I hope by now everyone realizes that this is never going to end. They'll keep finding variants untill they control every aspect of your life.
ReplyDeleteThose of of us with a משהו שכל בקדקדו kew this all along.
It must be really difficult to live in that head of yours.
DeleteTo honestly think that there is some guy somewhere who really really wants to control your movements, and get you to live according to the way he thinks. He doesn’t know you, doesn’t make any profit off it, yet he fooled the whole world, just to control you.
And that scenario is more likely in your mind than the idea that viruses mutate and things don’t stay the same.
Your baseless, foolish, conspiracy theory is more mistaber to you than simple science.
There may be שכל but not in the קדקד. Seems more likely to be somewhere else.
So how does your logic explain why without knowing anything about this variant - which currently appears to have mild symptoms - but Dr Fauci is already saying lockdowns are possible. Do you not see that they are following a pattern that has been used in history before? Those that called out Hitler and his movement were also called conspiracy theorists.
DeleteShould I tell you why Fauci said 'lockdowns are possible'?
DeleteBecause, wait for it, lockdowns are possible.
That was simple.
It depends on what the research uncovers.
The pattern is - contagious disease is a reason to prevent people from gathering together until the contagious disease is under control.
That makes more sense than your convoluted idea of unknown people trying to control your lives.
Because the lockdowns worked so well last time... right? And explain this, why has the CDC and the WHO fought every single treatment that did not reap big profits for big pharma?
DeleteWhy discourage Ivermectin and Hydroxychloriquine when in the limited studies shown they have been effective, and over decades of use they have proven to be safe?
Why did the CDC discourage regular disinfecting of common areas once the vaccines rolled out?
Are you aware that around 40% of the CDC's budget comes from user fees including big pharma?
Why do American pay more for prescriptions drugs than any other nation, especially considering that many of those drugs are made possible due to government funding of research grants? Are you aware that Big Pharma spent $263 million on lobbying last year?
Who gains from Covid Lockdowns? Are you aware that over 200,000 "Extra" small businesses closed permanently last year (extra meaning additional to regular closures that occur annually)? Are you aware that during Covid, Amazon and WalMart had record breaking years?
Are you aware that the more money politicians spend, the more power they have (The U.S. government is the largest single customer in the world). Are you aware that the U.S. Government spent $5 Trillion in stimulus for Covid?
Donald Trump was hated by the Media and D.C., do you think he would have lost the election if not for Covid and the shutdowns? If Trump is in the fake stimulus bill never passes, the BBB bill wouldn't exist. Those to bills total over $5 trillion in new spending, there are a lot of parties that stand to make a big chunk of those funds.
Are you aware that there are less Americans in the workforce than their were pre-covid, despite the population growing and more people entering potentially entering the job market? Are you aware that many more people are dependent on the government than pre-covid including via medicare expansion? Are you not cognizant of the fact that having more people dependent on government makes politicians more powerful, particularly the party that is constantly offering more "free stuff"?
So who stands to gain from more lockdowns? The answer is obvious, and it is not the American People.
You don't think D.C. can be that malicious? Who allowed China to enter the WTO? Who allows China to steal billions annually in IP and decimate American Manufacturing?
Who allowed an unlimited flow of illegals to cross the border, increasing the labor force supply and depressing wages for the last 2 decades?
There are obvious answers, if you open your eyes.
Wow! Feel better now?
DeleteIf you were willing to accept that Trump is just as much a part of the government as the rest of them, you would be slightly more credible. Now you're just a party hack.
I hope by now everyone realizes this is never going to end. Raise in Kolel checks, raise in Moros, raise in salaries, raise in expenses, raise in prices Rais kolel checks again raise Moros again raise in rent raise food prices raise auto raise.....
ReplyDeleteSome things have remained terribly stagnant for too long
DeleteThe schools literally don't have proper coverage for their teachers. Its an embarrassment for klal Yisrael that salaries in girls schools are so low.
It will end when large numbers of Frum Yidden. Move out of these super expensive democratic states like NY and NJ where their vote does not effect national elections
ReplyDeleteInstead you can have tens of thousands of Frum Yidden moving to States like Pennsylvania Georgia and Arizona where houses cost $300,000 with large properties and lower Taxes and lots of room to grow and spread out and you can be the swing vote that turns these States over to the Republican Candidates running for president
Um the reason houses are so expensive is BECAUSE there are thousands of yidden moving here not because it’s a democratic state🙄
ReplyDeleteIt's both, especially mitzad property taxes.
DeleteTime for us to move to Eretz Yisroel
ReplyDeleteProperty taxes is high but we’re not talking about that, we’re talking about the crazy house prices today no shaychus property taxes.
ReplyDeleteAnd no bussing chanukah, no minyan bus, and no bus to out of town Jackson.
ReplyDeleteAnd no shuls in WG. Kids wait by the windows for their father to come home from shul.
ReplyDeleteThe reason for the low vaccination rates in Lakewood is because there are many doctors who are telling people not to vaccinate. Let them speak to the doctors, not the public. They will change the tide, not ads in newspapers.
ReplyDeleteBut these newspapers and websites don't care. They make money through those ads, and they convince the DOH to use their useless medium. Follow the money............
