We are about to see that principle in action.<\/p>\n<p>On Thursday, <a href=\"https:\/\/legalinsurrection.com\/2022\/07\/biden-administration-planning-to-extend-covid-public-health-emergency\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Legal Insurrection<\/a> reported the following:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>One day, I will no longer write about covid.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>But today is not that day.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>After two years of covid lockdowns, restrictions, and progressive virtue signaling with promises of being able to contain an uncontainable virus, the country is seeing a surge in covid cases.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Laughably, officials say they \u201c<a role=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/news.yahoo.com\/omicron-ba5-subvariant-immune-evading-covid-155640198.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">know how to manage it<\/a>.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px;\"><strong>Top U.S. health officials warned Tuesday that a surge of COVID-19 cases driven by the highly transmissible Omicron subvariant BA.5 has arrived, but stressed that the country has the tools \u2014 like vaccines and antiviral treatments \u2014 to prevent people from getting seriously ill.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px;\"><strong>\u201cWe know how to manage it,\u201d Dr. Ashish Jha, coordinator of the White House\u2019s COVID-19 response, said at a virtual press briefing. \u201cWe can prevent serious illness.

In fact, in my personal experience, I know many people who are now recovering from covid infections who did not believe me when I said that we would all, eventually, get the disease.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I predict that by the time of the mid-term election Americans will be so fearful of this new variant that drop boxes for ballots will be absolutely necessary (according to the Biden administration) to protect the health of voters. Signature matching will be waived in order to reduce the number of people handling ballots, and oddly enough, the Democrats will remain in control of Congress. I hope I am wrong, but I am not sure Americans have the backbone to stand up against the Democrat power grab that is being planned to steal the mid-term election.<\/p>\n<p>The article concludes:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Dr. Anthony Fauci returned to lead the White House\u2019s public messaging on COVID-19 this week after his own battle with the disease \u2014 urging Americans to again wear masks and get boosted amid the threat of waning immunity against surging new variants.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>The administration\u2019s 81-year-old chief medical adviser has been lying low since testing positive in mid-June.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Now recovered, the quadruple-vaccinated infectious disease expert gave a series of interviews Tuesday to warn of surging cases sparked by the latest Omicron variant, BA.5 \u2014 and caution Americans that even those recently recovered from an infection are likely still at risk.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>\u201cThe threat to you is now,\u201d Fauci warned during a White House briefing Tuesday.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>After doing it Fauci\u2019s way for two years, how about doing it my way:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li><strong>No testing, unless symptoms warrant identification of virus.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Promotion of early treatment options that are inexpensive and readily accessible.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Focusing on good diet, vitamins and exercise as preventatives against severe covid.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>End vaccine mandates, and allow people to make the decision about the vaccine that best suit their own risks.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Finally, end the ridiculous \u201cpublic health emergency,\u201d which at this point is a \u201cpolitical health emergency.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Makes sense to me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Most of us quietly acquiesced to the restrictions imposed by Washington, D.C. during the Covid pandemic.
