Bumbling and stumbling is what we flawed humans do. During WWII, Admiral William Halsey sailed his fleet into a typhoon. In 1979, the Three Mile Island nuclear reactor melted down largely because of, apparently, poorly trained plant operators. In 1999, NASA lost its $125 million Mars Climate Orbiter due to a metric-Imperial system mix-up.
But the COVID-19 response is assuredly the greatest blunder in American history. This is especially true since, a bit like Halsey having engaged the typhoon repeatedly to see if he could get even, our “health” authorities never make the same mistake twice.
They make it five or six times, just to be sure.
(Joke hat tip: Senator John Kennedy, R-La.)
The reality is that despite the coronavirus response’s abject failure, Dr. Anthony Fauci and his fellow travelers refuse to change course. They just love immersion in the typhoon, despite their policy ship having already sailed — and sunk.
Fox News host Tucker Carlson took stock of the situation Monday evening, stating:
Well, look at the numbers compared to 2019. Americans now are poorer, more isolated, more physically unhealthy, more fearful, and sadder than they have been in generations, maybe ever. Depression has skyrocketed. Church attendance has dropped in half. Cancer deaths are up dramatically; so is obesity, hypertension, diabetes, strokes among young people, suicide, drug ODs. You name it, it’s up — these, in addition to countless other serious social pathologies.
People are not having children, for example. Maybe most depressingly, a new study from researchers at Brown finds that children, kids born during the pandemic have, “significantly reduced verbal motor and overall cognitive performance” — an entire generation slower [I reported on this yesterday].
… All of these are legitimate public health crises, but you never hear about them because the attention of our leaders is focused on COVID and particularly on the COVID vaccines. More vaccines, Joe Biden has told us repeatedly, are the answer, really the only answer. By and large, Americans have followed Biden’s lead.… As of tonight, about 82% of the entire adult population of the United States has received a COVID shot. In total, more than 232 million Americans have been vaccinated as the largest inoculation campaign in our history.
In other words, the “vaccines,” which are actually genetic-therapy agents (GTAs), just aren’t that effective. Note here that University of Missouri Health Care wrote September of last year, “Experts estimate that herd immunity would require around 80-90% of the population to have COVID-19 immunity, either through prior infection or vaccination.”
Well, with 82 percent of Americans having had at least one shot and approximately 150 million estimated SARS-CoV-2 infections, if we were going to achieve all-variant-encompassing herd immunity, we already would have.
Returning to Carlson, he continued:
In fact, more Americans have received the COVID vaccine than have a job or own a car or speak English as a first language. Effectively, pretty much everybody has had the shot….
So what are the results of this? Let’s see: More Americans have died from COVID in 2021 than died in 2020, before there was a shot. There were 362,000 deaths from COVID last year. So far this year, there have been 414,000 deaths.… So we gave up everything to fight COVID — we gave up our economy, our culture, our health. We literally stopped educating our own children. We did all of this in order to lower COVID deaths. And yet COVID deaths went up anyway, and they went up dramatically.
So … it looks like the greatest public policy failure of all time. How does Joe Biden explain that? What does Tony Fauci say about it or Rochelle Walensky?
Well, nothing. Not a word. No one in charge has even acknowledged the magnitude of the failure.

They won’t, either. As I pointed out at least as early as last April, imagine that establishment politicians, bureaucrats, and other public figures admitted they hobbled the economy, destroyed livelihoods, caused COVID mortality (by demonizing treatment protocols; e.g. ivermectin) and unintended-consequence, lockdown-associated death — all for nothing. That their careers would be over could be the least of the consequences. Call it the Zen of Being Wrong, but they’re one with their error and have an incentive to keep us in our hole and continue digging.
The reality is that as with influenza, which is continually present because it ever mutates, China virus variants will materialize like sparks off a wheel. Omicron is just the latest in the COVID con.
This was always knowable — and known. Last February, the Yale School of Public Health’s Dr. James Hamblin wrote in the liberal Atlantic that “vaccine” development would occur “far too late to make a difference for the current outbreak” and that the SARS-CoV-2 “viral class is likely to mutate.”
If he knew, Fauci & Co. also had to know — or should have. Quite damnably, maybe they didn’t. After all, ex-Coronavirus Task Force member Dr. Scott Atlas, who worked with Fauci and his crew, recently revealed that they didn’t know the China virus data and didn’t care to. Whatever the explanation, they meet that apocryphal definition of insanity: doing the same thing over and over again while expecting a different result.
The China virus is apparently, and hopefully, becoming less virulent with every mutation. There are treatment protocols for it, too, which one uncompromised expert said could have saved 85 percent of the COVID victims if adopted early on.
We need to stop letting our insane, Munchausen by proxy-perpetrating Captain Queegs continually sail us into their typhoon of deception. Viruses can be managed, and are an unavoidable part of life. Governance by a narcissistic, incompetent, adulation-seeking doctor who would be king doesn’t have to be.
