The Recovery Must Begin Now

Commentary

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have been the ones who guided us through the terrible pandemic. This bureaucracy’s influence ruined communities, families, schools and markets. Trust in the government, media and other institutions such as Big Tech was destroyed. Each person has their own story, some of which are deeply sad.

It was the worst public-health crisis in human history, but it had a global impact. It also had a profound impact on all aspects of economics, education and religion. This is absurd to think that we can ignore it. The anger over what has happened is growing.

I was at the New York City jazz club over the weekend. In passing, the performer stated that Zoom was much preferable to this concert. His voice was bitter. His voice was bitter and the audience cheered him to the roof. This is amazing considering that the club has been open continuously for decades. It was closed by government for several months, if not for a whole year. It was open only to vaccinated people, and they were required to wear masks even then.

This all took place right here, in the Land of the Free! Remarkable. Outrageous.

Now the CDC is flipping in the opposite direction . They say that life can return to normal. Because vaccines are leaking and natural immunity exists, there is no need to discriminate against those who have not been vaccinated. Only symptomatic patients are eligible for testing. It is important to not disrupt the community and instead focus on cases that have “medically relevant” consequences.

Good. It is a pity that this statement was not made by the CDC two and a half years ago. This fiasco was ruled out by old-fashioned endemicity. This was the end result of everything government could do. Without the destruction, we could have reached this point. This is the only way it can be spun except for the Great Barrington Declaration by the CDC.

In some ways, the most important words in this article are that COVID continues to circulate worldwide. It will be accessible to most people, regardless of what. The quadruple-vaxxed CEO at Pfizer was afflicted with COVID. One can only hope his immune system remains strong enough to adapt. It was obvious from the start that COVID would continue to spread worldwide, as it does with other viruses.

I was curious about what the impact would be on the general public’s opinion when I first saw the announcement. Is it possible for the subject to disappear completely? Is it possible to let this all go and get back to normal? Based on the events of these last days, that’s not what I believe. It’s quite the contrary. The CDC basically confirmed the statements of dissidents, causing more anger than ever.

There’s another.

There was another factor. The CDC attempted to reverse its absurd policies in a covert manner. There were no errors or wrongdoings. Anthony Fauci, a celebrity who boasted about his genius and his devotion to science and integrity was also on the scene. His influence is said to have led to students being drawn to science. The Fauci Effect he refers to it .

This is a big mistake. This only inflames the public’s opinion. It isn’t about making bureaucrats eat humble food. This approach comes with a greater cost. Unless we hear from the CDC, or someone else in high places, it is not possible to implement policies that will help recovery.

If you’re watching Congress right now, it is the exact opposite. Congress has been enacting new regulations to punish small businesses for their losses. They also have a slew of tax collectors ready to eat more of the substance. They have come to think that a protest at the Capitol is better than two-and-a-half years of hell-stricken liberty, prosperity and the good life. This is an utterly absurd, massive diversionary tactic. It is both transparently and wildly incongruent with the real problems facing this country.

Many studies were conducted during the pandemic to compare the effects of isolation and symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress disorder. This is exactly where America is right now, all disoriented and confused, angry at the elites, crying for justice, and stunned. These are the priorities, but government pretends that all is well. The more the government spends and taxes more trillions of dollars more, the greater the public’s anger.

The most important effect is economics. Economic growth is seriously impacted. Take a look at the labor market: Many enterprises are unable to open long hours due to a lack of employees. Shortages at grocery stores are a common occurrence. Gas prices remain high in comparison to pre-pandemic years. The labor participation rate is low. It is very difficult to invest in the current landscape, and small businesses are worried about what lies ahead.

The Federal Reserve has created $6.3 trillion of hot money as part of its pandemic response. This new money must become an epidemic in the form price rises, just like a virus. It has been slipping from one sector to the next for a year, hitting first food, then fuel, then food again, and finally electricity and housing. The virus is similar in that it’s difficult to know where and for how long. Even though there are rising financials today, but they do not appear in the Consumer Price Index. No one can be certain that a bull market will continue without fundamentals.

Humankind is going to be the ones paying for this disaster for the next ten years or more. The CDC and all governments around the globe took on a deadly respiratory virus, and have made the situation worse by trying to prevent it.

This is the most glaring example of failure by government in my lifetime. Is it really possible to not notice these things? Are we expected to take away lessons from this? Even if Congress pretends not to be aware, there is no way to avoid it. For a whole generation, the pandemic has been the defining moment in human history. It should encourage a greater humility in humankind and an increased scepticism towards the arrogance displayed by elites.

Maybe that is premature, but we can expect it to come. There are many people who need answers. A new paradigm is needed that rejects all the destruction theories of recent years. A new paradigm is needed that promotes freedom and respects human rights.
