Meanwhile, Sweden never locked down, never masked up, has no vax mandate, has almost no cases of coof, and is about to remove the last of their few measures by allowing stadiums to resume full capacity on monday, which is a complete return to normal.
Yup!
They're ranked 40th and are doing fantastically.
One of the crazier anomalies is Mongolia. Look into their Covid cases through all of this and then look at what happened immediately after they began vaccination.
They went from almost zero cases to it looking like a plague swept over them.
Hell, Israel is on its fourth shot now, with one of the highest vaccination rates in the world, and they're doing the absolute worst. Then we get news in the last 24 hours that Biden is using the CDC to completely bypass the FDA and push for mandatory requirements for a third booster. This shit is purely about money and power. They don't give a single shit about anyone.
Biden has been hyping up his "dark winter" bullshit once again and he'll be damned if he doesn't get it one way or another. If we go into a third round of boosters this coming winter the numbers will skyrocket.
If the trend for adverse effects continue in a linear pattern as it seems possible they might we'll also see huge amounts of deaths that they'll likely attribute to Covid.
These people are evil as hell, man.
Honestly? I think here in the US its all going to become yet another regional thing. The Blue States will stay locked down, the Red States will be open and telling the Feds "Piss Off!"
I remember going on a roadtrip with my family back over the summer. We went from out home in Kansas, went up through Nebraska to South Dakota (to see the Badlands, Mt. Rushmore, and the Black Hills), then went to Cheyenne, WY (I wanted to see the UP museum and railyard), then finished out as a few days at Estes Park, CO (original plan was to go hiking in the Rockies, then it snowed 2 feet the day after we got there. Go figure.)
As we were going through most of the country, we very quickly learned one thing: Nobody cared. In SD, the only place we wore a mask was at Mt. Rushmore because it was federal land, and once we realize the park rangers had no damns to give, we took them off. And we went to plenty of places where they had the "wear a mask" sign on the door, but no one, not even employees, were wearing them.
When we went to WY, they gave even less of a damn. There were some smaller towns we went to that they didnt even bother putting up the fake sign. We even began to forget there was Covid going on.
Then we got to Colorado. Rural Colorado? Not too terribly different from the rest of where we had been. Estes Park itself? Mask everywhere, stores freaked out if you didnt have a mask on, and even when we were walking down the street some people gave us dirty looks for not wearing a mask...OUTDOORS! Although once we went to the Rockies it went right back to "Nobody Cares".
It really did a good job of showing me that, for a large chunk of the population, this stopped being about a potential illness a long time ago, and became nothing but a political position, and they refuse to back down.

They did. Lost their nerve around December 2020.
