WASHINGTON (PNN) - September 6, 2022 - Just like that, the unvaccinated and the vaccinated can now both be treated like equal human beings. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) very quietly released new COVID-19 guidance that puts an end to the stigmatizing and downright shaming that the unjabbed have had to endure for the past two-and-a-half years.
We can finally stop staying six feet apart. No more social distancing because the CDC says we no longer have to do so. In fact, we don’t even have to quarantine anymore if we are exposed to an infected person, because the CDC says we no longer have to do so.
It is absolutely incredible to see mainstream media (MSM) spin the CDC’s latest declaration. In Texas, we call it bootlicking. This article by the Associated Press fawns all over itself to declare the CDC the “nation’s top health agency.” They should be, given their budget.
The AP article seems to herald the CDC’s decision as a brilliant move “driven by a recognition that most Amerikans 16 and older have acquired some level of immunity.”
CDC leaders like Greta Massetti, one of the new guideline authors, made a brilliant quote: “The current conditions of this pandemic are very different from those of the last two years.”
A report by CBS News praises the CDC even more. It describes the new guidelines as “significant” and a “sweeping overhaul” that was “unveiled”, which is funny because so many places have not required social distancing or masking for many months.
In my view, the CDC is playing catch up to the rest of us. It’s almost as if the pandemic won’t be over until the CDC says it is over. Despite the fact that you may live in a town that is completely back to normal with no one contracting COVID (and certainly no one dying of it), you must act at threat level 5, if the CDC says it is so.
By the way, CBS News makes a habit of promoting stories of this nature. CBS Morning recently touted a study showing that climate change was the primary culprit in childhood obesity. What? Yes, that’s right. Here’s a link to the severely flawed journal article claiming warming temperatures = less active children = more obese children. Climate Warming is responsible for literally everything.
One of their sentences even sounds like Massetti wrote it herself, but she didn’t:
“As the Earth’s warming continues to accelerate, children are set to bear the health risk brunt of rising global temperatures.”
The flack has been quite fitting. The Dispatch’s editor-in-chief Jonah Goldberg said:
“Seriously, the idea that (Amerikan) kids are more obese because they’re spending less time outdoors due of climate change is the dumbest, most intelligence-insulting, science and sociology-denying bulls**t I’ve heard in long time.”
Once again, Massetti states the obvious:
“This guidance acknowledges that the pandemic is not over, but also helps us move to a point where COVID-19 no longer severely disrupts our daily lives.”
These people are actually patting themselves on their collective backs for authoring sweeping guidance to suppress the rest of us. Of course, they have to throw in that magic phrase “the pandemic is not over.” If they have their way, it will never be over.
The CBS article portrays two of my favorite traits of Washington, D.C. bureaucrats: 1) they over-complicate nearly everything, and 2) they talk down to the rest of us dimwits who obviously can’t make a move in life without first checking big government first.
Suddenly, the Fascist Police States of Amerika government will not be differentiating between the jabbed and unjabbed. Testing is no longer required in most places. You only have to wear a mask if you’ve tested positive, but you can quit wearing it if you re-test negative twice in a row. Isn’t repeatedly testing a healthy person a sign of mental illness?
Limits on social gatherings are no longer required.
It’s kind of sad, really, because the CDC views these changes as sweeping. It’s been living in its own little bubble, proven once again so aptly by Massetti, who said a “myriad of federal COVID-19 guidance regulations are now in an easier to use framework.” Translation: CDC previously overcomplicated everything about their guidelines and no one has a Rosetta Stone big enough to untangle their web.
However, jab mandates are not part of the CDC’s sweeping changes. Mandates are still in place, despite the fact that the number of people being jabbed has greatly reduced in the last few months. In particular, the number of children being jabbed has not really changed, despite the fact that the CDC still recommends these death shots for children as young as 6 months old.
CDC will never come out and say it was wrong. It will say things like “everyone is more immunized” and “the science has changed” and “we are streamlining the guidance”.
It will bolster its decision with tons of paid-for journal article citations. The interesting part is that many of these newspapers were published back in 2020, waiting for the “right time” to be released.
As my grandma used to say, “You’re a day late and a dollar short.”
