“Pandemic phase” of COVID-19 Over, Says Dr. Anthony Fauci

Dr. Anthony Fauci has declared the U.S. is no longer in the “pandemic phase” of COVID-19 – more than two years after the WHO declared a pandemic. The New York Post has more.

PBS NewsHour’s Judy Woodruff pressed the White House Chief Medical Adviser Tuesday on the state of the virus in the U.S., particularly as many Americans prepare to receive their second booster shots and mask requirements are lifted across the country.

“Here we are. It’s the end of April. It’s the spring of 2022. How close are we to the end of the pandemic?” Woodruff asked.

“We are certainly, right now, in this country out of the pandemic phase,” Fauci replied. “Namely, we don’t have 900,000 new infections a day and tens and tens and tens of thousands of hospitalisations and thousands of deaths. We are at a low level right now.”

“So, if you’re saying, are we out of the pandemic phase in this country, we are,” he added. …

Earlier this month, Fauci indicated his support for individual Americans making their own medical risk assessments when it comes to COVID-19.

“This is not going to be eradicated, and it’s not going to be eliminated,” he told ABC’s This Week. “And what’s going to happen is that we’re going to see that each individual is going to have to make their calculation of the amount of risk that they want to take.”

Fauci’s hopeful rhetoric is in stark contrast to the dire warnings he issued at the start of the pandemic, urging Americans to follow social distancing and masking guidelines.

Good to see that even America’s Mr Lockdown is finally throwing in the towel.

Just a short delay while they find a new lab. Another from the Wuhan Lab would be too suspicious and the next one planned for release from the Ukrainian labs has been unavoidably disrupted. I predict somewhere in South America.

It is not minds that have changed. It is the phase of the pandemic, which is due to immunity and lower death rates.
Which is due to vaccination.

So let’s say thank you to the vaccines.

Surprising then that all cause mortality has gone up not down. The vaccines are so good that the more shots you have the better chance you get of being infected or reinfected. That is patently obvious. What is more insidious is the myth that they prevent you getting seriously ill. There is no evidence to that, and it’s unlikely there ever will be. Let’s say thank you to the vaccines that were patented a day after the virus was, in 2017. Yeah good idea.

There is no mention of the slow march into neurological tissue and destruction of the brain. Of course nobody wants to look at that. This disease contains many sinister realities, I have seen them in the deterioration of older members of my own family. There is no putting humpty dumpty back together again just like there is no going back to our cognitive level of ten years ago. And pricks like this one are entirely responsible.

I too have seen what you describe – in elderly relatives, for which I will never forgive what has been done to them and the people who have played their part in it, but also in younger vaccinated too. I think it was at worst deliberate and intentional, and at best, possibly accidental or a known risk that TPTB were happy to take.

The differential has already occurred. The fact that a vaxxed person who might exert themself physically will possibly induce a heart attack, as if physical exertion sets up a system of knives and daggers within the vascular system. The fittest and the best are those who will be struck down first. There is already evidence for this. These people will have fewer and fewer defenders as time goes by.

In other noos, your writer’s nearest ‘CofE’ church has stopped flying the Ukrainian flag and is once again flying the English flag. You know, the flag of the land it is alleged to represent. I suppose, unlike the regime, she wasn’t in it for the long haul. But you’ll nonetheless forgive the deviation of the church, she has long since deviated from her traditional/theological roots.

I’m not on the Musk bandwagon. I don’t think he’s going to be the saviour of freedom of expression that everyone on the right and moderate left believes. I can’t quite articulate why I’m sceptical, but it has something to do with Musk himself/his own world view combined with the lunatic establishment making life difficult for him.

ONS: there were 46,202 deaths registered in England in March 2022. This was 640 more deaths than in March 2021 and 1,141 more deaths (2.5%) than the five-year average (2016 to 2019, and 2021).  It doesn’t sound like a pandemic.

I don’t know where you get your “facts” from but –

https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/news-perspective/2021/06/global-covid-deaths-2021-have-topped-all-last-years

“COVID-19 deaths in 2021 worldwide have surpassed the total number of COVID-19 deaths in all of 2020, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis of Johns Hopkins data yesterday. As of Jun 10, 1,884,146 people have died of COVID-19 in 2021, compared with the 1,880,510 in 2020.”

Now explain why countries with a low or no vaccine programme are also seeing death rates fall this year.

Natural immunity by any chance?

Pfizer knew about that in their own trials –

Keep back peddling you Fraud.
It seems like almost on a daily basis now, our suspicions and “theories” are being proven correct.
Add this to the recent court case in the UK, where the decision to deport the elderly back to care homes was found unlawful.
Their whole system of lies is crumbling, one rotten piece at a time.
There is a rumbling amongst the masses, they still don’t understand the gravity of the situation, the deceptive media are still trying to steer the conversation away from the truth.
But people are at least now starting to get uneasy with the narrative.
The penny might just drop for some of them.

They will go to any lengths to keep this schtum. I even read an article recently which claimed that the civil service was adopting a lazy manana attitude as part of some new cultural drive. Believe me if a new manana attitude is starting to prevail it is because of the physical and spiritual weakening of the particpiants, We are talking about a great diminution of our energies and we shouldn’t just brush this aside. But people will, the line of least resistance is always the most attractive,

The public sector has always had a manana attitude, it matters not whether they sit at a desk in an office or in their pyjamas at home. The fact is they are unaccountable and hence the motivation to succeed and deliver value is absent.

Hang on a minute!

The most significant global event in mankind’s history and it took a journalist to ask a question which dragged out a casual admission from, perhaps, the principle actor in this whole event, that the pandemic is over?

No global, or even national announcement in the USA, that we are all out of the woods and covid is now merely endemic?

Nothing splurged across the broadsheets and red tops, no grand announcements on radio or TV? No celebrations in parliaments across the world?

Nothing to demonstrate to the Chinese, torturing their population once again, that the west has had enough and we are damn well getting back to normal.

No! Just Fauci treating the public with his usual contempt and doing a Joe Biden whisper into the mic. that will slowly dribble around the western world.

It seems, by his attitude, that we stupid public should all have known this already.

It’s OK because vaccinated people are a ‘dead end for coronavirus’; she can freely mix with others knowing that it’s impossible for her to pass it on. Thus spake Fauci before it was universally recognised that the vaccines were less than useless.

What I find absolutely sickening about this statement from Fauci and the legal judgement about care home admissions is the almost zero acknowledgement from the average citizen and the media of their parts in this. For over two years they ran the psyop and were willing participants in the mindless evil that took place and in places still is.
Over 50% of the population should feel ashamed of itself, but it doesn’t its too busy cheering on some country that a few months ago could have been outer mongolia.
