Anyone else hearing about another covid wave?
posted 2 years ago by Smith1980 2 years ago by Smith1980 +50 / -0

I know Infowars predicted they will try to really push the fear porn next month. I’m seeing some chatter about a new variant. I’d like to think people won’t give into hysteria but I doubt that is possible.

Only from faggot lefties who use cloth masks as their binky blanket.

I don’t see often but there are still people wearing masks. Reminds me of the self righteous morons who acted like they were saving the world

You have to understand, that's the most important and meaningful they have ever felt in their entire lives. For once in the miserable, mundane, and empty track of their existence they were told that they could do great good and help fight against something terrible and deadly with the simple act of wearing a little diaper on their face. It was a badge of righteousness and honor to their cause.

It was the most brilliant of psyops to target the lowest intelligence, most obedient, easily controlled portions of the populace and be confident it would be self-perpetuating as each idiot harassed another 5 normies in public about it. "Befehl ist Befehl" is alive and well in the modern day.

if any, new covid wave would """start""" in earnest september 2024, enough time to give the plebs freedom while still locking down for elections.

they'd be retarded to go this route though. if I was a completely evil oligarchy, I would do a targeted release of anthrax that's bioengineered so that it will dissipate after a few days. I would tell the plebs that this was a new flu variant that has "no end in sight". I would also make sure the cameras are rolling in the places where the targeted release would happen to get as much footage of real people dying as possible. I would explicitly not try to pass it off as covid because that's old news by now.

with this method I could wipe out significant populations of dissidents while getting the plebeians to fall in line.

And a race incident the media will stir up. You know, something that should be a local story and no more like Floyd.

Talking to my friends in other countries and my own experiences, it's hard to see who would fall for a 'there's a new variant, lock yourself inside your homes and take this injection'

There are asians still wearing masks in the west but two factors mean hard to say if they'd comply:

  1. Been a part of their culture for decades now so probably not related to covid

  2. They are an extreme minority of asians at large

I think a lot of people have gotten numb to it and those that fell fir getting a jab regardless of circumstances, have regretted it privately or openly that they won't do it again. If they try to do it then it'll be a misstep and result in huge backlash either openly or people saying fuck off and not complying.

I admire your optimism, but as I said in another comment, I have family that's still fully wrapped up in this shit. I also live in a fairly liberal area, and can tell you full well there are plenty of people ready to jump back onboard and freak the everloving fuck out over Pandemic 2: Electric Boogaloo.

If the pull the strings, plenty of people will dance.

That's a bad situation to be in as my family went opposite, I sent early warnings to them all, a few listed, many didn't. After it all though, they pretty much listen 80% of the time now, if I told them Biden finally hit the nukes they'd be packed up and in the wilderness out the blast range in minutes.

There are going to be people that dance, but there seems to be this...miasma atmosphere where if they tried to do the same thing that they did in 2020, majority around them is going to go 'wtf are you doing, fuck off with that Karen shit!'

The divides in religion, race and politics have been so deepened now that you can't do a 'national unity' of why we should all comply that the majority can get behind. This time if they do it, it'll be an 'everyone for themselves' and anyone complying will be easy targets for those that don't.

Thankfully, the family I'm closest to is based. The family I'm not as close to is either neutral or believes the narrative. But, yeah, I was disappointed to learn that someone I hadn't been in touch with in a while (more accurately the inverse, they weren't in touch with me) is still believing this nonsense. Annoying, but not that surprising. Oh well.

A hospital in New York is already mandating masks again.

The entire MSM is already fearmongering over new variants and unexplained deaths.

They're gearing us up to be locked down and muzzled up again to get mail in ballots ready for next year, so it's up to us to expose their plan and encourage everyone we can to follow no medical mandates and vocalize the intent to not comply.

So far only here. I can't see it working. I had to go to an actual work meeting last week, and even the one guy left with a mask previously had moved on. What friends I had that bought in all quit in 2021. If they wanted the first virus to be effective for future scares, it needed to actually kill some people. I mean how far do you have to stretch to find someone who really died from Covid?

If it's a visual search, not far. On account of how large they are were.

I've started seeing some news mumbling about a dreaded new variant but they're not going hardcore yet. I've seen a small but noticeable increase in masks at the grocery store this month too, though it's still just old people wearing them.

Nothing in person. There is now way they'd try it again this year, unless elections like the Kentucky State elections are super important. Think for September 2024.

Supposedly they're already announcing fall lock-downs in the UK.

Yeah, it seems they're pushing it again, a bit. New variants and all that, as you said.

As to whether or not people will give in to the hysteria this time around...absolutely they will. Not all the people who did last time, but plenty still will. There's still people who talk about Covid. There's still people wearing masks. There's still people fucking testing and quarantining. Heck, I have family I hadn't talked to in ages, who are still doing all those things. Blew my mind.

Also, just look at how worked up people get about any issue, and realize they're just Current Thingers; climate change, guns, abortion. All those pet issues. People who still freak out about climate change especially, are vulnerable to also freaking out about the Dread Pandemic.

Long story short...depressingly, yes, a bunch of people will get fully back on board the Insanity Express. Hell, wouldn't be surprised if some people take it more seriously this time around. A smaller number of people overall, I believe, but they may be even more fanatical this time around.

I have friends already talking about how Covid is actually that cold you caught and you should feel scared. There are articles posted and pictures with masks already.

Yes.

The Canadian & British MSM in particular are raising scares over abnormal death counts and how they don't know why it's happening.

It's obviously because of the COVID shots and Canada's "voluntary" euthanasia program.

The WHO AND CDC are already monitoring new variants; except that too is cover for the shot deaths.

It's up to us to tell as many people we can about these stories and debunk them before they try the 2020-21 tyranny all over again.

I think they're just generally issuing concerns over making sure medical (especially hospital) establishments don't get "overrun" as we enter the standard fall-winter, school-year, disease heavier phase of the year.

This is of course overemphasized because of the usual NPC reasons, and excessively exaggerated by the media.

I don't think they'll actually push for real lockdowns. They can't even get the media or people in general to pay attention to new variants anymore.
