Jim Treacher does a nice summary of the changing Covid rules and provides a little rant-style humor at the end.

The Rules Wouldn’t Keep Changing If You Peasants Just Did What You’re Told at That Particular Moment

“…We got some new COVID-19 rules yesterday. They were different than the rules we got the day before that, and I assume they’re different than the rules we’ll get tomorrow.

To recap:

    1. Absolutely do not wear a mask
    2. You must, must, must wear a mask or you’re killing Grandma
    3. Don’t leave the house or you’re killing Grandma
    4. If you can’t avoid leaving the house, stay at least six feet away from any other human being you see or you’re killing Grandma
    5. Wash your hands 20 times a day
    6. Do not touch your face or anything else, ever
    7. Get vaccinated so you don’t have to wear a mask
    8. You have to wear a mask even if you’re vaccinated
    9. When the above rules change, and then change back, and then change back again, shut up about it or you’re a stupid MAGA-head
    10. Don’t forget to vote Democrat!

Finally

“When I said it’s forever, that was true at the time.” Sounds like a country song.

Remember 15 days to slow the spread? Try 15 years.

So now it’s my fault that the Biden administration hasn’t hit its COVID vaccination goal. It’s my fault that Biden is failing. That’s on me. I did the right thing and got vaccinated, and now he wants to punish me for it because some other people didn’t get vaccinated. I’m supposed to start wearing a mask again because somebody somewhere did a study, and some bureaucrat saw it and flew into a panic, and the president of the United States said, “Yeah, yeah, panic, let’s have some more of that!”

And this is supposed to convince unvaccinated people to change their minds, somehow? Biden thinks he’s punishing Private Pyle by making the rest of us do endless push-ups while Pyle stands there eating his donut. Except Pyle doesn’t give a $#!+, and if we throw him a blanket party tonight, we’ll go to jail.

How is this supposed to work? How is putting me back in a mask supposed to convince an unvaccinated person that he needs to get vaccinated so he still has to wear a mask? What is that conversation supposed to sound like?

“Hey, see this mask I’m wearing, even though I’m vaccinated?”

“Yeah.”

“I can’t take it off until you get vaccinated.”

“Okay.”

“Are you going to get vaccinated?”

“No.”

THE END

An unvaccinated guy sees a bunch of vaccinated people wearing masks, and he says, “See? The vaccines don’t work!” This is exactly the wrong message to send. It’s backwards. It’s brainless. It’s Biden…”

All actions have consequences, some good, some bad. We’ve pushed so hard, so fast on vaccinations that no one knows what the consequences will be.

‘Vaccines could push the evolution of strains that evade their protection’

I think it is time to slow down. Watch and wait.

CDC report – 74% of cases in recent outbreak were vaccinated.

Outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 Infections, Including COVID-19 Vaccine Breakthrough Infections, Associated with Large Public Gatherings — Barnstable County, Massachusetts, July 2021

“…During July 2021, 469 cases of COVID-19 associated with multiple summer events and large public gatherings in a town in Barnstable County, Massachusetts, were identified among Massachusetts residents; vaccination coverage among eligible Massachusetts residents was 69%. Approximately three quarters (346; 74%) of cases occurred in fully vaccinated persons (those who had completed a 2-dose course of mRNA vaccine [Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna] or had received a single dose of Janssen [Johnson & Johnson] vac- cine ≥14 days before exposure)…”

Biden’s economic policies have taken hold and we are starting to see results…

Key inflation indicator up 3.5% year over year in June for fastest gain since 1991

    • An inflation gauge followed closely by the Federal Reserve increased 3.5% year over year in June, slightly below the 3.6% estimate.
    • Consumer spending rose 1%, faster than expected as personal income also increased.
    • Labor costs rose as well, with compensation rising 2.9% from a year earlier.

On the bureaucracy in general and Fauci in particular…

The Case of Fauci: Why Bureaucrats Need Term Limits More Urgently Than Politicians

Roger L Simon:

“…Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) alluded to this unfortunate situation on Steve Hilton’s “The Next Revolution” in December 2020: “And you know, Steve, one of the things you touched on about the bureaucracy and cutting it—I have said for a long time, we need to have term limits for bureaucrats because they are the ones that dig in.”

Indeed. But little has been done about it.

All the while, the bureaucracy, aka the deep state, has been reaching new heights (or lows), in essence taking over the country. As, for example, with Dr. Anthony Fauci.

Excessive? Well, who has more power? President Biden? Someone behind Biden whispering in his ear?

Possibly. But whoever it is or they are, they all bow their heads during this endless pandemic to the director of the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). Otherwise, they risk the withering contempt of “he who represents science” with attendant career-ending consequences.

Never mind that this supposed great scientist contradicts himself so frequently he resembles a Lewis Carroll character or that “settled science” is in itself an oxymoron.

Just the other day, he was seeming to wobble under withering examination from Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) over the NIAID director’s relationship, including possible funding, with the Wuhan Institute of Virology from emails recently exposed via a Freedom of Information Act request.

This points to the extraordinary danger posed by Fauci and other unelected bureaucrats who, due to years of basically unsupervised activity, make decisions that affect foreign policy as greatly as presidents.

What could be more alarming than the funding or sponsoring of gain-of-function research in communist China by American taxpayers?

Was the doctor not aware of information that is publicly available, such as this report from Japan Forward: “Biological Weapons the Focus of China’s Military Research in the Last 20 Years.”

In a way, we can read Fauci’s strangely erratic behavior over the past couple of years, including disagreeing with Trump over the then-president’s decision to block travel from China at the beginning of the pandemic, as an attempt to evade scrutiny of his relationship with the communist Chinese.

To this day, he’s avoiding answering questions on this relationship that could end up linking him to some of the most heinous research ever conducted, both abroad and, alas, at home.

Fauci himself could have what the French call “mains sales” (dirty hands) in the horrifying global tragedy that has transpired and is continuing to plague us.

Or not.

But what is he hiding and why are we, the citizens of a supposedly free country, prey to his edicts?

Speaking personally, I took the Pfizer shots and now wonder if I should have, as it becomes more clear that the death rates for healthy people are exceptionally low, even for 70- and 80-year-olds, and that readily available drugs like ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine work just as well, most probably better, than the vaccinations, to keep us healthy.

But someday this will end, or more likely be abated, and something else will come up. For that reason, term limits for the bureaucracy should be at the top of the agenda when the Republicans next hold the presidency and the Congress.

No more Faucis, please…”
