Anyone pay attention to the recent study by Johns Hopkins University which concluded that over the last two years, with lockdowns, and school closures, and social distancing, and yes, even the vaccine, that the number of deaths without doing all of these things would be 0.2% different. You read that correctly: two-tenths-of-one-percent.. If you were watching any news other than Fox recently (last week) you would not have heard this or if you read any mainstram papers? The same.

They’re not even trying to hide it anymore, what’s that you say? All of those people from the government that told us we have to follow the science and not be influenced ideologically. about COVID and especially the vaccines. Remember when President Biden stood before the American people and pushed for all to receive a booster shot if they’d had the original vaccine for at least 6 months? Recall he said it was going to be available on September 20th, and he wanted everyone eligible to get the booster ASAP.

One one end we’re told that and it allows everyone to actually take a breath, knowing that even if they are infected, unless they have some underlying co-morbifity, their chance of dying from this is virtually zero.

Remember last year when ther were people telling all of us we would have to get used to a new normal due to the pandemic? Oh, by the way, Happy New Year to everyone. Yes, we were told that out lives would probably change in certain ways, forever. It’s not that there are new laws on the books, at least none where I live. There are some Executive Orders though that restrict what people may or may not do inside and outside the home. where I live, there are no mandates – yet, but I suspect it won’t be long before my Governor is forced to take some extra steps, even if temporary, attempting to throttle the spread of the virus.
