Things really have been getting back to something closer to normal. After all we had endured for nearly three years, we began to experience life in a manner that approximates what our previous existence had been.
And yet, the Forces-That-Be have considerable desire to build upon all they perpetrated with the Covid-19 pandemic. A few examples that arose during the last week or so:
- Pediatric-related organizations are calling for the declaration of a national emergency over the flu and RSV;
- The Lancet Commission is calling for greater centralized control to deal with public health issues and less individual freedom;
- The G20 meeting of world leaders was beguiled by the head of the World Economic Forum, , Klaus Schwab, and the result was a united call by the leaders assembled to push for a vaccine passport for international travel; and
- After having pulled off its expedited authorization of the Covid vaccine, Pfizer is pushing for a similar authorization for a new vaccine against RSV to be given to pregnant women, ostensibly to protect children.
We need a vaccine against idiocy.
I think the American public’s backbone has been steeled against the examples of insane policy proposals that you list and that there will be a significant backlash if they are tried.
“Resistance to oppression is second nature.”

I hope so, Fred.
