: Thanks to amazing @ifihadastick for creating this state-specific pediatric hospitalization tracker: https://app.powerbi.com/view?r=eyJrIjoiMzBjZDU5YTMtNjI1MC00ZGEzLTkyMzAtMzc2OGI5MmE2NTg3IiwidCI6IjQ4ZGIxMmFjLTVkYzMtNGQ1MS05N2VkLTVhM2RkZTYxOTlmYyJ9

I wonder what the trajectory and duration of the media hysteria timeline looks like starting with the summer of 2000 when the media went nuts about shark attacks, then 9/11 (the shoe bomber may have been the peak), then Obama, then Trump, and now COVID. Are the hysterical periods getting longer and what are the media revenues per "hysterical" event? I am a big believer in following the money. It usually reveals a lot.

Interesting that the JHU data graphs you show have different Y-axis scales. I see they're ("they" being MSM and approves social media) careful NOT to do year over year and just show big curves - lying with statistics. Regarding schools, it's baffling that the UK will be open and maskless come fall while here it's a daily struggle just to keep summer programs for kids open and in-person.

It will be a beautiful day when we no longer, never ever, hear the names/voices/see the faces of Hotez, Osterholm, Gottlieb, Slavitt, Wenn, Fauci, Wallenski, etc etc etc etc. They type of people you wouldn't normally give two seconds of attention to (still don't). The type of folks so worthless and so pathologically narcissistically inept that they could only survive in Govt, consulting, academia or media. The type of folks who if they sat down at a brewery next to you (they wouldn't), you would move. On another topic, I love the supposedly intelligent folk I know who COMPLETELY ignore the existence of natural immunity. Their entire world view is based on vax/no vax. Some of these people run funds. Not rushing out to invest w/ them.

“70%+ of reported cases appear to be non-clinical“ is this a best-guess collection of data or is this metric from somewhere.

Are antibody tests expensive? Why aren't we doing that for free before the free vaccine jabs? If every life saved is so important, how many lives/health are we neglecting by vaccinating people who have had the disease and don't know it?

...and yet, indoor masking is back in D.C., just in time, I guess, to make sure the hype helps with elections, control, or whatever else. Disturbing, and yet, all-too-expected!

The Cadwalladers and the SAGEs and the Gates and the Lord God Faucis of the world will not let this up willingly. I used to think that if you owned the media you could get away with anything, but now I think you also need to own the so-called Department of Justice. No one going to make indictments, ever, anywhere.

Mr. Bad Cat, I saw this amazing piece of fear porn and thought you might like to claw at it for a while. A model predicts 240,000 new infections and day and 4,000 deaths a day because of the Indian delta variant. This is Neil Fergurson/IHME level crapola.

Here's a good summary of the COVID era to date: https://eugyppius.substack.com/p/corona Anything wrong here? My only thought, the long term effects of all the lies. Truth only works when there is trust, when people believe the truth. More chaos likely.

This is a great analysis and we need more like them. High-resolution stats on covid mortality rates per region/county/district around the US and other nations with abysmal vaccination rates will be useful as well. In aggregate, the US has done well but I don't expect the declining average national stats to be reflected uniformly in regions of the US with extremely low vaccination rates. The same will of course apply to low vaccination regions in other countries. In various parts of Mexico, deaths are surging, and nationally the country has a paltry 15% double dose vaccinated population.
