No they can't. The Democrats were able to use Covid to crush the Republicans because the media is 100% on their side.
Republicans are always surprised that the tactic of calling out the other side for their hypocrisy doesn't work for them when it does for the Democrats when they have the Cathedral on their side, and this would be no different. The Republicans would be excoriated for destroying the economy out of political spite and it would never occur to the majority that Democrats did exactly that and got away with it.

It is safe to assume that any Republican that doesn't toe the line will be cut off from the gravy train. They all understand that. We'll still get the show of opposition, but the trajectory of the nation will be traveling unimpeded in one direction regardless.
 
Remember when the media said Japan was manging COVID so well? They are getting buttfucked by Rona Chan again and it's getting worse.

Also suicide increased 16%. At least it's only 94 Covid deaths so far...but that's most likely not the actual number of deaths.
Japan was never handling it well. They had more suicide deaths in 2020 due to depression and isolation than COVID deaths.


It's just that the MSM had successfully created this fucking bullshit narrative that only COVID deaths count. I had arguments with people that saving 10,000 people from COVID wasn't worth it if 20,000 people died from suicide and depression, and their response was, and I fucking quote:

"Is that your Final Solution?"

Yes, they called me literally Hitler for bringing it up.
 
Good news everybody! Covid will be over in 100 days. Know how I know that?

They are dialing back the amplification cycles on the PCR test as of yesterday. All the false positives will drop off, and Biden's 100 days of masking will be heralded as saving the day.


It'll still be super serious though, so make sure to get your totally safe vaccine comrade. You can end the thread now, you're welcome.
What a fucking joke.

And that is being overmuch generous to the covid numbers.

Any ethical comparison would be:

10,000 covid deaths * median(life expectancy - current age of each person) compared with 20,000 * median(life expectancy - current age of each person)

and the hysteria over the left hand side and erasure of the right hand side becomes obscene in hiding the true damage to society.
 
On the one hand almost everyone from all parts of the political spectrum have openly talked about how covid will magically go away once the right people manage to get themselves into office - much like how the Russia collusion hoax literally and without exaggeration disappeared overnight.

But I feel there is a strong chance that this 24/7 panic porn fear driven embrace of authoritarian is a monster that has escaped its masters control and they are going to be unable to easily pull the plug.

The very same garbage tier 'scientists' that are responsible for this murderous clusterfuck are calling for lockdowns every time the flu hits each year. The precedence has been set that 'even one life is too many' to care even the slightest about the economy or all other causes of death. Another two hundred thousand(plus or minus fifty to a hundred thousand) mostly old people are going to die from the flu this year like every other year. How can these same clowns 'just do nothing while people are dying' when they shut the entire fucking country down just a few months ago.

Perhaps they will simply start bullshitting about the numbers of people who were dumb enough to get their free PalsyJabs and that we have magically reached herd immunity. And likewise the mainstream media will deliberately decide to completely stop giving a shit about 85 year olds dying from the flu this year and that combination will make enough people to stop giving a shit.

The Democrats are lucky the hapless Republicans are pathetic losers. They could utterly annihilate the Democrats with covid right now with any attempt to put an end to the beast they have created:
  • Lower PCR cycles? Democrats are killing grandma! Even one life is too many!
  • Ease the ascientific lockdowns? Democrats are killing grandma! Even one life is too many!
  • Stop reporting non-covid deaths as covid deaths? Democrats are killing grandma! Even one life is too many!
The Republics could send the entire US economy into a depression with the Democrats very own rhetoric and playbook they used to attack the Orange Man and ensure the Democrats lose all three branches of government over the next two to four years.
Boomers are going to start dying off en masse in the coming decade, which is going to be easy for propagandist / hysteria-mongers to exploit. Life expectancy for men is ~76 in the US, and the baby boom started in ~1946, which gives us another year or so before the sky starts to really fall (in terms of optics, it won't be anything other than old people being old and dying of old age)
 
Why should they give that up at this point?
Well, we all saw just two weeks ago what makes them pay attention to the people. Now that everyone can see what kind of stimulus gets a response it only becomes a matter of the people fine tuning that stimulus to render the desired outcome.

It should be interesting.

I know everyone wants this to be the gotcha moment for COVID being a Democrat hoax but that WHO article was posted on December 14th. They only updated it on Corn Pop Day.


Not to mention the WHO keeps walking back on things. Masks don't work, wait yeah they might, no wait yeah they do. China did nothing wrong, um wait they might have. Lockdowns will help stop the spread, actually we don't recommend lockdowns at all. Honestly at this point the last people anyone should be paying attention to is the WHO.

Yes the WHO has been against high amplification cycles for a while. But the gotcha that is causing all of this news is from a memo the WHO put out yesterday. Found the link at this zero hedge article: https://www.zerohedge.com/economics...r-tests-produce-massive-covid-false-positives

WHO notice: https://www.who.int/news/item/20-01-2021-who-information-notice-for-ivd-users-2020-05
 
I love that the MSM has made it a "conspiracy theory" that maybe China isn't being truthful about any of this.

Crazy when you retrace why:
  1. Obama era State Department people using NATO encroachment on Russia through Ukraine to enrich themselves(Clinton,Biden,...)
  2. Deflection from attacks buy Trump for their illegal grifting by claiming Trump is 'colluding with Russia'
  3. State Department Obama era cronies fabricate evidence to support the deflection
  4. Mainstream media picks up and runs with the Trump Russia hoax with a single bit of skepticism
  5. Any attacks by Trump on China are spun as him trying to deflect from the fake Russia collusion
  6. Nancy Pelosi visits Chinatown just as covid is exploding to own Trump and his racism against China
I don't really like the Trump China Flu crap. Nor do I automatically assume data coming out of China is 100 percent lies. But the US and China are on the path to an inevitable war for dominance in the Pacific and it is going to be very difficult to get anything remotely close to the truth out of the two mainstream medias.

But the US press continuing to play the protect China to own Trump game is pathetic.

That's literally the memo I was talking about, and linked the archive for showing that it was posted on December 14th, 2020. It was updated with clarification on January 20th, 2021. It was not "put out yesterday".

Yep, I firmly believe that China has had less COVID deaths than the US. Nothing weird looking about that statement.
For the past few months they've been opening up to the possibility that China fucked up. Most notably the New York Magazine article about the lab-leak origin theory.

The update came out on the 20th, and you don't find that suspicious?
 
If the Feds wanted to give everyone "free money", they could just cut the federal tax rate on paychecks from 22% to 15% or something. Or just remove the 10% tax on the first $9875 annual income and give everyone $987.50 that way.
That's what it is, though. It "feels" better to have "free money" more than it does to keep your existing money.
Japan was never handling it well. They had more suicide deaths in 2020 due to depression and isolation than COVID deaths.

Flip it on them. Tell them they're making a clear prioritization of fatties and the elderly over the neurodivergent.

I find anything the WHO does to be suspicious because it's become a bullshit political organization led by a piece of shit who didn't even care enough about the health of his own country when he was in charge of it. But I don't see this being the moment that COVID becomes a nothingburger. Why did no one pay attention to it in December? Why did cases continue to rise globally despite the WHO already saying positivity is related to testing sensitivity if the WHO's influence is so significant?

I guess we'll see if cases decline notably, especially in the USA in the next few weeks. I am fine with being wrong, and would not be surprised if it turns out that it suddenly becomes not a big deal now that Biden is in office. But after a year of not only personally believing but also being exposed to evidence that COVID is a very serious pandemic as well as being overblown and politically charged, I prefer to look at things critically and carefully instead of jumping to conclusions.
 
Just found out today that since my town made the boneheaded decision last year to cancel both the annual festival that brings tourists from around the world, and the county fair to really get us all terrified of the coof, they now have absolutely no money to attempt bringing either back this year. So both are again officially canceled even before spring.

They're already spinning it as totally necessary and unavoidable and it's looking like a great way to keep everyone terrified for another year already. No idea how they figure they'll raise the money to ever put on any events again, but nobody seems to really care because it's keeping grandma safe from the plague rats I guess.
