Imagine if Obama, Kamala, or Biden survived two assassination attempts and the media not publicly destroying the reputation of everyone who issued even the most mild criticism of them and then just dropping the story completely.

Yeah, I cannot either.

The "scientist" - Covid pandemic is over.

The "government" - No, Covid is not over.

The "scientist" - Uh yeah. I kinda misspoke. Do not misinterpret.

I thought we couldnt trust the courts because they are not scientists. Now we cant trust the scientists because they are not politicians. But we cant trust politicians because we know they lie. And I cant trust myself because they told me to listen to the science. Its all so confusing but good thing the Biden admin is creating a Ministry of Truth to set me straight!

The United States passes 1 Million Covid-19 "deaths."

Joe Biden in 2020 - "Anyone whos responsible for not taking control, in fact not saying, I take no responsibility initially. Anyone whos responsible for that many deaths should not remain as President of the United States of America."



"Im not going to shut down the country, Im going to shut down the virus!"

Yes, that's a pretty bold, and bald, accusation, just sitting there unsupported.  Maybe I can help here. You have to wait patiently for some action by Biden, even a sensible one: for example, banning travel to the US from Spain and Portugal.  Then see if he lolls around without undertaking any further anti-pandemic actions, playing golf--oh no, he doesn't play golf, say playing with his dogs, cooing and crowing that we're rounding the curve, the problem will go away with warmer weather, it'll be a miracle, etc.   If he keeps that up for seven weeks or so, while travelers from all the rest of the world pour into the US carrying the virus with them, raising the infection rate to catastrophic heights, then it would be justifiable to assign a huge amount of responsibility to Biden.  Try it if you get a chance.

Speaking as an outsider to the US, the hyper-partisan nature of the politics of this is quite ridiculous.

Trump was supposedly responsible for 400,000 deaths, all by himself. Biden, with vaccines and better treatments, has had over 600,000 deaths and it is anyone's fault but his. Pick whatever scapegoat you want, the unvaccinated, the state Governors etc, at some point in time Americans will have to wake up to the reality that this adminsitration is not taking responsibility for pretty much anything.

I know I will be labelled a 'Trump lover' or a right-wing advocate for saying that, but these days anyone sensible and centre leaning has a view that one side or other does not like (in my experience you get far more of this on the left) you get attacked.

I'm not saying Trump was a good President, far from it, but given the expectations from both him and Joe Biden (with his 40-odd years in the senate), you would have expected Biden to be streets ahead of what Trump did, but I sure don't see it. I don't think Biden is helped by a VP who obviously does not like him, and is more than likely walking a tightrope between a lot of factions within the Democrat part, trying to please them all.

As someone who works in the medical field (hospital lab), Covid has been pretty much over for a while now, and it is the politicians that are really keeping it going. With every cycle it mutates to something less deadly, much like the 'Spanish' 'flu did back in the early part of the 20th century. So many people at my work have had it, no-one has been seriously ill, at worst it was like a mild 'flu, yet it caused havoc because people had to isolate and shifts had to be covered.

The local Primary school has had similar waves, with no-one seriously ill, yet they are still pushing for children to be vaccinated.

I am vaccinated, but I don't think I will be getting any more boosters. This thing isn't going away and from now on, natural immunity is the better way to go.

Anyone remember when Bill Gates was bummed out that Omicron provided greater immunity than the vaccine?
