We are seeing literally millions of cases of Omicron but the death rate and hospitalization from Omicron is virtually zero.

The severity of omicron is far below even the error bars for the best case scenario

Of 52,000 people in S California who were cases of omicron, 230 showed up at emergency rooms, 80 were actually admitted to the hospital. 7 went into ICU and 1 died.

This chart shows not only that omicron has become dominant but that delta is virtually gone

Remember the bar for calling someone a “covid patient” is simply that you have covid even if you are admitted to the hospital because of a more serious condition and I don’t have the data but my strong belief is the one who died did NOT die from omicron but happened to have omicron and died of heart disease or something else. There’s around 94% chance of that.

What makes me call this the end of covid is that delta infections have dropped to near zero. As omicron has spiked the delta variant which is at least 10 times deadlier has almost completely disappeared.

In other words Covid is for all intents and purposes gone.

Does that mean don’t get vaxxed, don’t take ivermectin, don’t keep taking vitamin D? NO! Everyone should take preventative measures in case they do happen to be one of the now extremely rare delta patients or if you are otherwise sick find that covid somehow makes your other problems worse.

What it means is we can drop all pretense of closing anything down, wearing masks, demanding people take vaccinations and basically the entire thing should be relegated to the 6th page or something equivalent to that in our minds.

We should all be able to go out and feel completely riskless in kissing people, hugging people, doing activities, going to concerts, having parties or celebrations. We should put this whole thing behind us.

I will invite people to a party at my home to celebrate end of covid.

Letsgo Brandon will undoubtedly take credit for ending the pandemic while completely screwing up over the last year and killing 200,000 in 2021 after democrats killed 60,000 in 2020 from their malfeasance.

They will undoubtedly claim they saved us just as their vaccines mandates were nullified by the Supreme Court and never really took effect although some companies are still mandating vaccines.

We never got the tests that Brandon promised at the beginning of his pathetic presidency. But now nobody needs them. I would rather he gave us free blood tests for vitamin D levels in people’s blood.

It’s over for better or worse there is nothing that will bring covid back except another variant possibly but there is no evidence another variant is brewing from anything I’ve read.

Our national and world nightmare has ended.

It actually ended a year ago when we got the vaccines. Although the Trump vaccines weren’t perfect, don’t prevent you from spreading or getting covid they do a pretty good job of increasing your survival of this relatively low death rate disease to levels that were irrelevant.

The post-Morten of covid needs to begin. We need to assess how effective the following measures and policies were:

  • Vaccines
  • Masks
  • Ivermectin and HCQ
  • Vitamin D, Zinc and other immune system boosters
  • Monoclonal antibodies
  • School lockdowns
  • Business Shutdowns
  • Group event shutdowns
  • Mask mandates
  • Vaccine mandates
  • State travel lockdowns
  • Travel lockdowns
  • Isolation regimes
  • Crush the virus vs herd immunity policies of different countries

Most of these policies seem to have been at least at this early date of analysis been ineffective.

There is zero evidence masks or mask mandates had any effect on deaths or cases or anything. Many states which eliminated these masks a year ago show no statistical difference from states that enforced the most restrictions and masks.

Schools being shutdown seems to have accomplished nothing. No deaths of any child under 18 has been documented that was from covid and not just having covid while having leukemia and dying of leukemia. Also how much education did we lose vs how many lives might have been saved?

The studying of the effects of covid and how effective we were in preventing now only health effects but economic losses should be understood.

My guess is travel lockdowns did prevent spread somewhat.

I think we will find that we should have used antivirals much more and advised people to use vitamin D more. Like Trump advised. That our medical system failed us in promoting vaccines over everything else primarily because of their interests in pushing the US and the world to use their vaccines far more than was useful.

I think we will find the vaccines were mostly safe but that there are risks especially heart related especially with younger people.

I think we will see that the other lockdowns in general didn’t accomplish anything. If lockdowns worked we should have seen dramatic differences in results from states which didn’t lockdown and states or cities that did. To my knowledge there is no evidence any of these business shutdowns, event shutdowns had any real effect on the virus or the results.

We need statistics for the following things:

  • How many actually died because of covid vs how many died with covid.
  • How many children died who actually died of covid not some other health condition
  • How many unvaccinated people died from covid not with covid who were under 65
  • How many people died in nursing homes
  • We must continue to study the vaccine effects on people and its safety
  • We must know the number of cases, deaths etc that happened from illegal immigration
  • How many were lost because of lack of hospital capacity or because of people delaying treatment of other diseases
  • How many could have been saved if we had followed an optimal strategy? I.e. the best of the first lists treatments.
  • How much was our economy, jobs, the middle and lower classes damaged from policies above compared to how many lives they saved for these policies vs the gains made by the rich?
  • Did Drug companies have undue influence on our policy choices?
  • How politicized was medicine? What was true vs what we were told was true.
  • Who actually took the vaccines and who didn’t? Is it republicans as democrats have said? And if those people had taken the vaccine how many would have been saved?
  • How many who of the unvaccinated are people with prior covid or are children? How many aren’t? How many unvaccinated are in the most at risk group and why didn’t they take it?
  • Where and how did the virus originate and what are we doing to prevent further gain of function research and new viruses from leaking out?
  • What damages should China pay if any for the virus?
  • What was the involvement of Americans in this development?
  • Can China be made to clean up its food supply to test its animals and reduce the usage of untested animals in its food chain?
  • How effective was natural immunity and how long will it last?
  • How long does covid vaccine immunity last and when / if we should continue to take doses?
  • Can we improve the vaccine to produce longer lasting, less side effects so that it makes sense to consider vaccinating children.
  • How much did our kids suffer educationally from school shutdowns?
  • How different or severe was the effect of covid on blacks vs other groups on health, education and economic well being
  • How many people did we lose from side effects of covid, i.e. suicides, more violence in the home, drug overdoses
  • Was it worth doing anything or was this entire disease hyped? There were 800,000 deaths reported but we now know only 50,000 died of covid. 94% of people died with covid. We don’t know how many would have died anyway. If it is 50,000 then we have spent 2 years for a disease that is almost irrelevant.
  • How did Covid affect our mental health?
  • Can we learn what the ultimate R0 for covid was and determine a strategy to deal with diseases with different r0’s and different toxicities and prepare for these things better?
  • Can we make vaccines fast again? Can we make tests faster in the future for diseases? Make them in vastly larger quantities faster and avoid the equipment shortage problems at the beginning that mostly the rest of the world suffered.
  • What groups suffered the most and what can we do to fix those damages now?
  • What countries did better and which worse? What are the real numbers for other countries since there is no faith much of the data even in the US is very accurate?
  • How did the measures taken to shut down the virus have on supply chain and small businesses vs large business?
  • We need to get the vaccine effects data released sooner than 75 years from the CDC.
  • We should perform FOIA requests on state agencies and wherever desired to determine how decisions were made.

We imposed incredibly costly measures on our economy and people with the policies in the first list. Was any of this worth it? What should we have done?

We should get to the bottom of the source and figure out what we can do to prevent future scares like this and reduce economic and health impacts in the future.

We did very radical things like closing down schools which we’ve never done before even though there was massive evidence that covid has no real impact on kids. Is there a way we could have protected teachers and still keep schools open? After the vaccines was there any reason to keep any schools closed?

There was a lot of politicization of medicine. We should try to fix this and improve medicine so this doesn’t happen again instead of making endemic politicization of medicine like we’ve seen with other areas of our society.

It’s bad enough to have a divided country that has an FBI that acts like a democrat Gestapo. Can we decide medicine and science should be off limits for politics and institute stronger mandates for allowing transparency of data.

I think our handling of covid was embarrassing

There was so much misinformation about the disease. Who gave misinformation and what effect did it have? I think the democrats have been the biggest source of misinformation.

They have vilified people who didn’t do anything wrong and posed no greater risk. They have told people things that were known to be wrong and suppressed information which was correct.

Democrtats suppressed the origins of the virus. They suppressed information about real deaths and we had grossly overestimated number of deaths.

They spent a lot of time trying to mandate things that didn’t work causing pain to a great many people that they didn’t have to with no conceivable benefit in hindsight.

As the pre-eminent nation in medicine and technology we bungled the response to this crisis unbelievably badly.

There is no doubt we used measures that had no scientific validity that served no purpose while at the same time invalidating other measures that had data that clearly indicated they had a chance of working.

We killed people in nursing homes unnecessarily. Why?

We imposed unneeded lockdowns and other tactics that looked more like panic than sound thinking.

We bungled testing at the beginning and all along but especially in 2021 when there was no excuse.

It’s over so all the emergency powers need to go too

We also must make all state emergency powers for covid go away. All the requirements and mandates must go away.

We cannot have a lasting damage to our democracy by allowing government to retain more power just because we had to deal with a disease.

I feel this is done. Not time to move on for research, academics, economists or medical researchers to finish studying. In a big sense their jobs have just begun.

America has reduced the deaths from all natural disasters by 99.9% since early 20th century. We continue to make astounding progress not only in America but around the world in reducing the consequence of mother natures tantrums and what she can throw at us.

It is our biggest success. We continue to make great advances to reduce the effects.

Since the creation of the first vaccines, development of key antibacterial and antivirus medications it seems like a lot of progress has stalled on the health front.

In the US the longevity started to fall around the time of Obamacare. We no longer see systematic and what seemed automatic improvements in lifespan.

We are making dramatic progress in the science of medicine, learning exponentially more about genetics, our immune system but we have made almost no progress in decades on prevention.

Our medical system spends almost every dollar on disease oriented fixes as if the origination of those diseases cannot be changed.

I call this the analogy of the storming of Normandy. Our medical system is designed to fight the big battle once the disease has gotten to the point that your life is threatened. It is far less focused on finding very early onset and underlying preventative measures or using genetics or other data to determine who is at risk of X, Y or Z.

You can get a genetic analysis of your likelihood of getting some very rare cancers and other conditions but we haven’t made a lot of progress.

Our medical system did about as good as others. I expect more.

The Spanish flu killed at least 50 million people over a period of several years. This pandemic may kill 10-20 million in the end after the real data is understood. That’s 80% better but not 99.9% better.

We can do a lot to improve this and to prevent further virus. Almost all viruses that infect humans malevolently come from China and basically from poor food handling practices that are unsanitary and involve eating animals that are not tested for diseases or can’t be tested.

All of our flu viruses originate from animals mixing with humans in close proximity that aren’t tested for diseases and are unsanitary. We can change this.

This virus emerged from a lab. I have virtual certainty of that from numerous lines of evidence. I think almost any real scientist has to admit this. So, this is easy to fix. Stop screwing around with viruses in these laboratories or institute vastly better isolation practices so leaks cannot occur again.

I think we can make dramatic improvements in the future. I emphasize future because covid is over. Now we should focus on how to improve our response by understanding what worked, what was done wrong and removing the politics from it.

I say the virus is done because delta has virtually disappeared and the new variant is so weak and spreading so fast that virtually everyone will be immune by infection within a short time and even those who get it will suffer almost no problems.

So, we are done with telling you what to do. Obviously you should still take preventative care like vaccines, ivermectin, vitamin D. But now it’s time to study what we did and what we can do better.
