Which Will It Be? The "New Normal" or A Return To Normal?

Everyone was told that if they just get the vaccine, things will return to normal. I didn't believe it then, and I don't believe it now. Things went way too far -- way too fast, for this not to be a giant permanent power grab.

Let's take a look at what Cathy Hochul is saying in New York.

The updated vaccine, necessary due to waning immunity and mutated variants, was reformulated and developed in recent months following the FDA decision to target a subvariant of Omicron, called XBB.1.5. According to CDC, more than 90% of the COVID viruses circulating are closely related to that strain, with tests showing the updated vaccine effective at increasing immunity to a more recent variant, called BA.2.86.

Isn't that the same language that was used for the first round of shots, and the boosters?

“The vaccine has always been the best way to protect yourself and your community against COVID-19, and this updated vaccine addresses newer strains of the virus that are currently circulating,” Governor Hochul said. “As we enter the Fall season, when respiratory viruses circulate, it is vital that New Yorkers consider getting this updated vaccine to protect themselves from this still dangerous virus.”

We know that the vaccines don't protect other people from infection. They don't "stop the spread." Why are they still parroting this? Even USA Today underhandedly says that this is not true.

Susan Hassig, an epidemiologist at Tulane University School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine, similarly said that vaccines protect vaccinated individuals by greatly reducing their risk of infection, illness and death. That individual vaccination then protects the broader community by making the vaccinated person less likely to become a host.

“This benefit is most evident when the majority of persons in a community are vaccinated,” Hassig said. "The virus, if introduced, has nowhere to go, and dies out. Cannot spread, cannot mutate.”

You have to pay close attention to what is said here. Susan Hassig didn't mention the COVID-19 vaccines, she said, "vaccines" as in traditional vaccines. She said what has been said for the past 80+ years. Besides, we still have variants all over the place, and it is well known that there is no way to eradicate a respiratory virus through vaccination. Not to mention there are multiple animal vectors. Animals that are claimed to get SARS-CoV-2 infections. Are we going to vaccinate every animal that they claim can carry SARS-CoV-2?

The the CDC says, "The risk of animals spreading COVID-19 to people is considered low."

Risk of animals spreading SARS-CoV-2 to people

The risk of animals spreading COVID-19 to people is considered low.

There is no evidence that animals play a significant role in spreading SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, to people. There have been a few reports of infected mammalian animals spreading the virus to people during close contact, but this is rare. These cases include farmed mink in Europe and the United States, white-tailed deer in Canada, pet hamsters in Hong Kong, and a cat in Thailand. In most of these cases, the animals were known to be first infected by a person who had COVID-19.

Animals infected with SARS-CoV-2 have been documented around the world. Most of these animals became infected after contact with people with COVID-19, including owners, caretakers, or others who were in close contact. We don’t yet know all of the animals that can get infected. Animals reported infected worldwide include

Companion animals, including pet cats, dogs, hamsters, and ferrets.

• Animals in zoos and sanctuaries, including several types of big cats (e.g., lions, tigers, snow leopards), otters, non-human primates, a binturong, a coatimundi, a fishing cat, hyenas, hippopotamuses, and manatees.
• Mink on mink farms.
• Wildlife, including white-tailed deer, mule deer, a black-tailed marmoset, a giant anteater, and wild mink near mink farms.

The CDC says, "There is no evidence that animals play a significant role in spreading SARS-CoV-2." Of course their story is that it first infected a human because of a bat. Or was it made in a lab? I'm not sure anymore, and neither are the "experts." Because they keep changing their story -- each time the current story becomes less plausible.

Remember, if you just get the vaccine, things will go back to normal. The lockdowns will stop, we can all take off the masks, stop standing 6-feet apart, and using salad bar sneeze guards at checkout counters. Only that was a lie to get people to take the vaccines. If you remember Fauci was asked multiple times as to what the vaccination level needed to be before things could go back to normal.

Fauci has in the past said that if the U.S. achieves 70% to 85% of the population vaccinated, that would equate to good “herd immunity,” and the country should start to see a return to normality by the fall. That, of course, may depend on individuals’ age, circumstances and underlying conditions.

Also Thursday, Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla told CNBC that people will likely require a third vaccine dose after 12 months, and potentially annual vaccinations thereafter. When asked about the prospects for a next-generation vaccine that can fend off emerging variants of the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, Fauci told the hearing that the endgame was a universal vaccine, the business-news channel reported.

At any rate, the goal is to get people to take these mRNA vaccines in perpetuity. If public health were ever the true goal things would not have progressed this way.
