Epstein Covid

Open Thread Image_0.jpg
The talking heads on the MSM evening news propaganda programs are describing the new Covid strain spreading across the nation as the "Cicada Covid" variant because it first mutated "way back in 2024".
Like that was a long time ago. It was barely a year and a half ago.
Cicadas go dormant for seventeen years before emerging for a few short days of mating. And then they lay eggs that wind up in the soil where they live off the roots of trees. And then the adults die.
Cicadas don't hurt anyone.
Covid, whether you believe is a virulent new virus or an especially bad flu, still kills many people. Especially older health compromised adults and the very young. And it spreads for years, not days, unlike the cicadas.
And it keeps coming back, like pedophiles' and perverts.
Witch (H/T Trump) is why I think it should be called the Epstein Covid Variant.
Because it all flourishes underground where nobody can see it.
There, a new narrative. Your welcome.
Thread is open.

Thinking most of us here are immune to
that particular strain by now. Liberal doses
of truth interspersed with dashes of humor
is the antidote. Hard to take another panic
attack seriously. Doesn't stop them from trying.

Thanks for posting today!

Hope the weather there has warmed up.
Pleasant here with alternating days of sun/rain. We do have a cloud burster coming today, but it will be brief.
Funny how all my MAGA friends and acquaintances have lately grown silent.
Funny that.
Thanks for stopping by.

You remind me of a bit of Covid lore that is essentially nomenclature based but arguably meaningful.
COVID-19 is the disease Corona Virus Disease 2019, That's the disease, obviously, and it is caused by a virus originally provisionally named 2019 novel coronavirus. Novel as in new or newly discovered. So far that tells us it is a virus (not a bacteria) and specifically a corona virus, a group of viri that includes the common cold. This bit of data may cast some illumination on the presumed likelihood of a truly efficacious vaccine, you know, like the one for the common cold,

OK, that provisional name was replaced by "SARS‑CoV‑2": Sudden Acute Respiratory Syndrome - CoronaVirus -2. There is a crapload of invormation on this item/topic/phrase/whatever at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SARS-CoV-2. What caught my attention is that this is named, in part, Syndrome Remember, Covid is names Disease

Here is a concise statement of the difference between a syndrome and a disease from some ai built into the chromium search engine:

A syndrome is a collection of symptoms and signs that "run together" or occur concurrently without a confirmed, singular cause. A disease is a distinct pathological process with a known cause, predictable course, and identifiable symptoms. While diseases focus on underlying causes, syndromes are defined by observable patterns of symptoms.

Zo, Covid-19 went from being a disease to being a syndrome. Verrrry interesting, as they say. Nonetheless, whatever it is, it is some sort of cousin of the common cold.

be well and have a good one

I think it's all narrative spinning. Kind of like Raum Emanuel's "Don't let a good catastrophe go to waste", change the framing of it to swing perception of it to fit your agenda.
Cicada was a crappy narrative, but what were they trying to achieve?
Anyway, I hope I just threw a wrench in their works.
Have a good day.

this is why, when prompted by my provider to get the latest
flew shot, I always politely decline. It all seems like mad
science after a spell. The docs are guided by pharma to
sell product, which 50/50 doesn't work. We are all just lab
rats afterall. Paying rats at that! Funding the next experiment.

in late October (as usual) and in early January got a bad case of the flu (from the annual family xmas dinner).
Don't really know if that was a strain they missed, or an early onset of the Epstein Covid strain.
Probably will never know. I survived, anyway.
Thanks for the post.

variants out there so they guess the most likely 2 or 3 for that year and concoct a cocktail for those 2 or 3. If you get one of them, bueno, if not, you get sick.

this year so far. And Kaiser Permanente "recommends" wearing a mask.

I took the last Big Scare seriously while remaining skeptical as I wore my mask in public. I did not fall for the vax story, but almost everybody I know did get jabbed. I did not immediately dismiss the new version of this story, but 6 years of Sleepy Joe and The Orange Fart Cloud with his evil war have expunged all gullibility from my consciousness.

Makes sense. If this shipment is going to be used
by a regime that seems to want harm them, why let
them thru? Just sit on your anchor until they sort
things out. Economic damage is the result of siding
with USrael writ large at this point.

Epstein Covid! Underground and perverted!
We should expect a virus-turned-bioweapon, developed as a weapon of war by the Dept. of War, to be pretty damn murderous.
I recently had a sinus infection due to pollen overwhelming me, so I saw my dr. I was asked about every vaccine around: Did I get it? Do I want one? No. No. To speed things up, as soon as the nurse started her question, I said "no no".
Trump's ballroom construction was halted by injunction on the grounds he needs congressional approval for the plans. Right now, that is the msm's headline news of maximum importance. I sure miss Cronkite.
Thanks for the OT, friend!

has more characteristics of a religion than an effective disease preventative. There is an abundance of epidemiological evidence that it causes more harm than good, in addition to being piss poor as a preventative. The “fully vaccinated” have beat up their immune system to the point that the immune system can switch to learning to tolerate the pathogen they are designed to protect you from. As if that wasn’t bad enough, the greater the number of mRNA jabs one has taken, the more likely you are to join the growing number of so called ‘excess deaths’ due to the growing numbers of aggressive cancers.

We should expect a virus-turned-bioweapon, developed as a weapon of war by the Dept. of War, to be pretty damn murderous.

Indeed.
