Moment of Truth for Open U.S. States as Delta Surge Arrives

It’s been relatively easy since March for the open U.S. states to stand by their decision to roll back Covid restrictions as infections have defied the doom-mongers’ models and stayed low.

However, that is about to change for at least some of the states. The arrival of the Delta variant (see below) is now causing surges in infections in a number of states, including some which have reduced restrictions to a minimum, such as Florida and Arkansas (see above).

Delta variant is in green (CoVariants)

Short-lived surges driven by new variants come and go – the Delta surge is already peaking in the U.K., at least among the unvaccinated and in Scotland, showing there is nothing to fear.

The open American states will need to hold their nerve in the coming weeks as infections rise and they come under pressure to “do something” once again.

Is fear the excuse then for brutish authoritarian scum like this US doctor (former President of Planned Parenthood, apparently) given an uncritical platform on leftist mainstream media to advocate coerced experimental medication of dissenters?

It needs to be hard for people to remain unvaccinated…..we need to make getting vaccinated the easy choice.”

This has always been the way of communism. Every time they get thwarted, more people die. The big difference now is it’s happening in the two bastions of freedom. Soon there will be nowhere to seek asylum. Nowhere to go. This is why it was so important for the Globalists to destroy President Trump. They had Johnson in the palm of their hands once Nutnuts broke him away from a strongly patriotic wife. President Trump is not so easily bought.

Two points:

(a) That graph shows that the commencement of mass vaccination of elderly and vulnerable in the UK correlates with a massive rise in the number of Covid deaths. It looks like had it not been for the mass vaccination programme, then the trailing-off that can be seen from November would have continued. At a rough guesstimate it’s possible the excess deaths attributable to this correlation could be around 40,000, Despite the fact this pattern has been seen in just about every country that begins a mass vaccination programme, none of the relevant bodies e.g. MHRA have either commented on it or found it in any way puzzling! Tells you all you need to know. They are so deep in this together…they have to keep the Big Lie going.

(b) I am appalled at the way the Royal Colleges have connived in both uncritical promotion of the Covid vaccines and minimising the extent of the damage being done by lockdownism to our health and prosperity.

Since when did the “variants” become a thing? The obsession with named variants seems to be a phenomenon that is particularly ‘virulent’ in the UK, perhaps due to the overanalysis of samples never seen before in the history of disease epidemiology. The existence of sophisticated genomics laboratories is possibly our undoing in this regard and the old adage ‘seek and you shall find’ seems particularly pertinent.  https://www.hartgroup.org/indian-variant-concerns-unfounded/ It’s the same virus. “Variants” don’t deserve to be named differently, they are just one of thousands tiny mutations that happened in the last year and a half. I would look for “surge” explanation in how many tests are being done and what kind, the level of CT threshold, and in what has been little mentioned so far, the representativeness of testing samples. You can’t test everyone all the time, so you take what you think is a representative sample, and then extrapolate to whole population. But how representative is it really? And finally do the apparent rise in cases apparently cause serious illness… John I. constantly speaks of biases of various seroprevelence testing and mistakes (that tend to inflate IFR). The same question of how representative is the sample can be asked… Read more »

Just back from two weeks in Florida. There is probably no need to worry about that state losing its nerve. The beaches of the panhandle were packed and joyous. The restaurants were packed. The only masks in sight marked the tourists from Michigan, at the seafood market, folks who had just arrived and missed the memo.

There. Is. No. Pandemic. In. Florida.

We’re off to Texas tomorrow, for river paddling, horse riding, and shooting sports. Our plans to hike in Switzerland were cancelled for this summer, so we are vacationing in states that showed courage. If we can’t do Europe, by God we’ll do America! I’ll report.

Florida. There is probably no need to worry about that state losing its nerve.

The panicker side, which includes some seriously wealthy and powerful forces – the Democrat Party (which now has the POTUS), big tech, mainstream media except Fox, big pharma and all the business/regulatory/finance/science/academe interests under its influence – desperately needs the US Republican states which “opened up early” to be forced to retreat with their tails between their legs on this.

Hopefully, they can’t manufacture anything that will force that to happen.

none of these figures or graphs make sense unless taken un conjunction with those who are hospitalised or dying. We know there are millions in this country who will be hospitalised for diseases they were not treated for. Nothing to do with Covid. So we know the corrupt government of this country will use those ‘cases’ as another winter surge. however, the sunshine states will now be up against the next wave of fear and gaslighting in order to try and hide the truth now being seen over the stolen election. Don’t think for one moment the Globalists have given up their dream of depopulation. Everyone needs to be told the truth in context of what else is going on. President Trump is the true President of USA and the globalists need to stop him and his soaring popularity. How I wish Johnson had been strong enough to refuse Nutnuts and her Democrat associates. How I wish he was a strong conservative thinker. How I wish he was a truly patriotic leader who loved his country more than he loved the high life. How I wish we had been given the opportunity to elect our own truly Brexit government instead… Read more »

Even reporting a surge in so-called variants seems like fake news to me after listening to Dr David Martin’s testimonial to the CV Committee. It is evident that genomic patents were taken out on all facets of this not novel virus before 2019 and all sequencing is based on modelling of strands of which there are thousands – it’s utterly ludicrous to go on with this entire charade instead many heads should be rolling https://t.co/0D4sTUxLOL

I like Will Jones’ writing and I know the intentions are good but I do wish we didn’t see words like “surge” used and the un-caveated parrotting of dodgy “case” data. The folly and evil has been enabled in part by the distortion and hijacking of language, and underpinned by the representation of positive tests of dubious usefulness as “cases”.

Surely this ‘surge’ is being created by inappropriate testing of symptomless people and is *intended* to encourage ‘vaccine’ uptake. It’s creating a market for a fake and useless treatment.

The Vaccine variant.

swedenborg

According to Hope Simpson , Florida and a fringe of states in the South would normally have activity during summer of the virus.Currently high numbers of cases further south in Cuba etc.This will affect hard lockdown states like California and non lockdown states like Texas and Florida. We will see if less vaccinated Southern states would be more affected, looking at Israel the infections seems to be hardly affected by the vaccine but they  are desperately hoping ICUs,deaths will be less.(Reposting below the table from Israel showing the effect of vaccines as regards cases)
Everything points to an endemic equilibrium is coming of the virus. Difficult to think that LD would be reintroduced in the US states. Much more likely in Europe where Netherlands has reinstated SDs for the fourth(?) time

I hardly think a pro-vax site like this is in a position to offer rather condescending advice to the US’s open States, given that the “delta” surge in the UK has been happening despite the mass vaccination programme, with vaccination being no bar to transmission.

How Florida and Arkansas cope with “surges in infections” depends on how well the public is informed on what to do if people catch covid. The official NHS advice to this day is paracematol and wait to see what happens. For example, when should you call your GP? – here it is: “if you have difficulty breathing when you stand up or move around”, i.e. after it’s infected your lungs and you’re on the slippery close to an ICU and death. The CDC in the US gives the same criminal advice. So Ron de Santis needs to get out the message about home treatments and stock up on ivermectin.

fascinating that Fauci was refused a patent on the gene therapy because the US Patent office said it failed the tests of efficacy required so wasn’t a vaccine.

DeSantis has staked his presidential bid and political career on fighting back against the lockdowns. Democratic Party politicians are governing on a platform of fighting the coronavirus whereas many of the republicans have switched to a platform of fighting back against government overreach due to the coronavirus. The only way DeSantis is locking down again is if he has decided not to run for president and his political career is over. Very unlikely.

They aren’t ‘infections’ as we have always previously understood them. They are ‘positive tests’, which is very different indeed. If they stop the testing then no-one will have a clue that anything is actually happening.
