The Biden White House claims that 100 million people could be infected with the Coronavirus this fall and winter. ABC News. That claim is despite the fact that 70% of Americans over the age of five have been fully vaccinated and 60% of Americans have natural antibodies against the Coronavirus. If the claim happens that would mean 30% of all Americans could be infected. Why would this happen? Scientists claim that both the vaccines and natural antibodies are not effective against new strains of the virus. There would also be more infections as people move inside.
My Comment:
My gut tells me that this a cynical attempt at the Biden White House to justify mail in voting, which allows for easy voter fraud and it about the only hope for the Democrats in the fall. I don't think they believe that this will happen but will act like they will regardless.
It's amazing that even with the obvious electoral advantage the Democrats will gain from this, that they are still pushing the Coronavirus. Nobody in the real world cares anymore. For most Americans the Coronavirus pandemic died after the Omicron variant became dominant. I know for me personally, I haven't even thought of the Coronavirus outside of work, where some restrictions remain beyond all logic.
I do like that the media finally admitted that the vaccines are not effective against the current strains of the virus. The vaccines were made for the original Wuhan strain of the virus which has been extinct in the wild for years now. Even the Omicron variant has faded into the background as no longer that relevant as most people are immunized to it. The big vaccine companies are trying to develop new vaccines but the development cycle is too long, by the time they release anything the strain will no longer be around.
Plus, people are no longer interested in getting vaccinated. When the original strains were around that actually occasionally killed people there was a motivation to actually get vaccinated, despite the risks posed by these vaccines. It's a deal I took at the time, but not one I would take now.
Why? The new variants of the virus are nowhere near as dangerous as the Wuhan strain. Very few people die from it and those that do are usually extremely ill or old. As I predicted when the outbreak started the virus has transformed to a virus that spreads more easily but is a lot less deadly. This is what happened with the Russian Flu back in the day, a Coronavirus that eventually evolved into a common cold virus. Right now the dominant strains of the virus are somewhere between a bad cold and a weak flu in terms of severity.
With the virus well on its way to becoming a common cold virus, will we see a wave of infections in the fall? Probably. Will it be 100 million people? I doubt it. We never got that in any of our previous waves so it would be unprecedented.
Even then why should we even care at this point? We don't shut down the world for the seasonal flu and at this point the flu is probably the more dangerous virus. Most people have some degree of protection against the virus and if they get infected they won't show any symptoms at all. Why should we deal with any of these restrictions? It makes no sense.
But again, I think this has way more to do with the ambitions of the Biden administration. They loved the restrictions, not so much because they help people but because they humiliate them and help in the elections. Biden never would have had any chance at the White House at all if it wasn't for mail in voting and they know that 2022 is almost a lost cause. Expect more of this hysteria from the White House as the 2022 midterms near.
